Mrs. Dumleigh had gone out shop ping. and Dumleigh was reading the evening paper and waiting tor her re turn. when the postman came with the late afternoon delivery. There was one letter, addressed to Mrs. Dumleigh in a strange masculine hand. Dumleigh weighed the letter in his palm, turned it over two or three times, scrutinized the address, and battled with his conscience over the question: “Has a man the right to open his wife’s mail?” At last he de cided that he had. Besides, he was just a little curious as to what might be in the letter. For the next ten minutes Dumleigh sat and stared at the open letter, muttering to himself. It read: “Dear Mrs. Dumleigh: Replying to your welcome note of yesterday, I hasten to say that I shall be only too glad to see you at my private office Tuesday afternoon. I think now that I have arranged everything as you de sire, especially in view of. the fact that Wednesday is your husband's birthday, as you say, and it will be best to perfect your plans not later than Tuesday. You need not send your card in this time, but simply walk straight back to my office. The door will be onen. I remain, “Very sincerely yours, “Harold Anderson.” “Hah!” exclaimed Dumleigh. “And this is the woman that I have trust ed for so long!” He bit his nails, rumpled his hair, read the letter over again, crumpled it in his fingers, and swore. '* r 'l wonder how long this has been going on,” he muttered. “I wonder why she is so anxious to see him next Tuesday. Because Wednesday is my birthday, hey? Aha, I remember now, she has been planning to have a little dinner on that day. Just to throw me off the track and keep me from sus pecting anything until the last minute. That’s it. Well, we shall see, my lady. We shall see. I wonder if she has any more letters from that—that puppy.” Then Mr. Dumleigh went to his wife’s room and ransacked her desk. His search was not fruitless, for right on top of all the letters were two other missives from Anderson. “Isn’t that nerve?” he asked himself. “Isn’t that the assurance of the most hardened criminal? No attempt at concealment. Everything left right in plain sight, so no one would think there could be anything wrong about it. Now let me see what these two precious letters have to say.” The first one was a formal note, ask ing if “Mrs. Dumleigh would be so kind as to eaU again at Mr. Anderson’s rlace of business, as he thought he should have no trouble in adjusting matters to conform to her ideas.” The second was a longer note, which went on to say: ■* “Since you were in this afternoon I have given the matter, much thought and believe that you are in the right as to the design you had in mind. Of course, it would be simply fatal to have Mr. Dumleigh find out, or oven suspect, your intentions, and I beg to assure you that so far as I am con cerned the most absolute secrecy shall be maintained. Please call as soon as you find it convenient. It might be best to drop in while Mr. Dumleigh is at his office, or on your way home from a matinee.” ‘ That’s enough.” cried Mr. Dum leigh. “Any man who can put two and ST. ANDREW’S DINNER.

WINTER SCHEDULES NOV. 24. They W|l Then Be Inausorated by the Southern Railway. The Southern Railway is making ex tensive arrangements for the forth coming winter tourist business to Flor ida and other resorts. The winter schedules of the Southern will become effective Nov. 24. when it will be ar ranged to run tram* from New York and Washington to Florida independ ently from those destined for the Southwest, via Atlanta. The New York and Florida Express, Nos. 28 and 84, wttl leave New York t 3.25 p, rn., and arrive at Savannah 406 p, m. the next day. The New Torfc and Florida Faat Mall will be ' berated in two eectlone from Wash* ‘ogton, one, No. !* going via Rich mond, and the other, No. 86. aofng directly over the Southern line to ' heriotte, where they will be united ir.d iyn through U> Jacksonville as 89 Returning there will also be * Melton operated via Richmond a c.urlet point that the Southern'# pa# 4) J, e. gt‘ Dulfti genet*l mMs*g*r two together knows what that means. I need go no further. That is, no fur ther than to my lawyers’." He flung himself Into a chair and gazed moodily at the ceiling. “If that isn't woman's perfidy for you!" he moaned. “Here I have given her the best years of my life and the most constant, unwavering trust—and this is the end. I wonder who this up-start of an Anderson is, anyway. I'U fix him. I'll teach him to eater another's home and destroy the peace and happiness of a man’s heart.” He looked again at the three letters. They were in plain, neat envelopes that gave no hint as to where they were from, beyond the local postmark. Dumleigh shook his head sadly and said: “And even now she is on her way home, thinking of her poor fool of a husband, who is so blind as not to see what has been going on under his very nose. Humph! She's going to find out that Rufus Dumleigh is no longer a lamblike person who has worshipped her with blind, implicit faith. But I’ll be shrewd about this. I'll let her go just so far, and then I’ll thunder forth my denunciations, and srie shall see what it means to bring a lion to bay.” At that instant Mrs. Dumleigh ar rived at the house and came into the hall, calling: “Where are you. Rufus?” “I'm here,” he answered, still staring at the letters, forgetting all his plans of shrewdness, So that was how Mrs. Dumleigh found him when she reached the room. “What have you there, dear? Oh, good gracious, have you found it out?” she asked, with a smile. “Found it out? Yes, woman, I have found it out,” he roared. "And you have the—the—nerve to smile at such a time as this!” “What do you mean?” “Mean?” continued Dumleigh, now” thoroughly aroused. “Mean? Why, you and what-d’-you-call-’im —this per son—this Harold—this Anderson— you have agreed on your designs, have you? And you will have no trouble in adjust ing matters, will you? And you are going to observe the most absolute se crecy, are you? Oh, yes, you are. And you think it would be fatal to have me even suspect anything about it, do you? Best to drop in while I am at my office, is it? Huh!” The last was a snort of rage. Mrs. Dumleigh was staring at him with wide eyes. She exclaimed: “Why. Rufus Dumleigty have you lost your senses?” “Lost my senses? Well, I should say not. Best to complete arrangements next Tuesday, eh? Why? Because I am lulled into unsuspectingness by that fake dinner you have been talk ing about for my birthday on Wednes day. Oh, yes, I think I have, lost my senses.” Here Mrs. Dumleigh began to laugh. She laughed until the cried. She with laughter, while poor Dumleigh sat there, the picture of open-mouthed amazement. When she had sufficiently quieted to speak, she said: “Rufe. you big goose, those letters are from Mr. Anderson, the silver smith, and refer to a chased silver smoking set I was having him make for your birthday present, and that explains the secret. Now, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Rufus Dumleigh rose to the situa tion, put on a feeble smile, took his wife in his arms and said: “Why, I was just joking you. I knew that it was something like that, but I wanted to have a little fun. That was all. But next time you get me a pres ent. please arrange for it over the telephone, if you must have communi cations with the makers. I don't like these sudden shocks.” TO MEET IN WRESTLING BOLT. Beck and Lucan Before the Savan nah Athletic Clnb. Prof. Emil Beck and Prof. Chic Lu cas will meet to-morrow night in a wrestling bout that promises to be a most interesting exhibition, and one that will attract a large number of spectators.

The wrestling will be preceded by a boxing match in which two local pugilists will take part. Extraordinary Cure A Statement Given by Thos. C. Hall of Belleview, Fla., the well known Merchant and firm of Hall Bros. This is to certify that I have been afflicted with a very severe case of stricture for the last twenty years and have suffered untold misery. I have been treated by over fifty physicians in the states of Florida and Georgia., some of them recommended to me as being the very best physicians in the South. They have used all forms of treatment, some of them even operat ed upon me and came very near kill ing me- At last they gave me up and I started for New York to have a sur gical operation performed by a spe cialist who was recommended to me by these different physicians. While in Savannah I was recommended to con sult Dr. J. Nawton Hathaway, a spe cialist of that city, before going to New York. I did so but with little faith. However, after talking with the doctor I somehow felt as If he were the man I had been looking for, as his con fidence in his ability to cure me seem ed to be sure and positive, so I placed my case into his hands for treatment, and to my surprise and delight in a very few days I commenced to get bet ter and after about two month s treat ment I was discharged thoroughly cured and have not had any trouble whatever since that time. The pleasant part of the treatment was that I was not under any surgical operation, neither was there any amount of pain caused by the treatment. This, I con sider. wonderful, and I certainly be lieve If all persons who are suffering with stricture oould avail themselves of the skill of Dr Hathaway that they would save themselves much suffering, besides a great deal of expense 1 was advised by a large number of reg ular phyelclani that Dr. Hathaway could not do anything for me. there fore. while 1 tied heard of hie reputa tion, I would not ootne to ee# him be ! reuse of their statement#.

The eruption soon disappears, the suf- 'sum ferer hopes forever ; but almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regular intervals and each time in a more aggra vated form. This poison will loiter in tlu system for years, and every atom of it most be forced outof the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. Nature's AutNote FOR WwNaiure’s Poisons, is the only cure for Toison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of your system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don’t experiment longer with salves,washes atfd soaps—they never cure. Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkeeper of the Atlanta (Ga.) Gas tight Cos., was poisoned with Poinon Oak. He teok Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally numerous lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was almost blind. For eight years the poison would break out every season. His condition was much improved after taking one bottle”of S. S. S , and a few bottles cleared nis blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how.

The Score 2-4 to O—Pennsylvnnla Worked Hard bat Could Not Get the Ball Across the Line—Four Times West Point Put the Bull Through Pennsylvania's Line tor a Touch-Down and Each Time Daly Kicked a Goal. West Point, N. Y., Nov. 20.—The Uni versity of Pennsylvania football team was defeated by West .Point Military Academy to-day, and incidentally suf fered one of the worst defeats in her football history. The score, 24 to 0, shows how West Point outplayed the Pennsylvania team; The visitors put up a stiff game, however, and were beaten simply because West Point played a superior article of football. After Pennsylvania kicked off the ball was in West Point’s possession on her own thirty-yard line. Bunker. Graves and Casad. with excellent Interference, carried the ball to Pennsylvania's 15- yard line, where Pennsylvania was given the ball for. off side play. Penn sylvania, however, was forced to kick. Again West Point, by center rushes and a pretty hurdle by Bunker, carried the ball to Pennsylvania's 10-yard line, where Casad was forcsd over for a touchdown. Daly kicked goal. Score: West Point, 6; Pennsylvania. 0. ' After the next kick-off Pennsylvania secured the ball, and by a series of trick plays and revolving circles, forced West Point back- for thirty yards, but West Point was given the ball for off side play and again worked it down the field, and pushed Bunker over for a touchdown. Daly kicked goal. Score: West Point, 12; Pennsylvania, 0. In the second half West Point kicked off to who wHS-downeflan Pennsylvania’s 35-yard line, after run ning ten yards. Pennsylvania made the first down three or four times by revolving plays and a double pass, when she was forced to kick. West Point again worked toward Pennsyl vania’s goal, and when on Pennsyl vania's 25-yard line, Farnsworth was put through the line and made a touch down. Daly kicked a goal. Score: West Point, 18: Pennsylvania, 0. On the next line-up, after an ex change of punts. Daly, on a fake kick, simply twisted, zigzagged and stole his way through the whole Pennsylvania team and ran 65 yards down for a touch-down, which, however, was not allowed on account of holding by West Point. Then began a series of the fiercest rushes seen during the day until the ball was again on Pennsyl vania’s 35-yard line, where McAndrew wag put through the line and he sprint ed for another touch-down. Daly kicked the goal. Final score: West Point. 24; Pennsylvania, 0. Umpire, Waters of Harvard; referee, Corbin of Yale. The line-up: West Point. Position.

In the second half Columbia started in fiercely to redeem herself. The navy tried their rush tactics again, but Columbia’s defense seemed stronger. CURES WEAK MEN FREE.

To THE EDlTOIl: Dear Sir'—We have had a great many letters from people of your city since “Blood Wine” was first introduced, and while wj have tried to reply direct to each inquiry, there may be some we have overlooked. If so, we wish to apologize; and when we say that our mail amounts to over a thousand letters a day, we are sure that your readers will pardon us, and accept this letter in lieu of a personal one. Many people ask us if “Blood Wine” will cure consumption. To these we will say that as far as wo have been able to learn, excepting in a few cases, where the disease was of old standing and advanced to a state where the lungs were literally decomposed before our treatment was commenced, “Blood Wine” has oured this and the allied diseases, which include coughs, colds, bronchial affection, catarrh of the head and throat, pneumonia and weakness of the lungs. It will heal the lungs and relieves the tender feelings. Many have inquired about kidney troubles—to all so affected wo can truth fully recommend “Blood Wine.” Except ing in advanced stages of Bright’s Dis ease it is almost certain to correct the wrong activity and restore normal condi tions, and we have known it to bring about ASTHMA CURE FREE!
