Where, oh where is tSe good Eli

Where, oh where" Edith's gay
young voice broke of in the midst OF
its lifting song at the warming finger
from the doorway Before the girl
could ask the meaning of the warning.
the Rev. Elijah Strong appeared in
the doorway behind Mrs. Wentworth.
gravely polite. little hooking smile
about his lips, merry twinkle in his
dark gray eyes.
Here | am Miss Edith. am glad
you find me good.
Edith had been in the habit of hum
ming this song OF her childhood ever
since she had known the Rev. Elijah
Strong, partly in ridicule of the old
fashioned name. partly TO tease her
mother. Now, caught at her nonsense,
abe blushed scarlet.
"Oh, then, he hasn't gone up in a
chariot of fire she flashed back
saucily, though her cheeks were still
aflame.
But he'll need the ravens to feed
him. If you're not ready for tea soon.
interposed Mrs Wentworth, seating
herself and glancing uneasily from the
flushed face OF her daughter to the
firm, clear-cut features of the young
clergyman. Hurry, dearie, and brush
your hair. whispered Mrs Went
worth, while she, excusing herself to
her guest, went out To attend to their
tea
When Edith came into the room
again in a dainty white muslin. her
cheeks flushed, her eyes bright she
found Mr. Strong alone in the room.
You are not sorry that begged
your mother to invite me to stay To
tea, are you, Miss Edith" he asked
gaily, and yet little wistfully.
"Oh! that's why momsie has com

Pardon me. again. Miss Went
worth, if seem to be obtrusive. But
I must see you. if only for ten min

Before Edith could answer, Mrs.
Wentworth announced that tea was
awaiting them on the shaded veran-
da. All through tea that must rank
led in the girls mind. The steady,
compelling gaze of the gray eyes
across the table confused her. An un-
easy feeling came over her as she
mentally contrasted Dicks easy good
nature and weak will with Mr..
Strongs firmness OF character.

A Boys Veto y.

Crossroads, Tenn. Sept. l4th. % :
ira Young, the ten-year-old oon OF Les
ter Young OF this place, il a bright
boy, and one who is very well liked
by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered
great deal with a form OF Kidney Trou-
Bile which was very annoying. AMI
which made him miserable all the
time. He had to get up three or four
times every night, almost all his life
His father heard OF a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he is now completely cured OF
the old trouble. He says
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief. and now | can sleep all
night without having to get up We
will alwa. praice Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should oe promptly
corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a
safe and sure remedy for all such de-
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made well boy OF him
self by using Dodd's Kidney Pills. and
aly one may do the same by the same
means.
Parents should see to ii that their
children are given fair chance in
life and there is nothing that can
undermine the health OF a growing
child as much as Kidney and Urinary
arrangements.

Mr.. WHISTLER WAS lNsuLTep.
Offer of Ten Pounds for a Picture
Aroused His Wrath.

Aroused His Wrath.
The studios in and around London
are just now filled with gossip about
the late distinguished artist, James
Mcneil Whistler. One is told of a
female model to whom Mr. Whistler
owed some Is shillings for sittings.
She was Philistine Of the Philis-
tines, who knew nothing of her pa
irons fame and was in no way i'm
pressed with his work. One day she
told another artist that she had been
sitting to a little Frenchman called
Whistler who jumped about his studio
and was always complaining that peo-
pie were swindling him and that he
was making very little money. The
artist suggested that if she could get
any piece of painting out of Whistler's
studio he would give her e10 for It.
Although skeptical, the model decided
10 tell her little Frenchman" of this
too generous offer and selected one OF
the biggest and finest works in the
studio. What did he say?" asked the
artist who had made the offer when
the model appeared in a state OF great
excitement. and, looking almost as
if she had come second best out OF
scrimmage. He said E10-good
heavens c 10!' and he got SO mad
well, that's how | came in here like
this"
