When one considers that Miss
 GannOn's letter is only one of the
 countless hundreds which we
 are continually publishing in the news
 papers of this country, the great virtue
 of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be
 admitted by all.
 and earnestly at her, with a wistful ness in his face like that with which the children used to look at him wher they wanted him to be more like theil father. He wondered if she remem bered his hesitation, and wondered what she thought about it. He came oftener than before to the house, but said less, and was not like himself. k x *
 In every community there are some people who need to enlarge their sphere of action. Their own affairs are not enough to occupy them and, just as children rush out after band, they prick up their ears and follow ex- citedly whenever procession of events passes within their sight or hearing. They will be spectators if nothing bet ter offers, but they prefer to crowd Fate or Providence out of the lead, So that they can marshal the occurrences in the way they should go. Mrs Gray son was one of these people, and there were not enough of other peoples af- fairs to keep her busy in Pontomac Events seldom entered the village an nals within hailing distance of each other and, since Mrs Grayson's own daughter, Juanita, had broken her en- gagement with Mir Keener and had married Willie de Ferriere, scarcely enough had happened in the neighbor- hood to warrant people in saying, "Have you heard?''
 One day. urged by the necessity of something new to talk about, Mrs Grayson started over to Juanita $ home on the Point to see if Juanita had made her bitter-orange marma- Jade. It was November, and just the time for the utilizing of the bitter or anges, which hung yellow and tempt ing on the trees. The stress of the situation was borne in upon her as she drove along the golden beeches and the green magnoliaS that she reused her old horse into quite an excited trot, and sweeping round a corner, nearly ran upon pedestrian who had not noticed the rattle of her buggy 1 wheels mutfied in the sand.
 It was Charles Schuyler and he scrambled to one side of the road and raised his hat.
 "Why, MT Charlie:" she cried, "did- n't you hear me coming? You must have been lost in thought"
 "Why no, Mrs Grayson, not special. ly; but your buggy doesn't make much noise through this deep road" he an swered. He had gentle deferentia way, and it made him liked by domi. neering persons, before they, discover ed that he could hold his own in spite of it, or by it's aid.
 Mrs Grayson smiled at him. "Oh yes, MT Charlie, you were certainly lost in thought,'' she insisted as if ii were a very naughty thing, but might be excusable in an agreeable young man. "I don't believe you would have heard me if had been ringing an en zine bell. You must get in and ride for fear somebody else runs over you. ,
 MT Charlie lifted his hat again "Why thank you, but Pm only going to Mrs Hollingsworth s,' he said.
 "Oh, then it would hardly pay yol to get in," she admitted, and clucket to her horse, for the Hollingswortl gate was in sight. The old horse lift ed his feet unwillingly out of the sand
 but she refined him to ask if anyon'
 was sick at the Hollingsworth's
 "No, they're all quite well, at leas
 they were" MT Charlie had starte, to say yesterday" but something ir Mrs Grayson's look of interest mad

Mrs Grayson answered and licked the lines eagerly over tn Z horse. Orange marmalade had sue denly lost it's savor, but she wanted t
