South Charlestown is an enterprising COM
munity and can get ur as good entertain
ments us her sister towns that are larger. "A
very enjoyable one was heard by n good por-
ton of their people on the evening of May 70
when Calvin Barber of Bellows Falls came
up with an orchestra of young people and an
upright piano. The orchestra consisted OF
one young man and three young ladies', who
played violins, and another young lady who
accompanied them on the piano, also j. r.
OBrien, who played piano solos. The enter
tainment was to pay for repairing the district
organ and was held in their new schoolhouse
which had been handsomely decorated with
wild flowers and potted plants, by the teach
ers and scholars, Johnny Bashaw, one OF the
scholars, rising ut A. NJ. to go on the noun
tain after the fragrant mountain pinks. The
following program was listened to by an APP

The concert concluded with a sale OF ice

of ice cream given to each was very generous
and of fine quality, and the cake was evidence
that all were first class cooks. The receipts
were between 80 and $40, which Swas more

Susy's arm she left the room. Brant did
not linger, but took leave of his host al
most in the same breath. At the front
door well-appointed carriage of one
of the legations had just rolled into
waiting. He looked back and saw Miss
Faulkner, erect and beautiful as bride
in her gauzy draperies, descending the
stairs; before the waiting servants. He
felt his heart beat strangely. He hest
tated; recalled himself with an effort
hurriedly stepped from the porch into
the path as he heard the carriage door
close behind him in the distance, and
even felt the dust from her horses
hoofs rise around him as she drove past
him and away.

Call for Peoples Party Mass State Conven-
ton

All voters and citizens of Vermont who are
members of the Peoples Party, and all who
can act with that palty without regard to
prior party affiliations, are hereby requested
to meet in mass convention to be held in Cap
ital Hall, Montpelier, VT, OH Tuesday the
2Sth day of July, 1896, at 1920 A. NJ. for the
purpose of nominating candidates for Gov
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer, Sec
rotary of State, Auditor of Accounts two
Candidates for Congress and four Presiden-
tial Electors.
The hard work of two years ago gained for
us the right TO nominate candidates by con-
vention and have their names printed upon
the official ballot. The wrongs of govern
ment existing then still continue. Silver has
become dross, and the influence which has
gold for its god reigns supreme, and prices OF
farm products are demoralized i'll conse-
quence of currency contraction. The news
| from the west and south foreshadows the
uprising of an outraged people. Our enemies
| are vigilant, alert, and subtitle and are under
mining our liberties, and it becomes us to
| awake to the issues and dangers which are
forced upon
Arrangements have been made for the sale
of round trip tickets at the usual convention
rates for those attending convention, at all
stations in the State, on the following rail
roads: Central Vermont, Montpelier &
Wells River, Boston and Maine system, Rut-
land, Bennington and Rutland, and at Fail
Haven, Hydeville, Castleton, Poultney, West
Pawlet and Rupert ON the Delaware and

CHAPTER Ill.

Although Brant was convinced as
not accept anything from the Boom
pointer influence, and that his inter
view with Susy was fruitless, he knew
that he must temporize. While he did
not believe that his old playmate would
willingly betray himShe was uneasy
when he thought of the vanity and inn
pulsivencss which might compromise
him-or of possible jealousy that
might seek revenge. Yet he had no rea-
son to believe that Susy's nature was
jealous, or that she was likely to have
any cause, but the fact was that the
climax of Miss Faulkncr's temperance
when they were together affected him
more strongly than the real climax of
his interview with Susy-which was her
offer. Once out of the atmosphere of
that house. it struck him. too, that
Miss Faulkner was almost as much of
an alien to it as himself. He wondered
what she had been doing there. Could
it be possible that she was obtaining
Information for the south? But he re-
jected the idea as quickly as it had
occurred to him. Perhaps there could
be no stronger proof of the unconscious
influence the young girl already had
over him.
He remembered the liveries of the
diplomatic carriage that had borne her
away and ascertained without diff
Guilty that her sister had married one
of the foreign ministers. and that she
was the guest in his house. But he was
the more astonished to hear that she
and her sister were considered to be
Confined next Saturday.

After meals you should have simply a feel
ing of comfort and satisfaction. You should
not feel any special indications that digestion
is going on. If you do. you have indigestion,
which means not-digestion. Tins may be the
beginning of many dangerous diseases,
that it is best to take it in hand at once, and
treat it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that Indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digestive materials
in which the sick stomach is wanting. 1t also
tones up and strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy. This is
the rationale of its method of cure, rs the
doctors would say. Sold by druggists, price
10 cents to Sl.00 per bottle.
