THE ACCIDENT.

THE ACCIDENT.
Onward the party of gay eques-
trians swept, borne by the galloping
hoofsIsof their spirited steeds. Across
clear, cool streams, over green hills
crowned with trees, and pastS fertile
fields and fruit laden Orchards they
took their merry way, through the
sunshine of that summers after
noon, while no dark shadow of the
sorrow they were advancing rapidly
to meet rose warningly before them.
It came like a thunderbolt coming
from a cloudless sky on calm sum-
mer day.
Hiss Benefits horse, which had
always been considered surefooted,
stumbled and fell while galloping and
with the rapidity of lightning the
fair rider was thrown with great vio-
lence over the animal Ehead face
downward upon the hard ground
Captain Hazelton who was riding
by Miss Benefits side sprang hur-
riedly to the ground, and his horse,
joining the frightened one that had
thrown the young lady, both animals
galloped madly away.
Miss Bennett lay where she had
fallen, motionless and breathless and
as Captain Hazelton lifted her in his
arms her features were set and DEATH
like and a small stream of blood was
issuing from a wound in her right
temple.
The rest of the party refined in
their horses and hastily dismounting
came to Captain Hazelton's assistance
with horror depicted on their coun-
tenances.
Every effort possible under the cir
cumstances was made to revive the
injured girl, but no sign of returning
animation rewarded their frantic eff
forts
''Oh, my God! she is dead!' I'M
ogen cried in a voice of agony, and
then the terrified girl began TO wiring
her hands in an uncomfortable fit of
grief and alarm
Mrs. Cameron threw her arms
about the girl and did all she could
to comfort and soothe her, although
her own heart was torn by doubts
and fears.
81 do not think she is dead, my
darling" the good lady said, land
you must try and control yourself SO
that we may devise some plan for get
ting the poor sufferer home and I'M
der physicians care.''
Il will gallop home for assistance,
Ray said, springing into his saddle.
Captain Hazeiton stopped him.
NO." he cried. THAT will take too
much time. Dismount, Ray, and will
take your horse and carry Miss Ben
nett home in my arms
''Can you do it, safely?" Mr.. Cam
eron inquired with great anxiety in
his voice
Certainly" replied the young
captain. and Ray hastily dismounted
while his mother. sitting down on the
ground, took the girls head in her
lap, and Captain Hazelton sprang in
to Rays saddle.
Put her into my arms" the young
man said calmly, and MIR. Cameron
and Ray lifted the form of the I'M
conscious girl and placed it in front
of Captain Hazelton, who, putting
one arm around it firmly, put spurs
to his horse, and the next moment
disappeared in the direction of Beau
mont.
The runaway horses were captured
and in few minutes all were in their
saddles galloping swiftly homeward.
What change the last half hour
had witnessed. A passerby would
not have recognized in this pale
faced party the merry hearted eques-
trains who had swept down the road
scarcely an hour since.

to live another hour,' the girl sobbed.
Hush, Imogen, hush, I cannot
bear to hear you talk in this manner.
do not believe Miss Bennett is dead,
but even if she is we must try to
meet this sorrow bravely. You know
that life is full of accidents and be-
reavements, and we have to stand
them some way" the boy comforted
and philosophical.
81 cannot stand it. If she is dead
feel as if had been instrumental in
bringing about her DEATH" wept I'm
ogen.
''Imogen. you instrumental in
bringing about Miss Benefits death?
The very idea is absurd.' exclaimed
Ray impatiently.
LET me tell you how it was, Ray
she said in choking voice. "Miss
Bennett did not wish to go north with
us this summer, but wanted to spend
her vacation at St. Augustine, in the
convent. If she had been permitted
to carry out her wishes, she would
not have been with our riding party
today and would have escaped the
accident. But 1 would not let her
have her way. l insisted selfshly
that she must go with us to Virginia
until 1 gained her consent, and this
terrible accident is the result,'' and
poor Imogen's tears flowed afresh.
'You had nothing to do with io,''
Ray denied stoutly, land you must
not think you had. God knows it
will be hard enough for you to bear
if Miss Benefits accident results
fatally, without accusing yourself in
this fashion. Shall you be able to
ride farther? If so, we will hurry up
and get home and learn the worst"
She bowed her head in assent. He
removed his hand from her horses
bride and they dashed away leaving
the others far in the rear.
The sun was sinking behind noun
tains of gorgeously tinted clouds,
which formed sJft, elegant draperies
that were flung across the couch of
the king of day, when Governor and
hrs. Murriatte stepped into their
waiting carriage to take their even
ing drive
(which road would you rather
take, my love?" he inquired kindly,
as he took up the reins
''Imogen and miss Bennett request
ed me to drive out on the old shell
road TO meet them on their return, -
she answered.
He turned his horses heads to the
left, and touching them with the end
of the whip lash, said: THAT is
lovely road and 1 am sure we will en-
joy the ride"
They had only driven about half
mile when the laundering of horses
hoofs fell upon their ears.

Governor Murriatte remarked.

wered. '"They did not expect to re-

They had come into a straight
stretch of road in which the view for
considerable distance was unob-
structed- The beautiful trees on
either side of the road met overhead
forming lovely archway of living
green while the light beneath them
was dim and shadow.
Near and nearer came the sound of
nylng hoOfs, and moment later a
horseman dashed into view.
''Why what is this?'' exclaimed
Governor Murriatte, half rising to
his feet as his eyes pierced the dis
lance between them and the an
preaching horseman.

TRAVEL IN YELLOWSTONE.
Nearly one-Half the Visitors of Last
Year Were from Foreign
Countries.

A curious fact concerning the travel
into Yellowstone park last year has
been discovered by H. w. Child, presi-
dent Of the company, in compiling the
figures. He says:
Forty per cent of our 5000 visitors
last year were people OF
intelligence and means for the most
part, from Germany, France, Austria,
England, Spain, Norway and Sweden,
and even Russia. Almost every gov
ernment and principality of Europe
was represented in the small army of
people who came across the Atlantic
to see the wonders of nature in the
Yellowstone park.
"Of this 40 per cent, which means
two foreigners in every five people who
visited the park, the majority were
people who only saw two localities in
the United States-New York city and
the Yellowstone.
Il was greatly astonished to find that
many of these people came to the
United States solely to visit Yellow
stone park, and after having seen it,
left at once on the long journey
thousands of miles in some cases
to their homes in foreign countries.
"A party of titled Germans, men of
considerable prominence. visited the
park during last summer and | invited
them to put in an extra day as our
guests in examining the wonders Of
the Grand canyon. They thanked me
with every show Of appreciation, but
said they couldn't. l asked why.
" Well, you see, we must catch our
steamer, one Of the visitors explained.
We go from here to New York direct
and sail for home Immediately We
viii visit no other section of the
United States.
in foreign countries the principal
features Of Yellowstone park are treat
ed at length in the school textbooks.
Here in our own country less attention
seems to be given the great Wonder
land than in countries where it would
hardly be expected the subject would
be considered Of Sufficient Importance
to become a feature of school educa-
ton.
This accounts in a measure for the
interest Of foreigners in the Yellow
stone park. They come annually in
large numbers to visit it and return
enthusiastic over its beauty. phenom-
ena and natural glories. And every
visitor returning home seems to send
a friend the f0l1ot-fnr wear
1T is curious fact. but the records
prove It. that hundreds Of these visi-
tors from afar travel three-quarters Of
the way across our country and back
again TO the Atlantic seaboard and see
practically nothing but New York city
and Yellowstone park Whatever addi- {
tional Information they CLEAN must be
obtained from the car windows ep

GIRLS, WEDDING CLUBS.
Proving Very Successful in Their
Purpose in Pennsylvania
Towns.

Wedding clubs have of late been
found among the working girls Of a
number of Pennsylvania manufactur-
Ing towns One Of these girls de-
scribed wedding club recently, ac-
cording to the Baltimore Herald.
"a wedding club" she said, lis built
on the plan Of watch club. All the
members pay in SO much a week, and
each member, when she comes to get
married, is entitled to draw out of the
treasury enough to give her a grand
send-off. She has fine, magnificent
wedding, and at the same time no
scrimping is needed no borrowing, and
no running into debt.
ITO belong to a wedding club you
have only to be unmarried and of good
character. Your weekly dues run from
dive cents up to 80 cents-you can
pay in according to your means-and,
Of course, when you draw out for
your wedding, what you get is regu-
lated by what you put in. I mean by
that, that girl who has been put
ting in so cents week will draw
out for her wedding ten times more
money than a girl who has only
been putting in five cents a week. Of
course, that stands to reason.
Our club has 30 members. It has
been running two years, and seven
girls have got married out of it.
"Oen girl-she was broad loom
weaver--had a s1OO wedding. Her
dress was ivory satin trimmed with
yalenciennes lace. Her trousseau was
as fine as eye could wish to see. There
was a reception at her home, with
fried oysters and chicken salad. and
lobster outlets. Why, she even paid
half the expenses of the honeymoon;
and lovely honeymoon it was, too

Awful Suffering Of Baby and
SIeepIeSS Nights Of
Mother.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Skin Fair as a Lily with no Scar

Writes Mother.

"I herewith write out in full the be-
ginning and end Of that terrible disease
eczema, says Mrs. Vim. Ryer, Elk
River, MINI, (which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. My babe was born
seemingly a fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old a swell
ing appeared on the back Of her head,
and in course Of time broke. 1t did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size Of dime to that
of a dollar. l used all kinds of rene
dies that could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and 1 feared it would never grow again.
Itcontinued until my aged father came
on a visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
ITO please him I did so, and to my
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over It, and
to-day she has a nice head of hair, her
skin IS as fair as a lily, and she has no
scar left to recall that awful sore, and
it is over eight months and no sign of
its returning"

4 Simple Remedy For AcquIreIng
Hard rIuscIes and a sound Body.

Hard ruscles and Sound Body.
A number u bore gun when loaded
with three drains Of powder will send
load Of shot futher and shoot harder
than if double this amount Of powder
is used. If too much powder is used
all Of it will not explode until it leaves
the muzzle Of the gun. That portion
which does not explode at the proper
time interferes with the direction and
checks the velocity Of the shot.
Hard muscles and a strong body do
not depend on the quantity Of food,
but on its perfect digestion and proper
assimilation.
If the nutrient proprieties OF all Of
the food that may be eaten are appro-
priated py the blood and tissues, the
muscles Of the body will grow harder
and stronger, wheather you eat much
or little
You may be well, but not strong.
What you want is strength, physical
force.
You do not need to be sick to need
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
Thousands Of men and millions Of
women have need for just what Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure will do for them.
A little Kodol after meals will enable
the stomach and digestive organs to
digest and assimilate every atom Of
all Of the wholesome food that may be
eaten. It will do more.
It will enable the stomach to extract
from the food all its nutrient proper
ties and contribute the same to the
blood.
1t will enable the blood to circulate
freely and deposit fun quota Of this
tissue-building and strengthening
material into every nook. corner, mus
Gle and fibre Of your whole being.
The result is perfect strength. And
perfect health.
Disease cannot lay hold on the man

thus fortified. Recommended by the
