some remarkable classlhcatlons,

control Of the Nordland Institute of
Nurses and Is furnished throughout
to suit the peculiar needs of its fastld-
ious little inmates, whose parents,

Jean walked slowly along the
streets, seeing nothing for a time. He
was going toward home, and had al
most reached the narrow street upon
which stood Margot's cottage, when
he saw approaching that which sent
his dreams flying, and with them all
thoughts Of Laro and Louisiana.
1t was Greloire, who appeared to
have seen him at the same moment;
for he paused, as If waiting for the
boy to come near.
"Tell me-have you seen him?
What said he?" Jean demanded, be-
fore they had gone half dozen steps.
Never mind whether or not have
seen him." replied Greloire, rather
slowly. Let 1t suffice that he knows
of my having met with you, and of
your anxiety to see him. But he bids
you, with his love, to stop at home
for the present. Wait quietly here,
as he asks of you, and you will be
sure to see him in a short time"
"See him-herel" exclaimed the
boy. How can that be-"
81 cannot tell you that; only wait,
and you shall see. He was not pleased
that ever thought to encourage your
leaving the city; and so you must
promise not to attempt It,"
A rebellious light shone for a mo-
ment in the dark eyes turned to meet
the soldiers stern look. Then It was
gone, and Jean answered with a deep
sigh, yes; | will do as he wishes"
It lacked but few minutes Of eight
o'clock, and the neighborhood OF lie
Chen Heureux was unwontedly quiet.
Inside. however. there was the
usual gathering of soldiers and citi-
Zens.
Laro was not in the room with the
other customers; and Jean, upon in
curing for him, was told in a low
tone by Thiel that the captain was in
his own apartment
He then invited Jean to follow him,
and, after bidding Pierre wait where
he was, and to open the door To no
one. he led the way to the passage.

w. r. c. Notes.

The twentieth annual convention OF
the w. X. C. of the Department Of Colo
rado and Wyoming, held in Denver May
II, IS and 49, was one of the most sue
cessful in attendance and interest ever
held. Two hundred and thirty two mem
bers answered to roll call. Mrs. Jennie
McGill was elected department presi.
dent. She was one OF the candidates
last year, being defeated by only two
votes. As the National w. X. G. is com
ing back home to the place of its birth
in September next-it will then have
reached its majority, it was certainly
very fitting that Mrs. McGill should be
chosen to lead during the coming year,
for she is one of the oldest members in
point of service, and a member Of the
oldest corps in the United States.
The retiring president and president
elect we're the recipients Of many beau
tiful floral offerings.
General Blackmar and staff addressed
the convention.
Much interest is being manifested in
the forthcoming national convention in
September.

last week and bought load of spud,
from Albert Rcgester.
Jim Neeley used to say when a man
could drop spuds and keep up with the
plow, that was pretty good. Then when
the home made planter came into vogue,
he said that was better. Now, since Jim
has purchased self-dropping planter,
he says that is the best Nearly every
farmer who has given a planter fair
test talks just like Jim.

Lightning struck Elmer Royston's
straw stack Saturday during the storm,
setting it on fire, killing three year old
COW, and knocked down three horses
standing in the barn close by. When
the smoke commenced to raise from the
stack Mr.. Royston ran to the barn, turn
ed out the horses and began fighting the
blaze IN an effort to save the barn. BY
this time several neighbors had respond
ed, and after working vigorously for four
hours got the fire under control, but it
was not entirely extinguished until the
next day at noon, though the men had
worked all night.

RADIO home, he went to the beach yester
day for a final plunge with a party Of
friends.
Shortly after entering the surf Weiss

Why Suffer From Rheumatism

Why suffer from rheumatism when one
application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
will relieve the pain? The quick relief
which this liniment affords makes rest
and sleep possible, and that alone is
worth many times its cost. Many who
have used it hoping only for short re-
lief from suffering have been happily
surprised to find that after awhile the
relief became permanent. Mrs. V. II.
Leggett of Yum Yum, Tennessee, U. S.
A. writes: 81 am a great sufferer from
rheumatism, all over from head to foot,
and Chamberlan's Pain Balm is the on
ly thing that will relieve the pain" For
