The man forced himself into the house and
out and called upon the servant to eject him.
Then the fellow sat Town and looked nj
Westermeyer with undisguised endowment.
At first the husband explained that he was
an unfortunate and eccentric fellow he had
known in former years and to whom he was
under some obligations.
This did very we'll until the man. meeting
them one day on the road, stopped the horse,
and leaning over the vehicle, kept the miser-
able husband i'll an agony of suspense for
fifteen minutes by reference to all sorts of
imaginary aud questionable transactions il
which he assumed they had been engaged
together. Then the woman commanded. She
ordered the rutian OFF, at which he hut one
eve, and looking AT Westermeyer, said {:
" Now,EDominie, don't you think you'd
better get ont and let me drive that woman
home for YOU / want to pick ont o room if
I'm to stop at your house after this"
At this speech Westermeyer struck his
horse with tho whip. The animal gave a
plunge and the man was knocked down in
the road by the rushing vehicle. About two
hours after, ho appeared at the parsonage
with his arm in 4 sling.
Westermeyer was desperate he took the
fellow into his study, locked the door and
asked him plainly II the possession of all
that he (Westermeyerl had in the world
would buy him OF. To this the man with
inexpressible gusto replied that there wasn't
money enough in the world TO buy him OIL,
Money oouldnt buy no such enjoyment as
this. Why, 'Asaid he, "h you ahould die,

effort drew that side OF its face into a repul.

tested in a brute nature. There is no reas on
to believe that Mr.. Westermeyer felt then that
his time had come and that the figure perched
there at the threshold was the strangely Sc.
lected agent of destiny to draw the curtain
suddenly over all happiness and hope. He
ordered the man to get down and go away.
TIL man took off his dirty army cap. wiped
his forehead with it. and, shutting his other
eye, said "Oh, no, you don't want me to go
away, you don't. I've come too far. Why, it
took me six years TO get here"
Then a thin, arrowy shaft shot through Mr..
Westermeyer's soul. He got his hat, and
saying he would coax the tramp away, went
towards him. AS he crossed the little lawn
he kept mis- eyes upon the figure as a bird is
said to keep its eyes helplessly upon a snake.
He dimly perceived something, shapeless as
| yet, but sombre, looming up in his path.
The birds were singing in the elms over his
| head, the Growing of his child was in his ears
as he went straight on to his doom.
When he had reached the man, and the two
looked squarely into each others face, Mr..
Westermeyer knew instinotively, though he
could not comprehend 1t, that his time had
come, He pushed the gate open, saying.
!" Come: my man, what can ! do for you ?"
and walked out.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now to be afflicted
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day it is as common as any word in
the English language. yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word
used by our forefathers in times past
So it is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biiousness. and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass it of through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can we'll appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

piled by Mr.. John Prentiss Poe, and
adopted by the General Assembly OF Ma
rvland at their late session. the word
"White'' is eliminated from the bastardy
law. In the printed copy of the laws of

IAN act to repeal section of article IL of
the code of public general laws, ana 70
re.enact the same This is classed as
chapter $3.50. and eliminates the word
white The new code contains this
section, and probably to make section I
of article IS to conform with it, the word
..white''is eliminated from section also,
and in that shape there is in the law, as
given 10 the code, no distinction as to the
color ofthe women. The statement Is
made that the so called act Of 1882 was
never passed, and that the Court OF Ap--
peals have so ruled But the adoption OF
the new code is said to settle the point
that the word white Is no longer in, the

they could not at any time raise sufficient
cash money TO properly furnish them. What
little furniture they had, was OF the poorest

ing small amount cash down and the balance
on small monthly payments. which are made
to suit their circumstances and are always
made so low that the money will hardly be
missed. Th plan has become SO popular in
all the larger cities that over two-thirds OF all
