George w. Simpsons Dilemma.
Ig VJaoxyan ha1N mo ~

llcdfcH lclp luc
Refine McCloskey looked up with a
startled expression in her deep, fawn-
like eyes as these words reached her,
and as her glance met that of George
w. Simpson she saw, or fancied that she
did, a look of haunting fear and name
less terror pass over his face, whileth
hand that held her own seemed to
tremble slightly and the inely-chiseled
lips quivered as if in pain.
"You are ILL.," she said, placing her
hand upon his arm and looking up
wistfully at the face of the man she
loved so well.
For an instant George did not reply.
Then bending tenderly over her until
his lips were almost touched by the
coronal of sunny hair that her father
had agreed to pay for next month, he
kissed the fair white brow that was
npturned to him.
"You love me, sweetheart? he
asked.
"Better than life," replied the girl,
drawing still closer to him and stroking
with a gentle touch his handsome face,
which was hot and feverish-" but you

conservatory where the air is purer."
"No," said George, LET me sit here
beside you for a few moments. You
have said that you love me, RENE. Is
that love the mere ephemeral passion
of a girlish fancy, or is it a true, deep,
holy affection that will go on and on
forever and ever, each day that dies
on the horizons purple rim making it
more steadfast and abiding?"
For answer she placed her hand
again within his own, and as she
looked up to him he saw that the
beautiful brown eyes were sutfused
with tears. "Iou are cruel to eve
doubt my love, darling" she said be-
tween the soils that made her words
sound like cider coming out of a Jug
far more cruel than you know. No
matter what betides. | shall always
love you, and your smiles and caresses
be eve to me as the gentle dew that
kisses into new life the parched and
withered flowers of an August day.
Nothing in the wide, wide world can
eve shake that love"
mot even misfortune, or a bitter
disappointment ?" he asks.
"Nothingr' eXclaims the girl. "But
why do you ask?' and her rudy
cheeks became ashen with a sudden
fear. What has happened"
"Be brave, my precious one" he
murmurs, while Refine sits there in
silence, every feature strained in
tense agony, awaiting his next words.

100000 of Desirable Mer-
chandise from the Lead
ing Markets of the
World
To be Offered Over Our Re-
tail Counters at the
Lowest Prices
Ever Known.

The new departure of JoR-
DAN, MARSH & Co., in giving
up their Wholesale Business
and devoting their entire time
to the demands of their enOr-
nous Retail Establishment,
has been inauguratcd by a
Colossal Sale of Dry Goods,
aggregating $2,5OO,OOO in
value.
In giving up the wholesale
department, the easiest and
most profitable way for us
would have been to have
made a slight mark down and
closed out the stock to our
wholesale customers. Instead
of doing this we saw the OPP
portunity to show the people
of New England that we ap-
pleciatc their patronage dur
ing the last 25 years, and de-
cided toremOve the wholesale
stock to our retail establish
ment and give the people the
whole benefit of cost prices,
having cut off the manufac-
turers', jobbers' and retailers
profits. This is a mark down
Of 25 per cent. in all cases,
and 80 per cent. in many,
from the prices at which these
goods are selling to-day.
Bear in mind the fact that
these goods are all new and
fresh, as they were selected
expressly for ourspring trade,
and they are of such an inf
mite variety and extent that
the wants Of all classes of peo-
pie in all conditions of life can
be met, at prices which are
not likely to be duplicated in
the lifetime Of this generation.
The sale was begun on Mon
day, Apr. l6,and we have such
a tremendous crush every day
that all of our out-Of-town Gus
toners who can make their
purchases between 8 and 10
A. NJ. will find it a much more
convenient time for making
their selections than later in
the day. Orders by mail will
be promptly filled, when re-
ceived before the lots are all
sold.

In no way can disease be

keeping the system in per-

Concerning sheep, a writer from practi-

advice: "A farm can be stocked with
sheep for less money than with cattle,
horses or hogs. Sheep will come nearer
utilizing everything that grows on The
farm than other animals. Less labor will
be required for getting feed and stock to-
gether. The returns will come in sooner
and oftener than with any other farm
stock. except hogs. Less labor will be
required for shelter and fencing, and
less labor is involved in herding, where
outside pasture is accessible and preferred.
And, finally, handsome income on the
Investment can he had wiihout the sale of
the animals themselves
