They were on a tandem, and a
straight, smocth road stretched away
before them through the park for a mile
or more. There was darkness all
about, thick. impenetrable darkness,
which lay heavy among the trees, and
betrayed the fact that the authorities
had neglected the electric lights, count
ing on Il moon that had failed to keep
her engagements.
:, But they did not mind the darkness.
In.fact, they rather sought out the more
shadowy portions. For there is some
thing about tandem, if it steers easi-
", which softens the iron-bound laws
of custom. The riders are so close to-

A Final Remedy.

A young lady once called on one of
Louisville's most prominent homoeo-
pathic physicians, and after discoursiDg
on all the topics of interest of the day,
settled down to tell her ailments. Among
other things, she said that she was
greatly annoyed with sinking feel
ing. The physician prepared a little
bottle of pills and gave them to her,
with minute directions as to how they
should be taken. The woman again
began to talk, and after many vain eff
forts to get her out, she started for the
door. She had just opened it, when
she turned and said: ooh, doctor, what
shall do if these pills do not cure me?"
''Take the cork" he retorted; "they

pose Of gaining access to the timber
growing thereon for shlngle mill pur-

further comment hope you will fully
investigate the facts, with your usual
fairness and impartislty. Gates he'd
about the hogs and has imposed upon
you H. II. HAGAN.
