that he was sorry for him; he would ex-
plain when he got home. He must call
aud tell Bernice who he was, and then
she would understand why he went
away.
Very beautiful was Bernice Melrose
when she received Mr.. Welton that
evening, and she didn't look like de-
ceitful person in her white dress and
violet ribbons. And who was the lovely
girl with her, who was the exact coun-
terpart of herself, only SO much young
era child almost in yearsP
While Mr.. Welton was coniecturing
as to the identity of the beautiful crea-
ture with golden curls, Bernice said
sweetly,-
"Mr. Estey, allow me to present to
you my daughter. Burnie, this is Mr..
Estey, about whom have spoken to
you."
.'Your daughter? Really, I didn't
know you had a child; but allow me to
congratulate you." And Mr.. Welton
gazed in admiration at the dainty girl
before him.
81 am Mrs. Bernice Melrose, and this
is Miss Bernice Melrose. When you
called me Miss Melrose, I thought it
would be amusing to have you think I
was young lady instead Of widow;
but had I dreamed of what I know now
I should have undeceived you before"
"Nothing you would do would dis
please me; and as I have deceived you,
we are quits. I am Guy Welton's father,
and when gave you the wrong card
that day thought I would enjoy little
masquerade while getting acquainted
with Guys friends"
'It must have been a diamond cut
diamond affair, then," said Burnie, who
until now had been mute listener.
''And you are the very dear friend of
my son? If you are willing to have me
for father, Burnie, I am more than
pleased to have such lovely girl for
my daughter"
"And now I must explain my letter
to Guy" soliloquized Mr.. Welton on
his way to his boarding house that even
ing. "What simpleton was to doubt
ny Bernice; but love and suspicion &C
hand in hand"
There was sort of worried air about
Guy next day when his father greeted
him.
"Well, I suppose it is settled to your
satisfaction. Is she what you expected"
asked Guy, impatiently.
"Ahem! No, not precisely. You
see, Guy, you see-or rather the plain
facts of the case are, she is great deal
more than expected, and I am engaged
to her mother, and it all came about in
this way. 1 struck chance acquaint-
ance with Bernice Melfose your Ber-
nice, thought her-and kept up a live
ly Irritation until we got engaged; then
she presented to me the sweetest girl in
Christendom as her daughter, Bernice
Melrose. And now, Guy, the house is
yours that is, if you will take me for
father in-law."
"I'm astonishedl But to fall in love
with persons named Bernice Melrose
seems to be family failing, SO we had
better shake hands on the subject"
"Say family blessing, rather" inter-
posed Mr.. Welton.
"Farther gone than ami" comment
ed Guy, sagely, while hearty hand
shake ended the vexing subject-name-
ly, Bernice ENTHUSIASTICALLY Maga-
zine.

his part prevent him from catering to
those requirements no matter what the

themselves and where they are once
used he has no hesitation in asking and
getting additional orders.
The success which attends him in his
business has warranted him in having
made by Kerbaugh, one of the best
coach builders in the city, a beautiful
ole horse wagon for the delivery OF
goods to any part of the city. The
wagon is strong, light and springy.
The painting, lettering and decorating

Mr.. j. B. Stradley, letter sign and
ornamental painter, second to none in
the city.
The colors are variegated, the run.

credit on, not only Mr.. Kerbaugh for
building it, Mr.. Stradley painting and
decorating it, but on Mr.. Chapman for
devising it and carrying it into execu.

emulate Mr.. Chapman in handsome
wagons, but if they do he will take a

GIRLS SOLD AT AUCTION.
Wrapped in Sheets and HANDED
over 20 the Hig hest Bidders.

From the Des Moines Register
Up at Clear Lake the churches be-
came tired of the old stereotyped plans
of raising money and new scheme was
evolved from the inner consciousness Of
some bright genius. The treasury Of
the Congregationalist Church became
rather bare and 80 the young folks got
together and determined to fill 1t even
to overflow. After long discussion it
was decided to bring about the desired
end by putting ali the girls of the
church up at auction to be disposed OF
to the highest bidder.
The time came around, and every
young man in that part of Iowa in or
near Clear Lake who had any money or
could possibly borrow any was promptly
on hand eager to bid TO the fullest extent.
But there were some OF the girls on
whom it would have.been impossible to
obtain the bid of an old fashioned cop
per cent, while there were others for
whom the love sick swains would will
ingly have bid their last dollar, and, in
the spirit of Artemus Ward, the last
dollar of any Of their relatives. So to
RlNo All Uuo DoyS al oIual phoHSO'
the girls were wrapped up in sheets,
so as to be completely unacceptable.
Each young man was positive that
beneath the snowy folds of the sheet
he could discern the outline of the girl
on whom he dotted, and when fifteen to
t xenty of the young fellows singled out
one particular sheeted object onwhich to
stake their fortunes, excitement ran
money ran out of pocket books
like water down slanting roof.
After all the fair ones were disposed
of the order was given to "haul up the
Sheets" and then ensued an indescrib-
able scene of mingled happiness. Maid.
ems who had been purchased for mere
song, owing to lack of bidders, turned
ont to be the best looking girls in the
town, while be ings whose sylph like
appearance under sheet excited the
greatest admiration and drew hard
earned money from unwilling pocket
books were found to be most common
place creatures indeed. But all made
the best of it and the disappointed ones
bore themselves up bravely.

AtfIgD de Of The Irish Party

Mr.. Sexton, member of Parliament
for Sligo, addressing his constituents,
said that the land movement wrung the
Land Act from reluctant ami ignorant
legis lature. He violently condemned
the Repression Act.
In reference to the alien clauses, he
expressed doubt whether the relations
of England and the United States are
so friendly that it is advisable for the
former to try to embitter them still fur
ther. The irish party, he said, felt il
to be their duty to meet every proposal
of the Repression bill with stern and
resolute opposition. There were nc
splits in that party The triumph Of
the land movement in a year OF two was
certain.
In replying to an address last even.

Condition Of Those VINO were
Injured.
Those wh, were injured by the run
away horses yesterday are doing mucf
better than could be expected, with the
exception of Mr.. and Mrs. Cole, whose
injuries are of very severe nature.
Mr.. Cole was delirious all night and
did not rest at all and this morning be
insisted on getting up and going TO at
tend to his business. The tongue of the
wagon struck him on the back of the
head, and it is thought that one of the
wheels passed over the left side of his
body. Considering the serious nature
of the injuries and his advanced age,
his friends have grave fears for the re-
sult.
Mrs. Cole is also badly hurt and her
injuries appear to be of an internal ma
ture. She, as well as her husband, suf-
fers considerable pain and her daughter
expressed tear this morning that even
if her life was spared she would be a
cripple.
Mrs. Annie Shockley, young
woman, who with her husband lives in
part of the same house with Mr.. and
Mrs. Cole, rested badly last night and
this morning complained of a great
deal of pain in her left side. She has
an ugly wound on her forehead over
the left eye, and her whole nervous
system seems shattered. This lady
had purchased her marketing and was
standing at Mrs. Coles stall when the
accident happened, and in an instant
she was knocked down and trampled
under the horses feet.
Mr.. Outten was somewhat better this
morning, and rested tolerably well last
night He still suffers considerable
pain and cannot bear to be moved. He
seems to be suffering from the shock.
When he was struck by the frightene d
horses he was in the act of getting cab
bage out of barrel and was in stoop-
ing position. Mrs. Ande rson, a grand
daughter of Mr.. Cole, rested pretty
we'll last night, and is ere' ~ ilnpror-
cd this morning.
1t was at first thought that her col
lar bone was broken, but subsequent
examination showed that none OF her
bones were fractured.
Mrs. Witsill who was knocked down
and cut about the head and face, Is
better this morning, but complains of
considerable pain in her head and back.
Benjamin Jones, who was driving
the horses yesterday in the absence of
the regular driver, and was throw n out
of the wagon, was able toretura to his
work in the afternoon, his injuries not
being as bad as at first supposed.
Saveral others who were knocked
down are suffering from nervous pros.
traton and very few of them rested
much last night.
