to account for you. and they will I
(luostlou my wife will wact to know j
and and others as well."
"Now. now." said Fran, with sudden -
gentleness, “don't be so excited, don't
take it so hard l.et them question
I'll know how to keep from exposing
you But 1 do want to belong to some j
body, and after I've been here a j
while, and you begin to like me. I’ll
tell you everything. 1 knew the Jo
sephine Derry that you deserted- she
raised me. and l know she loved you
to the end. Didn't you ever care fot
her, not even at the first, when you
got her to keep your marriage secret
until you could sneak to your father
face to face? You must have loved
her theu. And she’s the best friend
1 over had. Since she died I've wan
dered—and and 1 want a name."
The long loneliness of years found
expression in her eager voice and
pleading eyes, but he was too en
grossed with his own misfortunes to
heed her emotion. "Didn't * go back
to Springfield?" he cried out "Of
course 1 did. I made inquiries for
her: that's why l went back—to find
out w hat bad become of her. I d been
gone only three years, yes. only three
years, but, good heavens, how 1 had
suffered 1 1 w.\| so changed that no
body knew me." He paused, appalled
at the recollection. “1 have always
had a terrible capacity for suffering
l tell you. it was ray duty to go back
to find her. and I went back. I would
have acknowledged her as my wife. I
would have lived with her I'd have
done right by her. though it had killed
me. Can I say more than that ?~
"I am glad you went hack." said
Fran softly. "She never knew It. I
am so glad that you did—over, that."
"Yea. I did so back." he said, more
firmly. "But she was gene- l tell
you all this because you say she was
your best friend."
A while ago you asked me who l

GOOD
WHAT IMPROVED ROADS MEAN
Spells Prosperity and Happiness tq
Every Community Which Ha*
Forethought to See Blessings.
(By R E. GT.DS.)
Good roads are conducive to better
schools, live rural churches, pleasant
rides, good markets, social advance
ment, a closer bond of sympathy and
co-operation between the farmer and
his city cousin who works at the forge,
the iathe or the spindle. It spells
prosperity and happiness to every com
munity which has the means and
business fore-sight to see the manifold
blessings which a scientific system o'
good roads secures for its people. Mud
roads spell au enormous mud tax be
side which our tariff is like a pygmy
to an elephant.
Again, good roads annihilate dis
tances and rob farming of the dread
and drudgery of rural seclusion, this
fact being notably apparent where a
farmer is the wise and happy owner
of a high-quality, dependable and eco
nomical motor car. Mud roads bring
social life on the farm to low ebb.
empty the rural churches, make many
little red school houses but a mem
ory and populate the country with
floating tenants who care very little
for the growth and perpetuation of
the institutions which are the bulwark
of our national greatness.
Then good roans save time, save
horses and wagons automobiles and
gasoline. They enable the farmer to
market, at minimum cost, in rain or
shine, his perishable produce such as
fruits, vegetables milk, butter, eggs
and meat. Mud reads compel the
farmer to leave such produce either
go to waste or deterioration. or what
is near to either, deter him from pro
ducing any of these prcSt-bearing com
modities because he has so dependable
and convenient avenue for marketing
them.
in cases of acute illness good roads
enable the physician to bring speedy
relief to the sick a22'.tally and save
the lives of hundreds of our men. wom
en and cfc*iren. a fact which more
than trebly com pac sates any amount
of money which we may spend as a
nation, seme, county, city or :cwn.
Good reads spell humanity, relief, mer
cy. life, growth and prosperity, where
as rued roods too often spell poverty
weakness, decay, sickness, suffering
and death.
As road improvement .s of rxiior
wide interest it should be supported
by cur rational, state and county gov
ernments. This is notably true with
interstate highways for :: :s manifes:
!y -unjust to tax all the improvement
to the abniting land, to the county or
even to the state. Why should uc* our

Barren Soil.
Apropos of the ravages that time
has made iu the faces and forms of
the veterans of the Civil war, Walter
S. Morton, president general of the
Union society, said at a dinner ia
New York:
“A veteran, talking to his great
grandson, a little lad of eight or nine
years, remarked:
“ ‘Nearly a generation and a half
ago my head was grazed by a bullet
at the battle of Chickamauga.'
“The little boy looked at the
old man’s head thoughtfully and said
“ ‘There isn't much grazing there
now. is there, sir?’”
RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS
Sioux Falls, S. D—“My trouble of
skin disease started merely as a rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, fester and break. This
was just on the one side of my :'ace
but it soon scattered to the other
side. I suffered a great deal. espe. ia!
1 ly at night, on account of Us itching
and burning. I would scratch it and
of course that irritated it very murk
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores
It kept me from sleeping day or night
for a couple of months. My fare look
ed disgraceful and I was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
“A friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I would
bathe my face with hot water and a
lot of Cuticura Soap, then I would put
on the Cuticura Ointment In less
than two days' time, the soreness and
inflammation had almost eclr^iy dis
appeared, and in four weeks' time you
could not see any of the rash. Now
my face is without a spot of any kind
I also use them for my scalp and ha:r
They cured me completely " <Signed)
