might be the hour Of fate for the Cen.
tral Pacific railroad.
The fussy little engine was now
facing west, waiting its message from
the lever. The signal sounded and the
train was starting when a barefooted
boy came blowing round the rear car
carrying small package and in
formed the conductor breathlessly that
it was for that dandy feller that went
of this morning with the boss"
"Here!" cried Alfred, reaching down
as the boy ran alongside. Alfred
caught the parcel and threw coin to
the bearer.

grade and around the hill while AL

folded napkin was a spray of wild for
get-me-not. From Stella! Impulsively
he lifted the blossom to his face, and
in the action caught the fiutter of a
woman's gown high on hill that over
topped the track. There stood Stella,
granite boulder for her lookout, be-
hind her shining laurel. Her hat
hung by its ribbons, her cheeks were
glowing from her hurried climb, and
the wind fiuttered her full skirts and
tossed her shining hair. She waved
her handkerchief as the train passed.

CHAPTER V.
The Coming of Uncle Billy.

| Inc coming OF uncle Billy.
Down the rain-soaked street of the
railroad village hastened an alert
youth carrying yellow paper Where
all was hurry, one flying figure more
or less would not have been noticed ;
but this one carried crutch; one foot
was turned backward and hung high
above the ground. Yet one forgot to
be sorry for the cripple, SO quick was
he, so shining with good nature. Every
one called him boy" though he
was 20.
Hello. AL! What's yo' hurry?"
asked bystander. You can do mo-
with stick an foot than most folks

The boy barely halted and was at
the dining room door when Gregory
came out.
What's the racket, Al?" he said, "A
message for me?" He spoke little
thickly, his mouth full of a fast dis
appearing apple.

Don't Put Money In the
Mail Boxes.
Feb, 0, 3-wks.

According to orders from the
fourth assistant postmaster gener-
al. Attention is called to the
practice of some patrons of rural
delivery, of placing loose coins in
their boxes each time they desire
to dispatch letters, instead of sup
plying themselves with postage
stamps in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes and
delays them in the service of their
routes.

Uncle Billy's face sprang from De
cember to May; and he turned quickly
to the rocky trail that led back to
town.
Stella! The lonely man sped down
the red, muddy trail. his fatigue ban
ished by the magic of her name! He
looked up through the oyerarching
fretworS of pine and cedar to heavens
blue beyond, and the poet stirred in
his heart. wakened by the memory of
her face. Winter-blue skies. the thin,
fragrant air, whispering pines, even
the red, warm face of the uprearing
mountain, all had secret word for
him to-day. Would she love him still?
Or had new scenes. new faces, filled
her life, left no small chamber In her
heart labeled Uncle Billy?'

GLAD IT DID
So MUCH GOOD
Druggists Praise This Sim
pie Home Mixture.

Some remarkable stories are be-
ing told about town and among
the country people coming in of
this simple homemade mixture
curing Rheumatism and Kidney
trouble. Here is the recipe and
directions for taking: MIX by
shaking well in bottle one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon,
three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Take as dose one
teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime.
No change need be made. in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of
good water.
This mixture, writes one au-
thority in a leading Philadelphia
newspaper, has peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys; cleansing
the clogged'up pores of the elimi-
native tissues, forcing the kidn eys
to sift and strain from the blood
the uric acid and other poisonous
waste matter, overcoming Rheu-
matism, Bladder and Urinary
troubles in short while. :
A New York druggist who has
had hundreds of calls for these in
gradients since the first announce
ment in the newspapers last Octo-
ber stated that the people who
once try it "swear by it," espe-
cially those who have Urinary and
Kidney trouble and suffer with
Rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighbor-
hood say they can supply the in
gradients, which are easily mixed
at home. There is said +, bs no
better blood-cleansing agent or
system tonic known, and certainly
none more harmless or simple 20

Jim Cockrill and DIR. Cox, but had
secured an acquittal on all the
charges. He was recently forced
TO pay judgment Of $4,000, to
Mrs. Marcum in connection with
the death of her husband, ver-
dict having been found against
him in the circuit court at Win
chester.
The Hargis- Cockrill fetd, out Of
which grew the almost innumer-
able tragedies with which Judge
IIargis's name is linked, had its
inception in political contest.
The Hargises had long been dom
inant in Breathitt county, where
they conducted general store,
were engaged In the lumber busi-
ness and were generally active.
The brothers, James, Alex and
Elbei:, were good business men
and accumulated what in the
mountains is great fortune.
The trouble with the Cockrills
arose whe.. the Cockrills opposed
the Hargises at the oils. Feeling
was bitter when one day Ben Har-
gis, a younger brother of Judge
James Hargis, met one of the
Cockrill boys in blind tiger near
Jackson. There was gun play,
and Cockrill killed Ben Hargis.
In the fall of 1902 came the first
murder in tho feud. DR.. Cox, the
guardian of the Cockrill boys, was
the victim.
DR.. Cox lived on the outskirt 8
of jackson. He was called from
his home one night to answer a
professional call. AS he entered
his gate on his way home he was
shot by assassins concealed across
the way.
From that time on the story of
the Hargis Cockrill feud was writ
ten in blood. The next to fall was
Jim Cockrill, the town marshal.
But shortly after the murder of
Cockrill, when interest had been
mildly aroused, James B. Marcum,
the attorney for the Cockrill boys,
created tremendous sensation by
going to Lexington and publicly
declaring that he was "marked
man" and that he had been
doomed to murder by the Hargis
clan.
One morning in May, five years
ago, Marcum went to the court
house in Jackson to transact so me
business. He was standing at the
door Of the court house, talking to
Captain Even, afterwards noted
as witness, when shot rang
out, Marcum staggered from the
steps and fell dying, but the as
sassin stepped up and, to make
sure, shot him again through the
back of the head.
The assassin was Curt Jett, the
"wild dog" cousin of Hargis, who
has since confessed his part in the
tragedy, and who was accused Of
the others, He and Tom White
are now serving life sentences in
the pen:tentiary.
