her alone She never liked the man.
She knew him to be unprincipled as
well as vicious One night he brought
Howard Jeffries to the restaurant.
They seemed the closest of cTonies
and she was sorry to see what bad
influence the elder sophomore had
over the young freshman, to whom
she was at once attracted. Every
time they came she watched them and
she noticed how under his mentor
Howard became more hardened. He
drank more and more and BECAME a
reckless gambler. Underwood seemed
to exercise a baneful spell over him.
She saw that he would soon be ruined
with such a man as Underwood for a
constant companion. Her interest In
the young student grew. They be-
came acquainted and Howard, not
realizing that she was older than he,
was Immediately captivated by her
vivacious charm and her common
sense views They saw each other
more frequently and their friendship
grew until one day Howard asked her
to marry him.
While she sometimes blamed her
self for having listened too willingly
to Towards pleadings, she did not
altogether regret the step she had
taken. It was most unfortunate that
there must be this rupture with his
family, yet something within told her
that she was doing Gods work-sav
ing a mans soul Without her, How
ard would have gone swiftly to ruin,
there was little doubt Of that His af-
lection for her had partly, If not
wholly, redeemed him and was keep
ing him straight He had been good
to her ever since their marriage and
done everything to make her COM
guard on the elevated road, but
caught cold and was forced to give
it up. She wanted to go to work
again, but he angrily refused. That
alone showed that he was not entirely
devoid of character He was I'M
fortunate at present and they were
poor, but by dint of perseverance he
would win out and make a position
for himself without his fathers help.
These were their darkest days, but
light was ahead. AS long as they
loved each other and had their health
what more was necessary?
"Say, Annie, have an idea," sud
denly blurted out Howard.

HAPPY WOMEN.
Plenty of Them in FL Paso and Good
Reason For 1t.

Wouldn't any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
Days of misery, nights OF unrest,
The distress of urinary troubles,
She finds relief and cure?
No reason why any Ell Paso reader
Should suffer in the face of evidence
like this:
Mrs. H l. Packard. Gil Texas Street,
FL Paso, Texas, says: 'Doan's Kidney
Pills have been used in our house for
over year and their merit has been
amply proven, The person having oc-
casion to take this remedy, complained
of pain in the small of the back and
right side and at times the suffering
was so acute that it was almost impos-
sible for the patient to turn in bed. AS
soon as Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at Kelly & Pollard's drug store were
used the condition of the patient i'm
proved and there has been but little
trouble since. I highly recommend

ferers."

An Easy Swindle.

The facility with which a swindle
may be perpetrated on the CONNER
cially alert and astute has been again
demonstrated by the experience Of one
banking firm and a jewelry house in
Washington. A man posing as a lieu
navy. and giving a name as such not 20
be found in the official Navy Register,
succeeded in getting away with 5000
worth OF United States bonds and a $3.50
diamond ring. lie did this by means OF
forged certified checks and by telling
plausible story TO the local bankers that
he did not want cash. but preferred some
good negotiable paper. as he was about
TO go abroad on a prolonged trip and
did not wish 10 carry with him a large
amount of money. The mans appear
ance bore out his story. as he was suit
ably arrayed and bore himself with a
military air and general lools OF pros
periy and refinement"
The performance compeis a certain sort
of admiration, for the reason that it was
conducted with such success in a city
where the facilities OF verifying the
strangers story and identifying him were
ample. He could have been promptly
detected for the sharper that he is by
recourse 10 telephone communication
with the Bureau OF Navigation OF the
Navy Department from which II would
have been made known that there was
no such person on tho active or retired
list bearing the name given by the
swindler. 1t was altogether a daring act,
and its complete success was due TO that
fact. II IS safe 10 say that a man Of
honest intentions would have great diff

OF her life. an old woman. and TO hold in
her arms the children Of her children. as
old or older than the babes which she
left over a score or years ago. is the
experience OF Mrs. Jacob Kreiger, OF
Red Oak.
To-day, a sweet-faced, white-halred old
lady, she is living at the home Of her
daughter. Mrs. Edward Swiger. whom
she last saw as a child Of fourteen years

thought that the dementia was Of but a
temporary nature.
As the years passed, Instead Of improv-

she was finally sent TO an asylum for in

with whose peculIarities they had become

These periods gradually becaIae longer,
and finally her condition became such
that she was placed in a cottage pro-

When her two daughters. who live in

The Fate of King Manuel.

When. owing 10 the revolution in his
kingdom and the practical overturning
of the monarchical system in Portugal.
King Manuel had TO fly for his life, there
were many places on the continent OF
Europe where he could have found ref
uge. But most prompt in offering aid
was Great Britain. which sent the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert 10 Gibraltar.
whittier the young King had taken tenn
porary asylum, in preference to Cadiz, in
the neighboring kingdom OF Spain.
Ever since he came to the throne young
Manuel Of Portugal has been popular in
England, and there is no doubt as TO the
welcome he viii be accorded by English
people. Before marrying the late King
Carlos, his mother, Queen Amelie. lived
i'm England for many years. for il was
the residence Of her father, the Compile
de Paris, during his long exile from
France.
II was plain from the beginning that
Great Britain has little or no intention
Of recognizing the republic Of Portugal
When King Manuel was received on
board the royal yacht, the war ships
and the forts saluted him with the hon.
ors due to a reigning monarch, and the
same salvOs OF artillery greet him on
his arrival at Albion's shore.
There have been a good many crlti-
cisms in this country of our State De-
partment because We, the largest republic
on earth, have not been quick to recog-
nize the latest addition to the republics
of the world. Yet, after all, il would
seem that it might be the part of wisdom
not 10 be too precipitate in the matter
Il is very evident that the stronger. gov
ernments Of Europe do not by any
means consider the republic of Portugal
au fait accompn.
While it is probable that none of the
monarehies of Europe will care to lend
any overt helping hand to King Manuel
in his effort TO maintain the Braganza
dynasty. It is already evident that they
I by no means consider the cause OF mon
arehy quite lost in Portugal. In fact.
the situation presents a peculiar if not
unique phase. No longer do we find the
deposed King seeking 10 recover his lost
glory by armed force. In any event,
there is 10 be, We are sure. no invasion
of Portugal nor fighting. II the re-
public is to be overturned. it is to be
done from the inside, and through mod
ern, up-to-date political methods. with
ballots for weapons instead OF bullets.
The Duke Michael of Braganza, who is
the rival claimant of the throne has al
ready pledged his followers to cooperate
in every way against the overthrow of

From the Wichita Beacon.
