"What's ina Name?"
JACK TltlCWSON CAX rmillAIII.Y AN8.
Willi THIS QUESTION.
"I'll not do It, unclcl I'd dlo Mrsl!
Marry that wild, untamed tiling? Why
she has done nothing but ride untamed
ponles,cIlmb trees and play pranks since
she was six. I have loo plain a portrait
of her In my mind's eye as I last saw her
to want such a fury before mo all the
remainder of my days."
"Nonsense, Jack. I tell you the
daughter of Hcnrv Anson must boa
lady! She is one, and you marry her or
I let you go to tho dogs."
"Thank you, uncle; I much prefer
going to the dogs: so let us finish our
cigars sociably. I have no special
leaning toward red hair, freckles and
the temper of a wildcat, combined with
lank awkwardness I 1 was at Anson's for
a few weeks when I was nineteen, you
remember, and can recall many a well
executed war dance performed by tho
fair and freckled Miss Judith, lly
the way, your dealer supplies youwllli
prime Havanas, doesn't lie?"
And Jack Trcwson lay back comfort
ably in his easy-chalr, and blew up
rings of smoke, Ms handsome face calm
as a summer day, a lurking smile In his
brown eyes, and just touching his well
cut Hp.
"Besides, uncle," ho went on pres
ently, "seeing that vou have taken no
partner In your joys and sorrows, I
consider It rather cool of you to pick
ono out for mo In tho beginning of my
days."
"Jack," said his uncle slowly, "do
you know why lam without wife or
child at sixty?"
"Glvo up tho conundrum, uncle,"
Jack answered, coolly; "suppose It Is
because you never had theru."
"Hecauso the woman I loved gave her
heart to my friend," tho old man said
half sadly, "and I, loving once, loved
too well to wed another. I have asked
you to woo and win the daughter of one
who never knew of my devotion, and
bring her here as a daughter to me.
Now you know why."
"Uy George! I never dreamed you
had a romance! Hut I can't do It, uncle.
In all else command me; but Judith
Anson nol"
"I'll give you six months," tho old
man said, slowly and grimly. "At the
end of that time you bting Judith An
son to me your promised wife, or you
and I are strangers!"
"Not strangers, I hope, uncle. You
will employ the young and talented
representative of your house In one of
your numerous lawsuits, thereby giving
him a start In the world and a chance
to air his eloquence. And when he
brings you his fair, young bride, whose
hair will not be red, and whoso name
will not be Judith"
"I'll pitch him from a window,"broke
in tho old man angrily; "now I am too
busy to talk to you, young man, so you
may take yourself off."
"Straight to the point, as business
speeches should be," Jack said, rising
lazily and going towanl the door; "but
1 say, uncle," pausing with his hand on
lh knob, "don't ask me marry Judith.
If you want her around, why not ask
her to come and Hyo with yon? I would
not mind that so much, for I could camp
out some place!"
Heceivlng no reply, he went out quiet-

ly, his Hps twitching In the effort to sup
press a smile, while his uncle, tho mo
ment lie found himself alone, laid asldo
tho pen he had taken up and became
lost In deep reverie.
"If sbo Is what Jack describes her,
I'd be giving tho boy an ungracious gift
In such a wife." he muttered. "I never
saw her, and I wish I could. I wonder
how I can manago It? Ah! If Harriet
would do HI I'll write and ask her,'
and he took up his pen and wrote rap
Idly for some moments.
When he had finished he read What
lie had written and laughed amusedly
as he folded the sheet, scaled and dl
rectcd It.
"Young heads aro not always best to
plan," ho said complacently, and ring
ing for a servant, ho cavo directions
that tho letter was to be sent Immcdl
ately. Jack heard no more about the
girl he had declined to marry In the
three, days that followed. On the
fourth his undo addressed him as he
was going out:
"Your aunt Harriet Is coming for a
sveek or two," he said. "I believe she
brings a young friend with her no
doubt a simpering miss, who will de
maud all your time and attention; but
jouwlll remember, I will countenance
no flirtation, no nonsense,"
"Never was guilty of any In all my
life," Jack said, Innocently; "and I'll
not begin now; what Is the name of the
simpering miss, uncle?"
Ills uncle bit his Hp, but turned to the
letter ho held odpii in his hand.
"Something silly; here It Is 'Ditha
Fitzgerald 1' What names some people
give their children 1"
"If they all gave them as pretty
names as that one " Jack paused
"there wouldn't be any Judiths In the
world, uncle." And he laughed lightly.
"when do our guests arrive?"
"To-day. They will be here for din
ner."
"Then I'll be on hand." And Jack
whistled a merry tunc as ho went for
his ramble, while his uncle smiled pc
cullarly.
He was very particular about his gen
eral "get-np" that evening, and paused
a moment beforo opening tlie'door of
tho drawing room, from which came a
low murmur of voices.
"irondcr what she's like?" he
thought, turning thcknob, and finding
himself submitting to a kiss on either
check from his aunt with laughing pro
test.
"I say!" he exclaimed, holding her
off; "this is effusive. Hut, auntie, you
bloom like a midsummer rose, and I'm
awfully glad to see you."
"You ought to be, when I'vn come a
hundred miles to let you sec me," his
aunt milled, "and I brought a vounc
friend with me. Ditha. my dear, this
Is the nephew of whom I told you
Jack, let mo present you to Miss 1'itz
gerald.
'Overjoyed," said Jack, taking the
while hand held out to him, and the
girl gave him a laughing, roguUh look
from a pair of tho bluest eyes he had
ever seen.
'Ilcrognizablc on sight from ycur
very accurate description of him, Mis
Tiewson," said a sweet, girlish voice,
which, somehow, made Jack feel as
though he had known the owner all his
life.
And then he was leading her In to
dinner, and could quietly take a survey
of his companion without any danger of
being thought rude.
She had masses of rcddlsh-brown hair
whlcli was waved and drawn back In a
loose, graceful coll at the back, while a
few soft ringlets fell over tho white
forehead; eyes as blue as violets, full. of
laughing light nnd heavily fringed with
reddish-brown lashes; swret; spirited
Hps, red as a cherry; a complexion fair
ly dazzling In Its pure pink and white,
and a slender, willowy form, which the
simple while dress she wore set off lo
good advantage.
"Perfectly lovely!" was Jack's thought;
aloud, ho followed something the
bad been saying about his finding It dull
living so far from the city.
'Dull?-' he repeated; "not exactly; I
read a little, you know, boat a little,
hMi a littlo and ride a great deal. Do
you rfde?"
"Do I?" she began with enthusiasm;
then, dropping her eyes demurely, "a
little."
"Then we'll try a dally canter,"
Jack said, forgetting his uncle's ad
monition, "If you .arc timid wo can
furnish you with a very gentle piece of
herse flesh."
"Thank you," Ditha said, an amused
sparkle In her eves, and then she spoku
to Mrs. Trcwson, and a general conver
sation ensued, bright and sparkling, of
ten Interrupted by laughter, which last
ed through the whole meal.
"How do you like Jack?" Mrs. Trcw
son asked Ditha, when they were alone
In the drawing-room. Tho girl laughed
merrily.
"Very well, Indeed," she answered.
"We aro to ride to-morrow, and he of
fered me tho gentlest pleco of horte
flush in the stable!" and again she
laughed merrily.
"Hushl" her companion whispered,
"here they aic," as Jack and his uncle
cntcied. "Now, Dllha,"shc continued,
"go and sing for Jack, I want to have
a long talk with my brother-in-law."
And Jack offered his arm to tho girl
and led' her to the other end of the
long room where an elegant piano stood.
And presently ho was leaning over her,
turning thu sheets, while she gave him
laughing glances from under her curl
ing lashes, and tho lamplight fell on
her burnished hair, making It a crown
of glory.
The days went by and the two young
people spent most of the time In each
other's society. It was a horseback

PA., SATURDAY, JULY
of the prottv grovo back of the house
In tho afternoon,- or reading to each
other on tho wide veranda, or drifting
with tup tide on the smooth surface of
tho river, that flowed like silver near
the lino old homestead, and Jack was
drifting more rapidly than ho knew Into
tho deep waters of an unbounded loe
for the beautiful laughing girl, whose
blue eyes held so much merriment nnd
from whoso burnished hair tho sunlight
fell In Hashes.
At last aunt Han let mado tho start
ling announcement that sho would
leaVo on the morrow, and Jack sudden
ly reallzeth that the world would bo a
dreary placetohlm without MIssDitha's
smiles, and that evening ho found him
sel'.ilone with her for a moment, and
managed to tell her, In a very blunder-
ing faslilon, which made her blue eyes
sparklo witli amusement, how dear she
had become to him.
And then she made him unutterably
happy by telling him that sho cared
enough for him to he willing to place
her future In his hands and wait until
he lnd won a way In the world and
could lake her to such a home as would
be worthy of her. Jack left her with
the memory of her tender words, and
fond caresses, and a now ring on her
finger, and went directly to his uncle,
who was In the library.
"I have come to tell you, uncle," the
young man commenced, "that If what
you said regarding Judith Anson was
said In seriousness, It Is now beyond my
power to oblige you In tho matter of
even seeing her with the chance of find
ing fayor In her eyes which she never
could Imd In mine."
Hurt, - a ....
unat are you talking about, you
young scapegrace?" his uncle asked, the
smile in his eyes bcllelng the frown on
his forehead. "Harriet tells mo Miss
Anton Is a lovely girl, and has numer
ous admirers, each one, I daro say,
worth a dozen like yourself. Her
hair Is no more red than your own, and
her complexion is called the fait est pos-
sesscti uy any lady In her county.
CI... I i. , , . .
one is reiineii aim graceiui, and vou
will bo a lucky fellow if you can win
her."
"Let ono of those awfully nice fel
lows have her, uncle," Jack said with a
smile, "for me I have asked Ditha
Fitzgerald to be my wife."
"And have been rejected, as you de
served to be, eh?"
"And have been accepted, to my un
bounded joy, uncle. .Now, couldn't
you manage to say a civil thing to
me?"
Ilut the uncle reached suddenly for
the bell-pull and rang It vigorously.
'(jolng to have me escorted to the.
door, or I'm a sinner," Jack thought.
"But I'll see It through."
"I desire Miss Fitzgerald to come hero
If she Is not engaged," was the message
given to the servant. And It made
Jack's eyes flash.
"I think I can answer anything you
may have to say, uncle," he said with
dignity. Dot he received onlv a
mam! to bo silent.
Presently Ditha camo In her fair face
slightly flushed, a sly, haypy look In her
bluo eyes.
"You sent, forme, Mr. Trowson?"
she asked.
"It appears tbnt this young man wants
to give mo a new niece," tho old man
said, a smile coming about his lips with
the words, "but ho absolutely declines
making an offer of his hand to Miss
Tudlth Anson, declaring her hair to be
red, her face to bo freckled, and her
temper to rescmhlo that of a wild cat."
"Why, Jack," the girl exclaimed.
"that Is not at all llko what jo;i said to
me."
"But you aro not Judith Anson!"
Jack onswercd, giving hcra tender look.

"Nor you, quite." Judith answered.

AYER'S FAMILY MEDICINES.
1 lie business of J. C. Ayre & Co., of
Lowell, Mass., has grown to Its present
largo proportions from a small begin
ning, lorty years ago Dr Aycr first
prepared Aycr's Cherry Pectoral for the
use of practising physicians. The gen
eral public soon learned the value of
this remedy and It early attained wide
popularity. Its name Is now among the
most familiar of household words. Af
ter tho reputation of tho Pectoral had
become established, Dr. Ayre, recugnlz-
Ing.tho universal demand for a reliable
cathartic, began the preparation and sale
of Aycr's Pills.- Aycr's Sarsaparllla soon
followed and the phenomenal succuss
of theso remedies encouraged Dr. Aycr
to add Aycr S Aguo Cure and Aycr's
Hair Vigor to tho list.
From the outset, neither expense nor
effort has been spared to obtain the best
materials for these preparations and
tho best facilities for compounding
them. They are of unvarying quality
and strength, and always satlsfactoiy
In their effects. So popular have they
U2como that their sale has extended to
all parts of tho world, and scarcely
ship sails from New York, Boston, San
Nranclsco, or any other American port,
without Including in its cargo and store
a supply of these medicines.
Nearly forty thousand merchants do
business with Dr. J. C. Ayre & Co., by
direct correspondence, the mall receipts
ot the firm ranging from 400 to S00 let
ters daily.
Ayer's almanac was first Issued It:
1832, and was then printed only In Eng
lish. It now appears in ten languages.
the various editions aggegatlng nearly
fourteen millions of copies per annum.
In addition to the almanacs, this house
Issues forty millions of circulars, an
nually, In English, French and Spanish:
also pamphlets, in twenty languages, In
eluding the French, German. Spanish,
Dutch, PortugeseSwedish, Bohemian,
Norwegian, Polish, Welsh, Italian, Fin
nish, Greek, Armenian, Chinese, Turk
ish. Bulgarian, Burmese and Hawilan.
The printing of this material, together
with wrappers, labels, tc., requires the
constant use of eight largo printing
presses, cyety working day In the year,
consuming for the almanac, alone. 5(0
tons of paper.
The remedies furnished by Dr. J. C.
Aycr it Co., are highly concentrated. the
cheapest, most economical, am! the best
that medical skill can devise. A now
pamphlet on "Emergencies," has just
been Issued by the above named com
pany. As accidents happen In every
family, we advise every reader to send
for this little manucl of practical In
st ruction and Information. It may be
had free on remitting one stamp, tor

through the crowded picture galleries of
tho past, and see life as wo have painted
it be it of good, bo It of evil strange
thoughts shape themselves In our minds,
and a desire to go back and live oyer
again comes to us. Some ono savs "let
thu dead past bury Its dead." Ah I but
who can bury, taunting memory? who
can rid himself of thu past? A
slngla unkind action, a word hallly
spoken, perhaps long years ago. to a
brother or sister now gone, comes back
througli memory's chambers as you
stand besldo the mound In the church
yard as though It had been but yester
day. What sacrifices would you not
make to recall them; but. alas, this can
never he; and autumn winds shall scat
ter the fallen leaves and winter snows
cover tho low mound In tho churchyard,
and with the coming of spt Ing the leaves
shall come forth and flowers bloom In
sweet profusion, and thcro still In that
low mound lies the form of the departed
one whom our every thought pictures In
some new form, In some new grace; but
still, llko tho low, cruel knell of the
church bell, memory goes stalking back
through tho haunted corridors of tho
past, and like a spectre of other days
brings forth the hasty word, the unkind
action which wo fain would crush, but
which rises up before us, and will rise
until we, loo, have joined the silent ma
jority who dally form In ranks and
march "onward to Zlon, the beautiful
city of love." O. W. M.
