be no mistake about it, although he
had made some brave talk to Bivens
face as he stared at the daring display
Of his money.
He lifted his eyes from the fire and
they rested on an exquisite miniature
of Nan which had been painted just
after her marriage He forgot the ten
black years of loneliness and struggle.
He was standing before her again in
all the pride and strength of those last
days of passionate longing and bitter
rebellion His heart gave throb of
fierce protest against the fate that had
robbed him of the one thing on earth
he had ever really desired He tried
in vain to separate her from the strug-
gle of character and principle he was
lighting with Bivens
When Bivens entered he found his
tall figure bent low in the chair and a
scowl on his face The little black eyes
sparkled with the certainty of victory
He knew the poison was at work and
its wine had found the soul

The assurance in Bivens' voice and
the contagious enthusiasm with which
he spoke impressed Stuart
Bivens was quick to recognize 1t and
strike at once.

Bivens led the way into the room

of the directors of his many corpora

office was sight that held him spell

with the tips of his slender little
fingers

cording to Scrip
ture this period will end thousand
years hence, when Christ will deliver
up the Kingdom to God. Then the
tiftieth Thousand Year Period begins,
with all creation assembling praise to
the Father and to the Son, forever. In
Bible usage, Sepen is symbolical of per-

"Let There Be Light"
The Genesis account is in full ac-
cord with facts known to Science.
There was no light in the Earth until
Divine Energy brooded on the waters.
The account suggests an electrical ln-
fiuence and light, somewhat resembling
the Aurora Borealis. The earth was

Day, under the Divine Energy, gradu-
ally prepared for the next Epoch.
On the Second Day, or Epoch, was
established ornament Doubtless
the light had to do in natural way
with this. me armament was com
pleted with the Second Day.
In the Third Day, or Epoch, earth
quakes took place. mountains were
thrown up, and the waters gathered
into seas, draining off land surface
Forthwith vegetation sprang up. The
account does not say that God made
grasses, trees. etc, but that under Di-
vine command the earth brought forth
these various kinds. Nothing in the
Genesis account lnterferes with an ev-
dictionary theory as respects vegeta-
ton. Thus the Third Day accomplish
ed it's purpose.
According to the VaiIian Theory, the
Earth was once surrounded by gaseous
rings and belts, similar to those of Sa-
turn and Jupiter, thrown off TO great
distance, when the Earth was in a
molten state. Held off by the firma-
ment, they spread out like great cur
tain, causing darkness. Then, infiu-
enced by the rotation of the Earth,
they ravitated toward the poles, grad
ually cooling. Finally they broke. one

Trees.

A tree is stick made of various kinds of wood, that rises from the ground to a great height, and is covered in summer with leaves and insects, and if it bears fruit, with small boys.
 Trees are used to hold up ham mocks. and may cause much dam age when these hammocks are oc- cupied by pretty girls. Trees, like dogs, are known by their barks.
 Trees are tall, short, thick and thin and sometimes nude. In cold weather nude trees stand around and invite immortality. Spring, the only modest thing left, comes along once year and covers them up Then autumn tells them what is going to happen to them a little later. which makes them all blush
 Trees are very polite. They spend their time in holding to one an other. Even if a big storm comes along they all bow to it. Yet some of them-such as the wild cherry the green apple and the peach cause much needless pain.-Life.

CONFIRMED PROOF.
Residents of Mena Cannot Doubt
 What Has Been Twice Proved.

In gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs from distressing kidney ills thousands have publicly recom- mended Doan's Kidney Pills, Resi- dents of this vicinity who so testi- fled years ago, now say the results were permanent. This testimony doubly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Pills to Mena kidney suf- fererS.
 Mrs. s. E. Wiggins, Rose Hill De Queen, Ark, says: T gave a state ment some years ago to the effect that Doan's Kidney Pills had been used by one of my relatives and had been very successful in cur ing a severe and long standing case of kidney complaint. Today gladly confirm my former word of praise for this remedy, for I know that the benefit it brought has been permanent. I have been thoroughly convinced of the su- perior curing powers of Doan's Kidney Pills, for almost daily in- stances are brought to my attention where they have done good work.

The first impulse of the banker had been to send the story forth to the world, to harass and eventually cap ture his brother; but his foresight becoming normal, he realized that silence was best, even if his brother escaped. If the depositors heard that the bank had been entered and a mll' lion taken from the vaults, there would naturally follow a terrific run.
 When the last bag had been taken out of the library and the banker and the police had gone, the bell rang George went to the door. A messen- ger handed him small satchel and a note.

 Neither pretty nor plain, the woman maintained, despite the judges searching interrogation, that the young priest took his own life.
