Harry Chant, of ett Haskell Avenue,
Dallas, Teias.
"About fourteen or fifteen 'months ago
I was working with a gang of ineu and happened
to say to one of them, ' I hope it will not rain as
I have a big washing to do for the children.'
Theouen said, ' What is the matter with your

what the doctors called prolapsus of uterus. She
was nervous, had cold bawls and feet, palpita-
tion, headache, backache, conetipation, a disa-
greeable drain, with bearing down pains; no ap-
petite. She got so weak she could not get around.
I am only a laborer so was always in debt with
the doctors, and all for no good, as none did her
any good. We begfut to think that she was never
going to get well.
"I told this man what the doctors said was the
,matter with her." end he said " ' did you ever hear
im no, but I had tried so many patent medicines
hat I was tired of them ant and besides I did not

Reach, but Sterns was gone, swallowed up
in the stream of people on the street.
It was dusk when the young man reached
Morristown and Helen's home. Out of the
pale sky stars were shining, and the Orange
Mountains were but black serrated outlines
against the horizon, the intervening c.ountry
blotted out in darkness.
The hall door stood partly open, and he
halted, without ringing the bell to take one
unguarded glance within. A fire glowed on
the hearth, and Mrs.Lester set on the divan
before it, the hound crouthhed against the.
folds of her white drus. How the lights
glinted on the gold of her hair ! Stephens
had traced every line of her face on his
memory, but looking at it now, he saw that
it had -lost bloom and brilliance ; that her
eyes were grave and reflective in their gazet
her cheek thinner in outline. Her maid
tripped softly in. .
"Dear madame you'd feel stronger and
better if you'd take your dinner." -

" Why, madame) have other troubles

stood aside for him to pass her.
Helen rose, throat and face dyed crimson,

" There is no Mrs Stephens. Helen

herently, but earnestly, passionately. He
pulled. Abbie Leatrange's letter from his
pocket and spread it before her eyes. " I

night—the night—"
" The night I asked you to marry me,"
she murmured. " Do you know that I am

that she would be justified in doubting the
honesty of his motives, in 'taming him of
thinking of her fortune. 'She did not know
the nature of his affection for his cousin ;
she would not understand ; she could uot
see from his point of view. But he longed
to see her again, and when a week had pass-
ed he felt that hehnust seek her, no matter
what the cost might be.
So one afternoon with Miss Lestrange's
letter in his pocket', he went out to Morris-
town. He had.no well-planned explanation
conned ; he had no definite idea as to what
he should do or say when they met. He
tingled with the excitement of uncertainty
as he walked through the ample grounds to
the house, fresh and clean and harmonious
in every line and curve. A large fawn -
colored hound met him at the steps, and he
stopped to pat the creature's handsome
head, because he knew it to be one of
Helen's favorites. The silence of the place
seemed to close round him, to oppress him.
One could have said the house was unin-
habited, looking at its closed blinds. When
he rang the bell a middle-aged woman came
to the door. lie took out his card.
"Mrs. Lester at home ?" ,a -
He hesitated, then inquired, " When will
" Not for a long while. Didn't you know,
" Know what ?" he cried in some
agitation, his self-control ready to slip its
bounds.
" Mrs. Lester has gone to Europe."
" Nearly a week ago. Two days after
she came out here."
She eyed him with so'me curiosity, he
grew so pale, and waited for him to speak
again. Finally he said :
" Can you give me her address ? Where
she expected to stop ?"
In the following months Stephens suffered
all the fruitless torture the vain and pas-
sionate longing, of a full -hearted but ap-
parently hopeless love. Not all those seven
years of separation from eAbbie Lestrange
had inflicted one such pang that he endured
now, love had given her enlightenment, wis-
dom, when she wrote that he could not have
remained so long away from her had his
heart been in her keeping. They still ex-
changed an occasional affectionate letter.
When he received ber wedding cards, he
sent congratulations and a handsome pres-
sent, but declined to see her married. He
could not leave New York as long as there
was a chance of Helen Lester's return.
He called on Mr. Sims and asked for her
address ; but the old lawyer cautioualn re-
flected that if she had gone abroad without
leaving Stephens her address, it was plain
that she did not care for him to keep up
with her movements. He liked the young
architect, but to Helen he owed his loyalty.
So he evaded the request.
Stephena felt that he was being tried at
every point. He was tempted to go to
Europe and try to hunt her up, hut knew
that it would be a fruitless search. He fin-
ally settled down to something like patient
waiting. He did not try to forget Helen,
he had no desire to try, but he worked
hard, and his business increased slowly.
It was solid success, though, and his name
stood well with his brother architects. He.
paid occasional visits to Morristown, and
one unacquainted with the inner history
connected with Mrs. Lester's house would
have declared him enamoured of his own
skill, so surely would his steps turn in that
direction, so earnestly would he gaze on the
inansion while walking the roadways bound-
ing its grounds. But the shutters of 'the
windows were ever forbiddingly closed, and
the hound lay on the doorstep,. or walked
about the long, nobly pillared piazza, the
only living creature to be seen.
He liked the old town, and he was not
past admiring the architecture of some of its
houses, old and new. More than once he
walked down to St. Peter's—the new St.
Peter's church—designed by an old -estab-
lished firm of architects. in New York. It
was approaching completion, and he enjoy-
ed its grace and beauty, the airy tracery of
stone -work enclosing each pane of its atain
glass windows, the line of lofty pillars
dividing the chapel frotn the , main body of
the building. But he could not walk
through its silent interior; echoing with
every footstep, without thinking of Helen.
They had seen the foundations laid, and he
had told her what a fine piece of architec-
ture it would be, and they were to come and
see it when finished.
One day in the spring be met Mr. Adder -
ton Sims on lower Broadway, and the old
lawyer stopped him. He looked pale and
worried, as though the world had all gone
nWghat is the inatter, Mr. Sims ?" Step-
hens inquired, with concern.
" Helen Lester has lost all her money."
4 Really ?" -cried the young architect,
with a fiercely joyful leap of his heart.
" Yes, really, though I don't think you
need look so confoundedly glad of it."
" I am glad of it. It is the best news I
have heard ie a long time." And he laugh-
ed at the old lawyer's searching face.

The following letter written by the Rev.

Pills, and a perusal of it will suggest why

Dr. Williams' Medicine
DEAR SIRs,—I 'am glad to farnish you
the following voluntarily given .testimonial,
with the fullest permission to give the names
and place. They do this as a thank -offering
to God and your medicine. Mrs. Wm. War-
man, of Moine River, (near here) says her
son Alden was sickly from birth. He could
hardly ever retain food, and his parents
had but little hopes that he would livelong
and the doctors who attended him:were of the
same opinion. Till seven years of age he
.continued in that condition. Then the use
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills was begun, and,,
under them he recovered and is now a strong
healthy boy. Mr. Warman, the boy's fath-
er, also adds his testimonial to the great
value of Pink Pills, saying : " I suffered
for years with a bad back, until I used Dr.
Williams' Pink Pille and they cured me."
Miss Annie Warman adds this evidence
with enthusiasm and freedom. " I was
weak and sickly, and did not know the
blessing of good,health till I took Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. I used eight boxes and
have since enjoyed the best of health. In
fact I am never sick now."
Here you have three members of 'a family
restored to health by the use of your meth-
cine, and you would-almostcovettheir good
health and genial ways largelyresulting
from such health. They wish you to freely
use these facts to help other sufferers, and I
am able as their pastor to certify to the
facts above stated.
Sincerely yyours,
WM. LAwson,
Methodist Minister.

The Country Merchant.
Have you ever thought of the importance,
in the commercial world, of that somewhat
isolated, yet numerous, portion of the
business interests of the land the country
merchant.
Invariably a man of ambition to rise above
his condition, and usually one of tact and
ability, possessing goodsound senie and
reliable judgment, he is the representative
business man of his section, in whom the
people have confidence, and in such close
touch with the masses as to have a very
considerable influence in the moulding of
public opinion.
His store ie the neighborhood headquar-
ters and the forum for the discussion of all
questions of local or general importance,
from the latest local gossip to the designs of
the English upon Venezuela. The merchant
it is whose - opinion carries most weight in
these free-for-all debates,: and whose author-
ity, especially upon questions of business
policy, sis seldom dispute He is consulted
on matters of law and ethics, is the'arbitra-
tor of the neighborhood i quarrels, trusted
with family secrets, and frequently made
the banker of the surplus funds of the com-
munity.
He it is who takes the city daily, knows
all about the latest sensations, the doings of
congress, the dealings on 'change, and the
prospects of crops. He is frequently justice
of the peace and postmaster, sitting in
judgment on the misdeeds of the erring,
and frequently remaining the government's
agent through successive administrations,
except where the interests of the people are
sacrificed to partizan selfishness.
The man who " runs the store " at the
country crossroads must be master of many

suppose todzie posted on the market price
of all the produce of the section, a good
judge of everything handled in his Moro, a
judieions buyer and an industrious seller.
He must be familiar with the ruling fashions
and the latest fads, from needle pointed
shoes to tell orown hats., This he must
learn by close obtervations on his occasional
visits to the city markets, through the in-
dispensable trade journal, whose informa-
tion and teachings are the ohart by which
he guides his vessel through die uncertain
and oft -times turbulent commercial sea, and
by the aid of the trusted commercial travel-
ler, that essential connecting link betwee
his little community and the great worl
outsid?, and upon whom he has often to de-
pend like a sailor upon his compms, and
with the same confident assurance of guid-
ance to a safe harbor.
His business is essentially a personal
undertaking. He is not hidden behind
glazed office doors, beyond the reach of
patrons, as is his city brother, whose per-
sonality is often unknown to hundreds of
his .customers. The country merehant's
dealings are through direot, and necessarily,
friendly contact with the people whom he
treats With on terms of equality, and with
whose tastes and peculiarities, whose condi-
tion and general surroundings, he" familiar

Awake.
How She Knew.
A little girl, six years old, was on• a visit
to her grandfather, who was a New England
divine, celebrated for his logical powers.
" Only think, grandopa, what Uncle Rob
says,"
' Whist does he say, my dear ?" -
" Why, he says the moon is made of green
n " Well, child, suppose you find out for
yourself."
" Get your Bible and see what it says."
" Where shall I begin ?"
" Begin at the beginning."
The child sat down to read the Bible.
Before she got more than half through the
second chapter of Genesis, and had read
about the creation of the stars and the
animals, She came hack to here grandfather,
her eyes all bright with the excitement of
discoveiy.. " rye found it, grandpa. It
isn't true ; for God made the moon before
he made 00W8."
Soldiers in an enemy's countrywillnotstarve
if there are chickens and pigs to be"captur-
ed " -and rail fences to supply fuel. Of
course such irregular foraging is against
orders though commanding officers have,
been known to speak, like Orator Puff, with
two voices. One day, at the beginning of
ment caught one qf the boys stealing apples
from a tree, at the foot of which the Com
federate owner stood remonstrating. "Come
down from that tree and don't be caught
here again," shouted the colonel, and then
in an undertone, " till, you want more
apples." s
Chaplain Acbott, in his history of the
First New Hampsnire Regiment, tells a
good story of General Phelps, which illus-
trates the " two voices " of that eccentric
Vermonter.
The Eighth New Hampshire, while in
Louisanna enjoyed excellent health, owing
to the fact' that they knew Where the juicest
pigs and the tenderest chickens= were to be
found.
A newly arrived Vermont regiment, on
the other hand, suffered so much from
scurvy owing to a lack of fresh meat, as to
attract the attention of General Phelps.
Meeting the Commissary Sergeant, of the
Vermonters, the general, in his squeaking
voice, called out :
" What on airth ails you fellers that you
are dying off so ? Look at the Eighth
New Hampshire • they are not lying around
like sick mules. 'You go and ask them how
they live and follow their example." 1
The sergeant inquired and at once se-
cured a detail for foraging. But wanting
in ' experience they were caught by the
Provost Guard and brought before General
Phelps, who gave them a severe lecture for
pillaging.
" But, general," interposed the Commie-
sary Sergeant, smarting under the rebuke,
" Yes, !did," roared the irritated gener-
al, " but I didn't tell you to get caught,
you fools 1"
Now and then - a daring soldier would
run across the line, while the guard was
in dvertently looking in another direction.
0 his return he would he challenged :
" A friend, with chickens."
" Advance, friend, and drop a chicken."
Good Reason for Marrying.
In the north of England, where rabbit-
couraing is much in vogue, swift, well-train-
ed dogs often win large Rums in prizes. It
is, therefore, little. to he wondered at that
the owners of these animals should bestow
so much attention upon them. An old
Yorshire collier, well-known for his success
in the coursing field, recently surprised all
his mates by marrying a very unpreposeess-
ing woman. He had always been reckoned
a confirmed hater of the other sex. " Wby
has ta gone and got spliced, lad,at thy age?
one of his friends asked him. " Oh, that's
not much of a tale," answered the old man,
stolidly. " I agree wi' ye 'at Betsy yonder
is no beauty—if she had been I shouldn't
have wed her. But that there dog o' mine,
he was simply pinin' for somebody to look
after him while I was away at t' pit. I
couldn't bear to leave him in the house by
hissen, so I hit on the idea of marryin
Betsy. She's not handsome but she's
mighty good company for' the 'dog !"
