 Meanwhile he was writing regularly to and receiving letters regularly from his sweetheart in Germany. He told her that he should send for her as soon as he should settle down and be. come able to support her and himself in comfort.
 On coming to this state he began prospecting for gold, and within a year he struck rich lead. Thereupon he dispatched letter to his sweetheart, begging her to come to him at once.
 She answered his letter, saying that because of the illness of her mother she could not leave her home. A few weeks later he received another letter from her. saying that her mother was better but that for other reasons she could not then come to the United States to join bim. Apparently realiz. ing finally that his sweetheart did not intend to join him. Overhardt ceased writing to her and abandoned hope.
 He disposed of his mine several months after he received his last let. ter from his sweetheart and, coming to this region built the little cabin on the mountainside. in which he spent the rest of his miserable life. It Is believed that in his loneliness and his grief his mind finally became de- ranged and that was responsible for his eccentric habits. What became of the fortune which the old man real. ized from the sale of his gold mine Is a mystery.

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord. nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia. gout. headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine. u
 When you first feel pain in the small wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine. cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.

The persuasion took form that thel rich and elderly Mrs. Tennant was not accustomed to. It astounded and grat- flied her happy-go-lucky husband to see the way in which she quailed be- fore Jimmy's wrath. The latter walked straight into her .palatial suite and thrust some old and frayed letters be- fore her eyes.
 You have some of my correspond ence in your possession" he said. with an intensity of passion that cowed her instantly. They Gre letters written to me by a Miss Elsie Staplet0n. You will recognize her handwriting. Will you give them to me quietly, or must take them by force?"

 Do you hear, woman?" growled Jimmy. Your miserable jealousy has entangled. perhaps wrecked, the hap piness of two people who never imag- ined that such a creature as you could come between them. Give me my iet- ters. or by the bones of your martyred first husband, 1 will-"
 That was enough. She produced a crumpled packet from the bosom of her dress. Without word of apology or further comment, Jimmy stood where he was and read the blurred lines, for the lady had wept hot tears over them, ard the paper was almost in tatters. The silly mistake which might yet have tragic ending was quickly revealed. Elsie had indeed seen in a newspaper an account of the marriage, and her lovers pro- longed silence at that unhappy junc- ture forced her to the conclusion that he had tilted her. Her last little note of farewell wrung his heart in agony.
 It was long and difficult search for ten days. Jimmy's chief difficulty was that the only persons who knew the Stapletons' whereabouts regarded him as an unprincipled scoundrel, and re- fused to see him. Then he found the girls aunt, and the woman knew that this story was true. She told him that Elsie, who had been near to death, was slowly recovering her health in Florida.
 He went there by the next steam CT, and with him travelled Mir. and Mrs. Tennant-the latter most unwill- ingly, but snamed now into subjec- ton to her lord and master. With a soldiers strategy the leader of mount ed infantry first captured Elsie's fa- ther and made him listen to reason. Then 1t was thought advisable that the dame should be forced to go and tell her story to Elsie, and thus prepare her for the coming of her lover.
 She played her part honestly. but with whimpers. She happened, too, to hear what Elsie said when Jimmy took her in his arms.

Had he stayed home and gone to bed at an early hour the entire family would have been as- phyxiated. The moral is plain.
