The reward of those long menths of

Then they approached cautiously, with

laushed and cleared tho fence to get away
from them. "I think your master must

the foreman. "Some of these colts can
never have been backed."
The foreman looked his ndmlratlon. He
began to tnkc Gerry seriously; it was
man to man now Ho pointed" out that
the horses were broken to saddle and
named their gnits nnd mettle. Then his
shrewd eyes looked around for further

FARMER SMITH'S
GOODiNIGHT TALK
Dear Children I like the word "wonderful," don't you? Did yon ever
observe how a person begins to tako notice of what you aro saying when you
announco: "I have something WONDERFUL to tell you"?
On January 29 tho members of tho Rainbow Club in Cedar Grove, N. J.,
gave an entertainment, and you really ought to know how it was done. Tho
boys elected a president, vice president, secretary and a treasurer, and after
this was done the president wrote a letter to each of the women's organizations
in Cedar Grove and asked that a committee bo appointed from each to assist
tho girl members of tho club in making candy and cake.
This was promptly done, and when I returned to my home town I was
greeted with a great surprise the girls had gotten up a show of their own,
and it was SPLENDID.
The boys .acted as ushers and took the money and tho tickets trust the
boys for that
Then there was a Punch and Judy show by Professor Gaflfy, of Newark,
N. J., and, altogether, everybody had a good time.
Seven dollars was realized, which goes toward tho expense of the next
performance or toward renting a building.
When you undertako anything which you have never tried before, JUST
START the way will unfold for you.

Children's Editor, Evening Ledgeh.

(Continued)
WHAT IIAPPENED BEFORE
Two little white children were stolen by
tho Indians when they ero tery. young.
Their nkln as ilyod brown ami they did
not know that they wero not really Indians.
One day they net out for u maneloua c.io
about which thoy had heard tlw chief J
talk. They discovered it Whlla they
wero exploring tho cavern Kuwusha, tho
little boy. fell and sprained his tinkle. Hnd
it small tiro which they had built at tho
mouth tproad all over tho cae. Wanita
tha ilttlo girl, dashed out through, the
tlanies nnd callcd to a white man, John
Marshall for aid. Ilo bucceeded In puttlnK
most of the, tiro out. but when ha ,r'sh,f'l
Into tho cava Kawasha was cone. Finally
they discovered him unconscious In a secret
room of tho cave. Tha white man carried
him out. When Kawasha retrained con
sciousness, John Marshall put tho two
children in his canoo and proceeded to
tako thejn to his camp ivhlch was located
on an Island In the middle of tha river.
Half way across they spied Oreat Chief
Jted FcalW. . theterrorot tho Mohawks,
standing on the shore of the Island.
For just one half-second the white
man paused, then, "Quick, children,"
ho whispered hoarsely, "hide,
hide "
Just then an arrow whizzed through
the air. Like a flash two dark heads
disappeared from sight and two small
forms crouched in the bottom of the
canoe. The white man held his head
bravely high, slightly changed his
courso and steered calmly down the
smooth, broad river.
"Don't be afraid, littio ones," he
uttered as reassuringly as though
a shower of arrows was not whizzing
around his head. "He will not harm
us if he thinks wo-are not going near
the island." The white man was plan
ning rapidly in his mind. "We will
go upstream," he said aloud, "until he
is satisfied that we are headed for the
un-river camp. Then we'll swervo
over, paddle back and make a landing
I I& wiLjsK
you must give him for bluo ribbon. Do
you understand? You must bring bnck
bluo ribbon for your mistress. Sho says
sho must havo n, Ilttlo roll of bluo rib
bon." Tho darky acquiesced. TogcUicr they
saddled tho old homo and Bonifacio,
nrmed with a long bamboo to prod the
fat steer, mounted and cut out his charge
from tho herd. Gerry accompanied him
to tho bridge. "You understand, bluo rib
bon. A roll of bluo ribbon," ho shouted.
Tho old darky nodded gravely nnd re
peated, "Yes, master, a roll of bluo rib
bon. The mistress wishes a roll of bluo
ribbon. I'll not forgot"
Tho steer looked toacu from the desert
to tho green of tho pasturo and lowed.
Tho darky prodded him with his stick.
Tho steer lowed again nnd then Bhamblcd
off down tho trail. Horso nnd rider fol
lowed slowly. Gerry wntched them until
thoy wero a moro patch of dust In tho
distance; then ho hurried back to tho
house and sat down to wait again.
Night camo nnd with It horror. Tho
ordeal was on In earnest now. Gerry
stopped his cars with his fingers and sat
doggedly on. Hours passed and Boni
facio returned. He lnld a Ilttlo package
and somo money beside his master. Ho
unsaddled tho old horso and turned him
Into the pnsturo; then ho camo back, sat
down at Gerry's feet and slept. Gerry
looked with wonder on his nodding head.
Ho took his lingers from his cars. On
the Instant n high, unearthly shriek
seemed to rend Itself through lleih
through walls and then tore on swift
wings into the vnst silence that stretched
away Into tho night. The car could ttaco
the eyo could almost follow tho terri
fying illght of this demon of sound ns
it hurtled out over the valley, over the
still trees and the black water, until It
crashed against tho far banks of tho
river and died. Gerry dropped his faco
in his hands und sobbed. A low moan
ing was coming from tho houso and then
n new. strange sound a sound that struck
straight at tho heart the first wnlt of
tho first born. The moaning caught on
that cry, stumbled and recovered Into n
thin, weak laugh. Pain had passed and
with tho child was born laughter.
Gerry 3at stunned. It seemed Incredi
ble. That shriek and then moaning and
laughter In one weak breath! Was pain
such pain so Hhort lived? Tho echo of
tho tcrrlblo shriek still rang In his ears.
Then tho door opened nnd Dona Maria
camo bustling out. "Como In," sho cried;
"thou art tho father of a man child."
Gerry went In and knelt besldo the bed.
Margarita looked at him and smiled
faintly, proudly. He laid tho Ilttlo roll
of bluo ribbon in her weak hand. Sho
turned her head slowly and looked down.
Sho saw tho glint of bluo nnd understood.
Sho turned her eyes, swimming black
pools In a white, drawn face, to Gerry.
To sacrifice sho added adoration.
CHAPTER XXI.
THI3 calm which had settled on Alix'3
life puzzled her. She wondjred If she
was beginning to miss Gorry less. And
then sho remembered that she could never
have really missed him becauso sho had
never really known him. Colllngeford had
brought a fresh note into existence. She
felt that at tho end of his week on tho
Hill ho had fled from her fled from fall
ing In lovo with her Sho knew that ho
would come back. How should sho moot
hlm?
Sho was still debating the point when
Colllngeford arrived In tho city. Upon
arrival ho called upon Mrs. J. Y. and thon
on Nnrico and then, of course, on Allx.
As sho camo Into the room ho felt a
strango fluttering In his throat. It stop
ped his words of greeting. He stuttered
and stared. He had novcr felt so glad
at tho sight of any one.
"What aro you looking so dismayed

Then he added half to himself: "If
it wasn't for tho map"
Down in his place in tho bottom of
the canoe, Kawasha had been wonder
ing why they need go near the island
at all, so, boyliko, now he interrupted;
"What map, white man?"
John Marshall started. He had not
realized that he had been talking out
loud. He hesitated, then he spoke; "I
think I can trust you, little Indian
children; I will tell you. On that
island, hidden in a blanket in my tent,
is the map of a cave where a treasure
is buried. Chief Red Feather must
have heard that a white man has this
map, and has discovered my camp,
right in the neighborhood of the sup.
posed location of this cave.
"White man," Wanita burs forth,
almost forgetting to hide, "the cave

ing out her hand. "Has a. short yenr
changed mo.so much? Am I so thin or eo
fat?" '
Colllngeford recovered himself. "Neither
too thin nor too fat It is perfection, not
Imperfection, that dismays a man. You
call It a short year?" ho added gravely.
Ut's been an eternity not n year!"
But Allx was not to be diverted from
her tono df badinage. Sho looked him
over critically. "Well," sho said, "I con
gratulate you. I didn't know beforo Uiat
bronze could bronze. What a lot of
health you carry about with you."
Colllngeford smiled. "Clem said I
looked na thouglr I had been living on
babies." i
"Clem!" said Allx. "Well, I never knew
that young lady to stoop to flattery be
fore. Anyway, sho's wrong. You'ro not
pink enough."
"Pink!" snorted Co; "ngeford. "I should
hope not."
Thoy sat and stared nt each other.
Rach found tho ithcr good to look upon.
Scon nlone, Colllnp-ford's tall, tense
flguro or tho fragile quality of Allx's
palo beauty would havo seemed hard to
match. Seen together, they wero wonder
fully In tone. Allx grew gravo under In
spection, Colllngeford nervous. "Then)
Is no news?" ho r.skcd.
"Nono," said Allx nc a far-away look
camo Into her oyes ns If hor mind wero
off, thousands of miles, Intent on a search
of Its own.
Colllngeford broke tho spell. Ho Jumped
up and snld hi had como for Just ono
thing lo tako .or out for a walk. It was
one of those nippy early winter after
noons cut out to fit a walk. Allx must
put on her things. Sho did and together
they walked the long length of tho Avenuo
nnd out Into tho park
By that tlmo they had decided that It
was qulto a warm afternoon after all
almost warn enough to sit down. They
tried It. Colllrgeford sat half turned on
the bench nnd devoured Allx wltl- his
eyes
A full-blooded, clean young man In tho
presence of beauty Is not a reasonable
being. Colllngeford was trying to bo
reasonable nnd was falling utterly In
spfto of the fact that ho did not say n
word. And Just as he was going to nav
a word AlW gave him a full, measuring
look nnd snld. almost hnstlly, "It is too
cold, after all. Quite chilly. It was our
walking so fast deceived us." She rne
nnd started tentatively toward tho gate
"Come on. Honorable Percy," sho said
playfully.
Colllngeford caught up with her nnd
said moodily, "If you call mo Honorable
Percy again I shall dub you Honest
Allx."
They wero walking down tho Avenue.
"Honest Allx Isn't half bad." ho con
tinued thoughtfully. "Tho race has got
into tho hnblt of yoking the word honest
to our nttltudc toward other people's
pennies but It's a good old wonl that
stands for trustworthy, sincere, truthful
nnd nil tho other ndjectlvcs that lit
straight riding."

I Tho CORSET of HEALTH, STYLE and COMFORT 1

Our original "Military-Belt" Corset was
introduced in 1905. It reigned supreme for
years. A host of women would wear no other
corset; and many thousands remember it yet.
Three years ago came that wretched fash
ion craze the "slouch." Too many women
changed from corsets to "rags;" but now, common
sense having returned, they long for their old favorite.
Well, it's here! We have made a new
Military-Belt Corset that's even more grace
ful and helpful than the old one, and the Introductory
Sale is now on. Two models, for SLENDER and
MEDIUM figures only:
No,330-With ahort top)$o nn
No, 333-With higher top PO U
You can't "slouch11 in this corset the Military
Belt bids you to stand erect, to breathe deeply and to
anume the pouo of youthful health and grace.
If "topless" corsets have left you with a lump ol
fat above the waist-line, these corsets will take care
of that most comfortably.
In appearance, construction, material and style,
this corset sets a new high standard of value at S3, 00.
It is the acme oi comfort, and tho bettMnctia existence for W0(8n
of slender and medium figures. ,

Good Water Aid to
Prevent GalL-Stonea
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
Of course the primary cause of gait,
stones Ib Inflammation of tho lining of
tho bllo duets In the liver or the Ilttini
of tho galUsae. This Inflammation it
probably always produced by Infection
the typhoid bacillus nnd Its first cousin,
tho colon bnctlus, being notorious fac
tors of such Inflammation. Often, Indeed,
living typhoid bacilli are demonstrated In
tho centre of a gall-tono 10 or 15 year
after the atack of typhoid fever,
Stones form in this way: A clump of
germs Irritates tho mucous lining and
causes tho secretion of excessive mucus,
which adheres to the clump of germs,
forming a foreign body In the gall-sac or
tho ducts. Cholostcrin, a crystalline snb
stanco of tho bile. Is deposited upon tha
nidus, and lime salts may also bo depos
ited upon tho nidus In concentric layers.
So tho stone grows, sometimes to tho elzo
of sand grains, blrdshot or ptas, somo
timos as big as chestnuts, sometimes one
largo stono filling the gall-sac, perhaps
as largo as n pigeon's egg.
Certainly moderation in eating eating
only enough to maintain a normal weight
for ono's height, ago and sex, or less
than enough to maintain an excessive
weight (most gall-stono victims are overs
weight) is a preventive measure in per
sons inclined to gall-sac trouble
Less meat or meat broths and maw
vegetables, cereals and fresh fruit
Ono with gall-sac trouble (doctors call
cholecystitis) should keen the bonrnla

clso and, habit
Salines, either In the form of natural
spring waters or tho various saline ca-
tnartics of the druggist, aro good for oc
casional use, not to regulato tho bowels,
but to reduce engorgement of Uio portal
(liver) area. Sufficient should bo taken,
preferably early in tho morning, to pro
duce a fow watery evacuations.
