FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES.
Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow
Minded New Yorker.

Oklahoma amazes an easterner The
wide. asphalted streets, the plate glass
fronts of department stores, the clean
sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried
shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan
air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex-
ample, seem marvels to find in ter
ritory only II years old. But do not
say so.
A New Yorker who went there on
business complained that fate was
thrusting him into a wilderness, and
his Oklahoma associates could not re-
assure him. But Coming down to
breakfast the first morning, at his
hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared
around in wonder as he entered the
dining-room.
"This," he exclaimed, "this is Okla
homa!! Why, do you known" conf
dentially, Il even found a porcelain
bathtub in my room"
WELL" said an Oklahoman, drily,
"don't you have those In New York;"

CHAPTER XIV.
A Drive In the Storm

A moment later the doctor returned
hurriedly to the library for his medi.
cine case and said:
Il wish we could get consultation
here in the country" he continued,
measuring out some powders with a
critical air and depositing them on
bits of paper which he had cut for the
purpose. Most of the deaths in this
part of the world are from accident or
old age, and man with large city
practice and extensive hospital expe-
rience might possibly suggest some
means of prolonging her life for a
time. We cannot hope to save her,
but | wish we could keep her till Car
ney comes"
Il have telegraphed my friend Mac
Ardel to come and help me solve the
mystery of the place." ventured eau
tiously, not wishing to hurt his pro-
fessional pride. You know he was
with me here last summer and we had
a number of very peculiar experiences
then, so he knows good deal about
it already, and / thought we could
work together to advantage. Perhaps
he could be of service to you at the
same time"
THE very mani" exclaimed the doc
tor. Il know him well by reputation.
When will he arrive?"
'If my wire IS delivered promptly he
can get here on the midnight train"
replied. Il know he will start at once,
for l sent for him at his own sugges-
ton, in response to a letter from me
telling him of the tunnel affair, and |
think he has some very definite the
ories on the subject.
Just the thing!" cried the doctor,
picking up the powders and hurrying
toward the door. Let me know the
minute he sets foot in the house. l
shall be here all night"

He was not to Blame.

Little Bartholomew mother over
heard him swearing like mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as we'll
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: 81 didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should 1 know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

WHAT'S THE USE2
To Pour in Coffee When 1t Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at time but no one can go
without sleep. For long time have
not been sleeping WELL often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now l sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
orous," says Calf. woman.
do you know why? It's because
used to drink coffee but finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then l have drank coffee and
both times l passed a sleepless night,
and so l am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved 1t.
MY brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times day He
was troubled with sour stomach and
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly day
passed without a dose of soda for re-
lief
Finally he tried cup of Postum
and liked it SO well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom-
ach"
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands
of cases just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works won
ders. There's a Reason"
Read the famous little book, THE
Road to We!l'iIle," in pkgs,

The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight
rates for distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, it's indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted 1t.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider a large state, has 5000 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.
England, Germany, France, Holland
and Belgium are all contemplating
further extension and improvement of
their canal systems.-Century Maga-

"Then you know nothing of the mys-
terry of Carney-Croft?" | asked eau
tiously, closing the door and speaking
in lown tone!
THE mystery of Carney Croft" he
exclaimed in bewildered surprise and
then his face relaxed and he smiled
pleasantly as he said: "Oh! you mean
the ghost stories that were told about
here after Mr.. Carney died?'
We'll" | returned, ghosts or some
thing of the sort were really seen
about the place, were they not?"
His smile broadened as he replied:
"Oh, yes, some of the boys did rig
themselves up in sheets and play
spook for a time, until l took hand
in it myself and drove them out
was going to send you word about it,
but found it was only lot of boyish
pranks, and that they hadn't done any
harm beyond getting into the old tun-
mel by the river, and, of course, that
didn't amount to anything"
The old tunnel" l exclaimed in
well-feigned surprise. rs there a tun-
mel by the river?"
You never heard of 1t, of course"
he went on. ''and fancy nearly every
one has forgotten it by this time.
When Mr.. Carney began to build here
he located his house some 200 yards
farther down the hill toward the wa
ter. He had plan of running little
tunnel from the cellar to the river so
that ashes and other refuse from the
house could be taken out that way and
not clutter up the lawns or be seen
from the windows.
Just as this work was partially
completed the old dam, some two
miles up the stream, was demolished
and new one built about a mile be-
low. This raised the water level un-
til the far end of his tunnel was COM
pletely submerged and so he gave up
the scheme entirely and began new
cellar quite a distance back from the
first. The partly finished tunnel and
the excavation for the original cellar
were covered over and had practically
been forgotten by everybody except the
boys, who used to dive down and swim
into the hole in the summer.
Then, as | say, they got the idea of
playing ghost and would run down the
hill in the moonlight with nothing on
but sheet or piece of old fish net
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1907-08-29

which waved out far out behind them.
When they got to the edge of the bank
they would emit some sort of ghost
ly yell and dive down out of Sight.
Finally, when all the young girls in
the neighborhood began to get hys-
terics, discovered what was going on
and put stop to it by giving two or
three of the ringleaders a sound
thrashing and installing a family of
beavers in the tunnel who vigorously
attacked all future intruders."
I The doctor laughed heartily as he
finished his little tale and concluded
by saying:
There have been occasional rumors
of ghost since then, l know, but /
fancy that is the biggest mystery Car
ney-Croft ever had"
Doctor" returned seriously, there
is far greater mystery than that 60
ing on here this very minute That
tunnel is again occupied, by whom 1
do not know, but the man or men who
are down there are In league with that
Bruce woman who lives in the new
cottage, and with jerks, the stage
driver. Moreover, these people are
connected in some inexplicable way
with Miss Weston, and the Bruce
woman, who seems to be the head and
front of the whole thing. has written
letters to Miss Weston, and even to
me, most of which contain vague ref
erences to Miss Carney and threats
that"
"The Bruce woman written to you!"
exclaimed the doctor. "Why, my dear
sir, it is impossible! I have known
the woman for a dozen years and she
cannot read a word or write a letter."
At that moment he was summoned
hurriedly to Miss Weston's room and
l was handed a telegram from Mac
Ardel which read:
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1907-08-29

AS he left the room / strove to col
lect my scattered thoughts and deter
mine the present aspect of the situa-
tion. If the widow could not write,
who, in heavens name, did send the
notes? 1t did not appear probable that
the doctor was wrong in what he had
said, and, moreover, the statement
served to explain the merriment of
jerks when l had accused her directly
of being the author of the letters.
Still, she had assumed all RESPONSE
bility for them, which was tantamount
to writing them as far as their prac-
tical features were concerned, and |
finally decided that if they were not
her own work they must have been
written at her dictation, which really
amounted to the same thing.
| spent the afternoon in the library,
hoping that l might see Miss Carney
and at least offer her my sympathy in
her present trouble, even if | said no
more at this time, but she did not
come down stairs during the entire
day, and at dinner she sent me word
by Mrs. Randolph that DR.. MacArdel
would be very welcome, not only be-
cause had asked him to come, but for
himself as well, and in the hope that
he might be of benefit to Miss Weston.
The storm had increased steadily all
day but, in spite of it's fury and the
drifts that were piling up and block
ing the roads at every point, | an
nounced my determination to go with
the sleigh to meet MacArdel

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-WouId
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. l had heard of SO many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought l would give them a trial
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before / had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,
