AND KIDNEY CURE.
THREE HAPPY lr,AvELERs.
Waited Patiently for Their Time of Enjoyment to Come, and
 It Came

They are going abroad Miss Eliza, Miss Adeline and Miss Medoral All Hentley is stirred Her citizens have enjoyed foreign travel before wealthy people, young couples on their honey moons, aspiring teachers, students bound for German universities, or to acquire continental languages, or to study art or music. But one expects 1t of the younger generation, and of the moneyed, and of the money makers; one does not expect 1t of Miss Eliza, Miss Adeline and Miss Medora, says Youths Companion
 For 30 years they have been the pill lars of the church, managers of local charities and tranquil owners of the many-gabled house, oldest on the vtl- Iage street. When they were young, they never expected to cross the ocean; nobody did so then, for pleasure. ex- cept the very rich, and-in the case Of single ladies-the madly and reprehen- sibly adventurous. But times have changed and the sisters have received 8 little legacy, and they are really going to sail next week
 They are deeply happy at the pros pect; one feels the happiness even though the unexcited, pleasant voices and the almost apologetic smiles; for at first they are 8 little shy at talking of the great plan: 1t is so tremendous n thing, so audacious, so positively breath-taking that they feel almost as If caught enjoying some sportive pas- time unbefitting their years. But the shyness wears away, and the enthusi- Rsm of their friends fast kindles their own.
 Everybody offers to help. So many people look up diaries and make out itinearies that If the sisters followed them all, their trip would be as endless as that of the Wandering Jew. They have lists of lodgings, and of shops, and of points of view, and of things they must do whatever else they don't, and of things that they mustn't what ever else they do.
 They have to promise to cable as soon as they arrive; and their letters are to pass from hand to hand in pre- arranged order; and they are to collect views for the magic lantern of the Sun. day school, and buy Fra Angelica an gels for the minister's parlor, and pre- pare pressed English wild flowers for the botany class, and gather souvenirs from literary shrines for the Book club. They ask permission to do commissions for folks. it will keep them from being homesick. They will feel themselves in touch with Hentley all the time.
 On the day they said Hent1ey party of a score or more is there to see them of, and no cabin is fuller of flowers than theirs, and no steamer mail more replete with tempting packages and fat letters, one for each day of the vog- age and several over; and nobody's friends finger longer, or wave heartier farewells from the dock.
 As the last scarlet glimmer of Dea- con Smiths bandana fades finally from sight, and the three happy spinsters slip below to put their cabin in order and cry little for pure joy, many strange eyes, friendly already, follow them as they go
 Bless the sweet old dears!" mur- murs one lady of many voyages, in ten- der envy, to her companion. "Isn't 1t beautiful to see people at the age that's beyond dreaming, with their dreams coming true?"
