Williams stood like a man In dream for a moment after Hank bad finished speaking and then the full realization of all that his words 1m plied came to him In overwhelming force, and despite his will power bis emotions mastered him and great sobs shook his frame. . The unusual sight of a man in this condition acted like a spur on the others, and they turned hastily and started Cowards the spot where they had tied their horses. Hank swearing savagely for no apparent reason. Williams stood where they had left him until the last man bad disap peared from view over the top of the ledge. Then slowly stooping he picked up the pail, filled it from the brook and went back to Nell and the kid. (Copyright, 1905, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) T The only animate object In eight on the vast wilderness of flatness to the east was a prairie schooner drawn by a pair of lean, straggling horses which was making Its way towards the haven ahead. The weary horses, under the double Inspiration of the whip In the hands of the unkempt man on the seat and the suggestion that the trees ahead offered, Increased their tired walk to a poor Imitation of a trot, which was finally effectual in landing them at the foot of the slope while old Sol was yet quite a distance from the western horizon. As the outfit came to a standstill the other occupants of the schooner made themselves manifest. A young woman with an infant In her arms descended the rear steps, and while her husband unhitched and unharnessed the horses, Improvised a bed from a miscellaneous collection of clothes, deposited the baby thereon and proceeded to bring from the Interior of the wagon the things necessary for the preparation of the evening meal. "Nell, exclaimed the man suddenly, "we're goln to win out one of these days, see If we dont." The wife laughed happily. "I think weve won out now, Jim. Who In all the world has a boy like this?" Oh, the kids all there, you bet, but you know, Nell, you aint used to this port Of life and its goln to stop soon now, I can tell you. There, there, Jim, dont talk like that Everything's all right as lonjg as I have you and baby. Now, sir, as a punishment for being so gloomy, you can take that pall and go and look for some fresh water." lie obediently took the pall and started off In the direction of the woods, whistling a merry tune. He had not penetrated into them very far before unmistakable signs of water began to show themselves. As he proceeded the underbrush and trees began to assume a healthier look and here and there small patches of moss made their appearance, and finally there was borne to his ears that low sweet sound so dear to every plainsman's heart the trickle of a running stream. He dropped on his bands and knees by the side of the brook and sampled the water. The quality suggested springs, so he decided to walk up stream In the hope of finding one of these treasures of the plains. With this end in view he arose from his knees and had stooped over to pick up the pall when the sharp com mand Throw up your hands, Jim Will lams!" drove the blood back to his heart with a rush. However, he had been brought up in the west and knew what would immmedlately follow if was not promptly the command obeyed, bo the same moment that brought him to his feet brought his hands above his head In which position he waited stoically for further developments.

Lesson of Life That Most Impressed the Late Senator Hoar. Jn his autobiography that good old mkn. Senator Hoar, who went to his rest a few months ago, said: The iesson which f have learned in life, which is impressed on me daily, and more deeply as I grow old. Is the lesson of Good Will and Good Hope. I believe that y Is better than yesterday, and that , will be better than I believe that. In spite of so many errors and wapngs, and even crimes, my countrymen, of all classes, desire what is good and not what Is evil." These are golden words and they ought to be preserved by every man and woman who wants to keep on the bright side of life and to get the most out of the work. Pessimism is a drain on vitality.

Frank Miner, a young man living on the River road, had an exciting experience with a deer on a recent Sunday afternoon and is convinced that they are not the timid animals he has always thought they were. Miner was rowing in a skifiT when he saw a deer start to swim the river, heading toward the North Lyme shore. Miner bent to his oars, overtook the animal and running his boat up alongside reached over and seized the deer by the head. He lifted the head pf the creature upon the gunwale of the boat and was trying to decide what to do with his prize when the deer settled the question for him. Suddenly It shot one of Its forefeet up out of the water and the hoof struck him a blow on the forehead, knocking the boy backward Into the boat and compelling him to release his hold of the deer's head. When young Miner receovered himself the animal was several rods away and he hadnt any further desire to capture It. Deep - River correspondence Hartford CouranL HISTORIC RELIC OF INTEREST. I Chair Said to Have Been Used Fugitive Regicide Judges. . In the possession of the Rev. A. N, Somers 6f Sharon, Mass., Is an old chair, said to have been used by the regicide Judges, Goffe and Whaley, after their escape to America and while they were In hiding here from the kings troops. Whaley was trother-ln-laof , Oliver , Cromwell, and William Goffe was the formers and one of the strongest men In Cromwell's government. The chair was used by them while they were iS hiding In the house of the Rev. John Russell In Hadley, after leaving the hiding place In the cave In Connecticut. It formerly had rockers on it, which It is said were worn oft during the fourteen years of constant use by one or the other of the two exiles as they sat in the attic room of Mr. Russells house. Tradition says that Judge Goffe was sitting in this chair when the Indians attacked the village, and that he rose from it to take command of the citl- son-in-la- o Sure Sign That Dr. Williams Pink Pill Are Needed to Tone Up the Digestive Organs. Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors treatment serves bnt to weaken the diseased organs. The new tonic method of treating disorders of this kind does not aim to do the work of the stomach, does uot demand but builds that the food be up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L.O. Lhw, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kansas, says ; "In 1897, while we were living on a farm in this neighborhood, I became generally debilitated as the result of overwork. I bad serious indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered from a sense of suffocation and from obstruction of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for mouths without finding any relief, I tried a box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills of which I had read in a newspaper. The first few boxes made me lots better, and after using the third box I felt entirely well. - I am now in excellent health and am able not only to Lake care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I can recommend them. They are so simple, so easily taken and so prompt in their n. ao-tio- Remember Dr. William s Pink Pills do on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body.
