looks Like Grant.
From the n Y Enn.

Capt. Davis, L. :. r. NJ, is one OF
the jolliest of Uncle Sans sea dogs, and
but for one thing his good nature would
be complete. Hardly day passes but
sometimes followed for blocks by
cranks. The reason is his remarkable
resemblance to the late Gen. Grant.
The likeness is startling. Even to the
cut of his beard and the wart alongside
of the nose. BY a strange coincidence,
Capt. Davis is now in command of the
revenue cutter Grant 1t is going out
of commission, and lies at the foot of
Fourteenth Street, n. r., being over
hauled. Capt. Davis expects to be as
signed TO Lake Michigan, with head
quarters probably at Milwaukee.

MAYynLE, y. Y, Dec. z, 1889.
/ am glad to say from long personal
experience with ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs, that | am able to endorse all
the good things that have ever been
said about them, and supplement these
by saying that ! frankly believe their
value cannot be estimated. Their
breadth of usefulness is unlimited, and
for prompt and sure relief TO almost
every ache and pain that flesh is heir to,
no other remedy, in my opinion, either
external or internal, equals them in GER
.nty and rapidity. | have used them
at one time for rheumatism, another for
backache, again for bronchitis, always
with the same result-a speedy cure.

Lost Lima,

THE BITTER And THE SWEET.
4 Tale Of Two Continents.
BY MRS. NINA LAWSON.

CHAPTER N.-TCoNTNUEDI
ooh. 1t is You, Gertana? | am SO
glad"
You naughty little girl! Why aren't
you dressed, ready to 90 down stairs
with me? We have company for din
Eer-two gentlemen friends of Sylyes-
ter's.
As she spoke, there was Il merry
twinkle in her sparkling eyes.
Well, Gertana, under the circum-
stances | am really glad that | did not
60 down. In fact, | did not feel like
dressing, or should have done so.
His sudden return has considerably
unstrung my nerves. 4 prisoner, you
know. ought not to he present at a
dinner party, but if that hateful man
expects me, please make my excuses.
All right, Lenora, | understand YOU
but promise me that you will not leave
the house tonight or at any other time
without my knowledge"
Il promise you, Gertana."
Good. Goodnight, Lenora."
She then left the room and returned
to the parlors below just as the bell
rang for dinner.
And such a dinner Fit for a king
1t lasted long, and the courses were
many, followed by wines and creams.
The chief topic was the prospective
dinner party.
Finally the dinner was over, and the
little party returned TO the parlors.
After some music, and expressed re-
grets that the cousin was too i'll to vet
join the family, the two friends took an
early departure.
"Gertana, / must necessarily leave
the city early in the morning, and fear
that | shall be detained, perhaps, three
OF more weeks at the least. There are
a few favors | wish to ask of you, and
as | am quite sure you will grant them
[ will not ask YOU whether you viii
or not shall take it for granted that
you will.

ter, | will

watch Lenora and not let her escape.
| think YOU have more influence over
her than |, and now. promise me that
she will be here and WELL as she now
is, when | return
You are asking considerable of me,
Sylvester, considering that | have
neither the power nor desire to capture
or release but | viii do my best to
keep her here / think it would be
folly for her at.present to try to escape,
as closely as she is watched. She will
be here when YOU return"
Thanks, Gertana; you are both
brave and beautiful, and have relieved
me very much"
Very well. [ simply intend to do
my duty"
Fortunately for the two unhappy
ladies Sylvester did not know what she
meant by her duty
Il have a few letters to write, also some
packing to do, and probably will not
see you again until [ return, for take
very early train; so, good-by and
goodnight.
Noll went to the library and Gertana
retired to her room.

A few evenings ago Barlow Brothers
MINISTRIES played in the town OF Torring-

pretty young lady became Immediately
enamored of a young artist. She fol-
lowed him to Winsted the following
day. Sunday they took a row on Long
Lake. They were down to Second
Bay, when suddenly boat shot out
from the willows. 1t contained an
oarsman from Torrington. He steered
up alongside his boat; there was col
lision. The young lady was pulled into
the boat, while the minstrel was floun-
dering in the lake a few minutes later.
The minstrel was not drowned, but the
girl was awfully embarrassed, for the

Paganism and Christia nifty in China

An official report upon the Chinese
quarters of San Francisco, made about
two years ago by committee of the
Board of Supervisors, ter several
months of careful survey and investiga-
ton, presented probably in clearer
light than ever before the true phases
of Chinese colonial life. Thirteen joss
houses were found; Christian churches
were turned into Chinese lodging
houses and brothels. Missionary work,
in nearly forty years of effort and labor,
had not brought dozen converts into
the fold who could be properly vouched
for as such. In the contest between
idolatry and Christianity, the former
was in full and undisputed possession
of the field

CHAPTEE VI

CHAPTER NJ.
As NOll entered the library he flung
himself in a large easy chair, where he
remained for hours. resting his head on
his hands and his elbows on his knees.
This was his favorite position when in
deep thought, or laying some desperate
plans. He sat there motionless, seeing
nothing, hearing nothing, but finally
he leaned back against the back of the
chair, with the air of one who had de

Before Gertana could get that prom

would have persuaded Lenora to have
played so wrong part. Her tortured.

Ienora was then compelled to do.

that she should remain in that I'M

that she had become SO fondlv at

Securely and closely were the threads

would change the course of life entirely
for the two fair inmates.
Gertana had ordered dresses from

Nothing was forgotten and nothing
could be more beautiful than the rooms
