"No rent again this month! This is
the third time it has happened within
the half year. I'll 60 there myself and
get the money, or I'll know the reason
why"
Matthew Dcane was in particularly
bad humor this raw December morning.
Everything had gone wrong. Stocks
had fallen when they ought to have
risen, his clerk had tipped over the ink
stand on his special and peculiar heap
of paper, the fire obstinately refused to
burn in the grate-in short, nothing
went right, and Mr.. Deanc was conse-
quently and correspondingly cross.
"Jenkins!''
"Yes, SIR"
"Go to the Widow Clarkson and tell
her | shall be there in half an hour and
expect conidently-mind jenkins, con-
fidently-to receive that rent money,
or else shall myself be obliged to re-
sort to extreme measures. 1ou un-
derstand, Jenkins?"
"Ccrtainly, sir"
''Then don't stand there staring like
an idiot snarlel Mr.. Deane in sud-
den burst of irritation, and jenkins
l;o, vol lilo shot
just half an hour aftcrward Mat
thew Deane brushed the brown hair
just sprinkled with gray from his
square yet not unkindly brow. Put
ting on his fur-lined overcoat, he walked
forth into the chilly winter air, fully
determined, fguratively, to annihilate
the defaulting Widow Ciarkson.
1t was a dwarfish little red brick
house, which appeared originally to
have aspired by circumstances, had
settled down into a story and half,
but the windows shone like Brazilian
pebbles, and the doorstep were worn
by much securing. Neither of these
circumstances, however, did Mr.. Deane
remark as he pulled the glittesing brass
doorknob and strobe into Mrs. Clark
sons neat parlor.
There was small fire very small,
as if every lump Of anthracite was
boarded in the stove-and at table,
with writing implements before her,
sat young lady whom Mr.. Deane at
once recognized as Mrs Clarkson's s
niece, Miss Olive Mellen. She was
not disagreeable to look upon, though
you would never have thought of class
ing her among the beauties, with shin
ming black hair, blue, long lashed eyes
and a very pretty l"outh hiding teeth
like rice kernels, so white were they.
Miss Mellen rose with polite nod,
which was grinly reciprocated by Mr..
Deane.
81 have called to see your aunt, Miss
Mellen.'
IL know it, sir, but as am aware Of
her timid temperament | sent hor
away. prefer to deal with you my
self"
Mr.. Deane started. The cool autac-
ity of this damsel in gray, with scarlet
ribbons in her hair, rather astonishcd
him.
"I-er-surpose the money-er-is
ready"
NO, sir; it is not"
"Then, Miss Olive-pardon mel
must speak plainly, 1 shall send an
officer here this afternoon to put a val
uation on the furniture, and"
"You will do nothing of the kind,
sir!''
Olives cheeks had REDEEMED, and her
eyes flashed portentously. Mr.. Deane

MARCH AND THE LION.
SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE OLD SAW.

The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often prove false, but
there is another and better one which
is literally true. When March comes
in and finds YOU taking Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to purify, enrich and vitalize
your blood, you expect, when it goes
out, that it will leave you free from
that tired feeling and with none of the
boils, pimples and eruptions which
manifest themselves because of impure
blool in the spring. Ifyou have not
already begun taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla for your spring medicine, we adj
wise you to begin to-day. We assure
you it will make you feel better all
through the coming summer.

ANDREWS OPERA COMPANY.

Standard Opera interpreted by a high class
company is a treat which our public are rarely
permitted to indulge in within the confines of
their own city yet such is promised us by
Manager Lapoint providing he can secure the
necessary support. He is endeavoring to
arrange with the celebrated ANDREWS
OPERA COMPANY to appear here two
nights and ii he can secure an advance sub,
scripton sale of POO books of tickets each at
$500 per book, their coming is an assured
fact. BY this MEANS he is able to place the
price of seats at a popular figure for Standard
Opera, viz: Sl,00 each for best seats or ID
cents each where the books are purchased. Il
saving by the latter method of % per cent.
and the books are transferable. If he can
succeed with the subscription, and there is no
reason why he should not, the company will
appear here Thursday and Friday evenings,
May 10 and IL, presenting two operas:
Fotow's delightful MARTHA" Bizet'>
Garment.
The Andrews Company consists of 30
people, and its leading members are of we'll
known repute in the field of opera. No
better assurance of their capabilities is needed
than was attested by the successful run they
had in Philadelphia. In the matter of accessor-
les and appropriate costumes they are equipped
most generously and carry their own orc he>tra.
Those who really desire to have this admir-
able organization visit us will oblige Manager
I.apoint by sending their names and the NUM-
Der of books they will wish to secure to Red
Cross Pharmacy the regular reserved seat
sale. Subscribers will have access to the
chart one day in advance of the regular sale.
