WILLTAINi DEAN' HOWELLS. CHAPTER X.W. —Continued. 'When she bad closed the door upon him she went to speak with Mrs. Bolton. She was in the kitchen mixing flour to make bread, and Annie traced her by following the lainp-light through the open door. It discovered Bolton sitting in the outer door- way, his back against one jamb and his feet reatitig against the baae of the other. " Mrs. Bolton," Annie began at once, making herself 'free of one of the hard kit - °hen chairs, " how is Mr. Peek getting on "1 d' know as I know just what you mean, Miss Kilburn," said Mre. Bolton, on the defensive. " I mean, is there a party against him in hie church ? Is he unpopular ?" Mrs. Bolton took some flour and sprink- led it on her bread -board ; then she lifted the masa of doineh out of the trough before her, and let it sink softly upon the board. " d' know as yon can say he's unpoplah. He ain't popish with some. Yes, there's a " Is it a strong one " fee pretty strong." " Do you think it will prevail ?" " Well, most o' folks don't know what they want ; aria if there's some folks that know what they don't want, they can gen- erally keep front havin' it." Bolton made a soft husky prefactory noise of protest in ins throat, which seemed to stimulate his wife tow more definite RIP sertion, and she cut at before he could speak : " I should say that ,unless them that stood Mr. Peck's fniends: first off, and got him here, done tiomething to keep him, his enemies wa'n't going to take up his Annie divined a personal reproach for Bolton in tfie apparent abstraction. " Oh, now, you'll see it'll all come out right in the end, Patiliny," he mildly op4 posed. " There ain't any such great feelitil about Mr. Peck ; nothin' but what 'II work itself off perfeely natural, give it time. We goirelo come out ell right. Yea, at the day o' judgment," Mrs. Bolton assented, plunging her fists into the dough, and beginning to work a contempt fer her husband's optimism into it.

There's always somethin' to objeo' to every minister ; we ain't any of us per- fect, and Mr. Peck's got his Wines ; he hain't built up the church quite so much as some on 'em expected but what he would ; and there's some that don't like his pray- ers ; and some of 'eas thinks he ain't doc- trinal enough. But I guess, take it all round, he suits pretty well. It'll come out all right, Pauliny. You'll see." A pause ensued, of which Annie felt the ewfuhiess. It seems to her that Mrs. Bol- ton's impatience with this intolerable hope- fulness must burst violently. She hastened to interpose. " I think the trouble is that people don't fully understand Mr. Peck at first Bat they do finally." " Yea ; take time," said Bolton. • " Take eternity, I guess, for some," re- torted his wife. If you think William B. Gerrish is goin? to work round with time—" She stopped for want of some sufficiently rejectional phrase, and did not go on. " The way I look at it," said Bolton,with incorrigible courage, " is like this : When it comes to anything like asking Mr. Peck to resign, it develop his strength. You can't tell how strong he is withoat you try to get red of him, I 'm,pst wish it would come, onee, faie and square." " I'm sure you're right, Mr. Bolton," said Annie. " I don't believe that your church wouldlet such a Man go when it really came to it. Don't they all feel that he has great ability ?" " Oh, I guess they appreciate him as far forth as ability goes. Some on 'em com- plains that he a a little too intelleetial if anything. But I tell 'em it's a good fault ; it's a thing that can be got over in „feline." Mrs. Bolton had ceased to take part in the discussion. She finished el:leading her dough, and having fitted it into two baking pans and dused it with flour, she laid a clean towel over both. But when Annie rose she took the lamp from the mantel - shelf, where it stood, and held it up for her to find her way back to her own door. Annie went to bed with a spirit lightened as well as chastened, and kept saying over the words of Mr. Peck, so as to keep fast hold of the consolation they had given her. They humbled her -with a sense of his wis- dom and insight ; the thought of them kept her awake. She remembered the tonic that Dr. Morrell had left with her,and after questioning whether she really _ needed it now, she made sure by getting up and tak- ing it Dr. John McGinnis, Hon.

A man who studies these laws of ature carefully and reduces them to a set, nce, can count on exact results every time. A doctor knows that certain remedies -affect certain diseases. 1 When a disease seems to have no remedy, he doctors pronounce it incurable. All the ime Nature may have the remedy right at and, but it will only be discovered by the octor who has studied leonger and deeper than others into this particular disease. Consumption seemed for a long time with- ut a remedy, until Dr. Pierce made his wondetful "Golden Medical Discovery" eo ears ago. It has proved to be a marvelous nd almost unfailing specific for consump- Mon and all forms of lung bronchial and throat difficulties.' Its effects seem almost magical but its op- eration is based upon simple natural laws ift has the peculiar property of enabling 'the blood -making glands to manufacture ihealthy, red blood and pour it abundantly !into the circulation. This nourishing, vital- :dzing effect is rapidly manifested in the ungs and bronchial tubes where it steps the asting process and builds up healthy tissue. It is readily assimilated by stomachs which are too weak to digest cod liver oil, and it is far superior to malt -extracts as a perma- nent and scientific flesh - builder in all watting diseases.

Bute as I was say- ing, my idea Was to give a notion of the whole play in a series ofe-passages or table- aux. Some of my trienils think I've suc- ceeded so well in teffilig the story, don't you know, without a change of scene, that they're urging me to publish my arrange- ment for the use of out-oi-door theatricals." " I should think it would be a very good idea," said Annie. "I suppose Mr. Chap - ley would do it ?" " Well, I don't know—I don't know," Mr. Brandreth answered, with a note of trouble in his voice.. " I'm afraid not," he added, sadly. " Miss Kilburn I've been i put in a very unfair position by 'Miss North - wick's changing her mind about Julietiafter 'the part had been offered to Miss Chapley. II have been made the means of a seeming islight to Miss Cha.pley, when, if it hadn't been for the cause, Pd rather have thrown up the whole affair.

But perhapt she doesn't eally care." " That's what she said," returned Mr. ave pever spoken of it with her since I ent to tell her about it, after I got Miss erthwick's note." The spring had filled and eushed into suremer. Bolton had gone over thei grass on the slope before the house, and it was groWing thick again, dark green above the yellow of its stubble, and the .young vener- ation of robins was foraging in it for the callow grasshoppers. Some boughs of the maples weie beginning to lose the elastic upward lift of their prime, • and to hang looser and limper with the burden of their foliage. The elms drooped lower towards the grass, and swept the straggling tops left standing in thgr shade. The early parz of September had been fixed for the theatricals. Annie refused to haveianything to do with them, and the preparations remained altogether with Brandreth. " The minuet," he said to her one afternoon, when he had come to report to her as a co-ordinate authority, " is pine to be something exquisite, I assure you. A'''. good many of the ladies studied it in the Continental times, you know, when we had all those Martha Washington parties—or, I forgot you werte out of the country—ane it will be done perfectly. We're going to have the ball -room scene on the tennis -court just in front of the evergreens, don't you know, and then the balcony scene in the same place. We have te cut some of the business between Romeo and Juliet because its too long, you know, and some of it's too —too pasaionate ; we couldn't do it proper- ly, and we've decided to leave it out. But we sketch along through the play, and we have Friar Lawrence coming with Juliet out of his cell onto the tennis -court and meeting Romeo • so that tells the story of the mar- riage. 'You can't imagine What a Mercutio Mr. Putney makes ; he throws himself into it heart and soul, especially where he fights lines there out of other scenes too ; the tennis -court sets that part admirably • they come out of a street at the side. Ithink the scenery will surprise you, Miss Kilburn. Well, and, then we have the Nurse and Juliet, and the poillin scene—we put it in- to the garden, on the tennis -court, and we 1 condense the different acts so as to give an ICHARD COMMON, licaased suet neer for the idea of all that's happened, with Romeo it, County of Huron, sales and b le attended to , panished, and all that. Then he comes promptly, charges in keeping with mes, Seaforth, 1523-12 back from Mantua, and we have the tomb scene set at one side of the tennis -court just opposite the street scene ; and he fights - with Paris ; and then we have Juliet come -to the door of the tomb—it's a liberty, of course ; but we couldn't ierrange the light inside—and she stabs herself and falls on Romeo's body, and that ends -the -play. You see, it gives a notion of the whole action, and tells the story pretty well. I think you'll be pleased." " I've no doubt I shall,"- said Annie, " Did you make the adapation yourself,Mr. Brandreth 7" " Well, yes, r did," Mr. Brandreth modestly admitted. "It's been a good deal of work, but it's a pleasure too. You Well, Mr. Brandreth, I think you've eally been victimized ; and I don't believe he Social Union will ever be_worth what costine " I was -sure you would appreciate— ould understand," and Mr. Brandreth pressed her hand gratefully in leave-taking. She heard him talking with some one at the gate, whose sharp, " All right, my son I identified Putney. She ran to the door to welcome him. " Oh, you're both here !" she rejoiced at sight of Mrs. Putney too. " I- can send Ellen home," suggested Put- ney. " Oh, no, indeed 1" said Annie, with single-mindedness at which she laughed with Mrs. Putney: Only it seemed too good to have you both, she explained, kissing Mrs. Putney. " I'm so glad to see you 1' " Wall, what's the reason ?" Putney dropped into a chair and began to rock nervously, " Don't be ashamed ; we're all selfish. Has Brandreth been putting up any more jobs oh you 7" " No, no ! Only giving me a hint of his troubles and sorrows with those wretched Social Union theatricals. Poor young fel- low ! I'm sorry for him. He is really very sweet and unselfish. I like him," " Yes, Brandreth is one of the most lady -like young fellows I, ever saw," said Putney. That Juliet business has pretty near been the death of him. I told him to offer Miss Chapley some otherepart—Rosia- , line, the part of the young lady who was dropped ; but he couldn't seem to see it. Well, and how come on the good works, An- nie ?" " The good works ! Ralph, tell me ; do people think me a charitable person ? Do they suppose I've doneor can do any good whatever ?" She looked from Putney to his wife, and back again with comic en- treaty. " Why, aren't you a charitable person ? Don't you do any good 7" he asked. the world ?" " It is pretty rough," said Putney, taking out a cigar for a dry smoke ; " and nobody will believe me when I report what you say, Annie. Mrs. Munger is_ telling round that she don't see how you can live through the summer at the rate you're going. -She s got it down pretty cold_ about your taking Brother Peck's idea of the invited dance and supper, and joining bands with him to save the vanity of the, self-respecting poor. She says that your suppression of that one un- popular feature has done more than any- thing else to promote the success of the Social Union. You ought to be glad Brother Peck is corning to the show." " To the theatricals ?" Putney nodded his head. " That's what he says. I believe Brother Peck is coming to see" how the upper classes amuse them- selves when they really try to benefit the lower classes." Annie would not laugh at his joke. " Ralph," she asked, " is it true that Mr. Peck is so unpopular in his church ? Is he really going to be turned out—dis- " Oh, I don't know about that. But they'll bounce him if they can." And can nothing be done ? Can't his friends unite ?" " Oh, they've united enough now e what they're afraid of is that they're not numer- ous enough . Why don't you buy in, An- nie, and help control the stock ? That old Unitarian ecricern of yours isn't ever going to get into running order again, and if you owned a pew in Ellen's church you could and you could lend Brother Peela your mor 1 sapport now." TOSS RS aisle, and opened,the door of is pew for her with ironioal.weleome. " You can always have a seat with us, Annie," he !necked, oa their way out of church together. : " Thank you," Relph," she answered, boldly. " Pm going eo speak to the sexton for a pew." A wire had been Carried from the village to the scene of the play at South Hatboro , and electric globes fiezed and hineed over- head, flooding the open tennis-courb with the radiance ot *harper moonlight, and stamping the thick velvety shadows of the shrubby and tree tops deep into the raw green of the grass along its borders. The spectators were seated on the veran- das and terraced turf at the rear of the house, and they crowded the aides of the court up to a certain point, where a cord stretched stereos it kept them from en- croaching upon the space intended for the action. Another rope enclosed an area all round them, evhere chairs and benches were placed for those who had tickets, After the.. rejection of the exclusive feature of the original plan, Mrs. Munger had liberalized 4 more and more ; . she cans - ed it to be known that all who could get into her ground would be welcome on the outside of that iope, even though they did nob pay anything • but a large number of tickets had been s'ol'd to the handeeas well as to the other villagers, and the area with- in the rope was olosiely packed. Some of the boys climbed 'the neighboring trees, where from time to time the town authori- ties threatened them, but did not really Annie, with otheiii friends of Mrs. Mun- dislodge them, ger, gained a reserved seat on the veranda through the drawing -room windows ; but once. there she found herself in the miest of corn any. said a voice that she a key of nervous excite- ment. Mrs. Savor's husband leaned across his wife's lap and shook hands with Annie. " William thought I better come," Mrs. Savor seen:ed called upon to explain. - " I got to do something.

I guess you re full as ex- cited as what I be when all's said and done." There were other acquaintances of Annie's from Over the Traek, in the group around her, and upon the example of the_ Savor's they all greeted her. The wives and sweet- hearts tittered with self derisive expecta- tion ; the men we're gravely jocose, like all Americans in unwonted circumstances, but they wore respectful to the coming perform- ance, perhaps as a tribute to Annie. She wondered how some of them came to haee those seats, which were reserved at an ex- tra price ; she did not allow for that self- respect which melees the American work- man to supply himself with the best hie money can buy while his money lasts. • She turned to see who was on her other hand. A row of three small children stretched from her to Mrs. Gerrish, whom she did not recogniae at first. " Oh, Em- meline !" she said ; and then for want of something else, she added, " 'Where is Mr. " He was detained at the store," said Mrs. Gerrish, with cold importancee ," but he will be here.

A burst of music came from the dense shadow into whic e the group of evergreens at the bottom of the tennis court deepened away from the glister of the electrics. There was a deeper hush ; then a slight jarring and scraping of a eltair beyond Mrs. Ger- rish, who leaned lamas , her children _ and said; " He's come, Annie—right through the parlor window !" Her voice was lifted to carry above the music, and all the people near were able to 'share the fact that righted Mrs. Gerrish in her own esteem. - From the covert of the low ;pines he the middle of the scene Mies Northwiek and Mr. Brandreth appeared hand inband, and then the place filled with figures from other apertures of the little grove and thronah the artificial wings at the sides, and walked the minueel Mr. Fellows, the painter, had helped with the costumes, supplying some from his Min artistic properties, and medi- aevalizing ethers ; the Boston costumes had been drawn upon, by the men •, and they all moved thr6ugh the stately figures with a security which discipline had given them. The broad solid colors whioh they wore took the light and shadow with picturesque effec- tiveness ; the masks contributed a sense of mystery novel in Hatboro', and kept the friends of the dancers in exciting doubt of their identify ; the strangeness of ehe aud- ience to all spectacles of the sort held its judgmentrin suspense. The minuet was en- cored andelead to be given againeand it was some time before the applause of the repe- tition allo4ved the eharacters to be heard when the partners of the minuet began to move about arm in arm, and the drama properly began.

"And your hat ?" said Annie, putting her hand on the curly bare head—" where's' your hat?" On the ground—where ?" ' " Oh, I don't know,"seid falls, lightly, as if the pursuit bored her. Annie pulled her up on her lap. " Well, now, you stay here with me, if you please, till your papa, or your hat comes after you." said the child, turning back her bead, so as laugh her sense of the joke in Annie's face. No matter ; your papa can, and I'm go- ing to keep you." Idella let her head fall back a,gainst An- nie's breast, and began to finger the rings on the hand which. Annie laid across her lap to keep her. " For goodness gracious!" said Mrs.Savor, " who_ yoe got there, Miss Kilbuen ?" " Mlf. Peck's little girl." " Wbere'd she spring from ?" Mrile Gerrish leaned *ward and spoke aortas the six legoof her children, who were all three standing up in their chairs : "You don'e mean to say that's Idella Peck ? Where's her father ? ' "ailomewhere, she says," said Annie, will- ing to answer Mrs. Gerrish with the ehild's nonchalance. 'Well, that's great, !" said Mrs. Gerrish. " I ehould think he better be looking after here -or some one." The music ceased, ii,nd the last act of the plaY began. Before it ended, Idella had fallen asleep, and Annie sat still with her after the crowd around her began to break up. Mrs.Savor kept her seat beside Annie, She said, " Don't you want I should spell youl a little while, Miss Kilburn 7" She leaned over the face of the sleeping child . " Why, she ain't much more thane a baby ! Williams, you go and tee if you ca,n't find Mr. Peck. I'm going to stay here with Miss Kilburn." Her husband humored her whim, and made his wey through the knots and clumps of people toward the ropeitholosing theaennis-court. " Won't, you let me hold her, Miss Kilburn ?" she pleaded again.
