Last Saturday night while VIM. r.
Bowen's team was standing in the FELTON,
house yard some one stole the fly net
from the harness, and this Sat urday he
hitched in the same place and some ono
relieved him of his carriage cushion
Some one, who ever it is, is very honest
in his dealings and we think ought To he

Mr.. Edward Bowen had money taken

evening, The next morning he told his
men about it and one man looked very
sheepish; ina few minutes lie picked up
bucket and started for water but failed
to return, the other men started in pur-
suit but he got across the creek. He car
ried a pistol and when they asked him
he said he had nothing. He had hid the
pistol and money. They let him go quiet

Left Did you ever get left have
often heard people speak of getting left =,
but never experienced that feelins I'M
Ill few mornings ago. We were all GO
ing to large meeting. In fact every one
was going. "Are you goin," is question
always asked when there is anything
going on, oh, yes, we are all going; don't
you know VIC are going to take you and
Miss---in our big two-horse dearborn.
Oh, isn't that delightful, exclaimed the
ohS SlOhCh w. WCiii luch VIC WonJ HdNc
to provide way, 30 don't you make any
engagement TO go with gentleman. We
ret urned home feeling very proud that
We could say, yes, am going. Oh, the
times we would have, and the fell
lows we thought we would see and ilirt
with. Alas we let our imagination car
ry us too far. On the evening before, the
ladies called and said, papa won't let us
have two horses so we can't take you.
In short time / returned home after re-
jecting gentleman's kindly offer to
take me--to my fate. 1--WE can't go"
were the first words that reached my
ears. My thoughts fell $50 below zero.
The next morning early tho village was
searched for horse and carriage to take
our drive but none was obtainable, so
we became resigned to fate and that is
how we got left. If there ever were sad
visages our two faces presented that
look on the morning OF the LIST dav of
Aug, 1888. There was some consolation;
we knew how much we would be mis-
sed; how some would hang over the
fence with their hat on one side and
and look for us others again would wear
melancholy smile. Those that inquired
for us got the same old answer They
couldn't come, and the same time
voice was whispering, They got left"
and the questioner would turn away
with face as long as your arm with
muttered word ("left") on his lips. This
is our first experience in getting left and
my friends and l devoutly hope it will
be the last. Those who read this will
know how l felt the morning l got
'1eft." LILY.
