 Patience was preparing breakfast, rushed into the house and with the windows all open, for it was summer, caught her and the children in his arms. Few people were in the street at that early hour, and the captain, who suddenly remembered that it was Sunday and that Il man was not per mitted to kiss his wife on that day. thought no one had seen him. But Patience disabused his confidence. When her husband kissed her she was facing the window and saw the lank form of Aminadab Longshanks go by and corner of his eye turned toward the house.
 The next day Captain Witridge was taken before magistrate and con- victed of 'lewd and unseemly con duct" in kissing his wife on the Lords day. He was forced to pass two hours in the stocks and to pay d fine of five pounds. It was not known except to the Witrdge family who was the in- former, and the captain charged his wife to say nothing about her having seen Aminadab go by the house at the time the "lewd and unseemly conduct" was enacted. The fact that the in- former had been Mrs. Witridge's be- trothed would place her husband in an unenviabe position if Longshanks chose to deny complicity in the matter.
 Witridge made several voyages after that, accommodating snug property. He was happy except for one thing he had not got even with the informer. One Saturday night, when he was ashore, Patience told him that Truth Hollister had told her that Eunice Trotter had told her that Aminadab Longshanks was hurrying with prepa- rations to go to New Amsterdam on important business. It struck the cap- tain that possibly the business might be so consequential that his enemy would be tempted 10 travel on the Lords day. He would not likely start. however, till after sunset which closed the Sabbath, The captain wished in his heart that his enemy might go earlier in the day. that he might be tempted to kiss his wife before start ing and that he (Witridge, might catch him in the act.
 The next afternoon Captain Wit ridge took walk about the town Something prompted him to turn his steps toward the I.ongshanks dwell ing. He passed it about the hour of sunset He saw Aminadab come out Of the house and glance at the sun.

His horse was before the door. held by a negro. Mrs. Longshanks came out and the two looked at the suu to- gether. The atmosphere was murky and it was impossible to tell whether the sun was setting beneath the hori- zon or cloud. When it disappeared Mrs. Longshanks put her arm about her husbands neck and their lips met in kiss. Then Aminadab mounted ifs horse and rode away.
 Several persons saw the act and they were uncertain whether or no the sun had set beneath the horizon or cloud. They watched for a matter Of five minutes. when the lower limb of a dull red ball protruded beneath the clouds.
 When Aminadab Longshanks re- turned from New Amsterdam he was met by charge of having kissed his wife on the Lords day and was fined and put into the stocks.
 While Aminadab was in the stocks Captain Witridge-and this was not known 10 any one in the colony except Mrs. Witridge-placed shavings in his chimney. made spark near them with flint and rushed down the street crying fire. The citizens rushed in the opposite direction. When the cap tain reached the spot where his enemy was sitting in the stocks he found the culpcit alone. all having gone to the fire. Approaching his enemy. the cap tain deliberately and with malice aforethought proceeded 10 tickle the bottoms of Longshanks' feet.

Harriet Martineau displayed orig inality in the provisions she made at one time for the disposal of her re- mains. James Payn relates that, hav- ing consulted Toynbee, the distinguish ed aurist, with regard to her deafness. "she was so pleased with the interest he took in her case that she resolved to leave him by testamentary bequest her ears. She announced this inten- tion in the presence of her medical man, Mir.

 In the good old colony days"-they were not so good as the present by any means-a young sailor named Wit. ridge, who was not so infatuated with his religion that he must needs wish to make bonfire of those who disagreed with him on doctrinal subjects. came out to Boston from England and stayed long enough to fall in love with Pa thence Hartshorne. the daughter of a furitan.

He bade adieu to his wife and a little boy and girl who had come to him since his marriage with d sad heart, for he was not to meet them again for three years and was in the meanwhile to encounter the perils of the sea. It was long three years for them both.

Pilkerton Won the Race.


 At one of the regattas of the Ma tional Association of American Oars men during the early nineties James Pilkerton, for many years the cham pion sculler of America. was matched to row double against another team. He and his mate were the cha mpions, and the general belief was that they would win without effort But the night before the regatta public opinion suddenly and mysteriously changed. Mir. Pilkerton knew that this was not caused by any new development of strength in his opponent or any loss of skill on his own part. After making some quiet inquiries he discovered that there was talk of his rowing mate hay ing been bought up by the other side and of an arrangement to throw the race.
 He didn't say anything about his sus- picions, but when the two men were seated in the shell and were we'll out into the deep water he leaned over to his mate and said:

Why Syrup
 Pepsin is Free

For more years probably than the age of the person reading this, Dr. w. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, H., has practiced medicine, and the one thing that forced itself on his mind was the urgent need of the human body for something that would scien- tihcally regulate the digestive or gans-the stomach, liver and bowels.
 These years of study developed Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin. now recognized as the national safeguard of health in twenty years it has been gaining friends, for it is today, as it always has been, the best laxative tonic for women, children and old folks. for these especially need Q gentle, safe laxative tonic that is sure in results and does not gripe.
 It is because the doctor has watched it's good work for all these years and believes in the merit of his remedy that he offers to send free trial bottle at his own ex- pense to anyone who writes him. You have simply to send your name and ad- dress. On the strength of what these free trial bottles have done-and thou- sands have been given away-Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is today more widely used than any other American remedy for constipation, liver trouble, flatulency. dyspepsia. heartburn and similar disor- ders of the stomach, liver and bowels. It can be obtained of any druggist at 50 cents and $1 bottle, and bottle will do you a hundred times the amount of good if costs you.
