TO FRIBNDS OF THE DEMOCRAT. When yon have a legal notioe, such as notioe of appointment as executor or admittiatratror, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notioe of ditch or highway petition, or an| other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be snre to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Demoort, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Demoorat is fighting yonr battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is yonr dnty to assist it, at least when it ooets yon nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much lees for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” ont to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown ns in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to nrge yon to be sure to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County-Democrat.

By CHARLES STILLER.

Keeler stepped aside to let her pass, and the girl favored him with a smile as she acknowledged bis courtesy. He went on up the stairs with a feeling of warmth about his heart Somehow the smile of the girl across the ball always affected him that way. He had often wished that he might venture to speak, but there was something about her that held him back. For almost a year now they bad been fellow tenants of the old rookery that masqueraded is a studio building. His name, neatly printed, adorned his door, bat there was not a sign of an announcement on her own, from which he Inferred that she worked for some concern and merely used the office as a workshop. He .bent over his drafting board all the morning, though the face of the girl somehow would get mixed up with the side elevation of the building he

DESPERATION LENT HIM STRENGTH.

was planning, and he was glad when the tiny clock struck 12 and he had an excuse for stopping for lunch. He had not yet made his fame as an architect, and lunch was an elementary meal—a couple of sandwiches brought down from home and a cake of maple sugar that he had picked up somewhere. He chipped off a comer of the cake with bis eraser. On the broken half a yellowish glint caught his eye, and he further dissected his portion. It was a ring, a slender band of gold, with “T. H. to A. G., 1904,” engraved inside. Plainly some girl’s engagement ring this. Perhaps some Utile country girl was bewailing her toss even yet He caught up the box, with its gaudy labeL It bore the address, and that evening he posted a letter addressed to Thomas Gillespie, Wycoma. Vt, in which he explained the discovery of the ring and announced his willingness to return it on a proper description.

With his own little romance of the girl across the hall, Vance Keeler felt Interested in all romances, and as he slipped the letter Into the box he sent after It a wish for good lock. But sometimes blessings, like curses, come home to roost He was beginning to fear that there would be no answer to his letter, that perhaps the label was but an evasion of the pure food law, when there came a knock at his door, and in answer to his “Enter” there appeared the girl farm across the hall, blushing rosily. ‘‘l believe that you are Mr. Vance Keeler, ’’ she began as Vance sprang to his feet and dusted off the company chair. “You have the advantage of me,” he suggested, “since I do not know your name.” “I am Agnes Gillespie,” she explained. “My father wrote me to see you about a letter you sent him.” “And yon were working right across the hall all the time?” be cried. “Bather a roundabout way, isn’t it? I suppose you can describe It” “It was a plain gold band.” she said. “The Initials were»T. H. and A. O. and the date 1804.” “The Initials are right,” he agreed, "bat the date Is wrpng. It’s 1904.” “That la because the ring has been worn so long,” she explained, the red suffusing her face. “The Bls partly erased.” The blush convinced him, and his heart sank as he drew out the ring. Perhaps she was bashful about admitting her engagement, but It was 1904. He could swear to that. Her face broke Into smiles as be drew It from his pocket and passed it to her. “I never thought that I should see it again,” she ran on. “It dropped off my hand last year while T waa helping with the sugaring. I never realized that It might be in the sugar until it had all been shipped.” She slipped the ring on her finger, and Vance noticed that it was a perfect fit He breathed silent vengeance on “T. EL" as be,held the door open for her, but took satisfaction in the thought that he at least knew her name. - After that when they met on the ttalrs they exchanged greetings, and several times she had to run into boi*

row a rubber or some material, and once she had shown him her studios where she worked over designs for a wholesale house. She was always frankly friendly, and he respected the rights of “T. H.” But to keep from loving was quite another thing. Even before be had known her he had fallen In love, and acquaintance had only strengthened the feeling. More than once he thought of moving Taway out of temptation, but before be decided the fateful moment came. He was working with his door ajar, and, chancing to look up, he saw a puff of black smoke blow In. He sprang to bis feet and rushed Into the ball The stairway was crackling merrily, and two floors below the flames had full possession. Theirs was a rear building, built in the yard of the higher structure. It would be a hard Are to fight and all chance of escape by stairway or fire escape was hopeless. He ran to Agnes’ door and burst In when there was no answer to bis knocking. He knew that she was In, for he had seen her pass. One glance showed that he was right in his fear. She was stupefied by the smoke, and he had to drag her ont There was a scuttle to the roof, and from there an emergency ladder led to the top of the next building, a climb of twenty feet Desperation lent him strength, and somehow he got her through the scuttle and was Just lifting her over the edge of the adjoining roof when the flames burst through the roof he had just quit. In the jostling she had received the smoke had been forced out and the air forced Into her lungs, and as he laid her upon the roof she opened her eyes. “What is the matter?” she cried. “I—l remember now. I saw the smoke in nay room, and I fainted. You came for me?” “Sure,” he smiled. “It wouldn’t be neighborly to leave you behind, would it?” “Behind? There?” Her glance wandered to the pillar of flame that rose through the ever widening opening, and she shuddered convulsively. “It was splendid!” she cried, with glowing eyes. “You must have had a terrible time. How did you do it?” “To tell the truth,” he laughed, “I don’t know. I just remember that I climbed up, and that’s all." Hei* bands were clasping each other nervously, ajid she looked down at the ring. “Do you know,” she began and then caught herself, with a blush. “Wha£ Is It?” he asked curiously. She shook her head. “I was thinking of an old tradition of thdTing.” “It’s too new to have traditions,” he protested. She took it off and held it toward him. “That is 1804,” she insisted. “It was my great-grandmother’s. Thomas Hall rescued her from drowning. She "'gave it to her eldest daughter when she was”— "Rescued?” demanded Vance. He scented the tradition. “IJow was your mother rescued?” “A runaway,” she answered, with averted bead. “And there is no T. H. in your case??” he demanded. “You are not engaged?” "No,” she said wonderingly. “Whatever gavjs you that idea?” "You blushed so when I said that the date was 1904. And to think that all this time I have said nothing on account of T. H., who was married a hundred years ago. Do you think that you could learn to—well, to bow to the role of the ring?” “I think I could,” she said softly. “No, I don’t think. I know. I have liked yon for a long time, and it’B not because I am superstitious that I am saying ‘Yes.’” ■ It was a quarter of an hour later that a blue shirted fireman toiling over the roofs with a hose discovered them. “Are you the people that were in the top floor?” he demanded. “We are,” agreed Vance. “Well, please go down and tell the ehlef it’s all right,” he said. “They’re getting ready to dig you out.” “I should say It was all right,” laughed Vance. “I’ll tell the chief with pleasure.”

Why George Blushed.

A business man has a daughter and also a confidential clerk, and the confidential clerk has for some time, been attentive to the daughter, but he has not—or had not a month ago—sufficient courage to come to the point, though the young woman, goodness knows, has never done anything to scare him off, for he is a first class fellow In every respect. The other evening he was making a call, and about 9 o’clock her father came in. “Ah, George,” he said, “how about that deal we were talking abont this afternoon? Did yon see the party?” "Yes, sir,” relied George, “and I expected to see you this evening and tell you about it” “My dear,” said the father, turning to his daughter, “will you retire for a few minutes? George wants to speak business for awhile.” The daughter rose up, but hesitated. "Why do I have to go?” she asked doubtfully. "Because, dear,” smiled the father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay?” She blushed and fidgeted. , i “Because, papa,” she twittered, “I’d rather like to hear George talk business just once.” „ Then George got red, and the fatb« looked at them both significantly, and the girl fled.—St Louis Post-Dispatch.

I Want DIFFICULT Eye Cases. All I Ask is That YOU Investigate at My Expense My Which Has Cured So Many Cases After Others Have Failed. DONT GO BLIND-VISION IS TOO PRECIOUS. 1 want to meet with, or hear from every man, woman or child afflicted with diteaaea of the eye. I don’t care who the person is or what their eye trouble may be'; 1 will be able to convince them ABSOLUTELY FREE tqat my painless treatment will do more for them than any other method known to the profession. By this 1 do not mean there are not some isolated cases that cannot be cured, but I do mean to say emphatically that many and many difficult cakes which #have been termed incurable by others have |been permanently cured by my Absorption treatment. One of the things that lam proud of is iu the uninterrupted successful career covering- many yeai*. I have eliminated the necessity of using the dangerous and painful knife on the delicate eye, and there is hardly a day passes but what I make cures where others have advised that only an operation would bring relief. My success has not been brought about by a cure to day and,a failure tomorrow, but it has been a uniform success. Take for instance my treatment for Cataract, which is one of the most dreadful and most obstinate troubles to deal with, other oculists tell you It can only be treated successfully by means of a dangerous operation. To-day my treatment is prononnoed the only SURE knifeless treatment known. And why? Because the cures have been so uniform. Had I only cured a few cases now and then, It would be said, “You might be oured by Dr. Madison’s treatment,” but it Is the uniformity of cures in the most difficult oases that causes people to say, “You can positively be cured by the Madison Absorption Method.” Take for Instance, these few testimonials taken at random: Mrs. F > L. Win ter mute, 121 Second amkrica'S M astir OCULIST. St., Jackson, Mich., under date of (copybightbd) October 18, 1906, writes: “After there was no cure for my cataracts except u means of your knifeless home treatment. I Rave regained my vision in six months.’' Mr. C. W. Johnson, of Grand Detour, lit., in a recent tetter said, in part: “1 deem it a pleasure “•well as a duty to mankind, to certify to the benefit. reielvSd from your hSme I personally devote ray entire time and study to ths Eye, aod J assure ray patients, prospective patients my personal attention, even to the smallest details.
