".aIr. Phelps. I believe he said witha slight hesitation, and paused as if to allow me to announce my business.
 II stood looking like perfect fool, red in the face, speechless, abject, not daring to meet his eye. No chieken-thief, caught with chickens legs sticking out under his coat, was ever a more complete picture of conscious guilt. That was what seemed to myself, but to him suppose appear ed merely rather embarrassed at being obliged to explain that my call. was wholly of a social nature. You see he was him. self somewhat embarrassed at having re- ceived guest in so singular a manner, and this made him the less attentive to my demeanor. He thought he was the one who was in the awkward position So, on seeing that my call was not on bus. mess, he said affably:
 '' I am glad you called Will you walk into the parlor? My daughter and I are quite alone
 ''I followed him helplessly, like sheep led to the slaughter, and was ushered into a cozy room with but single occupant.
 ''The prettiest young lady that I ever saw, with the brownest eyes, the sunniest hair, most tempting hands, daintiest fig ure and dearest smile that God ever put together. sat demurely reading by the table.

In answer to alphabetical. in your last issue, for a remedy for consumption in it's first stages, can recommend Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" if taken according to directions, for it has been thoroughly tried in my family. and the results were glorious. "Alphabeti. cal, 1" must not expect one bottle to do the work my wife took three bottles before she could discover any change, but after the third bottle every dose seemed to strengthen the lungs. and now she is we'll and hearty.
