 Just at this moment Mrs. Willfronto heard his voice and ran to meet him.
 Thank God, Brantley, you have come home at last!" and she clasped him in her arms.
 Father, I came home to bring you this, which is another proof of my in- nocence," and Brantley handed his father a packet Read it." Seating himself on the divan, he drew his moth- CT beside him. Major Willfronte broke the seal of the packet and read:
 Major Willfronte:
 Dear Sir-You will no doubt re- call me and the day on which you dis charged me. Well, that day swore to have revenge, and have had it. I'm ee days before I was discharged I took Mrs. Willfrontes jewel case, and when it was missed l tried to lay the blame on Uncle Nap; but he denied it so em- phatically that I lashed him, and when you interfered I swore to be revenged. I bided my time, and when the war was over 1 fixed 1t up with Rex to per suade Brantley to go West; then l clr- culated the report that Brantley had deserted and was ashamed to come home. knew this would hurt you more than anything else could. An other statement is, that one day while digging up the old rotten cypress tree my spade struck something hard. l dug 1t up and it proved to be an iron box filled with Enhish money. l put the jewels m, and sank 1t in the river; you will find it by the bend at the old storehouse. l also had skln which was found in theN box on which was written that the box belonged to an Englishman by the name of New, who had buried lt III 1912. He had come over in Welsh vessel. which had at some time or other come to the coast of Virginia; thls statement also read; that the box can tained sixty thousand English pounds The man had evidently buried the mon ey for his future use. but he must have been killed by the Indians.
 1T would have never confessed tnls to you but Brantley met me out West was ill. and he was kind to me. hate you just as much as l ever did I had planned to come back and get the money. and kill you. but fate has me now. I am dying fast l will not live more than day or two. This is my dying testimony; the money be- longs to no one, so Brantley may as well reap the benefit of it.
 Your former overseer.
 rJ c. Scooperly."
 Mrs. Willfronte jumped to her feet and put her arms about her husbands neck Just to think. he s2i5 !.5 --oG---- kill your
 Rrantley laughed, He was not all bad mother Before he died he said he did not intend to kill father He ana 'eousluas lBQl pa5uBqo 9ABq pIuoM .e was too weak to write so asked me to tell you for him"
 l The news of BrantIey's return spread | quickly. and also the report about the money which in a few oays was known as a positive fact When Brantley with the help of his two brothers raised the old box out of the river. All the neighbors rejoiced heartily at the good luck which had come to the Major.
 Two weeks afterward Mabel and Brantley were quietly married in the little white church on the side of the hill. Brantley went to Cuba to settle his affairs. and then returned to dwell in the home which he had saved.

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, H., says: q have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satis- factory"
 Dr. William Belmont, of Cleve- land,, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in it's class. In my thirty years of practice Lean say l never have found anything that so filled the place"
 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit; Mich., says: 'I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as l have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are limitations in the, field, but always see that my patients get Fletcher's."
 Dr. Charming H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is great consideration in view of the fact that most medicines of this character are obnoxious and there fore difficult of administration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything that ever prescribed"

Success of the Tactful Girl.

There is no knowing what tacttul girl can accomplish. She is usually successful in the home, in society and business. besides a welcome comfort CT in times of trouble, and one who can enter heartily into another's hap piness. ....
 To be tactful one must be utterly free from self consciousness and try to think sonly of the requirements of others.
 "A ready listener is always welcome in all grades of society, and the tact full girl will patiently listen to the woes and ills of other people without letting them see how uninteresting they are to her or in return, repeating her own troubles.
 What good can 1t do any one to dt- vulce a family secret or failing? A tactful girl will find no interest in this kind of conversation and will in- troduce a more pleasing topic. She can always keep a quiet tongue in her head when necessary and will hesitate to spread unkind gossip
 When in the company of the oppo- sito scv T girl will show her tactful reys hy the interest which she takes In the likes and dislikes of her com panion.
 The person who seems to delight in rereatlug mean and unlSind gossip is not likely tO become a favorito with any ore but a welcome will always be found for those who know how to take an interest in others concerns and tc keep their own troubles to themselves thereby exercising tact.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-12-16

Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. IR, says: "I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family"
 Dr Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thir- teen children 1 certainly know some thing about your great medicine and aside from my own family experi- cnce, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular and effi- cient remedy in almost every home"
 nr. Howard James, of New York City, says: 'It is with great pleasure that desire to testify to the medici- nal virtue of your Castoria. I have used it with ma O l benefit in the case of my own daughter, and have obtained excellent results from its administration to other children in my practice"
 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa, says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical pro- fession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excel lent remedy"

 Dr. F. H. Kyle, of St. Paul, Minn., says: f'It affords me pleasure to add my name to the long list of those who have used and now en- dorse your Castoria. The fact of the ingredients being known through the printing of the formula on the wrapper is one good and sufficient reason for the recommendation of any physician. I know of itsl good qualities and recommend it cheer fully"

 Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo-, says: Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepara- tions, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Cas- toria in my practice because l have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Casto- ria"
