For an hour Grover sat and pondered
the situation, and at last, without hav-
ing arrived at satisfactory solution,
he went out in the hope that the fresh
air might stimulate his faculties to
some plan Of escape.
So engrossed was he with his
thoughts that he did not realize how
far he had walked until, with a start.
he found himself several miles from
home and in a most unsavory quarter
OF the city. He turned to retrace his
steps, and in an endeavor to reach q
car quickly he took short cut through
an alley.
Halfway down the block he heard
footsteps behind him and turned to con-
front a burly ruffian with leveled re-
volver in his hand. With spring that
had gained many five yards on th'
gridiron, Grover sprang on him, and IL

Many curious stories of the healing
Of blindness and diseases by gems are
to be found in ancient works, and 1t IL
said that the Emperor Theodosius was
cured of blindness by stone Of great
brilliancy which was laid on his eyes.
What this stone was history unfortu-
nately does not say. The diamond,
ruby, emerald and opal were supposed
to warn the owner of danger by chang
ing color. Pllny says Of the diamond
that 1t is not only an antidote to pol
son, but that it has the power to free
the mind from vain fears and to give
bravery. Worn in the ephod Of the
high priest it determined innocence or
guilt and was used to detect accused
persons. This gem is dedicated to
April, and, worn by those born in that
month, is lucky.-Myerson's Magazine.

The Adirond.ck L.k...

One of the most striking phenomena
OF the Adirondack region is the carry
Ing power of the human voice in still,
weather upon the lakes great and
small. Persons ashore easily hear the
ordinary conversation Of others who
are SO far out upon the lake as to be
indistinguishable, and as a great many
Adirondack visitors habitually violate
the law touching the slaughter of deer
all such offenders are extremely care
full not even to whisper a word that
might betray their guilt when rowing
upon the lakes.

that Mrs. Carlyle had dog which she

gone to Mississippi in the early part

ed Mr.. Henkels i'll health for the
past three years.
Mr.. Henkel was among the old
timers of Trego county. He engaged
successfully n the real estate business,
and also served several terms in the
capacity of Register of Deeds. He
was engaged in farming at one time,
but sold out and moved to Wa-Keeney.
where he purchased the Sims prop
erty and fitted it up for home where
he resided until the time of his death.
Mr.. Henkel had Il wide acquaintance
throughout Trego county, and has
many friends who will miss him and

feature of the meeting was the music
furnished by Wa-Keeney ladies and

Salina or Topeka. The talking was
