"l'ou've b'en saying that for thir
teen months, too, pappy," said Jean,
laughing.
But her laugh was odd. She facet,
fcer uncle bravely, but her cheeks had
lost their pinkness suddenly, and her
breath came for a moment in little
gasps.
Mr. Hinckley wore spectacles, and
was not particularly observant, any
how. When Jean carried a baskeful oi
clothes out to the line, he gazed after
her, proudly and securely.
"The smartest gol in the countrj
ind the handsomest !" he reflected,
with commendable moderation. "It'i
got to be a fine feller that gits her awa;

Mr. Hinckley had to drive to tha
village that afternoon, to try and scare
np a decenter hired man than ' Hi

"Hi, there!" a teamster shouted.
"Turn out, can't you?"
"Turn out yourself, Seth Simpson,''

They were old friends, and the
grinned at each other.
But Mr. Hinckley's three-year-oTa

empty hay rack upon the rude Beat of

quickly and violently.
"You fool of a horse!" said het
Iriver good-hnmoredly. "Keep in the

He jerked her back, but she jumped

Mr. Hinckley was bending forward,

one of the protruding poles of the rack
ttruck him forcibly on the forehead,

Felt of his head in 4 daze of pain and

A voluminous voice was sounding it

Michigan division of the Big Four
Road, built a fire in his residence, he

dream of a strange, sticky liquid run
lown the stovepipe and over the floor.
He cleaned it np, bat it continued to

Ways of a Captive Wildcat.
Everybody has heard of Kie Arend's
wildcat. The cat was given K10 some
months ago, and ever since has been
living ou the fat of the land. The
cook, a colored woman, at Kic's place
feeds the cat, which has manifested a
great fondness for her. When she ap
proaches the cage he purrs in the most
pleasant manner, but if anybody else
Cornea about him he immediately
growls and shows his wicked looking
fangs. The cat is perfectly satisfied
with his home. Two or three times
his cage door has lieen accidentally
left open, but he never even walked
outside to see what the rest of the
world looked like. However, whenever
it occurred that the cage door was left
open, Kio always missed a chicken.
The Qthei' day he saw the cat catch
one. He simply crouched down by
the door and waited until the chicken,
oblivions of danger, came along, and
then he shot out his paw and had the
chicken by the head. After he catches
and kills the fowl he picks all the
feathers off it almost as carefully as a
cook, and uses his mouth in the opera
tion while holding the bird betweea
his paws. Florida . Times-Union.

about my case.
When I began fnii'iij ft, one year (tgt
latl July, J had ZH'si'EPSIA in its
v.orstform. I teas constipated, so murk
so at to always use injections, and I had
a constant PA Iff in my STOMACH

and I could not sit down on a stool or
get down to Jlx anything on the floor.
But now 1 can tit, or get down on my
knees, or do anything in my garden. J
feel like a iewprron. You must know
I was discouraged, as I have lost two

STOMACH TROUBLE. But I truly
believe if they had known of your

You can fix up my letter to suit yourself,
only do publish it, that women may
