HAY FEVER U an inflamed condition conditton of the linlnf membrane of the not-trels, tear ducU and throat, affecting the lungs. An acrid mucus is secreted, the discharge is accompanied with a burning sen sation. There are severe spasms of sneexin& frequent attacks of headache, watery and inflam ed eyes. Ely's Cream Balm is remedy that can be depended upon to relieve and cure, We bad it rough, Molly ai.d 1, for.flr years. We were New EnLi rulers, both of us; but I luul come west year before when I wasn't much more than n lor, to get rid of the lung fevers I tisrd to Lave every spring Wure, and may bo the fall between thrown In. I bad nothing bet ray two bands to start with; but a suun as I'd made a beginning a small one, of course I went back for Molly. f And then, as I said, for fire years we bad it rough. In the first place, we were burned out in the town and never saved a thing but the clothes we stood ia and my team. Then we started again out on the edge of every thing, where laud waa cheap, and It looked as if bard work miht count for something. , That time the Imliuns ran us off. Never saw an hiril.iu? Well, sir, you never want to. I don't want to be bard on anything the Ird saw fit to make. I suppose he knows what they are made for or what he meant them for I know there's a good deal of talk lately about their wrong. They're bad 'em, rure enough; may be I don't see things all round as I ought to. They say all general rules bear bard on particular cases. I'm one of the particular cases, perhaps. Anyhow, they killed one of the children there the girl, 5 years old; shot her right in fnll sight of the cabin, and Molly hasn't got over it till this day. - I picked up a few heaJ of cattle cheap that fall, and for a year we lived in a wagon, camping and driving our cattle across the ranges. You don't know what that life means for a woman, take It month in and month out. Cooking over a camp fire, and not much of anything to cook, anyhow; clothes wet half the time; never warm in winter nor cool in sum mer, and never clean. .That year the boy died snakebit. We were so far from a settlement that we couldn't get a doctor, , X T , 1 , , ami we ouneu mm ourselves. t We got Into a cabin in the falL I Four of us, each one poorer than the others, took a section of government land. We bad our teams and our health, and we were down to bed rock; not much of any thing to lose and everything to gain. A man will work under such circumstances, you'll find. We built in the middle of the adjoining corners of our quarters, and so had n little settlement of our own. We did it for the sake of the women, for it made an almighty sight of travel for us to get over in the course of the day. They were all New England women, slen der and spare, but solid grit clear through. Plymouth Rock is pretty good stock. Never a whimper nor a complaint out of one of them, though there wasn't a sec ond frock in the crowd; and if there was always corn bread and colTee enough for two in any of the shanties it wasn't in ours. After awhile, though, we hail game enousli quail and prairie chickens.! Irai rie chickens! I wouldn't be hired to touch one now. I remember one day along to ward spring whe'n Molly struck. We bad had qu:.il and prairie chicken, prairie chicken and quail, three times a day ever since I could remember, it seemed o me. She put her fork down and pushed ber plate away and jnst quoted out of the Bible: "Not one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days nor twenty days, but even until it come out at your nostrils and be loathsome unto you. Molly knew the Bible. j It renlly began to look as if we bad tonched bottom. That next spring, we got our crop In corn laid by, rain and sunshine and hot weather all just' right; ami now and then we would hear a laugh from the houses. j " But the day the grasshoppers came there was mighty little laughing done. Clayton cutiie In where I was taking my luMi-.i smoke and kind of dropped down in u chair by the door, as if he couldn't get any farther. i 'iMountainecrs!" be said, with a kind of pa?p. "V.iat" I said, not knowing but it was another kind of Indian. "Grasshoppers!" It seems be bad been there before. i I ran out, and sure enough there they were, coming up against the sun like a low kind of cloud. And in a minute or two it was like being out in a live bail 6torm. We tried to fight them with fire and hot water, but we gave it up In an hour. All day we sat and listened to that horrible cracking and craunchlng, and when they got through it looked as if a fire bad gone over us. Not a green thing left, and the corn stalks gnawed down to stumps. t We held a council of war. The end of It was that we drove our stock into the town the next day, thirty miles, and sold it. It didn't make us rich, but at least we got the price of the bides. Then thnte of us were to work in the coal shippings. and Jim Clayton went back to stay with the women. He bad smashed bis shoul der that summer and was of no mortal use with shovel and pick. We were to keep them in supplies, and it looked as if, after all, things might have been worse. And they got worse before a great while. The coal company petered out Just as the real cold weather 6Ct In. We took back a big load of coal; it was the only pay we ever got for our last fortnight's work, and called another council. Along in November late about the time wheu they were keeping Thanksgiving on the side where they know what Thanks giving means we started on a buffalo bunt. There was enough to eat, such as It was, for a month in the cabins, and fuel enough to keep them warm; and by that time we thought work might begin again. Anyway, we'd have our meat for the rest of the winter. Well, it's no use to go over that. It wasn't a pleasant trip. We weren't out for the fun of killing. We camped out at night, and rode and shot and dressed game bv day. and did not starve nor quite freeze to death; and we got back again on to the plains along in December. I wanted to push through and get home, but the horses were played oct; and all the next day, after we struck the level, we just crawled along. We bad not beard a word since we started, and I was pretty anxious Molly was not well when I left ber; but there was no choice about IT, I had to go; the women were with ber, and there was a doctor in the town, and Clay ton bad a good horse, and we bad Jo 4a about that as we bad done about rrrry thing else take our chance. I shan't forget that day. Aloe? ta tt middle of the morning a norther brgaa to Mow. It did not snow, although the sky thickened up with gray, wooUr looking clooda, low down and threateiuac. You never felt a norther? A wind that goes through your bone, -that elate! your heart and rtope your brain; that breaks yon up body and touL You don't know anything about cold till you've felt on. If there U soch a thing as a frozen bell, that's where these winds come from. It isn't pure cold, it's ghost cold, and all the Infernal regions let loose, yelling and thundering up la the awful emptiness over your head and round you. Lore the prairies? Well, you can lore them a good deal better on paper than anywhere else. But there's an awful fas cination about them, somehow. It's 1? the sea. A man that's got his living out of them for tea years is fit for nothing else In God's world. He can't get away. lie's spoiled for everything else nnder heaven, lie's got to have the sky and a chance to breathe. It's about all there Is to get, better than he can have anywhere else; but it's a sure fact that so much he's cot to have whatever els geta left. It's Ilk a poem, may be "I ain't much on thyme' myself driving across them in warm weather; horve fresh and well fed, with a big tent and spring cots for camping arid a supply wagon with every thing you can think of but ice, and may b that; all the world a-ripple with summer green; like the south wind surging like a warm ocean and the sky blue and soft and arching away up to the great white throne. That's one thing. To go trailing along. horses dead beat and half starved, pulling a big wagon through sloughs up to th axles or over frozen rut that wring every bolt in the concern and every bone in your body, while mile after mile of dead grass stretching out to the edge of the world, with buzzards swingingnp out of nowhere, more like something infernal than any de cent living thing; with coyotes yelping and crying all night that's another thing, and the kind that doesn't get talked about much. Perhaps you don't remember that Item in but winter's newspapers a half dozen lines or so two families frozen In a Texas norther, hones, dogs and all, just as they stood. That night we went Into camp ten miles from home. There was a ravine and plenty cf brush, and the horses were ready to drop in their tracks, and that last ten miles was one of the things that couldn't be done. So we got our fire made and our horses fed and sheltered as well as we could, and put some heart into ourselves with buffalo steak and hot cof fee, and the rest of them packed them selves into the wagon. Some one had to stand guard and keep the fires going, and I took the contract. It wasn't a dark nlht, There was a goodish bit of a moon behind the clouds, ana it made a gray kind of light over every thing. We were at the bottom of a dry canyon that ran east and went, and the wind did not reach us. It screeched and screameU over our heads, and through it all there was a kind of moaning roar, as if we were at the bottom of a tide as deep as the stars are high. I got to thinking about old times away back, of one Sun day night just before we were married. I bad gone east a little sooner than we ex pected, and had to wait for her things to be finished. We went to church. that night.' A keen, crisp, still night it'waa, when the tdelgh runners squeaked on the snow and the moonlight traced the shad ows of the elm on the white ground as If they luul been put in black drawing. The church was warm and bright and they hadu't taken down the Christmas greens yet, so the air was full of the smell of them that spicy, haunting smelL that seems as if it came somehow from a world before this. It was years since I bad smelled it, and I sat and listened to the music and looked at the people, with their comfortable clothing and faces that were cheerful, not worn and wrinkled with care and weather. Molly was an awfully pretty girl In those days; all pink and white like an apple blossom, somehow. And fighting to keep awake out there in the heart of a Kansas prairie, I got to t linking about ber as she was then and bow she had changed. Skin the color of tanned leather now, and that wild, hungry look In her blue eyes, as if they were always staring Into the dark for something that frightened ber. And both her children dead, and not even a spray of the pine she loved so, nor a breath of music; nothing but a dirt floor and log walls that did all thai was expected of them if they kept the weather ont. . Somebody bailed over the top of the bluff. "What camp's thatr "Kenyon and mate, "I 'lowed it was" scrambling down the sides of the gulch on bis sure footed mule "you, Kenyon? News for you. A kid up to your ranch, ten days cH All bands doing well yesterday momihg.' The rest roused themselves, sleepily. He bad got off the trail, and seeing our smoke bad struck for it. We knew and be knew that the chance were that it saved bis life; but be swallowed bis cof fee and smoked bis pipe and turned in with the rest as if getting lost In a norther was one of the things that hap pened, of course, to every man. Then I sat and thought a while, and finally I roused out Madison. ion take my turn," I said to mm; 'I'm going home.,, "Not a brute that will travel." "I'll do my own traveler, on foot. "You'll pas In your checks before morning." "No, the wind ls at my back; no fords; I'll keep going;" and X went. - Went; half running, with the wind driving me on till I was ready to drop. Once I fell and lay there with the wind dragging and tearing at me till I began to grow sleepy, and then I bad to get up and go ahead again. Perhaps you never tried crossing a prairie at night without a trail to follow. It's a curious thing, one I cannot account for; one that make yon feel as If your body and all your sense were cf no mere account than a spent cartridge. It hap pened to me that night, space and time seemed to get aQ mixed np together all at once racing along; it seemed to me that I . bad been keeping np that sort of thing for hours. I felt so adrift somehow o hor ribly lost as if I bad slipped out of my self and was out in space without a land mark to measure anything by. I expect you'll have to try It yourself to know what I mean. I bad no watch; there was no way cf knowing bow much time bad gone. Of all the devils that can enter into a man uncertainty is th worst. Krery sort of a fancy came into my bead. Perhaps I did not know the root as wall as I bail thought. Perhaps I bad even passed the cabins and was going away from them with every step. I ought to have reached them La three hours at the utmost. It seemed to me that I had been burling along for twice thrre boors. Once I tried madly to fight back into th wind. It was bopejess, worse thaa Un. X slouli dre? wt tfc exhaustion ta a few tulast, and I must keep gct&g- - And then X trend burned rrut sdr toy feet. There bad been a tre ovrr the prairie.

X wa think! eg about Molly and ber baby; it all rmd like a dull dream. Atd then blls began to ring; deep and soft and far off. X stopped ta my tracks to lion. It was the sound cf bells, cer tain, fall and sweet; and X turned and went blindly on. following the sound as a bouxd might follow a scent. Ah at one I saw a light. It wamt a star; there wrr no stars. And nobody lived oa th big range, un!r aim cam-r was traveling about, and travelers don't travel ta the teeth cf a norther. And this light swung and waved. wnt out entirely for a second or tw and then burad np again. And ner or far I could not tell, only tt was a L'ght and tt moved, and X followed It. And I could bear the bells all th Urn.

Well, X wasn't a wise man, or X shouldn't bar got ta such a fix. : doot think X am an Irreverent kind cf a i JWw, either; a man could live with Molly many years and be that. Only X was locking for a young child too, and babfea little one always did seem to m near enough to heaven to make that story about the star reasonable enough. Anyway, there tt wa, meant for me cr n4, and I fol lowed It. More than one I fell, but I always got up and went on. X wa talking to my If art cf the time, bearing my own voic and thinking it was acme on eUe'a. X kt my sene cf Ume again, but kept oa docgedlr: and then, suddenly, the LUht fiabd brighter, whirled about in a wild sort of a way, and weal out entirely. I gave a shout and ran fecward. I thought X bo aid die If X lost it. And there I was standing oa a wide trail, with a ort cf square dark shape standing up in the dimness before me, with light and voices coming out cf th chinks, and somehow, there was th door, and my band oa the latch, and la another second ht it was Molly Molly with a lamp In ber band, bending over a feeding box made into a cradle, with a great armful cf hay and a white sheepskin for a cover, and Madison's wife kneeling on one aide and Clayton's wtf oa the ether, and ! yond, with the lights Cathing In their great, wandering, shining eyes, a pair cf astonished horses. And then there came a piping cry from the feeding trough, and I knew I bad found the baby. Burned out? Ye, air. That was the but thing; but they bad bad warning be fore the fire came down oa them. Jim Clayton bad taken the women and struck acroa for th big road and they took the first shelter they came to, a stable that bad been built la th days when all th California supplies went overland by mule train. When the wind fell be Uxk the lantern and tried to find a cabin that ued to stand somewhere near, and I bad la following him for half an hour. Oh yes, I'm weU fixed now; three thous and bead cf cattle out on the Ounnlvuo. And Molly spends ber summers back home, and she and the babies bring back enough croup and catarrh and bronchitis sore throat to last them half tb fecit winter. New York Independent.
