Darling" he said. as he placed his
arm around her waist and drew her
tenderly to his breast, why those
pearly tears? Is the home that have
brought you to less magnificent than
you expected?"
"Oh, n-no." she sobbed. ut is
g-grander than / dared to h-hope.
Have you found since our mar
riage that am less exalted than you
had supposed me to be?"
"Oh, Fired, you are th-thousand
times more exalt.t-ted than | thought
you to b-be."
STOPPING down. he kissed away two
large tears that were trembling upon
her long. graceful lashes and asked:
Has it grieved you to be taken
from your parents and the scenes OF
your childhood, little one?"

BLACK HAWK WAR RECALLED.
Watsrworks Reservoir on the sits Of
an Old Fort.

A Chicago Chronicle correspondent
at Bloomington. Illinois, says: The
building of reservoir for the new
waterworks system as Elizabeth re-
calls an interesting incident of the
Blackhawk war. The reservoir will
stand on the site of fort that Black
Hawk sought to capture on the after
noon of August 2. 1892. In the fort
were twenty-five men. women and chill
dren. while the warrior was supported
by at least $50 braves.
Tradition states that it was the
heroic act of the women that enabled
the little band to hold out success
fully against apparently overwhelm-
ing odds. Elizabeth Winters Elizabeth
Armstrong. Rebecca Hit and Eliza
beth Van Volkenburg were melting
lead into bullets when the supply of
lead became exhausted. Two of these
women, under cover of darkness, stole
from the fort and procured pig of lead
from an outlying shed. This deed of
heroism proved successful and Black
Hawk was repulsed. the only loss of
the inmates of the fort being one man
who was killed.

Then he had an inspiration.
All the water which came to the
circus grounds was brought through
a wooden tunnel from far up the hill.
Its source was an old spring, seldom

The OId-Time Qui|tin Bee

Yes, twas a grand reception; everything
in splendid style;
OF costly fruits and flowers. oh, most

The aristocracy was there all gorgeous
ly arrayed,
While music hid behind some palms jest
played, and played, and played.
Iucindy-she's my wife-was decked In
garments rich and rare.
With fiounces and with furbelows and
flowers in her hair;
And, somehow | looked at her. 1t all

That night when first | met her at an
old-time quiltin' bee
How mem'ry keeps a-goin back to those

Sometimes l quite forget the part of life

Between the years when all | owned was
boyish hope and health.
And later times that brought me more
of worriment and wealth.
And at that big reception, in the midst

Her face though old and wrinkled. was

The one whose smile of friendship has
been light and life to me.

Speaking of troubles in a drug
store" said the clerk behind the pre-
scription counter, Il had brand new
experience recently that would have
landed me in scrape If it handn't
been for little presence of mind.
"One of our women customers had
a little boy who had been i'll for some
time and for whom we prepared medi-
cines whenever the physician left his
prescription. The ingredients ordered
were harmless enough. and certainly
contained nothing to cause death by
poisoning. But one afternoon as the
store was chock full of customers the
mother, greatly excited and almost be-
side herself burst into the place, and
in high shrill voice broke into hy-
sterics and accused me of having poi
soned her boy.
Between sobs we could understand
that the woman had given the young
ster the medicine and the poor little
fellow had turned his face to the wall.
and half hour later was found dead.
The unfortunate woman declared
some acute poison had been put into
the medicine by mistake and that she
would have me arrested for murder.
For a time 1t was impossible to
reason with her, but little by little
she began to come around under the
effect of stimulants and then she re-
peated her story.
Madam / said. that medicine
was absolutely harmless. The pre-
scription called for no drug that is
poisonous, and / put it up myself and

What happy days are those when all
