"Run away and nowhere to be

young man. 1--WE told you bad news
enough, but there's more, and you
ought to know it all. Louis Leblanc is
in Quebec, and he says that a clock
tinker lent him money with which to
leave the States"

fortnight an was in sore distress, but
he ran away, an l got no word O. him."
"Well, the inference is that you, be-
Ing friend of the accused, were try
ing to help him."
"I'm caught in a Web" said Trove,
leaning forward, his head. upon his
hands, "and Leblancs wife is the spi-
der. How about the money? Have
they been able to identify it?"
"In part, yes. There's one bill that
puzzles them. It's that of an old bank
In New York city that failed years ago
and went out of business"
Then amoment of silence and that
sound of the clocks, like footsteps of a
passing caravan, some slow and heavy,
some quick, as If impatient to be gone.

as he crossed to the bench. "Still thy

Then he walked up and down, think

The friend of Sidney Trove put on
his hat and stood by the door.
Don't forget" said he; 'you have
many friends or should not be able
to tell you these things. Keep them to
yourself and go to work. OF course
you will be able to prove your inno-
cence."

Trove.
"Aye; twas friendly" the old man
remarked, taking the boys hand.

alone.

"Were We drowning We might as well
lay hold of straw. Trust in thy hon.

Lets go and see Polly" said the
young man.
"Aye, she o. the sweet heart" said
the tinker. "We'll go at once"
They left the shop, and on every
street they travelled there were groups
of men gossiping. Some nodded, others
turned away, as the two passed. Dick
Roberts met them at. the door of the
house where Polly boarded.
II wish to see Miss Vaughn" said
Trove coolly.
"She is ill.," said Roberts.
"Could / not see her for q moment?"
Trove inquired.
"No."
sis she very sick?"
"Very."
Darrell came close to Roberts. He
looked sternly at the young man.
"Boy," said he, with great dignity,
his long forefnger raised, within a
day We shall be clothed with shame"
"They were strange words" Trove
thought, as they walked away in 81
lence, and when they had come to the
little shop it was growing dusk.
"What have done to bring this up
on me and my friendsT said Trove,
sinking into chair.

WHY SO WEAK,
Kidney Troubles May be Sapping

Have Learned THIS Fact

When healthy man or woman begins
to run down without apparent cause,
becomes weak, languid. depressed,
suffers backache, headache, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders, look to the kid
neys for the cause of it all. Keep the
kidneys we'll and they will keep you
we'll. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and keep them we'll Here is
Owosso testimony to prove it.
Mrs. N. Harris, of 20s Cedar street,
says: During eight or ten years /
suffered great deal from my kidneys,
and at times was so back 1 could
scarcely keep around the house. The
pain through my back and loins made
it almost impossible for me to stoop or
exert myself and was troubled great
deal with headache and spells of dizzi-
ness could not sleep well and always
felt tired and exhausted mornings.
The secretions from the kidneys became
irregular, distressing and annoying and
deposited heavy sediment. During
the early part of the winter of 1897
had severe attack and seeing Doan {
Kidney Pills advertised to cure such
troubles, l sent to Johnson's drug store

now in debt to the doctor. He
needed money also for cloth

been discussing.
"T'll give you $500 for the mare"

Trove sat In thoughtful silence, and
presently Allen went out of doors.
The woman got her savings and
brought them to her son.

THE RULING Is UNJUST
CONGRESSMAN cRUMPACkER

palladium Special.1


Indianapolis, May 21.-Representa-
gressional delegation has arranged to
go before the house committee on
judiciary to make an argument in sup
port of his bill giving persons and
firms against whom fraud orders are
issued by the postoffice department
the right of appeal to the United
States courts.
The Case of Kitty Smith.
The congressman intends to tell the
committee about the case of Kitty
Smith at South Whitley, Ind, the
facts of which never have crept into
print. When Kitty was a tiny, mother
less girl she was left alone one day.
She fell on stove and her arms up
to the elbows were burned into a
crisp. Both arms were amputated.
Her father was addicted to strong
drink. He was arrested and charged
with criminal negligence, but was ac-
quilted and died not long afterward.
Little Orphan Kitty, an object of
inexpressible pity, was then cared for
by good people. After time she was
sent to an orphan asylum in Chicago.
Naturally bright, she acquired knowl-
edge rapidly and it is marvellous how
many things she learned to do.
In lieu of hands she used her toes.
She can adjust her eyeglasses with
her toes and combs her hair by hold
ing the comb between her toes. With
her toes she can do exquisite needle
work, each and a thousand and one
other things.
Filled With Ambition.
Kitty has now grown to woman
hood and Representative Crumpacker
says she is the very personification
of ambition. She has a great and
consuming desire to raise herself
above want and dependence upon
others. Her earnings from her needle
and her pen have been small but she
thought she saw an opportunity to get
something ahead for dark and rainy
day, so she wrote the story of her life
and told in it what she had learned
to do with her toes. She had photo
graphs taken showing how she does
these various things. Then she en-.
tered into a straight and square bust
ness deal with a publisher whereby
he agreed to publish her story in pam
plet form and furnish all of the mat
erials, receiving as his share one half
of the proceeds of the sale of the
book, which was to retail for twenty

THE cITY'S LIGHT PLANT.

No person whose mind is unbiased
and who believes that everything and
everybody is deserving of a fair trial,
can read the report of the special
electric light committee and the
statement of the city light plants fl
nances, by Mr.. McMahan, without ad-
hitting that the city has too good a
thing to part with even though the
consideration offered be most fiat
tering and tempting.
The committee entrusted with the
very important duty of investigating
the conditions of the light depart
ment of the city government perform
ed it's work well. BY this the Palla-
dunn does not mean that the work
was well done because, the report ia

1t bears every evidence of being care
fully done and of probing every ave-
nue. that could possibly lead to some
obscure information concerning the
condition of the city light plant,
physically and financially The re-
port, almost In its entirety, will be
found elsewhere in the Palladium,
and here 1t may be summed up by re-
ferring simply to the closing para.
graphs which recommend the reten-
ton of the plant and which point out
the dangers that always underlie a
complicated transaction such as the
transfer of the light plant would be
under existing conditions.
Mr.. McMahan's report, or rather
his financial review of the Tight de,
partment of the city shows that even
with most liberal allowance for de.
probation of the property, there has
been a steady and healthy growth in
the lighting business as carried on by
the city of Richmond Not only that
but Mr.. McMahan's report points oui
that the cost OF street lighting has
been decreasing from the time the
city took control. The cost for the

THE FIRST SPECTACLES.
They Were Made In italy I'm the
Thirteenth Century.

Thirteenth Century.
Spectacles were invented late in the
thirteenth century. The use Of glass
to aid the sight Of defective eyes Is,
however, much older. Nero looked
through a concave glass in watching
the gladiatorial games, and many other
historical men Of his day were depend
ent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight
Till the latter part Of the thirteenth
century only the single glass was in
use. In 1890 the double glass was in
vented, and in the fourteenth century
spectacles were used quite frequently
by the very wealthy and high born, al
though they were still so scarce that
they were bequeathed in will with all
the elaborate care that marked the dis
position Of q feudal estate. The first
spectacles were made in Italy.
Somewhat later the manufacture of
cheaper glasses sprang up in Holland,
and it spread late in the fourteenth
century to Germany, Nuremberg and
Rathenow acquired fame for their
glasses between 1890 and 1900.
For many years glasses were used
only as a means Of aiding bad eyes, un
til the fashion Of wearing merely fol
the sake of wearing them sprang up in
Spain. It spread rapidly to the rest OF
the continent and brought about the
transformation Of the old thirteenth
century spectacles into eyeglasses and
eventually into the monocle.

The bill which Senator Beveridge

greatly increase the powers of the fed

houses, ought to be one Of the most
popular measures from the peoples
standpoint, laid before the Senate this
session. Among other things the
bill will provide for sufficient inspec-
tors to see that the meat sent out
from the packing houses is not made
from dead or diseased animals. An
old adage states that mo man is

ment should make it impossible for
