winter of 1SJ0 Is celebrated by un old-fashioned
Kentucky Christmas gathering.
Among ttio quests are Daisy Lane, daugh
ter rf Dr. Holt's lawyer, and J. Burnett
Malloy, both of Cincinnati. The latter
brings letters of Introduction from Lane's
partner, Mr. Mclntyre, and Is courteously
received, but urouses tho Jealousy of Nor
man Holt by his attentions to Daisy Lnno.
Malloy separates Miss Lane, from the main
party during a fox hunt and nt tho Christ
mas ball tho baiiio evening uffects an air
of proprietorship distasteful to Daisy nnd
obnoxious to his rival, Norman Holt. Uut
til lll-fcellug Is forgotton when nt midnight
all surround Dr. Holt to drink the Christ
mas punch, which ceremony Is Interrupted
by a midnight messenger, who announces
tho dangerous Illness of Judge Mclntyre.
Investigation reveals his Ilnanclal nffnlrs
In a hopeless tnngle and the Holt fortune
dissipated. Henry nnd Norman enter
Lano's law ofllco In Cincinnati. Norman
enlists as n private. In tho Ohio Infantry.
Malloy, through political Influence, Is lieu
tenant In the same company, nnd Henry
Holt Joins tho confederate) forces. Norman
Is ordered to conduct a skirmishing party
tinder Cnptaln Wing to Hellevlew In search
of prominent rebels. Hellevlew raid falls.
Wing Is captured and Normnn Is accused of
treachery. Brnln fever saves him from
trial and takes him to tho hospital. Charges
against Norman nro disproved by Enyart.
Norman rejoins his regiment nnd aids
Bherldun In capturing Henry Holt. Nor
man Holt drugged by Malloy while orr
picket duty Is found usleep at hln post.
Court-martial convlctu Normnn, who de
mands that Malloy, whoso testimony con
victed him, shall lead tho tiring party on
the day of his death. Norman Is pardoned
by President Lincoln and mudo lieutenant
of Kentucky Infantry. Norman Is accused
by tho Lanes of betrnylnp Theodore, who
linj deserted, Into tint hands of secret
service men. Norman wins high praise
from Hherldnn for gallnnt rally of troops
and when Malloy, now major of a now regi
ment, returns to camp ho Is "cut" by Nor
man. Norman captured by confederates
while trying to savo dispatches for Thomas.
Captain Wing, to Shcrldnn, repudiates lies
uttered, ngalnst Norman by Malloy, who
deserts to confederate urmy. In tho battle
of Mission Illdgo Normnn plants union flag
on breastwork, though sovcrely wounded.
"It Is Norman In splto of nil," nnswered
the sorrowing woman, looking v;ls(fully,
pleadingly Into tbo pallid, clear-cut, .raanly
face, as sho half timidly hold forth both
hands. Good God! what humility -of suffer
ing thero Is for tho mother who turns from
the wreck of her own hopes, from the death
of all that was planned and prayed for In
her first born, and gazes upon tho full
fruition of effort anil energy In tho person
of another her boy's own friend and conu
rade. On the ono band lay her Isbmacl, a
useless life, a ruined career; on tho other
stood ho who had so faithfully striven to bo
frlend her weakling, ho whom thoy had ao
despltefully treated, now n tried leader of
men, tempered by adversity, tested through
flro nnd blood, crowned with tho honor and
acclamation of his soldier comrades, high
In .rank nnd command despite his youth,
yot not bo high that In pity and sympathy
and forgiveness ho hud stifled tho sense of
his own suffering that-day by day ho mlgh,t
r.uccor tholr dying boy. With her faco
bowed upon his hands, sho was silently
weeping when tho door from nn adjoining
room opened, and Daisy came slowly In.
Not since the wcok of Theodore's nrrcst
had ho set eyes on her. That was only u
year agonc, yet all tho girlish look lmd.flcd
from her face, leaving It pnthotlc, sorrow
ful, yet Inexpressibly sweet. It was the
face of a woman chastened by nnxlety and
suffering, ouo In whom gentleness, tender
ness and devotion had triumphed over
thought of self and made a ministering
angel to the ageing and distressed. The
mothor, had known that death would doubt
less bo tho sentence of her son should he
fall Into tho hands of the union army, und
all her thoughts had been of him and his
peril. Tho daughter- had had to carry a
double load. The knowledge that her
father's affairs were going from bad
to worse, that tho Investments prompted by
tho elder Malloy had been calamitous, and
ho had Malloy's word for It that only he
stood between that father and financial ruin.
Malloy went further still. Ho had not
scrupled to tell tho daughter her father's
good namo was Involved, as had been that
of his deceased partner, Mclntyre. All this
for months tho girl had had to hear, In tho
determination that her mother should not
hear It. All this had Malloy been whisper
ing Into her cars In furtherance of the suit
of his hopeful son. No wonder, as Knto Hay
wrote, "Daisy looked as though she were
going Into a decllue."
And then for long months sho had known
how hideously unjust was Theodore's ac
cusation against tho lover toward whom
her young heart bad leaned from tho first
tho lover whom sho had spurned nt her
brother's nnd mother's demand tho lover
whom they had all wronged, and, according
to Malloy, whom the father had actually
robbed, for trust money, loo, said ho, was

Involved In tho father's speculations. What
reward had Norman recolved at their hands
for his uovotion to her brother nnd to her?
It was but n few weeks after Theodoro's
nrrcst that sho learned tho falsity of his
accusntlons Kate Hay had seen to that
but meantime there was Norman's brief,
cold reply to her letter, tho check returned
and her slight repaid in full. "I shall never
agnln attempt to seo you. After your loiter
I doubt if 1 shall over care to." That was
the last word between them, yot It would
not havo been tho last, for she had nerved
herself to write and toll him sho knew tho
truth. Though she could not ask him to
forglvo or forget, sho wished him to know
sho dcplorod their bitter Injustice to him.
No light-minded glrf could havo brought
herself to such a sacrifice of maidenly
prldo, to' such a pitch of self-abnegation
the possibility of being misunderstood the
shameful possibility that ho might think
her begging for tho return of his lovo nnd
trust. No that sho assured herself was
gono forever insulted nnd outraged as It
had been, It was tho woman In her now
prompting her at any cost to acknowledge
her fault. It would havo been cosier to say:
"I havo sinned ngalnst thee" to any other
sould on earth. Uut sho had at last, after
TUB LITTLE HEAD SANK BACK INTO THE HOLLOW OK THE
many attempts, written hor confession, and
then camo the dread tiding of his desperate
wound nnd cupture. The Btory of his
heroism came later Kate Ray again. -But
that was nothing new. What could ho
evor bo but brave, heroic, superb? hor
knight, her soldier, her hero, hor lover,
aye, her dearly loved one, though ho should
never know It, though he should never care
to know though he would probably como
baok a general In the by nnd by and marry
"Katc-Slstcr" or pretty Lou Ward (who
was fmltten with one of Morgan's dash
ing rnklors), or Lorna Walton (who wore
tho confederate colors beneath her ex
pensive bodice nnd could not soe what so
many men saw in Kate Ray). As for Daisy
Bhe would dovoto herself to poor mother.
Sho would nurse nnd soothe and work for
her, and so, In gentlo deeds of goodness, tho
child had lived through her years of penance,
refusing to yield to the picas of tho Mal
Ioys, and the bud had become tho blossom,
sweet, sorrowing, uncomplaining, but far
more lovnblo and womnnly. And such was
sho who with faltering footBtcps nnd timid
yet rcsoluto meln, enrao slowly forward, and
Norman turned and saw her saw in an
Instant tho chnngo tbo year had wrought
and the samo old spasmodic seizure fastened
on his throat and choked his utterance. Ho
could not speak. Ho stepped toward her,
took her cold, fluttering llttlo hand (and
did not know ho was holding It till she drew
It nway), gazing tho while dumbly down
Into her pallid face, an Influlte sorrow,
sympathy nnd tenderness outpouring
from 'his big, bravo heart and overflowing
in his deep brown eyes, And, though he
could not speak, sho could and did. Sho
know sho must, nnd hnd schooled hersolf
beforehand, nnd oven In her humility nnd
In her trouble thoro was sweet womanly
dignity In her bearing; thero was confession
mingled with womnnly trust In her lovely
eyes as they looked up ono moment Into
hltf, Normnn Holt was nt least n gentlo
man and could not, she said, misunder
stand hor. Yet was It not hard to havo to
moot him so?
"I ought not to say 1 nm glad to see you
here, slncewe owe that to your being uguln
wounded. 'Wo can never thank you enough,
Mr. Holt."
"It Is Colonel Holt, now, Daisy," sntd
her father, coming fonvurd.
"It Is Just Normnn, Theodore's friend,"
Bald he. finding volco at last, and striving
to speak as though ho would give her hope
and reassurance, but she saw how little
hope thero was behind thfr conventional
mask. There aro men who can rldo Into
battle laughing In the faco of death, yet
cannot so much ns summon a smile when
tho King of Terrors sits by tho bedside of
another for whom women watch and pray.
Ho knpw that thero need ho no fear of
earthly trlbuual for tho fast-falling son nnd
brother. Perhaps It was better so.
Threo days more only three were given
to hlra In which to minister to Tbeodoro, to
strive to comfort and strengthen the sor
rowing mother, to be of aid to tho girl for
whom nit the old love seemed to bo revived,
redoubled. Of that It was no ttmo to speak.
Ono afternoon there came a dispatch. Tho
'colonel commanding tho th Kentucky env
i airy desired to know how soon tho lleuten
.ant colonel could report for duty. There
I was urgent need of his services. Showing
'It to Enyart, Norman briefly said: "I sturt
tonight," and Dob could only press his
hand and say: "You're right."
Uut It was another matter to break It to
tho Lanes. He dreaded the effect on Thoo
dore, so rapidly was ho falling. It was
Kate Hay again who camo to Norman's aid.
Sho had heard and lost no time. "You are
going without their knowing It, Is not that
your plan, Norman?" sho asked, then
quickly added, "Uut do you not wish to
speak with Daisy?"
"Of what could I speak to her at such a
time?" ho wistfully asked. Tho man In him
shrank from thought of wooing when nil her
thoughts must be of her dying brother. The
woman In Kato Ray saw that then, perhaps
more than at any other time, thero would
bo sweetness, strength and support In tho
assurance that Daisy was loved nnd for.
given. Again was it Kato Itay who took I
matters Into her own hands. Norman might
slip away with only a few words to thu
family generally, but as to Daisy, that was
another mattor.
And so, Just nfter nightfall, as with sor
rowing faco and moistened eyes ho "Came
to tell her he had Just bidden Thcodoro
farewell and that Theodore had smllod and
borno it bravely, Kato led him along tho
gallery of tho big, old-fashioned southern
house, past Mrs. Enyart's door to tho rail
ing at tho corner. "Walt here one moment,
will you?" said aho and then disappeared.
It was a still December ovcnlng. Tho stars
were sparkling In a cloudless sky. Out to
tho southwest, as ho faced tho valley, Old
Lookout loomed like a big bluck blnou
against tho lower heavens. Campflrcs flick
ered and twinkled everywhere nt tho front
and along tho dim, shadowy ranges to the
right and left, nut distance softened nil
earthly Bound and a silence ns of 'somo Now
England wintry landscapo fell like a mantle
upon tho freezing earth. On the floor below
ho could hear Dob Enyart thumping about
his imrrow room and know Just how eager
and restless that young soldier must bo, but
of other sounds close nt hand thoro wore
fow. Tho gallery on which he stood en
circled tho house on two Rides, at least, and
Theodore's room waB nt the northward end
of tho east front, well at his back. Kato
had ontcrcd Mrs. Enyart's room nnd every
llttlo moment Norman expected her return.
Bho had asked him to take a small packet
with him, but when she reappeared her
hands were empty, hrr face was blank.
"It Isn't at least 1 can't find eomothlng
I want. Would you mind waiting whllo I
run down stnlrs?" sho asked, "I shan't be
long." And wondering that their cool,
lovcl-hcadod Kato should appear so per
turbed, Normnn waited. Ho had left Daisy
with her mother, had spoken briefly, gently
with them both, striving still to appear
hopoful of seeing them all again when
wten Thsodore was able to move. Ha would
write. Ho would never forget them, Mrs.
Lane only wept. Daisy's llttlo hand lay
long In his, but their eyes hardly met as he
bowed In farewell. lie had dreaded that
parting, yot how be longed to live It over,
at least with her! And then, nH Kate still
failed to find tho something she wanted on
tho lower floor (perhaps Bob Enyart was
helping her now, mulled Norman to him
self) ho turned, began slowly pacing along
the southern gallery, and becamo gradually
nware of a slender, shadowy, girlish form
leunlng ngnlnst tho pillar nt the further
end, apparently gazing out nt tho dark and
muddy s'troe t. Another Instant and he knew
It was Daisy Daisy cnvoloped In a shawl
that muffled her head and shoulders, olso
must she havo heard his step beforo she
did, which wn not until he strode within

and saw him, turned ngaln, strove .to floe,
but In that instant, even in that dim light

Joy of his kisses raining warm, passionate,
pleading upon her rumpled hair, upon her

A sage hss said, "The story's told when
tho woman's won," so what excuse for
further pago, save to bring tho reader once
more to Bcllevlew nnd to nnother Christ
masJust after tho war. Only a pathetic
reminder of tho loved and hospitable home
stead of the old days was Ucllovlew now.
Dut alreudy hope was rekindling even In
the sad eyes of the aging squire. Ono of
his boy, hlB firstborn, he might not see
again, for to tho last, through bnttlo nfter
battle had Henry followed the fortunes of
tho cause he had so gallantly served, win
ning soldier honors everywhere, but when
tho last plank floated out from under tho
sinking craft, proudly refused to return
to the stato so divided ngalnst Itself. It

four of his comrades, and for tho time, nt

this course thero was perhaps nnother
reason, long anticipated In Koto Hay's final
acceptance of General Bob Enynrt's hand
and heart and fortune. "Tho best thing, by
long odds, tho war did for mo," he fre
quently declared, though Its close found

Intention of being up again In time to
"drink down nil comers to tho wedding."
It was a quint llttlo wedding that, the
month that fallowed tho muster out In the
fall of '05. Norman was full colonel by
tbut timo nnd wenrlng the brevet title of
general, but tho world was to be faced over
again. Mnlloy, sr., n fugitive from Justice,
wboBo treachery had wrecked tho llfo and
honor of good old Mclntyre, well-nigh beg
gared tho Holts and deeply Involved tho
LaneB, had been brought up short In his ca
reer by tho sudden nppenranco of Lane and
Norman In Cincinnati shortly ufter Theo
doro's death. Ho might hoodwink Lane,
but ho couldn't bully Holt, and now that
alio had nn nrm to lean on, Daisy had told
her lover of Malloy's whisperings, to the
end that tho whilom boss nnd manipulator
had been mndo to dlHgorgo not a llttlo of
hlB plunder beforo tho clutch was off his
throat.
Kor a few weeks Norman had wavered.
Tl army would have to bo reorganized and
increased. Ho was assured of a captaincy
In tho cavulry, but looking nt tho desola
tion about tho old homestead and In the
dear old fnthcr's face, ho mude his choice.
Enough had been recovered to repair and
refurnish tho mansion, but tho old glories
of the hunt nnd tho stables would never
come again. The darkles wero "freo nlg
gcra" now and dln't know what on earth
to do with themselves, Norman waB busy
himself looking after Bollovlcw and the
squire, with Daisy Installed as mistress of
tho household, and yet over In readiness to
tnko Hcnry'8 plnce In tho firm of Lane &
Holt, should tho elder docldo agalnat re
turning. When It waB heard In the fall of
1863 that Lornn Walton and her mother
were gono abroad It was whispered that he,
nt least, would not havo to take to tho law,
provided ho could forgot his long lovo and
console himself with tho lady who "couldn't
boo what so many men Boomed to seo In
MIsh Ray."
But once more the great hickory logs
blazed In tho broad fireplaces. Harklcss,
and Hannibal, ton of Harklcss, wore there
with a host of the Hamo old hrood of
aunties, uncles nnd pickaninnies, only too
glad to seo a resumption of holiday Joys,
hopeful of "Christmas gifts," and, while
proud of their freedom, only too eager, ,is
a rule, to admit their dependence and cntlro
willingness to bo fed, clothed nnd comforted
by somebody else. L'nc' Pomp and his fid
dloro had wandered away; nor were there
dancers galore ux In the old days, nor crops,
nor spurs and hunting cupa, nor foxes,
masks and brushcr, Theso were gone with
successive occupants -"trophies," north and
south. The glamor of the past was lifted
from the walls of Bcllevlew, but new blood
Tho breaking down of so many school children, especially
girls, has caused some persons to condemn tho prosont system
of study in tho schools as overtaxing tho pupils' brains.
Those who have gone deeper into tho matter, and by reason
of professional ability aro more compent to judge, assert
that these breakdowns are due not to the overtaxing of tho
brain but the overtaxing of tho stomach. Children are
allowed nnd even encouraged to gorge themselves tin tho
most indigestible " foods." Tho lunch they carry to school
is usually a pieco of pie or eako or some cookies, which is
often topped off with candy. Not infrequently tho child
studies at night after a hearty meal, with a box of candy in
her lap from which sho steadily feeds while sho cons her
lesson. When the mother wants to show her child favor sho
buys her candy. When tho visiting ftiend wants tho littlo
girl to have a good time his good will is expressed in candy.
The result of this harsh treatment of tho stomach and diges
tivo and nutritivo systems is that tho child grows palo and her
flesh becomes flabby. She is restless, nervous, has headaches,
and talks in her sleep, Poor child," says tho fond parent,
"She is studying too hard. Her brain is overtaxed." Uut
tho real trouble is not with tho brain but the overtaxed
stomach. If tho brain suffers it is because tho blood is
deficient in the nutritivo olemonts that feed it. If tho nerves
are unstrung it is becauso they too arc not being nourished.
The body and all its organs aro sustained by nutrition
derived from food changed into blood and in this form con
voyed to tho various organs of the body. When the stomach
and other organs of digestion and nutrition aro diseased,
they only extract a part of the nutrition from food nnd ho
brain nnd body aliko grow weak from semi-starvation; and
when tbo stomach is nsked to digest indigestible things which
aro forced upon it, when out of pastry and candy it is re
quired to mako nutrition, it is a request to mako bricks with
out straw and can only result in physical collapse.

most delicate and has been vory successfully used with
iufanta and children in oases of indigestion, and its compli

strongest man, for tho greater includes tho less.
" Golden Medical Discovery " is especially adapted to tho
uso of children and young people, becauso it contains no
alcohol and is entirely freo from opium, cocaino and nil
other narcotics.
J'1 vUben th,nknr of writing to you for some time," pays
Mrs. W. D. Benson, of Maxton, Robeson Co., N. C, "to let you
know what a wonderful filing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
did for my little boy. He was taken with indigestion nnd was under
the doctor's treatment for five long years. We spent all wc made
for doctor's bills and it did uo good. When lie would take a spell
of Indigestion lie would lie for ten or fifteen days, and it seemed
as though he would die. He had these spells every two or three
weeks. He could not eat anything, ouly a little milk and cracker,
and sometimes even this would make hlra sick. He could not eat
any meat or vegetables nnd he got very weak ; could not sit tip all
day, aud I gave up all hope of his ever getting nny better. I found
one of your books and I noticed Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery recommended for indigestion; we bought some and gave it to
our boy. He had been treated at Hood's Creek by a good doctor, nnd
at Bennettsyille, S. C, aud at Currie, and Lumbertou and Maxtoii, and
was only relieved for a short time. We gave him two bottles of Dr.
Pierce a Golden Medical Discovery and it cured him. He is as well
as can be and can eat anything that he wants nnd it does not hurt
him. He has not been sick a day since, nnd it has been three years
since he took your medicine."
"My four-year-old daughter had suffered from indigestion and
bowel trouble from birth," writes Mrs. Lizzie Atcn, of llaldmount,
Lackwanna Co., Pa. '.'The treatment given her by home doctors
afforded but temporary relief. Last February she was taken with
severe pain in the bowels followed by violent vomiting. She experi
enced difficulty in passing urine, which, when cool, deposited a
milky sediment. I became alarmed from her symptoms and wrote
to the World's Dispetifary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. V.,
receiving in reply a letter advising the use of Dr. Pierce'a Golden
Medical Discovery, together with a epecinl medicine which they
sent, called 'Demulcent and Diuretic Infusion.' This line of treat
