When people came to see her ahe accepted them as If sure the motive were pure kindness. But she made, no visits herself, neither accepted Invitations to Join In church affaire, nor the dances at the courthouse, where formerly she had been a leading spirit. Phil wanted her to was willing to endure martyrdom for her sake.

But she smiled and shook her head- she meant never to go out among their own people until their own people saw and acknowledged their mistake. Time went swiftly; almost before she realized it came of their wedding. The garden had been a modest gold mine, but she would not let Phil buy her anything a fluffy Thlg Theory. An expert In fish culture, who believes that flsh have memories, gave a novel exhibition to support his theory. In one of the enclosed pools at the hatchery under his charge there was.

a very large trout which always came forward to see and be seen when visitors appeared. It WM the expert's custom, after calling particular atten- tlon to that trout, to raise his cane quickly and hold It over the water. The performance would have no effect upon the trout. Then the expert would produce a with It at i nBt tly that that night at the courthouse. It was not a dance, but an entertainment by a so-called psychic lecturer.

He was said to have marvelous powers. Phil had a sort of feeling that the villagers would think he dreaded to face the seer. That was had even a wild idea of going forward If subjects for experiment were called. Second thought showed him he had better stay beside had been cordial to them, offering felicitations with no apparent reserves. He would do.

nothing to bring up the old story; in twenty years perhaps he could live It down. He heard little of the lecture, was a string of platitudes. But; he was somehow aware of a strange which got into him and made -him shiver in spite of himself. He was on the point of asking Margery If she also felt It, when he saw Jim Franklin moving toward, the rostrum, his face faintly troubled. He spoke low but earnestly to the lecturer, too low lor the audience to catch a word.

It watched with bated breath as he sat down and fell under Influence. For a minute he was silent, motionless, inert, as one in a deep and refreshing sleep. Then he stirred and sat up, opening eyes that did not see. The lecturer spoke to him. "What did you do that night?" he asked.

Franklin stood up, not uncertainly, but like a man with a purpose. He had taken off his hung neatly folded on the back of a chair. He picked it up, took a knife from his pocket and ripped a short length of the stitches that held down the trout rod Ide of i trout would turn and flee, hide at the far end of the enclosure, and. remain there BO long as the rod was in sight. This Is the explanation of the sudden change in the trout's demeanor: One day, early In the career of the fish, the expert, to try a barblesa hook he had devised, cast with one In that pool, and this trout seized it.

The hook penetrated and passed through its upper Jaw, and by the time it was released from the hook It had undergone an experience that made a lasting impression upon it. The expert discovered soon after the hooking of the trout that whenever he approached the pool with his rod the trout would instantly dash to a place of hiding, although It paid no attention to a cane or other stick held over the water. The trout lived for years in that pool and never failed to show its 'fear of a trout rod as long as It lived. What a Heap of Happiness it Would Bring to Indiana Homes. Hard to do housework with an aching back.

Brings you hours of misery at leisure or at work. If women only knew the cause Backache pains come from sick kidneys, 'Twould save much needless woe. Doan's Kidney Pills help sick kidneys, Indiana people endorse this: Mrs. William Ruhland, 910 Water street, Indiana, says: "Although I did not take Doan's Kidney as directed, they bene- fitted me and I am grateful to them. My back ached constantly and I had depressing headaches that quite unfitted me for work of any kind.

Since taking Doan's Kidney Pills, these troubles have not bothered me and my kidneys have been normal. My advice to any one afflicted "with kidney complaint is to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial."

"How long can a moth miller live without air and light?" is a question puzzling the bookworm. "I opened an old library book the other day," he said, "that had the appearance of having been closed for a century, 'and on the very first page I found a moth miller. He lay lifeless for a few minutes, but pretty soon he began to wriggle.

He sprang up, hold-, ing out both hands and saying husk- lift "I know you didn't do it, Phil, though I don't know how I know." "But we do," the hypnotist said kindly. Then for the first and only time Phil tell forward In a dead faint.

"To think I sewed down that ripped collar without ever dreaming it meant anything," Jim's mother explained when she came to understand. The mystery plain enough. Jim, worried In sleep over the big bill, had hidden It with- the cunning of sonnambulism, and forgotten all about the hiding. It might never have been found except by a rag picker but for the hypnotic experiment. Be sure, though, Jim meant what he namely, that getting back the money was nothing compared to getting back Phil, his closest friend.

ALL WOMEN LOVE PRAISE loved the meant BO much to Phil. Work; so healthily tired he slept of brooding half the night over on ais name. It bio) Lack of Appreciation and Sympathy tween Husbands and Wives Causes Many Between Woman's love of commendation Is one of her chief charms.

There is not a woman alive who is indifferent to words of praise from those she loves. The very women who stifle their hearts' cries because it is vain to listen for an answer where they have a right to expect it and go on performing their duties just the it be their the women who most hunger for the kindly appreciative word. In too many homes it is the lack of appreciation, the lack of sympathy, that builds up sickening barriers between hearts that should be near. Is this love of appreciation a crime, a weakness? If so, men are very weak, for they cannot get along at all without this sort of bolstering is, the majority of them. Read any of the precious "advice to women" and you will see how womankind is advised to be cheerful and keep her sorrows and worries hidden, how she is cautioned to be up and doing at all times, the front doorstep ready to smile as soon as the dear husband turns the corner! But what about advice to husbands along the same line? One rarely sees any printed.

One might think it is because women don't care for commendation. Yet we all know that praise from both men and women gobble up greedily and loudly cry, "More, wore."

Dentistry. In the Sunday school teacher's experience only kind of a dentist she- had ever known was a man who pulled or repaired teeth, so when the class said her father waa a dentist the teacher concluded to patronice his address and called one day with braced fer-treatment of an un- Bound tooth. She waa shown Into a small workshop, whose sides were, lined with big 1 grandfather clocks. "Dentist?" the man exclaimed. Scott, ho; I'm a clock mender, but I know how the kid came to make the mistake.

People in this trade always call the fellow who makes a specialty of tinkering with grandfather clocks a dentist. The wheels of most grandfather clocks of American manufacture are made of wood, and when the clock stops the wornout teeth have to be removed from the wheel and sound teeth put in. So I really do work with teeth and deserve the name of dentist." MB asssflssssB I Papers of value that may be secured at moderate prices in combination with the MESSENGER.

Saw No Future for Pittsburg. "Pittsburgh" of the ninth edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannlca" had quietly become "Pittsburg" in the tenth. The former, to which America has now officially reverted, is the original spelling. When General Forbes captured Fort Duquesne In 1758, he renamed it Pittsburgh in honor of the great English inspirer of victory. In 1784 Arthur Lee described the place in language which seems strange to those who know "the smoky city" of today: "Pittsburgh is inhabited almost entirely by Scots and Irish, who live in paltry log houses.

There are in the town four attorneys, two doctors and not a priest of any persuasion, nor church or chapel, so that they are likely to be damned without the benefit of clergy. The place, I believe, will never be very considerable." Dyspepsia is America's corse. Bar- Blood Bitters conquers dyspepsia, very time.
