This is to certify that I have
tried Hall's Great Discovery for
kidney and bladder troubles and
find it lias given me great benefit.
For two months or more 1 was
troubled with a severe pain in iuj
hips, caused from kidney trouble
which unfitted me for any kind of
physical labor. I could not lift
anything without pain and some
times It lasted me for several
days. After taking Hall's Great
Discovery I have helped to haul
and level over one hnudrcd loads
of gravel and dirt on my premi-
se* in the city of Gainesville with-
out suffering the least bit of in-
convenience, all of which I as-
cribe to the benefits derived from
the beneficial effects of Hall's
Great Discovery, and I cheerfully
reoommend it to all who are suf-
fering from similar afflictions.

"Ob, that will do," says be bitterly.
Why shoald yon trouble yonrself to
try and reconcile me to my fate? I dare
ny there are worse tbinga that might
befall a man than having to aooept a
fortuue."
"I wish," aaya ahe in a heartbroken
voioe, "that yon would try to be a little
happy about it"
"la there anything else you wish?"
aaya be, pushing off hia arm the little
friendly band ahe has placed upon it.
"Happy, after all," throwing up hia
head, with s abort laugh. "Why not?"
"Why not iud«ed*" aadly. "Thia ia
only a moment's folly on your part.
Every other day yon are as merry as th«
best of us. Tomorrow you will be your-
aelf again."
"How you have studied me? You are
right. 1 am the most frivolous, the
moat light hearted, of my sex. Some-
times, " aaya he, laughing again, "I'm
so happy that 1 wish"— Ho pauses.
"Yes?"
—"that I was dead I" says he, with
such a sudden, vehement change from
affected carelessness to honest misery
that her heart dies within her. Fear
takes possession of her.
"Oh, no! Oh, not" cries she, her
voice dying away in a sob. Instinctive-
ly she moves toward him, his arms
open. In a moment she is lying on his
breast
"Oh, don't wish yourself dead!" sobs
ahe, crying bitterly.
"I don't now," whispers lie, tighten-
ing his arms round the slender, beloved
little form.
"I ought not to bo here. I oughtn't
indeed," says she, making, however, no
effort to redeem her position. "There

"There is indeed!" says ho ruefully.
It is a cheerful ruefulness, however.
With hia world in his arnifc he can
afford to fight with outsiders. And ho
was not wrong after all. She does love
him.
"Couldn't you"— begins Miss Dene,
and then breaks off.
"Couldn't I what, darling?"
"Couldn't you break it off with her?"
whispers she into the right side of his
coat.
Hah! This was what he wanted!
""I could," says he, laughingly softly
and pressing the pretty head against his
heart with feis hand, "and I will!"
"I wouldn't say a word—not a sylla-
ble," aays Dorothy, with awful deter-
mination, "if she loved you—but she
doesn't!" This decidedly, with all the
impenetrable perspicacity of youth, that
never reasons, yet always knows!
"No?" meekly. "I confess that iden

magazines of the country than can be gotten even from the best of them.

ought to prodnro, "that yon want to
marry ber for her money, and that she
want* to marry yon for yonr title."
"Do they?" says Mr. Brooke. "Ah n
rale the mighty 'they' are always right,
bnt for once they are at fanlt. If she
wants to marry me for my title, I'm
sorry for her. Firstly, because I'm go-
ing to marry some one else, and, second-
ly, because if I did marry her the covet-
ed title wonld not be hers until her
hair was gray, the old boy being about
as strong at present as any annuitant.
And as for me, I most solemnly swear
I don't want to marry her, either for
her money or anything else."
"Ah! But you did," says she.
"Even if so you should not be the
one to reproach me," says he.
"Yes. That's true. I'm bound to
you," says she, nestling closer to him
"And," in an awed tone, "when wil
you tell her about it, George?"
She hesitates so admirably over the
pronouncing of his name that George
laughs and catching up her pretty hand
kisses the pink palm of it with rapture.
"First thing tomorrow," says he. "To
tell you the trntb, I think she has an
inkling of it. She said something about
you the other day that looked as if she-
was jealous."
"She couldn't be jealous—she doesn't
love." says Dorothy, with conviction.
"Ob," with a little, long drawn sigh,
"it is dreadful to feel jealous!"
"You needn't have felt it," says he
tenderly.
"But I did. I couldn't bear to think
she was to belong to you, while I—
Well," with a happy little sigh this
time that brings tears into her eyes,
"I'm not jealous now. I wonder what
she'll say to yon?"
"Give me good day no doubt and re-
joice over a quittance of bad rubbish.
After all, she was throwing herself
away. A girl with a conple of millions
might easily have made her own of a
better match than lam likely to prove."
"She could have made no better
match," indignantly. "Ob," starting,
"is tliat Agnes calling? Oh, come, let
us run! We have been here a dreadfully
long time."
"Till tomorrow, then," says be,
catching ber in his arms and kianng
her. "Tomorrow, I pray heaven, will
leave me free to tell all the world that
I love you."
Tomorrow, however, brings its own
plans—with the hot water at 8 which a
man brings him. a veritable bombshell
111 tufi shape of a letter, that blows all
his intentions to p'.icea.
His uncle, Lord Furnham, is dead, po
writes Lord I'lirtiham's lawyer, t.tid I j
left his nephew not only the title, which
he couldn't keep from him, bat his en-
tire fortune, £14,000 a year. At toe
last the name had been too mnrhfi.r the i
old man. He had given his all for the j
keeping np of it. He had even given up j
his revenge, though, if he had known
it, lie could hardly have made his neph-
ew more unhappy than by the bestowal
of this most unlocked for gift.
How is bo to go to Miss Morlaud now
anil demand bis liberty? With the title
and the fortune, too, in both his hands,
how is he to ask her to break off his en-
gagement? His soul sinks like lead
within bim. It was such an open ar-
rangement between them, she to give
money, he the title, that now when ho
finds himself independent of ber money
it seems impossible to ask her to let
him go free from the detested bond.
A last fight for life animates him. He
will seek an interview with Miss Mor-
land after breakfast and put the case
fairly before her. If she still elected to
adhere to their original contract, so be
it. Goodby then to life and joy and
happiuess. The honor that alone re-
mains will bo but a poor comforter.
Knowledge of Misa Morland tells bim
that she will be very likely to assert ber
rights and decido on keeping ber hold
of title and estate. He manages to ask
her for a few minutes alone with him
before leaving the breakfast room.
Something new in ber face as she an-
swers him—granting the required in-
terview—strikes bim at the moment,
but not foroibly. Of late ber moods
have been very variable.
"Now?" asks be.
"The sooner tbe better," returns she
■bortly. "Tbe library is always vacant
at this hour. Shall we go there?"
"A good place," aays he, trying to
look calm, while hia beart ia thumping
violently against bis side, as though it
would burst its bonds.
"Look here," says Misa Morland as
he cloaea the library door behind bim.
"One word is as good aa ten"—thia is
tbe usual graceful style in which the
carries on her conversation. "I know
quite well why you are here, and I may
as well have tbe first word. You are
sick of me, and I'm Lick of you. That'a
it—iant it?" #
"Really"— begins Brooke feebly. He
ia indeed so overpower* d by tbe bril-
liancy cf this attack that be finds words
difficult to him.
"The fact is,"goes on Misa Morlaud,
waving bis attempt at a rep'y aside
with a gesture of her large, firm hand,
"1 don't thmlc there ia the remotest
cbanco of tbe old gentleman dying—
Farnham, you know—and you without
tbe title aren't good enough."
"I can Quite understand ibaf" «av»
ho gravely, shocked at her coarseness.
"It is, howevir, a pity you didn't think
of that sooner. I presume it was never
me then; it was only the titla"
"Well, as far as that goee," says she,
"I presnuio it was never me either. It
was only tbe money." At this he colors
hotly. She laughs. "Does that trouble
you?" says ehe. "Well, money clings
to money, you know, and I have decided
that one in tbe baud is worth two in
the bush." This is a dark saying to
him, but time explains it "The truth is
I saw Lord Farnham in town just be-
fore I caaio down here, and he looks as
if ho would last forever—as if he would
uever get older."
"No, he will never get older," re-
peats Urooke iti a curious tone. With
the old mau lying dead, this heartless
speech of hers—this cruel longing for
his death—sounds even more detestable
than it would have were he living. He
himself bad not loved tbe old lord, but
he had never wished him dead.
"As to that, I suppose he will have
to, whether he likes it or not," says she
vindictively. "But I don't feel inclin-
ed to wait for him. And—er—as Lord
Tottenham"—
"Yes?" says he, his heart giving a
great bound.
"As Lord Tottenham asked me last
night to marry him, I decided that it
would be better to bring our engage-
ment to an end."
"I am to understand, tben, that you
are aboat to marry Lord Tottenham?"
asks be formally, subduing all exprea-

HEB PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from tbe southern
and western states predominating.
lawb.
The laws of Texas aro made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWB
Arj the most liberal, and her col
lecrion laws the most lenient to bt
fo md in any state in the Union.
Theso laws not only providi
against misfortune, but give tin
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad mitnage
ment on the part of thehusbnnd.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it ahal
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads o:
families, and also cf unmarried
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is li^'ht, our state ad valorum tas
is now 20 cents on the £300, and
our state school tax is 18 centt-
on the 8100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
LAND.
improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va
riety of crops than can lie found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
ROADS.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantia;
bridges span all streams.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city o«
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools rur
on an average of six month earl
year.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of ;
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for th
purchase of money, the taxes dm
thereon, or for work and materia
used in constructing improve
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ'
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wile given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law
"No* mortgage trnst, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, exoept for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall be void.
"See. 51. The homestead n>t in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a h|H

CK)OKE COUNTY.

equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water
Red river borders tiie county on
he north for sixty miles.

pressed brick works turning
out splendid brick, four

capital and surplus of $650,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con-
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
( sale:
j "All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus:
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and afl current
wages for personal services
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and beggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
