same identical school together the
best Of chums they were married the
very same day travel in separate d.
rections later, to be sure and both had
moved TO Maydeld at last to live. Mrs.
Montague recalled every detail Of her,
order for that fatal Easter bonnet; ex
actly that delicate shade Of yellow, and
what the trimmings were and every
thing. Then the changes she had or
dered; tho exasperating slowness and
stupidity OF Miss lie Fevre; the crazed
despair, when, that Saturday night she
returned SO late from calling with
Helen, to find that her bonnet had not
yet arrived. And then that awful time
on Easter morning, before the girl came
weakly up the steps and handed in
the wrong bonnet--a bonnet she had
never seen before-a horrid nightmare
of a thing in lavender and pink, which
she had to wear or stay at home-new
blue silk and all. ~
She wouldn't have believed that Helen
could have worn her own very bonnet
and with yelling over the yellow at that
and then be so hateful. She won

to each other again. No, she didn't be-
lieve they would; she didn't believe that
Helen was half so ready to forget and
forgive as she. Well, she would just
let Jack get the bonnet in the city this
year, and let the people of Mayfeld stare
if they wished.
So at length she arose and went to her
desk to write to her grown-up "boy."
In the course of time, and several days
before Easter, the bonnet from the
great metropolis arrived along with
note from Jack deploring the fact that
he could not have carried it home in
person. It was really jewel, a dainty
creation of airy, graceful feathers on a
moss-green frame and subdued with
violets that were poised with an ex-
quisite grace, where they nodded and
smiled and seemed to be tossing the
sweetest of perfume kisses to all who
were gracious enough to behold.
But Easter morning! All, how it
brightly outjeweled all others of the
year. The sun shone warmly from a
fawless sky of turquoise hue; the trees
wore freshest, fairest emerald leaves, or
pearl and ruby blossoms; the grass was
asparkle with diamond dew, and the
birds were chorusing in anthems as
clear and sweet as the crystal tinkle,
tinlkle rung from pebbles by the brook.

Charleston, w. Va, March 9, 1898.
Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen: l can recommend your prep
aration, Pe-ru-na, as tonic. Its reputation
as cure for catarrh is excellent, it having
been used by number of people known to
me with the very best results. Very truly,
G.. w. ATKINSON.
Pe-ru-na enjoys a national reputation as
catarrh remedy. It is the only systematic
catarrh remedy yet devised. A thorough
course of Pe-ru-na eradicates catarrh from
the system. Its cures are permanent. 1t
thoroughly cures very old cases of chronic
catarrh that have resisted all other treat
ment: 1t has cured cases of twenty-five
years standing. People afflicted with ca
tarrh should begin a course of Pe.ru-na at
once. The spring-time is the best season for
this purpose. The rigors of winter have
passed with it's chilling blast and freezing
gales; The blizzard is gone and in it's place
the balmy zephyrs of spring have come.
A short course Of treatment with Pe-ru-na
now will work wonders. Now is the best
time. No set-backs from fresh colds, no de-
lays from unventiated rooms. People of
high and low station recommend Pe-ru-na.
North, South, East and West use it as the
supreme catarrh remedy of this generation.
Everybody should have copy Of DR.. Hart
mans latest books on chronic catarrh. Sent

Both in confusion at last were gladto

wondering with might and main how,
this singular duplication had been made
possible. zsys 5..ss 81. .i= .@5.
Mrs. Kapulette was guilty Of stealing

Mrs. Montague was timidly attempting
a similar sortie. The chances met and
fell again to the books. The service
commenced, but nothing was heard or
observed, except in dim, uncertain,
mechanical manner, by the two. They
we're quite enough engrossed with at
tempts to flank the enemy.
In the midst of the battle of chances,
which had gone so far that each was
now feeling singularly humorous and
amused, their gaze was focused on a
striking pair of tall young people Gid
ing silently by and up the aisle side by
side. g. @.. FL. ~,
They were Julia Kapulettc, the daugh-
ter of Helen, and John Henry Monta-
que, the son of Fanny. And they sat in
a pew together and sang from a single
book.
Now began, in the breasts of two in
dulgent and admiring mothers, a con-
fl'ct of emotions and struggle so in
tense, that music, sermon, songs and
prayers, and all the people but them
selves, were merged in shadowy

Mr. and Mrs. Montague not only were
in harmony with all the scene, but were
really part and parcel of it, as, with
faces gay with smiles, they slowly
walked the way to church. The bells
had never sounded half so musical and
liquid bright-that is, except on one &C.
casion, to which, indeed, Mr.. Montague
was moved now to allude.
Just such morning as this" said
he, with a buoyancy in his voice, that
we went to the chapel-so many, and
yet it seems so very few years ago.
What day that was! And what a lot
of sunshine we have had ever since!"
"Oh, yes! And didn't the girls look
pretty-and Helen-Mrs.-Mrs. Kapu-
Letter"
I'D call her wouldn't you,
Fanny-to-day? Wasn't it odd that
Helen should have been the one to in
troduce us? What lively pair you
used to make-you two!"
A glow had come in the cheek of Mrs.
Montague and an extra brightness in
her eyes. She felt yearning toward
the girl who had been her chum-the
tall young lady who had found her mate
the matronly woman whom long she
had loved.
Il wish I could see the way" she
unused aloud; "but know she wouldn't
meet
What way, my dear?'' said her hus-
band, when she paused. "What do you
~ l>,A
meet what?'' .~.
II was just thinking what a lovely
bonnet that is on that lady ahead!" She
chatted along advantageous well she
might, having really the prettiest bon
net on parade-but her undercurrent Of
thought was still of Helen, though she
parried the questions of her husband
with the lightest digressions.,
Up the steps of the miniature ca
thedral the brilliant throng of Mayfield
was swarming, faces turned-amid the
gayety of dancing plumes and blooms
that courtesied from bonnet to bonnet
to note what their neighbors had
found or created to grace the happy oc-
casion. %t@5 !t-s.. IT,.
Within, as Mr.. and Mrs. Montague
walked calmly up the aisle, the organ
was pealing exultantly, pouring forth
it's. thousand voices of praise in an ex-
uberant and swelling river of harmony,
as if itself were the fountain of melo-
dies divine. Nj JILL
They. took their seats, and reached,
like children, each for the hand Of the
other, to exchange 9 gentle pressure.
No sooner had Mrs. Montague com
menced a rapid survey Of the congrega-
tionin which her glance went fitting
from one exotic to another, like but
terAy in clover han she found herself,
abruptly, looking in the face and at the
bonnet Of Mrs. Kapulet ute. And Helen
IN return was looking at her and hers,
and the gaze Of each was sudd denly held,
transfixed.

dren" would certainly be to do no JUS
tice at all to that other sense in wom-
ankind, which is duly acknowledged
under the explanation that I'LL possess
an intuitive faculty of finding things
out"
Slowly, very slowly, the face Of Mrs.
Montague came squarely around, I'M
abashed, un-everything but quizzical.
Likewise the countenance of Mrs. Kap-
ulette, innocent of everything but dumb
though eloquent inquiry, turned DELHI
erately about to that of her friend.
Their glances met without CULVER;
they scanned each others expression
for light on the mystery; then, playing
through the eyes of each, came CLEANS
of old-time merriment and sparks Of
mischief, and over the face of each
flush of color from the heart. In Sec
ond they were smiling in spite of all
they could do, while the blossoms on
their bonnets insisted on holding and
bobbing across the space intervening
in way that was nothing short of the
veriest fellowship and sweet familiar
ity.
For Helen and Fanny the Easter
service was dream of music, smiling
faces and weddings of the past and the
future, but the whole was far too long.
They would fain awake and span the
gulf between-and yet were vaguely in
doubt to think of what they would say.
When at last, to the peals of a glori-
Gus postludium, the congregation
turned to move to the door in calm pro-
cession, young Jack and the blushing
Julia came tripping down the aisle in
time to take their respective mothers
by the arm and halt them face to face
in the vestibule.
eve came from town to surprise you
both," said Jack, "and-ahem-to-t
ask you for each other. I want Julia
and Julia wants me, and it was for that
reason we sent the bonnets." ~,..~.
And the bonnets, being twins, resist
ing each other no longer, came nearer
and nearer together, till at length the
nodding violets on either one leaned for
ward and commingled lovingly With
those upon the other.--Ella Stirling

tanned the belief that the disaster was
Al accident. Indeed, the most signifi-
cant occurrence in the proceedings OF
the court of inquiry was the muster OF
the survivors of the Maine, where every
man answered in the negative when
asked if they had any complaint to offer
concerning the management of the bat
tleship. Not one of the survivors be-
lieved that the explosion came from
within the battleship.
It is not to be wondered that ou1
people were impatient; and that many
Of the nervous sanguine people should
wish for prompt and aggressive action
on the part of the president. But it is
to the credit of the people, as a whole,
that they were conservative enough to
await the result of the official inquiry.
They had confidence in their president
and in their republican institutions.
They knew that the ship of state was
guided by man who had shouldered
musket in his young manhood, in de-
Tense of his country, and they knew that
he would not prove recreant to his great
trust.
The people did not at first realize, as
President Cleveland and President Nc
kinley realized, that this peaceful and
Feace-loving country was not prepared
70: war, that our sea coasts were with
out proper Notifications and that our
navy was not on war footing. But
they soon grasped the situation, and
sa w that ample preparations were being
made for the conflict, if it should be-
come inevitable. Therefore they
waited and hoped for the best.
During all these troublous days Pres
ident Mckinley and his constitutional
advisers resorted to every available
means and precedents to avoid the hor-
rors of war. But at no time was there
any trepidation or doubt of the result
Of combat. It was important that our
harbors and waterways leading to our
great cities should be fully prepared for
emergencies, and the work was pushed
along with Napoleonic celebrity. Why,
two months ago, any Spanish man-of-
war could have steamed up the Potomac
river and bombarded our national CAPT.
tai. Men in congress were talking war,
and people throughout the country
were talking war, when, with all of our
vast resources, we would have been at
first helpless.
Goliath, of Gath, could have crushed
David with the weight of his right hand;
but David had the sling with the five
smooth stones from a brook, and his
weapon proved formidable enough to
slay the giant of the Philistine forces.
Thus, the American giant would have
been helpless before the weapons of the
well-equipped Spanish navy, but that
time has passed. Our 10000, 900 people
are now in readiness for emergencies.
For this condition of safety we have to
give credit to the conservative man who
quietly fulfills his oath of office and safe.
