Sllas Day and Cephas Gale had been close friends, and their friendship had been tested in many ways from the time that they were boys together unmtil now when gray hairs had multiplied on the heads of each. Thirty years previous, when Bllas had entered into an engugement of marriage with Charlotte Price, Cephas had formed a like compact with Elmira Trip, and when, as the outcome of a quarrel, the first en- gagement was declared off, Cephas had broken his own compact, ignoring hiy friend's protest and explaining enigmatic- ally to Elmira that he was ‘“powerful sorry,” but he had ‘“ter make it easler fur Bilas." The latter had lived on the old farm until the death of his parents, when he had rented It andl had settled In another county, Cephas accompanied him, and Stlas’ mnephew and wife made their home with Bim. Friday morning Sllas entered the barn with a gloomy brow. “‘Well,"” sald Cephas, “what's wrong?" “Cephas,” sald Silas, scratohing his ear perplexedly, ““ther's no gettin' over the fact that this goin' ter city cookin' school's all right fur them as has good sound sense, but it's spiled Ida.

The next Saturday the two friends re duced the landlord of the inn at Hacke town to the verge of stupefaction at their capacity for stowing away good things, and at last, quite beyond words, they climbed Into the stage for the return trip. The coach carried two other passengers— a ruddy-faced farmer, evidently a stranger, and another stranger in the person of an elderly woman of spare frame, with nu- merous belongings, which she generally counted before the coach started. The ruddy-faced farmer opened the con- versation, leaning toward . Sflas. “Ever been in these parts afore?" No answer. Bllas was drowsy. “I say, ever in these parts afore? Bllas opened his eyes. “Wall, y traveled this ere way afore.'” “Goln’ far?" Silas did not seem to hear him. “Goln' tar?" “My dear sir, let me meditate’ “Certin, certin.

Thereupon she comfortably settled herself. Stlas and Cephas smiled sympathetically, the farmer also nodded and the coach went lumbering on for an hour or so, when all |at once an ominous creaking was heard and the vehicle settled without warning half over oneits side. Confusion reigned, the horses plunged and were controlled with difficulty by nearby farm hands, after which the startled passengers emerged un- hurt. ‘“Wall,” sald Silas, “that was a surprise. Now, 1 guess we'd better foot it, Cephas,” upon which the men started up the road. The woman meantime had done the best she could for her crushed bonnet. “Driver,” sald®she, “do you know where Philip Kent lives hereabouts?" “¥es, ma'am; he lives over yander to the left of the old forked road.

Here, boys, lend her a hand—there! Be ye In? Whoa!" to the anclent animal. “Now, ma'am,” to the other woman, “climb up here onto the seat by me. Here, Ben, pack the baggage in behind for ballast. Aunt Ann might bounce around, she's so light. We don't expect ter do anything but mean- der with sich & load aboard? It was after dark when thelr arrival was announced by Sammy's cheerful drawl, “I brought 'em. here they be,” and Mrs. Kent introduced as “Aunt Lottie" their fellow pdssenger to the two men, and the Rev. Mr. Hardy. That night in the privacy of her own room Aunt Lottle stood solemnly gazing &t her reflected image in the glass “Thirty years!" she exclaimed grimly, and he don't know me. “Well, thet's time enough to bring wrinkles and crows’ feet and white hairq, I'm an old woman and he's an old man. But he was sot, and sotness gits more of & sotness as a man gits old—but 1 guess he's lonesome."” Suddenly she saw a delicate pink rise up into her reflected fice and spread and spread up into her gray hair. “What a fool I be,” she sald in & con- demnatory volce. On Sabbath morning Aunt Lottle, who considered that absence from church ser- vice, uniess some one was il in bed or for some reason was unable to walk or be od, was a flagrant offense, had tried to stralghten her *bonnet and given herself a mental scourging for the sin of caring about her outward appearance. “I be an old fool," she sald to herself. It was noticed that morning that the Rev. Mr. Hardy was not at his best. He read slowly from notes, and an epidemic of drowsiness seemed to spread like a pall over the congregation. Sllas found himself unconsciously taking notice of an elderly figure sitting in the corner of his pew. As he looked a curious feeling of half recognition baffied him, and in vain_he tried to fix his thoughts on the sermon. Suddenly she turned and the two gased steadily at each other for the space of a whole,” sald the passenger. at Greenalt?" moment, then & dull red crept from chin to hair and lost itself in her capacious bonnet. ““What in pame of the r the . sald Bias to 14.85 $19t0$49 8.98 fur trimmed, worth’ $1. worth $8.50, special, Children’s coats, 1on sleeves, worth $4, a Pretty codts in all the late styles, x“murknhl) aitractive, worth up o $10.00, at....... 3 0.98.40.00 Golf Skirt Sale 400 fine golf and walking jlLadies’ Union Suits—fine and heavy ribbed, gkirts in heavy cheviots, meltons, novelty goods, etc., all colors, new yoke effects, wide, stitched bot- toms, strap and corded.

SHORTENS LIST OF INCURABLE MALADIES General Revolution in Surgery and Medicine Predicted—Results of Recent Experiments Forelgn Hos, Sclentists view radlum, the mysterious metal of wonderful power, with the awe Which an unknown and feartul force might command, ““What Is its future?” is thelr question. It has only been a few months since that question was asked first, and already there have been answers—not many, but suffi- clent to be a hint as to the wonderful things which may be expected In time to come, Heyetofore it has been treated only as some new toy possessed of powers and pe- culiarities of great interest, but of little material profit. This view has been changed. Radium is displaying new and useful powers with every step in its devel- opment. It is found now In the laboratories of thoroughly equipped chemists and in the studies of not a Yew surgeons. Its ultimate service in many lines is doubted no longer. There are men who affirm that radium eventually will cause a general revolution in surgery and medicine; that it will cure | maladies now regarded as incurable—that, in fact, this yellow atom, so lnxlgnlfllfllll in appearance, eventually will prove one of | the greatest boons to alling mankind that ever was discovered Time alone can prove these expectations Meanwhile some light 1s thrown on the subject by an inquiry into the things already accomplished by the metal. At an Engllsh hospital, the Middlesex, two cases of lupus are under treatment by | means of radio-activity, that subtle, Im- perceptible emission of sparks that goes on continuously without affecting any change or loss In the metal itself. *“The progress in each case has been sat- {sfactory,” report the hospital authorities, “but it Is too early to predict a full and complete cure.” From Scotland, however, comes news of a case of lupus cured after four weeks' treatment by radium. The dreadful dis- figurements formerly borne by the patient are sald to have disappeared entirely. Burns Out Diseased Tissues. In such operations the radium used is inclosed In a case, which in appearance may be compared to the pepper grinding contrivances usually seen on the tables of French restaurants. At one end is a small glass dish, behind which & few sparks of the radiuth may be discerned. This end is applied to the affected parts, and the rays, which fly off at the rate of light or at the rapldity of 185,000 miles a second, penetrate the glass and eat into the flesh. The re- sultant wound requires a considerable time to heal, at times several months. Surgeons are speculating as to the proba- bility of radium affording a cure for the dread scourge of cancer. Two cases in | Vienna were treated by local applications | of radium and the disease is said to have disappeared under the treatment. Time must elpase before it can be ascertained | whether this disappearance resulted from a complete cure or Whether the benefit merely is temporary. It may reassert itself and the surgeons In charge are watching anxiously to determine If the cure may be pronounced absolute.

It is claimed that by the applica- tion and use of radium he has restored eight to two blind boys. They were 11 and 18 years old and had been blind since their first year. They were taken into a dark room when the treatment was given. A tube containing radium was held near their foreheads and eyes. At the same time an outline of famillar obfects was thrown on a rcreen flluminated by radium. By asso- clating the pictures with articles known through the sense of touch the boys were able to recognize a number of coins, keys, a cross and other articles. It is affirmed now that they have learned the Russian alphabet. The potency of the rays s fllustrated by other experiments conducted by this Rus- slan professor. He bound the eyes of two persons tightly so that they could not see. of the forehead, and, it is declared, the blindfolded persons were able to distinguish 4ll the objects in the darkened room. English ophthalmic surgeons are not sat- fsfled as to the condition of the optic nerves of the blind persons alleged to have been cured by the application of radium, but they do not deny the possibllity of the metal bringing sight to the eyes of people not born blind. Science has barely touched the fringg of the possibilities In the new metal. Tried in Many Ills, Nasal troubles have been treated by small tubes containing radium, which are inserted in the nostrils. It has been used in cases of persistent neuralgia. It has destroyed the bacilll of typhold, cholera | and anthrax. It Is as potent to kill as to | cure. Bmall quantities of radium brought to living creatures cause a death as sure as it 1s mysterious. Live mice exposed to the influences of three-hundredths of a grain of radlum salt were selzed with paralysis of the cerebral nervous system, succeeded by a complete suspension of the functions and by death. A larger quantity of radium exposed in a room in which persons were confined and unable to escape would, it is declared, produce the same result. There is a hint for some up to date sclentific novelist. Sclentists, doctors and chemists who han- dle radium do so with the greatest care. ! 8ir Willlam Crookes recently catried a small plece in his vest pocket and upon going home etretched himself ouf for a nap. He was awakened by a severo burn- ing pain in his side and upon examination discovered that the minute quantity of radium had burned through his clothes and had caused & severe blister on his side. Many experimenters now carry the metal n small lead boxes. Although the radium burns, the sensation is one of cold rather than heat. ¢ Metal's Vagaries Work Wonders, There 18, in short, no end to the vagaries and wonder working effects of the metal. Prof. G. Bohn exposed the larvae of frogs to radlum rays. The larvae showed de- clded acceleration of growth and became tadpoles in elght days. Further exposure of the tadpoles to the radium resulted in their becoming monstrosities. The scarcity and dearness of radium re- tard a more general research Into its pos- | sibilities. At present it is sold in Ger- many, whence it ls imported to this coun- try at §2 a miligramme. At this rate one | pound of it, if such a quantity were ob- | tatnable, would cost over $1,000000. It g announced, however, that a company has been promoted to extract the element from great deposit of uranlum ore in Grand county, Utah.—New York Herald.
