" then do vou think tliat Fred is reailv i i deail'." j "o more dead than I am, my dear; he i hal evidently received a severe blow on i . the head which renilered hiin senseless i and has thrown hint into a sort of trance or cataleptic state ; I have just been to ; see Ir.

What could she mean? Could Kitty have been to heartlesa as not to tell her that Otto knew I was still alive? Kitty and she were not jrood friends, for bit sister showed plainly that she did not think Lina (whom she always spoke ofby her tail name. FeroUae) half good enough for me ; but I was of a different opinion. In my eyea Lina was not cold, bat only full of pare, maidenly reticence ; that she waa at all mercenary was. to me, disprov ed by the fact that Harold Carter, the matrimonial prise of our town, had not been aUe to w in her from me, tbongh Somerset SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, everybody eouIJ see that b waa hesul over herb in lore with her. " Very well," answered my aister in the tone of a woman eoevim-ej atpunst her wiiL " I will leave yoa now, nl return in five minutH." JU Kittr hnt the door behind her I felt a glow of pleasurable anticipation eome over me ; I id to mye'f that eore Ir the warm khw whk-h Lina woold giv her dea.1 lover would break thw stranae thrall that heM me an in a vice, and that I would seem to crime back to the life I had never left. Fancy my surprise then, to find that when she drew near my bed it waa not to give me my kb, but toguA ntlmly npoa rm and say, in an audible whinper : " Free at last ! Xow if I can only pt thone idiotic letters of mine, I can eattily coavittte Harold and the world that I never, even at first, even returned any of llv wild fancy Fred bothered me with. I wonder if, had I never seen Harold, I could have ever brought my!f to eare two straws for Fred Montjetli? But time Sj she drew from her pocket a iittlekey, which I at on:e retajtjniieiL In the earlier .lays of mv coortship, when l.; WlU1 yet w qllite wolli J hai had j tW() mken niatW an.l fitted with very pei-uliar lM;ks ; one of these I had iriven to Una for her t- keep- her treas- nres i my letter, a lin k of hair. etcV in, and hail uxeil the other mysi'lf Jir a smi lar pnrjxme, as well she knew.

Then she came to me, and taking my hand in hers drew from it a rinz she had once (riven me, and in its plai-e put the ine like it which 1 hail jriven her ; the only differ cniK in th two was in the inscriptions within him. . I was so a.-toniLed. so enriotis, that I ,.,, , .it.tntiMf ;,. -r,l the kisei, but !isteed with eaiterness to what she would say now thut KittyY-ame Ink to the rxjixt. " I snppoe yoa have wonlereil, Mrs. ' Kramer, to see me so calm about your i brother's death, but tWe tnith is that we came to the conclusion, only this very morning, that me were ansuited Ut one another vimi knew that he was coming away from my honse when he was run over, did you nit? Yes, I thomrht so. Well, he hail just returned my letters to me, and in bis presence I had burned his to me. He had been p!ied fir some tune to be jealous of the attention Mr. Carter paid ine, and I had at last ow ned that if I were free I should accept Mr. Carter. f course, nnder these circum stances yia cannot expect me to bewail Fred's death, nor wear mourning for him. Indeed, I don't see why I need go to his funeral. I believe 111 go and visit my coiisins in Albany until it's all over. I speak thus plainly to yoabecause I know there has never been any love Iuet be tween us two." Now, there was not one word of truth in what Lina -had said' And yon mav imagine how her story surprised me. What with being considere I dead when I I was keenly alive to all that was going on around me, and , with hearing such a remarkable tale, I hail no chance to be lip iken-hcarteif over the defection of my lady-love. Sj I had been run over. Well, it was something to have learned that much. I had a faiut memory of starting to cross a street, and then a shout, a rush, a blow and then nothing until I beard my brother-in-law utter the words already quoted. But my surprises were not at an emL The statement thus calmly given by Lina was scarcely out of her mouth when my door was afiin opened and Theresa Ains leigh entered. My sister welcomed her cordially ; she and Kity wepe very inti mate, and she was as much at home in our house as any one of us were. The greetings exchanged between her and Lina were, however, of an icy character. While Kitty and Lina were saying a few parting nothings. Theresa drew near my lied, and I saw, to my surprise, that ber ! eves were full of tears, ahich would not I hait a queer sensation, as if I were as slsting at some spectacle, and were an in- visible auditor at that.

I really felt quite grateful to Kity for what was sure was a little aurifice on ber part to con vince me how little Lina had actually care. for me, although ber scheme had succeeded beyond her wildest hopes. A few hoars convince. all my physi- cians that the Angel of Ieath ha.1 not been sent for me an.L th.sigh I waa till for several weeks, I was at last restored to my nsual health. In the days of my convalescence Theresa frequently catne to read or sing to out, aud my eyes now being upejj to her virtues, I found myself getting senily in love with her. . One day I waa surprised by her say ing : " By -the way, Theresa, when is my old sweetheart, Feroiine Pahuvr going to be niaxriied ? " What, hasn't Kitty told yoa? Her en gagement to Harold Carter was broken ESTABLISHED 1827. otf in lam than a Cwtnirht ; it tamed oat he waa already marrieil, though ae pen ted from hie wife, and her &tber maile such a talk aboot it that Harold dbjap pewred." And left Lina in the larch, eh ? Well, she got her pay for jiltinjf me much soon er than I fiweied she would. Why do you Ik so nurprised ? Did yon believe the story she told Kitty ? There was not a word of troth in it " Bat yoa had your own ring on, and the box where yoa kept your letters was unlocked and empty, Kitty said She looked into thir.je to see if she was mis- juiiging Feroiine in what she had i.L " i h, Lina was cute ; sne took her let ten and changed the rin when she was left alone with her so-called dea! love," I replied caution sly. th, Fred, yoa m ast nijt be so unjt&t, so bitter '. Probahry that blow on your bead maiie yoa furt what happened that morning; she is free now," and Theresa gave a faint sigh, and I saw the corner of her mouth Jnp. Yea, she's free, and likely to remain so ; she cant play her game 6rever she is a cold-hearted, mercenary flirt? " Theresa thongthmr words were induced by wKHvB-d pride, so she trietl to con sole me. Femline has leen t inntre Rr yon e-er so many times, and ! told Kitty that I thiMferht she oojrht to bnn her up to see you." "No, no ; thought I; Kitty knows Is-tter; she knows by my silence aUmt her that I have lost my internet in her.

Care of The Health. A good illustration of the changes of temiierature to whi h the hly may be ! sut.jet.-ted in a brief interval may be found on any warm day in eariy summer when-j a strong north or easterly wind is blow ing. n such a day an individual sitting in the full blaze of tlie sun, and well shel tered from the wind, may fell positively "not," while another, equally well pro tected from tiie wind, but sheltered also from the sun, may feel but comfortably warm ; a third exposed to the full blast of the wind, to the rapid passage over the body of a cooler air, may reasonably complain of being chilled. Now it so happens that the disorders that depend npon what is known as catching cold depend for the moot part upon sudden changes of temperature. Against tnese evils of sudden change woolen undergarments affoid a trust wor- Uiy pnitectuin.

Kansas, was compelled to disniiaw its notice Rn-e. dimen with the servire of firemen, ami the use of gas and electric lights, because the revenue derived from saloons was cut off by the enactment of Prohibition, having been published all over the country. Governor John A. Iar tin has felt cal!e-i upon to ive the public a letter in which he reviews the history and results of Prohibition in that Sute. It is an array of facts that are full of in terest to those awake to the necessity of a removal of the fountain of ail iniquity front oar fair land, "The prohibition amendment to oar Constitution was adop ted in the autumn of 1S8, and the first laws to enforce it went into effect in May ISSl. The war to banish the saloons was for some years partially successful. The amendment had been adopted by a very niear majority, and the puhiic senti ment in ail our lare cities was overwhel mingly against it. As late as January. !,, salixns were open in fully thirty of the larger -cities of Kansas, including Topeka, the capitul of the State. But steadily and surely the public sentiment against them spread and intensified. Tlie small majority that hail voted for the amendment was reinforced, first by those law n pre?-ntina citiz.rns who are always willing b sills rIinate their per ma! opin ions to tlie majesty of law ; and, second, by an etia!ly Lire number who, oljnerv in the practical results fiiilowimj tlie ai oiition of sal. ions in ntics and Sowns, tsi-ame convinceti that Kansas would be a mure prosperous, happier and in all re sjiects a better community of people if it had no open saloon within its borders. So the sentiment of Kansas against the lienor trariic has irrown and strengthen ed, until, to-iay I very much doubt w hether, of its 3tV)0 male voters more than would, if they could, invite back and reinstate the saloon.
