(Copyright. )19, by Aisc Arthur Brant was conscious of an undercurrent of hostility in the sod cabin of the Pentons. The mental at mosphere was as crisp as the breath less cold of the February night-a cold which clutched the Dakota prairies in iron fingers. Brant was a shy young man where women were concerned, and though he felt acutely that for some reason Hilda Penton, her parents and her 4 ten-year-old brother had turned against I him, he could not bring himself to ask I why, or to worm the reason out of a them by indirection. They had moved onto the quarter | section adjoining his own fine farm a 1 few weeks before. He had not learned | to know them well, though he had | formed the habit of dropping in on f them during the evening. But now he I was unwelcome. Jim Penton, usually I affable and garrulous, smoked tonight a in grave silence. He kept his gaze on v the cracked stove, which was glowing red with its efforts to beat back the lv searching cold. t Mrs. Penton knitted without looking C up, and little Jim, who usually hung I adoringly about Brant's knees, was If huddled in a corner, though he peered I stealthily at his friend as often as he t dared. As for Hilda herself, beyond the Inerest monosyllabic replies to Brant's I efforts to make conversation, she was i ominously quiet. The constraint grew as she washed the supper dishes and I tidied the three tiny rooms of the cabin. When her work was completed and she sat down opposite him, her blue eyes were sparkling, and her voice re minded Brant of the crackle of frosty snow under foot. "I understand, Mr. Brant, that you were down at the county seat Friday looking up the title of our quarter sec- I tion." "Yes," replied Brant; "that's one reason I came over. The land's been 'advertised for unpaid taxes.' It's to be sold Tuesday." "And you're going to buy it in?" The contemptuous tone cut like a lash. "No," replied Brant, simply. "Well, we can't redeem it. We had barely enough to get it. And that mis erable Sim Brockway cheated us. He r i.I -Z I//1 "It Was a Bad Day Even for an Enemy to Be Out." said the title was all right. Now we're to have another sample of Dakota friendship!" -Anger swept away Brant's shyness. H le rose. "You mean I'd try to got -your property on tax-title?" -"We were told that's how you came I by your last two quarter sections." -"Whoever told you that lied," said Brant, quietly. "The owners hadn't paid taxes, I'll admit. But I gave fair value for every acre, just the same." -He knew who told the falsehood Peter Snyder, fat-faced, shifty-eyed Pete, who had elected himself first friend to shiftless Jim Penton and pretty, blue-eyed Hilda. And Peter was notorious as a tax-title shark, lHe -was getting rich by taking advantage of the land-poor. Brant opened his mouth to denounce Peter-and closed it again without speaking. He couldn't fight the wily scoundlreg with such weapons. The bald truth would easily convince them of Peter's crookedness; but tale-be~ar r ig was out of his line. "Our hundi'ed and sixty would comn -plete your section," drawled old Jim; "I doh't wonder you want it." Brant turned on, him. "I don't want your land," he said. "But if you don't raise a hundred and forty dollars by t Tuesday some one'll got it; that's He strode out and closed the door behind him. Perhaps his musings would have been less bitter had he known that Hilda had cried silently for an hour after going to bed-and her tears were not altogether for the corn eing loss of the farm. Tuesday dawned cloudy, cold; a stotm was in store. As Hilda looked out on the broad plain of undulating white, treeless 'and stark, sudden hot uarter Section 'HILLIPS clated Literary Press.) resentment welled up within her. For there, muffled to his eyes In a fur coa; behind a swiftly jogging horse, was Arthur Brant. He was headed for the aounty seat, 22 miles away. She had nourished a secret hope that Peter Snyder lied; that Brant wvould not seize their land. But Peter, whon she distrusted despite his plaus. ble tongue, had told the truth. Brant %ared more for their land than for heir-for her-regard. Her lips trem. >led pitifully as she turned from the Vindow. The storm came apace. There was a vind that flew with tjhe speed of a bul ot. It tore the snow into needle-like itoms and hurled the stinging parti les resistlessly before it. Great drifts' ormed. The little window disappeared oehind a thick film of frost. Outside t was impossible to see a length head. A genuine Dakota blizzard ras hammering the great northwest.' A score of times during the day an nconfessed anxiety drew the girl to he window. There, melting a hole a the frost with her breath, she iieered nto the storm. It was a bad day even or an enemy to be out. She found erself late in the afternoon praying hat Brant would stay in Carl till the torm abated. He had a hired man to lo the chores! being unmarried, they Lept "bach hall" together. He did Lot need to hurry back. And yet Another fruitless look at the blank Yhite wall of flying snow. At eight o'clock there came a muf. led knock. Hilda hurried to the door, Lnd threw it open, to recoil in amaze nent, for the mild, patient head of a lorse projected into the cabin. It Nas Brant's horse. With an exclamation she waded :hrough the snow to the cutter. There was a huddled, fur-clad heap in the bottomof the vehicle. As her cry brought the others out bareheaded into the storm, a shape, letached itself from the rushing white' gloom-Frank Oleson, Brant's hired man. The Swede had been searching, afoot, for his master. "He bane freezing!" he cried, and fell upon Brant like a bear, cuffing, shaking and worrying him back from the verge of the dreaded sleep which has no waking. Brant roused reluctantly and looked about him, at the faithful Oleson, at the Pentons, scarcely less concerned, at the cabin beyond, warm and light and cozy. His face changed as at an unpleasant memory. "Take me home, Frank," he said, in a tone that brooked no disobe dience. And for the second time within a week Hilda Penton cried herself to sleep. The last vestige of hope was gone. He had bid in their land. That is why he would not trespass on their hospitality. It was 'three (lays before little Jim could go to the p~ostofflce, two miles. away. H-e came back with a' letter-' an official looking article from the county seat, and a budget of news that kept him jumping up and down in excitement. The envelope was'addressed to her father, but Hlilda tore it open, caught the sense at a glance, andl dropped weakly into a chair. "Mother-father!" she gasped; "it's all right. We won't lose our farm. Mr. Brant has loaned us the money." Mr. and Mrs. Ponton, graying heads bent together, laboriously -gathered that James Penton, by his agent, Ar thur Brant, had paidI the sum of $142.79. being the full amount due for back taxes and penalties on the southeast one-quarter of section-, Oh, it was all there, to the last letter and figure of the description! Meanwhile, little Jim, by the cx. podient of whooping' at regular in tervals, at last attracted the family's attention. "Listen to me, listen to me!" he yelled. "Lemme tell you about the fight over to Carlin Tuesday, 1Bi1l Samuelson, ho saw it." "Hey?" said his father, raising his eyes at last from the magic paper. "A fight--who?" "Arthur Brand and Peter Snyder,'' chattered little Jim. "That mean old Pete was there to get our land, and he bad a cheek all made out. But Mr. Brant came in and said he was your agent, pa, an' had the money ready. An' Pete called him a liar, and Mr. Brant told him he was s tax-title shark, so Pete struck at him. "And then they fought and knocked over .chairs, an' the clerk climbed up onto the desk, and Mr. Brant blacked Pete's eyes and bloodied his none. An' Little Jim stopped, the breath squeezed out of his body. For his eiSa ter, her eyes shining like twin stars, was hugging him to her breast and; laughing and crying at the samel time. "Jim," she said, "you go and tell Arthur to come over here. I--we-we want to thank him, and beg his par, don," "'Tain't ne'ssary," replied Jim. wriggling free.

For years I was almost a wreck and was a great. sufferer. The doe. tors who treated me made me believe that my great sufferings were due to female trouble. I was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was caled in and he said thtt I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took sev eral bottles. I obtained some relief from this but I was getting weaker all the time; I could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this timo two friends sent me word to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, which I did, and I ami glad to state that the first dose gave me reat relief After taking the third dose X was helped into bed and slept half of the night. I took several bottles of Swamp-Root and -I feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doe tors said that I could not live three months; my urine was in a terrible con dition-thick and slimy-and I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times every night. After taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for two days I was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly. MRS. D. E. MLFMAN. Tunnelton, West Va.

Upon hearing a particularly funny story by the host the poet fell off his chair in a paroxysm of mirth. Irish thought the poct had a seizure of some kind and he rushed to the sideboard, took a bottle of whisky and stuck he top of it into Miller's mouth, hoping to revive him. Presently Miller waved his hands feebly and Irish removed the bottle. "What is it?" asked Irish solicitous ly. "Remove the cork!" whispered the poet, hoarsely, "Remove the cork!"
