KISSED IN.

can ever have said or done to you
that you should treat me like this?
I have loved you all my life, just as
love you now, but there Is no crime in
that surely? BY writing and asking
you to be my wife. certainly never
meant to insult you, and yet you seem
to think ]. have done you some deadly
wrong to offer you what most men
consider the highest compliment they
can pay to any woman. The idea OF
your talking of my rights here, when,
your aunt is still lying in the house;
10 too cruel, too unkind.: am not an,
interloper, who cheated my friend out
Of her dues; on the contrary, saved
her from all the unpleasantness and

from you."
Dorothy had hidden her face upon
4 the chimney-shelf. Il am very mis-

David Stevenson drew his own con-
illusions from the admission: then af-
ter minute or two of silence, he said,

Fl and now It was Won.

-One of the most active workers in
the cause Of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. r. a.
Passmore Of this place. She lis ~
prominent and very enthusiastic w.
c. T. o. woman, and one who never
loses an opportunity to strike a blow
against the demon Of Intemperance.
Mrs. Passmore has suffered much
bodily pain during the last three
years through Kidney and Bladder
Trouble. At times the pain was all
most unbearable. and the good lady
was very much distressed. She tried
physician after physician, and each
in turn failed to relieve her. let alone
effect cure. Home remedies sug-
gested by anxious friends were ap-
piled. but all to no purpose. At last
some one spoke of Dodd's Kidney
Pills as great remedy for all Kidney
and BLADDER Diseases. and Mrs. Pass
more decided to try them. she did.
and is now we'll woman. She has
given the following statement for pub.
lication: q
At different times in the past three
years, l have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and at
ter trying four Of the best physicians
could hear of, two Of them living in
the state Of New York, I found my
self no better. took any amount OF
home remedies suggested by kind
friends. with little or no relief from
anything. decided to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Less than one box has
done me more good than all the other
treatments combined. / am still using
them, and can say from experience
that they are an excellent remedy for
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. I would
heartily recommend them to all those
suffering from these ills In like man

), This whispered /. conversation took
place in an upper corridor Of girls
boarding school near New York. A
large school, and this year many new
pupils had entered, and, not unnatural
ly, had formed little set of their own.
About five weeks had passed, and the
new girls felt it to be high time for
frolic. Many of them had come from
schools where frolics were looked upon
as an almost heinous crime. and strict
rules and surveillance had made their
lives a burden to them.
1t was about 10 o'clock when ghostly
figures began to slip through the dark
halls. Lights had been extinguished
at $3.50 and all was now silent.
Miss Burd, the principal. was in her
room in remote part Of the house,
and most Sof the other teachers had
rooms in the adjoining building. The
laundry in this house was never used,
and stout blinds shut out-and in.

mystery.
