"No. My home is in the Sunny
South; but, when boy, used to be
a frequent visitor to this neighbor-
hood. Perhaps / ought to introduce
myself. ! am Philip Warrington, of
B. and nephew of DR.. Gray"
Dr. Gray was her Aunt Curtis ply
stefan, and resided on the next farm
but 1t was the name of her companion
that now attracted Alice's attention..
She had become familiar with it from
Charlie S letters, and she said, impul-
siyely:
You have just returned from Eu-
rope? Then you are my Cousin
Charlie Suttons friend, of whom he so
Often wrote?'
1t seemed pleasant mutual discov-
cry; and the two were no longer
strangers.
Aunt Curtis was delighted to see
"Phil.' He had grown 50 wonderful
ly, she said-quite a big boy.
And she related many remembered
bold boyish adventures of his, in the
old time, that seemed 50 long past to
him, SO short to her. Finally she in
sisted that, as he had had a long walk,
he should "stay to SUPPER and he,
apparently nothing 10th, accepted the
invitation.
There is no place on earth Except
ing perhaps on shipboard) where two
young persons thrown together are 50
apt to fall mutually in love as in a
quiet house in the country. Certainly,
in this instance, the being thrown
together was not entirely accidental,
since Mr.. Philip Warrington, in his
interest in the old lady, every day found
something to bring him to Copley.
Now it was to bring her a new pa
per, or a message from the doctor
then to read to her some very interest
ing extracts from new book; and
then again to offer larks or cartridges,
forgetful of the cruelty of shooting
them.
And in the soft, rich and dreamy
October evenings, he and Alice, stroll
ing in the d-fasilioned garden, or
down the lane, rich in autumnal flow
ers, or seated on the meadow stile, be-
meath the golden marles, spent such

but once in life-time-with the first
dream Of dawning love.
And so it came to pass that Mrs.
Sutton, anxiously waiting at home, and
still taxing her ingenuity for excuses
to keep her niece - out Of the way"
suddenly heard something which sent
her flying up to Copley Farm by the
next days train, in a mood of mind by
no means enviable.
And the first person she saw, on
reaching Copley, was Alice, standing
on the old-fashioned "stoop," cano-
pied by autumn roses, with a remark
ably handsome and elegantly looking
young man by her side, the attitude
and expression Of both revealing at a
single glance what Mrs. Sutton felt to
be a death-blow to all her scheming
and hopes. She had aimed well but.
Is is the case with even the most
clever schemers, had strained too hard,
and overshot the mark. .

OYERSHO0TING THE MARK.
BY SUSAN ARCHER WEISS.

81 really don't see what is to be
done" said Mrs. Sutton, US she medi-
tatively folded letter stamped with a
foreign p"st-mark.
The letter was from Charlie, who
was spending his last college vacation
in Europe, and who now wrote to an
MED by his friend, Mr. Philip War
nngton.
Charlie Sutton WAS evidently very
proud TO call Mr.. Warrington his
friend, He had met him in the course
of his travels, and always wrote of him
as splendid fellow, clever, hand
some aud with view to the special
consideration of his mother and sister
--" rich and OF one of the first fami-
dies of i -"
And now. in accordance with his
mothers instructions, he had invited
his friend 10 spend a week with them,
before going on to his more Southern
home, and she must expect them in a
few DAYS.
There was one drawback to Mrs.
Sutton's satisfaction in this arrange
ment; and il WAS to this that her re-
marks, on closing the letter. referred.
This Will he a capital chance for

Last Sunday night Mr.. E. Hartwig, depu-
ty sheriff Of Dodge coanty, was severely
handled by couple of men who approach
ed him when near his home in the 9Th
ward. One of them came up from behind,
and the other met him, and both dealt Mr.
Fl. severe blows on the head with the evil
dent intent of knocking him senseless and
then robbng him. But Mr.. Hartwig was
too much on the alert for them, and plac-
ing pair of brass knuckles on his hands
be fought his assailants so stubbornly that
they concluded discretion was the better
part of valor and ran, leaving Mr.. H. the
victor We hope Mr.. Hartwig will be able
to find some clue that will lead to the de-
lection of the perpetra tors of this outrage.

w eedS Going to Seed.

The past season bias been exceedingly ia
vorable for the growth of weeds, and as the
advocacy of weed determination is always
in order, q few words on that subject just
now is eminently proper. The roadside is
source from which number of recruits are
furnished every year to the army of foul
weeds. Every farmer should see that pests
are removed, not only from his fences, but
alsofrom the highways running by or,through
his farm. The only title that the public
have in the roads is the right OF way and
the use of material by the wayside to keep
them in repair. 1t is the duty of the owner
Of the farm or his tenants to keep the weeds
down along the highway The yards and
pens about the premises, the compost heap,
ETC., are often infested with weeds which a
little timely labor Will destroy, that other
wise will be the prolific sources of number
less pests of the SOIL aud Of labor and OF loss.

Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives = Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are SO skilfully COM
bined that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The Seven Fishermen.

The early riser last Thursday morning
might have seen seven innocent appearing,
sleeping looking pilgrims vending their
way to the 7 o'clock train, each ladened
with provisions enough for a crew of har-
vesters. Evidently this crowd of innocents
were not In the habit Of impairing their
constitutions by early rising, except when
their beds fall down. or pleasure trip is in
view, for their eyes needed a good deal of
rubbing before they would accustom
themselves to the light SO early in the
morning. The seven composed party of
fishermen, and although they more than
half expected to be treated to isherman's
lack in one respect, they determined not to
be in the other. as their well-flled baskets
amply testified. The fish in Pewaukee
lake were to be the victims, and the
reason that any escaped the clutches of the
seven able-bodied feeders can be accoun-
ted for only on the hypothesis that the fish
were sharper than the fishermen. AS one
of the party We will testify that the fish in
that lake have been well brought up, and
know how to take bait without getting
the hook into their mouths as we'll as any
fish in the world. Notwithstanding this
fact, however, the party caught large
string, while the ssbites" were thick enough
mosquito aad otherwise-to prevent the
thoughts of the boys straJing to their bas-
kets, or their mouths from watering for the
wet groceries that were not, which fact was
owing to the treachery Of one from whom
"better things" were expected.
The party returned at P NJ, and taken
altogether the day was pleasantly spent by
all. repetition of it, except in one par
ticular, is talked of some time in September,
when it is to be hoped that the committee
on tonic will be thoroughly reliable one.
