In the most romantic way, You will find
the young men and maidens sitting in
delightful proximity upon the ratings,
or walking up and down the sidewalk
and making love in the latest style; and
the lofty trees tower up and throw their
branches protectingly above them, cast
ing so dense a shade that even the en-
vious moonbeams can not peep through
and no one can see if his arm should
accidently slip around her waist, and it
is here on sparkling nights that the
"Rule of Three" that two is company
and three isn't, is most fully and beauti-
fully demonstrated. But after all we
don't care if the summer and the roses
have gone together and white winter is

then we shall stand off in silent dignity
and smiling composure like people who
are confident they have good thing"
and let the facts speak for themselves.
The "Welr' is situated in the western
part of the city in the midst of lovely
grove, the green grass and shade max
ing it a pleasant resort.

the band we visited the "Well'' and
seating ourself fell to watching the
people.
Men, women and children, were con-
stantly filling jugs, bottles, pitchers, and
pals with the healing waters, Others
were drinking and still others sitting on
the grass and benches laughing and
talking. Near us sat man with his
head tied up with red handkerchief
and an expression of countenance that
would have deferred grudge of human
nature from addressing him unless he
had his will made. But motherly fa'
woman who looked as if she had lately

''Didit hurt?" she asked, her womanly

What is the matter, inquired of a
bystander.

stylish female in red silk and white
hat, has lost her pocket-book
The lady In question in great excite

ing bag, and the bosom of her dress in
vain, declaring with a frightened look
that it was gone, tbut she had it mo-

it, showing that she shared the pro-
found belief of all women when away
from home that they have been, or are
about to be robbed.
As she was young and pretty the la

a thorough search was made without
success, and the lady's cheeks turned
pale and tears filled her eyes. This was
