Hugh's haggard face peered after

Not the truth. And only that could be-
tray him. Presently the bishop would
return, the train would start again, and
this spot of terror would be behind
him. What had he to do With Harry
Sanderson?
He %bethought himself suddenly of
the door. If some one should come in
upon him! With a qualm of fear he
stood up, staggered to it and turned the
key in the lock. There was not the
wonted buzz about the station. The

All his years Hugh had been q moral
coward. Life to him had been sweet
for the grosser, material pleasures il
held. He had cared for nobody, had
held nothing sacred. He had now only
to keep silence, let Harry Sandersor
pay the penalty, and he need dread DC
more. Hugh Stires. to the persuasion
Of the law, would be dead. AS soon as
might be he could disappear, as tho
rector Of st. James had disappeared be

live at ease in some quarter Of the
world, his alarm laid forever.
But a worse thing would haunt him
to scare his sleep-he would be doubly

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
a you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in ordert to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a sutfic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

A LESSON IN SELF CONTROL

the clothes. To be sure, jamie
She couldn't lift even one end of the
heavy basket. But she could hand
mamma the towels and small pieces,
one at time. and pick up clothespins
that dropped and be ready to run err
rands. She enjoyed helping mamma
as much as she could, if she wasn't
very big. and she meant to ;Telp still
more when she was older.
Pretty soon they heard baby May
laughing the merriest little laugh
They had left her asleep upstairs and
there were so many folks in the house
that they thought she would be well
taken care of. But papa had gore
down to the shop and big sister was
busy in the kitchen, thinking Polly
would play with baby when she awoke.
while Dear and Polly, thinking big
sister was in charge, had gone of to
carry out certain plans of their own.
So, as often happens, what was every
body's business proved to be nobodys,
and here was baby May standing all by
herself away up at the head of the
long back stairs, throwing down
clothespins as fast as she could What
threw one down she stood on her tip
toes and lurched forward until it
seemed as though she would surely
follow it down the long fight. How
she laughed and crowed at the bounc-

But mamma and jamie did not feel
at all like laughing. jamie would have
screamed out in terror when she saw
the precious baby in such danger, but
one look from mamma's white face
made her stop before she began.

word, not sound of fear" Then. as

A Department Story

It was during the late SPANISH
American war. A wealthy merchant,
who had left his business to offer his
services to his country, was pacing up
and down on picket duty one dark
night. Suddenly he detected sounds of
approaching footsteps and, quickly
bringing his gun into position, COM
manded in a sonorous voice:
Give the countersignn
The person challenged proved to be
an enlisted dry goods clerk formerly
employed by the merchant before the
war broke out. AS their eyes met a
smile played around the corners of the
clerks mouth and he answered in a low
whisper:
CASH"
Then the merchant, bringing his piece
to right shoulder let him pass and re-
sumed his pacing.

So they made rush for Uncle Earle

Tired Birds at Sea

On May IA, on our way down from
Poti. in the Russian Caucasus, a dense
fog came down on us in the evening.
The next morning about IL o'clock it
lifted and bird like night jar, sew
eral Iarks and some large kind of buz-
zard stayed on board for some hours,
quite tame.
The same afternoon I noticed a small
board floating on the sea with a bird
like a sparrow hawk sitting on it,
which when within 20 yards of us flew
away. About 6 p. m. the fog came on
thick again. About z p. IN. great fiocks
of swallows came on the Ship and
at least 500 to 1000 were soon asleep.
They were not in the least disturbed
by the fog horn going every few min
utes; they were so dead beat that they
would let US almost touch them.

down the pitchfork quickly and cried

Cole DeVe!opment

The inclined shaft of the Cole mine located about three miles from the property of the Gibson Copper com pany is now down to the $50 foot point and the excellent showing of high grade ore that has prevailed there for a long time past has improved still further in appearance. The chaIco- pyrite that has been running up into high percentages of copper is, if any thing, richer than ever, and also, the amount of chalcopyrite is steadily in creasing. The occurrence of these ores in conjunction is regarded by some mining men as a reasonably sure proof that at depth this mine will de velop into a producer of sulphide ore yielding readily to concentration. Moreover, the amount. of high grade ore that undoubtedly exists on the upper levels will, when properly op- ened, give it's owners a rich return on their investment. Already a large quantity of high grade ore has been taken from the Cole mine and at pres ent profitable shipments could be made from the dump if the manage ment of the mine considered it expe- dient to begin production
