HEN a gentleman has sere- naded a lady in the evening, it is polite to send her flowers next day. Reflecting upon this matter while eating my morning meal, it came into my mind that there might be a florist's garden somewhere in that region. Indeed I seemed to re- member the shining roof of a green- house beside the road from the city. After breakfast I sought information .of Jimmy, who was sitting in a corner .of the principal Witherspoon porch and .staring at nothing with the air of one who understood it perfectly, who knew why it was nothing and could create • it out of something whenever the uni- verse should run short. "A place where you can buy flowers?" amid Jimmy. "M -m -m." He had caught this sound from Mrs. is.Witherspoon and had modified It in . accord with his own nature. As ut- tered by him and accompanied by slow nodding of the head it meant: "So this man wants to buy flowers? Well, well! ` This is ust what I expected." j "Ther'e's two or three of thein around ' bgre," said he. "I'll think which is the best. I've got to go into the house now, but I'll be right back. Will you be here?" In an earlier stage of my acquaint- •. ance with Jimmy I should have ac- cepted this statement at its facb value; but, having gained a knowledge of his methods, I perceived the truth, which was that he had no idea where there ' was a florist, and was going into the house to find some ono who could en- lighten hint. It was immaterial to me, :so I sat down in the porch to wait for him. Half a dozen of the boarders came out while I was there, more in- . deed than I had ever encountered be- fore in so short a space of time. Among ' them was the blue eyed girl who sat in ..my part of the dining room, though , rarely when I was there, for the With- erspoon boarders differed remarkably in their gastronomic habits. She had a shawl, a sun umbrella and a portly volume, which was the "Life and Let- ters" of somebody whose name my eye did not make out, probably because I ' had never heard of him. In spite of her somber taste in liter- . ature, it seemed to me that the girl might yet be saved, for she gave me a very human glance out of the corners of her pretty eyes as she went past. I was vaguely wondering what that . glance would have done to me if I had not been so deeply interested in two • other girls, or possibly three, as Sibyl might not be the orchard nymph -four, indeed, counting Miss Jones, who was almost certainly the prettiest of all - when there was a sound of footsteps in the hall and Mrs. Witherspoon appear - sed with her niece. The lady of the house did not pause, but pursued her way to the garden, -carrying the enormous tin pan•in which .she gathered for our delectation the .finest vegetables ever grown on earth. Lucy Ann, however, was not upon the same errand, and I succeeded in detain- ing her. "My goodness!" she exclaimed when I had asked her about • the florist. "What do you want to buy flowers for? The prettiest roses that ever you saw grow right around here." "But you can't get American Beau - :ties and that sort of thing," I objected. `Had Not Strength To ®o His Work Was laid up for a month and suffered greatly but cur© came sivith the use of Dr. Char's Remedies.

American? Well, I should like to know Who imported them, and as for their beauty you ought to see them. Of course I know that you mean a particu- lar kind of rose, .but the idea of your wanting bought flowers!" "I think women as a rule prefer that kind," said I, "unless the posies come out of a private garden where, of course, they actually cost more." "Oh," she said, "you're going to give them to somebody." "I don't care much for flowers," I replied with palpable evasion. "At the academy where I fitted for college the head master was a crank on bot- any, and he kept vs pulling flowers to pieces until we lost all respect for them; grew to hate them, in fact -and him. I'll 'never forgive the rascal. By forcing my inclinations he spoiled a part of my appreciation of nature. Caesar's ghost!" The exclamation was sudden and seemingly uncalled for, and Lucy Ann opened her gray eyes in surprise. "I beg your pardon," said I. "Speak- ing of botany reminded me of some- thing." "It's a gentle subject, I should say," responded Lucy Ann. "I don't see anything in it to make a person swear." "You're a Puritan," said T, "or a Quakeress. I didn't swear, though the idea was really startling. Where did you say your aunt's garden was?" "It's way off over there," she replied, waving her hand in an indefinite fash- ion toward the upper end of the lake. "About how far?" I inquired. She gave me a quick, keen glance. "Why do you want to know?" she queried. "The day that I arrived," said I, "your aunt came in from the garden with a pan of peas. As a botanist, you understand, not as a boarder, I would like to see the warm corner of Michi- gan where peas attain that size in the middle of June." Lucy Ann bent forward so that her face was hidden by the edge of the gray sunbonnet. I observed that her hands,which were clothed In the re- markable gloves that she had worn 'the first time I saw her, were some- what tightly clinched. I began to laugh. "You won't say anything about this," she said, looking up. "Promise me you won't." "I cross my heart," said I. "Well, then," she whispered, leaning forward, "my aunt hasn't any garden. What's the use? It doesn't make any difference how nice stuff one can raise in a garden, there's always somebody who can raise better -somebody who makes a profession of it. My aunt says that this Is the age of specialists. Her boarders are very select; they wouldn't stand amateur vegetables. That's the way she puts it." "But they stand amateur cake," said I, "and I will fight any three men in Michigan who dare to assert that it isn't the best in the world." "Bless your heart!" exclaimed Lucy Ann. "I'm not an amateur. I've stud- ied at the best cooking schools in Chi- cago. I can show you my diplomas!' "Nothing could add weight to your word," said 1, "not even the cake It- • self, for that's too light. But about this garden" - "You'd have guessed anyway," she said. "I had to tell you. My aunt goes across to time other road and meets a market wagon. It comes out from the best market in St. Jo, and the man who keeps it buys an extra fine quality of everything for her. Ile knows just where to send for things. Our boarders don't understand botany; they're city people. Why, my aunt went out the other day into that strip of woods and calve back with some cantaloupes from North Carolina, and Miss What's -her- name -eve forgotten; the blue eyed girl who went out a few minutes ago - put one of them up to Ler face and said: 'How lovely! It Is still cool with the dew.' I suppose the marketnian had had it on ice. But it was a good cantaloupe just the same." "Your aunt le a genius," said 1, with deep feeling; "I knew it as soon as 1 saw the most approved modern springs on the antique bedstead in my room." "I doubt if the bedstead's any older than the springs," said Lucy Ann. "We try to be up to date in everything." "Your aunt's business principles are Up to date;, I'll make oath to that," said L "And now for the flowers. Have you Any wild rose bushes with laeque- minots spliced on to the branches?" "I thought you were going to givo them to a lady." said Lucy Ann after a thoughtful pause. "Such was my Intention:' "Then they must be honest roses," said she, "and yeti trust do some honest work to get thetn for her." "I was th!nklug of getting them with the work that my father has done," said L "That was surely hon- est, as you'd say In n animate If you knew him, But If you think the lady would appreciate qty own efforts, tell me where the rosea grow." "There's .a pldce on the teat end of the lake," she said, "but I'm afraid you couldn't find It. It's queer." "And the best posies grow there?" "You'll say they are the prettiest wild robe! you ever haw," she cried, with Comfortable Living WiTH A Chatham Incubator Poultry raising with a Chatham Incubator is a very profitable and easily managed occupation. Unless you want to go into it extensively it need take but very little of your time. Government reports show that the demand for chickens in Canada is greatly in excess of the supply and Great Britain is always clamoring for more. That means a steady market and good prices for chickens. You cannot raise chickens success- fully with a setting hen. She is wast- ing time setting when she should be laying. While she is hatching and brooding a few chickens she could be laying five or six dozen eggs. The percentage of chickens she hatches is much less than that produced by the Chatham Incubator. It will pay you to own a Chatham Incubator. Chatham Incubators contain every improvement of importance in Incu- bator construction that has been pro- duced. They are made of thoroughly seasoned wood, with two walls, case within case. Between these walls mineral wool is packed forming the very best insulation. Each piece of the case is mortised and grooved and screwed, making the whole as solid as a rock. Chatham Incubators are equipped with scientifically perfect regulators which are an infallible means of regulating the temperature. No cash to pay until October, 1905. We will start you raising poultry for profit with a Chatham Incubator a or without one cent of money from you until next Fall. That means that you can take off seven or eight hatches and make considerable m6ney out of the Incubator before the first payment becomes due. We couldn't make this offer if we were not certain that if you accept it you will get complete satisfaction, if we were not positive that the Chatham Incubator will pay you a handsome YY earl income. This is a straightforward offer. We make it to show our suprenme confi- dence in the Chatham Incubator. We want you to accept this offer as we are sure of the satisfaction our Incu- bator will. iveEverymachine we g have put out so far has made other sales in the same neighborhood Our offer is to send you a Chatham Incubator at once, freight prepaid by us without one cent of cash from you. You make your first payment in October, 1905. The balance to be paid In October, 1906, or if a Cash Buyer you get it cheaper. Could any offer be fairer or more generous?

She writes us as follows t- gentiem6n,-1 feel it my duty to ex- press to veil the benefit I have derived from Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills. A year ago last spring I began to have heart failure. At first I would have to Atop working, and lie dawn for a while. I then got so bad that I had to give up altogether and go to bed. I had several doctors to attend me, but they did Me no good. I got no relief until urged by h friend to try Milburn'[ Heart and Nervi Pills. I sent to the store for a box, and by the timed had taken three- quarters of it 1 began to get relief, and by the timo 1 had taken ihrer. boxes I was completely oured. I feel der grateful to your meditates for what tt has done for me. -Miss L. L. Ealtsos, Waterside, Nit" Price 110 Cents per box, of a for Stn. All Deniers or Tits T. Ninon to Co., LIMtTZD, Toronto, Ont. Somehow this struck me as very hard pines and re -enforced my suspicion that the genial Mrs. Witherspoon was a slave driver in dlsgulse. "Mr. Trask is always wanting me to go !tete or there with him and Miss Jones," said Lucy inn 'Valk about a stickler for propriety -there's one," "Trask?" I cried. "Well, he doesn't look It." "Neither de you," said Lucy Ann de- murely, "and yet you are, you know. But 1 was speaking about Miss Jones. She is so awfully particular she won't do anything, and she drags Inc out on all occasions to sit with her and Mr. Trask. Of course inn wlllilmg enough. Oh, there comes -auntie back from the garden." I looked at Lucy Ann closely, almost anxiously. "You don't like Miss Jones very well, do you?" said I. But Lucy Ann protested that she thought kiss Jones wits one of the loveliest girls ever created, an object of envy to all others and quite unap- proachably perfect. Yet my opinion was unshaken, and I began to feel a, certain aniinosity against Trask. "Are they sweet on each other?" I asked. Lucy Ann shook her head, not nega- tively, but as one who considers the whole question. "I don't think they're engaged," said she et last. "Do you?" The last two words had notable forts, though they were spoken softly. "They might be married," said I, "they're so blue." "I don't titinl: they'd be blue if they were married," said she, as if my worn joke were worthy of serious con- sideration. "They're very handsome, both of them. Don't you think so?" "Beauty soon fades," said I, "espe- cially under the conditions which you ' indicate. But between ourselves I don't think Trask is so touch. IIe's got a fine head, of course, but his eye is cold, Under certain circumstances I think he could show himself selfish and heartless." "I guess you're jealotis of him," said Lucy Ann, with a laugh, but I discreet- ly refrained from making any guesses of my own. Mrs. Witherspoon came up at this moment, having gathered vegetables in several different states during her ab- sence. I presented my plea for Lucy Ann and carried it, though with diffi- culty. Y As a result we walked down the long path that afternoon and embarked in the very boat that had behaved so bad- ly with me on the previous evening. Lucy Ann took the steering ropes and sat up primly against the backboard. She had exchanged her gray garb for what I took to be her best summer gown. It was white, with a white sunbonnet to match, somewhat more coquettishly designed and worn, too, than the gray one. . "Are you going to give thorn to her yourself?" she asked. It was the first utterance on either side since we Lads of into the boat, and it had au effect of suddenness which prevented my understanding it. "Give what to whom?" said 1. "Oh, the roses. I'd almost forgotten them." "Well, you're a nice one!" responded Lucy Ann. "I thought this was very sentimental." "It is very romantic," said I. "These roses are for a young lady whom I never saw -that is, I don't know wheth- er I ever saw her or not." "That's queer," said she, with height- ened interest. "You don't mean" - And she waved her hand toward the orchard, which was coming abeam. I nodded affirmatively and then instinc- tively glanced in the direction she had indicated. The fair artist was almost in the precise spot where I had first seen her at work, but on this occasion the umbrella planted in the ground ob- structed my vision even more than it had done before. I could see the green skirt, but not the pretty hand that wielded the paint brush until, in rest- ing, she let it fall by her side. "I wonder what's the matter with that girl," said Lucy Ann. "It doesn't seem healthy to me to live like that, all alone. Goodness! She won't be young again! I should think she'd want to get out where there are lots of people and where she can have a good time. I'll have a fit living the way 'she does. I'd feel like the poor, lonesome calf that's tethered up in our back pasture so that tite boarders can think we raise our own milk." "Perhaps she sees enough people in the winter," I suggested,. "I've got no patioimcei,with girls that mope," said she, "nor with any kind of people that get tired of the sight of humanity. I don't see enough." "That's why you're so tolerant," I replied, "and so much interested. Yet, between ourselves, I think you're right. I came out here to be alone; I wanted to live in that house, as she does, and yet I'm glad 1 didn't, I'm glad to have met Trask and Scovel and Derringer and you, of course, and your aunt, who is the greatest Creature of her kind ever born." "I'm glad to hear you talk so," answered Lucy Ann. "Our boarders as a rule are en unsociable lot. We make a specialty of that sort, but I wouldn't wish to eatth their ways, I've been afraid 0f It." "T)on't," said I. "There is nothing in it. Be frank, sincere, earnest, un- selfish, busily employed, and then you won't mope.' "That's good advice," answered Lucy Ann, "batt I can't help roretnbering that yeti Ore going to get roses for another kind of girl." "I will give you one," Bald I; "more, If you Want thein." "That isn't fair," she rejoined. "I shall accept no fee for being your pilot. But how will you send the roses to her, and what put the idea into your head? No, no! Of course I ought not to ask tach 8 question, and it Isn't necessary, anyhow; "Mr 'Isn't it necessss, l" 7 "I guess you know who she is," said ++4++++++++4++♦++++++P++++ 4414141.14141444♦4r4444444 Lucy Ann,. "'Do gout" "Or course I do." I stopped rowing. "Now, it's no use asking me quer- 4 tions," she cried. "I won't tell you anything. Perhaps you don't know, after all. Jimmy says you don't." "jimmy 15 a fount of wisdom," said I. "but not such a beep one as lie would have you believe. But as to the girl, suppose I make a guess?" "Well, you must think I'm pretty shallow," said Lucy Ann, "Guessing is a child's trick, and I warn you that 1 am too old to betray a secret. My aunt would tether me up In the pasture with the calf for the rest of the summer if I did such a thing." "I will not risk subjecting you to such a fate," said I. "We will say no more about it." For a matter of three minutes we said no more about it; we preserved a com- plete silence. Then Lucy Ann remark- ed, as if it had been the result of turn- ing over many things in ber mind: "She sings beautifully, doesn't she?" "No doubt about that," I replied. "She sang to me last evening." "Yes, she did," said Miss Wither- spoon, with tbat peculiar inflection which denotes the extreme of incredul- ity. "Honest," said I, and then told the story, though I did not think it neces- sary to disclose that there was any special meaning in the songs that the girl and I had chosen. "It was very romantic," said Lucy Ann, and then there was another si- lence until we were very near the shore. when she asked if I would sing to her some day. "I love music," site added somewhat hurriedly. "I never hear enough.:tMr. Trask sings a little, but he doesn't seem to care much about it." "Art, and hiss Jones"- I began, but broke oft to look behind me at the shore for a good landing place. "Sometimes I'm in doubt how much he cares for either," sald she. "If I were a man and loved a woman, I would simply take her. I wouldn't let anything stand in the way." "Not eveu the girl herself?" "Mighty few girls ever refuse that kind of a man, "said Lucy Ann, with such a quaint and pretty assumption of wisdom that I laughed with slider good humor and shook both her hands as we rose to get out of the boat. The roses grew in themidstf n ex- traordinary o a e b tr:aordinary jumble of rocks, and the scent of them was exceedingly delicate, yet pervasive. I scarcely noticed it at first, but after standing for half a min- ute upon the rocks near the shore I seemed to be breathing a new and glori- fied atmosphere appropriate to another and better planet. "I can get all you want in half a min- ute," said the girl, springing lightly up the rocks. "Just the Jt st bold t e boat." "But there's no hurry," I called. "Wait: I'll be with you in a second. Can I smoke?" "Certainly. Light your cigar. You can smoke in the boat afterward." "We'll sit on the rocks awhile," said I. "There's plenty of time. Why, what's the matter?" She had jumped to the top of a little rock, and it seemed to me that she was shivering. "It's nothing," she replied. "I thought I saw a snake, but I didn't, I'm aw- fully afraid of them." "Are there any snakes oxer here?" said I, and then as her expression an- swered me I asked, "What kind?" "Copperheads and" - "St. Patrick's day in the morning!" 1 exclaimed, and for the time of most of that utterance I was in the air. I alighted on a rock near her and, reaching across, took her by the arm. "You go straight back to the boat," said I, and she had to go, for I led her firmly and did not release her arm un- til she was fairly aboa'1l the skiff, pleading, protesting, l ughing, her hands full of the most beautiful roses. "What do you mean," said I, looking sternly down at her, "by going up there I returned to the boat with my harvest of roses. into that den 'of serlrerits and -leaving me down here to burn' tobacco while, they were killing you NoW, don't venture to stir until I come back." "There's no danger if you're careful," Mid she, and then when I was among the roses: "I knew you'd do just like that -thrashing around in the bushes and trying to get bitten. Anybody meld (novo seen how reckless you Were." I was indeed in no Mood to exhibit the virtue of prudence. "Be tranquil," said I. 'There isn't n snake in the world that can catch me, though an - Aber animal might by running at the sante rate." "I don't understand," saki she. "1 can run three times as fast from I shake as trona anything elite that elves," I explained. "There isimple, 'sn't it? There! Now we have enough." I returned to the boat with my bar• teat of mites and add them to hem (To he oontinued.) 4 DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME E ♦ we Orangemen, and especially us P. P.
