Aunt Miriam Platt and my laund-

ooh, Mr.. MOttilnOre!" she cried
piteously, ~ know you won't mind

"But have received snch letter
from Charley, and as-as you've
known him a long time, | thought
perhaps you could explain it to me.
Oh, have been so wretched. And
indeed, indeed, 1 didn't deserve it,"
She gave me a tear-blotted letter
and Their sat down to Cry quietly in
the corner of the sofa until such
times as | should have finished its
perusal.
"What does he mean, Mr.. Motif

"whenE he accuses me of dcceiying
him, of selling myself to the high
est bidder? Oh, it is so dreadful"
folded the letter and looked Sc
verely at her.
Miss AdraDce," said 1, gravely,
''it strikes me you are trying to
play a double part here: The Aft
anced bride of Benjamin Bullion
ought hardly to hope to retain the
allegiance Of poor Charley Dresden
into the bargain"
II don't understand you," said
Sophy, looking wisttully at me.
"Are YOU not to become the wife
of MIR. Bullion, the banker9" | ask

"Oh. dear no." said Sophy.
THAT'S mammal
"Eh?" gasped [.
''It's mamma" answered Sophy.
"She's to be married next week!

Well, / had got myself into a pretty

aAnd now" said I, "do you won

Sophy's face grew radiant.
"But there's no harm done," said
she. ''No real harm, mean. Be
cause I've written hima long letter
all about mamma and Mr.. Bullion,
which he must have received al.
most the next mail after he sent off
this cruel, cruel sheet of reproach-
es."
Sophy was a true prophet. There
was no ''real harm" done. The next
mail brought letter full of entreat-
les to be pardoned, and a brief,
brusque note to me.
I stood mp with old Ben. Bullion,
and that full.blown rose, Sophy's
mamma, after all; and when Char

CEDAR ISLAND GUANO is a
complete manure, containingall the
elements Of good plant food, and in
proper proportions, to sustain veg
citation through the entire period
of its growth, and brings crops to
their full maturity. 1t has been
found especially good on peas, po-

equal satisfaction on corn and

of last year, and is registered in

Mr. Edward Hanlan, the great oarslnan, and
until his recent contest with Beach In Austria
LA, the champion Of the world, may certainly
be looked spon as an authority in everything
affecting athletic sports. Before leaving Aus
tralia for this country, he wrote letter in
which he stated that he had used St. Jacobs
Oil with the most beneficial results. Ho found
it reliable remedy Tor muscular pains in the
arms and limbs, and from hie personal exper-
ience took great pleasure in recommending It.
No stronger proof Of the truth Of what is
claimed for St. Jacobs Oil could be furnished
than this, and it will undoubtedly carry great
weight with all thoughtful and Intelligent
people.
