"Have pity on mel Oh, have pity and spare my life ["
 Upon this the burglar drew back, very much surprised.
 "Miss Hildeburn l" he exclaimed, as he struck 6 match. "What are you doing here, and how can I serve yous"
 Now, poor Lucy, completely un- nerved and dreadfully ashamed of her. self, sat down on reversed coal scut- tie and burst into a fit of weeping.
 Then MT. Sangster knelt down be- side her, and confused interchange of explanations of various kinds ensued.
 The result was that at the expira- tion ot 8 half hour, MT. Sangster took Lucy in his arms, and kissing the tear- stained face murmured:
 "God bless you for this promise, my own darling"
 When Mrs. Collins came home two hours later the house was very quiet, the furnace in good order, and neither MT. Sangster nor Miss. Hildeburn wis., ible. But the following day Lucy confided to her a secret, and MT. Sang ster absented himself mysteriously for about three weeks. After that Miss Hildeburn also disappeared.
 "Gone to visit her aunt at Swath- more," Mrs. Collins explained to the other boarders.
 But 8 fortnight later the carrier brought some wedding cards to the house.
 "I was all brought about through the furnace," said Mrs. Collins, with 8 gleeful chuckle.
 But Miss Jane was infinitely dis gusted.- Chicago Journal.

Striking a WHatch(.

"Well, Miss Hildeburn, must say Pm real sorry you and MT. Sangster have fallen out like that"
 "Oh, Mrs. Collins, indeed you are mistaken. There has been no falling out between MT. Sangster and myself. Indeed, I am not on sufficiently socia- ble terms with any of your gentlemen boarders to have a quarrel"
 Saying which, Miss Hildeburn, a slight, delicate featured girl of eigh- teen, walked out of the room with even more than her wonted dignity of manner and carriage.
 Nevertheless, notw withstanding, ,n re- stunned Mrs. Collins, taking up her ironing, "I do believe there's been a misunderstanding between those two, and real pity it is, for he did admire her amazin'ly. He couldn't conceal it. Only they seldom know what is good tor lem, and she's a-lettin' her pride stand in. the way of her happiness now"

A Typewriter's Fib.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Early one morning last week chanced to be in the office of & whole sale merchant down town at 8 time when the pretty little operator of the typewriter tumbled into trap of her own making.
 Such pretty girl, with very blue eyes, bright brown hair and an as- sortment of dimples, is this delft man. ipulator of the typewriter keys.
 The telephone, which hung on the wall just behind the girl, whose desk was close to her employers, in his private office, rang loudly as took 8 seat. I seized the opportunity to con- graduate the merchant on the choice of so tair secretary.
 "Yes," said he in an undertone, "she is pretty, and she is as we'll behaved and quick at her work as she is pretty. The only thing can complain of in her conduct is the hold that telephone seems to have upon her. She is en- gagged, believe, to nice enough fel- low, @ clerk in brokers office, but he will persist in calling her up on the telephone. He called her up 80 often on Monday last that I told her she must tell the young man to wait until after business hours. She blushed and said she would tell him.
 "Since then-that was three days ago-apparently he has not been near the telephone, but strange to say Mary's-that's the girls name-sister has taken to holding long conversa- tions with her at all hours of the day The noise disturbs me, but don't like to interfere with the girls domestic affairs. Just listen to her noww
 We did listen, and we heard some- thing like the following:
 "Charlie didn't come to see me.' An interval of silence.
 "You know he called to see Kate" :" Interval.
 "What's that? "Oh, nonsense, of course I shall go with you. Will you call for me? What did you say? Oh, Bob's going too." Interval.
 "You can, if you like, but I just hate that girl, and if she's there I won't stay. Did you say six o'clock? Make it half past six" Interval.
 "I wish I could it seems an awful long time to wait. Oh, you musn't tslk like that. Isn't there any one there?"
 Interval, during which the girl, with the receiver at her ear, laughs and blushes by turns and finally says, titteringly: "Not one-I won't give you one, you bad boy"
 She hung up the receiver without another word and sat down, blushing furiously.
 "How is your sister this morning?" said the merchant, with an accent on the sister,"
 But Mary answered never word.

The Road Healshward Made Easier

The Road Healthward Made Easier.
 You have been ill, we will suppose, and are convalescing slowly. That is, you are trying to pick up little flesh, to regain some of your wonted color, to accustom your stomach to more solid nutriment than it's recently en- feebled condition permitted you to take. How can you accelerate your snail's pace healthwardf We are war ranted by concurrent testimony in affirming that if you will use twice or thrice day Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters, an enabling medicine of long as- certained purity and tonic virtues, that you will be materially aided. It pro- notes flow of the gastric juices, and helps the system to assimilate the nourishment of which it stands SO much in need. It remedies tendency to constipation without convuIsing the bowels. The liver 1t stimulates to renewed activity, safely promotes the action of the kidneys and bladder, and annihilates malaria and rheumatism at the outset.

Famous Women.

It is significant fact that most of the women who have achieved fame in art, literature, or 'taffairs," have en- joyed vigorous health. This shows that the mind is never capable of the severe and continued application nec- essary to creative work, unless the body is at its best. The woman who aspires to iii an exalted place among her associates must be free from ner- vous debility and female weaknesses. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will banish these, and it is warranted to restore those functional harmonies which are indispensable to health. As 6 specific for all those chronic weak nesses and ailments peculiar to women, it is unequaled.

Six patients were admitted-three char
ity, the rest paying small board.
Diseases brain fever, l pneumonia.
l rheumatism, l tonsilts, 2 surgical
cases.
The attention of the public is called to
the needs of the hospital. 1t will be seen
by the above report that the running ex-
penses are heavy. 1t will also be seen
that six patients were admitted, of whom
three were charity; which goes to prove
the hospital is doing good work. but it
is not self supporting; it cannot be run
on air. money is imperatively needed to
sustain it, and the benevolent public are
appealed to, to contribute towards the
support of this worthy institution.
Donations of groceries or money, how.
ever small. will be thankfully received,
and may be left with the treasurer, Mr.
Geo. Loosely at the First National bank.
