One 0 f a man's greatest pleasures is that born of a keen appetite, vigorous digestion and a good dinner, land this belongs to many a good fellow Who is living on small 'sages but the rich Man without a stomach 4 haa to forego the good things of the table because his stomach rebels. Without a health* stomach ance a good digestion, our blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart action is weak, our liver does not do its nii duty, and ittan is nu erable and uphappy. In this condition is prey to the germs of influenza, Cons= don, malaria and. all the ills that he is heir to. ' Consumption can be treated by natural methods which are as close to eiature as possible. Dr, R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi- cian of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago un- derstood this disease, and after a long pe - pod of experimett discovered certain roots and herbs which ere nature's 'remedies, and succeeded. in putting thein up in a form that would ' e email,' procured and ready to use. This he called Dr. Pierce's . Golden Medical jscoverye It gives no false stimulation' because it contains no alcohol and no ,arcotic. It helps diges- tion and the assi e nation of such elements in the food as ar required for the blood. • Instead of a cod liver. oil, against which the already sensi ive stomach will declare , open rebellion, is tonic has a pacifying action, upon th, sensitive stomach' and 'yes to the blo$ $ the food elements- the ,'tissues require. It maintains the patient's nutrition by en telt:1g him to eat, retain, digest and mei ilate nutritious food. It overcomes gast ic irritability and symp- toms of ineliges ion, and i.n this way fever, night -sweats, eaclaches, etc., are done away with. et fortifies the body a ainst the germs of c nsuinption, grip and ma-, lark, and it bui ds up the tissues and puts on healthy lies , . When the d uggist says he has some- thing that it ej st as good" as Dr. Pierce's Golden' Medina DiscOVery, he says so be- cause he hope to make a better profit,' but MS own xtureh have not stood the test of long ex erieuce nor hadahe *access that De.

She's singin' over her work," Parker stepped outside. On the pave- ment people had stopped to listen. They stood li the shadow, looking up with parted ilIps at the open, lighted windows whence came a clear,- soft, reaching voice, lifted ineffably in song. Now it swelled louder unconsciously; now its volume was more slender, and it melted liquidly into the night; again it trembled and rose and dwelt in the ear, Strong and pure, and hearing it you' sighed with unknown longings. It wasthe "Angels' Serenade." Bud Tipwor hy's. sister, Cynthia, was with him, a d 'Parker saw that she turned from he window and that she was crying q ietly. She put her hand on the boy's shoulder and patted it with a forlo n geSture which to tbe foreman's ey was as graceful fie was sad. He oved closer to Bud, ited his big hand ell on Cynthia's brother's other shoulde as he realized that red hair could lo k pretty sometimes, andi he wondered hy the editor's singing' made Cynthi cry, and at the same time he decid d to be mighty good to Bud hencefor The spell of night and song was on ira; that and something more, for it i a strange, inexplicable fact that the ost practical chief ever known to the Herald had a singularly eentIntal linence over her subordi- nates rom th moment of her arrival. Under HarkleSs' domination there had been no more eteadfast bachelors in Carlow than toss Schofield and Caleb Parker, and, 4ke timorous youths in a graveyard, dering and mocking the ghosts in order to assuage their own fears, they h the married of urging th them, but,no the moment Bud's other s Schofield, wa far end of to not to be dou heart also wa sion,- thongh, , the damsel of long since ret!: For a fain these spells ment made b tin some time the lady to listening in el loriode idea," said Nig. name! of Harkless"- ' Wned the oratory: S"But That little -gird.wanto it nd that settles it.- He 4 11 11 Id so gibed and jeerecl at tate that. thee was talk minieter to preach, at let it be recorded that at Caleb laid his hand on- oulder his associate, Mr. enjoying a walk in the n with a widow, and it is ted that Mr. Tipworthy's no longer iii hinposses:. s it was after 8 o'clock, his desire had probably ed to her couch.. • . light on the .bause of e must turn to a com- the invaluable Mr. Mar - afterward.

Mr. Lige illetts, riding idly by, drew rein in rant of the lighted win- dows and Its ened with the others. Presently he leaned from his horse and whispered to a man near him, "I know that song." "Do you?" Whispered the other. "Yes. He and! I heard her sing it the night he was ahot. We stood outside Briscoe's and listened." esee, "'It's a seraphic song,' he said," con- tinued Lige. "No!" exclai ed his friend. Then, shaking his h d, he sighed, "Well, it's mighty sweet.' The song was suddenly woven into laughter in thp unseen chamber, and the lights in the windows went out, and a small lady and a tall lady and a thin old man, 'afl three laughing and talking happily, came down and drove off in the 33rishoe buckbaard.

Soon the square was quiet as before, andlthere was 'naught but peace under the big stars of July.

But from their first word of hilt, from the message that lee Was fel nd and -was alive, none of the peo- ple of Carlow had really doubted. T ley are simple country people, and th y know that God is good. CHAPTER XII. Nt. Indiana town may lie asleep a long while, but it always wakes up some time, and PInttville woke up in August, hen the Herald became a daily. It as then that hiatory began to be ade. The Herald printed news. It lad made a connection with the reeso- lated Press, aful it was sold every orning at etands in eyery town in jolt_ rotten_ as tele efid-e. ;les CiTrill18-• COD Triplett. - tt'wo new men were brought from Rouen for the editorial and reportorial staff, and Parker talked of new presses, During the first week of the daily venture Eph Watts struck oil, and the Herald boomed. We geld. pie swarmed into town; the hotel crowded; strangers became no sen - whatever. A. capitalist bought -hole north side of the square to new stores, and the -Carlow bank .n the construction of it new bank building of Bedford stone on tlie corner opposite the Herald. ,Then it was Whles pered, next affirmed,. that Main street was to be asphalted. That was the end of the "old days" of Plattville. But this man who had laid the foun- dation upon which the new Plattville was to be built, he who through the quiet labor of years had. stamped his spirit on the people, lay sick in his friend's house and did not care. Tom Meredith had taken him from the .hospital to his own home on a quiet street in Rouen, and John was well enough of his hurts to be taken abroad sometimes in a victoria, where he reclined, gray and thin, seemingly no more than „ a long afternoon shad- e*. But for days he would Ile in a lethargy that made Tom despair. The soul of the country editor was sick in- side of him; he- was wearY, and worn, and pain had left him dulled, except when he.thought of returning to Platt - vide; fliev he felt physical horror. The place did not need him, nor he the place. Fisbee had found a young rela- tive to run the Herald, who Signed his typewritten busiaess letters "H. Flee bee" in a strapping hand that suggest- ed six feet of muscle spattering ink on its shirt sleeves. jOhn woadered idly where old Fis- bee had raked up a relative, and he thought it probable that H. Fisbee was a Yankee cousin of the old man, but he did not care much for that or for anything except to keep away from Carlow for the rest of his life, since .he was to live. And there was no lon- ger. need to go thereelle was glad to knew that. 11. Fisbee had written him before the oil bubbled in Eph's wells that -to buy stock in Mr. Watts' com- pany might be profitable, especially as the stock was then so low that it was almost imperceptible, and Harkless had a little money he had_saved. He let Meredith arrange it for Mtn, and a few ,days later the stock leaped' eloudward. However, his modest riches interest- ed him as little as .did everything else. Be left las bed less and. less, took no more drives, and his lethargy deep- ened. Tonly thing in which he showed Interest was the congressional cam- paign of the district. If was far ad- vanced before the Herald spoke of it at all, and Harkless saw that McCune had lifted his head. One day Tom came in and found him wilting on a pad on his knee. Rouen, Sept. 2, —. Dear Fifr., Fisbee-Yours of the 1st to hand. I entirely approve all arrangegaelets you have mOde. , I think you undarliallel that I wish you to regard everyllitingne in your own lia,nds. You are the eater of the Herald and have the sole responsibil- ity for everything, including policy, until, after proper warning, I relieve you in person, if that ever happens, but until that time regard me as a, mere spectator. I do not fear that you will make any 'mis- takee. You have done very much better in all matters than I could have done myself. At present I have only one suggeetion: observe that your editorials concerning nalloWay'e renomination are something lukewarm. It is very important that he be renominated, not so much on account of assuring his return to Washington (for he is no Madison, I fear), but the fellow McCune must be beaten if we have to send him to the penitentiary on an old issue to do it. The man is corrupt to the bone. He has been bought and sold, and I am glad the proofs of it are in your hands, as you tell me you found thorn, as • directed, in my desk. The papers you hold drove him out of politics once by the mere threat of publication. You should have printed them last week, as I sug- gested. Do so at once; the time is short. The Herald is a little paper (not so little nowadays, after all, thanks to you), but it lei an honest one, and it isn't afraid of Rod McCune and his friends. Please let rne ooe as hearty a word as you can sax, I 1 for Holloway also. You can write with_ ginger. Please let us have some in this Matter, 1 am, very truly yours. JOHN HARXLESS.

In this I hold you grossly at fault. If you have a conscientious reaiton for refusing to carry out my request it should have been com- municated to me- at once, as should" the fact -if such be the case -that you are a persenal (or impersonal, if you like) friend of Mr. Rodney McCune.
