GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.

For about three years had been

CHAPTER ".

CHAPTER v.
A few weeks passed in monotony at
the fort-a monotony wherein was
much time for futile planning and idle
speculation.
The novelty of the situation and the
natural effervescence of her spirits
made Lavender gay and light-hearted
in spite of the anxious waiting. But
to her mother it was irksome; period
Of unrest, and carling care. Her
health, too, showed signs of decline,
and she felt already the unwholesome
breath of the swamp land.
For Winslow, the days dragged in a
way that required all his philosophy
to bear. Ordinarily, quiet, even dull
ness, appealed to his student nature.
But for this Burr expedition he had
nerved himself to point of unwonted
energy; had summoned all his forcen
against the time for telling work-foi
endurance. And all for what? For a
time of idle waiting-of inaction by
the chimney corner of stranger! He

ETY.; the officers of the garrison showed
her much attention, and in their favor
he obscured himself. His attitude was
that of the guide, the elder brother,
and bore no trace of the warmer ad
miration openly avowed by the others.
The maid herself had no part in this
arrangement, and if in her heart she
wished it otherwise, she acknowledged
the weakness to none.
Early in February there came I'M
pleasant news to the fort. The Burr
expedition was not success-some-
thing had happened, but definite facts
could not be ascertained
Winslow was in fever of anxiety
and suspense. Ugly rumors were cir
culated; there was talk Of treachery
to the government. Traitor" and
Conspiracy" reached his ears from
time to time. To Winslow's inquiries
the commander responded that he had
received no positive information, but
believed the boats, with their men,
and even the chief himself, had been
detained in the south. Probably but
a temporary check" he concluded,
suavely. For Winslow's connection
with the affair was well known, and
the colonel's words were meant to
spare his feelings. But Winslow left
his presence with pang of anxiety all
the sharper thai his fears were half
formed. He could only console himself
with the reflection that, whatever had
occurred was doubtless such an ordeal

marked their course-the river was
shrouded in q mist that seemed to rise
from the underworld.
they turned to seek shelter within
doors, when suddenly Lavender asked:
"Who is that sitting over there? and
she pointed to where. on fallen tree,
by the rivers brink, sat woman-her
back toward them. Angular shoulders
enveloped in blanket shawl and q
head swathed in red bandana kerr
chief, like bloody bandage, were out
lined against the gray walls of the fort
The head turned at Lavender's eX-
clamation, and white eyeballs, and
winter teeth, shone from an ebony
frame, as the woman rose and ap-
preached slowly. Good ebenin' t
y'all," America said calmly, and in re-
ply to their startled questioning she
explained:
"Yo see, it wuz dis away. Missy
lowed she warn't gwine ter had VII
a-toilin' and a-moiling' 'thout no wom-
an ter hep"
Eyes, but why did you surprise us?
Why slip away SO mysteriously?'
La, chile, massa wouldn't a. giben
me up, so at de las minute missy done
sem me. She say she'll fin plenty
niggahs whar she's gwine."
"How could you slip off without be-
ing SEEM"
America gave an unctuous chuckle.
"Fore God, done kunj'd dat no count
niggah on de gang plank. 'Fo he hist
it, up n shuk rabbit foot in he
face, and kin O. mum'led some hoodoo
talk. He teef rattle like bones, and |
run by 'thouten word. OATS me

And thus, a second time, America
had her way.

Has Been Buried for Centuries.

The body of young woman has
been discovered in the ancient Priddy
lead mines in Somersetshire, Eng
land, some 16 or II feet deep In the
waterbone slit that has been accumu-
lating since the days before the Ro-
mans came. The hair is wonderfully
preserved, and remains in the plat.
in which it was worked. Beside the
body were found five large blue and
green glass beads.

Money for remperanee Cause.

The cause OF temperance in England
should get big boom. A merchant Of
London who recently died left a will
in which he bequeathed s1,250.000 to
be spent for the promotion of tenn
perance. To be sure. that is an insig-
nificant sum compared with the
amount spent for intoxicants, but it
should go a great way toward provid.
ing effective arguments in favor of b

TORNADO IN MINNESOTA.
Away and Sucked All the
Water from a Stream.

St. Paul, Mimi. - A tornado about
S o'clock Wednesday afternoon did
great damage to property, killed one
man and injured many others in the
vicinity of Wyoming and North
Branch, small towns about fifteen
miles north of here. 1t is feared that
other lives may have been lost.
The storm seems to have formed
near Lindstrom, Mimi. and swept in
a northeasterly direction. cutting a
path about 500 yards wide for dis
lance of IS miles
Everything in its pathway was laid
bare, even the grass being cut as
though moved with a scythe. Ben
Legoo and three men were in the direct
path of the storm and took refuge I'M
der bridge crossing small stream,
where the water was three feet deep.
The wind took the bridge from over
their heads, sucked all of the water
out of the stream. leaving the bed per-
fectly dry. Ali four of the men were
hurt, but none fatally.
All the buildings on the farm of a
man named Magnusson were RACED,
but he and his family escaped injury
by taking refuge in the root cellar
The Engdahl residence on Pine is
land, three miles from North Branch
was destroyed and Mr.. Engdahl, ST.,
is reported dead The other members
escaped without serious injuries.
At Wyoming much damage was done,
small buildings being RACED and larger
ones moved from their foundations.
The house and barn of Henry Funk
was completely destroyed and his wife
and son severely injured. Mrs. Funk
had her 15-months-old babe in her
arms when the storm came up and
though she tried to cling to 1t, it was
blown away. later it was found some
distance away unf1urt, but without a
stitch of clothing on it.
At Linwood the Laduke stock farm
buildings were destroyed and much
valuable machinery damaged.

ODD EATING CUSTOMS.

Brazilians never eat when they
drink, nor drink when they eat; and
the Tartars continually persist in pull
ing guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur
tains about them, so that none Of
their fellowmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show a mark
of great esteem, the negroes of Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time, and the King of Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
a meal alone. Whenever a Filipino
finds himself without a companion
with whom to share his meal, he will
abstain from eating until he has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in KAN
chtaka, where a man who wishes to
entertain guest invites him into a
cabin, which is heated to an excessive
temperature, and then presses him
with food until he is in a state of tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians. though a naturally
sociable race, dine separately. Even
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own food-basket. They take
their places about five yards apart,
and then, turning their backs to each
other, dine amid a profound silence

FENCES FOR THE INDIANS.
tIemen Went to the Tribes
When Leases Expired.

Law ton, Okla. - All improve
ments on land leased by cattlemen
from the Kiowa and Comanche In
dams in Southwestern Oklahoma be-
came the property of the tribes when
the leases expired. 1t is estimated
that the value of improvements lately
divided among these Indians was $685.
600. 1t consisted of barbed wire
fence posts, houses, barns, etc. Four
wires were used in the fences which
had an aggregate length of $50 miles.
making close to 1000 miles of wire
None of the houses was costly, but
all were permanent.
The Indian agent a few months ago
ordered the fences removed and the
wire divided among the Indians. The
Indians went in a body and each re-
ceived his pro rata share. This was
the first distribution of property re-
verting to the Indians ever made In
this section of the country and it
marked the close of the biggest series
Of leasing contracts the cattlemen
ever had with the Indians.

DIETARY DICTA.

Dinner should be of lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
A quart of wheat contains more nu-
triment than a bushel of cucumbers.
There is happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamisb
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as Is pounds of
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have, the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assinilating
a hearty meal. L

THE cADDYs COMMENT.
One That Was Not Very Compliment
tary to Professional
Player.

Walter ]. Travis, the golfer, set up
his ball, and then made half dozen
swishes at the short grass with the
driver, relates the New York Tribune.
Il am not in good FORM" he said, II
am playing like a broker we had here
last week.
This broker played once around,
making a dreadful exhibition of him
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took fancy to him. And
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:
81 have been travelling for the last
six months. l am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why 1 am in such bad
form to-day
1.-The caddy replied, calmly.
Then we've played before, have
we. sir?'"

democratic state convention convened
here Tuesday for the nomination OF

It's the business of the kidneys to

times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of rem
