"One day last winter lady came to
my drug store and asked for a brand of
cough medicine that 1 did not have In
stock" says Mr.. G. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She
was disappointed and wanted to know
what cough preparation 1 could rec
Ommend. I said to her that could
freely recommend Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy and that she could
take q bottle Of the remedy and after
giving it fair trial if she did not find
it worth the money to bring back the
bottle and I would refund the price
paid: Ia the course OF day or two
the lady came back in company with
q friend in need of cough medicine
and advised her to buy bottle OF
Chamberlain = Cough Remedy. Icon
slider that very good recommendation

its great popularity and extensive sale
in large measure to the personal rec

Up with the early song birds,
Fresh for the busy day,
Driving the COWS to pasture,
Tossing the new-mown hay.
Running of errands for mother,
Picking the early green's,
Killing the corn and potatoes,
Smelling the peas and beans.
Going to school in the winter,
Learning to read and spell,
Working at home in summer,
Gathering knowledge as we'll.
Growing to useful manhood,
Far from the noisy town;
One of these country lads is often
The first in the worlds renown.

Again it was: "Why don't you play

II am tired of Chopin" I answered,

danger reefs made my heart beat un-
pleasantly, and fancied there was q
dawning wonder in his eyes when he
looked at me.
Who knows the recesses Of the soul?
Once he walked, crying wildly. Louise!

his voice that were terrible, and when
he came to himself and saw me he
smiled wsnIy. "A dream" he said.
''Such q dresm-I thought you were
stretching out your hands to me from a
great distance and calling me, and your
face-oh, your face was pale with q
binding woe! And I could not come
to you!"
l shrank away from him, sick and
trembling. Could Louise. away in an
other world. could che, did she know?
And some time l must face herewith
all my guilt. How would she look at
me? And Yates-tor the first time
since my living lie began l remembered
that sometime. somewhere. Yates must
know. and he wound look at me-
/ knew every line, every shadow. on
the face that some day must confront,
and it poisoned and blighted my hap.
piness and killed my heart. and slowly
began to kill me. A barrier fell be-
tween Yates and me. / Stunned him,
shuddering. and he was afraid of me;
yee. afraid.
1t was one evening in the dusk. He
came and put bis hands on my should
srs. His voice was hollow and bis eyes
we're sombre and burning. Louise"
he said. huskily. "what is it, what is
this nameless thing, that has come be-

frightens me. I,earn for you, and I

He staggered, strong man that he

his bewildered gaze still upon me. I do
not know how my face looked. 1 only

upon my heart and lungs, and my brain
was on fire with hysteria. Any relief
was better, any crash, any upheavsl,
