"It seemed that nothing short i
of u miracle could save my little
daughter from an untimely
death," says City Marshall A.
H. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan.
"When two years old she was

trouble rtnd despite the efforts I
of the best physicians we could j
procure, she grew gradually j
worse and was pronounced incurable.
A friend advised
Mues' Nervine j
and after giving it a few days |
she began to improve and final- j
ly fully recovered. She is now j
past five years of age and the
very picture of health."

Dr. M.lec Medical Co.. Elkhart, Ind.
cipitated himself full length in
the stream."* In the water, where
old John Thompson reigned
supreme, what might not happen
to him ? Willi chattering leelh
and trembling limbs ho managed
to crawl,to the bank, then, with
out pausing to look behind him,
started for home at the top of his I
speed.
"D<ies yo feel grace a swellin'
in yo buzzoiri, Sistah?'' inquired
Brother Brice as they slowly ap
y proached the bridge
Mrs. Bostwick did net reply,
speech having for the timedesertw.
ed her, as they went on in silence.
* They stood for a moment on
the bridge casting apprehensive
glances down the stream, which
shone beneath them like a silver
ribbon, with dark shadows in
places, and groups of sleeps
water-lilies whose leaves glistened
in the moonlight.
"Is vo feared. Sistah ?" wishpered
Brother Brice faintly. "1
ain't gwine tuh make yo do nothin'
agin yo will. El yo po shrink,
in' haht is failin' yo and yo'se
bent and bound on tuhnin1 honre.
I'se gwine wid yo tub fake keer
ob yo. 1 ain't gwine tuh leave
yo to yosefT nohow."
But Mrs. Bostwick shook her:
head. She did not intend to be
reproached hereafter for putting
her hand to the plough and louk^
ing back.
"P?n, Sistah, have con'imence.
Have con'imence on me and de
Lawd, we'se gwine tuh pull yo
#thro. Come close tuh de side obi
de bridge, Sistah."
Approaching the low ...iliug.
th?*v looked o\'".r The tor v
not far below, and to their excited j
imagination seemed to quiver i
strangely.

and boldly, but ending with a,
laiot quaver.
Very softly on the night air
cnme the sound ol music. Too
petrified to move, they remained;
t
leaning Jar over tho railing, look
ing and listening. The mush
grew louder ; then scne dislano
below the bridge but, quite dis
tinct and plainly visible appearei
the figure of a man, moving slow
ly and playing on f'>n instrument
The tongue ol the Rev. Kin
nard, becoming parched am! dry

he tried in vain to speak. 11
grew giddy and clutched bis corn

pulled himself up by it, then
suddenly and violently pushini
it from him, turned and lied uj
the road. A splashing sound a
ot something falling in the water
pursued him, and had lie pause*
to look back lie would h ive kcoi
that the bridge stood alone anc
unoccupied in the moonlight
Hut he did not pause.
"Lawd ha' mercy," groanei
Mrs. Bostwick as she struck tin
water.
To her intense surprise she wu
not iininediiitely seized anddrawi
down by the avenging ghost o
.John Thompson, nor did she hea:
the voice ot Brother Brice quell
ing the evil spirit. Instead
swiftly Hying footsteps were dis
tinctly audible, growing rnpidh
fainter. Mrs. Boslwick strugglec
to her feet and looked up tlx
road.
"Humph !'' she ejaculated.
The discomfort ol her presen
condition and the difficulty o
getting on dry land seemed U
overcome her fear, so she lookei
boldly down the stream. Tlx
spirit had disappeared, but ?'
dusky figure could be so<r
scrambling wildly up the haul
and vanishing in the bushes
There was a light triangular patel
on the seat of the dark trouseri
which looked strangely familial
to Mrs. Bostw'ick.
Wading wearily along, tin
water up to her shoulders ant
occasionally filling her oars, sin
encountered a hard object float
ing towards her. It proved to In
an accordion.
" 'Pears like Pse saw dis afore,'
she muttered.
Two dripping figures met or
the threshold of the Host wick
homestead.
"Dannel," said one, "huccutr
yo tuh git so wet, ?"
"Well, liaehael," replied tin
other, ujes' ez. I was a-comin' tul

names of the candidates for the

Thus it is that every votei
