Linda's lovers By MARTHA M'CULLOCH-WILLIAMS. Copyright, 1907. by Mary McKeon. 6 a "Linda, do tell a fellow how you do it. You're no beauty positively, your nose Is a snub--yet here you hare Lowton's three best beans so fascinat ed they won't look at another girl when you're around." Derry's voice was judicial, but the ' twinkle In his eyes belied its measured note. Linda Bryson chose to answer the eyes rather than the words. "Unless you stop being tiresome I shall call Aunty ram," she said. "I know she Is dying tobave you tell her j all about the Greer funeral." j "Say, do you know there's a law against cruel and unusual punish ments ?" Derry asked, with an accent . of deep Injury. 'Is there? Dear me! How do you happen to know it being a lawyer?" Linda flung back at him. "People say. you knowthat the less law you have , the more cases you win." ' "People in this case meaning Phil ; Gray. I didn't think he's be so nasty j over the drubbing I gave him," Derry I said tranquilly. "I shall have to look out for m3-Felf. Unless old Thil had '. bejn more than professionally jealous he never in the world would have said such a thing." "Why should he be jealous of any body? we're engaged have been since hist Thursday." Linda pouted. Derry breathed hard Just once, then caught both her hands and pressed them warmly, saying: "I see. you had to console the boy. He was pretty crestfallen when he left the courthouse that afternoon. Of course I wish you joy all kinds of joy dou ble riveted, copper fastened, and I con gratulate him with all my heart. But, honestly, Lin, are you sure" "Sure of what?" Linda asked saucily, though with the least shake of the voice. "Ti'hy, that you love Phil well enough to live with him all your life?" Derry began. "Are you sure yon love Julia Moore that way?" Linda countered. Derry stared at her. "Julia Moore! What has she got to do with it?" he asked. Linda flung up her head. "She must have a heap to do with It, since you are going to marry her. HE HELD IIElt FACING HIM AXT LOOKED HEB FULL IX THE EYES. Hush!" us she saw Derry about to whistle. "I know. She told me so herself." "When?" Derry asked, his voice low and steady. Linda tried to look re flective, but her blushes betrayed her. "It was same time last week," she stammered at last. "We were coming home together" "Krom the courthouse. I saw you there listening to the speeches," Derry Interrupted. Then, with a quizzical smile: "With such authority I must of course aree. All the same, Linda, I thought you understood that you you were playing with the others so as to wait for me. I couldn't speak out un til I had got from under the load of my father's debts." . "Julia can free you. That was why," Linda began, then stopped short, her eyes on the fire. After a minute she went on clearly: "I had to think you were tired of an uphill flght Besides, 70a were free as air. There had never been a word between us." "No worse luck," Derry said, rising and walking twice across the room.' It was big and dim, full of faded furni ture, the tiny, scantily filled grate, set in the big chimney breast speaking eloquently of tile change from a time of hospitable plenty. Aunt Pam bad the house; Linda, a narrow income. Therefore they lived without work, aa became gentlewomen born, though Lin da was more than a little restive. "What If I am a born BrysonT It won't hurt me to trim bats or make cotillon favors for play? Goodness knows I do enough of It for lnvlta rtlons and Thank you, dear.' And I do Ibelleve the very people that Impose on line would think more of me If I 'charged them round prices," she had aid more than once. But always Aunt iPam and Aunt Pant's ideas had pra Tailed. The one way out was marriage , with some good steady fellow of de .cent patrimony and the knack of get Cng on in the world. Phil Gray had both, hence stood high 1 .- tth Annt Pam. She liked Allen Derry well enough. His mother had been her dearest friend. Bnt there were the debts the oa!y thiug Judga Derry had left his son. A spotless reputation, of course, did not count against lack of financial foresight. Tlie judga Lad been beguiled not only iiit'j risking bis own ' mouey, but into giving his neighbors bad advice. It was the neighbors Alien was paying, although they had not the least shadow of legul claim. Phil Gray had said it was "magnificent but not business." Aunt Pam agreed with him heartily. Still, sua had been always motherly kind to Allen, having no ..suspicion of what was in his heart and Linda's. Allen stopped his pacing abruptly and said. looking over Linda'3 head: ! "Phil is a good chance, also a good fel low. I hope he'll make you happy as the day Is long. I know he'll try. But tell me, have you put on his ring?" "Not yet," Linda said -very low. Derry caught her hands and drew her to her feet. He held her facing him ' and looked full in her eyes as he said brokenly: "Then give me one little Inch of love. I know you love me even as I love you. We wrong nobody I shall no more than kiss you once. All I want Is to have you look up at me from my breast and say, 'Allen, I love you with the love that casteth out ; all fear.' " j "Allen, 1 love yon with the love that 1 casteth out all fear," Linda repeated submissively, laying her head against his shoulder. His arms Infolded her. ; For a long minute they stood silent, trembling through and through with a sense of sacred farewells. Then A1--len bent and kissed her, saying gently as he put her away from him, "Remem-' ber, no matter what happens here, you are mine through all eternity." "Goodby," Linda said, her voice clear and unshaken. "Goodby," Allen echoed and turned toward the door. It stood open, inframing Phil Gray, whose face was very white, but whose eyes were steady and kindly. He came to ' the two at the hearth with outstretched hands, saying: "I did not mean to spy on you; but, thank God, I heard. The mistake that has been made is not past undoing. Linda, I set you free. Now choose between us." With a happy cry, Linda put her hand , In Derry's and hid her blushes upon j his breast. Gray drew a hard breath, j but smiled gallantly and asked: "Are you surprised to see me here? I am . surprised to be here. But there's a rea- j son for It. Allen, old man, read that It came to us an hour back. You know our firm settled up your father's af- j fairs." j Allen took the yellow slip, but the words on It danced before him. It was Phil's last good office to read to him that the mine, so long held worthless, , had turned out to be marvelously rich. All the money that had been sunk In It would come back a hundredfold. "You'll be rich, you two so rich you can buy all Lawton," he said at last smiling. Linda held out her hand to him. So did Derry as together they said, "And be sure we will marry and live happy ever after." Man at the Helm. There was no doubt In the minds of people who knew the Camerons as to who was the head of the house in every sense of the word. So accus tomed were the Camerons, large and small, to look to "father" for advice and opinions on every subject that they unconsciously afforded more or less amusement to their friends. "Do you mind this extreme cold weather, Mrs. Cameron?" some one asked her one icy winter day, and the little lady smiled cheerily. "Oh, father says It's much healthier for everybody than last winter," she answered. "He says we all feel much better than we did." ! "Indeed:" said the friend, with a ! spice of malice. "I thought I heard ; that all of you except Mr. Cameron i had been quite ill with throat trou- j bles." 1 "Yes, so we have," admitted the ' adoring wife, "but as father says, he knows just when we got our colds. It was that time the weather changed so suddenly while he was in New York, and he doesn't intend to let it happen again." Youth's Companion. Rackets. There is a good deal of simplicity about the game of rackets, but It Is so fast that one has to move into posi tion rapidly, hit rapidly and recover rapidly. The movements of a player must be almost Instinctive. This is the reason why those who learn the game very young have better prospects. The greatest mistake of men who take up rackets In this country Is that they often learn bad form at the start, which only the most careful practice will enable them to ever overcome. As a matter of fact a good many of bur players do not care to take the time for such -practice. - Bad footwork and a poor wrist are the causes of the down fall of nearly all of our second and third class players. Plenty of men, physically well equipped tor the most Btrenuoor -rackets, - win peg along for years and nver learn the game prop erly, simply because they began badly and either have never takes the trou-' ble or do not know how- to correct their faults. George H. Brooke In Out ing Magazine. Exactly. A good English country mayor found himself at table in a large restaurant between two young men, woo began to make fun of him. u "I see, young sirs," he said, "that you are making fun of me, but I as sure yon that I am neither stupid nor an ass." "Ah," said one of them, "perhaps you are between the two." "Exactly," was the prompt reply, Tm between the two." THESE WON OUT. In All-Benton Fair -List of Prize-' Takers.

Start the pigs right and push them every day from the time they are far rowed on a well balanced ration, and , they will make a rapid and uniform growth. Most of the sows we buy are one year old and bred, says a writer in the Journal of Agriculture. We think quite an Item Is saved In this way of buying. The sows we retain In the herd are about the same age, size and of uniform type- Uniformity in a herd Is the greatest point to be considered, and its advantages are obvious. A uni form lot of piss look better, sell better and feed better and are better in every ! way than an uneven bunch. The man who gives proper care and attention to his brood sows and starts his young pigs right has solved three-fourths of, the problem of producing pork and growing pure bred swine. If It pays the breeder of pure bred hogs to pay ; close attention to all the details of the business. It should prove equally profit able to the man who is growing them for market. What You Will See.

The Gazette has been asked by the school authorities at Monmouth to give space to the following in regard to the situation at that school : "The loyal friends of the Oregon State Normal school at Monmouth have come to the rescue of the institution and have met the conditions imposed by the new board of regents. Messrs. Reseier and Perkins appeared before the executive committee in Salem last week and ten dered a check for three thousand dollars as a donation to. conduct the school dur ing the ensuing year. This is one half of the required amount and the board has allowed until the first of February for the deposit of the balance. Other revenues from tuition and local 'taxation (includ ing 7 mills special tax) will add between eight and nine thousand dollars. The budget for the year bus been reduced from nineteen to fourteen thousand dol lars by cutting down the salaries of the instructors, with their full consent, an act of devotion which shows their loyalty and devotion to the old school. "It will be lemembered that the old board of regents, at its annual meeting in June, re-elected the faculty, let con. tracts for fuel eta and otherwise provided for the continuance of the Monmouth Normal. The new board, at its meeting July 18, accepted the action of the old board and assumed full control. At a later meeting, August 20, it rescinded ito former action on the ground that the ho prohibited the assumption of any obliga tion, vetoed by the governor, could not become available until passed upon by the next legislature, . the board decided that no account couldjbe taken .of it. "This caused the board to vote not to continue the school until a sufficient sum was deposited as an absolute donation 1 which, together with the other fixed revenues, would place enough funds at its disposal to guarantee the expenses of the institution for the entire year. Now that this has been done and the donation accepted by the executive committee, Monmonth is officially authorized to con tinue and will therefore open its doors oa September 24 for its twenty sixth year. - The business-like methods of the new board, the personnel ot its member ship and the increased demand in the Btate for Normal trained teachers, all combine to make the prospects bright for the beat year in its history. Its friends are rallying about it aa never before. "Monmouth has sent out over 850 grad uates during the past t wenty-five year and thousands of others have received a paitial pieparlaiinn tor the ork of teach ing. Ten ot thirty-three cuiitv super iurehder.ts are graduates and scores of r iii'-ipals in the town and vil'agea claim ht-r as ther alum mater, while hniidre' 8 of others are grade ileactiers in the town --1 d onntr M hiH'is. With these loyal ttiijrtii and the Uiout-ands of irieids t-r the state, tl e Mull r N--iaial lroks uraard with confidence to the verdict of ibe people at the polls next June, when the question of its continuance is to be M-buiified through the initiative" The Story of a Medicine. Its name "Gi.ldan Medical Discover was suggested by one of Its most import ant and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as It ever sinse has b&en, without a particle of alcohol in its maice-up. A glanreVjtatfesjfull list of Its Ingredi ents, printed on'everv bottle-wrapper, will show that It is hjaae from the most valuable 'medicinal roc&ryfound growing in our American oresi3J ah tnese m- edlents have received the stronpestTn- orsement Irorn the leading medical -tW.Ml 19 rjir.OT.iH " 'nr yfr best remmlii'S for t diseases for whirK Golden Mei'.icarniscovei irv " is advi 13 AavlSM a'IIuiq 000k of these endorsements ci3 been compiled by Dr. R.

Take Dr. Pierce's Dis covery in time and persevere in its use until you give it a fair trial and it is not likely to disappoint. Too much must not be expected of it. It will not perform miracles. It will not enre consumption In its advanced stages. No medicine will.
