THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all SIZE got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes vel.
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

followed close behind without ques-
tion. A dozen rods up the patch Neil
turned into D dense thfcket OF briars
and underbrush and for ten minues
they plunged through the painless
jungle. Now and then Nathaniel saw
the three red stripes OF the whipper's
lash upon the bare shoulders Of the
man ahead and TO these every step
seemed to add new wounds made by
the thorns. AS they anne out upon
an old roadway the captain stripped
on his coat and Neil thrust himself
into 1t as they ran
Even In these first minutes of their
flight Nathaniel was thrilled by an
other thought than that of the peril
behind them. Whom had he saved?
Who vas this clear-eyed young fellow
for whom the girl had SO openly sac
rificed herself at the whipping post,
about whom she had thrown her arms
and covered with the protection of her
glorious hair? With his Joy at having
served her there was mingled a chill
ing doubt as these questions formed
themselves In his mind. Obadiah's
vague suggestions, the scene in the
kings room, the night visits of the
girl to the councillors cabin-and last
of all this incident at the Jail flashed
upon him now with another meaning,
with a significance that slowly cooled
the enthusiasm in his veins. He was
sure that he vas al the solution of
the mysterious events in which he had
become involved, and yet this knowl-
edge brought with 1t something of ap-
prehension, something which made
him anticipate and yet dread the mo-
ment when the fugitive ahead would
stop in his flight, and he might ask
him those questions which would at
least relieve him Of his burden of
doubt. They had travelled a mile
through forest unbroken by path or
road when Neil halted on the edge of
a little stream that ran into a swamp.
Pointing into the tangled fen with a
confident smile he plunged to his
waist In the water and waded slowly
through the slough into the gloom of
the densest alder. A few minutes later
he turned in to the shore and the soft
bog gave place to firm ground. Be
fore Nathaniel had cleared the stream
he saw his companion drop to his
knees beside a fallen log and when
he came up to him he was unwrapping
a piece Of canvas from about a gun.
With a warning gesture he rose to
his feet and for twenty seconds the
men stood and listened. No sound
came to them but the chirp Of a star
tied squirrel and the barking of a dog
in the direction of st. James.
They haven't turned out the dogs
yet" said Neil, holding a hand against

Work and Marriage.

In the New York courts recently a
girl, aged II, on being told by her
mother that she was old enough to
go to work, replied: Work, will
not: / prefer to marry" Whereupon
she vas married before night to a
young man earning So per week.
This is of a piece with the reasoning
of another girl who, being interro-
gated by a friend, where are you
working now, Mamie?" answered
promptly, Il amt working; I'm mar
ried."-Boston Herald.

MRS. CHILDERS IS POISONED
SMITHVILLE LADY DIED BEFORE
DOCTOR COULD REACH HER.
Took Deadly Draught in Place of a
Harmless Drug. Had Been Mar
ried Only Six Months.


Harmless Drug. Had Been Mar
ried Only Six Months.
Thinking the drug she was taking
was a harmless dose of sal hepatica
Mrs. Eta Childers of Smithville
swallowed a dose of strychnine, or
some unknown poison, which caused
her death before a physician could
reach her.
Mrs. Childers who was the wife
of Mr. Maud Childers, had been sit
ting in the parlor of the Simpson Ho-
tel chatting pleasantly with friends
only few minutes before her death.
Though in the best of spirits she had
complained of feeling slightly i'll
soon after the noon hour. She left
the circle of friends where she had
been conversing with the declaration
that she intended to take a dose of
medicine.
Within short time after she had
swallowed the supposedly harmless
drug Mrs. Childers was seized byI
paroXySms, and died before medical
aid could reach her Upon the arriv-
al of a physician it was learned that
the bottle from which Mrs, Childers
had taken the medicine was not sal
hepatica, as had been supposed, but
that some other powerful drug had
displaced or been mixed with the
contents. A teaspoonful of the un-
known poison taken in place of sal
hepatica, which latter would have
been harmless, caused death in a
very short time. Strychnine is sup
posed to have been contained in the
bottle, though no definite analysis
has been made. How the poison
came to be in the bottle is a mys-
terry, as there is no knowledge of
anyone having tempered with the
contents, while no motive for suicide
is entertained.
Prior to her marriage only about
six months ago Mrs. Childers was
Miss Eta Richardson of Smithville.
A post norton examination was
conducted and portion of the stom-
ach sent to the state chemist in At
lanta for analysis.
