a heavy metal box which she unlocked

James drew from the box a roll OF

SIMS HOARD
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Sim Lane was the meanest man in
CoiVilie. Though he came of decent
OLD family, and had, in fact, had the
cnance OF going to college in his
youth, his fathers impoverishment
seemed to have turned the wine of
lie into vinegar for him. He settled
down on what was left of the farm.
and eked out a miserable existence
together with his slatternly wife and
the daughter who always looked half
starved.
IL 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. af.
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 a metal
oox' rusted with age. With trembling
fingers he managed to get it open. In.

PROPER DIET FOR INVALID
Food That VIII 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 liz.
uid down until 1t becomes a strip.
Take this in doses ranging from a
small wine glassful to half pint, two
or three times a 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 inyalids. 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 in the same
way. Orange pulp cut in dice can
also be added to it, or spoonful of
apple snow can be placed on top of
a dish of custard.
Spinach on toast is also nice to
serve. Cook some well-washed spin
ach for 20 minutes in boiling sailed
water, drain and rub through a sieve.
Have ready a piece of buttered thin
toast, which has been quickly dipped
in boiling water. Moisten the spinach
with a little melted butter, season
with salt and pepper. and pile neatly
on the toast.

side was 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, a week later
there was a sensation in Colville.
Mary Lane, looking ten years young
or, and Amanda, the girl, walked
quietly up the street toward the
church one Sunday. They were
dressed in decent clothes, there was a
gold bracelet on Amandas wrist, and
they were altogether transformed.
Youths who had never favored Aman-
da Lane with a second look stared af-
ter her. She was positively beautiful.
A 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 a furniture
man from the city. And on the Sun
day following Sim Lane went to
church with the women, in white lin
en- and a new broadcloth suit And
soon there were callers at tho cot
tage.
Mrs. Lane opened her mouth not un
reluctantly to her friends.
Now you'll see that you misjudged
Sim," she said. You see, the thought
that Amanda would have to grow up
without any chances just drove him
wild. And you can't blame him IL he
got a mania for scrimping money to-
gether. It got so that he boarded ev'
