''fin ee 'Uli.ttntii il
A bronzed youth helping a blue
habited girl mount her pony is no
uncommon sight on a bright morn
ing in Kentucky, yet 4 certain lank
farmer stood watching this particu
lar couple as they started gayly on
their morning ride. He even shaded
his eyes to watch them till they
were a mere speck on the horizon.
Then he walked around the long,
low farmhouses till he came i the
open pantry window where his wife
was cooking.
"Mating time is about here, Sa-
Sh," he said, with a jerk of his
umb toward the roadway.
v Sarah deftly trimmed a pie be
fore she assented.
"What do you suppose her folks
will say ?" continued the man.
The pie came to the pantry shelf
with a bang, and the woman faced
her husband fiercely.
Don t you think our boy is good
enough for any girl living?" she de
manded. "Besides, Mr. Upton was
struggling young lawyer once him
self., , I , don't think he'll interfere
at all, and if my Robert is as good a
husband as my man has been these
30 years they will be very happy;
The old man leaned through the
window and kissed his faded Sa
rah very tenderly. . "He'll have a
good wife if she is anything like
you," he returned as his wife pushed
him laughingly out and said, "What
can you expect of young folks if old
ones go on spooning after 30 years
of married life ?"
John and Sarah had iriven years
of toil toward Robert Allen's educa
tion. He had now been graduated
from Harvard college and completed
his law school course, and was at
home on a last vacation "before go
ing into Lawyer Upton's office to
commence practice. By his side
was Lawyer Upton's youngest
daughter Ruth. She and an older
sister had returned home with Rob
ert under the chaperonage of
maiden aunt, who was on her way
farther south. .
v The, mothers of these young peo
ple had been close friends in their
school days, and even after mar
riage took one to the north to be
come a rich, man's wife and left the
other at home a poor farmer's wife
the friendship still kept warm. Mrs.
Upton took Robert into her family
during his school and college days,
and so the children had grown up
intimately.
"Why are you so late every morn
ing, Ruth?" Robert was saying as
they ascended the hilL "You never
used to be slow about dressing. We
get started 20 minutes after the
others every "day."
"Now, Bob, don't scold," rejoined
Ruth. "You know you like this
smart canter with me better than
moping along the road the way
Harry Downs and Mary do. There
they are now poking as usual." And
she indicated a young couple with'
her riding whip and then brought it
down aharply on her pony's flank
and tore down the hill at breakneck
speed.
' The couple were soon overtaken,
and as Ruth passed the young man
she touched his horse slyly, and
tbey galloped off together, leaving
Rob to pull np oy ner sister.
Mary Upton was 25 years old;
Ruth was 22. They were unmis
takably sisters, yet very different in
many ways. Mary's eyes were quiet,
straightforward eyes, shaded by long
lashes tbat gave mem a aremmj
look; Ruth's very lashes curled, and
net eyes danced and twinkled, flash?
4 ana 4r melted tritk tenderness,
exactly as her heart dictated, Mary's
itoee was straight and trifle tod
sharp; Kuth'i wa an TmnuswaaoiB

alike ii email, but firm. -.
The fourth member of. the parry
was" Harry Downs, a son of

years old and in love with all wo
men. Just now he fancied he would

he struck the ground badly, turning
his ankle, and horse and rider rolled
over on the turf.
Rob Allen and Harry Downs hur
ried to the prostrate figures. Ruth
lay still and white, and only moaned
a little when Rob picked her up.
Harry rushed away to a little stream
for water, and by bathing her face
and chafing her hands they brought
her back to consciousness. She sat
up" sobbing, "Oh, poor Puck, I ought
not to have made you do it," and
then quietly fainted away again.
"This won't do," said Harry, and,
jumping on his horse, he assured
them he would find a carriage if Rob
would carry ner out to the road.
So Rob gathered up the forlorn lit
tle figure, and Mary followed, lead
ing the three horses.
Harry Was fortunate in securing
a passing vehicle a farm wagon
with meal bags in it. Mary got in
and received Ruths unconscious
form, while the farmer good natur
edty agreed to ride Rob's horse and
lead the others.
At last they reached the farm
house, and Rob took her carefully
down. Her foot just touched the
wheel, and with a sharp cry she re
gained consciousness and began to
weep hysterically.
"Oh, darling, don't," said Rob
helplessly; "here's mother. Now
you'll be ail right." Ruth clung
about his neck, and they disappeared
into the kitchen
Mary clambered down from the
wagon as best she could and stood a
moment with clinched hands. "Rob
loves her," she said under her
breath, and then with shame in her
heart hi went to her sister and did
all that could be done for her.
By the time the doctor had made
his visit she had so far conquered
herself that she went to Kob, who
was pacing the yard like a wild
thing, and told him in quite sisterly
fashion that Ruth wns not seriously
hurt. A sprained ankle and general
shaking up was all.
For the next few weeks Ruth was
an interesting invalid. Every
morning Rob carried her out under
the trees in the doorway and she
held her court there. She insisted
that Mary should ride with one
young man each day, wnue tne
other staid at home and entertain
ed her. This arrangement kept
Harry Downs in a trying( state of
mind, for on the day he rode with
Mary be longed to ask her to be his
wife, but the very next morning he
spent with Ruth, and she teased and
petted him till he was sure she was
the only woman to make him happy.
The weeks went by swiftly and;
Ruth gained steadily. One day
Marv came home from her ride with
Harry Dovns, and coming rouna
the corner of the house louna itutn
end Rob walking together, Ruth
using Rob's arm for a crutch. They
were so busy talking they did not
notice her, and she hurried into the
house, stumbling over a book on the
threshold.
She opened it mechanically and
found the leaf turned down at Low
ell's "Love." "So that ia what
they are discussing,'' she thought,
with a bitter little laugh.' Her feet
carried her heavily over the stairs.
and she felt wora and old as she
entered hei room.' f g $ t
The evening were cool end were
usually "spent ia the big living room,
where cheerful, wood fire burned
in the hig fireplace. t)n thia eveni
ing after supper JRuth occupied the
couch, nd Mr. and Mrs. Allen sat
by the hearth, she knitting a red
locking that was io delight some
pickaninny's soul, and he with the
evening paper spread before him.
Bob and Mary were at the piano,
and soon Harry Downs came in, waa
welcomed by all and then sat down
very near Ruth.
Bob selected song after song, and
Mary sang them in a pure, sweet
contralto. She was so placed that
she could see Ruth, and her mind
wandered from the music to her Bis
ter's face. Ruth waa looking up at
Harry Downs and blushing brightly.
He waa talking low and earnestly,
and she answered him at some
Wffth. Then he leaned forward
eagerly and took her hand for a mo
ment and then leaned back and ap
parently became absorbed in the
nroaic - ''!'
Rath noticed that Bob appeared
abstracted, and she finally told him
he waa selecting songs she knew he
particularly disliked. ; ,-
"Am ir he said quietly. "WelL
to tell vou the truth, my mind ia not
on what I am doing. Mary," after
a pause, "I am trying to get up my

At bedtime Mary laced her task
while the two girls were brushing
their hair.
"Ruth," she began, "are you in
earnest ?"
"Yes, always," Ruth answered
flippantly. "What about?"
Mary put down her hairbrush and
took her sister by the shoulders.
"You are trifling with a good man's
affection," she began sternly. "In
the afternoon you have a tete-a-teto
with Rob and talk over love poems
and lean on his arm. In the even
ing you lounge on the sofa, and let
Harry Downs hold your hand. Now,
tell me what you mean
"Yes'm," answered Ruth, with
mock weakness, "I was going to,
anyway, only you hurt my arm.
Mary flung her away, laughing in
spite of herself. "I don't mean to
be cross. Only do tell me honestly
if you love Rob. Don't play with
him, dear.
"Yes," Ruth said slowly, with a
wicked smile, "I love Robert, and I
know he loves me. Why, he told me
so the first time he came to Boston,
when I was ? and he was 10, and my
affection has not diminished a bit.

He told me so the day we discussed

Ruth had delivered herself of this
speech so rapidly that Mary could
only stand wild eyed and sure at
her. Before she could frame A suit

Meanwhile the same subject waa
being discussed by Mr., and Mrs.

man as he dressed a chair back in
his coat. "Seems to be a game of

between Ruth and Robert, but they
change round so since the accident

"I m puzzled, too, John, said his
wife, "but Hob hinted to me tomgnt
that somebody was going to answer
him a mighty question tomorrow, so
we shall soon know, i nope u s

"I like the curly headed little bag

last word, the old farmer -left the
argument. -
Next morning Marv waa up early.
and, knowing .the habits Rob had
contracted at college, which usually
made him late to breakfast, she felt
secure in going out for a walk to
calm herself, for the interview which
she feared and longed for. She had
barely left the farm buildings be

steps and turned, surprised, to find

they returned to the house both had
explained and blamed themselves
to their entire satisfaction. .
Similarity of the Hands and Feet.
' Persons born without hands often
use their feet for nearly every object
that bands ordinarily serve for,
threading needles with their toes,
using scissors, writing, etc. It is a
very interesting thing to examine
the skeletons of a human foot and
hand aids by aide and to observe
how the two structures are absolute
ly aimilar save for certain modifi
cations which adapt the foot for
locomotion and the band for ma
nipulation. Tree Need Sleep.
"Insomnia dries trees up and killa
them after awhile,' remarks a tree
fancier. "Trees need sleep Just as
individuals, and if powerful lights
are glaring upon them all night long
the leaves will gradually wither and
drop from the branches. This dead
ening of the tree is often plainly no
ticeable upon the side affected by
the light, and a number of trees in
the city are slowly being killed by
electricity."

Washington Letter., t
efVTTyTVTyVTVTTVVYfffVTVfe
Washington, D.C. Aug. 9, 1901
Te'ddy Roosevelt's Presidential
boom arrived in Washington this
week. It was brought by repuhli
can members of the Kanpa Congres
sional delegation, who declared that
the republicans were for him and in
tended to do everything tl ey could
to get him nominated. When it
is considered that the administration
is dead opi osed to Rooceve't and
that those Congressmen were
Washington asking the administra
tion favors, it will be seen that they
had their nerve along with them.
It is true that none ol th big guns
of the administration were in town,
and that the small fry, such a
sintant secretaries, were afraid to tell
those Congressmen that they were
treading on forbidden ground, but
the telegraph lines were in good
working order and some of them
found it out before they left, and
they will probably hear more about
it before their applications for ad
ministration favors are acted upon.
Long before 1904, it will be u
sure wty for a tepublicnn to get on
the administration blacklist to de
clare himself in favor of Roosevelt's
nomination. There is no longer
any doubt that there is a Roosevi U
machine and that it is working for
strength in the West and South,
ignoring New York, where the
Piatt machine makes it impossible
for Roosevelt to hope to control the
delegation. Roosevelt's friends are
pointing out that Cleveland was
nominated in 1892, although the
New York delegation was pledged
to Hill.
Rear Admiral Robley 1). Kvsns
"Fighting Bob" -was this week
furnished by the Nsvy Department
with copies of the two letters writ
ten by ex-Senator and ex-Secretary
Chandler, complaining of the maner
in which he and his administration
of the Navy Department are treated
in Admiral Evans' book, "A Sail
or's Log", and he has gone out of
town for a few days, during which.
he will decide whether he will ask
for a Court of Inquiry, or let Chand
ler to go ahead and try to force the
Navy Department to order a court-
martial. Before leaving Washing
Ion Admirial Erans said : "I have
no idea'hf falling into Mr. Chand
ler's trap, by entering upon a news
paper discussion of his letter. I
will only ssy that the only relations
between Mr. Chandler and myself
are those of private citizens. He is
not my superior, and I would not
take my orders from him - If he
has charged me with conduct un
becoming an officer and a gentleman,
well." Admiral Evans
abruptly ended and turned on bis
heel there was an expression on his
face that waa anything but loving.
Admiral Evane but touched upon
the dirty politics ot Chandler's rule
over the Navy Department, only re
ferring to, his personal experience,
in his book, when there is material
enough of the same sort, and worse,
easily accessible, to fill several
books. Chandler's whole political
life has been that of an unscrupul
ous partisan who never forgot his
interests. Consequently he is a
rich man, but he ia likely also to be
h sorry man be lore "isob ' Kvans
and his friends get through with
hint.
Comment ia being made on the
marked discrepancy Itetween the
number of Filipinos who have I een
captured or have surrendered and
tbe number of rifles. In an official
document issued by the War De
partment this week the total num
ber of Filipinoe captured and sur
rendered is given aa 41,029, while
tbe total number of rifles surrender
ed and captured is only 1,212. It
cannot be tbat 41,029 Filipinos
were fighting with only 1,212 rifles.
And if the surrendered Filipinos
have accreted their rifles it indciatcd
that they expect to have use for
them again.
It is now said in Washington
tbat Senator McLaurin's reward for
trying lo organise a white man's re
publican party in South Carolina,
addition to tbe control of the
Federal patronage of the State, ia to
be a seat on the Federal bench for
himself, after bis term in the Senate
endaJ . .' . .. . .
If the stories alleging that Mr.
McKinley has been convinced by
the popularity of ' Admiral 8chley
tbat he has been greatly maligned
by the Sampson clique in the Mavy
Department, and that it was bj his
.a aj .
express orders mat omcera woo
could be depeneed npbn to- give
Admiral. Schley ' fait play ', were
selected for members of the Court of
Inquiry, be true, there is one thing
more that he should do in the inter
est of fair play, and that is to get i
new Secretary of the Navy. Secre
tary Long has been notoriously anti-
Schley from the beginning of the
trouble, and it is an open secret
that he will leave no official stone
unturned to convict Schley of hav
ing disobeyed orders, as a failure to
secure such conviction will be prac-
ticelly a verdict of marked unfair
ness against himself. Howison, the
new member of the court, has been
a Sampson partisan, if he is not
now.
Senator Stewart, who has been on
all sides of every question and who
just now called himself n republi
can, wan in Washington this week,
whooping things up for Senator
Hnnna, whom he declared to be the
logical republican candidate in 1904.
If he and the other ilannrt shouters
can only swell Hanna's head suf
ficiently to make him grab the nom
ination for himself, instead of put
ting up a figure-head who will be
under his control, thev will do the
democrats a great favor. With
Manna for the republican candidate
he democrats could elect anybody
on any platform, or on no platform
except opposition to Hannaism and
all it stands for.

I was first advised by our family
physicinn in Uharleston to use
TEETHINA with our baby when
she was but a very young infant, as
a preventive of colic and to warm
and sweeten the stomach. Later it
was useful in teething troubles, and
its etlect has been lound to be so
very beneficial and bo free from the
dangers that are consequent upon
the use of drugs and soothing
syrups, that we have come to regard
t, after use with three children, as
one of the necessities when there is
new baby in the house and until
the teething troubles are over, and
we take pleasure in recommending
it to our friends instead of the hor
rid stuff that so many people use to
keep their babies quiet.

relief from Indigestion. Kodol

completely removes this complaint.
