side was a linen bag, and in the bag,
he found eight thousand dollars in
Revolutionary era gold.
Nobody saw Sim make the discovery
except two village boys who were
watching him furtively through
crack in the fence. The story, spread
through the village, recounted that,
after the find, Sim sat down and ran
his fingers through the gold for half
an hour and more.
Everybody soon had news of the
treasure. For a week nobody saw
Sim Lane or his wife or girl, except
| that the druggist fancied he had seen
| the women hurry with averted faces
through the streets toward the depot
one evening. However, week later
there was a sensation in Colville.
Mary Lane, looking ten years young
err, and Amanda, the girl, walked
| quietly up the street toward the
church one Sunday. They were
dressed in decent clothes, there was q
gold bracelet on Amandas wrist and
they were altogether transformed.
Youths who had never favored Aman-
da Lane with second look stared af-
ter her She was positively beautiful.
great sensation followed the next
day. when the local builder called to
excavate for the barn and talked OF
renovating the farmhouse. The coal
dealer followed, and then furniture
man from the city. And on the Sun
day following Sim Lane went to
church with the women, in white lin
en- and new broadcloth suit And
soon there were callers at the cot
tage.
Mrs. Lane opened her mouth not un
reluctantly to her friends.

PROPER DIET FOR INVALID
Food That Will Be Agreeable to Sick
Room Should Be Subject OF
Much Consideration.

The following mixture will prove
of great value as tonic, toning up
and feeding the nerves and preventing
sleeplessness Take several beetroots,
cut up and boil until very tender. Re-
move from the water and boil the LID
uid down until it becomes strip.
Take this in doses ranging from a
small wine glassful to half pint, two
or three times day before meals.
The beet is full of valuable sub
stances that make it one of the most
effectual tonics that can be taken.
The good effects on the nerves and
general health quickly become appa-
rent. Rest and careful dieting, with
plenty of milk, are also advisable in
order to secure permanent relief.
Very often good boiled custard can
be served with advantage with fruit
to invalids. The fruit adds attractive
ness to the custard and SO tempts the
appetite. A few prunes, neatly cut in
pieces, can be covered with custard
and dates can be used III the same
way. Orange pulp cut in dice can
also be added to it, or spoonful oil

SIMS HOARD
By HAROLD CARTER.

Sim Lane was the meaneSt man IN
Colyille. Though he came of decent
old family, and had, in fact, had the
chance of going to college in his
youth, his fathers impoverishment
seemed to have turned the wine OF
life into vinegar for him. He settled
down on what was left of the farm.
and eked out miserable existence
together with his slatternly wife and
the daughter who always looked half
starved.
1t was a shame, everybody agreed.
His miserliness had grown on him
with age. The cottage was cold as
an icehouse in winter because he
burned fagots, picked up in the woods.
instead of coal. Mrs. Lane looked
more and more disreputable, and the
daughter more hungry. He was un'
popular in the village, and the boys
used to shout taunts after the skulk-
ing figure.
A new barn had to be built. and, at.
ter much haggling, Lane skimped
down the contractor to the lowest fig
ure for shoddy work. Then, to save
money, he set to and started on the
| foundations himself. 1t was while he
| was digging them-dynamite being an
expense to which he would not cater
that his pick struck something hard
er than earth and more resonant than
| stone.
Presently Sim unearthed metal
box, rusted with age. With trembling
fingers he managed to get it open. In

Where courtships Are' Long.

Young ladies in Russia are not at
all averse to long engagements, and
use all sorts of articles to stave of
the wedding day as long as possible,
but in no country in the world are
courtships so abnormally long as in
Bohemia, where engagements com
monty last from fifteen to twenty
wears. In fact, there recently died
there, at the age of ninety-nine, an
old man who had been counting Tor
II wears and who was married on
his death bed.

stamped on one side. and ST. George
and the dragon on the other.
Presently Sim said to me, I've got
four thousand more. and / guess our
scrimping days are over, wife Well,
at first didn't understand. But then
he told me. And so the four thousand
is going to be spent-yes, spent,
Ma am, and the eight thousand Sim
has got laid away where no banks go
ing to get hold of it and then burst
up on him. Amandas going to enter
college next term. and guess the
neighbors won't think so hardly of
Sim in future. when they see that it
was all on account of his wife and
child"
There was no doubt as to the mag
nitude Of the change that came over
Sim Lane. The whole nature of the
daughter came back from college the
village had forgotten his misery repu-
tation. Secure in the knowledge of
the eight thousand gold dollars hidden
in the mattress. he spent freely. With
this change, too, his farming began
to prosper Ten years afterward.
when Amanda was happily married to
the young man who had called, and
the mother Of children, Sim Lane was
elected mayor.
OF the two boys who had watched
him through the fence. one was q
thriving lawyer, the other who attend
ed Sim in his last illness. Mrs. Lane
had died the year before. which made
the lawyers ordeal less hard. A few
weeks after the funeral he had a pri.
, vate interview with Amanda, who first
looked indignant. and then laughed.
She could afford to laugh, for her hus.
band was the richest young man in
Colville.
II Sim Lane, on his deathbed, had
known what the watchers knew, he
might have smiled ironically at the
life he was leaving, wherein shams
pass for truth. and delusion for re.
atty. All the eight thousand, and
fifteen thousand more, he left his
daughter. The mourners followed the
body to the grave, and then the truth
came out.
Jim and l." said the lawyer, had
often shouted at the old man. as boys
WILL but it was Jim who conceived
the idea. You see, Jim had always
had laundering for theater folks, and
when the p. Sinett troupe went broke
and started to walk back to the me-
tropolis along the ties, they had to sell
the property for what it would fetch.
Nobody was willing to give more
than few dollars for the scenery,
and then only long speculation But
some of the stuff brought in enough
to pay the ladies' fare halfway. And
there were odds and ends left over
that nobody wanted to touch. They
were all afraid of the property money
1t looked too real-lead stamped and
gilded. Country folks have vague
fears of the law.
That's how Jim got that bag Of
fake gold, and he said to me what 8
joke it would be to bury it in the ole
man Lanes barn. and watch his face
when he found it, We didn't know
that we were bestowing Gods provi
dence upon his wife and daughter
Changed the whole nature of the MAJ
and sent him happy to his grave
Yes, sir, life is a queer problem, bn
the moral l get out of it is, let thu
morrow take care of itself" At least
: Sims fears and terrors might hav
been with him to the grave, instead
> of being dropped when he sewed VI
eight thousand dollars of fake none
inside the mattress"
