SAGE LEAVES

BURB.

Brent, Feb. 1S-Another cham.
pion week has terminated in the
restoration of normal conditions.
After the suns apparent withdraw.
al from Southern skies, and floods of
icy water threatened to deluge the
earth, we have experienced the cold
est term of the winter, and the lowest
minimum in several years.
1t scored IA degrees on the morning
of the 14th inst, after having been
above 20 degrees on the 18TH This
being coupled with a northern 'hurri-
cane" has paralized our winter gar
dens. Jack Frost has gotten away
with more green's than the combined
forces of midnight raiders had previ-
Ously captpred.
Such a visitation as this in the
Land of Flowers" means an incalcul-
able aggregate loss. Sixteen degrees
at Jacksonville tells a long tale of
blighted hopes in withered vegetable
life. The previous cold rains haG
been very damaging-rendering the
crops for the freeze to finish.
Our farmers have dropped the plow
and gone to cutting wood.
The readers of The Journal find
some entertainment in the Bliss-full
portrayal of "corruptive" water works.

Our Brent school has steemed
through the trying waves" of the
past week of grippy weather.
At the NJ. E. church there will be
services on the third Sabbath of each
month. The new pastor, Rev. ]. w.
Breedlove, appears to give good sat
isfaction. If he tells us half our mean
ness and shortcomings and goings he
will fill the pulpit well.
The quarterly conference will be
held at the Escambia church on Fri
day. the gath inst, where Elder w. H.

will represent the Brent church at the
conference.

this, his adventures evincing most
daring nature and great nerve and de-
termination. Granted he had fed to
Grovedale to evade pursuit, disguised
himself TO appear as slightly dement,
ed and as common workman, II was
not too much to believe of such man
that he had become infatuated with
Mrs Hamilton and sought to claim
her as his wife, basing his actions on
her attitude toward her returned nus
band and his slight resemblance to
the latter Then, too, the shot fired
on Mr. Hamlton's premises might
well have been done by his own hand
to evidence his own assertion that the
design was to get rid of him and his
claims, which would suggest that
Hamilton did it himself.
DR.. Peck was no lawyer, nor did he
reckon himself particularly astute,
but as he sat there facts and deduc-
lions evolved themselves with start
ling force and rapidity, mingling and
commingling in the widest confusion
until his brain seemed bursting.
Strange how dormant ideas start into
being and range themselves side by
side to do battle for or against start
ling assertion. A luminous path seem
ed open to his vision, leading straight
TO the time when Vane Hamilton left
home in the first place, and he saw
clearly the long line of events since
then down to this strange declaration
Just made to him. Back of it all was
deep, dark mystery. Villainy was
there, sorrow could not be far distant,
and for every one concerned in the
matter there would be suspense mad
dening and extreme.
Indignation arose in his heart to-
ward the man before him. 1t became
in an instant too deep for expression,
and he arose without speaking an
other word and left the house.

Eyes, it may as we'll be now as

Edes entered and confronted the
two men, He held out his hand to Mr.
Garter who, however, did not appear
to see it.
VERY well, uncle. You will see
your act in its true light some day, y
said the former workman with so
much dignity that Mr.. Carter stared
at him.
ooh, come now That's all bosh,
my man"
"Do you think so?" asked Edes,
looking full in the face Of the other
man.
Il do; but am willing to hear any
thing you have to say in support of
your claim, for, own, | am curious
to understand it,"

81 prove that he did not! You are
that brother and not |. Before our
mother died she asked me to search
for you two weeks of every year. for
she would never believe you dead,
although every one else did. You
were stolen in infancy. She gave me

Everybody in Grovedale knows

CHAPTER xvII.-contlnued.

81 admire no woman but my wife
sir, and as for my interests and char
acter as Primus Edes they are of nc
account to me, any more than the
shell of a caterpillar is to the butter
fly. And now let me tell you some
thing, my good sir. Constance knows
that | am her husband"
Has she said SOP
Not exactly, but she might as well
and furthermore, she has never believ-
ed in this man calling himself by my
name"
Rumors of this sort had come to the
ears of the busy doctor as well as con-
cerring the interest said to exist at
one time between Edes and Mrs Ham
iton; but he had not thought much
about the matter believing it gossip
with little or no foundation in fact.
But now he saw, or fancied he saw,
his mistake. This eager-faced, er-
ergetic man was far different person
than he had supposed him to be. He
was man clearly capable Of making
and supporting claim of nature so
astounding that, improbable as it was,
it could not fail to create wide dis
turbance. If Mrs. Hamilton joined
with him it would be far more seri-
GUS STILL and the results could only
be guessed at, not foreseen.
The hint that he had been shot to
be got out of the way was, or would
be, doubtless, a strong feature in the
mans case, and there were complica-
lions relating to the late bank
troubles which, no doubt. could be
brought TO bear upon it likewise.
Moreover, the man before him. DR..
Peck considered. might be Ashley
himself, who by some strange mistake
was believed to have died. 1t was not
unlikely. In the light of these astound-
ing claims it was very probable. he
thought.
A man such as Ashley was proved
to have been-for the story of his ad-
ventures was well known in Grovedale
was the man, if any such could be
found, to prosecute such claim like

can much easier account for your re-
semblance, for we are twin brothers. F."
Il deny it. | deny that there was
any reason for such search, or that
my mother believed her child to be
alive. Your statements affect me very
little, nor will they any one else. STILL
| must warn you that when you ac-
cuse me of wearing a ring and pos
sessing papers that belong to you, you
are making a serious charge. Your
other claims are too absurd to be
noticed. OF course, | am now speak
ing of Mrs. Hamilton"
IF | were not convinced that you
were my brother | should say DO not
dare TO take that name between your
lips.
The two men were deadly pale now
and their eyes glttered with excite
ment. Mr.. Carter seriously appre
hended trouble. But he need not
have feared. Each was too much en-
gagged in the effort to maintain calm
ness to have a thought of harming
the other.
Il think there is no use in talking
! any more about this matter, Mr.
Edes," said Hamilton.
Don't call me Edes. l will not
deny your name is Hamilton, for |
truly think it is. | believe you are
Victor. l cannot doubt it, Then, in
the name of brotherhood, of our
mothers memory, drop this masquer-
! aiding. these monstrous claims. | will
overlook them all, everything, for her
sake" and he held out his hand, but
the other stepped coldly back and
! said:
Enough! You are either mad, or
you think | am. Irefuse to hear an
other word | am not your brother.
l know nothing about you. Now leave
me, and do not repeat these inquiries,
| warn you"
Il will leave you, but not in quiet
possession of what does not belong
to you. Recollect that l shall not
charge you with attempted murder.
for l hope and trust you are not re-
sponsible for the shot. It restored me
to reason. But shall regain my prop
erty, my family. and my name" and
without another word or look at
either. Edes left the room.
He is as crazy as a loon" said Mr..
Carter.

Without coed health life is not
worth living. Sickly, peevish chill
dren are a source of endless trouble
and anxiety to their parents, yet the
chilorens condition is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
lessness, or both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition 1t is nee
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty OF exer-
else and fresh air Meat is very bad
for children. 1t should be avoided
and food rich in phosphates, such as
Pillsbury's Vitos, should be given in
its place.
This food is truly the meat OF the
wheat" 1t is made by the worlds
greatest milers and it is free from
artificial coloring or adulteration. 1t
is not especially child's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes a wholesome,
substantial breakfast or an appetiz-
ing dessert and can be prepared in
one hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack

of strength-building food l5c. Ask
your grocer about it to-day.

Loo Much for Capt. WlnsIow.

Some years since Seaman Jack
Mackin of the old Kearsarge, which
was lying off Charlestown after long
cruise, was brought before Capt. Win
slow as an absentee of fifty-six hours.
The captain, in admonishing him,
said:
"Mackin. don't you know you are a
fool, sir?'
YES. sir" replied the sailor, 'and
the world is full of them, but being
so long at sea was taken with grow
ing pains on shore in good company,
and If this had been any other ship
I'd a never come back again unless
YOU were captain of her, sir"
Jack got a chance to be good until
shore leave came around again.

TaIesman Able to Try Case Against
an Indian Fairly.


In northern California town a
supposed murder had been committed.
The half-breed wife of an Indian
had died, as the husband said, from
natural causes, and was buried with
out the usual formalities being first
complied with After a lapse of two
weeks the body was disinterred by
the authorities at the instance of a
particular enemy of the accused and
marks of violence, as the informer
had said, were found upon the body.
The prosecuting attorney was ex-
aiming the talesmen to ascertain If
any of them were prejudiced against
Indians.
Talesman Taylor was upon the
stand undergoing a rather stiff cross
examination.
Did an Indian do you or your fam
lily any harm at any timer" asked the
prosecutor.

have dealings or trouble with an In
dian?"

PARALYSIS CURED
Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a
short time ago hopelessly doomed. The
surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in a
personal interview with the recent suf-
ferer.
1.-The doctor" said Mr.. Kenney, told
me that if l wanted to live any length
of time | would have to give up work al
together, and lie told my friends that
the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how We're you afflicted at this
time z" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
"Well, | had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
into it. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at ALL but numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agonizing fortunes came
from headaches and pain i'll the spine.
might after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain Of torturing pains and the
effect of the Opiates l was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS L look back on the
terrible suffering l endured during this
period often wonder how retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when
was induced to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. The very first box
seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
NE entirely well. There can beno doubt
about the thoroughness of my cure, for |
have worked steadily ever siuce and that
is nearly four years
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by
the Merrimac Hat Company and resides
at l0l Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass.
The remedy which he used with such
satisfactory results, is sold by all drug
giSts, or direct by the DR.. Williams

sHREWDNEss OF A cABMAN.
Was Left a Fortune by an Eccentric
Old Lady.

English exchanges tell of young
cabman in Birmingham who attract
ed the notice of an eccentric old lady
because of his resemblance to her
dead son. She bequeathed to him the
bulk of her fortune on condition that
he went to college and did all he could
to become a gentleman. Being quick
and clever, he had no difficulty in ac-
quiring a sufiiciency of Greek and
other learning, but he shrewdly sus-
pected that if he went to either Ok
ford or Cambridge at once he would
not feel at home among his new COM
panions. So, putting pride in his
pocket, he obtained place as scout"
or servant, at one of those seats of
learning and profited so much by
what he saw and observed in this
humble position that when he eventu-
ally proceeded to the other university
as a student he was able to pass
creditably.
