Story Of q Bible.

A case that had to do with the theft
OF Bible was before the grand Jury
some time ago and after It had been
disposed OF. George w. Seibert, fore
man OF the jury. related a story in
which a Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Seibert said that his mother had Civ.
en- him an old.fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Seibert needed
money. he said. and had almost de.
cided to dispose Of the Bible. When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind, Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
one day and began turning over the
leaves Of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them In the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. Mr..
Seibert still has the Bible.-Indian.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health Of ev.
cry woman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air Of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest. most
pleasant and certainly effective, Is
combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is q
tonic laxative. mild in its action.
pleasant to the taste and positive in
its effect, strengthening the muscles
Of stomach and bowels so that after
short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func.
tions without assistance.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and

CHAPTER VI.

Betty Sets Out for Tennessee.
Bruce's first memories had to do
with long nights when he perched be-
side his father on the cabin roof OF
their keel-boat and watched the stars
or the blurred line OF the shore where
1t lay against the sky. or the lights on
other barges and RATS drifting as
they were drifting. with their wheat
and corn and whisky, to that com.
mon market ut the rivers mouth.
Bruce Darlington had seen the day
OF barge and raft reach its zenith.
had heard the first steam packets
shrieking whistle. which sounded the
death.knell Of the ancient order.
though the shifting OF the trade was a
slow matter and the glory OF the old
did not pass over to the new at once.
but fingered still in mighty fleets OF
RATS and keel.boats and in the Ho.
meric carousals of some ten thousand
Of the half.hOrse. half-alligator breed
that nightly gathered In New Orleans.
After the reading OF the warrant
that morning, Charley Balaam had
shown Darlington the road to the
Forks. assuring him when they sep.
arated that with little care and
decent use of his eyes 1t would be
possible to fetch up there and not
pass plumb through the settlement
without knowing where he was.
He was on his way to Fayetteville.
where he intended to spend the night.
and perhaps a day or two In looking
around. when the meeting with Betty
and Murrell occurred. Tho girls face
remained with him. It was face he
would like to see again.
He was stil thinking Of the girl
when no ate his supper that night at
Cleggetts Tavern. Later. In the bar.
he engaged his host in idle gossip. lie

that he had thought OF starting north

the coach stopped, for she was in

There were hasty words OF advice
from Ferris. prolonged good.bys to
Judith. tears-kisses-w q place
was being made for her many boxes
and trunks. Darlington gathered that
she was going north to Washington;
that her final destination was some
point either on the Ohio or Missis-
sippi. and that her name was Betty.
Then the door slammed and the stage
was In motion again.
All through the morning they swung
forward In the heat and dust and
glare, and at midday rattled into the
shaded main street OF sleepy village
and drew up before the tavern where
dinner was waiting them.
Betty saw Darlington when she
took her seat. and gave a scarcely
perceptible start OF surprise. Then
her face was flooded with rich col.
or. This was the man who saw her
with Captain Murrell yesterday!
There was brief moment of irreso-
luton and then she bowed coldly.
1t was four days to Richmond. Four
days Of hot. dusty travel. four nights
OF uncomfortable cross-road stations.
where Betty suffered sleepless nights
and the unaccustomed pangs OF early
rising. She occasionally found her
self wondering who Darlington was.
She approved of the manner in which
he conducted himself. She liked q
man who could be unobtrusive.
The next morning he found himself

Charles Evans had a narrow es- cape from being drowned in Kirk land crccr on Tuesday afternoon, while attempting io cross that stream on horseback. Had not a stranger and team appeared, as he was being carried down by the big flow of water i, is said he would have met the same fate as SO many others have in years gone by.
 MT. Evans was riding broncho and had crossed to the side near the mercantile house of l.. J. Harzelfeld. As his horse was ascending the bank it reared backward, throwing the rider into the torrent that was then raging Al the opporiune moment the man driving his team was also crossing. and stepping down to the pole pulled MT. Evans onto the seat He was struggling to get foot hold, and in a few moments more would have passed into deeper wat CT, when it is said he would have been rendered helpless. The creek was carrying the larges, amount of water known in many years and dur ing the day four heavy storms oc- cured. 4 ihirty-inch galvanized iron culvert in small ravinc was picked up several hundred feet from its inoorings.
 All wagon roads leading into and out of Kirkland are reported as bad ly damaged and in many instan- ces are impossible. IL is estimated that five inches of rain fell in two days. and the country is soaked ,o a great depth.
