Carlton Cross, another guest at the
house. failed to interest Tom very no.
ticeably, although Miss Latch appeared
to like him. Cross was spending Il few
weeks in town settling up an estate for
which he was counsel. He devoted
his evenings to pretty obvious effort
TO settle the estate of Hiatrimony SO far
as Miss Latch and he We're concerned
Every evening after supper the two
sat OH the broad porch while sun
get gloritied the valley below them and
twilight crept out of the deepest wood,
where it had been lurking and hiding
from the sun all day.
Tom Redding worked i'll one of the
drug stores Of the village. That meant
that his evenings went into the drug
gist's profits till such time as he could
command store of his OWN and hire
some other poor soul to work for him.
That was the eud toward which Tom
was slowly advancing. but for the pres
ent he was forced to pass out Of the
door after supper, walk resolutely
across the porch to where the more IA
vored man aud the girl they both want
ed sat. and with a brave spontaneous
cheerfulness bid them good evening.
On two or three occasions Cross had
spared him this pain by taking the s,.!
off for drive That WAS worse yet
1t is true. Tom had his Sundays. but Il
part of these he always spent with his
mother He felt that Cross was forg
ing ahead Of him in the race. The thing
that dscourag ged Ton most was this.
AS he walked downtown he thought or
the beauty of the long evening that WAS
just beginning. Having thrilled. hisn
self. uin,er the spell OF twilight. he
feared its power Gpon ThiSha Latch.

and every night he passed her on his
way downtown he had some word
commonplace il might he - that NAE
charged with the days repressed affec-
ton. In the general chat of the table,
in the Sunday visits and in many un-
considered greetings Miss Latch was
coming to know Tom far better than
he realized.
One night as Tom crossed the porch
to go to his work Thisbe asked him
lightly:
What would happen to your old
drug store if you should sit here with
us awhile? l believe you don't trust
anybody but yourself to mix the pre-
scriptions. You couldn't sit still g

HOME DECORATIONS.
Consult Specialists il You Have NO

tuition and a general artistic sense OF
the fitness Of things to engineer the IN
terror decorating Of a home. Compara'

that display good taste in the general
scheme 1t is far more desirable 10
have all the rooms in harmony than to
have one deliberately decorated at the
expense of another. The average wom-
an, declares a professional, has no idea
OF artistic decorating. Let her go. for
instance. to pick out wall paper, and
she can comprehend no further than
the little piece that is hung up for sug-
gcstion. She cannot with her eye get
a correct picture OF the room as it
will appear completed. The beauty of
simplicity does not appeal to her, and,
nine cases out of ten, she chooses an
oyerdone scheme; she has no eye for
color and SO combines the wrong
tones. The woman who is about to
furnish home and is not sure of her
own Judgment should value the opin-
ion Of the salespeople if she is assured
that they understand their business.
Unless one has enjoyed superior .ad-
vantages. together with the benefit OF
applied knowledge. she cannot fail to
do better than accept the suggestions
of specialists in that line. whose minds
are concentrated Oh evolving designs
and schemes which shall conform to
the rules Of science and art. The true
and conscientious decorator will study
the personality OF his customer, and
around that he will work. COlors 80 af-

should be chosen with great care.-Chi-

Mr.. and Mrs Geo. W. Davis, and we'll
known to many people who patronized
their store, will be pleased to know
that when Mr.. aud Mrs. Davis moved
from the store u the new dwelling

very much estranged. For lear that
he might get lost Mrs. Davis kept
him confined in the house 10 aCcli-

new home for a mouth or so, she
ventured TO let him out. This was
about month ago, and they never
saw anything more OF him until he
returned Saturday morning very much
emaciated, and hardly able to get
about. He is being nurSed TO his
former self and Mrs. Davis and the
household is much elated over his
return. The query is, where was the
cat during the past IL onth?

The six rural carriers leaving the
Grand Rapids post office every day
are having all kinds of experiences
this winter. Some Of the roads are
wholly impossible and the carriers
cut crOss-lots, and go around long
distances to reach their patrons.
There have been only one or two days
that it was utterly impossible for
them to make their entire trip. The
trains have been late, anywhere from
one to three hours each, SO that the
mail service has been quite irregular
at best. We find what is true OF
Grand Rapids and Wood County is
also true of nearly every city in the
state. These are the days that the
Carriers more than earn their money

Heisler in which four or five parties
took part, and one of them was
seriously injured receiving several
severe cuts on the different parts of

use of bottle. Just what provoked

presume that it comes from the fact
that all had been imbibng freely of

of such occurrences on Sabbath night
ought to be sufficient evidence in
