Before he had quite finished shouts oi

were heard, announcing the approach

of Tzigan musicians, who played ON
their instruments as they walked along
Then came children, strewing the path
with flowers, then the bridegroom on
horseback, escorted by other young
men also on horseback, then the wagon
of the bride, which was drawn by six
millx-white oxen, whose long curved
horns were gilded, and gay with rib
bons and flowers.
In the center OF the wagon. seated
on piles of household linen, was the
bride, wearing the "beteala," or long
streamers of gold thread, which usually
replace the bridal yell. She locked
bright and happy, but modesty decreed
that she must keep her eyes cast down.
Nevertheless, a gladstone look escaped
now and then from under her long
lashes.
Around her were laughing, chatter
ing maidens. Her father and mother
were also of the party-he wearing n
snow-white shirt, 'and broad leather
girdle, she with her long. fine veil en-
broidered with threads of gold, twisted
round her head and almost reaching

Neagoe had turned her back on this

the old man collected the money which
was offered to him. This passing

painful to Neagoe; il hurt her pride,
and she would have liked to fling the
money away. Thinking that the we'd
ding procession had moved on, Neagoe
turned her head in that direction just
as the bride had got down. She gave
sharp cry, an6, making her way
quickly through the crowd, she ran to
the bridegroom, crying out: "Radu!

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RREUMA-

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that +. p. p, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of his face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at a time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. Hc
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble. until he

are out of all trouble. We need fear no
more suffering. Obi Radu, how lucky
it is that we came this way"
But she stopped suddenly, for she saw
that Radu looked aghast and spoke
never word. The bride looked in as
tonishment from one to the other.
Then she smiled in derision. ''What,
.Radu, these beggars by the roadside
are thy father and thy sister?"
Radu kept silence,
"What, Radu, thou hast lied to me;
lied to thy Ileano! Did'st thou ever tell
me that thou vert the son of a wayside
beggar? Or, ii may be, that this girl
Is not thy sister, but. perhaps, thy

to marry her and then send her adrift

Then Radu, with great effort, said;

"Oh! Radu.," cried Neagoe, 'wilt

"Peuhl thou goest on the highway,

bride.
"Yes, go on the highway, and sing
FOR money, and am not ashamed Of
doing it," said Neagoe, proudly.
The peasants around began to muir
mur amongst themselves, and to take
her part, while 1leano said:
"Thou nearest me, Radu, will not
enter the church with thee until know
If these beggars be thy kin, or not"
"Ieano, have i not told thee that

hRURY COLLEGE, Springfield,
III has had very unique offer of an
endowment, which depends entirely
upon the verificatlon OF reminiscence
of the war by an eastern gentleman OF
means. The man offers to Drury a
large sum of money if it will verify the
truth of a war incident which is al
legged to have taken place in Missouri,
and which, il true, the Massachusetts,
man thinks, equals the story OF Da
mon and Pythias.
The president announces that the
college will accept the offer, and re-
quests the students to help him secure
positive evidence il such thing really
did occur. The story is that in the
early part Of the war detachment OF
confederate troops in Missouri took
about 400 Union prisoners. Twelve OF
these prisoners were lined up and shot,
without provocation, by the confeder-
ate officers. Upon hearing of this act,
the commander of the federal regi-
ment drafted twelve confederate pris-
oners TO be shot in retaliation. AS the
line was being formed, young man
named William Lear stepped forward
and asked permission to take the place
of one of the condemned men, who was
his friend. The request WAS granted
and Lear was shot in the place Of
his friend.
