Big Price for a Broken Heart.

promise case to pay the competent sum
of $54, 333. SO to the afflicted fair one.
Though it is a pretty high estimate OF
blighted affection, there is another esti-
mate which, if not in dollars and cents
exactly as high, yet in general considera-
ton of excellence reaches as lofty an
altitude. This is the estimate OF the
people as to the efficacy of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as a remedy for consti-
patton. The action of this gentle but
effective laxative is never accompanied
by the gripping so marked in the opera
ton of most cathartics. 1t is an incom-

Presently there was no one left in
.sight and the battlefield was all her
own
It was high noon, as she knew by the
%northward slanting shadows Of the elder
bushes that were tracing a delicate pat
tern of lace against the crumbling brick
wall behind her. On the knoll that had
just swallowed up Adrien's fast moving
figure the torch of a crimsoning sweet
gum fared brightly among the rusty
green Of the pecans and the vivid YER
dure Of the magnolias; a soft rustling in
the oak trees which disputed territory
with the pines and the laurea mundis
in the graveyard was all the sound she
heard. In the cool sustaining currents
Of the upper air some pigeons were cir
cling ambitiously. The sumach was
kindling its autumn fires in the fence

plumage with dandified fa%stidiousness
as he swayed easily among the russell
tassels Of the dead corn. A serene still

her brown head and pointed alert ears,
while a look Of animated interest came
into her soft eyes. The musical note
Of a hound in pursuit broke in upon
nature 8 noteless madrigal, floated near-
or and died away, quenched in the
soundless distance.
Liza put out a hand and laid it caress-
ingly on the silken head at her feet.
"Poor beastie! 1t has been a day Of
scourging to us both-stripes for thee,
a haircloth shirt for me-"
Things had been especially ~exasperat-
ing that morning. The flies had been
o than ever populous about the open
mouth of the molasses jug which form
ed the central ornament of the red ta-
BILE cover three times a day. Charlie had
appeared at the breakfast table with an
unkempt look, laughing nervously over
the admission that he Couldn't find his
comb and brush nowheres. He reckoned
"Duke'd done made way with 'em. Her
father, fresh from the humane but I'M

had c~omposedly taken position behind
the dish of fried chicken without any
intermediate ablutions. Her mother had

didn't like her to come to the table
without somethin white about her

Only Seth had vigorously adhered to
the new order of things and taken his
place at table, red in the face from re-
cent conflict with the coarse roller
towel, his waveless, sandy hair ire
~proachably smooth and his stalwart
arms painfully compressed into the coat
which, before Liza's advent, had been
conscientiously reserved for state occa-
sions.
As for Strong, he was only all occa-
sional visitor how, who came more and
more rarely to the overseer's house.
He had "cut loose" Charlie called it.
Liza's fastidious taste was sorely out
ragged at home scores of times each day.

hair and beard that had helped to nerve
her arm for that death dealing blow.

Of the buggy, and a forlornly helpless
one he had been while death seemed

Killing Time.

Tempus fugit was never spoken

the hours are laden and the men
go crazy for want of something to
do.
There was prisoner in the Bas-
tile during the minority of Louis
XIV who had been sent there by
Cardinal Mazarin for some effense
connected with the ingathering of
the revenue. He had little hopes
of release, and had no high or holy
thoughts to keep him company.
Men have found even prison toler-
able when they have nursed,within
their bosoms some sacred cause.
But having only the companionship
of his own miserable moods, this
man was obliged to seek distrac,
tion somewhere. He found it by
bribing his jailer co supply him
with a thousand pins. Every
morning he scattered these broad.
cast over the floor of his room, and
spent the rest of the day collecting
them and searching for those that
had fallen into crannies.
A similar story is told Of a pris.
oncr who dried the straws of his
musty bed one by one, at the rate
Of one a day, by exposing it to the
heat of thin ray of sunlight which
came through a crack in the roof.
He followed this ray with hls straw
as it travelled acrossed the flag.

When, at last, after many years, he
was quite out Of employment, and
almost welcomed an accident which
split his pitcher over his mattress
and compelled him to begin all
over again.-Ex.
