Do yon see that big bouse down there la the trees f I could see the place at which he pointed far back from the village street In the valley below us, the house near ly hidden by tall evergreens. , "Tes," I answered. "wtii, that's the Squire Fullerton place lie's Kale's father." "Does the saulre live there?" "Jo, sir not eggzac'ly. He's dyltf there been dyln' there for two year er more, uy gosh! It's wonderful how hard 'tis fer some folks to quit breath' in'. Say, be you any o' his family?" "No." ,"Nor no friend o' his?" '. "No!" "Course not. He never had a friend . In Ms life too mean I He's too mean to die, mister too mean fer hell an' I Wouldn't wonder honeRt, I wouldn't mebbe that's why God Is keepln' him Here jest to mcller him up a little. Buy, mister, be you In a hurry?" "No." "Say, hitch yer hosa an' come In here, I wunt to show ye suthlu'." I dismounted and hitched niy horao to the fence und followed him Into tho old churchyard, between weather- Blnlned mossy headstones and graves overgrown with wild roses. Near the far end of these thick-sown acres he stopped. "Here's where the buryin' begun," said my guide. "The first hole In the hill was dug for a Fullerton." There were many small monuments and slabs of marble some spotted with lichens and all In commemoration of depnrted Fullertons. "Sny, look a' thnt," sold my guide as he pulled nslde the stem of a leafy brier red with roses. "Jest read that, mister." My keen eyes slowly spelled out the time-worn words on a slab of stained marble: v - . I Sacred to tlie memory of . , . Kathorino Fullorlon 17SM&0S "Proclaim hli Word In every plc That they are dead who full from graco," A dark shadow fell upon tho house bt my soul and I heard a loud raping at its door which confused me until, looking out, I saw tho strange truth of the matter. Rose leaves and blossoms seemed to be trying to hide It with their benuty, but In vain. "I understand," I said. "No ye don't. Leastways I don't be lieve ye do not correct. Squire Ful lerton dug a grave here nn' had nn empty eollln put Into It away back lu 180(1. It means, that he wanted every body to nnderstan' that his girl was Jest the same as dead to him an' to God. Buy, he ltuew nil about God's wishes that man. Gosh I He has sent more folks to hell than there are In It, I guess. Say, mister, do yu kuow why he sent her there?" I shook my head. "TIs ye do, too. It's the same ol'J thing that's been sendln' women to hell ever since the world begun. Ye know hell must 'a' been the Invention of a man that's snrtln an' It was mostly fer women an' children that's snrtluer nn' ftr nil tho men that didn't agreo with him. Set down here an' I'll tell ye tho hull story. My day's work Is done." We snt down together and he went on as follows: "Did ye ever see Kate Fullerton?" "Yes." "No ye didn't, nnthcr.

Some day, 'fr re he dies, I'm goln' to' take up that headstun an' hide It, but he'll never know It's done no, sl-not 'til he gits to the judgment scat, anyway." The old man rose and straightened himself and blew out his breath and brushed his hands upon his trousers by way of stepping down iufo this world agnln out of the close and dusty loft of his memory. But I t-lled him back. "What has become of Enoch?" I asked. "Wnl, sir, Enoch started off West 'bout three year ngo nn we ain't heard a word from him since that day nary a word, mister. I suppose we will some t'mo. He grew Into a good man, but there was a kind of a queer streak in tlrti blood, as ye might say, on both sides kind o. We've wrote letters out to Wisconsin, where he was p'lntln' for, an' to places on the way, but we can't git no news 'bout him. Mebbo he was killed by the Injuns." We walked out of the graveyard to gether in silence. . I could see a glimmer of a light in the thicket of pines down the valley. I unhitched and mounted my horse. "Take the first turn to the right," ru to tne rigut, he picked up his ' snld the old man ns scythe. "I'm very much obliged to you," I said. "No ye ain't, nuther," he answered. "Leastways there ain't no reason why yo should be." My horse, Impatient ns ever to find the end of the rond, hurried me along und In a moment or two we were down under the pluo grove that surrounded the house of old Squire Fullerton a big, stone house with a graveled rond around ,lt. A great black dog came barking and growling at me from the front porch. I rode uround the house and he followed. Beyond the windows I could see the gleum of candlelight and moving figures. A man came out of the back door as I nenred It. "Who's there?" he demanded. "My name is Barton Baynes from St. Lawrence county. Kate Fullerton Is my friend und I wish to see her." "Come up to the steps, sor. Don't noise m i ve ciiamea the How vividly I remember the little mur mur of delight that came from her Hps when he held the candle so that Its llfcht fell upon my fuce I J jumped off my horse and gave the reins to the ! mun n1 put niy m,,ls around the poor j won". wnni I loved for her sorrows inm' for n,y debt to ,lor' n,l ruined iklsses upon her withered cheek.

She whispered: "Sallyr "She has been at school In Albany for a year," I said. "She Is at home low and I am going to see her." "You love Sally?" she whispered. "Better than I love my life." Again she whispered: "Get mar-led!" "We hope to In 1844. I have agreed o meet her by the big pine tree on the liver bnnk at eleven o'clock the third af June, 1844. We are looking for ward to that day." A tall, slim woman entered the room then and said that supper was ready. Kate rose with a smile and I followed her Into the dining room where two tables were spread. One had certain dishes on It and a white cover, frayed and worn. She led me to the other table which was neatly covered with snowy linen. The tall woman served a supper on deep blue china, cooked as only they could cook in old New England. Meanwhile I could hear, the voice of the aged squire a weird, empty. Inhuman voice It was, utterly cut off from his Intelligence. It came out of the troubled depths of his misery. So that house the scene of his great sin which would presently lie down with him In the dust was flood ed, a hundred times a day, by the un happy spirit of Its master. In the dead of tho night I heard Its despair ei'holng through the silent chambers. Kate said little as we ate. or as we sat together in the shabby, great room after supper, but she seemed to enjoy my taljt and I went Into the details of my personal history. The look on her face, even while I was speaking, Indicated that her thoughts wandered, restlessly, In the gloomy desert of her past. I thought of that gay, birdlike youth of hers of which the old man with the scythe had told me, and wondered. As I was thinking of this there came a cry from the aged squire so loud and doleful thnt it startled me and I turned and looked toward the open door. Kate rose and came to my side and leaned toward my ear whispering : "It is my futher. He Is always think ing of when I was a girl. He wants me." She bade me good night and left the room. Doubtless It was the out raged, departed spirit of that golden time which was haunting the old squire. A Bible lay on the table near me and I sat reading it for an hour or so. A tall clock In a corner solemnly tolled the hour of nine. In came the tall woman and asked . me In thei brogue 'of the Irish : "Would you like to go to bed?" "Yes, I am tired." She took a cHndle and led me hp a broad oaken stairway and Into a room ; 2 ViZ A VS. Vs& She Took a Candle and Led Me Up a Broad Oaken Stairway. of the most generous proportions. A tig four-post bedstead, draped In white, stood against a wall. The bed, sheeted In old linen, had quilted cov ers. Tho room was noticeably clean; Its furniture of old mahogany and Its carpet comparatively unworn. When I undressed I dreaded to put out the cuudle. For the first time In years I had a kind of child-fear of the night. But I went to bed at last and Flept rnther fitfully, waking often when the cries of the old squire came flood ing through tho walls. How I longed for the light of the morning I It came at Inst and I rose nnd dressed and went out of doors. Kate met me at the door when I went back Into the house and kissed my cheek and again I beard those fcnlf-snokcn words: "My boy."- I ate niy breakfast with her and when I was door I gave her a hug and, as she tenderly patted my cheek, a smile lighted her countenance so that It seemed to shine upon me. I have never forgotten Its serenity and sweet ness. CHAPTER XVII. I Start In a Long Way. We reached Canton at six o'clock in the evening of a beautiful summer day. I went at once to call upon the Dunkelbergs and learned from a man at work In the dooryard that they had gone away for the anramer. How keen was my disappointment I I went ta.the tarem nnd got my supper aM ) x I . 7IUX .fSB- rW F'SM HI la Ll 1 V II mm then over to Asnel-y Iillle id see Zi: chael Haeket and his family. I found the schoolmaster playing bis violin. "Now God be praised here Is Bartl" he exclaimed as he put down his Instrument and took my hands In his.' "I've heard, my boy, how bravely ye've weathered the capes an' I'm proud o' ye that I ami" I wondered what he meant for a second and then asked: "How go these days with you?" "Swift as the weaver's shuttle," he answered. "Sit you down, while I call the family. They're out In the kitchen putting the dishes away. Many hands mnke light labor." They came quickly and gathered about me a noisy, happy group. The younger children kissed me and sat on my knees and gave me the small news af the neighborhood." How good were the look of those friendly faces and the full-hearted pleasure of the whole family at my coming 1 "What a Joy for the spare roomt" exclaimed the schoolmaster. "Sure I wouldn't wonder if the old bed was dancln' on Its four legs this very min ute." "I intend to walk up to the hlHs to ulght," I said. "Up to the hills!" he exclaimed mer rily. "An' the Hackets lyln awake thlnkln' o ye on the dark road I Try It, boy, an' ye'll get a crack with the ruler and an hour after school. Yer aunt and uncle will be stronger to stand yer comln' with the night's rest upon them. Ye wouldn't be routin' them outto' bed an' they after a hard day with the hajdn'I Then, my kind hearted lad, ye must give a thought to Michael Henry. He's still alive an stronger than ever thank God I" So, although I longed for those most dear to me up In the hills, I spent the night with the Hackets and the school master and I snt nn hour together af ter the family had gone to bed. "How are the Dunkelberg's?" I asked. "Sunk In the soft embrace o' lux ury," ho answered. . "Grimshaw made him ; Grimshaw liked him. He, was always ready to lick the boots o' Grim shaw. It turned out thut Grimshaw left him an annuity of three thousand dollars, which he can enjoy as long as he observes one condition." "What is that?" "He must not let his daughter mar ry one Barton Baynes, late o' the town o Ballj'been. now. is that for spite, my boy? They say It's written down in the will." I think that he must have seen the flame of color playing on my face, for he quickly added: "Don't worry, lad. The will o' God Is greater than the will o' Grimshaw. He made you two for each other and she will be true to ye, as true as the needle to the north star." "Do you think so?" , "Sure I do. Didn't she as much as tell me that here In this room not a week ngo? She loves ye, boy, as true as God loves ye, an' she's a girl of a thousand." "Why did they go away? Was It because I was coming?" "I think It likely, my fine lad. The man heard o' it some way perhaps through yer uncle. He's crazy for the money, but he'll get over that. Leave him to me. I've a fine course o' In struction ready for my lord o' Dunkel berg." "I think I shall go and try to find her," I said. "I am to counsel ye about that," said the schoolmaster. "She's as keen as a brier the fox I She says, 'Keep away. Don't alarm him, or he'll bundle us off to Europe for two or three years.' "So there's the trail ye travel, my boy. It's the , one that keeps away. Don't let hlra think ye've anything up the sleeve o' yer mind. Ah, my lad, I know tho heart o' youth I Ye'd like to be puttin' yer arms around hei ! wouldn't ye, now? Sure, there's time enough 1 Ye're In the old treadmill o God the both o' ye I Ye're beln' weighed an' tried for the great prize. It's not pleasant, but It's better so. Go on, now, an' do yer best an' what ever comes take It like a man." A little silence followed. He broke It with these words: "Ye're done with thnt business In Cobleskill, an I'm glad. Ye didn't know ye, were beln' tried there did ye? Ye've stood It like a man. What will ye be doln' now?" "I'd like to go to Washington with the senator." He laughed heartily. "I was hopln ye'd say that," he went on. "Well, boy, I think it can be arranged. I'll see the senator as soon ns ever he comes an I believe he'll be glad to know o' yer wishes. I think he's been hopln', like, that ye would propose It. Go up to the farm and spend a happy month or two with yer iflint an' uncle. It'll do ye good. Ye've been growln' plump down there. Go an' melt It qff in the fields." .A little more talk nnd we were off to bed with our candles. Next morning I went down Into the main street of the village before leav ing for home. I wanted to see how It ! looked nnd, to be quite frank, I wanted some of the people of Canton to see how I looked, for my clothes were of the test cloth and cut In the latest : fashion. Many stopped me and shook J my hand men and women who had 1 never noticed me before, but there was ' a quality In their smiles that I dldnt ! quite enjoy. I know now that they! thought me a little too grand on the outside. What a stern-souled lot those -Yankees werel "All ain't gold that glitters." How often I had heard that version of the old motto I "Why, you look like the senator ! when he is just gittin' home from the ! capitnl," said Mr. Jenlson. - ! 2xa wore. aoi. ut. wit? to take WISH III ira-WHATITIS w was nil hw mmm ID lOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED Nothing New Simply The Old Grip, Or La Grippe, That Was Epidemic In 1889-90, Only Then It Came From Russia By Way Of France And This Time By Way Of Spain.

Cy which is regarded by many to havs been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. Beginning with 1831, this country has had five epidemics, the last iu 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic in fluenza itself has a very low perccnt ago of fatalities not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac cording to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run down condition those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS Grip or influenza, as it is now call ed, usuaLly begins with a chill follow ed by aching, icvcrishncss and some times nausea and dizziness and a gen eral foeline of weakness and dopros- ion. The temperature is from 100 to wi, and the revet usually lasts iroin throe to fivo days. The germs attack tho mucous membrano, or l:ning of the air pssages nose, throat sad bronchial tubes thore is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a soro throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe cold.. TUB TREATMENT Go to bed at tho first symptoms, not only for your own snko, bat to avoid spreading tho discaso to f thcrs 'take a fuiawvt3, cat, jftuuLjr Jiuuixsuiiig .food, remain perfoctly quiet and don't worry. Quinine, Aspcrin or Dover's Powder, etc., may bo administered by the physicians, directions t3 reliovo the aching. But thcro is no cure or spe cific for influenza tho discaso must run its course, but nature herself will throw off tho attack if only you keep up your strength. Tho chief- danger lies in tho complications which may arise. Influonza so weakens the- bodily resistance that thoro is danger of pnoumonia or bronchitis dovoloping and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For theso reasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns stay in bed at least two days or more after t'o fever has reft you, or if you aro over 50 or not strong stay in bed four days or more, according to the severity of the attack.

Naturally tho question of mill feed for dairy stock came up. For manu factoring charges tho mill men were al lowed soventy-fivo cents per bsrrel of flour and twenty-five cents profit.

Hot, wet towels should lie appLed over the throat, chest and back between tho shoulder blades to open the pores. Then Vapo-Bub shauld be rub;od in over the parte until the skin is ted, spread on thickly and covered with two thick nesses of hot flannel cloths.

These vapors, inhaled with each breath, car ry the medication directly to the parts affected. At the saime time, VapoBub ig absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur face and thus aids iu relieving the con gestion within. HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a genn disease, spread principally by human eontact, chiefly through eough ing, eneeeing or spitting. So avoid per- . sona having colds which means avoid ing crowds common drinking cups, roller towels, etd. Keep up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS . Above all, keep free from colda, as colds irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render thera much better breeding places for the gcims. Use Viek'o VapoEub at tho very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a lit tle in a spoon and inhale "the vapors, or bottor still, use VapoHub iu a ben zoin steaim kettle. If this is not avail able, use an ordinary tea kettlo. Fill half full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoHub from time to time kocp tho kettlo just slowly boil ing, and inhale the steam arising. NOTE: Vick's VapoEub is the dis covery of a North Caroliia druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Mcathol and Campho" with such essential oilg as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs. cts., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingre dients are liberated in the form of va pors. VapoEub is comparatively new in New York, New England and a few westorn statcB, where it is just now being introduced.
