The question was addressed to Tom
Marvin, who sauntered up 70 the group,
and it was an inquiry put with special
intent = in fact, a plot, that Toms
friends, or his associates, for the nonce
(Tom made wide distinction between
associates and frieuds) had devised TO
confuse him. Toms most peculiar
trait was a singular frankness and
undraped truthfulness about himself.
I am sorry to say that Tom was
known privately among his associates
as Confession" sometimes shortened
to "Fcss," though no one dared address
him to his face with the sobriquet.
This name, as ] have said, was gained
by Toms unusual and singular trans
parency about himself. He seemed to
have no reserve. A question would eX-
tort anything from him bluntly, pro-
vided it concerned only himself. He
was very far from that brutal I'M
kindness which some persons call
truthfulness or sincerity and pride
themselves much thereon, and which
consists of saying disagreeable things,
if true, no matter how the words or
facts would mortify. On the contrary,
Tom was very kind and heedful in that
matter, and would cover as much as
he could any facts or state of mind in
himself or others which would hurt
another's feelings or wound his pride.
But in all that concerned himself a fact
was a fact, and that was the end of 1t,
and the world might have it and well
come. Why should he be ashamed of
fact not shameful? This was what
he said on rare occasions, when some
one had expressed wonder and anluse-
ment at his popularity; but with his
own heart it was unargued and uncon-
scious. He simply was incapable of
covering anything concerning HIM
self or of caring whether it was known
or unknown, or of thinking what peo-
pie would say
NO" said Tom. II have heard no
news. What is it?"
"Why," said two or three of the
group, "Julia Elme is engaged to be
married"
Tom started visibly, in spite of a GER
tain sturdy fixity that belonged to him,
and his associates exchanged sundry
sly winks.
YES" said one young fellow, insinu-
atingly, "she is engaged, and I call it
good news. Julia Elme is a nice girl.
Don't you think it good news, Tom"
"Well, should say not" said Tom,
stoutly, and walked away.
That was little too much for them,
with all their knowledge of Toms pc
culiar way. They looked at each other
blankly for little while, and not quite
as comfortable as few minutes before.
One of them expressed his mind in a
long, low whistle, and another said:

Tom f;ad declihsd af1 Invitations and
suggestions to ioin In the excursions.
nicpics and such like Esyeties Of the
other guests Of the hotel. and one
evening Miss Elme asked him why he
so secluded himself.
Because have no money" said Tom,
bluntly.
The young girl flushed painfully.
"Oh, don't be troubled" said Tom,
kindly; 'you have done no harm with
your question. It does look a little odd
that 7 keep SO away from everything.
But, you see, / have just enough money
to pay my vacation of two weeks here
and get back to the city, with margin
of precisely quarter of dollar. SO
can have no extras"
"I think, Mr.. Martin-that is, per-
haps-" began Miss Elme, slowly.
"No," Tom interrupted, mo one can
give me anything, or loan me anything,
or make deadhead of me. But Iwould
like to spend that quarter of p dollar
for boat ride on the lake this minute,
Miss Elme, If you will go with me-"
Uncertain whether she were more
amused or more touched, the girl ac-
cepted the invitation, and bad occasion
to remember that little excursion hap
PLY, for Tom could talk well, and she
had quick imagination, and the moon
lighted stiffness was a good habita-
ton for both thoughts and fancies. And
Tom, who had often looked at her with
respectful interest, began to love her
from that hour. Her hands, her exceed
ingly truthful and gentle gray eyes
and mouth which, though not perfect
ly shaped, was sensitive and expressive,
were the only features noticeably pref
ty about the girl, but she had pervad-
ing charm which made one think of
Emerson's saying: ''There is no beau
tifer of complexion or form or be-
hayior like the wish to scatter joy and
not pain among u.s."
Tom betook himself straightway
from the disconnected jokers to Miss
Elme's abode, and no sooner was he
seated in the girls presence than he
began, without preface:
Miss Elme, have been told that you
are engaged to be married, and have
come to ask you whether it be true?"
The girls start and flush disturbed
Tom not at all. He was simply intent
on the facts in exactly the same rat-
ural way that the atmosphere is ac-
cepted when flowing in an open win
dow.
After long pause, to. abate which
Tom proffered no help, Miss Elme said:
"You are asking strange question
and very abruptly, Mr.. Martin"
"Yes," said Tom.
'It seems to be matter of my own
private life"
eyes," said Tom again.
SWELL" said the girl, at last, some

(From ne Kansas Guy. no., JournaLl
The following possesses an interest to the

Is of great value from a medical point OF

It's truth absolutely proven. The case de-

sworn on oath deposes aDd says:
During the spring Of the current year,
1898, my daughter Beftie, aged 10 years, be-
came afflicted witblA nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it Sc
riously interfsred with her studies, and
aroused the 9ravest fears that 1t would de-
velop int0 St. Vitus dance. My daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
tines be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm Of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in news
paper of a wonderful cure of the same disease
effected by Dr.Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was / impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that /
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the
case. Receiving reply which completely
satisfied me, sent for box of the pills.
From the very first dose a marked inn
proyement in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and excess
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
creased to an alarming extent After q
careful and thorough trial Of the pills, she
not only began to grow Lees nervous but also
began TO gain flesh.
1t is needless to say that was both sur.
prised and delighted with the wonderful
change brought about by the first box of the
pills. She is a new GIRL aud all the symp-
toms Of her disease have disappeared. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have oertaialy wrought
q wonderful and complete cure, and can
say nothing too good in their favor But
now she is away ON a visit, something she
would not have thought of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become strong,
healthy girl with no appearance Of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou.
bles. The pills have done wonders, and
take great pleasure in recommending them
TO all who are afflicted with similar
disease. (Signed) L. L. BARBoR.
