"There's nothing to pardon, unless
it is the brusqueness with which I've
blurted out my reasons TO: getting you
away from the house."
"You are not brusque," she said, and
walked on in silence. I could guess
how she was striving to dismiss the
scenes Of the evening from her mind. At
last she spoke OF her aunt, expressing re-
greet that she had left the invalid to seek
her couch unassisted.
Don't worry" said I. Mrs. Clark
will be only too happy to take your
place tonight. Besides, it is probably
just as we'll that Mrs. Loring should not
have an immediate opportunity to over
whelm you with questions. That
would be bad for both of you. / can't

me as Il daughter-has loved me more
than many daughter is loved. A sac
rifce! There is nothing would not
gladly do for her"
II believe you. And my belief is one
of the strongest reasons for advising
you not to see her tonight. Please re-
member the promise you gave me-"
She halted for an instant, as if in pro-
test that the pledge had been exacted
when she did not fully understand its
meaning, but she did not offer to turn
buck. AS we strolled on. gradually
drew her into talk, and after little she
seemed to have freed herself from the
spell which had been upon her. At the
outskirts of the village we turned to the
right, avoiding the main streets,
walked slowly toward the bank of the
inlet, up which small coasters occasion
ally sailed from the bay. From one OF
the old wooden piers we could make out
the shape OF yawl gliding seward on
the ebbing tide. The voices of two men
on board the bort came to our cnrs
over the black water, in which glistcned
the pin-point reflections OF the stars.
II envy those men drifting along so
easily" said the girl. 1.-The water al

Since 1878 there haye been nine epidem-
les of dyscntery in different parts of the
country in which, chamberlain Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhee Remedy was used with
perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic
is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore, the best efforts of the
most skilled physicians have failed to check
it's ravages, this remedy, however has cured
the most malignant cases, both of children

How Unused Railway Tickets May Be Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.


How Unused Railway Tickets May Be Re-
deemed at Slight Cost.
Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets Oh their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go to the railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value u money. Most men, how
ever, do mother, and accept the loss
when the ii, '-et is worth less than a dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even of small
value, SO that the companies must be
richer by many thousands OF dollars
per year by reason of this neglect or ig.
norance.
Every railway ticket bears the name
Of the general passenger agent Of the
road issuing the same. 1t is a simple
matter to inclose the ticket with q let
ter directed to the general passenger
agent asking him to refund the money
paid and explaining the reason why
the ticket is left unused in the hands OF
the purchaser. 1t is courteous to inclose
a stamped envelope in which the money
may be returned.
When all these things have been done
the company usually acknowledges the
receipt Of the ticket holders communi-
cation and promises to investigate the
matter. Tho investigation consists in
the proper Identification Of the ticket
and a little bookkeeping to set all right
in tho accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceivcs from the company q check for the
amount due, along with a letter request
ing acknowledgment on the part OF the
recipient. That closes the transaction
and there is no material loss on either
side. New York Sun.

word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds OF
gloom.-To this we would add always
keep a bottle of Caamberlain's Cough

CHINESE JuooLERs.
Some Of tho Strange and startling vests
That They Perform.

Some Of tho Strange and Startling vestI
That They Perform.
Chinese jugglers and Indian fakirs
have pretty much the same t'stock in
trade" Here is an account Of some
tricks performed by a Chinese:
When the conjurer asked the specta-
tors what they wanted to see, some one
called for u pumpkin.
"a pumpkin, y answered tho conjur.
er; that is impossible. Pumpkins are
out Of season"
However, he was only talking, for
presently he took a pumpkin seed and
planted it in the earth. Then, having
made his little son. 4 or . years old, lie
down, he thrust a knife into his throat.
The blood poured out into O vessel, and
with 1t the man moistened the spot
where the seed had been planted.
Next he covered the corpse with a
cloth and placed a wooden bell over the
seed. In a few moments a sprout was
seen rising from tho soil. 1t grew and
grew and burst into flower. The flower
fell, the pumpkin showed itself and in
creased in size with extraordinary "a.
pidity.
AS soon as it was ripe the man picked
1t from the stalk, showed it to the pub
lie and took up a collection, after
which, of course, he lifted tho cloth
and found the boy perfectly unframed.
The second feat, by q different per-
former, was eve moro startling. A
peach was called for by one Of the spec
tators.
ut is March," said the magician.
1.-THE land is still icebound. Peaches
are not to be obtained now except in
paradise.
"Oh, we'll" answered the spectators,
you are a sorcerer and ought to be
able to bring q peach down from heav-
en-"
The c%onjurer grumbled, but finally
consented to see what he could do. He
began by weaving n roll of ribbon,
which he cast into the air. 1t took at
once the shape Of a ladder, which went
up to a tremendous height. On it he
placed a child. and the little fellow ran
up the rungs like a monkey. Up, up he
went till he vanished in the clouds.
Some moments passed, then a peach
dropped from the sky. The magician
picked it up, cut it into slices and Of
fered it to the bystanders. 1t was a real
peach.
Then a horrible thing happened. The
head Of the child dropped out Of the
sky and was followed by the trunk and
then the legs. With tears in his eyes the
man picked them up and placed them
in a box. But after much show Of grief
and after the sympathetic spectators had
taken up a collection for his benefit he
opened the box and said, "Come forth,
my child, and thank these kind gentle
men," At the word out leaped the child,
alive and well.-Philadelphia Times.
