She Wanted 4saunsh. ,,

The fashionable physician had told
his patient what he thought was nee
essary to restore her to complete
health after the wear and tear of
hard social season. She was to take
a brief southern trip, give up all So
cial pleasures for awhile and diet with
moderate prudence.
She looked thoughtful and took in all
his advice. After he had told her what
to eat and what to avoid she spoke for
the first time.
"And how about squash, doctor?" she
asked.
"squash?" he repeated, with tone
of surprise in his voice. "Of course,
you may eat it if you want to. Ididn't
suppose you cared for it."
EAT it?" she repeated, in disgust.
81 don't want to eat it, but want to
play it,"
The physician flushed slightly, re-
marked that he had SO little time for
sport that he could not keep up with
all the new games, and told her to play
it all she wanted ton. Y. Sun.

SPEAKER HENDERsoN's ACT.
Comments of the Republican Press,
ON His DcclinatiOn of Month";
alton for Congress,

1t is to be regretted from national
standpoint that MIR. Henderson,has not
found it possible to agree with his con-
stituents and has preferred to refuse
the nomination rendered him-Chii-
cago Record-Herald.
There is one thing for the. adminis-
tration leaders to do in Iowa. Thew
ought to insist on Henderson being a
candidate, and ought to see that he, is
elected. He occupies exactly the plat
form that they have decided or, and
they must make fight for it while it
is opposed in so bold fashion within
the party. 1t is only doing Justice
to Henderson and sticking to their
principles.-Boston Record.
Those men in the republican party
who are unwilling to permit the dem-
ocrats and the free traders to do their
thinking for them and all other reppb-
licans no doubt will approve of the in
dependence of Gen. Henderson, but
they will deplore his folly. Gen. Hen
derson acted with rashness and unwis-
dom. The fighting line is the place
for the man who as soldier boy lost
his leg in battle and FASTENED to re-
| enlist as soon as ha had recovered
from his njury.-Cleveland Leader.
One would not speak of Gen. Hen
dcrson except in terms OF high praise.
But his best friends must be Profound
| ly grieved by his action. If it sug-
gcsts Mr. Reeds, it also suggests diff
| ference. Mr.. Reed retired when no
campaign was in progress. Gen. Hem
! derson retired in the face of the en-
envy. The bugles are sounding and the
| drums are rolling and everybody is
| falling in. But Gen. Henderson sheaths
his sword. He is a brave man, and if
the soldierly spirit had dominated him
at the moment he would not have taken

CHAPTER XVII.

For week after Guy had taken
refuge at Sile Whittaker's nothing of
moment happened. The doctor came
regularly and Mr.. Vlandingham occa-
sionally came with him. The squire
was at all times his jovial self, al
though Guy fancied that an undercur-
rent of restraint permeated his good
nature, at times. During those seven
days the young man neither saw nor
heard anything of Miss Betty. Her ia
Their avoided mention of her-studious-
ly, as Guy imagined-and pride re-
strained the inquiries which Guy often
had at the end of his tongue.
This reticence and seeming neglect
hurt him, for he yearned to set Miss
Betty right concerning that fateful
meeting on the shore of Lake Eliza
beth. While Guy fretted much over
the devious course his true love was
taking, yet this did not interfere with
his rapid improvement.
The following Saturday found him
able to sit up and walk with cane
about the house and out of doors,
where Whitaker always had COM
Portable chair ready in the shade of
the house. Barney was gone, by this
time, and Whitaker himself was at
tending to the wants of his guest.
On this particular Saturday two in
cidents occurred which effectually re-
lieved the tedium of Guys con
valescence and took his brooding
thoughts from Miss Betty.
The first of these incidents had to
do with Abe Landy, of Amityviile. Mr.
Landy was cousin of Sile Whitaker
and drove over regularly once week
to argue the political question.
Mr.. Landy was ford man with q
fringe of carroty whiskers about his
plump face. Guy and Whitaker were
seated out of doors when he drove
along in his two-wheeled cart.
"Howdy, sile?" said Mr.. Landy.
Same to you, Abe" answered Whit
taker.
Game over to see if you weren'1
about ready to live on the other side
of the farm, Sile."
eff that's all you came for dom
stop; just keep movin'."
mo, sir" said Landy, jumping dowl
and tying his horse. 81 think to,
much of you, Sile, to abandon you t.
your foolishness."
Landy came forward, was intro
duced to Guy and another chair wa
brought from the house. In vain die
Whitaker seek to divert the converse
ton to the weather, the crops, the do
ings of the territorial Legislature, o.
what not; Landy always swerved bacl
to the county question.
"The work I've laid out for myself,
observed Landy, sis winnin' you owe
to vote for Harmony. Election day i
comm, Sile; and | don't want you t,
throw away your vote"
"Youre the worst man / ever see t,
stick and hang" returned Whitaker
petulantly. "If I'm going to thro>
away my vote by casting it for Con
cord, what do you care?''
81 don't want to see you do thin

asked, hating beside the bed and look
ing down at him.
81 shall do well enough, Miss Wand
ingham, thank you," answered Guy.
II hope so," she said, formally, after
bending her blue eyes on him for ii
space. Then she turned to her father
and his companion, who were just en-
tering. "Mr. Herbert says he thinks
he will get along all right, father" she
added.
"Glad to hear that" responded Mr..
Vlandingham, heartily. Stepping up
to the bed he reached down and
pressed Guys hand. '1'm sorry, con-
foundedly sorry, this has happened,
Herbert" he went on. "Our people
were getting carried away but guess
this little incident will bring them up
with round turn. Too bad, though,
that you had to be the victim"
Vlandingham addressed himself to
the man who had entered the room
with him. "Dr. Larkin, this is Mr..
Herbert. Please tell us what you
think of his wound"
If one might judge from the way he
went about his work, DR.. Larkin knew
his business thoroughly.
you're worth a dozen dead men, Mr.
Herbert" smiled the doctor, turning
away to open his medicine case anc
draw out some lint and bandages anc
polished probe. "You'll have to lie
still for few days and take life quiet
ly for some time after you get up ant
around" He laid the lint and ban
dages to one side and drew chair
close to the bedside. "I'm going to
hurt you now" he resumed, leaning
over. 81 know exactly where that bull
let is and it's got to come out, you
know"
GO ahead" said Guy.
The doctor event ahead with a ven.
geance. His brightprobe sank into the
wound, the blood flowed afresh and
Guy stiffened out as he lay, ground his
teeth together and clutched the side of
the bed with his fingers. Miss Betty
voiced little cry and left the room.
In little time the doctor raised up
with his ensanguined instrument in
his hand and dropped the bullet on a
table that had been placed at his ell
bow.
Good for you, HERBERT" he ex-
claimed. "That is about as painful a
thing as a doctor can do for man.
"He never groaned once,' muir
INJURED the admiring Barney, who had
come in with Silas Whitaker.
You're all right, Mr.. Herbert"
averred Whitaker. 81 couldn't have
stood it better myself
The wound was then dressed, and
Guy, thankful to have the ordeal over,
released his tense muscles and fell
back, white, trembling and numb with
the shock.
you're a Concord man with Har-
mony grit, Herbert" smiled Vlanding-
ham.
His daughter reappeared just in
time to hear the words. Coming
near the bed, she pushed her hands
through her fathers arm and direct
ed her blue eyes at Guy. He returned
her gaze steadily.
Did he read sympathy in her look?
And was there nothing else in it but
sympathy? He was no weakling and

never had been. He did not want pity
from anyone, especially from this fair
girl whom beloved! For some time
he had hesitated to acknowledge in
his own heart the depth Of his esteem
for Miss Betty. Their meetings had
been few, and, for the most part, UNI
der stress of peril to one or the other.
And behold, this was Guys first ex
perience with the tender passion! A
first love springs like Minerva from
the head of Zeus; or, better still, like
Aphrodite from the sea. These callow
beginnings of the old, old tale are for
the most part as substantial as a
child's bubble-just about; yet occa-
sionally, be it known, men and women
have ideals and will strike their col
ors the very moment the ideal comes
into their lives. Guy had met his ideal
and had surrendered his heart. He
was not doubtful of himself; if he had
any doubt at all it was of Miss Betty.
All at once he remembered the hap
penings at Lake Elizabeth and of the
sorry plight in which they had left
him in Miss Betty's mind. When he
began to talk with the view of leading
up to an explanation, he was frowned
down by the doctor.
Don't CONVERSE" interrupted the
medical gentleman; don't move,
either. Simply lie as comfortably as
you can and rest. I'll come out and
see you again this evening"

Not exactly; but I've got an under

by Jove," interposed the squire,
"when you're able to come to Willow
view you're going to come, even if I
have to order out the Invincibles.''
Miss Betty turned on her father in
flash.
"The Invincibles have already had
their orders to disband," she ex-
claimed. Haven't they done mischief
enough? From now on shall do my
utmost to conciliate the Concord peo-
pie, and you are to help me, father.
l have plan which we will discuss on
our way back"
The squire cast ha1f-humorous
glance at Guy and bowed humbly.
"Of course, Betty, of course" said
he, and they started out.
Before she had reached the door
Miss Betty halted and faced Guy once
more.
"You will hear from us again, Mr..
Herbert" she observed. Barney will
stay here to help care for you"
"You are very considerate," said
Guy, "but I can manage to struggle
along without Barney"
Nevertheless he stays!" declared
the squire. Good by, my boy, for the
present"
They left then and Miss Betty did
not give the young man a parting
word, backward glance or even a
smile. Guy thought of this gloomily
for naturally he could not know. how
absorbed Miss Betty had become in
the plan she had suddenly evolved and
which she was going to talk over with
her father. This plan had to do with
the policy of reconciliation and with
the release of Col. Keever. The lat
ter, as Miss Betty was planning the
matter, should be freed and presented
with an olive branch for delivery to
the people of Concord.
Guy heard the hoofbeats of the
horses die suddenly away in the dis
tance and he imagined that even so
was Miss Betty passing out of his life
He would lose her and he would lose
the county seat. Before his vision
passed host of migratory structures,
stores and dwellings, mounted upon
broadtired wheels and drawn by in
Vulnerable teams of horses. Col.
Keever was on the roof of the Blizzard
building with spyglass laying the
courses for the long caravan that
bobbed behind. Pettibone and little
Alec drove their own domicile with
the high stopper between the shafts
and, as this home drifted past, the
sheriff winked derisively. One by one
the buildings rolled by, in dreamy re-
view, and the spot where Concord had
been was desolated as by some COM
prehensive cyclone. Guy saw himself,
forlorn and utterly alone, wandering
among his vacant lots, bewailing the
loss of the county seat, and of the
girl he loved, and then
And then merciful oblivion blotted
out the vision and he slept dreamless-
ly and the slumber did him more good
than all the medicines in the world.

In the lighting of hall or coy corner Ian
terms can always be employed with artistic
results, and the lanterns which the shops are
showing just now are decidedly tempting to
the up-to-date woman, whether she is mis-

or one ROOM
Lovely and inexpensive are the lanterns Of
Japanese brass, with simply an open-work
scroll design for the decoration. They can
be used either with candle or an electric
light bulb.
Venetian lanterns of wrought iron, with
amber and ruby glass sides, can he bought,
with chain attached for les than 81. Hang
ing lanterns of brass, set with vari-colored
jewels, add much to the attractiveness of
cozy corner. They come in an assortment of
shapes some big and some small.
Candlesticks now add touch of the pictur-
esque to the home. Highly priced candle
sticks are those of cast brass. They are so
tall that they stand on the floor. Their orna-
mentation consists OF hand chased figures, of
Arabic characters and strengthening birds
and snakes.
In table candlesticks there is no end to the
variety. Among the more expensive are those
of Russian silver. Candlesticks Of Favrile
glass, with its exquisite opalescent colors, are
gay to the eyes.
Much cheaper candlesticks are Of cut crys-
tai, with colored glass blown into the stem.
For example, white cut crystal candlest1ck
will have green glass blown into the stem; its
shade will be of the same tint of green In silk
and Stimulating in form tulip. Other cut
crystal candlesticks have the blown glass pink
and the shade of pink silk in the shape of a
full blown rose. Very inexpensive candle
sticks are of wrought iron with the cup and

china.
