bridge gang working near Littleport
was taken suddenly i'll Thursday
night with cramps and kind Of
cholera. His case was so severe that
he had to have the members of the

was called and consulted. He told
them he had medicine in the form
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

would help him out and accordingly
several doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to

church congregation some evening to
have such an appearing figure, clad as
she was, rise and utter the prayer she
did. 1t would startle them, think"
II do not think Mrs. Leach would
enter one of your city churches" re-
sponded Telly, land certainly not clad
as she has to be. She has little pride
even If she Is poor"
ooh, meant no reflection, only the
scene was so impressive I wondered
how it would affect a fashionable
church gathering. think it would do
them good to listen to real sincere
prayer that came from some ones
heart and was not manufactured for
the occasion. Those who wear fine
silks and broadcloth and cit IN cush-
Toned pews seldom hear such a prayer
as she uttered that night" :.
Then as Telly made no response he
sat in silence a few moments mentally
contrasting the girl with those he had
met in Boston.
And what contrast!
This girl clad in gray dress severe
in its simplicity and so Ill fitting that it
really detracted from the beautiful out
lines Of her form. Her luxuriant tress-
es We're braided and coiled low on the
back Of her head, and at her throat
tiny bow of blue. Not an ornament Of
any nature, not even ring, only the
crown of her sunny hair, two little
rose leaves in her cheeks and the
queenlike majesty Of throat and shout
ders and bust, so classic that not one
her their possession.
And what contrast In speech. ex-
preston and ways-timid to the verge
Of bashfulness, utterly unaffected and
yet sincere, tender and thoughtful in
each and every utterance, beautiful
flower grown to perfection among the
rocks Of this seldom visited island, I'M
trained by conventionality and unsul-
He'd by the world! 81 wonder how she
would act If suddenly dropped into the
Nasons' home, or what would Alice
think Of her" Then, as he noted the
sad little droop Of her exquisite lips,
and as she, wondering at his silence,
turned her pleading eyes toward him,
there came into his heart In an instant
a feeling that, despite her timidity and
her lack Of worldly wisdom, he would
value her love and confidence far
above any woman's he had ever met.
Miss Terry" he said gently, do you
know fancy that living here, as you
have all your life, within sound Of the
sad sea waves, has woven little of
their melancholy into your nature and
little Of their pathos into your eyes.
l thought SO the first time I saw you,
and the more see of you the more 1
think it Is So"
The ocean does sound sad to me-"
she said, land at times it makes me
feel blue. Then I am SO much alone
and have no one In whom to confide
my feelings. Mother would not un-
derstand me. and u father thought I
wasn't happy it would make him mis-

eyes full upon her Questtoner, she add.

S~1HH nalcyOn DAYS OF autumn
had come, whdh one day Al
a. M bert packed valise and
boarded the early morning
train for Maine. An insidious longing
to see the girl that had been in his
thoughts for four months had come to
him, and week by week increased until
1t had overcome business demands.
Then he had little good news from
Stockholm, which, as he said to him
self, would serve as an excuse. He
had tcid Frank what his GRAND was
to Uncle Terry, and to say to any that
called that he would return In two
days. OF his reception by Telly he was
a good deal in doubt. She had written
to him in reply to his letters, but be-
tween each Of the simple, unaffected
lines all he could read was an under
tone Of sadness. That, with vivid
recollection Of what Uncle Terry had
disclosed. led him to believe there was
some burden on her mind.
When he grasped Uncle Terry's hand
at the boat landing that old mans face
fairly beamed.
'.I'm right glad ter see ye," he said,
s'an' so IL the folks be. Thar amt

7 thought I'd run down and stay

''In q way, yes" replied Albert.

pressing surprise that Frye should
have given up the case after they had
paid him over $500, and ask that file

Washington before they submit a

"They must "a got skeery O. lawyers

Naval Torpedoes.

Torpedoes for the destruction of yes
sells were first used in the spring Of
1861 by the Confederates in the James
river. In 1865 the secretary Of the
navy reported that more ships had
been lost by torpedoing than from all
other causes. General Rains, chief Of
the Confederate torpedo service, put
the number at fifty-eight, a greater
number than has been destroyed in all
the wars since.
