"Girls don't like to be courted through their parents." So Ferguson called every evening. His deliberate compliment and languishing glance set her wild with resentment. Two weelAl Why hadn't she said two months' Surely the hours were racing by. It seemed to her the day fairly galloped out i f sight. Her fath'T grew more haggard more de pressed. She used to catch him watching her furtively. Ferguson would stave ott failure, would build up his business, would t his credit on a firm basis, if only 1W hJ been a good father to her. ISbe would probably never fall in love anyway, l'er hapi she ought to do as he wished there he ihuddered. The fateful day of her decision arrived. ,A glorious day it was, crisp and golden, with a rollicking wind scurrying along State itreet and playing pranks at the corner 'where towers the -Masonic temple. Just !thre it swirled a girl's skirts around her ilender ankles, and not content with this Audacity snatched off her veil and llirted it out of reach. Hut a tall young man in a gray suit gave prompt pursuit. "O, thank you!" cried Barbara Hcssinger, blushing, 'when he stood before her, hat in hand, re 'turning the truant triile. "You are very Vusdl" ' A murmured deprecation, a lingering, elo quent look of admiration, a deep bow, and he was lost iu the crowd, liar bar a went 'home in a strange state of exhilaration. Some little ones at the gate offered her ; roses. She took the roses and kissed the children. She had never thought Uower tad child faces so beautiful before. She iuund herself singing a she ran upstair. She was startled by the loveliness of her own reflection in the glass. Why did she feel so happy, why Suddenly she seemed to see again the homage of those flashing blue eyes. Nol She surely was not so till)' as that! In delicious, girlish shame the pressed her slim fingers over her eyes to ihut out those others. Hut they would sot bo barred. They gazed inko hers still! All at once a dreadful thought thrilled 'her. To-night Giles Ferguson would come for hit answer! ' A sharp sense of repulsion overwhelmed liar. She could not marry him! She would lot. She bathed, coiled her dark hair ttreih, went down to dinner in a gown of roty lawn. At eight o clock the hopeful uitor made hit appearance, lie wore a brand new auit. and was apparently pre pared for comiuest. He and Hcssinger ttlked. At ten Harbara was to give her anal decision. She watched the clock in n agony of nervousness. Half past eight! The hands were movinn around the dial itfl annul liner michI. Xiiie! She did not snow the bell had rung that a visitor was Mown in.

His father was Dr. John Mini; Stanchlle'.d, who came to Klmira up ward of .'i0 years niro. and not only es tablished an extensive practice n a phy hielan. but by business enterprise and tact in the mniKiiriMiient of some real estate of which be became owner. HiMiiired much more than a comfor table competence. He came to Klmira from Leeds, Me. John I. St ancblield's mot her died onlr a veurusfo. As Dr. Stiinehtleld neeumii- lateil means he moved to n more fash ionable section of the city, and on Main utreet. then reasonably distant from the business center, lie built a hand some little home, and there the physi cian lived until shortly before his deuth. Dr. Stanchtield, Iu company JOHN HARRY STANCH FIELD. (Democratic Nominee for (Jovernorof New York.) with his wife, made a trip around the world ubout 1SS5, und on bis way back died in Colorado. It was in this charming Main street home that the democratic candidate passed the years of his life up to the time of his marriage. While residing there he graduated from No. 2 gram mar school iu Klmira. From this school Mr. Stanehfield entered the Klmira free academy. In bis academy course Mr. Stanehfield hud distinguished teachers, one of whom was the late I'rof. J. Dorninii Steele, known to the educators of the country us the author of school text books. Mr. Stanehfield was graduated from the Klmira free academy iu 1872, and at once upplicd for udmission to Amherst college, where he graduated In lfiTti. During his academic and college days the young man wus un accom plished athlete. While at Amherst he made both the crew and nine. He was well adapted to become on oarsman, nnd with his crew rowed In various parts of the country. From 1873 to 1870 he was actively engaged in sports of nil kinds. A wet'k ufter hi graduation from Amherst college, the democratic can didate returned to Klmira and entered the law ollice of David II. Hill as a stu dent of law. Mr. Hill had a suite of rooms in Kast Water street, nearly op posite the leading hotel. Kverybody in Klmira knows that the Chemung river in those days wus celebrated for ita black bass. Sonne one, one day, poking fun nt the dingy ehuracterof theotlices of Mr. Hill, aroused Mr. Stanehlield'a humor, und bis reply to the criticism was that the ollicea might not be very handsome, but be guessed thut his bos had selected them because "you can catch fish from euch end black bass from the river und sucker ut the front door." At the time student were required to study three full years In the oiliee of ii prncticjng lawyer, nnd that routine Mr. Stnnc'hlleld went through. He was admitted to the bar In May, 1S79, and was at once taken into partnership by Mr. Hill, the firm thereafter being known as Hill & Stanehfield. The firm had the largest legal business as well ns the largest politicul practice of any firm in that section of the state. In 18S0 Mr. Stanehfield was elected district attorney, und In 1883 he was renominated and Indorsed by the re publicans, his election following with out opposition. In lSSfl Mr. Stanehfield was nominat ed by the democrats for the office of . . . i i . I, . i , .. . j mayor or r.iunin. ne eiccim aim served thut year and the two years fol lowing. In 1895 he was elected assemblyman and made hi first appearance among the politicians at Albuny. There his fame spread rapidly, and in 1896, when he was returned to the assembly, he was chosen leader of the m!nor!y. PIGEON RACES A TRAIN. Start Oat Iteajnlarlr Rverr Mornlnsj for a Fir Along-side the Knstlne. There In a pigeon In Belgium which rrijulnrly files with the mornltiff trnln that goes from Liege to Wnreiume. It began to aecompnny Uie train toward the end of January, and It haa done o every tiny alnee then, except on three occasion, any a Iondon pnperi The Meune, one of the lending news paper In Belgium, vouches for this fact, and glvps other curious detnils about tho reninrkablc bird. The trnln starts at three minutes to ten a. ni., and a crowd gathers dnlly to sen the pigeon go with It. The bird wheels around the station while the) passengers are taking their seats, and as soon as the whistle Is blown and the Journey begins it takes Tip a po- sltlon a little behind the engine, ana there It flies Surrounded by the moist, though warm, steam, which It evi dently enjoys. It retains this posi tion even while the trnln Is passing through tunnels, and apparently la not Incommoded In the least by thf warm vnpor. When the train renehes ita destination the bird flies frwlftly" along the railroad trnek back to I. lege, where It arrives about half-past elev' en o'clock. This pigeon was born at the rail road station Iu I,lege, anil consequent ly Is familkir with trains, smoke and Htcnm. Until a Tew months ago It occupied, with eleven others, a com, fortnble cote, and when this wn re moved from the station by order of the authorities it refused to abandon its old home, though Its 11 com-' piitiions at once sought for shelter elsewhere. This fidelity was suitably rewarded. The railroad officials gave the bird carte blanche to search for food wherever it plensed, and the pub lie liberally supplied it with corn and other dainties. A singular fact Is that on the three davs when it failed to ae company the train a Belgian engine was used instead of nn Kngllsh one, nnd' the assumption Is that the fuel consumed bv the latter gives forth a stenm which the bird prefers to that from a Belgian engine. The I Irani 1'roiu.em is much simpler than is sometimes supposed. Health de pends chiefly upon perfect digestion and pure blood, and the problem is solved very readi ly by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Ycu may keep well 1V taking it promptly lor any stomacn or blood disorder. Its cures of scrofula, salt rheum, catarrh. dspepsia, rheumatism nnd other diseases, are numbered by the thousands.
