grew tblek and glossy and the original
color was restored." Melviu Aldrich,

" Somb tlmo ago I lost all my hair in

then used Ayer's Hair Vigor and my

J. It. Williams, Florosville, Texas.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for

It is all I could desire, being harmless,

Mrs. Mix, clemiing trout for the mor

sigh of influito relief. "Ouu more day's

Bkimming cream in tho cool collar, made
haste with their work so ns to finish
without the light of it candle, and as
they worked they talked nnd laughed
lightly, as girls will do.
Who wore Kitty and Tilly? Why,
tlipy were Mrs. Mix's "hired Ifolp" the
rosy daughters of impecunious neigh
bors, who wero more than glad to eke
out their slender allowance of pocket
money by assisting the harassed land
lady in "busy times." Kitty was u ra
diant bloudo, with hair just wanned
with red, eyes of mischievous gray, and
a complexion that would have been per
fect wero it not for the sprinkling of
freckles across the bridge of tho saucy
nose. Tilly, on the contrary, was pnlo
and dark, with big, solemn eyes full of
jetty lights, nnd a small head sot with
imperial grace on her slim shoulders;
and their voices sounded like the indis
tinct twitter of orioles ns thoy tulkod

'I like that!" ironically observed Tilly.
"I've always pined to bo an artist's
bride," said Kitty.
"Yes," interrupted Tilly, "nnd I have
made up my mind to a city life. This
country vegetation don't suit mo! 1

Kitty covered up tho fitono cream jar
with a little clinic
"Well, how are wo going to settlelhis

botli want Wayne Hillurd! We're both
determined to havo him."
"Draw lots," suggested Tilly. "Noth

Girls. I should think yonil be

Tilly cavo a great start; Kitty colored
until the freckles looked liko a fleet oi
tiny brown boats on a sea of scarlet.
Mrs. Mix was at tho head of. the stairs,
glaring down at them like an indignant
tabby cat.

Kitty Farrar and Tilly tirey looked

"1 don't think I enro much about your
news, Tom," said Mr. Hillard, who was
just settling himself for a morning's
sketching by tho river heights.
"Oh, but you will when you hear it,"
snid Tom. "Mother says, says she,
'Girls, you'd orter'd be ashamed of your
selves.' And Kit Farrar sho said she
lrnowed your step, nnd Tilly Grey she
said sho 'lowed to marry a city feller

. "Look hero, Tom," said Mr. Hillard,
leisurely turning over his tubes of qolor,
"don't It strike you that this is very like
telling tales out of school? It isn't like
ly tho young Indies meant you to repeat
these littlo jokes!"
"But thoy was dead In earnest,"
wheezod Tom.
"Much yon know about it," said Hill
ard. "No you can't havo tho rod.
Clear out, and romoinbor for the future
never to tattlo.
Tom Mix retired much discomfited
and Wayne Hillard began to paint, but
as he painted ho pondered,
"If I m really tho sportof battle, said
ho, "I ought to surrender myself at once.

"How happy could I bo with either,
Wero t'other dear charmer away,
Kitty Farrar is my possessor, ch? 1 do
really think I ought to havo given that
young marplot the fishing rod after all."
Ho laughed as the idea grow in his
mind; yet moro and moro ho liked it.
Ho had noticed Kitty and Tilly oftener
than they had dreamed of. Ho knew
that Kitty was the clergyman's nioce,
nnd that Tilly's dead father had been a
colonel in tho civil war. Ho wa3 quite
awaro that thoy woro pretty and grace-

self, "I'll finish it!"
Kitty Farrar was spreading table nap
kins out lo bleach on tho grass beyond
the lawn tennis court. Tilly stood hold
ing tho basket for her when Mr. Hill
ard approached. But the instant they
saw him a gentle ice of indescribable
dignity frozo around them. Thoy recog
nized his greeting as two young duch
esses might havo done.
1 can t do it. ho told himself, and
fell to talking about tho weather. How
ho wished that beapogmeo Tom had held
his tongue. But after that ho observed
Kitty quietly and often.

thought. "A dowdrop hiding from the

clo Churchill to ieelier first."
Uncle Churchill arrived on tho scene
a handsomo middle aged lawyer, with
dark eyes and a shrewd mouth.
"Which is it?" said ho.
"Oh, you must decide that for your
self," laughed Wayne.
That's hardly fair." said Mr. Church-
hill.
It's so important that you should be
entirely free from bias or prejudice,'
pleaded Wayne. "At tho end of a week
let mo know what you think."
At tho cud of the week Uncle Church
ill reported.
"It can only bo Tilly Groy.' said ho
She is porfect simply perfect!"
"Tilly Groy!" repeated Wayne. "She
is a very pretty girl, I admit; but as com'
narcd to Kitty Purrar
I can only say what I think, said
Undo Churchill. '
Take another week to consider it,''
said Hillard.
"I will," said Undo Churchill.
Kittv and Tilly, however, wero not
entirely unobservant of matters, and one
evemmr when Churchill and Ulliard m
turned from a day's fishing two stolid
German madchens were waiting at
table. The girls had gone home.
'Their follw wanted them," Mrs. Mix
snid regretfully.
'We'll follow them," said Mr. Ulliard
sotto voce.
An excellent idea!" paid Churchill
promptly.
Kitty Farrar sat ou the doorstep ot the
old house with n black kitten in her lap
when Mr. Hillard came up the walk
Sho colored liko a carnation.
"You see I have found you out," said
he. "Kitty, were you running away
from me?"
"Not not becauso I was afraid," an
swered variant Kitty.
"Woll, wherover you run for the
future l hhall follow." said ho, -because
1 love vou. Kitty."
And it was not until the little diamond
rime that had been his mothers was
safelv fitted on her finger that he mis
chievously nlludqd to Tom's betrayal of
the state secret.
"You know." said he. "that I havo be
longed by right to you ever since I took
up the blue pitcher.
Kitty's eyes flashed.
"But you took up the whito pitcher

you."
"1 couldn't if 1 wanted to," eaid
Wayue. "Miss Grey (f bIio chooses is

said one of tho Bohemians; "that song
had its birth up here in Dtiano street in
1817. Samuel Woodworth, a gifted but
oiTutie priutor, was living there at the
tlmo. Ono hot Bummer's day he wont
into his house and drank a glass of
wabir, remarking, 'that tasto's good, but
how I wish that I could drink just nt
this minute from the old oaken huckot
ou my father's farm,' Woodworth'e
wife remarked sympathetically, 'What
a poem could bo written ou that
thought! The printer pondored Tor a
minute, and sitting down at the nearest
table began to writo. Soon tho touching
verses beginning 'How dear to this heart
aro tho bcciios of my childhood' were
written. Soon aftorward tho worde
wero coupled with a melody composed
by Kiallmark for -'Araby's Daughter,'
and wero sung far and wide,"
" 'Woodman, Spare That Tiee,' is an
other famous song, based on a local in
cident," said tho second Bohemian.
"Tho words wero written by Georgo P.
Morris, who lived in New York almost
nil his lifo and died here in 181. When
he was a boy. his homo was on a farm
not far from Bloomingdalc. Ho was
wont to play there under an old tree
planted by his grandfather.
"Many years after ho had- left tho
farm and the property had passed out of
the hands of his family ho happened in
that neighborhood ono day, and saw a
man about to cut down tho old familiar
tree. Ho begged tho man to desist, and
receivod tho gruff response that the tree
would bring $10 for firewood." He gavo
tho man tho money and took n bond for
tho safo protection of tho tree. Soon
afterward ho wroto the noted song,
which was set to muslo by Henry litis-sell."
"You havo heard how 'A Lifo on tho
Ocean Wave' camo to bo written, I sup-
poser queried tho first stieaker, as ho
moistened his lips. "No? Well, it was
this way. Lpcs Sargent was walking
along tho edge of tho Battery ono bright
morning when tho numerous craft, danc
ing ou tho glistening water, brought to
his mmd a suggestion made to him some
time beforo by his friend, Henry Russell,
that ho write a marine song. Ho wrote
tho words of 'A Lifo on the Ocean Wave,'
and showed them to Georgo P. Morris,
Avhocjuiirkcd, thaLLiuy-)nujrt.ojuiic(UlbL
tlo poem, but they would not do for a
song.
Soon afterward Russell met bargent
and asked him for- tho verses. Taking
them to a music storo at Broadway and
Park Place, Russell went into a little
back room, seated himself at a piano nnd
in a few minutes composed tho air of the
famous song. Sargent never received a
cent for it, although tho sales of the song
were large.
" 'Ben Bolt,' you remember, was a
noted soug along about 1850," continued
the first Bohemian. "The original words
of that somt wero written In 1813 by Dr.
Thouuis Dunn English, of Philadelphia,
while mi a visit to Now York, and sent
us a gratuitous contribution to a mnga-
zino edited by his friend N, 1". Willis.
