anybody you like as somebody else.
Many nndertakers doing large
business among the poorer classes
have sheaves of burial certificates ly-

Remedies Are the Best to Use.
Let me tell you why Sloan's Lint.
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on tho
market to-day. In the first place. Dr..
Earl S. Slean is the son of veterin-
airy surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as vet
Urinary for 20 years and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result Of
experiments made to save life or re-
lieve suffering while he was pracuc-
ing his profession.

NEW AFRICAN RAILROADS.
Two Across Nigeria viii start Pro
ductlon Of Cotton.

ductlon Of Cotton.
several months ago an American
who has hived in Nigeria said in New
York that the climate and soil of that
large region are favorable for the cul-
tivation of cotton, but as yet there
Is no encouragement to raise It be-
cause there are no railroads to carry
1t to the sea.
The railroad is now to be supplied.
According to the American Geogra ph-
ical Society's bulletin it is to start
from Baro on the Niger river below
the rapids that impede navigation.
Vessels loaded with cotton brought
by rail to Baro may descend the Nj
ger to Akassa, the port at its mouth,
where steamships may load the
freight for Europe.
The northern terminus of the rail.
road will be Kano, the great and
populous capital of Hausaland, some
500 miles from Baro by rail and not
far south of the Sahara desert. Kano
became known some sixty years ago
at the greatest manufacturing and
commercial center Of the western Su.
dan. It is expected that the railroad
will largely increase its Importance.
The British government authorized
the building Of the railroad In August
last.
It's gauge Is to be 4 feet 6 inches.
But Kano will be Joined with the
!, sea not only by this railroad and the
Niger but also by through rail by
way Of Jebba and Lagos, now the
largest commercial center on the At
lantic coast Of the continent. An
agricultural fair in that city recently
testified to the Importance which
farming interests are already attain
ing. Many native farmers were
among the exhibitors.

CHAPTER XXI.
n aaAs

Frank Allister, who with his sister
had gone to live in the North of Lon
don, studiously avoided the neighbor-
hood of Remington. He had plenty
to occupy his time and his thoughts
in new book for which he had receiv-
ed commission, and the serial rights
of which his literary agent had sold
for higher sum than the young
author had received for all the books
he had hitherto written
A novel he had published a year
previously had apparently fallen fiat.
The few notices that had appeared
had been short and unenthusiastic
and had done nothing to assure the
sale.
But one day literary journal dis
covered that it had great merit, and
the critic, who wrote a column and a
half of praise. patted himself on the
back for having discovered new writ.
er who was before long to mako his
mark. The journal was one of consid.
cradle weight and influence, and
Franks agent Immediately telegraph
ed his congratulations and put up the
price Of his clients work.
Within a week, he sent for Allister
and told him to get on with a new
novel at once, and named the sum he
had arranged for the serial rights.
Frank went back to his sister radi-
ant. The turning point had come, and
he believed that fame and fortune lay
before him.
The one drop OF bitterness in the
pleasant cup was that he could not go
now, as he would have done once, to
May Wilson and tell her Of his success
But his sister had been waiting for
some time to go over and see Mrs.
Cheney, for whom she had q very
sincere regard, and one day she went.
She was as proud as Frank of the rec.
ognition OF his talent that had come at
last, and she wanted everybody In
their little circle Of acquaintances to
know about It.
She went over to Tho Winery one
flne afternoon, and when she returned
in the evening she told Frank, among
other items OF information from their
old home, that May Wilson was In
deep mourning for a relative.
"And Mrs. Cheney can't make It out
at all. Frank added Maggie Allister.
"She never heard May speak Of rela-
time. no black-edged envelope came to
The Winery for May, and she has never
told Mrs. Cheney anything except that
1t was near relative who had died in
the country. Isn't 1t odd she should
be SO uncommunicative about IT."
Frank said nothing. but he thought
. good deal
That evening he found his mind
wandering as he sat at his work. May
had told him that she was married
woman. She had not told Mrs. Cheney
land she called herself May Wilson.
There must have been some reason
for her separation from her husband:
some reason for her concealing the
fact that she was q wife. Was the
mysterious relative who had died far
away from her her husband7 Was
that the reason that she gave no par
ticuIars to the landlady who took so
great IN interest in her, and whom he
knew she had always regarded - .
dear friend7
Speculation 40 to the mystery Of
May Wilson'S mourning made It i'm
possible for him TO nx his thoughts on
the adventures Of his own hero and
heroine.
