And Cora found herself alone in a
strange land, without money and with
out friends. Long since, her most val
liable Jewels had been sold, and the few
that remained brought scarcely enough
to take her to England Yet there her
longing eyes were fixed, though her
fathers death, eight years before, had
left her homeless, even there, Still she
felt she must leave the tainted atmos-
phcre where she now lived, and she
hoped TO find friends among those who
had known her IN her more prosperous
days. SO, with a brave heart, she start
cd on her Journey, and in due time once
more stood upon her native shore.
The little money she possessed procur-
ed her shelter for day or two, but left
her nothng,to.buy food with, and starva-
tion, with all its grim horrors, stared
her in the face. Mechanically she turn
ed to her almost empty trunk, and
looked eagerly over the few remaining
articles. They were worthless and un.
saleable, save the Italian girls present
Of the two portraits, which she had kept
as a pleasant souvenir Of the past.
Tears filled Coras eyes as she looked at
them.
"They are Of little value, doubtless"
she thought; "but I must sell them or
starve.'
So she took her stand Oh the crowded
thoroughfare, prayerfully hoping to find
a purchaser. Presently two gentlemen
came down the street. They stopped
and looked critically at the italian girls
likeness
cit is the very image Of her, by Jove"
said the younger.
"True," said the other. Sand if l
am not mistaken, strange as it may
seem, painted by herself. Yes; see, here
is her name in the corner"
And he questioned Cora concerning
the pictures. She told him the story
simply and truthfully.
81 remember the circumstance well,
he said, "for / myself am the doctor
who prescribed for her, and who wit
messed your noble action. The years
that you have passed abroad have made
the italian girl famous, and these pic
lures painted by her are worth small
fortune. Luckily / am rich enough to
afford the luxury of buying them"
And he promised Cora sum for them
which astonished her.
"How strangely it all happened !"
thought Cora when renting some comfort
able rooms "Who would have be.

gratitude would be the means of placing

But Coras history does not end here,
for DR.. Rivers-who had never married
perhaps because he had never found
any face SO lovely to him as Cora Lest
er'stbecame her constant visitor, and
she soon learned to love him with the
full and perfect love Of her womanhood.
She is his wife now, happy, honored and
loved. The two portraits hang conspic-
uously in her drawingroom, where they
are greatly admired. And che thankful
tears often rise to Cora's eyes when she
looks at them, and remembers how she

the average Of life being lessened every year,
without any reasonable cause, death resulting

this season of the year especially, cold Is such
q common thing that in the hurry of every day
life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending
it and often ind too lste. that Fever OF Lung

lives in this way every winter, while had Bos-

DRAMATIC.

BREAD ON THE WATERS" For the
first time in this place, the drama ''Bread
on the Waters was presented to large
and attentive audience ON last Friday
evening We do not intend to go into a
full detail of this play, but mention a
few of the leading features. Mr.. John
Hague, the comedian in this play, rep
resented Jonathan Wilde Butts" with
the air of professional. The strongest
acting was shown in the second act, and
the eliminating point of the good acting
was reached at the end of that act in a
scene worked up by Martin COwen as
Bob Winders," George Weir as Harry
Harlem" Will POrtertield as Erred
Hastings" and Stella Umstead as
"Dilly'"
"BoYs of 1776."-This drama was pro-
duced as an after-piece, and as it has
been before an audience in this place
heretofore, we will not attempt to COM
ment. Suffice it to say, all characters
were favorably presented. All the la
dies were excellent, and in this play,
among the ladies most prominent was
Miss Rossie Hoffner as prudence Gran
ger" In the character of Dutchman,
Mr.. Sam West takes the medal.
1t is the highest praise to say that the
plays were carried through in such a
manner as to hold the closest attention
of the audience Our citizens can well
be proud of this little club, and should
patrOnize their performances. Receipts

John DRUM & Goa few weeks
ago the county @ papers published at
St. Clairsville thought to belittle the re-
moval movement by referring to it as
a movement of John Drum & Co." We
beg to inform these gentlemen that this
firm has grown until it is now composed
of 6,7O0 members, and is daily receiving
accessions. No one is admitted to mem
bership in it who is .nOta legal voter or
an adult taxpayer Bellaire. Tribune.
Yes, how has it grown? Let us in
yestigate. In Union township alone we
have found that almost the whole petit
tion is written in one hand write, and,
more than that, ONE mans name appears
in TWO places. To illustrate suppose
John w. Smith is written in one place
on the petition, in another place will be
found j. w. Smith,-being the same
man, but placed there to represent an
other person. And again, we find a
mans name on the list who has been
dead for four years, and another who is
an idiot. These, these are the kind of
men that are admitted to membership"
on the "John Drum & Cos" list, are
they? You will hear of this business
again, gentlemen.
