 She faced him squarely for mo- ment, and he met her eyes. They were gray, with tawny fecks, wide open, clear and comprehending. My fla ther's Evan Lancaster" she explained. "Lancaster-oh, he's traded at my store"
 That's him over there with Mary lyn."
 Lounsbury turned in his saddle and looked toward the shack. "Marylyn" he said. What pretty name! Sounds like Maryland. How'd she"- He paused questioningy.
 Mothers name was Mary Lynn she answered, her voice lowered. "So she just put it together"

 Again she colored sensitively and hastened to swing the team around un- til Betty stood in the furrow. My fathers coming" she said.
 Instantly Lounsbury was all regret, for he saw that she had misunderstood him. You don't look Texas" he said earnestly. Its just the name. And and I think Dallas is pretty too"
 The implied jest on her native state did not do away with her displeasure. She nodded gravely and, turning, put the lines about her shoulders. The mules started.
 Now I've got you down on me-" he said penitently. Honest I didn't mean
 She paid no heed.
 He clapped on his hat, whipped his horse and followed alongside, waiting for her to look up. Opposite the shack Lancaster and his other daughter were standing by the furrow. Here she drew rein. This is Marylyn," she

mind that the kidneys are affectsd, notice the urine for a few days. If passages are irregular, painful, or too scanty, discolored, or full of sedi- ment, the kidneys need help right away, and there is no other medicine more helpful than Doan's Kidney Pills, a simple remedy for the kid- neys, yet so powerful that 1t quickly cures the cause and so ends all the painful and annoying symptoms. Home testimony proves the unfailing merit of Doan's Kidney Pills.
 WATERBURY TESTIMONY.
 Mrs James Dews of 32 Hospital avenue, Waterbury, Conn. says: My husband made a statement for publi. cation in August, 1901, in which he said that he had suffered considera. bly, from pain in the loins and kid neys. especially during changeable weather or after taking cold. and that although he would often be so lame and sore that he could not do justice to his work, Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the H. w. Lake Drug Co, relieved him entirely of tha trouble. It gives me pleasure to confirm his testimony and to say that the cure has been permanent. He has never complained of his back since Deans Kidney Pills curet him"

said as the storekeeper leaned to grasp her fathers hand
 Lounsbury again lifted his hat and looked down, long and admiringly, upon the younger girl. Her fair hair, framing in soft waves pale, oval face and her blue eyes watching him in some confusion, were strongly in contrast with the straight, heavy braids-brown, and showing burnished tints in the light-and the unwavering eyes of her sister. Looking at her, he was reminded of girls he had seen be- yond the Alleghanies-girls who knew little or no toll and who jealously guarded their beauty from sun and wind. Answering Lancaster's blunt questions that followed close upon each other he paid her prettiness con- stant and wondering homage, and she, noting the attention. retreated a little and was quiet and abashed.
 "Who's you party?' the elder man demanded, indicating the distant camp with one crutch and leaning heavily upon the other.
 Surveyors" replied Lounsbury.
 Surveyors" There was alarm in Lancaster's tone. He suddenly re- called how, sighting Dallas advice, he had delayed trip to the land office for the purpose of filing on the claim. "W'at they doin'"
 Something right in your line, sir. They're laying out railroad"
 "A railroad? You don say! How'll it come?"
 "Why, right this way"
 Lancaster caught the other by the boot strap. "Shore% he asked.
 Sure" repeated Lounsbury. "Sure as death and taxes. It's bound to run somewhere between the coulee and Medicine mountain, and it'll stop-at least for few years-at the Missouri. With those sloughs in the way at the south end of the gap, it can't reach the river without coming over your land. First thing you know, you'll have stores and saloons around your house. There's going to be a town on the bend, sir"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-11-06

The elder man scanned the younger'S face. Lounsbury was smiling half teasingly, yet undoubtedly he was in earnest.
 wy, Lawd" breathed the section boss, realizing the whole import of the news. A railroad would mean im-, measurable good fortune to the trio of settlers who, like young prairie chick ems that fear to leave the side of their mother, had chosen quarter sections near the guarding fort And to him, penniless, with motherless girls, 1t meant
 'The ferrying $ so good right here," went on the storekeeper. "Why, it's a 10 to 1 shot the track II end on your claim"
 With one accord all looked across the level quarter. where the new green was creeping in after the late rains.
 "A railroad. An town! The sec. tion boss pulled at his grizzled goatee. "They'll make this piece worth heap"
 "They will" agreed Lounsbury. "But road or no road, seems to me you've got about the cream of this side of the river"
 You right" said Lancaster. But the girls were silent. except that Dal- las gave a sigh deep and full of hap piness.
 Lounsbury glanced at her. You like the place. don't you." he asked. "even if'- He suddenly paused. Her palms were open and half turned up- ward. Across each lay q crimson stripe the mark of the blow handle.
 For the second time she read his meaning. "Yes, like the prairie" she answered, If do have to plow." And she stepped from the furrow to the unturned sod.'

Beautiful Things

There seems to be an abundance
of energy in the world. but there
is quite scarcity of the some
thing or other that directs it. We
often bump into men and women
who are working like nailers and
achieving nothing at all. 1t often
happens that they are hitched to
the wrong ambition star or that
they are driving aimlessly without
definite brain plans. 1t still often
er happens that they do not give
their bodies sufficient relaxation
and rest to bring from their brains
the best that is there.
Those who do the most and best
work are seldom the ones who
jump around, tear up the rugs and
have cyclonic proclivities in gener.
al. These use up nerve force and
muscular strength to such an ex.
tent that the brain is actually
tagged to death out of sympathy
not because of OVERRIDING. A steam
engine will stand just so mucl
pressure and no more.
To the physical mechanisms o
the body which are so wonder
fully delicate there is a limit o

endurance, and the human fuss
budget ought to know it.
There is many man and many
woman who have learned the
need of rest through very unpleas-
ant experiences. They have toiled
and worried and staggered along
under heavy loads until i'll health

living-swooped down upon them
and called sudden halt. They
were made to rest whether they
wanted to or not
Sometime, when the Muse
moves us, we are going to urge the
beauty correspondent to pay a lit
tie more heed to the lovely things
with which life is stored full---good
books for instance. and sweet
music and little children and
flowers and birds.
There is so much that is blessed
and inspiring that it is hardly fair
to spend ones time in toll and
drudgery. There is much i'll life
and few of us seem to have found
it out. One woman can look at a
sweet child or lovely flower or
she can lis IN to the story of

At the sound of violin's note
another woman is conscious of the
fact that. within her heart. are
the most inexpressibly tender
feelings. The sensitive one is the
one who is living. The other wo-
man is merely passing through
with the parade, unmindful of the
hedges of sweet briar and haw-
thorne that skirt the road, the
wonderful -blueness that hides
the stars away. the glory of the
winds, the mystery and beauty and
wonder of this place which we call
the world and which is, after all,
great and.g glorious vale of splen-
did opportunities and greater hap
piness.

The Value of Money

Money is made to spend. Some
people think it is made to spend
fooIishIy. to alder to pride and
the appetites. without a judiclous
discrimination of its legitimate use.
Does he ever spend any money!"
is supposed to be a squelcher of a
question that puts the object of the
question out of business. The
answer is in truth prompt and to
the point. "Yes" because all men
spend all the money they have.
No men, as rule. keep money
that is to hoard it. They all spend
it. Some spend it to get more:
they invest in the channels of
trade, of business and projects.
Those are the best spenders, for
they produce labor and the money
goes into the hands of workers. of
people who use their money for
the general good, and for the pro-
gress of society.
But the man who asks docs he
spend money!" would convey the
idea that he must blow it in. live
fast aud be an all round dissipator,
and hummer in order to be popular
and the ideal man.
A man with such concept had
better take himself out into the
solitude of the crowd and extricate
himself from the noisy procession
of the world and then and there
ask himself few hard, plain ques-
tions: ask himself what return he
has received for the money he
spent for alcohol; for gambling and
dissipation: and the answer he will
get will be red nose, rained
stomach, physical degeneracy, ir-
retrievable poverty and mental
imbecility that will send him to an
early demise, unwept, unhonore
and unmourned.
Money is medium of exc change.
1t canbe exchanged for illegitimated
purposes as well as those that are
proper and Legitimate. The latter
insures probity of character, res
pectability, honor and indepen-
dence. Do not allow man with
perverted mind to hypnotise you
and make things appear different
from what they really are, by
sneeringly and ignorantly remark
ing about somebody better than he
is, docs he ever spend any
thing2" He is acting the fool be-
cause he is ignorant and he pre-
sumes that you are as ignorant as
he is. A little plain, independent
thought ON such occasions will not
hurt you and if you draw ON a Wig
orous, healthy mind it will give
you the kind of good that will be
pleasing, satisfactory and safe on
! all occasions.
