No will has been found, and of
course, t he entire estate gees to Simon
Delford^ his nephew."
' "Yes, ourse him!" cried Edward,
angrily, "lie could tell where the

I believe the old man entrusted
the will to him, and the penurious
scamp, upon examining it, found
that the greater part hud been

Hilda, darling, do not for a moment
think that 1 love you one whit less
on this account, for Heaven knows
how dear you arc to me,'' he said
drawing her to him and imprinting a
kiss 011 the the rosy lips; ''hut it distresses
me greatly that .you will be
obliged to live in poverty, when by
right you should revel in luxury."
"I)o not distress yourself, Edward,
for I am willing to face poverty so
long as 1 have, you with me, ami you
will liud me a most economical wife,

smile.
"Bless you, darling," said Edward,
clasping her in his arms, "you are

Hilda looked up in surprise.

"I am not sure that my efforts
will result advantageously, but I can
try, at any rate." ho answered with a
smile. "I mean to resort to a little
strategy. Sit down, Hilda, and 1
will give you a few orders which i
wish you to strictly carry tout. i
cannot lot you into the secret at

the success of my plans. Now, lis

days Simon Delford and his wife are

He has engaged me. as secretary, so I
shall retain my position for present,
lie may, through common decency,
allow you to remain for some time,
but it is likely that be will soon take
measures to eject you from your old
home. Should this be the case,"
laying a purse in her hand, "I have
made provision for you. Keep it,

and drew hack, "and wh*n you recover

Three days passed, and Sunset
(1 range was under the control of now
occupants. Simon Delford and his
wife had taken indisputable possession
of the lovely home which had
been Hilda's since childhood.
Ton years before a fearful epidemic
had visited the little village
of Morion, and John Braithwriit, an
honest, industrious carpenter, and
his frail wife were prostrated by this
fell disease, and had died within two
; days of each other, leaving the poor
little orphun Hilda to the mercies
of a cold world.
No one wanted the child, and the

At lirst Simon Del ford lus only j l''tJ
living relative, in his smooth, silky j set
way, tried to induce the old man to!
allow him to take the girl to his : Sti
home, thinking that if he could get I ole
her away from Sunset (Irange Ueu-jcoi
hen would soon forget her. Hear- an
gned that, being only a child, she
needed motherly care and his wife net

h ive a little girl around. a s
Hut lleiih 11 thoroughly understood
Simons motives and declared tin
it to his face, whereupon Simon | do
Hew into a passion, denouncing his 'I
uncle as a soft hearted old fool. tin
The tjuarrel, however was of short
duration, for Simon was too far-sight- *
ed to risk losing a fortune, even if !'ll1
it was not so large ;is lie had hoped; 8ec
so he returned to his uncleand made
an abject apology, declaring that it
deeply pained him to have trouble l)e<
:iri-e heMveen his only living relative j
and himself. iov<
Ueubeii had very little faith in
Simon's repentance, as he knew him
to he :i cold, mercenary schemer, and
inwardly vowed he would get very
little of his (Deuben's) wealth Still
he allowed him to think himself fill- 'K*
ly forgiven, whereupon Simon re-j wo
turned home willing to await the I
development of events. | rat

Simon came around occasionally, ^
always making great pretensions of
affection for "1'nclo Reuben's lit- a t
tie girl," as lie called Hilda. Hut
* %
Hilda had taken a great dislike to
' 1
Simon, and made no effort to con- v
coal it. And glad was she when kr?
each of his periodical visits came to
i th(
an end.
At last old Reuben's eyesight* fail ed
him and being unable to at tend ,l('
to his business affairs he was obliged 1U
to employ a secretary in the form of
one JOdward Wieland, a handsome
young man whose poverty was his
only drawback He was not long in
Sunset (< range when he took it into tl,r
his head to fall madly in love with j ,
pretty Hilda IJraithwait, now a love-,
lygii l of eighteen. That his love' l,u
was returned we are already aware; j
and so for a year all went merry as a ; *'''
marriage bell. HU
Hut at the end of that time, and i
the day succeeding the one oil which !
. i
Simon had conic to make his monthly
visit, old Ueubcn was taken suddenly
ill. chi
Hilda was greatly distressed and tin
would have been happy to repay her co1
kind old friend by lovingcare through a j
his illness, but Simon emphatically Lu
, i declared that t ho sick room wad not s;n
the place for a young girl like her'col
and furthermore insisted that hejan
himself, by request of his uncle, was i rifi
to act as nurse. j to
Four days passed, and then Simon ! l)r<
was seen emerging from the sick j 8P<
room with a handkerchief pressed to tin
his eyes. ' "Oh,
Simon, is ho worse?" cVied tui
Hilda, grasping his arm, i tin
"My dearly beloved relative luis ?hj

lite way of letting her know that

"I have not ha 1 time to make any

One day, as Simon drove t > thevil

rse evinced signs of lameness and
was forced to leave him in a
ighboring stable. Being too p< tin
his to hire another animal, Simon
, out to walk.
It was late when he started for

a great economizer, and when the

I 'lace the tips of the lingers firmly

move the scalp, while holding the

the blood vessels underneath
and bring about belter nourishment
of the hair. A brush of unevenly

use upon the scalp, not the hair.

and a troop of t'nited States

Dal ton hoys and their gang for robbing
the Sante Do train at Wharton.,
Thy trail o the rubbers was found
by the Indian scouts, and bloodbounds
were put on the track. The
robbers tied to a cave in the hills
ami there shot the dogs as they
came up. When the deputies arrived
they opened lire and drove
them back. The marshals sent for

Wade, of Springfield,
Mo., is in town. ' Farmer" Wade
as he is called, is one of the best authorities
in the West on matters pertaining
to the interests of agriculturists.
In speaking of the progress
of tlic Farmers Alliance to-day Mr.
Wilde said:
"The Alliance, after climbing tho
hill and indulging in a good deal of .
vociferous self praise is now sliding /
down the declivity with accelerated
speed. There never was much promise
of solidity in tho plans of tho Alliance,
and the talk indulged in by
Alliancemen about carrying Nebraska
and Kansas and a few other States
in the next presidential election is
like unto the convocation of tho
truly foolish.
"So far as Missouri is concerned
there is no hope for a third party.
The Alliance in our State is a Denioratie
affair, and that is why the
State is not represented at the convention
at Cincinnati.
"I am willing to admit that the
Farmers Alliance has made a great
show and is still attracting attention.
A great many people seem to favor
its platform, but the situation is just
as it is'wub tho free coinage of silver.
Von ask t ho average man if lie
is in favor of free coinage and ho
will s.iy yes. Yon ask him why and
he savs: '!> if I know.' A
good many people ask mc if wo will
soon lmvo free coinage. 1 hope not.
The experiment will bo a dangerous
one. There may he ovil in it; there
can ho no good."

A New York newsboy was fitted
out in a complete new suit, including
cap, shoes stockings, and necktie
for $1,51. This shows how much
people must pay for manufactured
goods under tho "iniquitous protective
tariff." Cincinnati Commercial

Yes, but you Western people don't ?
know what became of that boy. Du- \
ring a rain storm the cap shrunk
so it wouldn't fit. tne head of a pin,
the papar soles of the shoes dropped
off in thi! street, tho necktie assumed
the dimensions of a niece of
thread, and as for the "complete new
suit," the seams broke loose and the
poor fellow had to hire a cab to take
him home for fear Anthony Com- (

exposure.

IOverybody knows tliut a dog's nose
is always cold, but very few people
know why. The cartilage composing
(he outer surface of a dog's nose is
almost destitute of blood vessels, but ;
plentifully supplied with glands
which exude a watery secretion that
by its evaporation, keeps the nose below
the normal temperature. The
dog's sense of smell is located in the
nerves within the nostrils, and it is
probable that these are kept in better
condition by the low temperature
of the caritlaginous tip of the nose.
The state of a dog's health is at once
indicated by his nose, for no dog
with a hot, dry nose can be healthy, ^
and one of the first signs of rabies is
dryness and heat of the nose, for
these things indicate fever, and fever
is sho beginning of hydrophobia.?
