We vouch for this-absolutcly.
It has been proven to at beyond the possibility of a doubt that a new medica
ment known as D. D. D. clears up the worst skin affections quickly. Its work
seems astonishing, amating, almost miraculous. (It is a specific formula which,
because of its discovery by Dr. Decatur Dennis, is known as "D, D. D.") Its
actual record sounds like a story of magic. But there is no room for doubt about
it whatever; full proofs indisputable irf every reaped, have been submitted to us
regarding hundreds of cases among them the one case mentioned here of Mrs.
Anrens, who was cured to 21 days. The results are not only complete, but per
manent; in this case it is now nearly two years since the disease was cleared out
of the skin, and- no taint of it has appeared since.
Each one of the known skin affections is parasitic in nature, and all of them
bave yielded to "D. D. D." The preparation is being used by most of the skin
specialists. It is compounded for druggists solely by the D. D. D. Co., 70
Dearborn Street, Chicago. It Is utilized by every family physician who has taken
the trouble to investigate the work it is accomplishing. It is used in the Cook
County Hospital, Chicago. It will clear away any parasitic break in the skin in
from three days to sixty days time. Visit the undersigned and see proofs that will
oake yea happier human, $1.00 buys the prescription already made op in
sealed bottles, with authentic label on each.

' "Thank you," said Keating. "That Is
certainly the count to follow.'

"Walt a minute." said the Judge.
"There's no train due Just now." And
Minnie appeared In the doorway with
i litg pitcher of crab apple cider, rich
nd amber hued. sparkling, cold and
redolent of the sweet aiuelllng orchard
where It waa born. Behind Miss Brla
eoe came Ml My Upton with glasses and
a fat, shaking, four storied jelly cake
on a second tray. The Judge passed
his cigars around, and the gentlemen
took them blithely, then bestltattngly
bold them in tbelr fingers aud glanced
at the ladles, uncertain of permission.
"Let me get you some matches,"
Flelen aald quickly, and found a box
on the table and banded them to Kent
lug. Every one sat beaming, and fra
grant veils of smoke soon draped the
room.
"Why do you call her 'Miss Shcr

lug's ear.
"That's her name."
"Ain't she the daughter of that old
fellow over there by the window? Ain't
her name Flsbee?"
"No; she's his daughter, but her legal
name's Sherwood. She's an adop"
"Great Scott! I know all about that

She can easy get a new name, that
lady. And If she took a fancy to Bos

"I expect she won't take a fancy to
Boswell very early," said Keating.
"Go may," returned Mr. Boawcll
"What do you want to any that for?
Can't you bear for anybody to be hap
py a minute or two now and then?"
Warren Smith approached Helen and
inquired If it would be asking too much
If they petitioned her for some music,
and she. went to the piano and sang
some darky songs for them, with a
quaint suggestion of the dialect. Two
er three old fashioned negro melodies
of Foster, followed by some rollicking
modern Imitations, with the movemeut
and spirit of a tin shop falling down a
flight of stairs. Her audience listened
In delight from the first But the latter
songs quite overcame them with pleas
ure and admiration, and before she fin
ished every bead In the room waa Jog
ging from side to side and forward
and back in time to the music, while
every foot shuffled the measures on the
carpet
When the gentlemen from out of
town discovered that it was time to
leave if they meant to catch their train
Helen called to them to watt and they
gathered around her.
"Jost one second," she aald. And she
poured all the glasses full to the brim.
Then, as she stood in the center of the
circle they made around her, she said:
"Before you go shan't 'we pledge
each other to our success In this good
borne grown Indiana cider that leaves
eur heads clear and our arms strong?
If you will-theu" She began ; to
blush furiously, and her voice trem
bled, but she lifted the glass high over
her head and cried bravely, "Here'a to
aur cnudidutel" ' ' j
The big men, .towering oyer her,
tnrew Dark their beads and quaffed
the gentle llfjm to the lust drop. Then
they sent up tlie first sbout of the
campaign and cheered till the rafters
rang.
"My friends," said Mr. Keating as be
and- DosweU and the men from Gaines
j drove away from the brick house "my
friends, here Is where I begin the
I warmest hustling I ever did. Now, I
guess we all think this Is a great
plan"
"It Is a glorious Idea said Mr.
Bonce. "The name of Iiarkless"
Keating drowned the oratory: "But
that isn't all. That little girl wants it
to succeed, and that setth It He
goes." .
That night Mr. Parker, at work in
the printing office, perwlvcd the figure
of Mr. Tlpwurthy beckoning him mys
teriously from the pavetwut

"Listen, Hbe's slngln' over ber work."
Parker sK-ppwi outside. On the pave
ment people hail stopped to listen.
They stood In the shadow. looking up
with parted lips at the open, lighted
windows whence came a clear, soft,
reaching voice, lifted Ineffably la song.
Now it swelled louder unconsciously;
uow Its volume was more slender, and
it melted liqiildly luto the night; again
it tretnblrd and rose and dwelt In the
ear, strong and pure, and bearing it
yu sighed with unknown longings. It

with him. and Parker saw that she
turned from the window and that she
was crying quietly. Rue put her band
on the boy's shoulder and patted it
with a forlorn gesture which to the
foreman's eye was as graceful as it
was sad. He moved closer to Bud, and
bis big hand fell on Cynthia's brother's
other shoulder as. be realized that red
hair could look pretty sometimes, ami
be wondert-d why the editor's singing
made Cynthia cry, and at the same
time he dec!dd ta be mighty good to
Bud henceforth. The spell of night snd
song waa on him; that and something
more, for It Is a strange, inexplicable
fact that the most practical chief ever
Smown to the Herald bad a singularly
sentimental Influence over ber subordi
nates from the moment of her arrival.
Under Iiarkless' domination there bad
been no more steadfast bachelors lu
Carlow than Boss Scbofleld and Caleb
Parker, and, like timorous youths In a
gTaveysrd, daring and mocking the
ghosts in order to assuage their own
fears, tln-y bad so gibed and Jeered at
the married state that there was talk
of urging the minister to preach at
them, but now let It be recorded that at
the moment Caleb laid his hand on
Bud's other shoulder bis sssoclate. Mr.
Scbofleld. wns enjoying a walk In the
far end of town with a widow, and It is
not to te doubted that Mr. TIpworthy'a
heart also was no longer lnbls posses
slon, though, as it was aftr 8 o'clock,
the damsel of his desire had Drobablv
long since retired to her conch.
For a faint light on the cause of
these spells we must turn to a com
ment made by the Invaluable Mr. Mar
tin some time afterward. Referring to
me lady to whose voice he was' now
listening In silence, which shows how
great the enthralling of her voice was,
he aald, "When you saw ber or beard
ber or managed to be around anywhere
she waa, whyt If you couldq't git up no
bo of marryln' her you wanted to
marry somebody."
Mr. Llge WHIetts, riding idly by,
drew rein In front of the lighted win
dows and listened with the others.
Presently be leaned from bis horse
and whispered to a man near him, "I
know that song."
"Do your whispered the other.
"Yes, He and I beard her sing It the
night he was shot We stood outside
Briscoe's and listened."
"Sol"
" 'It's a seraphic song," he said," con
tinued Llge.
"Nor exclaimed his friend. Then,
shaking his bead, be sighed, "Well, It's
mighty sweet"
The song was suddenly woven Into
laughter in the unseen chamber, and
the lights In the windows went out,
and a small lady and a tall lady and a
thin old man, all three laughing and
talking happily, came down and drove
off In tbe Briscoe buckboard. William
Todd took his courage between his
teeth and, the song ringing In his ears,
made a desperate resolve to call upon
Miss Bardlock that, evening In spite of
its being a week day, and Caleb Parker
gently and atammetlngly asked Cyn
thia if she would wait till he shut up
tbe shop and let him walk home with
ber and Bud.
Soon the square was quiet as before,
and there was naught but peace under
the big stars of July.
That day tbe uews had come that
narkless, after weeks of slternate im
provement and relapse, hazardously
lingering In the borderland of shadows,
bad passed the crucial point' and was
convalescent Hla recovery waa as
sured. But from their first word of
him, from the message that he waa
found and was alive, none of tbe peo
ple of Carlow bad really doubted.
They are simple country people, and
they know that God Is good.

satlon whatever. A capitalist bouirbt
tbe whole north side of the square to
erect new stores, and the Carlow bank
began the construction of a new bank
building of Bedford stone on tbe corner
opposite the Herald. Then it was whis
pered, next affirmed, that Main street
'was to be asphalted. That was the end
of the "old days" of Plattvllle.
But tbe man who bad laid tbe foun
dation upon which the new Plattvllle
was to be built be who through the
quiet labor of years bad stamped his
spirit on the people, lay sick in hit
friend's bouse and did not care.
Tom Meredith had taken him from
the hospital to hla own borne on
quiet street In Rouen, and John was
well enough of his hurts to be taken
abroad sometimes In a victoria, where
he reclined, gray and thin, seemingly
no more than a long afternoon shad
ow. But for days he would ile in a
lethargy that made Tom despair. The
soul of the country editor was sick in
side of him; he was weary and worn
and pain had left him dulled, except
when he thought of returning to Piatt
vllle; then he felt physical horror. The
place did not need him, nor be tbe
place. Fisbee bad found a young rela
tive to run the Ileratd. who signed his
typewritten business letters "H. Fls-
bee" in a strapping band that suggest
ed six feet of muscle spattering Ink on
Its shirt sleeves.
John wondered idly where old Fis
bee bad raked up a relative, and he
thought It probable that H. Flsbee was
a Yankee cousin of tbe old man, but
he did not care much for that or for
anything except to keep away from
Carlow for the rest of his life, since
he was to live. Axtd there was no lon
ger need to go there. He was glad to
know that H. Flsbee had written him
before tbe oil bubbled in Eph's wells
that to buy stock In Mr. Watts' com
pany might be profitable, especially as
the stock was then so low that it was
almost Imperceptible, and narkless bad
a little money he had saved. He let
Meredith arrange it for him, and a few
days later the spek leaped cloudward.
However, hlsuodest riches Interest
ed him as little as did everything else.
He left his bed less and less, took no
more drives, and bis lethargy deep
ened. The only thing in which he showed
Interest was the congressional cam
paign of the district It was far ad
vanced before the Herald spoke of It
at all. and Iiarkless saw that McCune
hn lifted bis bead.

that time regard me aa a mere spectator.
I do not fear that you will make any mis
takes. Tou have done very much better In
all matters than I could have done myself.
At present I have only one suggestion: I
observe that your editorials concerning
Halloway'a renomlnatlon are something
lukewarm. It la very Important that ha
be renominated, not so much on account
of assuring his return to Washlngto (for
he la no Madison, I fear), but the fellow
McCune must be beaten If we have to
end him to the penitentiary on an old
Issue to do It The man ta corrupt to the
bone. He ha been bought and sold, and I
am glad the proofs of it axe In your
hands, as you tell me you found them, as
directed. In my desk. The papers you
hold drove hira out of politics onoa by the
mere threat of publication. Tou should
have printed them last weak, as I sug
gested. Do so at once; tha time la short
The Herald is a little paper (not so little
nowadaya, after all. thanks to you), but
It Is an honest one. and it isn't afraid of
Rod McCune and his friends. Please let
m see aa hearty a word as you can say
for HaUoway also. Tou can write with
ginger. Please let us have some in this
matter. I am, very truly "yours,
JOHN HARKLESS.
When the letter was concluded, he
handed It to Bleredith. "Please ad
dress that put a special' on it and send
it Tom. It should go at once, so as to
reach him tonight"

"Yes H, Flsbee. .
"I believe It does yoa good to write,
boy," said the other as he bent over
him. "You look more chirrupy than
you have for several days."
'It a that beast McCune. This youne
Flsbee Is rather queer sbout It I felt
stirred up as I went along." But even
before the sentence was finished the
favor of age and utter weariness re
turned, and the dark lids closed over
his eyea. They opened again slowly.
and he took tbe ether's hand and looked
up at him mournfully; but, as It were,
his soul' shone forth in dumb and elo-
quent thanks.
'I I'm giving you a Jolly summer.
Tom," be said, with a .quivering effort
to smile. "Don't you think I am? I
don't I don't know what I should bave
done"
'You old Indian!" aald Meredith ten
derly.
Three days later Tom was rejoiced
by symptoms of lnvlgoratlon In his pa
tient A telegram came for Iiarkless,
and Meredith, bringing it into tbe sick:
room, was surprised to find the occu
pant sitting straight up on his couch
without the prop of pillows. He was
reading the day's copy of the Herald,
and bis face was flushed and bis brow
stern.
