CHAPTER XXI. THERE was meat for gossip a-plenty In Canaan that afternoon and evening. There were - rumors that ran from kitchen to parlor, and rumors that ran from parlor to kitchen; speculations that detained housewives In talk across frpnt gates, wonderlngs that held cooks In converse over shadeless back fences In spite of the heat and canards that brought Main street clerks running to toe shop doors to stare up and down the sidewalks. "Out of the confusion of report the Judicious were able by evenfall to extract a fair history of this (lay of revolution. There remained no doubt that Joe Louden was In attendance at the deathbed of Eskew Arp, and somehow it came to be known that Colonel Flitcroft, Squire Buckalew and Peter Bradbury had shaken hands with Joe and declared themselves his friends. There were those, particularly among toe relatives of the hoary trio, who expressed the oplulon that the colonel and his comrades were too old to be responsible and a commission ought to ait on them. Nevertheless some echoes of Eskew’s last “argument” to the conclave had sounded in the town and were not wholly without effect. Everywhere there was a uippiug curiosity to learn how Judge I’ike had ‘Taken” the strange performance of his daughter, and the eager were much disappointed when It was truthfully reported that he had done and said very little. He had pierely discharges! both Sain Warden and Sam’s wife from his - aervioe, the mild manner of the dismissal almost unnerving Mr. Warden, although he was fully prepared for bird shot, gnd the (ouplc had found Immediate employment la the service of Ariel Tabor. Those who humanly felt the Judge’s behavior to be a trifle flat and uusensatlonal were recompensed late in the afternoon when It became known that Eugene Bantry had resigned his position on the Tocsin. His reason for Fevering his connection was dumfoundlng. He had written a formal letter to toe Judge and repeated the gist of It to his associates in the office and ae- £ «juaintances upon the street He deI' dared that he no longer sympathized p With the attitude of the Tocsin toward bis stepbrother and regretted that be hod previously assisted in emphasizing the paper's hostility to Joe, particularly In the matter of the approaching murder trial. This being the case, be felt that bis effectiveness in the

service of the paper had ceased, and he must In Justice to the owner resign. ; “Well, I’m cursed!”*was the simple e mmient of the elder Louden when his stepson sought him out at the factory , ml repeated this statement to him. “So am I, I think,” said Eugene wan ly. “Goodby. I’m going now to seo mother,’ but I’ll be gone before you collie home.” “Gone where?” “Just away. I don’t know where,” Eugene answered from the door. “I couldn't live here any longer. I” “You’ve been drinking,” said Mr. Louden, inspired. "You’d better not let Mamie Pike see you.” Eugene laughed desolately. “I don’t mean to. I shall write to her. Goodby,” he said and was gone before Mr. Louden could restore enough order out of the chaos In his mind to stop him. Thus Mrs. Louden's long wait at the window was tragically rewarded, and she became} an unhappy actor In Canaan’s drama of that day. Other ladles attended at other windows or near their front doors throughout the afternoon—the families of the three patriarchs awaiting their return as the time drew on with something akin to frenzy. Mrs. Flitcroft, a lady of temper, whose rheumatism confined her to a chair, had her grandson wheel her out upon the porch, and as the dusk fell and she finally saw her husband coming at a laggard pace, leaning upon his cane, his chin sunk on his breast, she frankly toldf Norbert that although she had lived with that man fifty-seven years she would never be able to understand him. She repeated this with genuine symptoms of hysteria when she discovered that the colonel had not come straight from the Tabor house, but had stopped two hours at Peter Bradbury’s to “talk It over.” One Item of bis recital, white sufficiently startling to his wife, had a remarkable effect upon his grandson. This was the Information that Ariel Tabor's fortune no longer existed. “What’s that?” cried Norbert, start* ing to his feet. “What are you talking about?” “It's true,” said the colonel deliberately. “She told me so herself. Eskew had dropped off Into a sort of dozemore like a stupor perhdps—and we all went Into Roger’s old studio, except Louden and the doctor, and while we were there talkin’ one of Pike’s clerks came with a basket full of tin boxes and packages of papers and talked to Miss Tabor at the door and went away. Then old Peter blundered out and asked her point blank what it was, and she said it was her estate—almost everything she had, except the house. Buckalew, tryln’ to make a Joke, said he’d be willin’ to swap his house and lot for the basket, and she laughed and told him she thought he’d be sorry; that all there was, to speak of, was a pile of distillery stock’’— “What?” repeated Norbert Incredulously.

“Yes. It was toe truth,” said the coiouel solemnly. * “I saw It myself. Blocks and blocks of stock in that distillery trust that went up higher ’n a kite lust year. Roger had put all of Jonas’ good money”— * “Not into that!” shouted Norbert, uncontrollably excited. “Yes, he did. I tell you,l saw it!” “I tell you he didn’t. He owned Granger gas, worth more today than It ever was! Pike was Roger’s attorney In fact and bought It for him before the old man died. The check went through my hands. You don’t think I'd forget as big a check as that, do you, even if it was more than a year ago? Or how it was signed and who made out to? It was Martin Pike that got caught with distillery stock. He speculated once too often!” “No, you’re wrong,” persisted the colonel. “I tell you I saw it myself.” . “Then you’re blind,” returned ’ hts grandson disrespectfully; “you’re blind or else—or else”— He paused, open mouthed, a look of wonder struggling its way to expression upon him, gradually conquering every knobby outpost of his countenance. He struck his fat hands together. “Where’s Joe Louden?” he asked sharply. “I want to see him. Did you leave him at Miss Tabor’s?”

“He’s goin' to sit up with Eskew. What do you want of him?” “I should say you better ask that!” Mrs, Flitcroft began shrilly. “It’s enough, I guess, for one of this family to go runnin’ after him and shakin’ hands with him and heaven knows what not! Norbert Flitcroft!” But Norbert Jumped from the porch, ruthlessly crossed his grandmother’s geranium bed and, making off at as sharp a pace as his architecture permitted, within ten minutes Opened Ariel’s gate. Sam Warden came forward to meet him. “Don’t ring’ please, suh,” said Sam. “Dey sot me out heah to tell Inquirin’ frlen’s dat po’ ole Mist’ Arp mighty low.” , “I want to see Mr. Louden,” returned Norbert. “I want to see him immediately.” “I don’ reckon he kin come out ylt,” Sam said Id a low tone. “But I kin go in an’ ast ’im.”

He stepped softly within, leaving Norbert waiting, and went to toe door of the sickroom. The door was open, the room brightly lighted, as E*i*w had commanded when, a little earlier, he awoke. Joe and Ariel were alone with him, leaning toward him with such white anxiety that the colored man needed no warning to make him remain silent in the hallway. The veteran w*a speaking, and his voice was very weak, seeming to come from a great distance. “It’s mighty funny, but I feel like I used to when I was a little boy. I reckon I’m kind of scared—after all. Alrie Tabor—ire you—here?" “Yes, Mr. Arp.” “I thought—so—but I—l don’t see very well—lately. I—wanted—to- know—to know”— “Yea—to know?” She knelt close beside him. “It’s kind of—foolish,” he whispered. “I Just—wanted to know if you was still here. It—don’t seem so lonesome now that I know.” She put her arm lightly about him, and he smiled and was silent for a time; then he struggled to rise upon his elbow, and they lifted him a little. “It’s hard to breathe,” gasped the old man. “I’m pretty near—the big road. Joe Louden”— “Yes?” “You’d have been—willing—willing to change places with me—Just now—when Alrie”— Joe laid his hand on his, and Eskew smiled again. “I thought so! And Joe”“Yes?” “You always—always had the—the best of that Joke between us. Do you

“It's hard to breathe ,"gasped the old man.

—you suppose they charge admission—up there?” His eyes were lifted., “Do you suppose you’ve got to—to show your good deeds to git in?” The answering whisper was almost as faint as the old man’s. “No,” panted Eskew, “nobody knows. But I hope—l do hope—they’ll have some,free seats. It’s a—mighty poor show—we’ll —all have—if they—don’t.” He sighed peacefully, his head grew heavier on Joe’s arm, and the young man set his hand gently upon the unseeing eyes. Ariel did not rise from she knelt, but looked up at him when, a little later, he lifted his hand. “Yes,” said Joe, “you can cry now.” fro BK COKTINUXD.I

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.

Readily Yield to Soothing, Healing Treatment of tlyomei. Bronchial troubles are purely local. They cannot be helped by stomach dosing. They are caused by irritation in the air passages and can be relieved and cured by medicated air alone. In this lies the seoret of the great success of Hy-o-mei in the treatment of bronchial troubles. » The Hy-o-mei medication, laden with nature’s remedies, is breathed through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, reaching every pari of the bronchial tabes and killing at onoe the disease germs. It allays all irritation and heals the inflammation oi the mucous membrane with astonishing rapidity. Treatment with sprays, douches and atomizers in bronchial troubles is condemned by the best physicians, as they oause farther irritation. The first breath of Hy-o-mei’s medicated air seems to soothe the inflammation, stop the cough, and thus relief soon becomes permanent and a cure results. Hy-o -mei has made many remarkable oures in the worst and most chronic forms of. broachial troubles and is sold by B. F. Fendig with the same guarantee as he gives when Hy-o-mei is purchased for catarrh, that is, to refund the money in oase the remedy does not give satisfaction. The complete outfit oosts bat SI.OO, /*

Schu-mann-Helnk In' Two Concert*—‘Optional Choral Contest and Many Other Events on the Program. Music lovers who turn to the outdoors in the summer for enjoyment along the line in which they are especially Interested, will probably turn to Winona Lake in greater number during the coming season, for the reason that music Is to he one of the chief features of the Winona Assembly program. In other years the assembly has given a great deal of its attention to programs by pretentious concert bands, but during the coming summer the features In a musical way are largely for discriminating music lovers who care for high quality as‘ well as quantity. The assembly program goes in for band music to some extent, but the season will be made up largely of affairs along more ambitious lines.

The assembly program begins on June 30th, and'during the first week there are to be dally programs by the Rogers band, which has been appearing at Winona Lake for several years. The first week, too, will be marked by two concerts by the Ernest Gamble party, which is noted for Its musical recitals. One member of this company is Miss Verna Page, an Indiana violinist, who formerly lived at Montpelier. Since she left the public schools of that place she has had an extensive musical training. Another member of the company Is Sam Lamberson, one of a number of gifted pianist* who will be heard at Winona Lake.

Roberts Park Choral Society of Indianapolis is to give three concerts during the second week, which will Include several choruses, numbers by a quartette, and several soloists will appear. This singing society includes one hundred voices, and for ten years has been a force in the ipußical development of Indianapolis.

Owens, a well-known trainer of singing societies, are also in the faculty. Charles Hansen, organist at the Second Presbyterian church, Indianapolis, is to give a recital at Winona Lake an July 11. In a musical way he is one of the wonders of the time. Although deprived of his eyesight, it is doubtful if he as an organist has a superior in the West. On July 15 the Indianapolis Newsboys band of fifty members will open a season at Winona Lake that is to continue through a week. This juvenile band has been heard in many places in Indiana and has always been received with marked favor. It has been at work on its Winona programs for several months. The Theodore Thomas orchestra of Chicago begins its seAnd engagement at Winona Lake on July 22, and it will be heard in twelve concerts during that week. The programs are being made up by Frederick W. Stock, who succeeded Theodore Thomas as director of the orchestra, and each program will be in keeping with the summer season. The orchestra was heard At Winona Lake last year by many thousand music lovers from many states of the middle Weet. Mrs. Thos. Wballon will be the soloist during Thomas orchestra week. She ranks aa Indiana’s moat talented contralto, and has been soloist at the Second Presbyterian church, Indianapolis, for nine years. She is a member of toe Indianapolis Matinee Musicale, has appeared a number of times with the Mannerchor soolety and the German House orchestra of her home city. The Dunbar Quartette, made up of lingers and bell-ringers, will give two concerts on July 29. The company includes an instrumental trio, and it uses a peal of more than one hundred English bells. The Winona national choral oontest will attract a large number of singing societies to the Lake, the total number of singers probably reaching 700 or *OO. The contest begins on Aug. 1 and continues through two days. The prize awards amount to a total of $1,200, and the fconteats will be for men’s and women’s choruses, quartettes, duets and soloists.
