The after effects Of LaGrippc
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves thc system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.

had stood silent, his face white, his
limbs trembling, cold sweat beading
his forehead.

Meekly, with bowed head and down
cast eyes, Darlington suffered her to
lead him aboard the train, which was
now, the tack being clear, about to
move eastward.
Jim Busby sat down upon the edge
of the platform and burst into roar

come should suffice for the support OF
two persons, and hied himself TO Gilt
Gulch, promising to send souvenir post
cards from every municipality he pass

Now, underneath the lurid exagger-
alton with which Mr.. Theodore Tup-
penheim had clothed his narrative OF
the rise Of Gilt Gulch there lay a re-
spectable substratum of truth, and the
combination of BaTrington's ingenious
appearance with certain letters OF In

inent in Gilt Gulch, which Mr.. Tup-
penheim procured for him, resulted IN

be to marry a millionaire
But Susie herself had no Illusions

he must spend the money, let him buy

Gulch and after that take little wed

Der of the commission teachers salaries, IL
The latest gentleman to break into print upon
the ever interesting question of the minimum
salary upon which an individual OF a particular
