toms representative produced a stamped form of
receipt with gorgeous purple heading which Ma
thaniel duly signed
A few weeks later, Nathaniel Hawkins met his
wife at the Junction some miles up the line on
her return from her visit
He longing to see her again. but that was
not the sole reason of his going to meet her at
Swingham Junction. In his delight however, at
seeing her so well and bright and rosy he all but
lost sight of the real object of his Journey to pre-
vent her catching sight OF the monster advertise
ment for Pullerton's Purple Pills as they passed
it in the train.
Doesn't the country look pretty?" he suggest
ed, calling her attention to the landscape at the
opposite side of the line to where their cottage
stood.
Eyes, doesn't t?" she CRIED gayly "And, oh,
Nat, wasn't it grand of the matron of the home
to recommend her sister and little girl to come
and lodge with us? They will pay seven dollars
week, and may stay for year if they like it;
or even for all the three years that her husband
is to be away. Doesn't it seem as if our troubles
were over at last? Why, there's the train stop
ping, and never looked out of the other window
to see the cottage"
"Never mind, you will see it soon now" replied
Nathaniel, with sinking at his heart. "The fact
is Susannah," he stammered, as they walked
along the lane, there's been little alteration--a
little alteration to the place since you left-and
/ hardly know how you win like it,"
"lndeed-and pray what have you been up to
in my absence?" demanded Susannah, with MT
scal little laugh, she tucked her hand unds
her husbands arm. How good it was to be at
home again, and to have Nat beside herl
'Whatl Is that the surpriseS" she cried, few
minutes later in an awestruck tone as Nathaniel
piloted her round to the lawn and the startling
advertisement relative to Pullerton's Purple Pills
gyrated slowly before her wondering, widey'open
ed eyes.
Nathaniel held his breath as he watched her
face in state of agonized sympathy with her
feelings of horror at the barbarous "neongruity" ="
"Well, / call it really grand" she cried at
last "The people in the trains can't see into our
garden now half so plainly as they could before.
And it's such a pretty advertisement uncou.
mon Don't you think so, Nat?"
But Nathaniel turned in silence towards the
house.

ls;s7S=zs Nathaniel Hawkins paused in his oc-
lSx9E9I cupation of hoeing potatoes and raised
his head as the pronounced twans
reached his ears. Glancing in the direction
whence the voice proceeded, he saw long, lanky
nan leaning in friendly fashion over the garden
gate, his round, soft felt hat pushed back from
sallow countenance, which was animated by
pair of preuaturally bright, greenish eyes.
Eyes" said Nathaniel, shortly, and continued
TO hoe his potato patch with an air OF Istless
depression.
''Is it your own?" presently inquired the stran-
ger.
''Yes.' came again from the lips of Nathaniel;
hut this time he drew himself up to his full
height and, leaning on his hoe, looked round as
he repeated, proudly, "Yes," adding ut was left
me by my grandmother" Then he returned to the
hoeing of his potatoes with sudden access of
depression in his manner.
"Got a mortgage on it?' inquired the Unsuitable
man.
whats that to you?" demanded Nathaniel,
6ercely. turning his back on his interlocutor, who
thereupon remained silent for at least the space
Of one minute; then;
"Say. mister, would you like to make fifty dol
lars this week.
Nathaniel turned round and faced the stranger
with a passionate gesture of despair.
FIFTY dollars this week?" he cried I'D give
my fe's blood for it!
"Good" calculated the stranger, his lantern
laws expanding in a beaming smile as he unlatehed
the gate and entered the garden. "Shake!" and
he laconically extended long, thin hand. "Yor
needn't jump to the conclusion, though, that
want anything so CORY as your life's blood, boss
only calculate to decorate your little property
for you and liyen it up bit that's all"
Nathaniel Hawkins tanned weather-beaten fac,

his hands with an irrepressbe groan, as he gave
himself up to what was the fercest conflict, Il e

Nathaniel was on his feet in an instant, Run
ming his hand over his shaggy locks and grizzled
brown beard he gave himself shake like a
rough-coated dog, and quietly stepping down the
passage, he entered the bedroom.
"Are you awake, my girl?' he asked, gently.
"You were having nice sleep when peeped in
here before Here's your medicine" and he held
glass to her lips and supported the golden head
with rough tenderness
"I'm a poor creature, Nat she sighed, as She
sank back on the pillows. Not much good Of =

alone knew the intensity with which, in her
weakness she craved for the fe-giving breezes
from off the ocean "But there's no money for
the journey, Nat" and the light died down in
the pretty blue eyes.
"But that's just where you're wrong, my girl,

snowy dimity, and, lying there, fair young girl,
at least thirty years younger than the man now
