when not out to graze. She pulled down a bridle that hung on a post near to the gateway, then, with an ear of corn from an almost empty crib nearby, she leaped over the fence ana went coaxingly to- ward the horse, holding out to him the tempting ear of corn.
 But the animal was not afraid of Nan. She had always been so kind to him, stroking his mane and talking gently to him, that he never objected to her ap- preaching him. But today Nan felt that she must run no risks, so she provided herself with the corn. The horse came to her, nosed the corn and opened his teeth to take the bite. At the moment Nan slipped the bit into his mouth and had the strap buckled instantly about his neck. Then, leading him to the gate, she opened 1t with one hand while with the other she kept a firm hold on the bridle rein. Her next move was to climb upon the fence and mount. Her heart beat with fear as she remembered that the colt had never been ridden by a woman, and her father had not thought him a safe animal for himself to ride; and he always had a saddle, too. But Nan could not adjust heavy saddle and must risk herself on the colts bare back.

She held a tight rein as she guided him out of the corral and across the yard, but, nevertheless, the colt pricked up his ears, lifted his feet as though they were feathers, and was on the point of becoming too much for her. She bent her mouth close to his ear, saying: Now, Tom, old coltie, you must behave and carry me fast and safe away Ovar tham hills wander Wp'Va pOf tO meet the fast train that will have maybe q hundred people In 1t.

Then she was bidden by her father to come to London and be presented at court. The fond mother never again be- held her daughter, for soon after the en- forced separation Caroline went to travel on the Continent, hoping to case the gnawing pain at her heart. Soon after ward her daughter was married to young foreign nobleman, and a little later the sorrowing mother received the news of her chld's untimey death. This decided Caroline to remain abroad indefinitely. She did not return to England till the death of George III. made her husband king Of Great Britain and Ireland. Then she hurried home and insisted that she receive her rights as the queen consort. In vain she made her plea, George re- fused to see her or to lend ear to her prayer or those of her friends. He com handed his court to ignore her and bade none ever speak her name In his pres ence. Indeed he heaped upon his suffer- ing and rejected wife all the insults that e despicable monarch could.

Wilt thou follow us, Good Man? We'll take thee but a short distance and then re- veal to thee the mystery of Success"
 Thomas Higgans threw down his broad bladed knife with which he was cutting fagots, and said: Perhaps 1t were the right thing to do. Kind Slrs. I'm q fond father, and want to help my dear son all that l can. My main wish, be 1t known, Is to have him Good rather than Great. But if he can be Good and Great at the same time I'll gladly have 1t so" "Ah, now you speak words of wisdom, declared all three men in voice. Fol low us and you'll not regret it."
 Thomas Higgans followed the three stal- wart men as they wended their way through a deep canyon. After some min utes of silence the leader drew his horse to a stop and said to Thomas: Come, get thee on the horse in front of me. It is a weary walk and q slow one on foot. We'll make better haste If you ride
 Thomas did as asked, and was soon seated on the mighty horses back in front of the rider But scarcely had he taken his place there when he felt heavy cloth suddenly wrapped over his face, shutting off his sight. Then be- fore he could move a muscle his hands were pinioned behind him and he found himself a prisoner and blindfolded. In vain he tried to call out; the bandage about his face held his mouth shut, and almost strangled him. Make no noise nor do thou struggle" said his captor be- hind him.

Local Homes Needed.

OSe~A AA0AAASS AsC0aOas
There is not vacant building
10 Winfield. Not one day, but
constantly demands are made for
residences. Strangers, and often
times men of moderate means, are
seeking homes here with u view of
permanently locating. They are
unable to obtain a residence and
are compelled to return whence
they came. This emphasizes the
necessity of erecting cottage
homes that could be rented at
reasonable rates. Such invest
ment would pay a god interest
on capital thus lnSssted. Those
who own the siteyand possess the
requisite fun:s for building.
should give this question serious
consideration. If Winfield is to
grow IN population and impor-
tsnce, as all seem desirous that 1t
sh6dsd, then the spirit of enter
Pfise should take hold of this
b,ghly important matter and show
de fruits Of earnest endeavor.
New residences are spoken Tor
before they are completed and
occupied almost before they are
fiuished. This demonstrates the
urgent need for more homes to
satisfy home e-seekers.

SPENDING MONEY
FOR HOME DESIRES
Some Reasons Against Sending
Money Abroad for Christ
mas Gifts and Luxuries

Now that Christmas time is
approaching there will be more
than the ordinary expenditures
for toys and sweets for the chill
dren, more costly gifts for the
youthful and mature as tokens of
good will and affection, and as
remembrances of this era of peace
on earth. Money made by honest
toll and legitimate business should
be spent in the home town.
WINFIELD has as attractive and
pretentious stores as any larger
city. These emporiums are stock
ed with elegant goods in every
line of business either for adorn-
meat of person, ornaments,
household goods or viands to
please the appetite.
Do not send money abroad for
any of these things Remember
this money is earned here by hon.
est industry. Patronize the home
merchants for every article that
can be had to satisfy the taste for
things needful or ornamental.
Capital expended at home stays
in the hands of local merchants
and is kept in circulation in aid
ing the development of home
enterprises. Let the order houses
severely alone. Follow out the
promptings of that civic pride
that prefers home goods for home
use. In pursuing such a. course
the resident shows his pride and
confidence in local surroundings,
prosperity and progress. Such a
spirit is both wisdom and reason.
Patronize home business and home |
Industries for all reasonable de-
sires and wants.

A WIDE-AWAKE
RAILROAD COMPANY
New Freight Equipment for 7.
& G. to be Delivered Dur
ing This Month.

The fremont & Gulf Railroad
Company was the last railroad
that completed its line to Winn-
field. The wide-awake energy OF
its promoters is evidenced by the
style, neatness and finish of its
terminals here. Its depot is the
most complete in its accommoda.
tions for the transaction of its
business of any line entering
into this town. Each department
has its separate Office for the
transaction of business. These
are neat. roomy aud convenient.
The storage room for freight is
capacious and the ticket Office
elegant in all its surroundings.
Some conception may be form
ed of the amount of business
which this line handles when it il
stated that contract has recently
been fled here for recordstion
for new freight cars to be deliver
ed to the road during the present
month.
In September a contract was
hade with the Haskell & Barker
Car Company of Michigan City,
Ind, for the delivery of new
freight equipment. This will con-
sist of $50 box cars of $4,000
pounds capacity to cost sos each;
so fat cars, 40 feet long of $4,000
pounds capacity, to cost .$649
each, making . total expenditure
Of 3l8S, 800. Sample cars are to be
constructed as speedily as possible
and sent out for inspection.
Thus it will be seen that the
fremont & Gulf will soon be
splendidly equipped to handle all
the business of the line, which
bids fair to become heavy. The
contract has already been record
ed in jackson and Lincoln par
ishes and sent here for the same
purpose.
