the man the other day. "I was run- i

course that bluff of honesty didn't go
with me. I sent for his father and
after telling him what, had happened
I let the boy go. He left the neighborhood
pretty soon after that and
entered upon a life of straight-out
crime, winding up Friday, June 16th,
in the electric chair. He had his left
arm off, you know, and I understand
that happened when he fell off a

THE UNEXPECTED.
The joy of life is the unexpected.
We want some accidental, unpredictable
felicity to disturb the even tenor
of our way. The maiden has her
cherished vision of a Prince Charming
who shall suddenly arrive from somewhere?and
the thrill and the fearful
fascination are that she does not know
when he is to come, or whence Love,
like lightning, is to strike without a
possibility of forecast.
The young man goes to a city, or
visits a far country, lured by the like- |
lihood of an adventure. He joins the
navy, on the promise that he is to
see the world, in which things are different
from what he finds about him
in South Carolina every morning. He
enlists in the marines, because the
j u:.i ^
marines are summuneu uuuci <mu

But among the stay-at-homes, the
shut-ins, the folk who may not stray
afield from sober routine, the unexpected
happens and is forever gratefully
received.
We made a tentative plan for the
day. We could not tell what an
agreeable surprise the generous heart
and the kind act of a dear friend
would impart into it. erhaps it
was a letter. Perhaps it was a visit
of solace. Perhaps it was a poem read,
or a book lent, or a favorite dessert
sent in. or a bunch of flowers bestowed
.
Whatever it was. it gave us a new
outlook, and we said thanks not merely
for a gift, but for the friendship of
I which the gift was the welcome sym|
bol. It brought us a heartening evidence
that we did not live and labor
in solitude, unregarded. There were
j some?or there was one?who thought
of us when we knew it not. I
If you expect to be asked for a
party or a journey, and then are not
invited, it may be disappointing?es?
pecially in tender youth. But if
there is disappointment when our
hope is denied or deferred, there is
likewise a rare satisfaction in being
asked, when we did not expect to
be asked, to a delightful occasion.
The pleasure is the greater because
we had not guessed that it was coming.
The unexpected is not always fun.
Sometimes it is a tragedy, that sweeps
away in one fell moment what we had
labored through the years to build.
In the event of such disaster, it is for
us to prove that life is greater than
any of its "changes and chances," anc
we are to be captains of our souls
even through the dark days we could
not forecast.

KEEP YOUNG.
People with bad backs and weakkidneys
are apt to feel old at sixty.
Many old folks say Doan's Kidney Pills
help them keep young. Here's a Lexington
case:
Mrs. C. S. Rauch, W. Main St.,
says: "I was complaining with my
back and kidneys and the trouble
came on from heavy work and a cold.
Mornings I felt dreadfully tired and
| my DacK was sore ana suil. jsiiarp
pairs caught me across my kidneys.
My head felt light and I became so
dizzy I wasn't even able to get out of
bed. I was run down and my housework
became burdensome. My kidneys
did not act as they should and
when I read about Doan's Kidnej
Pills I bought some at the Harmor
Drug Store. Doan's rid me of the
trouble and I haven't had a spell witlmy
kidneys in some time now."
