A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record vouches for the wonderful eff
cacy of the common cat-taiI as q rem
edy for burns. He says: Take the
down, and with just enough lard to
hold it together make a plaster and lay
upon any burn, and it soothes and
heals so soon that it seems miracle.
Put upon fresh burn, andin less than
half an hour the smart is gone; if it is
an old burn, the healing Will commence
in tWenty-fOur hours. "Cat-taiI" is
also the Indian remedy for scrofulous
sores or ulcers. Age does not destroy
its healing virtues. 1t can be laid away
and kept for years without losing any
Of its remedial properties.

CHAPTER xxx.

TOinette had stood at the window, her
brain in whirl, and watched the carriage
roll away that was bearing Dulcie to
BonnyvieW Hall.
The bitterness of death itself had wrung
her selfish heart for few moments when
she first learned that her hated rival was
living, and all her schemes and tricks and
articles had come to naught.
Heretofore she had sometimes felt the
influence of good and generous impulses,
but now every noble sentiment seemed to
scOrch and wither in her soul, shriveIed
by the sirocco breath of passion.
She was a desperate WOman-wOrse
than desperate, reckless and relentless.
"IcOuld slay that Wretched creature with
my own hand, she said TO herself, hiss
ingly. 1T may even come to that. 1 will
do it, rather than suffer the happiness Of
my life to be wrecked by her.
To be sure, she had triumphed in the
encounter that had just taken place; but
the victory must necessarily be short
lived. Dulcie had yielded to her threats
and the force of her strong viii. and per-
mitted the impOsture to go on; but It
must some time come to an end. A care
less word, even look or a gesture, might
betray it.

thought bitterly. Even that marriage
ceremony might as we'll never have taken
place. 1t gives me no real hold upon
Philip. Heaven pity me! Fate has been
cruel, cruel. am not a good wOm4n,
but I believe I could have made Philip
very happy.
Her only safe course was to leave High
lands at once; but she would not entertain
that thought for a moment
She had sinned and schemed and suf-
fered to win the man she loved. She

She leaned her head upon his shoulder.
it was a supreme moment. Philip held
her clasped tightly in his arms. Then all
at once she felt tremor pass over him.
What is it?" she whispered
All the old doubts and misgivings had
returned with the suddenness of the
Hghtning's fash. The pretty fabric he
had reared upon facts, without the con
currence of his heart, fell with a crash,
utterly demolished.
But he could not tell her SO while she
looked at him with that air Of pathetic
appeal

said, turning hastily from her Don't

for awhile. 1t viii be less easy than I
thought to silence the inner voice that has
! been guiding me. But I will silence it.
After to-day you shall take your place
here as my wife, undisputed mistress Of
my house.
Toinette made no effort to detain him.
/ She was too happy, success seemed as
sured.
With DuIcie silenced forever, she had
| nothing to fear.
She could gradually regain the old su-
premacy over Philips heart; by and by he
would cease to miss or regret anythin1.
TOinette spent the day alone, laying
plans for the future.
She meant to persuade Philip to take
her abroad.
1t would be so much easier amid new
scenes and associations to cement the tie
that had been so ruthlessly broken.
She would not be too exacting-she
would give him time fully to recover from
his morbid condition, and become his old,
bright, charming self.
But something must be done. While
Dulcie lived her secret was not safe for a
moment.
She saw Philip mount his horse and
ride away with moody brow, as though
! trying to escape from his own distressing
| perplexities
Toward sunset she wandered forth into
| the garden.
She was slowly traVerslng q path near
the gate, at some distance from the house,
! when carriage stopped abruptly on the
gravel drive and two men sprang out.
IOinette turned at the low cry of eX-
ultatiOn they uttered, and was confronted
by Major Villars and Guy Vaudeville.

mer said, making a kissing sound between

The girls face grew winter than death.
| What did he meanl Had Dulcle betrayed
! her already?
Let me pass, she cried haughtilys adj
vancing upon him, her eyes dilating, her
! lips quivering, How dare you even
speak to me, you villain?"
The Major laughed cOntemptuous1y.
So that is the tone you take? 1t won't
help you, TOinette. You've played a
cunning game and lost Don't struggle
or cry out. We've come for you, and back
to BonnyView Hall you go.
Dragging her forcibIy to the carriage,
he raised her in his strong arms and
/ placed her upon the soft cushions.

JUNIPER PLACE, june d. '8g.

=---s 50 the publeIzs Let's
go back to Church
street, which was
~ bilt up with au
- sorts of houses, sum
g 43H<s little an meen 1Ookin.
an sum was big an
finished off to look
nice. Rite on the corner of Main street
was a good enuf house, but L CESS the
man that bilt it run out of mummy an
had to depend on weather staiuin.
But around it was prltty green lawn,
SO it wasent sech a bad lOOkin place.
Opposit to it was a big square house
belongin to Mr. Fred Roberts, who
cum from a neibOrin City sum yeers
after the war an settled down IN Tan
gletOn The RObertses was rutber
stilish, but Mr.. Roberts was so clever
an accommodatin that he soon maid
trends with evryb0ddy. His wife was
8 large, fine-Io0kin woman. an folks
thawt she was hauty. When once tina
got acquainted with her tina dident
notiss her manner. She was a very
devoted mother, an had nice children.
Mebbe I awt not to tell a little cpl
sOde that Mrs. Roberts told me about
her Oldest girl, Belle. She was 8
smart child allus reddy to pick Z an
TO mimic an full of pranks. Well, one
Sunday afternoon when her ma was
reedin out loud to her pa Miss Belle
slipped out an turned the keys on the
outside of the doors. Then she put on
her mas watch an chain an fixed her
self pritty grand an went fer a walk,
carryin the best parasOl in the house.
When Mrs. Roberts finished reedin
she found out tina was prisoners. an
MIR. Roberts sed he'd get out of a
windO an open door. But his brother
in-law cum along jest then an set them
free.
When Belle got home she told the
folks she had "bin down town bum
min" Mrs Roberts was likely too
much shocked an displeased to laff
about it then, but I've herd her laff
enuf over it since. Belle is a proper
nice young lady now, an L sepose she
don't remember about it, but 1t Is fact.
Across the street, q ways down, was
a neat cottage, where Mr.. Joe Wallis
lived. He had married q sister of Mrs.
Roberts. Mrs. Wallis took with the
Majors from the start. She was a fine
woman, but to my thinkin Mrs. Roberts
was superior.
Away up Church street is two FAM
iys that hev seen sum reyerses in life,
but now tina seam all rite. Mr.. Martin
lost the price of a good farm a store
keepin, an Mr.. Grace lost mummy sum
other way, but tina hav nice homes
WHARF tina settled menny a year ago.
Tina are Baptists, of course, fer the
church is rite opposit to 'em, an handy.
Dan Shiloh Gums to my mind Jest
now. He wasent altogether young, but
he married a girl that was. A nifty
fine girl, too, an she has proved it by
her life since. Perhaps there is not in
all TangIeton a woman that has had
moar tryals, an yet she is the saim pa
tient, sweet-faced Mary.

Cost of Armies.

An ingenious writer has been fgur-
ing out the comparative burden of the
national debts and war expenditure Of
the chief European nations and that Of
the United States. Taking France
and England together, he shows that
they pay some $507, 900, 900 a year on
the public debt, and $40, 600, 900 for
army and navy, besides giving up to
military service the productive energy
of 73O, 900 abIe-bOdied men. Estimat-
ing the value Of this labor at 800
each, there is another $73, GOO, 900 to
be added to the annual charge which
France and England pay for their
armies, nayies and debts. This, it VIII
be seen, reaches the appalling total of
$500, 600, 600 to be paid by a popu1a-
ton only % per cent. greater than that
of the United States, and one certainly
very much less able to bear such
burden. As against this, we pay
little more than $3.50, 600, 600 a year
for army, navy and debt, leaving $3.50, =
900, 600 a year IN our favor as com
pared with France and England to-
gether. That, under such conditions,
this country must go ahead in the race
for world supremacy as rapidly and as
surely as European nations must fall
behind, needs no prophet to foretelI.
1Iilitarism and progress are not In
these days convertible terms.

We clip the following notice O!
the death OF Bishop 1icTy eire,
from The New Orleans Picsyuna,
which occurred at Nashville q few
days since:
The death Of II. n. McTyeire,
senior bishop OF the Methodist
Church South, will carry sorrow
to million homes and hearts.
He was typical Southern man of
the highest order in respect to
character, culture and native force.
The circumstances Of his life had
made him prominent, and in every
position he had shown himself
master of the situation. In New
Orleans he is remembered particu.
larry well, because he was here
the editor Of the organ Of his
church and because he developed
capacity Cor discussing theologi-
cal and ecclesiastical questions
upon popular plane.
His wit, his humor, his pungens
satire, his rigid logic were the
most striking characteristics OF
his style. lie always spoke with
the utmost delibelation, and no
one ever heard him say a foolish
thing. In person he was strong
and broad. shouldered, but not
obese Whenever he rose in 8
deliberatiye assembly his form and
bearing commanded instantaneous
attention, and, as Milton has
it.
''In his rising seemed a tower of state,
With Atlautean shoulders fiji to bear
The weight of mightiest nonalcIlies."
AS q pulp. orator Bishop
McTyeire was seldom emotional,
only now and then his face would
light up with the expression Of q
beautiful thoughc. But lie always
had something to say, and it was
always something original, lnstuc.
tive and suggestive. We may say
that there vas invariably dis tine
ton and interest in his style.
Physically, he Was not active.
