Entering the pop. ular jewelery store the old mari. gallant- ly acquitted himself of the promise and then directed Polly's attention to the superier stock of silverware carried by the house. "There is no such house in town," said the old man, 'and I will guuantee the quail» ty to be the very best. Pick out your family clock while here," he added. "Fitton carries a magnificent line.

All this happened away "down east," and it wasn't long before there was a Ivedding. Not much longer before there catne a letter from Polly's Uncle Josh, out here in West Ontario who wrote effusively of his delight at her exhibition of What he called "grit,"and he proposed that if the young people would Insitte iit Reiter he would start them up m life, as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their, friends adieu. A few, weeks subsequent to the above conversation a travel -stained pasty arrived in Exeter. Our friend ncle Josh, was in charge and he led the party straightsvay to ahotel. "Th Oenteal," said he "is a. typical Can- adian hotel of the best class. I have known W. T. Acheson, the proprie- tor, for years and he is mine host after mine own heart, a thorough busi- ness man, endowed with that delight- ful intuition that taakes a guest feel at home, comfortable, contented, and in mighty good luck. The house is one of convenience ; the apartments are well furnished and the table bounti- fully supplied. I have engaged rooms here until your own house is in remit- ' ness. With these remarks Uncle Josh presented the deed to a cosy cottage. "After breakfast," said the old map, "I am ready to go buy your outfit. To expedite matters I have ordered a car- riage from Bissett's big livery. When the handsome carriage, with prancing horses dr,- y up in front of the hotel, Polly decteired it the "finest turnout she had ever seen." "Yes Sir-ee," replied Uncle Josh, "the three S's, 'Speed, Safety and Style' is Bis- sett's coat of arms. So young folks, when you want to take a drive, either for business or pleasure go to him for a rig every time." His weddind party and funeral equipments are ur#urpass- ed. And by the way I have arranged with him for your sewing machine,the Reymond, which is a dandy too. It was in this stylish • turnout that the rounds of the town were made. "Having provided you with a cage for the bird," said Uncle Josh, "now the first thing we'll look after will be the furnishings for it." Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had heard so much about R. N. Rowe the furniture man and funeral director that She had decided to go there. The result was that they were ushered into such a bewildering display that the girl was at nest at a loss how to select. But she soon yielded to the seductiveness of a mitgnificent valor suite, a bed romn set in oak, antique finish, that would do credit to old Antiquity himself. To this she added an easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't forget a most convenient and ornamental writing desk for "Hubby" Charles. She said she though e Rowe's figures were below the very whisper of competition. "A pretty godd start," saki the old i man, and now we'll go to Bishop & Sons I big hardware and stove store. Here Polly's houeewifely instincts had full ' play in marvels of kitchen apparatus. "There is not an establishment in the country that carries a more compre- hensive stock of household furnishings," rernarked Uncle Josh. "Every possible piece of kitchen furniture from a 3c. tin dipper to a cooking range is here in all styles and variety." It Polly feils to accomplish wonders in the culinareaart it will not be fox. want of superior cooking unten- sil& for she purchased a Good Cheer A ft'Ahnl a steel oven cook stove with all ease " squipments needed in a well regulated then, including a big supply of cut- -nq the like.

"You are decidely oft- style for a townsnum," said he, "and we'd better go see J. H. Greive, the merchant tailor.

"I'll guarantee that when you get togged out in a J. 11, Greive suit you'll look roar*: like a newly mar- ried man." Charley left his measure and sure enough when a few days later he put on the fine snit, he looked so stylisb, that Polly declared she'd have fallen in love with him sooner had he must have one like that for the girl." "All right, my boy," replied the old man, and I'll bet a dollar that that fine buggy you see came from "Wine Kunzs' factory. He makes buggies, carriages, surrey s and spring wagons of every style and what is more he makes good ones, and is satisfied with a moderate profit too. Besides new work Mi. Kunz does every kind of carriage repairing and painting in the most scientific manner.
