Hi A GARDES PAIH.
It was a balmy afternoon in April;
the scene was tin; garden of "• small
010 t.i.-liSo'U'.'d Keutlsli farm bouse.
-V ■ '.i, gray eyed, russet haired. In
a dutr.ty blue frock, sat with some
aoiU.e work ou u rustic bench in the
sunniest spot. To and fro, between its
hilsiivss and the gate that oi>ened ou
•he green hedged road, seainpered a
kit ten, madly frolicking with a stolen
feci of cotton.
Suddenly, with arched back and
swollen tail. "Fluffy" stopped short,
changed in an Instant from the very
Incarnation of grace and innocence to
an embodiment of feline hatred and
malice, and all uucliaritableness.
The cause of the transformation—a
big St. Bernard dog—stood at the gate
still blinking in lordly good humor at
the little white fury.
l'ussy, however, continued to spit
and swear in impotent wrath until
she provoked a short warning bark
from the Intruder, accompanied by a
smart pat from a big paw.
And then, ere Annie Bristowe could
reach them. Fluffy, wild with passion,
literally flew at her foe. There was
an tiugry growl—a snap—a Bhrill
squeak—a vision of white fur tossing
to and fro, and then the St. Bernard
was growling sullen defiance to all
anil sundry over the lifeless body of
the kitten.
"you great savage monster!" cried
Annie, tearfully, as she bent over poor
Fluffy; "If only I weren't afraid, I'd
beat you within an inch of your life!"
But punishment.—swift, sudden, con
dign—had already overtaken the cul
prit at the hands of a stalwart, fair
mustucbed you rig man, in a tourist
suit, who had arrived breathless on
the scene of action.
Then, while the St. Bernard whim
pered in undignified fashion, the
stranger, advancing, raised his cap
and said penitently:
"Your kitten, I'm afraid, Is quite
dead Fm more than sorry that Hollo
should have so misbehaved. He has
the reputation of being a well coißluc
ted dug, as a rule. I assure you."
"Indeed," retorted Annie, with polite
incredulity, and waxing furious as she
detected an a mused smile, which he
hail been unable wholly to suppress,
hoverlug about the young man's
mouth, at sight of her tragic distress.
"Indeed? I should hardly have thought
a well behaved or properly trained dog
would have rushed in that murderous
way at an inoffensive little kitten."
She paused, half defiant, hall" usham
ed f the petulant speech, while the
smile vauislied from the other's face.
"Pardon me," he said distantly; "I
regret the affair as much as you do;
"out 1 think you will admit that ilolio
•was not, at all events, the aggressor.
1 saw the beginning of the fray,
•though, unfortunately, too late to—"
"I see!" Annie broke in scornfully;
you were near enough to witness if
all, but too far off, or unwilling, to
prevent mischief!"
And picking tip the dead body of her
favorite she turned abruptly toward
the house. With truly feminine logic
she grew momentarily more furious
us she realized how completely she
had managed to put herself in the
wrong by her childish outbreak.
Hollo's master took a step forward,
then paused irresolutely.
"Confound it 'all," he muttered.
"This Is evidently the place, too. A
promising introduction, upon my
word."
He raised his voice: "But —er—stop,
please, one moment!"
She turned In grim silence.
"This Is Sweetbriar farm, I think?"
"Yes."
"And I have the pi—honor of ad
dressing Miss Bristowe. perhaps?"
A stiff Inclination of her head wns
the only reply vouchsafed by Annie.
"Then I'm afraid—l mean. I believe
—that is—" he stammered awkward
ly—"l am John Morton: Mrs. Bristowe
did not expect mo so early, but—"
Aunic altered a little cry of dismay.
It was the "paying guest," as her
mother delighted to phrase it; for
whose reception poor Mrs. Bristowe,
worn out with the uutading struggle
to make "both ends meet," hiul been
preparing so hopefully— and th.s was
his welcome!
"No." she answered blankly, "she
didn't. You wrote us to expect you
by the 0.40 train, thtec hours front
.BOW! We were going re tend tha : I", p
to meet you nt the station. However,"
forcing a hospitable smile to her lips,
though bop eyes were, if possible, more
resentful than ever, "since yen have
found your way here by yourself, pray
come In. You are just in time for
•tea. and mother." with Ironic empha
sis. "will bo only too pleased lo see
you!"
Still bearing FlufTy's limp little body
she led Hie way. ceremoniously, to the
quaint tvy-hung porch, .Tr,hn Morton
following in half aroused, halt em
barrassed silence, while Rollo pattered
dejectedly behind.
A week later found their visitor on
<he best of terms with all the mem
ber* ot the Brlstowo family, from the
kindly faced, shiftless farmer down
ward—save Annie, who, though she
-hud forgiven Hollo, the original cause
of the unpleasantness, had emended
but n superficial forglvcnness toward
his master. She couldn't bring herself
.to pardon John Morton for the mlshe-
Ihavlor of which, in her inmost heart,
•Klie knew herself guilty. Unreasona
ble, certainly, but human nature for
all that
"I can't imagine," Mrs. Bristowe
diaid, fretfully, in private, "why you
can't behave with ordinary civility to
'Mr. Morton; you cau be so agreeable
.■when you choose. You know, too, how
tlrs port ant it is that he should be made
jto feel at home, and yet-you persist
-in wounding and annoying him by a
thousand small discourtesies."
"Don't be afraid, mother," Annie an
swerod flippantly. "oce It's a buat
tivvfi renter, I'll lie as sweet as sugar
to him henceforth- in buslntss hours!
DU'y. JIS I can't g r.ectly profess to

him a kil'l liiat, heavy as the big wn
icfing pot is. I'd rather carry it round
the garden • very evening myself than
have him marching solemnly about the
beds with mo!"
'■Dear, dear," sighed Mrs. Bristowe,
as Annie loft the room with a saucy
laugh, "how contrary things do go in
tills world. Such a nice, unaffected
fellow, and the place has been so
cheerful again sine he came. If only
we could have made It comfortable for
him, we might have counted on his
coming regularly for his holidays, and
I do believo that jie admires Annie,
and—but, there, it's no use thinking
about it!"
Ono morning, a few days later, An
nie was busied up <ia:rs with the small
mnld-of-all-work in bed-making, dust
ing and tidying generally—there were
no Idlers In this modest household.
Presently Sarah summoned her in a
stage whisper from John Morton's
room.
"Do'ee Just come here a moment,
Miss Annie; look nt this, now! It has
Just dropped out of his coat as I wa3
hanging it up."
"This" was the photograph of a pi
quant, dark-eyed girl in Pierrette cos
tume, and on the hack of the card
were the words. "With Dolly's fond
est. love to dear old .Tack."
"It's his young lady. Miss, I reckon;
don't you?" said Sarah, with a de
lighted giggle. "My, aint she hand
some, too?"
"Put It back at once!" said Annie,
severely, disregarding the handmaid
en's inquiry. "Mr. Morton would lie
very vexed, no doubt, to flnd it lying
about."
"It wouldn't lie sister of his. Miss
Annie, now?" asked Sarah, as she
slowly restored lie photograph to its
hiding place.
"No," came the reply In an Indiffer
ent tone. "Their names are Mary and
Helen—l have ln-ard him speak of
tip-til once or two
Of course, Jehu Morton's love af
fairs could have en possible interest
for Annie. Yet,, with a curious feeling
of annoyance, she found herself more
than once that day speculating about
the original of the photograph.
Another fortnight passed, aud the
family learned with regret that their
visitor's stay was raring its close,
as business claim u his presence in
London.
Annie listened with an Illogical sink
ing of the heart, but did not join in'
the chorus of dismayed expostulations
which greeted the announcement.
On the morning of John Morton's
departure she was sitting In the kitch
en garden with a heap of green goose
berries in her lap, which she was dili
gently "topping and tailing." The
thrush was piping as cheerily as ever
from the bottom of the garden, but
somehow the Jubilance of his song
was lost on Anulr.
As the gooseberries droppc-d, each
with an emphatic little bounce Into
the big brown dish, Hollo came up,
gravely wagging bis tail, with a big
covered basket between his teeth.
Attached was a card which read:
"A peace offering rrom Hollo and bis
lasaur."
Annie unfastened the wicker lid,
und discovered a sleeping while kit
ten, the very double of the hapless
Fluffy.
• • • • •
"I'm very glad you've forgiven me."
said John .Morton wistfully, as she
thanked liini in grave, sweet tynes for
the gift.
"Don't speak of T.at," she rejoined
quickly. "It is I who need pardon, for
I'm afraid I've been rather—unpleas
ant during your stay."
"Suppose, theii," came the prompt
reply, "that you give me something
in token of penitence—a bunch of lilac,
say."
She hesitated, then, with a hard lit
tle laugh, in which there was yet a
perceptible tremble, she reached up to
the fragrant blooms.
John Morton watched her in silence,
then said awkwardly: "My younger
sister Dolly—Helen. I should say, but
the old childish tn>me drops out una
wares, sometimes -is very fond of li
lacs. and I promised to bring her a
hunch!"
His sister Dolly:
She turned a swift, startled glance
upon lilrj, and .T.,'rn Morton stooped
and took her in his arms.
* • •
"But you were guiug away; wo
should never have met again." said
Annie, a little later, ai, they stood by
the lilac bash.
"On the contrary." answered he,
cheerfully, "I had folly Intended to re
quest Mrs. Bristowe's hospitality for
another holiday time—and yet another,
if need were."—Our Home.
An Knciiffid nil! In Denmark.
"In Denmark a girl never knows the
pure, unadulterated Joy of receiving a
diamond engagement, ring," remarked
a returned traveller. "She gets a plain
gold band known as a wedding ring In
that country, and it is worn on her left
third finger. On the day of her mar
riage the bridegroom changes It to her
right third finger, which Is the mar
riage finger in that country of queer
customs. When the husband 'dies bis
widow changes her ring again to her
left third finger, and everybody knows
that she Is a widow. Being engaged
can't mean a greot deal of happiness
in Denmark any way you take It, for
a girl Is never uDdei any circumstan
ces permitted to see her betrothed one
minute alone." +

THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Stopped Short
of Insanity.
A young woman rescued in the nick of time from
a fate more terrible than death. Her friends had
despaired of saving her.
On the verge of insanity, Miss Hattie
King, of Ithaca, N. Y., was checked in
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends in
sound physical and mental health and
regained happiness.
The change for the better in this charm
ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
old, is so great that when she reappeared
in public ner friends could hardly believe
the evidence that their eyes clearly showed
them.
Miss King became greatly weakened
by a complication of physical troubles,
and was looked upon by her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles M. Burnett, tells
of her strange cure as follows;
"Hattie first complained of dizziness,-
which steadily grew worse.
" She suffered with nausea and attacks
of vomiting ) could keep but little on her
stomach.
" Kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when a drop was
drawn by the prick of a needle, was al
most as colorless as water.
"Her heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight exertion of
rising from bed or from a chair.
"She coughed continually, so that her
friends feared she was consumptive.
f"She lost flesh rapidly ) would be con
fined to her bed for two or three weeks at
a time.
" Her mind was affected. At times she
Shun Him.
Can you find a more despicable
character than the slanderer ? He is
the pestilential vapor in a healthy
atmosphere—a curse in the midst of
blessings—the serpent in paradise—
the devil among angels. How many
good, kind people have been infected
by his foul breath ; how many pure
reputations have been rendered ques
tionable by his dark insinuations and
diabolical innuendoes ? If there is a
being crawling on earth's surface who
deserves the scorn, derision and con
tempt of mankind, it is the slanderer.
Who does not loath and despise him?
Like the midnight assassin, he stabs
in the dark and makes shipwreck of
that which is dearer to you than life.
CATARRH FOR TWENTY YEARS AND
CURED IN A FEW DAYS.—Nothing too
simple, nothing too hard for Dr. Ag
new's Catarrhal Powder to give re
lief in an instant. Hon. George
James, of Scranton, Pa., says: "I
have been a martyr to catarrh for 20
years, constant hawking, dropping in
the throat and pain in the head, very
offensive breath. I tried Dr. Agnew's
Catarrhal Powder. The first applica
tion gave instant relief. After using
a few bottles all these symptoms of
catarrh left me.'' Sold by C. A.

" Get ap! yo' slab-sided, long
yeahed, good-fo'-nothin', yo'! " The
mule looked pained. " I can stand a
good deal," he remarked sotto voice,
" but when a man talks behind my
back, I kick." Thereupon he fur
nished a case for the Coroner of the
adjoining county.

had no realization o! what the was doing.
" We (eared she would have to be taken
to an asylum for treatment.
" The best physicians and many proprie
tary medicines failed to do her any good.
"We had read of wonderful cures by
Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
and at length decided to give them a trial.
We purchased some at the drug store of
White & Burdick, in Ithaca.
" Soon after she began taking the pills
Hattie began to improve. First her head
aches disappeared, then th* attacks of diz
ziness ceased and the cough likewise dis
appeared. One after another the alarming
symptoms left her.
"She gained steadily in weight and
rtreogth. The change for the better in
body and mind is almost incredible. In
all she has taken nine boxes of Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and now
she is in perfect health."
Mr. Burnett swore to the accuracy of
his account, formally, before C. R. wol
cott, a Notary Public.
When the blood is weakened and lacks
the elements needed to build up new tis
sues, body and mind both suffer, as in the
case of Miss King. All of the many dis
eases due to derangements of the blood
and nervous system are cured by Dr. Wil

supply in vegetable form the elements that
are lacking, and restore perfect health.
