And he tried TO forget the pale face
and flashing eyes which turned toward
him that night at parting with such
a strange look of warning. But he did
not always succeed in forgetting. Some
times the remembrance of that face
rose like a vision between his eyes and
the endless rows of figures, and made
him shudder with mingled fear and
annoyance.

1t punished him. and it told upon
him The pallor which had come up
on his face the day the will was read
had settled there. The old look of
composed serenity and "oliness," as
Jack called it, had gone, and in the
place was look of strained ntentness
as if he were always listening, and
watching, and waiting.
He was fine actor, and would
have made fortune on the boards,
and he managed to suppress this look
at times, but the effort of suppress
sion was palpable; he showed that he
was affecting a calmness and serenity
which he did not possess.

change to him was especially noticed

ritated stephen to such an extent that
sometimes he felt an irresistible desire
to fling something at him.

lying advertisements. They may pay tempo
rariy, but no permanent success was ever built
on foundation of humbug. Most advertisers are
honest. At least, they mean to be.
Often each one of half dozen dealers will
insist that he has "the biggest and best stock in
the city" Of course, they can't all be right, but
that is merely a form of words. Really it doesn't
mean much of anything, either to the writer or
the reader, and SO does no harm-except that it
wastes valuable space in the paper
The advertisement that pays best is the
plain, honest, forceful talk, written just if the
writer was talking to the reader face to face-a

H f, { {, REUTER- REUTER- IS IS DEAD DEAD
Passes Away Very Suddenly at
Home Last Evening.

Henry G. Reuter-, proprietor Of the
Metropolitan meat market, died very
suddenly Monday evening at his resi-
dence, corner Fourth street and Third
avenue. of heart trouble. The man
has been ailing for a number of
months, but the death was sudden and
unexpected to relatives and friends
alike.
The deceased has been confined to
mis- home but a short time. He was
at his place of business but few
days ago, and since his confinement
to his home has been sitting up most
of the time. He was much better yes
terday and his physician felt greatly
encouraged over his symptoms. He
called for his daily paper last even
ing at the time of it's delivery and at
tempted to read, but was annoyed, as
ne explained to caller, by what
seemed to be butterflies fitting about
the room and before his eyes. He
said he had seen them all day. He
took no nourishment during the even
ing hour, nor had he been able to dur
ing the past several days. He SEEM
ed to be resting quietly until about
eight o'clock, wnen he complained of
intense pain in the region Of his
heart and shortly afterwards he COM
planned of shortness of breath. About
half past eight he moaned few
times with pain, and then folding his
arms across his breast he leaned back
and passed away.
Mr.. Reuter- came to Oskaloosa about
fifteen years ago and engaged in the
meat market and butcher business in
the city. He kept a fine shop, catered
to the wants of the trade and prosper
ed in a manner that enabled him to
accumulate considerable means. He
built cosy little home at the corner
of Third street and Third avenue, and
with most estimable wife enjoyed
the fruits of his industry. Ill health
appeared some time ago in the form
OF a heart trouble, an unnatural
growth and neuralgia. He had been
making effort to dispose of his bush
ness in the city for some time past,
to enable him to get away for need
ed rest, but before his plans could be
realized he was taken away.
He leaves wife and three children,
two boys and girl. There are three
sisters, two residing in Ohio and one
at Leon in this state. The deceased
was forty-eight years Of age at the
date Of his death, September IL. He
was a member OF local lodges Of the
knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows, Mod
ern Woodmen and Woodmsn OF the
World
The funeral will be announced later,
