Mrs. Daniel Kintner, of Defiance, O., had 6uch an experience, regard ing which she says: "1 had stomach trouble when I was eighteen years old that broke down my health, and for years I suffered with nervousness, headache, indiges tion and nervous spasms. The spasms got so bad I would have them three or four times &'':. m a week. After try ing nearly every remedy, recom mended, I began Dr. Miles' Nervine, and I muay it helped ma wonderfully. I have had no severe nerv ousness for several years." - MRS. DAN KINTNER, 1002 Pleasant St., Defiance, O. Many remedies are recommended for diseases of the nervous system that fail to produce results because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in such cases so many times that it is unnecessary to make;j claims for it. You can prove its merits for yourself by getting a bottle of your druggist, who will return the price if 'you receive no benefit. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. 2,,-.

The woman discovers the man to be a dis guised impostor, attacks the Intruder and. there is a general meleu. CHAPTER IX. The dissrulsed leader proves to be Major Brennan, a Federal officer whom the Union girl recognizes. He orders the arrest of Wayne as a spy. The girl protests and says she will appeal to General Sheridan. 'Sentry," she said in her old ira-. perious manner, "I desire to place this hat on the head of your prisoner." The fellow glanced uneasily over his shoulder at the seemingly unconscious officer, not knowing whether it were better to permit the act or not, but she waited for no permission. "Captain Wayne," she said, her Toice grown kindly in a moment, and her eyes frankly meeting mine, "you will pardon such liberty, I am sure, but it is not right that you should be compelled to march uncovered in thia sun." She placed the hat in position, ask ing as she did so: "Doas that feel comfortable?" "The memory of your thoughtful- ness, I replied warmly, bowing aB test I might, "will make the march pleasant, no matter what its ejd may mean to me," Her eyes darkened with sudden emotion. " "Do not deem me wholly ungrate ful," she said quickly and in a low tono. "The conditions are such that I an utterly helpless now to aid you. Major Brennan is a man not to be lightly disobeyed, but I shall tell my story to General Sheridan so soon as we reach his camp." I would have spoken again, but at this moment Brennan came striding toward us. "Come, ' Edith," he cried, almost roughly, "this foolishness has surely gone far enough. Peters, what are you waiting here for? I told you to take your prisoner down the road." ; A few moments later, the centre of a little squad of heavily armed men, I was tramping along the rocky path way, and when once I attempted to glance back to discover if the others followed us, the sergeant advised me, with an oath, to keep my eyes to the front I obeyed him. It must have been nearly the end of the afternoon. We had certainly traversed several miles, and were then moving almost directly south upon a well-defined pike, the name of which I never knew. All the party were traveling close together, when tha scout, who throughout the day had been kept a " few hundred yards in advance, came back toward us on a run, his hand flung up in an urgent warning to halt. "What is it, Steele?" Brennan ques tioned, spurring forward to meet him. "Come, speak up, manl" "A squad of cavalry has just swung onto the pike, sir, from the dfrt road that leads toward the .White Briar," was the soldie?s"panting reply "And I could get a glimpse through the trses down the valley, and there's a heavy infantry column just behind them. They're Rebs, sir, or, I don't know them." - "Rebs?" with an incredulous laugh. "Why, man, we've got the only Reb here who is east of the Briar." "Well," returned the scout, sullen ly, N'they're coming from the west, and I know they ain't our fellows.1. He was too old a soldier to have his judgment doubted, and he was evidently convinced. Brennan glanced quickly about. However he may Lave sneered at the report, he was not rash enough to chance so grave a mistake. : ' "Get back into those rocks there on the right," he commanded sharply. "Hustle your prisoner along lively, men, and one of you stand over him with a cocked gun; if he so much & opens his mouth, let him have it." Rapidly as we moved, we were scarcely all under cover before the ad vance cavalry guard came la sight, tha "WASHING' J I troop of them all told, yet theliTBhort gray jackets and wide-brimmed light hats instantly told the- story of their service. Their rear rank was yet In sight when we heard the heavy tread of the approaching column, together with the dull tinkle of Bteel which al ways accompanies marching ' troops. Peering forth as much as I dared Trom behind tfce thick brush where I had been roughly thrown face down ward, I saw the head : of that solid, sturdy column swing around the sharp bend in the road, and in double front, spreading from rock to rock, coma steering down toward us.

I could distinguiL4 no badge, no insignia of either corps or division; the circling dust enveloped them in a choking, disfiguring cloud. But they were Confederates! . I marked them well; here and there along the toiling ranks I even noted a familiar face, and there could be no mistaking the gaunt North Caro lina mountaineer, the sallow Georgian, or the jaunty Louisiana Creole.. They were ConfederatestPackei 's Division of Hill's corps, I could have almost sworn east-bound on forced march, and I doubted not that each cross-road to left and right of us would likewise show its hurrying gray column, sturd ily pressing forward. The veteran fighting men of the left wing of the Army of Northern Virginia were bold ly pushing eastward to keep their tryst with Lee. The despatch in trusted to my care had been borne safely to Longstreet. The keen joy of it lighted up my face, and Brennan turning toward me as the last limping straggler disap peared over the ridge, saw it, and grew white with anger. "You Rebel cur!" he cried fiercely, in his sudden outburst of passion, "what does all this mean? Where ia thct division bound?" "Some change in Longstreet's front, I should judge," I answered coolly, too happy even to note his slur. "You know better," he retorted hot ly. "The way those fellows march tell3 plainly enough that they havo covered all of fifteen miles since day break. It is a general movement, and, by Heaven! you shall answer Sheridan, even if you won't me." CHAPTER XI. In the Presence of Sheridan. It had been dark for nearly an houi before we entered what was from all appearances a large and populous camp. No sooner was I thrust into the unknown darkness of a hut by the not unkindly sergeant, than I threw myself prone on the floor, and was cound asleep before the door had fair ly closed behind him. My rest was not destined to be a long one. It seemed I had barely closed my eyes when a rough hand shook me again Into consciousness, The flaming glare of an uplifted pine knot flung its radiance over half-a-do3tn figures grouped in the open doorway. A corporal, with a white chin beard, was bending over me. - "Come, Johnny," he said tersely. "get up you're wanted." The instinct of soldierly obedience ia which I had been so long trained caused me to grope my way to my feet. "What time is it. Corporal?" I asked sleepily. "After midnight" "Who wishes me?" "Headquarters," he returned brusque ly. "Come, move on. Fall in, men." Our march was a short one, and we soon turned abruptly in at a wide open gateway. High pillars of brick stood upon either hand, and the pas saga wa3 well lighted by a brightly blazing fire of log3. Two sentries stood there, and our party passed be tween them without uttering a word, As we moved beyond tho radiance I noted a little knot of cavalrymen si lently sitting their hcrse3 in the Ehadow cf the high ' wall. A wide. gravelled walk, bordered, I thought, with flowers, led toward the front door of a commodious hot;?e built aftr tha young officer came quickly forward. "Is this- the prisoner brought In to night?" The corporal pushed me forward. "This is the man, sir." "Very well; hold your command here until I send other orders." 'He rested one hand, not unkindly, upon my arm, and his tone instantly changed from that of command to gen erous courtesy. "You will accompany me, and per mlt me to advise you, for your own sake, to be as civil as possible in your answers tonight, for the 'old man la In. one of his tantrums." We crossed the rather dimly lighted hall, which had a -sentry posted at either end of it, and then my con ductor threw open a side door, and silently motioned for me to enter in advance of him. It was as spacious room, elegant in all Its appointments, but my hasty glance revealed only three occupants. Sitting at a hand, somely polished mahogany writing table near the centre of the apart ment was a short, stoutly built man, with straggly beard and fierce, stern eyes. I recognized him at once, al though ho wore neither uniform nor c;her insignia of rank. Close beside him stood a colonel of englEeers, pos s'oly his chief cf staff, while to the riht, lsanicg negligently with ora arm on the mantel-shelf above the fire flacc, and smiling Insolently at me, was Brennan. The eight cf him stiffened me like a drink of brandy,' and as the young aide closed the door in my rear, I st.prtd instantly forward to the table, facing h'.m who I hnew must be in command, and removing my hat, sa-T-jd. 'This is the rrisccer you sent for, "r," announced the aide. Tho officer, who remained seated, looVed at me Intently. "Ilr.va I over met 'you before?" he ucrlicTied, as though doubting his r-"ory., 'You hive, General Sheridan," I re ;:cu. "I v,as with General Early jrinj your conference at Whitr .lorse Tavern. I also bore a flag to ;-cu. after the cavalry skirmish at Wil son's Ford." "I remember," shortly, and as he 3poko he wheeled in his chair to face Brennan. "I thought you reported this offi cer as a spy?" he raid sternly.' "Kg is in uniform, and doubtless told you his name and rank." "I certainly had every reason to be lieve he penetrated our lines in dis guise," was the instant reply. "Thi3 cavalry cloak was'found with him, and consequently I naturally supposed his claim of rank to be false." Sheridan looked annoyed, yet turned back to me without administering the sharp rebuke which seemed burning upon his lips. - -- "Were you wearing that cavalry cloak within our lines?" he questioned sternly. "I was not, sir; it was Indeed lying upon the floor of the hut when Major Brennan entered, but I had nothing to do with it." He gazed at me searchingly for a moment in silence. (To Be Continued.) BRIDE CLAD AS 3LN. Couple Cross Continent on Baggage Car Bumpers Woman Nearly Dead. , , Buffalo Dispatch in New York Trib une. "Beating" her way in men's cloth ing across the continent for love of the man she married four months ago, and barred from any friend ship with her own sex, Mrs. Chris tine McWilliams, 20 years old, rode into Buffalo early today on the blind baggage" of a Lake Shore ex press from Cleveland with her hus band. Then she was hauled from the bumper of the first car, where she had been sleeping in the arms of "Cass" McWilliams, who tried to keep his girl wife and himself out of sieht when the railroad detec tives came on them. Coated with ice and exhausted, they were taken from their preca rious position by the trainmen and carried to a flag shanty. After the pair had been thawed out the train men began to ask questions. Then it was that the identity of the smal ler of the two tramps was revealed to the amazed railroaders. The husband, anxious as to the condition of his wife, asked that they be put in charge of the police to get proper care. McWilliams and his girl-wife were well cared for and then taken be fore Judge Judge and charged with vagrancy. Married four months ago In Los Angeles to Christine Jamison, a pret ty school teacher, McWilliams had a good job as a structural steel work er. Then came the laying off of workmen, among them McWilliams. He decided to strike for New York But the small amount of money which stood between Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams and starvation was out of the question for transportation, It was the girl who suggested a method of travel of which she had read, and she finally persuaded the reluctant husband to fit her out in some of his clothes, and -together they started on the journey, across the continent. From Los ogeles thev went to Kansas City; froTn Kansas City to St. Louis; then striking north for Chicago, where they stayed for several days. Start ing again they reached Cleveland. It was Tuesday that they left the Ohio city and jumped on the "blind baggage" of an express train from Cleveland to Buffalo on the Lake Charlotte Observer. Royal E. Cabell, United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has made some remarkable state ments in his annual report showing that the internal revenue receipts last year were the best In the hia-j tory of the Government, amounting to $322,526,299. Another very re markable statement of Mr. Cabell is that last year the production of distilled spirits in the United States was 175,402,395 gallons, or nearly 7,000.000 gallons more than in 1907, the previous banner year. The production of beer, ale, etc., aggre gated 63,216,851 barrels, or nearly 4,p00,000 barrels more than in the previous banner year, 1910. There are now in the bonded warehouses of the United States, ripening for use, 249,279,346 gallons of Intoxi cating liquors. Still another very re markable statement In Mr. Cabell's report is that there has been a very , , 1 lllfni. largo increase 111 u 11111,1 l uiauuidb-i ture of liquor In North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee! and Virginia. The first four of these States are supposed to be pro hibition and in Virginia the stuff is sold only in incorporated cities and towns and then only in towns in which the question of the sale of the stuff has been submitted' to the qualified voters.

I j ! j fho::e WOMAN WHO WAS HAN EG D AT MOXROH. Two Slaves, One of Them a Woman, Paid the Death Penalty for tho Murder of Their Mistress The Jurors That Tried the Caso. Monroe Journal. Last week the Journal published an article that is going the rounds of the State press concerning the very few women that have been ex ecuted in this State for a crime. This served to call to mind to many people about here the fact that a colored woman and her husband were hanged here about the close of the war, and many persons now liv ing were present at the execution which was public after the manner of that day, and occurred on a spot of land now owned by Mrs. D. A. Covington in the southern part of town. The slaves were Henry Aus- tin and his wife, Mary Hamilton, and they murdered their mistress, Mrs. J. E. Austin, in a field on the home place on Rocky River. The woman belonged to Mrs." Austin's father, the late William Hamilton, and had been loaned to his daugh ter. The man belonged to Mr. Aus tin. As the law of the time pro vided, the cost of the" trial was col lected from the owners of the 6laves. They were sentenced by Judge Heath, the presiding Judge, on October 27th, 1864, and were executed on the 25th of the next month by Sheriff F. L. Rogers. The two were tried separately, the man first, and the juries who heard the case are of Interest. Those who found Henry guilty were James W. Price, George W.
