Wedding Is Postponed.

Her trousseau was all prepared, the
preparations made, the negroes all ex-
cited over the coming marriage Of
missile" Liza, but the girl refused, and
the wedding was postponed.
No definite date was set then, as she
promised to marry him as soon as he
found the minister.
Pickens then SEM an appeal to the
officers of every church organization in
the country asking for information. He
advertised again. Finally he learned
that a Rev. Mr.. Miley had served as a
missionary in India and then had been
sent to Africa.
Whether it is the same minister or not
PickenS could not learn. He had, &C
cording to the church authorities, in
herited quite a sum of money and had
volunteered for the work, paying his
own expenses and acting as a sort of free
lance missionary.
Pickens cabled American and English
consuls, wrote to resident missionaries,
tried in every means to get into COM
munication with his man, or the one he
supposed to be his man, but never could
hear directly. He finally learned that
the minister was among the natives in
the French Congo region.
Now he is preparing to start for the
Congo. But there are those who declare
Miss Hinshaw is beginning to waver,
and that she will decide at the last min
ute that any minister will do.

who knew and liked the handsome sor
of his old friend.
About a year ago the young lover
asked his fiancee to set the date. And
right there the trouble commenced. She
consented to be married on May IL, but
stipulated that Rev. Mr.. Miley must per-
form the ceremony. Pickens, who did
not care who performed the ceremony,
%laughingly asked why she wanted that
particular minister instead of the home
preacher. And she told him the story
of her mothers romance and Of the
childish vow she had made that she
would be married by the same man.
So he told her that he would make the
arrangement.
"By the way" he said, where does
Mr.. Miley live?"
Il don't know. | thought or
that" replied the girl. He lived over
at Crowley then"
"I1l drive over to Crowley tomorrow
and find him." said the lover.
Begin Search for Minister.
That was the beginning of the world
search for the missing minister. Pick
n went to Crowley and found that
the minister had moved away from
there IS years ago, less than a year after
he performed the ceremony. He hunted
among the old inhabitants until he
found II who remembered that Mlley
had gone down somewhere near Spar
tanburg, S. c., to preach. Pickens vent
there and learned that the church had
sent Miley as a missionary minister into
the hill country of the western end Of
the state.
By that time it was April, and the date
set for the wedding was approaching
rapidly. Pickens wrote, appealing to
the church authorities to give him somo
trace of the man.
The latest record they had Of him
was 1896, when an entry in the books
showed that he had resigned a charge
nea Murphy, and no further trace Of
him was found.
Pickens hurried to Murphy. Tho
parishiOners remembered that Rev. Mr..
Miley had been offered a missionary pt-
sition-they thought in some northern
State-and had accepted. Then Pickens,
getting panic stricken, placed adver-
tisements in scores of newspapers, ask
ing for information regarding the min
lister.
The advertisements brought results.
He found four ministers named j. w.
Miley and nine ministers named Miley
whose first names were not definite. The
week before the date set for the wedding
he received a telegram saying that the
man he sought was preaching near Bel
fast, o. He wrote and telegraphed, hop
ing to the last minute that he might be
able to get the minister there, and then
received a reply from the Belfast Miley
stating that he never had lived in the
south at all, but would be proud and glad
to come on and perform the ceremony.
For a time Pickens hesitated whether
or not to bring on the Belfast minister
and pass him off as the Miley who was
wanted. Then, realizing that discovery
of such a trick might wreck the life hap
piness of both, he abandoned the idea,
and, going to Miss Hinshaw, he pleaded
with her to give up her plan, and to let
the home minister perform the cere-
mOny.

ems came accounting. He had grown up
on the %neighboring plantation, but in
the fox hunting, the riding, the shoot

Charlottesville he had paid but little at
tention to Miss Hinshaw, or, indeed, to
any other girl. She had seen him when
he came home at vacation times attired
in his gray uniform, with the quadrnpls
rows of brass buttons, and had fallen in
love with the uniform. So when they
met it was a lease" from the first, and
they we're engaged before he went bacl,

the assumption that it can feel

that shame is not likely to trouble

WHAT The KIDNEYS DO
Their Unoeasing Work Keeps Us
Strong And Healthy.

All the blood in the body pass through
the kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys filter the blood. They
work night and day. When healty they
remove about 800 grains of impure mat
ter daily, when unhealthy some part of
this impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in the back, headache,
ner vousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the eye
sight aud hearing, dizziness, irregular
heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, de-
posits in the urine, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
j. 6. Roe, grocer, of Longview, Tex,
says: II certainly believe Doan's Kid
ney Pills to be an excellent remedy for
kidney troubles. Having been troubled
very much with scanty painful passages
of the kidney secretions and fntiama-
ton and soreness of the bladder, went
to drug store when saw Doan's Kid
ney Pills advertised, and began using
them. One box gave me more satisfac-
ZION and relief than all the other medi-
cines | had used, and there were a good
may of them"
