His heart was humping loudly, his
senses swan. Walking to the veran-
dah rail he looked out across the
mooDlit sound, then down at the Sc
lected nook over against the garden
wall-spot to be immortalized!-and
actually shivered In ten minutes
time, or even less she would be down
there in his arms! Exquisite medita-
tlons!
He turned to her with an engaging
smile. in which she might have dis
cerned a prophecy. and asked her to
come with him for stroll along the
wall. And so he cast the die.
Hetty sent swift, appealing look
at sara's purposely averted face. Les
lie observed the act, but misinterpret-
ed its meaning.
"Oh, It is quite warm" he said
quickly. you won't need wrap" he
added. and In spite of himself his
voice trembled. or course she wouldn't
need wrap!
Il have few notes to write" said
Sara, rising. She deliberately avoid
ed the look in Hetty's eyes. "You will
find me in the library"
She stood in the doorway and
watched them descend to the terrace,
a sphinx-like smile on her lips. Hetty
seemed very tall and erect as one go
ing TO meet a soldiers fate.
Then Sara entered the house and
sat down to wait
A long time after a door closed
stealthily in a distant part OF the
house-the sun-parlor door, she knew
by direction.
A few minutes later an upstairs
door creaked on its hinges. Some one
had come in from the mellow night
and some one had been left outside

CHAPTER xI.

The next day but one was overcast.
On cloudy. bleak days Hetty Castle

Leslie was to return from the wilds
on the following day. Early in the
morning Booth had telephoned to in.

long walk with him before luncheon.
The portrait was finished, but he
could not afford to miss the morning

and was instantly surprised to find
that her voice rang with new life, new
interest. The grayness seemed to lift
from the view that stretched beyond
the window; she even looked for the
sun in her eagerness.
1t was then that she knew why the
world had been bleaker than usual.
even in its cloak of gray.
A little before eleven she set out
briskly to intercept him at the gates.
Unknown to her, Sara sat in her
window, and viewed her departure
with gloomy eyes. The world also
was gray for her.
They came upon each other unex.
| pectedly at sharp turn In the ave-
nue.. Hetty colored with sudden
rush Of confusion, and had all she
could do to meet his eager, happy
eyes as he stood over her and pro-
claimed his pleasure in jerky, awk.
ward sentences. Then they walked
on together, strange shyness at.
tending them. She experienced the
faintness of breath that comes when
the heart is filed with pleasant
alarms. AS for Booth, his blood sang
He thrilled with the Joy of being near
her, OF the feel of her all about him
Of the delicious feminine appeal that
made her so wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her in his arms, to
keep her there forever, to exert al
of his brute physical strength so that
she might never again be herself but
part of him.
They uttered commonplaces. The
spell was on them. 1t would lift, bu'

Dedicated to Prudence A. Smith, by
her Father, q. Dallas Conley.

A dream so mysterious and so strange,
Occurred to me al Christmas time
We still are one despite the change,
A dream impotent yet sublime.
With an Illuminating flash OF love,
That should hear from a loved one unseen,
With intention insted from above
To wait till sepulchral silence interviewed.
Strange, mystifying, obviously doubtful STILL
But from heart so loving, kind and pure,
Filled with enthusiasm and will
That the dream OF promise would endure
And in expectant wonder letter came TO me,
! come, deiying wrecks and danger to meet you,
And see my father face to face.
The uncompromiSing answer due.
With no definite reason to explain,
But conscious OF a feeling OF exultatiOn.
Sub-consciouS intelligence lead the way again.
And doomed TO meet each other with elaboration.
The idea mistaken as in my dream in lonely hours
That should hear TO cause our meeting,
What could occur 10 shatter the powers.
Or make sordid diminition OF our greeting2
Then with an excess of happiness to share,
And instinct OF inherited memory which brings
In the twilight OF my life loving daughters care
Waited with love on childlike golden wings.
She craved parental love, with loving heart,
Which so long has been blank in her life
With dragon unknown 10 her kept us apart,
charm Tor me, human heart, serene and free
from strife.
But as the shadows are deepening in my old days,
The meeting has made us one forever;
II has caused change in my life and WAYS,
That time and death can only sever.
Come and gone like the oceans mist
To me seems tragic in extreme.
Like a fairy only to beguie, insist
But goddess for me TO esteem.
oh. could il have been dream of madness.
Where the sparks OF life and temper fly,
Or is flare OF God-given gladness,
To make us happy till we die 2
It's from the dream for us TO realize.
A vision in our minds to contemplate
It's love in unison, compromise,
lnvincible destiny, kindred law OF fate
May we never have cause to be broken-hearted,
And love each other till the final hour shall come
Through mystery We met. in love we parted,
And may il endure till day OF DOOM

ONCE the undisputed boss of the Repub-
lican party in West Virginia, former Sem
ator N. B. Scott is now political outcast,
with none TO do him reverence. In Chi
cago on Monday he was ruthlesSly kick
ed out OF his position as national commit
teeman for this State, and William Sey-
mour Edwards was elected in his place
by the West Virginia delegation. Senator
Scott, who couldn't grasp the meaning OF
the word progressive and was a standpat-
ter long after that was fashionable atti
tude, was for President Taft's renomina-
ton, while Mr.. Edwards is a redhot
Roosevelt man.
With all their enthusiasm for Roosevelt,
however, the West Virginians were not
blind to the thing that counts most in pol
itics. Before cutting off the supply from
the Scott bar'l they made sure that there
would be no failure from the source Of
supply on the part of the new committee
man. II is said that Mr.. Edwards has
an income Of several thousand dollars
day from his oil wells, besides other gen.
erous increment, and he has given salts
factory proof that he isn't going to be
bit stingy with it,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Dear Brethren-Your committee ap.-
pointed to draft minute, setting forth
Gods goodness toward Our brother.
Rev. H. c. Haithcox, d. D., in having
been permitted to celebrate, with his es..
teemed wife, the fiftieth anniversary OF
their welded life, would offer the follow
ing for your consideration:
Whereas, In the Providence OF God,
our brother, Rev. H. c. Haithcox, ID. D.,
entered upon the marital state during the
dark DAYS of the republic, when the
clouds of war hung heavily over the coun-
try, and when it was the high duty OF ev-
ery man to be true to that which his heart
dictated, as to his temporal affairs as well
as to the spiritual interests committed TO
his care; and, believing that both these
required the assistance OF an helpmeet,
he fulfilled the command OF God, and
took unto himself one who should walk
by his side and be counsellor in the life
and position TO which they had attained;
and
Whereas, In due time the clouds of war
were lifted, peace was proclaimed be-
tween the North and the South, and the
sun shoHe brightly over the Union which
had been formed and returning to his
home and duties, entered upon state OF
preparation for higher and holier duties,
in which he would be of greater use to
the Captain OF our Salvation, enlisted I'M
der His banner for life in the work OF the
Christian ministry, he has done noble
work in the army of the Lord, in pro-
claiming the truth as il is in Christ Jesus,
our Lord and Master; therefore, be if .
Resolved /, That we the members OF
the Ministerial Association of Shepherds
town, West Virginia, do hereby tender
to the Rev. H. G. Haithcox, d. D., and
wife, our most sincere and hearty con-
gratulationS, because OF the great mercy
our Father in Heaven has vouchSafed TO
them in permitting them to live happily a
half a century, in their family relation,
and that we earnestly join in the prayer
that they may long be spared to enjoy the
continued blessings from the same source.
Resolved 2, That as mercy and bless
ing have smiled on the path OF these faith
full servants Of the church for fifty years,
and provided them with bodily and splr-
itual supplies hitherto, so we pray may
the same source extend His full hand in
the years to come, until they do set their
pilgrim staff in the corner, and they be
gathered 10 their fathers in heaven.
May God bless this dear brother in
Christ, and his esteemed companion, and
keep them safely in this probationary life;
and give them place, finally, in the life
to come, for His great names sake.
Amen.
By order of the Ministerial Association.

Resolutions of Esteem By Virginia
Chassis.

To the Reverend Chassis of Virginia:
Dear Brethren - Your committee to
draft a minute in reference TO the reSig-
nation OF the Rev. J. David Miller as pas
tor of the Shepherdstown charge, and his
retirement from the active ministry, re-
specially submit the following for your
adoption:
Resolved, That il is with profound re-
grets that we are asked to dissolve the
relations holding between the Rev. J.
David Miller and the Shepherdstown
charge. AS the years of his association
with this Chassis have gone by, we have
learned more and more TO appreciate his
lovable disposition his clean, sound
Judgment, the product OF ripe expert
ence, has been of great value to this body
in its deliberations and we feel that his
retirement from the active ministry, II
this means a withdrawal from member
ship in the Chassis, will be distinct loss
to us.
We recognize his worth and efficiency
in the pastoral charge he is reSigning. A
strong spiritual preacher, a wise, consid-
crate, loving pastor, he has accomplished
a work the good results OF which will
long abide. OF him it can be truly said
He tried each art. reprovd each dull delay,
Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way,
We wish that he had seen his way clear
to remain a longer time with us in the &C
tive ministry; but trusting in his own
wiser judgment in the matter, we yield
without protest to his request. Wishing
him many years OF health and happiness,
concluding only with an entrance into the
higher and better life, we close this min
ute with the request that he continue his
name on our Chassis roll.
Respectfully submitted,
]. SILoR GARRISON,
Chairman of Committee.
The above minute was unanimously
adopted by rising vote.

In every department you will find
some things you may need at great

In China, Glass and Bric-a-Brac
we find some things that did not
sell so we'll, or we bought too heav-

over we begin the New Year by
making sweeping reductions before
we take stock. Our Grocery Stock
is full and complete, with every
thing to supply your wants during

THE vote by which DR.. Hatfield was
nominated for Governor on the Republi-
can ticket proves very conclusively that
the black belt of West Virginia dictates
the candidates OF that party, and it like
wise shows that they must still be voting
the bulldogs and mine mules in Mingo
and Mcdowell counties. AT the general
election four years ago it was thought
that the limit of repeating and cheating
had about been reached. But at the re-
cent Republican primary DR.. Hatfield
and his friends showed their usual re-
sourcefulness and rolled up majority
ample for the exigencies OF the occasion.
The figures will show how they accumu-
late votes in that section. Four years
ago in Mcdowell county high-water
mark was reached with vote of 6,l67
for President Taft. At the primary cleo
ton couple OF weeks ago DR.. Hatfield
alone received !, l44 votes, while Dillon
got ,065 and Swisher ITS, a total of s, 1884.
In Mingo four years ago the total Repub-
lican vote was 2,05S. At the primary
Hatfield received 2,93S, Dillon 81 and
Swiser "a, total of 1908. The same
sort of fraud was prevalent in Mercer,
Fayette and other counties, the primary
vote largely exceeding that at the general
election.
This fraud against other aspiring Repub-
licans and the Democratic candidates has
become dangerous thing, and the des-
perate men who are its beneficiaries do
not stop even at the crime of murder
when their plans are interfered with, if
we are to believe the testimony Of relia-
bic persons. Thoughtful voters of both
parties should consider we'll before they
permit those responsible for these condi-
tons to stir1 further entrench themselves
IN power.

THE astonishing fact was made known
the other day by Congressman Redfield,
of New York, that the people OF this
country are paying atariff Of SIS, 100 every
day on potatoes imported into the United
States. This enormous sum, in addition
TO the scandalously high price that the
tariff compels the consumer to pay on
the home grown product, is robbery
without any justification whatever-and
il is only one OF thousands of similar in
Justices.

THE colored politicians from the South
have been thorn in the flesh OF the Re-

OF money to get them in the harness, and
then they wouldn't stay hitched. Even
