 Like panther with his teeth pull ed." said . woman who stood by thG counter buying 2 spool of thread "Ain't you heard how they made upr'
 Land cakes, no" said Lixe.
 "Well. that old tinker gave lem both . good talking to- said the customer. He brings lem face to face, and hs says to him. says he, In the day O the judgment God I'll mind the look O your wife,' and then he says the same to her.,
 Singular man!' said comedy Llse.
 He never robbed that bank, either, any more'n did"
 Men ain't apt to claim a sin that don't belong to lem. That's my opin. ion"
 He did 1t to shield another"
 Sidney TroveY was the half whis- pered query of the sister Lize.
 "Trove, nov' said the other quickly. Tt was that old man with gray beard who never spoke to anybody an used to visit the tinker"
 "She was interrupted by a newcomer "a stout woman of middle age who nuttered in, breathing heavily. under a look of pallor and agitation. 'Sh-h-h!'' said she, lifting a large hand. She sank upon chair, flaming herself. She said nothing for little.
 What is 1t, Bet, for mercy's saker said Lize.
 Have you heard the newsT' said she that was called Bet.
 Land sakes, nov' said the others.
 Then followed moment of suspense, during which the newcomer sat biting her under lip, with merry smile.
 You're too provoklng!'' said the sis ter Llze impatiently. Why do you keep us hanging by the eyebrows?"
 "Sh-h-h!' said the dear sister Bet again. Another woman had stopped by the door. Then scornful whisper from the sister Lize.
 Its that horrible Kate Tredder. Mercy! Is she coming in ?'
 She came in. Long since she had ceased to enjoy credit or confidence at the little shop.
 Nice day." said she.
 The sister Lize moved impatiently and picked up her work. This untlme

 Gan you describe him?' Trove in- quired.
 He was a big man, with white whiskers an hair, an he wore light brooches an short, blue coat"
 Again the friend of Darrell" Trove thought.
 Did you tell the tinker about your boss the night we were all at Robins Inn last summer?"
 T told him the whole story. an he pumped me dry. I'd answer him an he'd holler Very we'll an shoot an- other question at me"
 Well, Thurst, go on with your story"
 Couldn't tell ye just what happen ed. They went of int the house. Mex day the boss tor me he want no longer poor man an was goin' t sell his farm an leave for Csliforny. In a tavern near where we lived the stranger died sudden that night, an the funeral was at our house. an he was buried there in Iowy."
 Trove walked to the bench and stood a moment looking out of the window.
 Stranger said he. returning pres ently. with fearful eyes. Do you re- member the dateT
 Twas a Friday, bout the middle O September"
 Trove turned. looking up at the brazen dial of the tall clock. It indicat- ed 4s3O in the morning of Sept. 1g.
 Were there any with him when be diedT
 -Yes: the tavern keeper: it was some kind of a stroke. they told me"
 And your boss-did he 20 to Califor- niay" Trove asked.
 He sold the farm an went to Cali forny. I worked there awhile. but the boss an me couldn't agree. an 90 I pulled up an trotted fer home-
 To what part of California did Thompson goT'
 Hadn't no idee where be would stick his stakes. He was goin' int' the gold business
 Trove sat busy with his own thoughts while 7hurston lilly. warming to new con6dence. boiled over with enthusiasm for the far vest. A school friend of the boy came hy and by. vbereupon lilly vhistled and hurried away.

ly entrance had left her hanging by the eyebrows and red with anxiety. She gave the newcomer sweeping glance, sighed and said, "Yes." The sister Bet grew serious and began tap. ping the floor with her toe.
 "I've been clear round the square, '' said Mrs. Tredder, "an' l guess I'll sit awhile. I ain't done thing today, an' don't b'lieve I'll try till after dinner. Miss Tole. you may give me another yard O that red silk ribbon"
 She sat by the counter, and Miss Tole sniffed a little and began to measure the ribbon. She was deeply If secretly offended by this intrusion.
 Whats the newsT' said the new conner. turning to the sister Bet.
 "Oh. nothing" said the other wearily.
 "Ain't you heard about that woman up at the Mooseheadw
 Heard all I care to-" said the sister Bet. with jealous feeling.
 What about her?' said the sister Lize. now reaching on tiptoe, as it were. The sister Bet rose impatieptly and made for the door.
 "Goingi" said she that was called Hze, note of alarm in her voice.

 The newcomer sat in thoughtful at titude. her elbow on the counter.
 "well?" said the sister Lize.
 You all treat me so funny here I guess I'll go." said Mrs. Tredder. who now got up. her face darkening. and hurried away.
 "wretchr' said the sister Lize hot ly. T could have choked her" She squirmed a little. moving her chair roughly.
 She's forever sticking her nose into other peoples business.- were the words of the customer. She seemed to be near the point of tears.
 Maybe that's why It's % red.- the other answered, with unspeakabIe con tempt "I'm SO mad can hardly ait still.-
 She wound her yarn close and stuck her needle Into the ball.
 Thank goodness- said she sudden ly. Here comes Serene.-

 T don't believe that he's good fel- low" said the other.
 "Why do you say thatr'
 "Well, detective is--is"-
 "A necessary evilT' Trove suggested.
 "Just that" said the other. He must pretend to be what he isn't, and-well, gentleman is not apt to sell himself for that purpose. Now, he's trying to convince people that you knew as much about the crime as Darrel. In my opinion he isn't honest. Good looks and fine raiment are all there is to that fellow, take my word for it."
 You're inclined to judge him harsh ly," said Trove. But I'm worried, for I fear he's unworthy of her. and-and l must leave town tomorrow"
 Shall you go to see herT'
 No; not until know more about him. have friends here. and they will give her good counsel. Soon they'll know what kind of a man he is. and, if necessary, they'll warn her. I'm beset with trouble, but, thank God, know which way to turn"

Midway was a little white building. its caves within reach of ones hand. its gable on the line of the sidewalk overhanging which. from q crane above the door. was q big golden spool. In it's two windows were lace and ribbons and ladies' hats and spools of thread. and blue shades drawn high from o'clock In the morning until dark. It was the little shop of Ruth Tole. q house of fate on the way from happening to history. There secrets. travel worn. were nourished awhile and sent on their way; reputations were made over and often trimmed with ex- cellent taste and discrimination

 Halted in memory of good man. ! It's hands pointing to the moment of hi. i death, Its voice hushed in his honor.
 Trove shut the door of the old cloch and hurried to the public attorneys office, where he got the address of Le. blanc. He met many who shook his hand warmly and gave him pleasant word. He was in great fear of meet ing Polly and thought of what he should do and say if he came face to face with her. Among others he met the school principal.
 Coming back to workT" the latter inquired.
 "No. sir, I've got to earn money"
 "We need another teacher, and I'll recommend you.
 I'm much obliged, but I couldn't come before the fall term" said Trove.
 'I'll try to keep the place for you" said his friend as they parted.
 Trove came slowly down the street, thinking how happy he could be now if Darrel were free and Polly had only trusted him. Near the Sign of the Dial he met Thurston lilly.
 Back again?" Trove inquired.
 
 Rack again. Boss gin up farmin'.. Did he make his fortuneY
 ''No; he had one give to him."
 Come and tell me about it.

 'No," said Troye. smiling.
 "A man shot me once when I want doin' nothin' but tryin' t tell story, an don't take no chances. Do you remember my boss tellin' that night in the woods how he lost his money in the fire O '35?'
 .Yes."

~ROvE sat in council with Mary
 and Theron Allen. He was
 now in debt to the doctor. He
 needed money also for cloth ing and boots and an enterprise all had been discussing.
 "I'll give you $500 for the mare." said Allen.
 Trove sat in thoughtful silence. and presently Allen went out of doors. The woman got her savings and brought them to her son.
 There is $23, an 1t may help you" she whispered.
 No. mother, can't take it," said the young man. T owe you more now than l can ever pay. I shall have to sell the mare. It's a great trial to me, but but honor Is better than horses"
 Well, I've a surprise for you" said she, bringing a roll of cloth from the sbedroom. Those two old maids spun the wool. and wove 1t, and, see, it's all been fulled."
 You're as good as gold, mother, and 60 are they. It's grand to wear in the country, but I'm going away and ought to have an extra good suit. I'd like to look as fine as any of the village boys. and they don't wear homespun. But I'll have plenty of use for it
 Next day he walked to Jericho Mills and paid the doctor. He went on 10 -5illdam. buying there a handsome new ->atfit of clothing. Then he called to -ee the president of the bank-that one which had set the dogs of the law on him.
 ~You know put s3.oOO in the bank of Hillsborough.- said Trove when he sat facing the official T took the money there. believing It to be mine. If, hswever. it Is yours. I wish to turn It ovt.. to you
 Tt is not our money said the presi- dent That bundle was sent here. and we investigated every bill-a great task. for there were some 300 of them. Many are old bills and two the issue of banks gone out of business. It's all . very curious problem They would not have received this money. but they knew of the robbery and suspected you at once Now we believe absolutely in your honor
 -I shall put that beyond all ques- ton said Trove. rising

'No,' she answered. ''But surely Darrel is not the guilty one. It's all such mystery"
 Mrs. Vaughn, do not suffer yourself to think evil of me or of Darrell If do lose your daughter hope l may not lose your good opinion" The young man spoke earnestly, with wet eyes.
 T shall not think evil of you" said the woman.
 Trove stood moment. his hand upon the latch.
 If there's anything can do for you or for Polly said he. T should like to know it. Let's hope for the best Some day you must let me come and"- he hesitated, his voice failing him fsr a moment "and play game of check. ers," he added.
 Paul stood looking up at him sadly, his face troubled.
 Its an evil day when the heart of a child is heavy," said Trove, bending over the boy. What is the first law, Pauly' . ; 'sThou shalt learn to obey" said the boy quickly.
 "And who is the great master?'
 Yourself
 Right, boy! Let's command our hearts to be happy"
 The great bare maple was harping dolefully in the wind Trove went for the mare, and Funk rode down the hill with him in the cutter. ! Things here ain't what they used t De- said Funk. 4. Z < sNo?'
 ''Widdsr, she takes on awful Great changes!"
 There was moment of silence.
 T ain't the same dunn fool used t be-" Funk added presently.
 Whats happened to you?'
 ''Well, they tof me what you said about lyin'. Ye know man in the hoss business is apt t git leetle care fless, but aint no such dunn fool as I fused t be. Have you heard that Tee Icy Tower was married ?" to 'aThe old maid?'' ae a Is1"Yes, sir; the or maid, to Deacon -Haskins, an he lives with lem, an now they're jes Ike other folks. Never was so surprised since I was first kicked by hoss."
 Tunk's conscience revived suddenly and seemed to put its hand over his mouth.
 "Joe Beach is goin' to be a doctor," Funk went on presently.
 T advised him to study medicine" Trove answered
 He's gone off t school at Milldam an is workin' like beaver. He was purty rambunctious till ye broke him to lead"
 They rode then to the foot of the hill in silence.
 Seems so everything has changed" Funk added as he left the cutter. 'Ez Tower has crossed the Fadden bridge Team run away an snaked him over. They say he don't speak to his hosses now"
 Trove went on thoughtfully. Some of Funk Hosely's talk had been as bread for his hunger, as a harvest, indeed, giving both seed and sustenance More clearly than ever he saw before him the great field of life where was work and the joy of doing it.

An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful; they will lie to their physician" This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth. but not the whole truth, to a u,ale physician, but this is only in re- gard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex.
 It is q terrible ordeal to delicate, sensitive, refined woman to be obliged to answer certain questions when those questions are asked even by her family physician. This is especially the case with unmarried women.
 Is 1t any wonder, then. that women continue to suffer and that doctors fail to cure female diseases when they cannot get the proper information to work on?
 This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now core sponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To he, they can and do give every symptom so that she really knows more abou' the true condition of her patients through her correspondence with them than the physician who personall! questions them.
 Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble peculiar to women, write at oDce t' Mrs. finkham, Lynn, Mass, and sh' will advise you free of charge.
 The fact that this great boon, whici Is extended freely to women by Mrs Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou sands of letters received by her prove Many such grateful letters as the fol lowing are constantly pouring in.
