the pariah, rubbing his hands, while

Darlington deliberated for a space,
He was hard put. He did not want to

storm to burst, for Cavenaugh was not

Are you mad?" whispered Kate. A
flush of anger swept over her at the
thought of Carrington's lightly casting
aside this evident olive branch.
Would you have me accept it," he
returned, in whisper lower than

Just before the carriage arrived to

when the door closed upon him. HE

Nobody pursued the subject and
Norah began to preen herself.
An idea came to Darlington. He
wanted to be rid of his document. He
spoke to Kate, who nodded compre
hensively. She led him into the din,

by low screen, was a sJrsll safe
This she threw open. and Darlington
put the envelope into one of the
pigeon holes. The safe was absolutely
empty, a fact which puzzled him NOT

THE NEW WOMAN
Made over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage of Southerners than of
Northern people for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an illus
tration, woman of Richmond, Va,
writes:
Il was a coffee drinker for years
and for about six years my health was
completely shattered. / suffered fear
fully with headache and nervousness,
also palpitaiion of the heart and loss
OF appetite.
My sight gradually began to fail
and finally l lost the sight of one
eye altogether. The eye was op-
Grated upon and the sight partially
restored, then l became totally blind
in the other eye.
MY doctor used to urge me to
give up coffee, but was willful and
continued to drink it until finally in a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that l must give up the coffee,
so l began using Postum, and in a
month felt like a new creature.
Il steadily gained in health and
strength. About a month ago 1 be-
gan using Grape-Nuts food and the
effect has been wonderful. / really

gained about 25 pounds.

fore using Postum and Grape-nuts 1
could not walk square without ex-
ceeding fatigue, now l walk ten or
twelve without feeling it. Formerly
in reading could remember but little
but now my memory holds fast what
read.
Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects of Postum and
Grape-Nuts ON me have urged that /

The Cape Town Convention.

By far the moet important item OF
news yet received In regard to the delib-
erations OF the closer union conven-
ton which reassembled at Cape Town
after the Christmas holidays and is still
in session Is that contained in THE Suns
special cable despatch from Cape Town
yesterday. As has been known for
some time the question on which there
seemed a likelihood Of permanent dis
agreement and perhaps entire failure
for the plan o: unification OF South
Africa was that relating to the choice
for the capital, the two leading candi-
dates for that honor being Pretoria and
Cape Town. As appears, however, by
the cable despatch mentioned, an agree
ment which is in the nature Of CON-
promise has been arrived at by which
the federal parliament OF the proposed
union shall meet In Cape Town, while
Pretoria shall be the administrative
capital. That such a scheme 10
wholly practicable may be doubted,
but the agreement thus reached shows
that the delegates are seriously striving
TO adjust their disagreements and thus
achieve the great end aimed at, the

The Spirit OF Nevada.

Our enthusiastic admiration for the
unterrified and war loving legislators
of Nevada We shall not attempt to ex-
press. Their naughty defiance Of the
Japanese empire, their contempt for the
treaty obligations Of the United States,
their willingness to provoke an armed
conflict that would be prolonged,
bloody and productive of indescribable
miseries, must arouse the patriotic fer
vor Of every citizen.
We scorn the suggestion that there is
any bad faith In the action Of the law
makers Of that sovereign State. How
can the intensity of their feeling be
doubted2 Only two years ago their
Jealous love Of freedom, their devotion
TO their home institutions, their conf
ience in the United States, were amply
shown. Was there not a labor quarrel
in Goldfeld, and at the same time was
not the United States Government called
on to supply a chief Of police. Sheriff
and the needed policemen, deputies and
constables? Did not the Federal Gov
ernment perform for three months those
elementary duties Of preserving order
within the State, maintaining the peace
and protecting property which in other
communities are entrusted to town,
county and State agencies?
Indeed, the recent history Of Nevada
proves beyond question that its states
men and politicians gre anxious to pro-
vide work for the Federal Government
and the army Of the United States.
