CHAPTER xII-Continued.

There was another pause, broken only by the rustic of leaves and the rushing of the river.
 "Beulah was right" he said, at last. "Beulah is a wonderful girl, and beautiful"
 "She will not be wanting to go back home with us," said the mother.
 "So much the better. Mary, Mary, we have no home to go back to!'
 She looked at him with a sudden puzzled, half-frightened expression. "No home, John? No home? You don't mean thatT
 He nodded and turned his face away. '1 said I hadn't told you all." he managed at length. T sold the farm."
 She was sitting on a fallen log, very trim, and gray, and small, but she seemed suddenly to become smaller and grayer still.
 "So1d the old farm," she repeated, mechanically.
 "Yes, I sold the old farm," he said again, as if finding some delight in goading himself with the repetition. T thought l saw chance to make q lot of money if only I had some ready cash to turn in my hand, and sold 1t. l thought I would be rich and then would be happy. But they took the money last night. They found out about it some way, and took 1t, and nearly killed our boy. Mary, you worked hard all your life, and today you have nothing. I brought you to this"
 She saw it all, and for the moment her heart shrank within her. But she saw, too, the futility of it all. She might have upbraided him; she might have returned in part the sorrows he had forced upon her, for he was wounded now and could not strike back. But she rose and stretched her arms toward him.
 You said I had nothing John. You are wrong. have you. I have every thing!''
 And 1t was to you, beloved, to you, a woman of such great soul, that I could do this thing. should be utterly wretched. But I'm not" He spoke slowly and delib- erately, as one having ample time, ana with the diction of earlier years. should be securing the valleys with troop of men, hunting for our money. But I'm not. It seems such puny thing, it's hardly worth the while-eA- cept for the happiness it might bring to you, and Beulah."
 When they returned to the house it was almost evening, and they found the doctor from town busy over Allan. 'Would have killed nine men out of ten," he told Harris, quite frankly; "but this boy is the tenth. He's bad Ny hurt, but he'll pull through, if we can arrest any infection. His consti- tuition and his clean blood will save him."
 Before the doctor left Arthur in- quired if the police had any further details of the crime. Harris appeared to have lost interest in everything ex- cept the members of his family.
 Quite a mystery" said the doctor. "I understand one of the robbers was shot, and will go on up from here to make an examination, as coroner. To- morrow the police will bring out a $ury. and formal verdict will be re-

A Stiff Upper Lib.

Keeping a stiff upper lip is all right but there's nothing cOmmendable about it. Everybody keeps a stiff un- per lip: has to. The upper lip can't be anything but firm. Ever watch a child overcome by emotion? It's the under lip that trembles, and then the jaw drops, to open an exit for the roar. Next time tell him to keep a stiff lower lip. It won't sound right, it will lack punch and probably will fail to inspire the subject to the proper de gree of steadfaStneSs, but you'll have the approval of the purist.-LOuisvillo Herald.

Minstrel" in Audience.

At an amateur minstrel show one of the minstrels asked what was the diff ference between a man in love and a woman in love.
 Il don't know" said the interloeu- tor, "what is it?"
 ''Well," replied Rastus, "a woman in love acts like a darn fool and a man isn't acting"
 There was a pause and then a voice in the audience said in a tone loud enough to be heard by all around :: You must be in love, then.'

Father Johns Medicine

"We have been using Father Johns Medicine for ten years, we are never without 1t and we have found nothing to equal it. If we feel a cold coming on the first thing is to take Father Johns Medicine.

 During the eleven weeks that I

Wherever I went I found that people had an intensive interest in drink. and persons. who, prior to prohibition. were either abstainers or moderate drinkers, found themselves in some mystical maner obliged to make 3 lavish display of the contents of their cellars. The most eligible girl iny any town in America today is the girl who can brew the best beer.
