WETTIG-1n sad but loving remembrance
Of our dear daughter. Agnes Ruth WettIg.
who departed this life two years ago tc-
day. May is, 1910.
Gone from earth, yes how we miss her;
Tear dlmmed eyes shall gaze In vain:
We shall hear her voice, oh, never,
Never more on earth again.
Home is sad. oh God, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome every spot. D..
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary, for we hear her not.
She was thoughtful, loving. tender.
With us each and every one:
How she suffered, but not rejoicing,
Her JOY in heaven has Just begun;
Past her suffering, past her pain,
Cease to weep, for tears are vain;
Calm the tumult of her breast,
For Ruth who suffered is at rest,
IL by Her Family.

An INGENIOUS Ruse,

Herodotus tells OF an ingenious ruse
employed to carry an important mes
sage through the lines Of the enemy.
Histiaeus, being anxious to give Aris-
tagoras orders to revolt, could think of
no means to send the message to his
ally, as all the roads were carefully
guarded Finally he hit upon scheme.
Calling his trustiest servant to him. he
ordered that the mans hair be shaver
Off. He then pricked the desired mes
sage on the scalp Of the slave and,
waiting until his hair was grown out,
dispatched him upon the errand. The
messenger passed safely through the
lines, and when he reached Aristagoras
his head was again shaved and the
message read.

stock had closed strong the night be-

part. That 1t would go at least 20
points higher nobody seemed to
doubt. for at last the public was fairly
apprised of Its value and the daily
heavy purchases were sending 1t up
ward by leaps and bounds. The prof.
ect back of it was a tremendous un-
dertaking; the value of the franchise
already practically inestimable, and
that the enterprise would be one of
the greatest money-makers OF the

Inhabitants of the city would increase

such charge, but had escaped
through technicality of the law. But
whether there had been chicanery

son why l should not be swept along

Alert of muscles, l stood nervously

ears set to catch the slightest sound.
AS to what LeDuc sought in the cave
like interior where he now rummaged
I had not the vestige of notion. He
had not seen at to enlighten me Of
his own volition, and l had not felt
like going further in an attempt to
raise the screen that he had drawn
between US. SO far as could analyze
his sayings, he had been weaving his
net about Bruce: and should that
prove to be the case, I knew that
when the fnal denouement came, I
should. no matter the evidence he
might be able to produce, array my
self with Glare In desperate rally

Although somewhat tired, my expert
ences of the evening had rendered
me thoroughly wide awake. and slept
very little in the hours that inter-

was positive that he knew his man;
had assured me of his confidence that
he had secured the necessary proof,
