Much more so, indeed, than her own

nowledee of the troubles und pleasines
ofthat ousaion upon Cl'ea.xisol which it
Is Mild tin* world that we live in turns
round. For (hough Nan was guarded
like a holdiouse Jlmvei, and held sacred
as a link belwien the living and the
dead, Eve could not entirely shield her
from a great many evi sslie brought on

W hich. for one »*f Nan's statements,
was unusually coriect. If theie hml

Only it wilj be seen that she was in
some fort un anxiety lo her mother,

nut hersell put ihe finishing loud) on
Nan’s fresh uulelle, and old-lashioiied

How dreary 11 all seemed to Eve. It.
was young Ashby’s daughter, this sad

and as they passed, there came news to

now bringing home a young wi o lo walk

Ir'he. was still ‘that prvjijf Miss Ash

perhaps a little changed. There were
fewer dimples around the mbutli, and it
was only on rare occasions now that the
old light flushed Irom h»*r eyes. Yet,

nou'-ced it all right. Then handing back
the bottle to the peddler, he said:
“ I don’t think, now that I’ve bought
this stuff, I shall ever want ft. 1 reckon
I might us well sell it buck to you. What
will you give for It • ?” #
“ O, the darn stuff Is no use to me, but
Rcein’ It’s you, sheriff, I’ll give yon
twentv live cents for It, If you really don’t
want it.”
The sheriff handed over the bo* tie at
the large discount from Ids own purchase,
ami received ids change.
“ Now/’ says the peddler, “ I’ve got h
question to usk you Have you got any

'* No;. I haven’t nny use for the article

The Yankee was os good as his word.
