While usually the paper does not contain quite so much fictional mat ter .ind more news, however we wished in this issue to give a goodly amount of the new serial, therefore we scrimped the news a little. Think of it! Township news, County news, State news, Nation al news and World news all done lip in pit by paragraphs, with plenty t good literature to match, and all or only seventy-live cents a year. N'o other paper anywhere near so -ood can be had at such a low During the month of Aug d no longer, we will do still In clubs of two or more, ldvance, we will send the into each one in the club :ents per annum. Endorses Tener. 1 here is aj least one Democratic liewswaper in the State that looks upon the present political situation in a fair light. The Wilkes- 15arre livening News, in an editorial con cerning the Republican gubernator candidate Tener, says in part: ''Congressman Tener. like Gov ernor Stuart, has had an honorable business career, and the pledges lie makes the citizens of his State this afternoon we feel convinced he will live up to to the letter. His past lile is a sullieient guarantee that he can be depended upon to carry out the great trust, that will be imposed upon him next Novem ber. Th'e opposition is fast going to pieces. Factional discord lias rent the ranks of the malcontents asun der and there does not seem to l>e the least doubt about the selection of Charleroi's first citizen to lie the next Governor of Pennsylvania. THE YOUNG MAN FROM WYOMING AT EAGLES MERE. A SULLIVAN COUNTY NOVELETTE. BY THOMAS J. INGHAM. CHAPTER ONE. The locomotive shrieked fiercely, and the bell sounded loudly as the train moved up to the Muncy Valley depot, at a time when the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad terminated at that station. Coaches were backed up to the platform, and drivers beckoned with their whips, calling, "Passengers for Eagles Mere this way." The travelers who alighted from the cars were people escaping from the scorching air and heated pavements of cities to the invigorating air of the mountains. The coaches were soon loaded and on their winding way up the outlet of the lake, under leafy arches made by primeval forest trees. The clear stream tumbled over rocks in foaming little rapids, and then lingered in crystal pools—resorts of beautiful brook trout which inhabited its waters. 1 he coaches made good progress up the narrow dug way which skirted the brook for several miles, until they came to a crossing of the stream near the summit, where an axle broke, and the forward coach was precipitated down a steep bank to the creek below. A gentleman who was riding in tlie seat with the driver seized a tree as he fell, and holding fast to it, escaped without injury. The driver, less active or less for tunate, was badly bruised, though none of his bones were broken. Two ladies were in the coach; and the gentleman who had saved himself so dexterously was there in a moment to assist them. '1 he younger lady was shrieking with fright and pain; the other lady was self-possessed and quiet, but so seriously injured that she could not move without assistance. Quickly perceiving which lady first needed hi> help, the gentleman took the quiet lady in his arms and carried her from the bed of the creek up the steep bank to a dry, shady place where she could rest, and then returning, assisted the younger lady to the same place. By this time passengers from the other coaches were there, and it soon appeared that the lady most seriously injured had her ankle broken. Inquiries were made tor a surgeon, but none seemed to be near. Then the gentleman who had been so helpful said to the lady who was bearing her pain with uncomplaining fortitude, "Madam, it is better for you to have your broken limb set at once, and if you will permit me. 1 can do it." She thanked him and begged him to proceed at once. I'rom a tree which had been twisted down by the wind he cut "splints, which he whittled smooth with his knife; then from his satchel brought forth linen—torn perhaps from a garment —which he made into bandages. With these ma terials and evident skill he reduced the fracture and bound it up. He complimented the lady for her patience and pow ers of endurance, and she returned her thanks. 1 he passengers in the other coaches made room for their unfortunate fellow travelers, and they were conveyed to the commodious hotels at Eagles Mere. Ihe gentleman who had made himself so useful registered his name, "Ellicott Lessing ham, New York," and requested the proprietor of the hotel to send for a competent surgeon to attend the injured ladies. \\ lien the surgeon who was called had examined the in juries and observed the bandaged limb, he remarked, "There is not much left for me to do; the one who did this work has done it well." He then sought an interview with Mr. Lessingham in his room, and said, "Doctor, excuse me for intruding, but 1 have been called to see some patients that you have been treating, and I wish to consult with you about them." Mr. Lessingham replied. "You need not call me 'Doctor;' 1 am n< > doctor." "I beg your pardon," returned the surgeon, "but indeed I know thai the one who reduced that fracture has had a surgeon's training." "Well, as to that." replied Lessingham, "I will not deny that I have had some training in surgery, but 1 never practice unless in some emergency where no better help is attainable." "It would be well," said the Doctor courteously, "if all who are in emergency could find such skilful help." "1 claim no credit," said Lessingham, "and I do not want any of the responsibility to rest upon me." After supper Mr. Lessingham glanced at the hotel regis ter and observed the names of his companions in the wrecked coach as follows: Mrs. A. Belois, Philadelphia. Miss Jane lluey, Philadelphia. lie noticed with a little twinge of disappointment that the name of his patient was prefixed "Mrs." instead of "Miss." lie made no comment, however, but strolled towards the beautiful blue lake. Mrs. Brown, Miss James and other ladies standing on the veranda observed him as he passed. One of them inquired who he was. Miss James replied he was the gentleman who assisted Mrs. Belois after she was hurt in the smashup. "\\ ell, said Mrs. Brown, "he is a fine looking man." "lie is strong and active too." replied Miss James; "you ought to have seen him carrying Mrs. Belois up that steep hill." I wonder, said Mrs. Brown, "if he is any relation to Mrs. Belois." "lie is not," replied Miss James; "they had never spoken together before the accident." "Where is he from?" inquired another ladv. "I le registered as from New York City," said Miss James, "and that is all we know about him here." I he morning after the accident Mr. Lessingham received a note from Mrs. Belois requesting him to call and see her. lie obeyed the summons and found the injured limb doing as well as could be expected. After expressing her thanks again. Airs. Belois said, "Now, Doctor, you must not desert me; 1 want you to give your attention to this limb until it is out of danger." Mr. I -essingham answered. "I am not a doctor, Mrs. Belois; I was glad to serve you the best I could when no surgeon was within reach, but you have a professional sur geon now and my services are not needed." "But, Doctor—excuse me, 1 can't help but call you Doctor—l think you know more about surgery than the country doctor we had here last night. 1 will gladly pav you charges if you will attend to my case." ''Your offer to pay me, Mrs. Belois, is very kind, but I re peat it, I am not a doctor and have no right to take pay." "Well," responded Mrs. Belois pathetically, "1 am afraid if you leave me 1 shall be lame for life. It would be dreadful for me togo limping around with a cane all the rest of my days. Now, while you stay here, can't you come and assist the doctor? Oh," she added, and her eyes filled with tears, " 1 shall be a thousand times obliged if you will come." lie answered, smiling, "You quite overrate my skill, but it will really give me much pleasure to do all 1 can for you." Mr. Lessingham saw in her moist eyes thanks deeper (Continued on page 3.) ESTELLA. Rovilo Mulnix is moving his family to the home of his mother in-law. He will farm for Mrs. Hugo in the future.
