know that there was a long, long
hour before my fellow-clerk would be

might not come into the rear room
and discover my condition. The
events of days and weeks came before
my mind in all the details and I saw
faces-beautiful faces-angelic ntheir

fairly shouted with glee at themagnifcence of
the run, and Mr.sIngram almost felt co1apen-
stated for his rivals presence.
ter noticed the extreme haziness of the shore
line and began to realize the distance they
were out. In spite Of Ethel's protest she
peremptorily bade Mr.. Ingram put the boat
about and make for the shore.
1t was not until the young man attempted
to put her orders into execution that those
on board realized tide force of the wind that
was blowing. 1t came with great, powerful
gusts and made o horribel singing sound as
itsswept through the scanty rigging. Then,
too, it suddenly beanie apparent that while
Mr.. Ingram was sufficiently expert at running
q boat before q fair wind and an
outward sea, he was q very landlubber when
turn journey. The instant that he realized
this, Mr.. Forbes sprang to his feet and stag
gered to the stern, where sat Mrs. Baxter
and Ethel, both looking very pale and very
frightened.
BETTER give me the tiller, Ingram he said

one but q simpleton that he meant to have
his way.
II shall do no such thing, = retorted Mr..
Ingram, growing very white; y know how 70
At the instant he made the remark
q false movement of the tiller threw the
grooming little vessel with her side squarely
to 81 incoming wave. There was a rush of
water and every one on board was drenched

terror from the boy, who was seen to be

Ann,hiiating a Multiform Disease


 Miasmatic, or malarial, disease many forms. Physicians have, fOt the sake of convenience and for the purpose of indicating its most strongly marked forms, subdivided 1t into in- termittent and bilious remittent fever, dumb ague and ague cake. But It presents an infinite variety of symp- toms in different individuals. Be these symptoms what they will, ale ways remember that Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters will annihiiate them st the outset, and prevent their recur- renee. A review of the proofs would convince any one of the fact. This, however, is impossible, because they are too numerous, and unnecessary be- cause the effects of this grand anti malariAl specific are matter of com mon knowledge. No less familiar to the public are its remedial and pre- ventive effects in bilious attacks, con- stipation, dyspepsia, iDcipient rheu- matism, debility and kidney troubles It is, moreover, an excellent appetizer and tonic nervine.

 Matters progressed in this way
 some time, each one paying devOi attention to the young lady until

 On the withdrawal of the Unii

"The lady who writes does not say anything about his being good for nothing," said Lancelot in a consOla- tory tone. "On the contrary she speaks rather well of him."
 "ThAt don't matter worth 8 cent ? retorted the angry colonel. "If he was good for anything, he'd write straight to me and ask my permission, instead of taking advantage of girl being thousands of miles away from home, and running off with her. That's what I think about it, sir; and if I catch that man, Fll-well, I guess it won't do to say what Pll do; but somebody'll have to put on mourning for him. I feel, sir, as if you could knock me down with bank note, that I do, sir"
 To correct which ambiguous feeling he was obliged to order "cobbler" of extra strength, which he took st a gulp, and professed himself trife per cent. better.
 To offer consolation under the dis dressing circumstances seemed to Lancelot to savor of mockery, so he listened 6 bit to the colonels violent tirade against Britishers in general, and the robber of his daughter in par ticular, muttered few words of sym pathy, and remarking that it was nearly eight o'clock, wished the col onel "Good- night" and returned to the hotel.

A child beginning to read becomes ds
lighted with a newspaper, because he reads
of names and things which are familiar,
and he viii progress accordingly. A news
paper i'll one year will do child more
good than a quarters schooling. Every
father must consider that information is
connected with advancement. The mother
of family, being one of its heads and
having more immediate charge of chil,

mind occupied becomes fortified against
the ills of life, and is braced for emergency
Children amused by reading or study are,
of course, more considerate and easily
governed. How many thoughtless young
men have spent their earnings in tavern

THE Wyoming legislature will come in
from the backwoods tomorrow and take a
draught of the civilizing influence of nine
teenth century enlightenment. In other
words, they will take in the town." and
the Union Pacific Railroad company has
agreed to exhibit the Clephant--Dcnuer
Tunes.
From what We can learn of Denver's
conception of "the civilizing influences of
nineteenth century enlightenment" we
entertain grave fears for the physical well
fare of our legislators. 1t has been stated
to us that Denver's ''civilizing Influence"
frequently increases the size of u mans
head by purely artificial means and that
evenings of glorious hilarity ere followed
by days of unambitious thou ghtfulness.
Were it not for the well established repu-
tation which the legislators have acquired
for abstemiousness VIC should regret, in
the interest of public business, that they
went upon an excursion.
However, we might throw Out a vague
hint to the Denver boys that t here are a
few thoroughbreds among the lawmakers
who have lived a good while in the world
would be perfectly safe in any coun-
try. We poin with pride to B Iydenburg
and Tom Hooper.
