THE eToltv OF A SIT,4TERV TIIAT WAS NEVER
SOLVED.
RV NOEL F. LINT.
Samuel Ebenezsr Jenkins, small boy, had
always favored the match. His eister was
quite old enough to marry, and there were
other girls to help their mother with the
washing on Mordays and the. churning 'on
Sat4rdays, and the cooking when harvest
time broug'nt its gtiiig of tired men to wash
under the great elm behind the house, and
subsequently to make heavy requisitione
on the supplies of food heaped on Farmer
Jenkins' table.
But it was not on grounde of convenience
or expediency that Samuel Ebenezer favor-
ed the marriage of his sister Susan to a well-
to-do young farmer in the adjoining town-
ship. Neither, so far as he was concerned,
was it a question of duty to the race. In-
deed, a 12 -year-old boy who had not as. yet
shown himself to be gifted with a mind --of
any philosophi al bent might well be ex-
oused for never having viewed the matter
in its sociologic., I light. - s
The basis of ammy'adeep and unwaver-
ing approval of what, until within te; week,
he had regarde as practically socomplish.
ed, was rather ore personal. Jeff Hawk-
ins, hie sister's is respective husband, owned,
among other th'ngs not included in Sammy's
rather one side inventory, a gun and
boat on the neighboring river. Thee
things were " ore than all the Indies " t
such a boy as ammy,asnd in hie long hours
of meditation, e he lay on the hay lookin
up at the const Illations of little stars in th
roof overhead, e had developed wholl
satisfactory ain probable theory as to th
dutiee of rfflueit brothers-in.law, like Jeff,
Orme only :army had +reached th
matter to hie a ster, after first having o.rous
ed her suspicio , and then her ire, by th
eolicitous proff ring of his eervicea_i_n sever
al useless and ridiculous directions. Th
hiut that he 6. ally let fall weal not receive
in a way to e courage more confidences
but none the este Sammy began, in th
realm of antioi ation, to deport hime3lf it
conformity wit his new position in th
worl d.
" Guess Pll ake a ride in your boat thi
morning, Jeff," he might be heard eayin
to himself at le et once every hour durin
the forenoon. And then Jeff having acquit.
ted laimself in ho fashion of a true brother
in-law, Sammy would proceed to carry out
his 1` guess," a 1 in fancy Later he began
to speak of it as the boat, with the impli-
cation of a kint of gerieral ownership ; and
one day his eta ding among his fellow men
was perceptibl elevated by the discovery
of the pronoun our. Before long it became
superfluous to ay anything to Jeff about it
when the boat vas wanted, and that state
was uualloyed
HoW keen, t en, was Sammy's apprehen-
sinn wheJ,Jeff visits to the Jenkins omo
euddenly cearod. Two weeks had w
passed, and th 4 email boy's fears had almost
deepened into espair. No explanation of
the unhappy st te of affairs had been made.
and Susan had exhibited to the watchful
eye of her bro her no unusual symptoms
except on one cannon •slight evidence of
having given w y to tears when Sunday
afternoon paesed with no sign of the recre-
ant suitor.
At length th situation became unendur-
able. Boat rid a of the imagination fell far
below par whe their redemption in the
specie of actual fact was no longer to be
expected. ,Sa my made up his mind that
he could at lea t not harm matters by. ven
turing to make some enquiries of his sister.
So one day, wh n she appeared to be i9 a
frame of mind avorable to advances looking
towards an exc ange of coefidences, Sammy,
having lost fait in the indirect methods of
diplomacy whi h he had' tried before with
results so disastrous, boldly jumped into
the midst of Wogs.
" What's a e matter 'tween you and
Jefl ?" he inq ired, in the tone of one
whoee brishtest hopea in life had been
blighted, at lea t partly, through the fault
of the person a dressed.
Fur some rea on there was go sign of the
fiery outbzeak hich the youthful seeker
after knowledg had half expected would
follow his fire inquiry. Susan merely
turned her bacl towards the door, which
Sammy had dis retely chosen as his base for
operations, and in a 'half illnatured, half
sorrowful tone inswered that there "'warn't
nothin' the mat er."
" Then, why hain't Jeff - been here for
so long ?" came question number two.
" What do y care if he don't come ?"
said Susan—which was clearly no answer,
and suggeated like evasion on the other
side.
" Ain't he co nin' any more ?" asked the
-boy anxiously.
" Look a' here," said his sister, " I guess
you ain't so aw ul busy but what you can
wait a while an find out 'for yourself. And
while you are d iug that you'd better go
and 'tend to yo r own business."
Sammy felt tl at this was an entirely un-
just admonition for his intervention was
eolely for the p rpm " 'tending to his
own business and advancing the interekits of
the youngest Jenkins. But for reaeons of
business policy, thie fact could net well be
explained at p: sent ; so he stood in silence,
looking for inep ration at a very dirty rag
tied around his ig toe on the fo,6t that had
discovered a br ken bottle in tha, bottom of
the pond back o the sheep barn. -,The dull
ache under the ag eeemed to seggest the
value of due - caution 'in all matters, so
Sammy brought the interview to a close
with a remark .hich he hoped would have
its effe3t on his sister's stubborn heart ; for
he had no doubtl that she was the one who
had brought things 'to their present very
unsatisfactory condition.

The old Man chuckled softly.
" Gosh ! Susan's spunky, ain't he ?"
he said. " Guess I know where eh got
that. We I," he continued soberly,1 " if
they can't hoe the same row therd a

" That's so," answered Mrs. Jenkins,
but I kheder think Susan ' is a wishin' it

would just accidentally cothe together they

" Do you believe it ? j dou'asee as how

Well, Let 'em wear it out to suit themselves.

That was all that Sammy heard, but for
some reason it let in . a' riim ray of hope
where utter ,darkness had been before.
There was the possibility left that " they
might just accidentally come together."
That evening Mr. Jenkins was not- well
enough to go to carnp meeting as he had
done regula ly for the past three weeks, so
Sammy was told to hitch up 'old Bill and
take his mo her to the " preachinh" Susan
was still in mood, as she expressed it of
not seeing a y more of that red haired
preaeher, and 1113 the other girls were equal-

As they 4 ove up to a hitch rack in ront
of the meeti g tent, they noticed Jeff ying
his horse to poet near by ; but eom how
Jeff's hitch trap seemed to. be giving h at a
great deal o trouble just then, and he fail-
ed to shrew ny sign of noticing their ar ival.
It meetin Jeff eat a short distanc in
front of Sammy and. Ins mother, so that
Sammy coal watch him whenever the per -
happy. He ,looked steadily at the bac of

not so dram tic as to hold the boy's a ten-

gelist. Several times that evening So. my
thought of ehe words that he had card
his mother Mee : " If they'd just acci ento

up pretty qu ck." But then he also re ern-
bered his fat er's reply : " But I don' see
as how that s gom' to happen," and his
heart sank mace more. 1
Jeff stayed to the after meeting, but
Mrs. Jenkine, who was too serene and orn-
fortable in t e matter of herl religious be-
liefs to have much sympathy ivith the agony
and eostacy f the mournr4s' bench, eent
Sammy out t unhitch the horse. It was
pitch dark, e cept for the starlight, and as

But as his e es grew eaccus omcd to the

oton that was wearisome.
Be ore old Bill had covered the two
miles to where the road branched, Sammy's
eyes egan to grow heavy. He woudered
if he was going to be a victim to Jeff's fatal
weak less. Then he seemed to see himself
sires y asleep, and his mother cli bing oub
at th back of the buggy to go home through
old 5 's pasture. That roused him, and he
looks at the vied ahead. Here as where
it di ided. Old Bill needed no hi t on the
direc ion in whieh he should turn. Sammy
was hinkiog that if he had dhang d buggies

with Bob, he would have tound o t his mis-
take ere for Bob would have tur ed to the

Th dream ended, and the dre mer -was
wide awake ; but in its place omething

bloo to Sammy's face and made* is hande
trem le with excitement. He ad given
birth to an idea. -
Sa my had never been a bad o reckless
boy. How it was, then, that s bold a
thou ht, even when nurtured by uggestive
eirou stances, ever sprang into life in his
mind is a mystery of the ages. ut there
it we, , living, breathing, even rob ing Sam-
my o hie breath in the fiercen es of its
posse sion of him. But history is only half
mad when an idea is born. The other half
depe da Opon him who gives the i ea birth.
If he is worthy of the child of his mind, he
beco es its willing tool, its slay , and it
drive him on by its own mot ve power
until the' ohapter is ended.
Sa nmy's excitement increased teadily as
the i ea developed and gained strength.
He b gan to be impatient at the d liberation
with which old Bill plodded felon. the road
towa ds home. He was in 9, hurr , to take
refug in the seclusion of his room under the
bare afters where he could th nk things
over n safety,
At last old Bill turned into th yard ot
home. Sammy unhitched him an put him
into he barn, and then slipped uietly up
to hi room. He went to bed wi hout any
light and lay for scme time with the idea
throbbing in his head. But befor long the
moonlight began to stream into his room,
fell o the wall opposite the bed, nd gleam-
ed br ghtly on the door knob. Sammy's
eyes ceded on that, and he sank into the
untro bled sleep of youth.
• He awoke the next morning t# hear his
name being called at the foot of he stairs,
and h lost no time- in appeari g at the
break lest table: He ate eile tly, only
epeak ng once, to ask his father h w he .was
feelin that morning. His fathe 's answer
that e felt somewhat better tha he had
on th previous evening had the trange ef-
fect o deepening the troubled loo on Sam-
my's ace ; but no one noticed it and he
soon soaped to the barn.
He stayed away from the hous as much
as po sible that day, and epent his time
wand ring aroUnd the other bu ldings on
the farm and lyiog in his favorite haunt on
top o the clover that was piled 'most to
the r of ot the hay sheds, whence he could
look p at the twinkling points a d oraeks
of lig t, or watch the white chuds drift
acme a knothole in a board over his head.
Two r three Ulna he became mo e reetless,
and t ied to find relief by throwi g stones
at th oparrows down by the watering
troug . Once he went and hunt d ,up the
negle ted board, which, in the be ter days,
he ha begun to fashion into an o r to use
with efee boat. He began to w ittle away
at it, ut he soon grew tired and hrew the
board away.
At ast the family gathered at t e supper
table. Sammy oast an anxious lo k at his

busin es of eating, and kept his attention
rivite upon the bread and butter ncrapple-
sauce in his plate. , But hie d halted
half ay to his mouth when Mr Jenkine
inqui ed of her husband whethe he felt
well nough to go to meeting that night.
ell, I reekon I could go," e replied
weak y, " but maybe it will do ju t as well
if I ay at home. Tre other ol sinners
will ave abigger share of the p achin' if
I ain't in the way. Hadn't you nd Susie
d rather
hook her
bette go ?" The old man gaz
plead ngly over at Susan, but she
bead and said nothing. -
Mr . Jenkins looked at her you gest born,
who ad meanwhile resumed the rhythmic
move ent of arm and jaw, and in( uired in.
differ ntly :
" I o you want to go again, Sam y ?"
Th boy turned very red, and b rely suc-
ceed d in stammering ont his willi gness to
go if Susan wouldn't. Fortun tely this
way f putting the matter turned attention
away from him to Susan, and, as she con-
tinue. to shake her head, he eve t out to
brin the buggy around to the door.
M s. Jenkins and Sammy re ched the
meet ng place without incident. T ey found
a aro d already gathered, and,: much to
Sam y's satisfaction, they had to ad seats
on a etude in the back part of the tent. He
looked around for Jeff, and sciOn tscovered
him eated, as on the previous eve in' g, well
towa de the front. Everything s emed to
favor the idea, and Sammy grew ore and
more reetless as the meeting progressed.
His other noticed the flush upon his face,
and, leaning over, asked him in a whisper
if he as " feelin' bad anywhere."
No , Sammy had never in his life felt
better than he did at that partic lar mo -
k1
ment, but everybody knows that when a
boy, i the unselfishness—or selfis ness—of
hie he rt, devotes himself to the futtherance
of a gr at and good—or bad—cau e, it is
;
natura and right to suspend the uthority
of Sun ay school precepts when circum-

up to let in the breez =he hueried forward
to the hitching rack. There appeared to be
no one in the vicinity of the horses. The
fates wore evidently p opitious, and Sammy
acted accordingly. 1
He first found Jeff' spring wagon, and
as fast as hands trem ng with excitement
could work, he unhit ed tugs and hold -
batiks and belly band, and led 1Bob out of
the shafts. Then he an to where old Bill
was tied and repeated the operation. It
was the work of but a moment more to lead
old Bill over to Jeff's agon, hitch him into
it, and tie him to the ost with Bob's hitch
rein. Before the seoo d stanze ot the well
worn but well belove " Bringing in the
sheaves," had rolled o t upon Ole night air
from under the broad expanse of canvas,
Bob was innooently aequerading as the
family horse of farmer Jenkins.
The two horses coul hardly be told apart
even in the daytime, nd Sammy had ne
fears of Jeff's discover ng the ohange ; ba
there were other thin s that Might easily
go wroog and ruin everything, and the
strain on the young lotter's ' nerves was
no less than terrific.
Sammy did not ven ure to show himself
again in the glare of he tent lights, but
waited until the first meeting was ended,
and his mother came ut to ths buggy. To
her inquiries he answiered that he felt a
little better. He mi ht have• added that
he was in the moat aoate need of the relief
that a few wild Indian war whoops would
have given him, but he said nothing about
it, and on the way home preserved the
most, discrete silenoe. Leaving his mother
at the house, he drov down to the barn,
unhitched the horse, nd tied him in old
Bill's stall without ta Mg off the harness.
With this accomplish d, he cautiously ap-
pioached the house, a d tiptoeing up to the
kitchen window, assu ed himself that Susie,
according to her usu I practice, was seated
beside the kitchen ta le, deeply absorbed in
reading.
He then went out tio the road and listen-
ed. No sound of an approaching wagon
could be heard. Sammy ran down the road
about two hundred verde, and, after listen-
ing intently for a minnte or two, found a
large rook beside the toad and sat down to
waMiteanwhile, Jeff, having remained for a
time in the after meetling, found ehat his in -
tercet in the proceedhige could no longer
hold out against his i creasing drowsiness.
The medley of shouts and songs and groans,
the mass of waving ar e and bobbing heads
and forms groveling in the straw around the
foot of the speaker's pl eform, all began to
bedtime indistinct and uddled in his mind,
and he realized that it4 was time for him to
go home. He made His way through the
confusion of benches an chairs, and passed
into the outer air. T e freshness of the
night aroused him so hat he had no diffi-
culty in finding the pla e where he had left
hie horse and wagon, a d in getting safely
etarted towards home.
The noises of the revilval grew gradually
fainter, and at last 0:4ed out altogether.
Then, for a moment as he breeze from the

direction of the tent, fre hened a little, he

ing on his breast, asleep.1
And now Sammy' anxious ear caught the
(1(t
sonnd of some one pproaching on the road.
He stepped hastily back into the shadow of
the hedge and waited. Soon he could tell
that it was a horse wal ing ; then a dim
for was visible. Sammy's heart was throb -
bin almost painfully. A moment more,
an all doubt was remov d. It wail old Bill
briteging Jeff baok to Su an.
Sammy sped ,towards he house, at first
keeping in the shadow Of the hedge, and
then tearing down the middle of the road
with all the swiftness that -he could get
out of two healthy legs. As soon as he was
safely over the wagon gate, he stopped to
listen and catch his breath. Old Bill's iron
5110 feet could be heard dropping methodi-
oally on the hard dirt road.
1 Sammy, suppressing am far as possible his
eiolent breathing, walke into the kitchen.
Susan looked around, so ewhat surprised at
eeeing her younger br ther up after ten
o'clock. She was about to make inquiries
When Sammy, looking at her with an ex -
prelusion of eorrowful appeal stamped upon
his face, said slowly :
64 Jeff wants -to see yo ; he's waiting for
you at the gate."
And then, to escape qu etions and avoid
delay, he opened the stai way door and dis-
appeared in the direction of his room. But
he did not go to bed, as might have been ex-
pected. Instead, he lietened a moment to
be sure that Susan was nob following him,
and then, making use of the porch roof and
post with an ease that indicated like excur-
sions before, and that might have been un-
pleasantly suggestive to the mind of his Sun-
day Reboot teacher, he reached the ground
and peered warily around the corner of the
ebduSirludastianhager."slowly along the path that led to
me out of the kitchen, and walk -
the front of the house and then down to the
gate. Old Bill had reached the gate some
moments betore, and, not being poeseesed of
a great deal of hunter blood, had decided to
stop and wait until it was opened. - The
stopping of the wagon aroused Jeff to the
realization that he had reached home, and
he slowly climbed over the wheel and went
to open the gate.
But here a most puzzling thing confront-
ed him ; for, instead of finding, as usual, a
large hook which must be released from its
staple in order to let the gate swing open,
here was a kind of wooden latoh that lifted
from theebutside by a piece of string. As
Jeff fumbled at it in the darkness, the truth
came upon him diet this was the gate thst
he had so often opened on his vieits to
Susan Jenkins.
He raised his head to look over the fence
in the direction of the house, and beheld,
coming towards him along the shadowed
cinder path, a figure in white, which seemed
to hesitate, and then oame forward again
until it was only a few feet from the gate.
" Well," said a vhioe with just a little
tremble in it, " areteou afraid to come in.
side the gate ?"
Never in his life had Jeff been so utterly
confounded ; but perhaps, also, he had never
had so many thoughts in hie slow brain in so
subject had a certain embarraseing sugges-
out a doubt ; but how did he happen to be
far ; he would Clot refuse to go where the
short a time. Before him stood Susan, with -

done ? Providence had brought him thus

confide the whole mystery to Susan, and
let her see how plainly it was meant that

pretty late, and I thought we could t :k
iust as well down here for a minute eir
two."
Susan came up close to the gate and rest-
ed one hand on the tap of it.
" Jeff, are you mad yet ?" she ventured
tirnJekiffi'Ys.big hand descended like an ava-
lanche upon hers.
" Susan, you know I couldn't be mad at
you as long as this. You ain't mad at me
aver more, are you ?"
"No," she replied, " I haven't been mad
at you for more than a week, and I wasn't
very mad then ; only you know it wasn't
very—very nice of you to go to sleep that
way."
" I'm awfully sorry, Sue and I won't
ever do it again, ' he answered contritely.
" You can if you want to," she returned
impulsivety.
Jeff put his big arms over the top of the
gate and around Susan's neck, and the re-
conciliation was complete.
For some time they stood thus in silence,
and then Jeff said regretfully : " Do you
remember, Sue, that thie would have been
our wedding day if that hadn't happened ?"
" Yes," she answered almost tearfully.
" I've been thinking of it all day, and it
made me feel so bad that I didn't hardly
know what to do."
Jeff was silent, again. His heart began
thumping loudly againet the top board of
the gate.
Sualdenly he burst out : " Susie, let's go
and get married to night. You know it
ain't fur to preacher Jones', and we're just
as near ready now as we'll ever be, ain't
we?"
" It's just too wonderful I" she exclaim-
ed, ueing Jeff's own phrase. " I was think-
ing of that myielf, but--"
" Look here, Sue," he pleaded, " what if
we ehould have another falling out ? I
couldn't ever stand it. Don't let's run any
more risk. We can get married to -night,
and then we'll have a little surprise for the
folks to•morrow."
Susan was won. Without any more op-
position she hurried into the house after
her hat, while Jeff turned the bugyy
around ; and before the astonished Sammy,
at his post of observation behind a large
gooseberry bush, could fairly realize what
had happened, they were disappearing
down the road towards Rev. Mr. Jones
residence.
This was not the way that Sammy had
laid out the course of events. He had ex-
pected that Jeff and his sister would go in-
to the house, and give him the needed op-
portunity to put Bob back into his master's
shafts. Not infrequently things in this
world work too well, as Sammy now ap-
preciated.
But the result was that old Bill, in a
manner highly improper for a horse that was
supposed to be on the road home, or for a
horse that was taking a happy couple to the
minister's house, kept continually gettiog
out of the road, and trying to turn round.
Jeff paid little attention beyond jerking him
into the road again. He was not asleep
this time, but was revealing to Susan a
power of eloquence that he had never dis-
played before. Most opportunely, too that
true friend of lovers, the moon appeared up-
on the scene, showing the stre'tch of road
ahead and the minister's house in the dis-
tance shut, alas, making another revelation
also.
" Why, Susan, what's the matter ?" ex-
claimed Jeff, as his companion suddenly
straightened herself in the seat and gazed
at the horse in front.
" How do you happen to have our old
Bill ?" she cried in astonishment.
" Old Bill ?" questioned Jeff.
" Yes, that's old Bill, don't you see ?" re -

A LAIKE BACK.
Causes Mr. C. H. Wilcox Years of
Great Suffering.
Injured His f3pine While Lifting. and the
Doctors Told Him He Would Never
,Fully Recover—But He Is Once More
Free From the Trouble.
From the Brockville Recorder,
In the wesiOrn section of Leeds county
there is no man better known than Mr,
Charles H. Wilcox. He has resided in the
vicinity of MeIntbeh Mills for years, and
during much of the time has conducted a
very succestful saw -milling business. Allot
Mr. IWilooN's neighbors know that be WAS a -
great sufferer for yeare from a lame back,
and Imost of them know that this affliction
has now happily passed away. Mr. Wilcox
says, he owes this happy release from pain to
Dr. iWilliamis' Pink Pills, an& those who
know him will not for an instant question,
-the sincerity of his statement. He gives the,
stor of his suffering and subsequent mire in
the ollowing statement :—" One day while
wor ing in the mill, and engaged in lifting
lum er, .had the misfortune to severely
wrenich my back, I was to badly injured
thati I had to be carried home, and for sir
monehe I was practically unable to move,
and euffered great torture. The doctor told
me that I had injured my spine and that I
would never fully recover from its effects.
At last I was able to go about again, but
was tar from being the man I had been be-
fore; For years I suffered almost continu-
ally'from pains in the back, and was unable
to lift any heavy weight. At times thepain
was ito bad that I was unable to work at
all, itnd I was often zorifined to the house
for daya at a time. During this time I was
treated by four different doctors, but their
treatment did not seem to do me any good.
They told me that owing to ihe injury to
my spine my back would always be weak.
Seeiog that the doctors were unable to help,
me, and having read of elle -many cures re-
sulting from the use of Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills, I decided to give them a trial, and
procured a supply. Very soon I could see
that they were relieving me a little, and this
encoeraged mo to continue their use. In
all I took about ten boxes, and when they
were, finished my back was as strong as ever.
The Osiris that had racked my body for so
many years had entirely disappeared, my
back felt Re strong as before the injury. It
is new two years since I discontinued the
use cif the pills, and in all that time I have
not had an ache or pain, so that I may sefe-
ly say that my cure is permanent. I would.
advite all similar sufferers to try Dr. Wil-
liam' Pink Pills, for knowing what they
have done for me, I am confident that they
cannot be lesa successful in other cases."
These pills are sold by all dealers in medi-
eine, or may be had by mail at 50e a box,
or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr.

The Cancer Microbe.
The discovery of the new cancer micro-
organism by Dr. H. L. Gaylord, of the New
York State Laboratory, at Buffalo, is at-
tracting a great deal of attention both
among the medical profession and laymen.
A recent paper published by him contains
an etaborate contribution to the subject of

have discovered the veritable micro -organ.

never before isolated or described. .Ikecord-,
ing to Dr. Gaylord, the eancer parasite is,
of animal origin, and ha capable of inoculat-
ing the guinea pig and rabbit with malign-
ant infections. Another fact of importance
that rooms to have been established is tbat
the specific protezoa are to be found circul-
ating freely in the blood of all afflicted
patients, and that these protozoa are iden-
tical with those seen in the tumors them-
selvee. This discovery would seem to dis-
prove the theory that cancer is a purely
local trouble, and to support the tontentioa
that the diseate is a general eysternic infec-
tion from the start, and that the ordinary
surgical methods of removing isolated
growths cannot be considered as radical
cureg. Commenting on this feature of the
discovery the New York Herald says : "It
is safe to assume, however, in view of the
experience of many noted operatore who
have,cured cancer by extirpation, that the -
views of the dietinguieleed bacteriologist
may be a trifle too radical. In any event it
would appear that thus far the investiga-
tions are of a tentive character merely, and
