Barton, n. Oak, May 9th.-Many
cases are being published Of how dis
eases have been cured and lives saved
by DOdd's Kidney Pills, but there is
a family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the
coming on OF diseases and with excel
lent results
Mr.. ". A MOfet says: I'VE have
no very serious illness or complaint
for we always use DOdd's Kidney Pills
the very moment We feel the least
symptom OF sickness and they soon
put US right II We have a touch OF
lame back OF think the kidneys are
not right, we take a few Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms are soon
all gone
My brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. got some DOdd's Kidney
Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago, he has lived
through all the winters and springs
since and is still living DOdd's Kid
pey Pills are a wonderful medicine"

A terraced garden, with q glimpse
Of the sea through arching trees; a
time-WOrn dial marking the sunny
hours Of a summer afternoon; and a
man and a girl in low chairs-these
are things that make for sentiment
But the suggestion made by Edward
was not altogether a sentimental one
I'm wondering" he said, thought
fully, eff you would mind being en-
gagged to me"
Claudia's face expressed nothing
but vague surprise.
"Only for a time, you know" Ed
ward went on with an easy laugh.
''Just for a lark"
Dear me-" said Claudia, weakly,
''and why?r
Well answered Edward, not with
out embarrassment, that's where the
great kindness comes in. I want you
TO agree to play this game with me
without asking me reasons. I have
a most important and sufficient rea-
son, Claudia, but I am not at liberty
to mention it. You would be doing
me a great kindness. It would be a
real help to me-"
How about Amy?" asked Claudia,
who knew all the complications Of
Edwards affairs, and was aware that
he was already secretly engaged to
the girl called Amy.
Amy doesn't mind. She under
stands a joke as well as anyone"
Its q little confusing, you know,
Edward. First, there's Amy, who is
really engaged TO you and pretends
she isn't, and now there's me, who
am not really engaged to you and pre-
tend 1 am! It's so intricate"
Then you viii do it," cried Ed
ward jOyfuIly, inferring success
4 must admit said Claudia, cit
would be fun"
Fun? 1 should think so! It viii
be Just splendid; mystifying every
one, and pleasing the old people, and
all that How they viii glOat over
u.s. It's such a suitable engagement,
eh, Claudia2 They'll say they always
expected it,
So hand in hand they stood, sheep
ish and silent, before Edwards Aunt
Emma and Claudia's Cousin Mary,
who gave one glance at them and
clasped ecstatic hands
How delighted" they said stimuli
taneOusly, how delighted dear Alicia
will be-"
A slight look Of discomfort mixed
with Edwards smiles.
will she?" he cried 4 wonder
VIII"
And Claudia knew instantly that he
was perfectly aware of the cause Of
his Aunt Alicia's pleasure.
The scenes that followed, the arch
ness Of the old ladies, the strOkings
of the cheek and pattings Of the hand,
gave Claudia so much entertainment
that she threw herself into the game
with as keen a zest as Edward could
wish. In after years she expressed
surprise that her complexion had not
suffered permanently from the unre-
hitting bushes of those days. As Ed
ward fOresaw, everyone had expected
the announcement for months. It was
charming, II was suitable, it was in
evitable, exclaimed aunts and uncles
and cousins, and dear Alicia would be
so glad. AS they all laid stress upon
this Claudia became worried by Ed
wards Aunt Alicia. The old lady
herself was i'll, and a personal inter
view with her was not added to Claud-
las entertainments, but letters were
exchanged. The answering of letters
was one Of Claudia's greatest Difficult
