"You seem to get a good deal of fun
out of this kind of weather," observed
Lige. as he wiped ins brow and shifted
his chair into the shade.
"I expect you don't get such Skies
as this up in. Rouen," s id the judge,
looking at the girl fro between his
lazily half closed eyelids
"It's the same Indiana sky, I think,"
• she answered. '
"I guess maybe in the city you don't
sem as much of it or think as mall
about it, then. Yes, they're the In-
diana skies," the old man went on.
"Skies as blue
As the eyes of children when they mil,
at yob.
"There aren't i any ethers anywhere
that ever seemed much like them to
me. They've been company for me all
my life. I don't think there are any
others half as beautiful, and I know
there aren't any as sociable, They
were always. so." He sighed gently,
and Miss Sherwood. nanqed his wife
must have found the Indiana skies as
lovely as he had in the days of long
ago. "Seems to me they are the softest
and bluest and kindest in the world."
"I thinli they are," said Helen, "and
they are more beautiful than the Ital-
ian skies, though I cldubt if rnauy of
us Hoosiers realize it, and *certainly no
one elite does!' .
The old man leaned over and .patted
her band. Harkless gasped. " 'Us
Hoosiers!' " chuckled the indee. "you're
a great Spottier, young lady! Hew
much of your life have you spent in the
• eat*? `Us Hoosiers!' "
"But I'm going to be a good one," oho
answered gayly, "and if I'm good
• enough When I grow up maybe I'll be
a great one."
The buckboard had • been brought
around, and the four young people
climbed In, Harkless driving. Before
they started the judge, standing on the
horse block in frontof the gate, leaned
over and patted Miss Sherwood's hand
i
again. Harkless gathered up the reins.
"You'll make a great Robsier, all
right," said the old man, beaming upon_
the girl. "You needn't worry about
that, I guess, my dear."
When be said "my d,ear," Harkless
sp-ke to the horses.
• "Walt," said the judge, still bolding
the little band. "You'll make a great
Hoosier some day; don't fret. You're
already a very beautiful one." Then
he bent his white head and ldssed her
gallantly,
"Good afternoon, judge," said Johnd:
The whip crocked, and the buckboard
dashed off in a cloud of dust. -
"Every once in Awhile, Harkless," the
Old fellow called after them, "you must
remember to look at the team."
The enormous witite tent was filled
with a hazy, yellow light, the warm,
dusty, mellow light that thrills the re-
joicing heart because it is found no-
where else in the world except in the
tents of a circus, the canvas filtered
sunshine and sawdust atmospbere of
show day.
Here swayed a myriad of palm leaf
fanswhere paraded blushing youth and
-rosy maiden maiden more relentlessly arm in
arm than ever; here crept the octoge-
narian, Mr. Bodeffer, shaking on, cane
and the shoulder of posterity; here
waddled Mr. Snoddy, who had hurried
through the anirnal tent for fear of
meeting the elephant; here mardhed
sturdy yeomen .and stout wives; here
came William, Todd and his true love,
the good William hushed with the em-
barrassments of love,, but looking out
wart& With the white of his eye for
Mr. Martin and determined not to sit
within a hundred _yards of him; here
rolledrin the orbit of habit the town
bacchanal, Mr. Wilkerson, who politely
answered. in kind. all the uncouth roar-
ings and guttural ejaculations of jun-
gle and fen that came from the animal
tent—in brief, here came with lightest
heart the population of Carlow and
part of Amo.
Helen had found a true word; it was
a big family. Jim' Bardio'ck, broadly
smiling and rejuveuated, shorn of de-
pression, paused in front of the "re-
serve" seats,- With Mrs. Baralock ou
his arm, and called loudly to a gentle-
man on a tier -about the level of Jim's
head: "How are ye? I reckon we were
a leetle too smart fer 'em this morning,
huh?" Five 0i, six hundred people, ev-
ery one within. hearing', turned to look
• at Jim, but the gentlenaan addressed
was engaged in conversation with a
lady and did not notice.
"Hi! Hi, there! Say! Mr, Harkless!"
bellowed .Tina informally. The people
turnedeto look at Harkless. His atten-
tion was arrested, and his cheek grew

"What is it?" he asked, a little con-
fused and a good deal annoyed.
"I don't hear what ye say," shouted
Jim, putting his hd.nd to his ear.
"What is it?" repeated the young
Man. "I'll kill that fellow tonight," he.

The Secret of Long Life argl
flow to Overcome Waste.
:To "Know Myself," is te ts.ke advantage
of life's secrets and equip one's self with
an armor which will successfully resist the
attack of disease in
the battle of life.
The old idea of fate
or "kismet," and
that a person al-
ways dies when his
time conies, is now
exploded. Every
mechanism, wheth-
er made by God or
man, has a definite
amount of wear
and its life can be

is given it. If ac-

or the human mecbanism an end come
to its usefulness, but it has not actually

rusty like the wheels of the watch and
only needs a little cleaning and oiling
put it in shape for life's battles.
• An imitation of nature's method of re.
storing waste of tissue and impoverish-
ment of the blood and nervous force I
used when you take an alterative extrac
cif -herbs and roots, without the use of alco-
hol, like Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis-
covery. This -vegetable -medicine coaxes
the digestive functions and helps in the
assimilation of food, or rather enables the
" organs to take from the food just the
nutriment the blood requires.

and 1 found that my system was entirely free
from any of the bad effects of Le Grippe, I
now keep a bottle of the Golden Medical Dis-
covery' on hand, and, when I` catch col4, take a

"swears they'll ketch their evens wids

Mr. Martin rose again. "Don't git

be called out. "Jim '11 protect you."
Vastly -to the young man's relief the
band began to play and the equestrians
and equestriennes capered out from
the dressing tent for the "grand en-
trance," and the performance com-
menced. Through the long summer
afternoon it went on—wonders of
horsemanship and of horsewomanship,
hair raising exploits on wires tight
and slack, giddy tricks on the high
trapeze, feats of leaping and tum-
bling in the rings, while the tireless
•musicians biatted inspiringly tbrough
it all, only pausing long enough to
allovv that riotous jester, the clown.
to ask the ringmaster what he would
do if a young lady came up and kissed
him on the street, and to explode his
witticIems during short intervals of
rest for the athletes.
When if was over, John and Helen
found theniselves in the midst of a
densely packed cntywd and separated
frein•Mies Itriscoe and Lige. People
wore pishing and shoving, and he saw
her face grow pale. He realized with a
pang of sympathy/ how helpless be
would feel if he were as small as she
and. at his utniost height could only
see big, suffocating backs and huge
shoulders pressing down from above.
He WAS keeping them from crowding
heavily upon her with all his strength,
and a royal feeling of protectiveness
came over him. She was so little. And
yet, without the remotest hint of hard-
ness, she gave him such a distinct im-
pression of poise and equilibrium. She
seemed so able to meet anything that
might come, to understand it—even to
laugh at it—so Americanly capable and
sure of the event that, in spite of her
pale cheek, he could. not feel quite so
protective as he wished to feel.
He managed to get her to one of the
tent poles and placed her with her back
to it. Then he set one of his own
hands against it, over her head, brac-
ed himself and stood keeping a little
space about her and. ruggedly letting
• "Thank You. "It was rather trying in
there," she said and looked up into his
eyes with a (Irvine gratitude. .
"Please don't do that," he answered
in a low voice.
"Do what?"'
"Look like that."
She not only looked like that, but
more ,se. "roung man, young man,"
she said, "I fer you're wishful of turn-
ing a. girl's bead."
The throng arms thick around them,
garrillous-and, noisy, but they two were
more richly alone together, to his appre-
ciation, than If they stood on some far
satellite of Mars. He was not to for-
get that moment, and he kept the pic-
ture of her, as she leaned against the
big blue tent pole there, in his heart;
the clear, gra* eyes lifted to his, the
piquant face , with the delicate flush
stealing back' to her cheeks and the
brave little figure that had run se
straight to, bitout of the night shad-
ows. Thene was something about her
and in the moment that suddenly
touehed hint itr-ith a saddening sweet-
ness too keeneto be Wrier The forget -
nae -not finger ,of the .fiying hour that
could not comae again- was laid on hie
soul, and be felt the tears start frora
his heart on their journey to his eyes.
He knew that he should always remem-
ber that moment. She knew it too.
She put her hand to her cheek and
turned away from him a little tremu-
lously. Both were silent.
They bad len together since early
morning. Pla tville was proud, of him.
Many a friendly glance from the folk
who jotted about them favored his
suit and wished both of them well, and
many lips, opening to speak to Hark-
less in passing, closed when their own-
ers, more tactful than Mr. Bardlock,
looked a semmul time.
Old Tom Martin, still perched alone
en his high seat, saw them standing by
the tent pole and witChod them from
under his dusty hat brim. "I reckon
it's bent three or four thousand yeers
sence I was young," he gilled to him-
self. Thenieushiag his hat still farther
down over Os eyes, "I don't believe I'd
ort to rightly look on at that." He
sighed again as he rose and gently
spoke the name of his dealt wife: "Mar-
jie, I reckon you're miglity tired wait -
Intl for we. , It's be'n lonesome some -
Utiles"—
"Do you see that tall old man up
there?" said Helen, nodding her , head
toward Martin. "I think I should like
to know hint. I'm sure I like hini.".
"That is old ,Tom Martin,"
"I know." , •.
"I was sorry and ashamed about all
that conspicuouiness and. shouting. It
must -have been very unpleasant for
you. It naust have been se for a stran-
ger. Please try to forgive me for let-
ting you in forit."
"But I liked:it. It was 'all in the
family,' and it was so jolly and good
natured, and that dear old man was so
bright Do yon know," she -went on in
a low voice, "I don't believe I'm so
much a stranger -1 think I love all
these people a• great deal—in spite of
having known :them only two day."
AU that a wild elthilaration possessed
him. Ile wanted to shake hands with
every soul in the tent, to tell them all
that he loved' them witk his whole
heart; but, what was vastly more im-
portant, she loved them a great deal—
in spite of having known them. only
two due.
He made the horses prance on the
homeward &lire, and once, when she
told him that she had reAd. a good many
of his political columnehin the. Herald,
he ran them into a fence. After this
it occurred to him that they were near-
ing their .destination and had coudN at
a perversely sharp gait, so be held 4Jie
roans down toi a snall's pace (if it be
true that a snail's natural gait is net 0,
trot) for the r st of the way, and. they
talked .of Tent
music, and d
fered widely a
Sferatith and books and
scovered that they
bout !been.
Tbey found Mr. Fisbee in the yard,
talking .to Jadge Briecoe. As they
drove up and before the horses had
quite stopped Helen leaped to the
ground and ran to the old scholar with
both her hands outstretched to him.
Itie looked timidly at her and took the
Lands he gave him; then he produced
from his pocket a yellow telegraph en-
velope, watching her anxiously as she
received it However, she seenied to
attach no particular importance to Ito
and instead of opening it leaned to-
ward him, still holding one of his
bands.
"These awful • old men!" Harkless
groaned inwardly as he banded the
horses over to the judge. "I dare say
he'll kiss her too." But when the ed-
itor and Mr. Willetts had gone it was
Helen who klised Fisbee.
":rhey're coining out to spend. the
evening, aren't they?" asked Briscoe,
nodding to the young men as they set
off down the road.
"Lige has to come whether he wants
to or not," Minnie laughed rather con-
sciously. "It's his turn tonight to look
after Mr. ntarkless,"
"I guess he Won't mind coming," said
the, judge.
"Well," returned his daughter, glanc-
ing, at Helen, who stood apart reading
the telegram te Inisbee, "I know if he
follows Mr. Harkless he'll get here
pretty soon after supper—as soon as
the moon cornes up, anyway."
The editor of the Herald was late to
his evening meal that night. It was
dusk when he' reached the hotel, and
for the first time in history a gentle-
man sat d6wn to meat in that house
of entertainment in evening dress.
There was no one in the dining room
when he went in—the otheiraboarders
had finished, and it wad •Cyntblins

"There's a picture of Henry Clay,"
remarked Landis in obvious relevancy
to his companion's attire—"there's a
picture of Henry Clay somewhere
about the bouse in a swallow tail. Gov-
ernor Ray spoke here iu one, Bodeffer
eays; always wore one, except it was
higher built up in yourn about the col-
lar and had brass buttons, I think.
Ole man Wimby was here again to-

ing the subject. "He waited around fer

The good fellow- was so earimet that
when the editor's supper was finished
and he would. have departed, Landis,
detained him almost by force until the
arrival of Mr. Willetts, who, the land-
_ lore 'sinew, was his allotted. escort for
the evening. When Lige came (wear-

CHAPTER VII.
IllE moon had risen, and there
was a lace of mist along the
• creek when lehn and Helen
reached their -• bench. (Of
curse they went back there,) She
turned to him with a little frown.
"Why have you never let Tom Mere-
dith know you were living so near him
—less than a hundred I/Alex—when he
-nes always liked and admired you
above all the rest of mankind? I know
that he has tried time and again to
hear of you, but the other men wrote
that they knew nothing, that it was
thought you bad gone abroad. I had
heard of you, and so has be seen your
name in the Rouen papers—about the
White Caps and in politics—but he
would never dream of oonaecting the
PIattville Mr, Harkless with his Mr.
Harkless; though I did, just a little, itt
a vague way. I knew you, of course,
when you came into Mr. Halloway's
lecture the other evening. But why
haven't you written to my cousin?"
"Rouen seems rather far away to
me," he answered quietly. "I've been
there only once, half a day on business -
Except that, I've never been much far-
ther than Amo --and then for a conven-
tion or to make a. speech—since I came
here." -
• "Wicked," she exclaimed, "to shut
yourself up like this! I said it was fine
to drop out of the world, but why have
you cut off your old friends from you?
Why haven't you had a relapse now
and then and come over to bear .irsaye
play and Melba sing, or to see Mans-
field or Henry Irving, when we have
had them? And do you think you've
been quite. fair to Tom? Wbat right
had you to assume that he had forgot-
ten you?"
"Oh, I didn't exactly mean forgot-
ten," he said, pulling a blade of grass
to and fro between his fingers and
Fearing at it absent4y. "It's only that
I have dropped out of the -world, you
know. They rather expected me to do
a lot of things, and haven't done
them. Possibly it is because I am sen-
sitive that I never let Toni know. They
expected me to !amount to something.
but I don't belieye his tveleome would
be less hearty ito a failure—he is a
good heart."
"Failure!" she cried and -clapped her
hands and lauglied.
"I'm really not very tragic about it,
though I must seem consumed with
self pity," he returned, smiling. "It is
only that I have dropped out of the
world while Tom is still in. it."
"'Dropped out of the worldn " she
echoed impatiently. "Can't you see
you've dropped into it? That you"—
"Last night I was honored by your
praise of my graceful mode of quitting

ent," she retorted scornfully. "What
becomes of your gallantry whert we
abide by reason?"
"True enough; equality is a denial of
privilege."
"And privilege is a denial ef equal-
ity? I don't like that at all." She
turned a. serious, suddenly illuminated
face ;mon itim and spoke earnestly;

"It's my hobby, I should tell you, and
I'm tired of that nonsense about 'wom-
en always sounding the personal note!
It should be sounded as we would
Sound it And I think we could bear
the loss of 'privilege' "—
He laughed and raised a protesting
hand. "But we couldn't"
"No, you couldn't It's tbe ribbon of
superiority in your buttonhole. I know
several women who manage to live
without men to open doors for them,
and I think I could bear to let a man
°pass before me now and then or wear
his hat in an offlce where I happened
to be, and I could get my own ice at a
dance, I think, possibly with even less
fuss and eeramble than /'ve sometimes
observed in the meting men who have
done it for me. But you know you
would never let us do things for eur-
pelves, no matter what legal equality
might he declared, even when we get
representation for our taxation. You
will never be able to deny yourselves
giving us our 'privilege!' I hate being
waited on! I'd rather do things for
myselfi"
She was so earliest in her satire, so
full of scorn and so serious in her mean-

To hear ber epeak of "earning one's
living" was too much for him. She
gave the impression of riches, not
only by the fine texture and fashioning
of her garments, but one felt that lum

He answered inarticulately, "Oh,
