(Special Letter.) The name of Lady Ulrica Duncombe

J baa appeared much in print of late. Lady Ulrica ia one of the falreat wom-&a in the United Kingdom and comes of a family, proud as Lucifer, whose women have been noted for their beau­ty. • Her three sisters were social queens and all married well. One was the Duchess of Lelnster, wife of the celebrated Irish peer, who was so de­voted to her husband that when he died she shortly followed him to the grave with a broken heart. Another Is Lady Helen Vincent and the third

^ ta the wife,of Sir Richard Graham of Netherby. Beauty was an inheritance of these girls. Their ancestors were handsome, and one, their great-grand­mother. Lady Charlotte Duncombe, was one of the celebrated beauties of her day, whoso fine features have been preserved in paintings. She was a woman of exquisite personal charms and great culture. Her husband, after representing Yorkshire in Parliament, was created Earl of Fevershau. The family has great wealth as well as beauty, and naturally is saturated with orido.

All the sisters of Lady Ulrica mar­ried young, but she seemed hard to Buit. First-class suitors were -many, but Lady Ulrica resisted them all. She spent much of hef time with the Prin­cess of Wales. Some years ago a fad for missionary work among London's poor broke out in society. At that time Rev. Dr. Arthur Wlnnington-In-grara, who has recently been created

- '^bishop of London, was preaching in the slums and seeling to improve the condition of the poor. Society women became interested in him. Among those who went to his assistance was Lady Ulrica. She threw herself heart and soul into the work and went with Ingram to visit the desolate and op­pressed. With this union of sympathy for the lowly came a union of their affections. They became engaged. The girl who had resisted men of blood yielded to the missionary worker of the slums.

Her proud father flew into a rage when he heard of the match. An earl's daughter marry this churchman who demeaned himself in the eyes of the aristocracy by mingling with the poor? Absurd. Her sisters pleaded with Ul­rica. The Princess of Wales, who knew the high character of Dr. In­gram, spoke in his favor, but all in vain. The Duncombes would not give their consent to a marriage and the match was off. Then ^Ulrica gave up

LADY CHARLOTTE DUNCOMBE. her charitabe work and plunged into society. Suitors of blue blood again sought her. Various rumors of en-

^gagementa have been spread about, but the fair Ulrica has not yet ordered her trousseau.

Meanwhile Dr. Ingram kept up his work in the slums, gradually gained favor among the blue bloods and was a favorite of the Prince of Wales. Now that, as King of England, he has made him his spiritual adviser, the lowly churchman has become a great figure in social circles. His old love story is revived. The questions are being asked, 'Will the bishop propose again to Ulrica? Will she accept him?" In aU probability, it Is said, he will pro* pose and she will accept. The O'teen was said to have favored the match, because she knew that while the court­ship of Dr. Ingram was ended abrupt­ly, their love endures. The old earl can no longer be obstinate and the story will probably end as fond lova

LV stories should. The old earl will be * on hand to say, "Bless you, my chlfc

dren."

The man who has the most "help around the house," is the most aristo­cratic.

LEOISLAT VB GOSSIP.

Gov. Bliss on the dftth braved the ire of the Wayne delegation by vetoing liep. Martlndale's bill increasing the compensation of election inspectors, clerks and gate keepers in Sprlngwells. The compensation of these officials is fixed by a general law, except where there is a special charter provision, so Martindale had the salaries for Spring-TFBIIK rained to the schedule paid in

SPRING CATARRH MAKES PEOPLE WEAK AND NERVOUS

Detroit In his message the governor stated that this was carrying local legislation too far, and expresse i the opinion that as a general proposition local measures should have no stand­ing where general laws can apply. He Intimated that the passage of this act would be in the nature of a precedent for other townships to try the same thing, and pointed out that if there was any necessity for increasing the salaries of election officials it would be better to have the matter looked into and the general law amended. The governor also vetoed the bill amending the act relative to steam engines or vehicles which are operated upon the highvyays. When first introduced the measure provided that such vehicles should carry red rights and planks, and come to a full stop when passing any team. It included steam automo­biles, and even as passed these luxuries were not specifically exempted, which is the real reason for the chief execu­tive making use of his veto power.

The house pnssed the following bills on the 26th: Changing time for elect­ing members of the school board in Bay City from July to August; disor; ganizing fractional school district in the township of St Charles and at­taching same to Chesaning, Saginaw county; repealing sections 5 and 6 of the act creating the 37th judicial cir­cuit relative to the election of circuit judge, the time fixed in the act con­necting with the general law; creating voting district in the township of Rockland, Ontonagon county; appro­priation for Eastern Michigan, $6,000, to improve the water supply; appro­priation for Michigan Pioneer and His* torical society, $4,000; to prevent im­purities being mixed with black pep­per.

Speaker Carton has given up figur­ing on the date of final adjournment and now says that it will not be fixed until something is heard from the con­ference committee on the taxation bill. The latter meets on the 30th and will have all the week to agree or agree to disagree.

MRS. BERTHA KOCKLER, 177 Guinett street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:

"Peruna and Manalin have done me very great service, and I recommend them with pleasure to all who suffer with nervous catarrh of the stomach as I dm. Should such a disease ever attack me again I shall immediately take Peruna. I now feel very well and have a good appetite all the time. I

have gained in weight. I recommended Peruna to an acquaintance of ours and he is making remarkable progress. I looked so badly for a time before I began your medicine, that now when I meet some of my friends they say: 'I was very much worried about you, but now you are looking so well.' I shall always keep Peruna and Mana­lin in the house as family medicines." —Mrs. Bertha Kockler.

Miss Marie Coats, President of the Appleton Young Ladies* Club, writes-the following concerning Peruna;

Appleton, Wis. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ov

Gentle m e n— youii inumtimimiij i MI find Peruna an e x c e Uent spring and sum-in e r medicine and am glad to call the atten-t l o n of my friende to i t 3 *,t When that Ian- 3 £ guid, tired feel* 3 lng comes over ; you, and your \ food no longer | u.te**Ai>am!*m. tastes good, and amT»rmiiwiwiw»r smali annoyances irritate yon, P will make you feel like another per­son inside of a week. I have vttsft used it for three seasons and find it very reliable and efficacious.**—Marie Coats.

Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 21 Sooth 17th street, Terre Hante, Ind., writes:

"Peruna is the greatest medicine on earth. I feel well and that tired feel­ing is all gone. When I began to take your medicine I tould not smell nor hear a church bell ring. Now I ean smell and hear. When I began your treatment my head was terrible, all sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud noises. Three months ago I dragged around like a snail; now I can walk a> briskly as ever. I am going to go ana see the doctor that said I was not long for this world, and tell him that Peruna cured me."—Mrs. Al. Wetzel.

If all the tired women and all tJhe nervous women, and all the womqn that needed a tonic would read ana heed the words of these three fair ladles who have spoken right to file point, how many invalids would prevented and how many wretch lives be made happy.

Peruna restores health ia way. \

Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in thia. way restores the functions of every organ.

If It is the stomach that is oat of order, and the digestion impaired, Pe­runa quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of the stomach.

If the nerves tingle, if the brain i s tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation ot blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the di­gestive organs, Peruna reaches the spot at once by giving to these mem­branes the vitality and activity which belongs to them.

The pelvic organs are also UneA with mucous membrane which In the female sex is especially liable to de­rangements. Peruna is an absolute* specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising i t No otter remedy has ever received such un­qualified praise from such a multitude of women.

If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use Of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartm giving a full statement of your and he will be pleased to give yon valuable advice gratis.

' L M k l v f t W i t h o u t S e e t n c .Perhaps you a re au exception to the

rule, bu t If you a r e not you.have prob­ably on many occasions, jus t a l t e r look-fag at your watch, been forced to ac­knowledge to a friend who asked you t h e i r m e t h a t ym\ did net km>w what U was. Yet you undoubtedly took your timepiece out of your pocket, looked at its face and carefully replaced It In your pocket, showing a logical se­quence of thought a n d a. well .detined object, which did not. however, result" in leaving a sufficiently distinct Im­pression on your mind to satisfy your friend's curiosity as to the hour of the day. T h e motion was not an Involun­tary oue, like that of the boy who can­not too often admire hi*f i rs t chronom­eter, nor yet habitual , for few persons a re merely In the habit of taking out their watches . One does so only for a specific purpose.

Now, how may this seeming contra­diction be accounted for? Perhaps the reason is that not once in ten times does a man look at his watch to see what the actual t ime Is, but rather to learn whether he still has time to ac­complish some purpose. l i e may want to keep an appointment a t a certain time or to be sure not to miss a boat or t rain. When he takes out his watch, therefore, he instinctively looks for the hands in the position called for by that par t icular moment, and when he sees t h a t they have not yet reached that point he re turns the watch to Its resting place, withidiis mind relieved.

The ac tual position of the hands real­ly plays no par t at all in the opera­tion, and so when the t ime is asked of him he Is unable to reply. In other words, he accomplishes the paradoxical feat of Intently looking at a thing with­out really seeing it.

The young man hid a yawn behind his baud and, thinking of the live broiled lobster he had the night before helped a certain soft eyed crea ture to remove from the scene, languidly re­plied:

"Yes; I know that has frequently happened. Did you wan t to speak to me about anyth ing in par t icu lar this morning. Mr. Yamslcy?"

"Oh, no; nothing of special impor­tance," the old gentleman replied, "only I'm going to give you a chance to look back some day and regard me as your best friend. Goodby. I hope you'll have all kinds of success a t whatever you decide to go at."—Chi­cago Herald.

T r o n b l o W i t h n T e l e s c o p e . Continued obsen-ntion with the tele­

scope of the Yerkes ohservatory re­vealed the unpleasant existence of a number of cui'ious s t reaks of light run­ning horizontally. \vhns;> appearance had certainly never been noticed be­fore jiiitf—gave rise . to redoubled un­easiness. And yet everything seemed right with the glass viewed externally and t he most searching investigation could discover no cause.

At last In desperation the eyepiece end was unscrewed, and I'rot'essor Kllerman, the slimmest of the party, was bidden to crawl, as he well could do, a long hi t he tube itself, and see if he could discover augh t amiss. l i e crept along well enough, so wide is the tube, till he got beyond the center, when the telescope began to turn over with his weight, and he would have slid down on the top of t_he_glass had not t he other end been promptly seized and held fast. Then he continued his journey, and in another moment had discovered the unsuspected author of the mischief, an ovevindustrious spider and her equally hardworking progeny, who had succeeded in Idling up the entire end of the tube with a mass of cobwebs in the hope of catching what must have been wholly imaginary Hies, The webs au.l their spiders were care­fully removed, and .from ' tha t day to this ihe i;oh.-ivior of the Yerkes 40 inch glass has been all that heart could de-sii'e.—-thiod Words.

A W h i s t S tory . When Lord Thanet was imprisoned

in t he Townr of London for the O'Con­nor riot, three of his friends, the Duke of Bedford, the Duke of Laval and Captain Smith, were admit ted to play whist with him and remain till the lock up hour of 11. Carly in the sit­ting Captain Smith fell back ' in a trt of apoplexy, aud one of the par ty rose to call for help. "Stop!" cried another " W e shall be turned out if you makb a noise. Let our friend alone until 11. We can play dummy, and he'll be none the worse, for I cau read death in his face."

P a n i c s a n d Uel l^tonN C o o k s . There is one hind of business, accord­

ing to a New i o r k man prominent in it, t h a t does not enjoy easy financial conditions. It is that of publishing de­votional and religious l i tera ture . This publisher explained th is anomalous condition as follows:

"When everybody is prosperous, there is no very great demand for our publications. People a r e happy, and they do not go to church to any great extent. Preachers will tell you tha t Church a t t endance is never so good In prosperous times as it is in periods of hnancial str.iits.

"Let u p^.nie come on, however. At first our business feels it as keenly as any other line. People suddenly cease buying , every thing except wha t they are obliged to have. As t imes fail to Improve, people take more . to going to church.' Attendance increases very perceptibly. In a few weeks we can tell it in . o\ur business. There Is a grea.tly increased demand for devo­tional books of all kinds. The busi ness increases. 'and at the very height of the linaneial troubles we do the largest business. As t imes get better you can sec our t rade in this line of publications gradually drop off until, when prosperity again comes round, wo settle down to a normal business 'inite different from the boom we had been enjoying."—New York Times

Ut i l i s ing t h e W a s t e P r o d u c t . A parish lu the h igh lands had been

cut off from communicat ion wi th the neares t town owing to a severe snow­storm, relates The Scottish American. Supplies began to give out, and the minister was much perturbed in mind a s his snuffbox was qui te empty. The Sabbath came round. How was be to get through his discourse without the aid of his usual stimulantV He appeal­ed to his faithful henchman, the sex­ton. Alas, he was in a similar unsat­isfactory predicament! How was It to be remedied? Andrew shook his bend, thought long and suddenly disappear­ed. Presently he returned with some­thing resembling snufi wrapped carer fully in paper. The minister took a hearty pinch or two and then asked:

"Where did you get it." Andrew?" "Please, sir. 1 just went and sweepit

the pulpit oot." was the reply.

L i f e A l x i n r d tin A r c t i c D o a t . The days and weeks pass without our

takii'ig any account of them. We get up at l>:Mu in the ,morn ing . At 7 we feed the dogs. At S we have breakfast . and at 1- we dine. Then we work till (':MO. when we have supper, after which we simike and play cards or chess till bedtime. It is not at all «-nld. Itarely does the thermometer descend below zero. Vesierda.v the sun <honc gloriously. The ice rodecfed it v.bh a blinding glare and in brilliant colors.

The ship has withstood all the as­saults.of Ihe ice. It is splendid to see how it breaks up ice ihat is sometimes three or four feet thick. At other times, when it is even thicker, the ship is rushed against it at full s team. The shock .splits and breaks it very often for a distatiee of 4b or ."t> yards . The Duke (if Abruzzi is a lways on the bridge and loses no opportunity of pet-ting ahead. Sometimes h£<"doos not even come down to his mrals . When­ever we get the smallest opening, he orders us to go on. and we ai'e giad of it. because :hc more we advance at the present rime the less we shall have to do next year . - Leslie's Monthly.

T r a p * In F r e n o h . A frtMiuent trap in Trench for the un­

wary is the difference of meaning in similar phrases. Cor example, "faire feu" means to tire a gun, while "faire du feu" means to light a tire; "foriiber par t e r re" conveys the Idea of falling; to tlie gr(/imd from one's own height, whereas "tomber a t e r re" means to fall from any height—in other words, to tumble down aud to tumble off. In the same way "t ra i ter de fat" means to call a man a fop and " t ra i te r en roi" to t rea t him like a king. The English word "bore" may hv expressed In two ways—"un raseur" gives tbe Idea of an active bore and *\me bassi-*olre" of a passive b o r e . - Academy.

LooksWell Wears Well

This is \v!uit a man expects from Paint—this

is what his money entitles him to receive. There

are many disappointments, but.never any regrets

when the purchaser is safeguarded with tlie label

of

The Penim'ar Lead & Coior Works, Ltd,, DETROIT.

Why experiment when you can buy sure satis­

faction in Paint ? Profit by tlie experience of oth­

ers. Buy the Paint that "looks well, wears well"

—that preserves as well as beautifies—gives large

covering capacity—spreads evenly aud stays on.

FROM D E A T H S DOOR.

Hillsdale, III., April 29th.—Much in­terest has been aroused hero o v e r th* case of Wil l iam Marks, who h a s been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurably Kidney Disease.

The leading physicians of th i s plac? had pronounced his case a . hope less one, and others from Port Byron, Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had at­tended him, and in a consul tat ion de­cided that ho could not l ive.

In desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr L, F. Giles, a local druggist , as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested 'Dodd's Kidney Pil ls , a remedy which had just been introduced here.

The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks immediate ly began to improve,

t h e railroad eommit tea , only t w o or three miner a m e n d m e n t s being t a c k e d on. In i ts essent ia l feature it is a rail­road measure, a s the ent ire fight was made on the proposit ion of w h e t h e r the railroads should be assessed by the s ta t e tax commiss ioners , w h o assess a l l o ther property in the s tate , or w h e t h e r a separate board should be provided, as the bill ca l led for. Sen­ator Nichols made a g a l l a n t fight to have all property in the s ta te assessed by one board and the a r g u m e n t s he put forth were le f t u n a n s w e r e d by t h e ma­jority. But i t w a s a case of the rail­roads h a v i n g the votes and they won eas i ly a t the end.

The f o l l o w i n g bi l l s were passed by the senate on the -25th: To detach Calhoun county from the 5th judicial c ircuit and make i t the :>7th circuit; to amend the just ice court ac t for De­troit: to proh ib i t fishing in Mill lake, B loomingdale t o w n s h i p , Van l iuren county; .fish appropriat ion. 977,000; for a separate v o t i n g precinct in Rockland t o w n s h i p , Onton-igon county; relative to the i n v e s t m e n t of t h e capital of in­surance companies ; for uni form sys­t ems of account ing by county and city officers; to amend the general e lect ion law to provide separate bal lots for eon-

be up and about, completely cured. His cure Is the talk of the ne ighbor­

hood, and is considered noth ing abort of a miracle.

There appears to be no doubt that th is new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pi l l s , will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more mal ignant forms, such as Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Drop­sy, yield readily to Its remarkable in­fluence. These forms of Chronic K d -ney Disease have hitherto been consid­ered Incurable, and have baffled all medical skil l , and yet, th is n e w rem­edy has cured every s ingle case In which it has been used, in th i s ne igh­borhood. T h e doctors t h e m s e l v e s are amazed at the wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pi l l s are accompl ishing In Rock Island County.

$* sS sp v v ;•* v «* ««5;? >•< w s» *fc >tf si* v ««>•** v >;»* v VK CHAPTER X.—(Continued.1 breakfast tab^e. And Mrs. Macarthy--

Mr. Cowley's jaw dropped. His faca deceitful eld sinner that she was— would have been a study for a painter laughed till she cried sometimes over as ho razed at his uuearthy visitants, the broths and jellies wh.ch she made with ftia bands renting upon his knees, each day and which she pressed up\m

He had threatened such visitors his acceptance with a face as long as

track, and Reginald, the deserted lov­er, «ouu luiUiU tiiB iA<xy b l u j : iCU'eat.

with the tongs, it is true; but pinch­ing their noses was the thing further-est from hia thoughts at that moment.

With his heart beating almost to suffocation, he watched their move­ments. He longed to speak, but the words d!ed upon his lips, and his throat felt parched and hot.

S!ow!y they advanced towards his chair—the nun's sad eyes fixed silently on his facR—the outstretched hand of the black man pointing towards his hea r t

He bore it manfully for a moment; but nearer, still nearer, they came— the hand almost touched his shoulder:

It was too much for poor flesh and blood to bear.

He pave a sort of stifled cry—threw himself back In his chair—evaded i\w shadowy grasp, and dashed headlong from the room.

Up the dark stairs he flew, and find­ing his own door, rather by instinct than by sight, he blundered In, upset­ting two chairs, and startling Mrs. Cowley from what was apparently her first and sweetest nap.

"What Is the matter, my dear?" she said, sitting up In bed and rubbing her eyes. "Have you hurt yaurself?"

"Oh, don't talk to me!" groaned Mr. Cowley. "Not one ghost have I seen, but two; and we'll get out of this in­fernal place tomorrow!"

Rose and Catharine hearing this in their own bedroom, had a hearty lainli and then went after the two ghosU. who were putting out the candle-s down below, and making themselves in many ways extremely useful.

Before the clock struck oie , all V.\e. house was still—each inmate wrapped iu a sound and peaceful sleep, includ­ing Mr. Cowley, who had recovered a little from his fri?ht, and was trou­bled by no black man or murdered nun In his dreams.

CHAPTER XI. From that fatal evening a new l'fe

began for Mr. Cowley. He was no longer "monarch of all he surveyed," for in every darkened room, in every obscure corner of the haunted house, lurked something unseen and unhe i r l by others, but full of mysterious life and motion for him. If a mouse squeaked behind the w~iiscot, it wouli send him scurrying along the passage at the rate of ten miles an hour; if a door shut suddenly it made h'm trem­ble and turn pale; if a light shons in a window, if a board creaked unex­pectedly beneath his feet, he was apt to start, and exclaim, "Lord, bless me!" in a tone that did Mrs. Cowlev's very heart good, in one word, the worthy banker, from a snug good-tempered denizen of Mecklenburgh Square, had become transformed into that stranirest of animals, a haunted man! His sleep was no longer peaceful, for he W M pernetually d-ead'n? a ghostly visit; while Mrs Cowl y sno~pd placid!* and nrovokin^ly at his sirte. His coffee lost its relish; lfs tea its flavor, and his nithtly glass of Holland and water was taken more to screw hij conratre up to t^e sticking poi"t r n b ^ r than for an actual pleasure it e v e to him In thn peculiar and unwonted state of his mind.

He was horribly f r i^hte^d. He i company. He did hated that house "with shivering ha- \ sclitude, however tred; he told himself that if he saw an­other actual apparition there some­thing dreadful w^uid happen t^ him; ho would have a fit—an apoplectic one, very possibly—or perhaps a s f o k s of palsy, which would leave him with his face awry! Tt was a horrible thought; but he kent it rmnfully to himself. He would have suffered those plow tor­tures of agon'zed fear a hundred times over r?ther than own to the wife of his bcfnra t>^t he had errrd in select-in* st:eh a pine* for his residence. He mi»M hnvo said as much to some ercn-tlernan Mend, if o^e had ehnnced t ) como in h'a way; but his w'fp—nevpr! That was a conco<\*ion too great by f \v for the worthy E^UsVmnn to make. No. the husband, like the king, could do vr> w o « u . and hp was det°rmin»d to lt«*^M th*»t r'fWf'no t^ the last gasp In his own famTy circle!

Do you think tha t s ime Circle, mean­while, was unaware of the 3trugg't— unconscious of his fear? Not a bit of it! Mrs. Cowley, as she awoke each morning from a refreshing s'esp and saw him lying pale and uneasy upon his pillow, sml'ed grimly to herself and wondered how long he would take to como to his senses again. His daughter*, too. were rejoicing in the pangs their own mischievous arts had caused, even when they asked after "poor papa's headache" In such mel­lifluous tones each morning at the

an undertaker'3. The whole house was in league

against him, and the poor wretch knew it not. Yet he stood it out manfuUy; and there seemed some danger that be­tween his uneasiness and his obstinacy he would grow seriously ill. Besides, Christmas was fast approaching and the girls wanted to dance the New Year in and the Old Year out, at their own house in Mecklenburgh Square. What was to be done with the banker' to make him strike his coljrs, desert his ship and own himself soundly beaten?

It was Rose who formed a fresh plan, which she thought might be suc­cess ful. She proposed it that even­ing when the conspirators met, as usual in the turret chamber, to harsh new plots against the peace cf the mm-ter of the house. But at first, Mrs. Cowley had somewhat to say. *•

"I'm afraid we shall have to give it up as a bad job," she remarked, shak­ing her head doleful iy.

"Why, mamma?" asked Catharine. "Your father will never own he is

afraid, my dear; and I can see that we are killing him by inches. He is getting so thin; and, really he does not eat enough to keep a sparrow alive. If we should worry him into a fever or a consumption, I should never for­give myself." ^

"No fear of that, aunt, while his ob­stinacy lasts," replied her nephew, cheerfully. "But I wish to goodnesi he would get frightened and give us a chance of seeing a little more of this round world than we can expect to see while we are cooped up here. For my part, I feel as if I was a kind of iron mask. You ought to make me a handsome present for undergoing th s imprisonment, aunt."

"So I will, my c.^ar, if it ever comes to an end."

"There's the worst of it." "I wonder if he suspects," said Mar-

jorie. "My love, how should he?" "True! If he was a woman, now, I

should feel sure that he had discovered our secret. Being a man, I suppose there is not much fear."

"Well," said Rose, complacently, "I think I can set you all free."

"How?" "By inventing a new ghost, which I

shall patent." They all laughed. "You see he cares little for the cra­

dle now. In fact, I think we are a1! getting used to it. But if you wi.l only do as I tell you—we wi.l bring this old room into use—and take the letter and the lock of hair we found here, and scare him so he will be ready and will­ing to go out of the house the very next day.'

Rose then entered into all the de­tails of her plan, which .was pro­nounced an excellent one by every body present. In obedience to her in­structions, Catharine had a toothache and Mrs. Cowley a headache the next evening, which forbade them s l t t in ; up later than nine o'clock. Mrs. Ma-carthy and Rose also retired at that ear.y hour, to wait upon the Inval ds. and Mr. Cowley was left alone in his glory, without even a cat to bear him

not object to the He mixed himself

some more grog, smoked one or two cheroots, and finally took up a book to keep himself awake. It was a volume

i of American tales, and this was the story which, by ill-hick, he happened to select:

"While I lay one night in the first distempered visions of my illness, I heard those who watched beside me telling an eld tale of a family long since extinct in our settlement'

"An old and wealthy man bad won a fair young girl for "his bride, and broueht her from her native England to this distant country that he mlftht separate her forever from an early love—a cousin to whom her hand had once been pledged and—so said the gossips—her heart always given.

"Gold is no Ie.?s powerful in the -mother country than this; and for its sake the father of the lovely Ginerva took back his pledged word, and gave his daughter to a stern and moody man, who little knew how to value the prize he had gained.

"So fcr America he sailed and built a stately home for his pale bride, on the very place where our quiet little village now stands.

Nothing was spared that taste could dictate or lavish wealth supply. But luxury was not what the Lady Ginerva desired while love was offered to her. Swiftly as they sailed across the bright blue sea, one followed close upon their

"This, or something akin to It, was the tale I heard, and in all my fever­ish visions after that night, the Eng­lish Lady bore a conspicuous part. They tell me that I called for her in­cessantly; that 1 fanc.ed myself, now the successful lover, now the forsaken huaband; and could only be pacified by the assurance of her speedy return.

"Be this as it may, I can remember well how often I saw her standing by my bed, an airy, impalpable shape, of which I could net possibly discover a single feature; but all seemed a gl t-tering array of misty Iovelmes3. And when, in a voice that I could under­stand (though on the diuler ears of my attendants it fell like the whispers of the evening wind) she bade me seek her at the Hall, how could I disobey? I only watched my opportunity and counterfeiting sleep one hot summer afternoon saw them all leave the rooms with noiseless steps, and I knew that I was free.

"The glass door at the lower end of my apartment led into the garden. From that, the lonely road led over the hill, and to the site of the Hall was easi.y gained. I diew my dressinggown around me, thrust my feet into a pair of embroidered slippers and passed ou t

"Oh, the glad thrill that shot throu ,h my veins at the first free breath of the summer air! Oh, the delight with which my parched lips quaffed the clear water in the fountain by the ar­bor! I spilled it over me in my fever 1 h haste! I threw it over my hot face, and over my closely shorn head!.Then unfastening the Lttle wooden gate I ran swiftly, longing, but not daring, to shout aloud in my joy, till the hill road was gained.

"I climbed the hills and descended the valleys—I waded through the mor­ass, not without a sickening fear when I saw the brown and black water snakes glide lovingly in pairs around me.

"At length I stood upon the brow of the last hill and saw what I had not before discovered—that, a precipice lay at my feet, jagged and rough enough, it is true, to admit of a careful de­scent, but still a fearful thing to look at and attempt. Other way, however, there was none; and holding my breath and uttering an inward prayer to God. I began, to descend. Slowly ten feet of the bottom. I looked back at the height I had descended, and with a gay laugh grasped at a bough which grew near, and swung myself from the rock on which I stood.

"But I was prematurely excited. The shrub to which I had entrustsd my lif? and safety, though seemingly strong, was in reality decayed, and but s ight ly rooted. I felt it grinding up from the ground, and knew that in another mo­ment I should fall below. I clutched frantically with my free hand. I shrieked aloud in my frenzy and de­spair wiien I found I could not hold my precarious footing. I looked be­neath me at the rocky bed of the brook and thought hew soon I should lie upon it. stunned and motionless; it might be dead! The shrub broke in my hand—I was gone!

"But at that moment of my fall. terror gave me strength, and with a treaaendous muscular effort I th^ew my body out from the bank in a fran­tic leap for life. ^

"My presence cf mind probablv s^ved me; for in the place of falling directly below and upon the rocks, the impetus of my leap sent me far out into the stream, where a bed of soft sand re­ceived me. and the cool water, too shallow to engulf, rippled around mo in separate streams.

"How long I la5;there I cannot tell; but wfcen at last iNunclosed my eyos and looked up a t the^ealm, blue sky that seemed to bend close above me the hot san. though veiled behind a pavilion of- fleecy clouds, dazzled my eyes aaO burned my cheek.

Tw«fr-Ttilr<1ft o ' Ihe Truth. At an historic place not far from

Albany, N. Y., a certain young man who la fond of having his name appear whertver it will be seen, carefully ca r t t d his initials, which happened to be "A. f." Some mean person wrote directly tinder it, "Two-thirds of the t ruth."

All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman's nerves are overwrought.

The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occur­rences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and se­rious derangement of the female organs.

Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The causei however, yields quickly to Lydia E . P inkham's Vegetable Com­pound, which acts at once upon the organ af&'cted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms.

I had consulted different physicians, but decided to t ry your mediHne and I soon found it was giving me much relief.
