She looked at Next Narroway, so straight aud ta'.l and handsome and re alix'd for the first time just how she felt toward the young man. " iH)d-by, Audrey," he said. Audrey gave hin her hand. "tiotHl-by," theaid. "Aud you came the whole way across just to see me aguiu ? Thank y4u." "I couldn't have gone without gd liy, Audrey," said Ned. "Ywterday and last night, w ith all the strangers about at the picnic, gave nieuot-hance. Will you think of me now and then?" "We shall think and talk about you a great deil." They sat down under the grapevines. "I have great hota-d ol this journey," Kiid Ned: "L'uele Edward promises by aud-by to take me into partnership. He's very nice old fellow, Audrey. You'd like hitu." "Should I?" Audrey thought she would like no one overmuch who hail tempted Next away from ISlooiutield's slopes. "And I'm to board with him," said Ned, "and we shall get 4n i-plciididly, I've no doubt; and when I'm junior partner" Just then a whistle sounded. "You must go, Nel." He caught up his portmanteau. "I hhall have to run for it," he said "CSood-by, Audrey." A vague disappointment thrilled the girl ; she had thought so much, and he had said so little. Just then he leaned toward her. "One kiss at parting," he said. Autirey drew back. She as no prude; she would have giveu her lips to any friend leaving her without a thought of wrong; but she c uld not even let the man she loved kiss her ; who knew but it might be a betraying ordeal? Everything r noth ing for Nexl Narroway, and he had never uttered one word of love to her. "(rtaal-by," she said. She gave him her hand, he took it an 1 went, a little dashed, and just a little wounded. When Mrs. Irew came home she wondt-reil what made Audrey's eyes so rel. Oil, women's lives ! How they glide on, for the most jrart tangled in the mesh of tritles! There was the parlor to dust, ruHlis to flute and a cake to b tke; afternoons to be spent at friends' houses; friends to entertain at home; important nothings to te done from dawn until dusk; but through it all one thought ran a thought born f a maiden's first love, as pure and tender as auy ever sung by poet, though she was but a plainly reared country girl, and he a nobody with a thoughtful heart gone out to seek his fortune. The time of nwes passed away, and grape time came. Somebody it was Tom Pepper had a letter from Ned, who was very well p'.eased with New York. "He's been to see everything," said Tjiu, with a laugh. "Wait; ite (juite what I call a historical kind of a letter, .dreadfully interesting. Do you want to read it?" "Yes," said Audrey. Tom gave her the letter. It was at a sewing circle at Mrs. Dove's and iti a minute more Audrey slipped up into Mrs. D.ive's bedroom, and red the letter. It was just s'uch a bright account of himself and what he saw as any intelli gent man could have written; but to Audrey it was a miracle of genius, and above all, he wrote it. It brought to her a vision of himself. L'nder the shade of Mrs. DoudV chintz window curtains Audrey kissed the letter as mothers kiss their babies. Then she came back to the parlor with a calm face. "IJright isn't It?" asked Tom. "What?" asked Audrey. "Oh yes the letter; very nice." She would have given all the money she had hi the bank earned by mak ing cottage cheese for the market could she but have that letter for her very own. Watching and waiting wears 4ne thin. Audrey was not 4juite as pretty as she had been, if bloom and bright ness make all beaut', as most folks think they do, and she was conscious of this, and aware also that her new best dress was of au unbecoming color, when, at Christmastide, it was known throughout the vil age that Ned had come tlown to spend the holidays. They met at church and the rest of Christmas Day Ned went with his old employer's family, while Audrey lost her appetite, and wished she had never been born. There was Nathan Prior, to be sure, doing his best to please her, and her cousin Jack, from Hampton, trying to cut him out; but her heart was as heavy a lead, every smile forced, and every word wrung from her lips. The next day Ned called. At the announcement her heart flat-, tered ; then she ran to the glass. How xgy she looked! She went down to greet him, full of this thought, gave him a frigid and impassive hand, and sat bolt upright on the remotest chair. You're not well, Audrey !" said Ned, injudiciously. 1 ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1896. "Thank you, Mr. Narroway; I am fmite well," replied Audrey. Ned bit his lip. "Pleasant weather for the season," he ventured. "Yes," said Audrey, "ami such a pleasant Christmas day! Nathan Prior sM'iit it with us, and Cousin Jack. TlMy are full of fun, and I enjoyed my self so much." "I'm glad to hear it," said Ned. Then in came Mrs. Drew, and Ail drey lapsed into silence. Ned tak his departure. Next eve ning they met at a little party, and Audrey, longing for Ned's presence as beggars ever longing for bread, turn ed her back on him and coquetted with Nathan Prior. Ned saw Ituth Hallow home, aud Nathan escorted the wretched Audrey. And then Ned was gone. The city swallowed him again. The people heard that he was getting on. In Au gust came his friend, old (Jeneral Sprague, to enliven the village with his company. Oeneral Sprague called one evening on the Drews, and in ten mi uutes drop ped a Uunb-shell at Audrey's feet. "There's Ned Narroway gone and got married. Went to his wedding a week ago. There's the paier, Miss Au- drew girls like to read about wed dings it makes them think of their own ha! ha! ha! " Do tell!" cried Mrs. Drew. "Ned married?" "I don't see why anyone should be surprised, mother," said Audrey. "It's the natural fate of young men." "So it is," said the general. "I mean to try it myself some tlay." Audrey ttxk the paier to her room and read the notice: "On the 1st of August, Mr. Edward Narroway to Helen, youngest daught er of Howard Hotspur, Esquire." Therein, so she believed, lay her world's end. ' "Mother," said Audrey, a week after this, "you know Miss Ii-se always has wanted me to come to her and learn millinery. I'd like to go now." "There ain't any need if your pa's daughter learning a trade." "l'.ut I could make our hats and save a lot." So the girl had her way. She only wanted to let her heart break away from tender watchful eyes. The farce of cheerfulness could be played no longer. In a fortnight Audrey went to New York to learn to make bonnets. She wrote letters home to the effect tliat she was very happy; but she stitched iude fatigably, thought and wept by stealth, grew pale and coughed. In fact, non sense as you may think it, Audrey was dying of a brtikeii hi'art. It was OctobT, and the twilights were warm aud golden at home, tiie foliage gorgeous in its bright decay. In the city the few trees were sere and sombre, and all the gorgeousuess was in the shtip windows. Alaiut live o'clock one lay, when Audrey, who had lieeu to Brooklyn, cainedown toward the ferry loat, think ing hard upon a subject which had tor mented her for a long time Ned Nar roway's photograph. She had it still, and lie was another woman's property. She was doing wrong; she must destroy iL Why not toss it into the river? Her hand was on the chain she took a step forward. "Let me take your .shopping bag," just then said a voice she knew. She turned her eyes that way. There std three jiersons Ned Narroway, a young lady to whom lie had spoken, aud an elderly gentleman. Audrey dared not meet them. She turned to ward the Uat, not beetling her steps not noticing that the boat had left her moorings. "Stop!" critnl a dnzen wiices. But the girl had gone too far to stop. In a secoml more the waters had en gulfed her. "Dtm't go, Nel," cried a sweet young voice, and two hands clutched his arm. "Let me alone!" cried the young man fiercely, shaking the fingers away with a jerk. Now there are two figures in the dark water instead tif'one, and Ned's vtiice cried in Audrey's ear : "Becalm. Don't cling to me, audi will save you." She was pjite insensible, and Ned, dripping himself, carried her into a house near by, and gave her over to the care of the go-nl-natureil Irish landlady who soon had her warm and conscious of this world again. "She's ijuite herself, sir," said the woman, coming out to Ned, "and will see you in a minute. I've just brought her jewelry and things to you. I can't watch every one going in and tut of the house." Ned took the glittering handful a pin, a little silver portmonuaie, aud a chain with a framed picture attached. In a moment more he gave a cry. How she came by it he could not guess, but the face he saw through the blurred wet glass was his own. Half an hour afterward he was kneel ing beside Audrey, who reclined in a great arm chair in the landlady's best room. "Thank God, you are safe, Audrey V he said. "Life would have been worth less without you, my little darling." At these words, weak as she was, Audrey started to her feet. "How dare ju! You have risked your life for me, I know, but that does not warrant you in speaking so. What have I tlone to lead you to insult me?" she crieti. "To insult you, Audrey? God forbid that I should ever do that!" "Words that a single man may speak without vexing a girl are insults from a married man. Your wife " "My what?" "Your wife would " "Slop, Audrey. Answer me. What do you mean by my wife? I am not married." "Not married! We saw the notice in tte papers Edward Narroway to Helen Hotspur. I read it myself, and I saw her with you on the dock." "Edward Narroway is married to Miss Hotspur," said Ned, "and you saw her on the dock; but it is my uncle who has a wife, aud the lady you no ticed is my aunt by marriage. She never would have given her hand to so I poor a man as the Nel Narrow ay you know." "Oh, Ned!" "So I meant no insult by eallingyou ray darling, and you don't feel angry with ine, do you, Audrey ?" "No." "And I may call you so again ?" She was silent, so he took a kiss with out asking for it. "Yes," said Mrs. Drew, a W4ck after ward, to a gossip who wanted to know all about it, "Neil and Audrey are en gaged. Mrs. Drew kept her daughter's secret in true motherly fashion, und never told how, bursting into I lu farmhouse all aglow with roses and dimples, Au drey had begun her confession by say ing: "Mother, it wasn't tur Ned who was married, after all, but his uncle." "Why, who ever thought it was? I knew who the geueral meant," said Mrs. Drew. "Did you? cried Audrey, in surprise, 'I didn't until a week ago. Oh, moth er, I've been so wretched, aud I am so happy now !" And then she told Iter mother all her story. Swapping1 Yarns. It is curious how things fall out in this world, esjiecially on suburban trains. One evening last week a jwirty of students from one 4f the universities began swappiiigyarns. First 4ne would take his tlirn at tellinga story, and then the next Would entertain the crowd for a few minutes. The talking was m-c-essarily loud, in 4rdertole heard above the rumble tf the cars. The passen gers could hear quite well, ami not a few became interested and laid aide their pajars to listen. "Now, I'm going to make mine a war story, boys," began the third student in a high pitched voiiv. "You know in war times whisky was scarce, and the soldiers resorted to all sorts 4f stratagems to get a dram. One day one of the lxyg said to a friend in another regiment: 'Say, I'll give you a dollar if you'll get me a half pint of whisky.' 'Doner replied the friend, '(jive you tliut whisky ln-fore night.' But lefore night 4ne of the regiments had orders to move, and the thirsty man was left without the whi.-ky and without the dollar. Now, the curious part 4f it is that at a reunion thirty years after the man -A lio was to have had the whisky was telling the story to a comrade. 'Of course,' he said, laugh ing, 'I've never seen the fellow who promised me the whisky from that day to this.' "Just then a man ith one sh-eve empty stepped up and said: 'Weren't you in such and such a regiment, and don't you reinemU-r giving another soldier a dollar for half a pint of whis ky?' "Y9.' 'And the regiment niov- etl olf and you never got your whisky?' Yes.' 'Well, I'm that sohlier, and I got that pint 4f whisky, and I've b.vn carrying it ever since,' and he pulled the flask from his ptn ket." The stu dent finished amid the plaudits of his companions. An old fellow in front had been chuckling gleefully behind his newspa per. He turned around aud yelled heartily: "Pretty gxl, young man; pretty good. You've got things straight. I'm the man tliat paid for the whisky!"' Chicago Inter-Ocian. He Was Posted. She was from Boston and was on her way to the geysers.

"Do yon know how old those trees are? she asked, and was preparing to auuch a whole row 4f figures at him when he surprised her by answering very promptly: "Yes'm." "How old are they?" "Three thousand and six yt'ars." "How do you arrive at such accur ate results?"

Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are subject to take it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarse ness; this is soon followed by a pecul iarly rough cough, which is easily recog nized and willnever lie forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cugh Remedy is freely given all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after thecroupy coujrh has developed it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giv- J iug this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by Ben ford's phar macy. An Effort to be Cheerful. The genial young man slapjed the merchant on the back and exclaimed: "How's business?" "How's business?" the merchant re peated, thoughtfully. Then lie took a bundle of notes at anything from thirty lays to six months from his pocket anl with an effort at cheer exclaimed: "My boy, I never saw a time when business was more promising." A cough is a danger signal of worse trou bles to come. Cure the cough and prevent its results by using Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. era He Saw the Capital. As a Star reporter waited at the Bait imore and Potomac station for a train from New York, an accomiiKMlation from the South came in, and one of the passengers from It ambled along up to the gates and came head on to the man waiting for somebody else. He was a shaqneyed, hairy-faceti, thin -necked, store-clothed, anxious-looking sort of chap, and the reporter was undecided at first whether his "find" was a knave or a fool, and he wasn't long finding out. "Say," said the new arrival with that friendly familiarity any stranger uses on a reptirter, some way by intui tion, for there is no outward eviden-e that a reiiorter Ls what he is "say, I'm looking for the Capitol of the United States. You've got it in this town, haven't j'ou ?" "I presume you mean the Capittd building," replied the reporter with be coming dignity. "The same," replied the new arrival with the a4i-ent on the first word "Will you tell me how to get there from here?' "Bight out through this building and on out the street till you come to the wide street lieyoud, and turn to your right. The rest of the way you may walk 4r ride, as you prefer." The man was apparently in no hurry, for he showed a disposition to linger and ii verse. "It's a right big buildiu', ain't it?" he asked. "One tf the largest in the world V "I understand it cost somethin' like forty or fifty millions of tlollars, and the taxpayers had to pay for it," arid there was a disagreeable tone in his voice. "What's the ditlcrence what it cost?" ail the rcjiorter. "It is the Capitol of this great country, and we can afford to have it pretty good." The man grew visibly xcitd. "That's what I'm here fer," lie said, fiercely. "I'm gettin' ready some cam paign speeches for the Populist party, and I thought if I'd come here to the capital of the nation and see what ex travagance there has been here, I could talk sense to the down-trodden and op pressed people of my party and all oth ers that has lieen bearin' the burdens tf the rich all these years. Bight here in this one buildiu' th-re has lecn enough of the people's money spent to buy farms fer hundreds and set them up in comfortable homes. It's a shame and a outrage, sir, and the hand of the sullerin' teople should shut on the throat of their desjHilers, sir. This na tion ain't a nation for rich people, and there never was any use of that kind of a buildiu' fer the government to te car ried on in. I've never saw it, and I'm here to take a look au' go lack an' tell my ptniple the plain facts in the case, sir. Where lid you say I'd goto find it?" The train from New York had come in and the friend the reprtcr was lott ing for did not arrive. "Come with me," he said to the gen tleman from Popville, "and I'll shw you." The man grew more vindictive as he walked along, and he was hot as cotton when they reached the avenue. "There's the Capitol," said the re porter, pointing to the east. Possibly it was that the sun fell ecu Iiarly upon the building at the moment, or it ma' merely have seemed so, but the great white ilome, set between ils pillared wings, appeared to tloat alxve the green of the earth into the blue of the sky and to stand out U-yond and above the city as if it were not made with finite hands, but had taken on the spirit of the infinite aud set itself as a seal forever in the heavens. The rejxirter, as often as he had seen the building, was impressed with the beauty of it, and he turned to the stran ger with him. For fully two minutes the man stood gazing upward as if look ing into the sky, but his eyes were on the dome. Then he gulped as if swal lowing something. 'Gixl forgive me," he said with quiv ering lips. "I didn't know that any thing out of heaven could look like that, and I'm goiu' back to my jeople down there where we iwght to know better, and I'm goin' to tell them we've got the greatest government on earth, and we've got to stand more taxes, if it's necessary to keep a single hinge from fallin' olT, or a paiin' from com in' loose. Much obliged to you; good-bye," he concluded. "I'm goiu' right back home on that next train," aud he broke for the station. Washington Star. Wasted Patriotism. Admiral Jouett lives at Sundy Springs, Md., where the roads are no better than in Dixie. He is an ardent Republican, although a son of the Blue Grass State; and last election, when heavy rains had made the roads almost impassable, he shamed the stay-at-homes by taking his son, James, Jr., through the mud and downpour to their voting plai. The journey home in the dark, swimming through mud to the hubs, was so disquieting that they arrived profane and exhausted. "Well," said the Admiral, "thank heavens, that's over ! We've had a hartl pull of it, but it is the duty of ev ery citizen of the Uuited States to vote. Say, Jim," he ejaculated fiercely, "I voted the straight Republican ticket, as usual. How did you vote?" " Fa ther, we might as well have stayed at home and paired," replied the son ; "I voted straight Democratic." The True Remedy. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, III., "Chief," says : "We won't keep house without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex periment with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our borne, as iu it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs, etc" It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as graal as Dr. King's New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures aud besides is guar anteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at J. N.

Dozens and doens of women aie complaining rani wondering constant ly why it is that their clothes never 'ook as some other women's of their acquaintance, or why they haven't the style they see numerous women have as they pass by. Th reason lies priu 4 it ally with tht nistlvts. In the first place, dress, like every thing else, requires care and thought and of necessity a little trouble. Some women from this lack of thought and inattention to their clothes after they get them soon have them looking half worn and slouchy, and, then-fore, not nice. Gowns must le taken care of ir they will soon lose shape aud fresh nes. In the other hand, many women are s very pri:n and particular, the effect of their clothes is almost as bad as that if the careless women. She, the prim body, desires very much to be in style, but from a prudish idea of her own as to the unbecomingnessof the thing, or its very newness, she mxlities the idea and straightway spoils the whole thing ami takis all the slyle out of it.

A great many women s-e a thing, and fearful "it will not le worn," wait until the style is almost passed lie fore having anything of theirs made that way, and consequently theirs is old style, while the progressive woman has had that aud gone on to something new.

This is not the c ts a every one knows who has read aivfully New En gland history. But fir all this, the Pilgrim Fathers are only ton often rv gtrded, even by their direct ilescetid ant', as Puritans, while the fact is, they t aey bud nothing to do with the Puri tuis until tioih had la-en settled many years in their chosen homes.

The PuritAiis came eight yeurs later, and established the English Crown Colony of M-s.n-h!ietU Bay. Tim Pilgrims were English, but long sepa rated from E igiau 1 when th-y earn t Plymouth. They owed n alle giance to the English King, and were ii t connected with the Ivighsh, C.iurch. They maL their own laws aid governed themselves, and formed their own church on the Apostolic? model. The Puritans were sulj'-ets of the Crown, wvre governed from Eng land, and were uieuilr iu g'd stand ing of the English Church. The Ply mouth Colony, the Pilgrims, and the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Puri tans, united in 17 '.rl to form the Massa chusetts Province. Aside from any original difference of reed, there was a decided liitTcrence U-tween the two sects in point of social standing and worldly circumstances. For the most part, the Pilgrims were of humble ori gin, not acquainted with trade, but used to "a plain country life and the innocent trade of husbandry," as Brail- ford descrilasl them, or "north country peasants," as Palfrey says. The Puritans, on the other band, were English wintry gentlemen, edu cated, intelligent, and possessed oftett of fortunes. Many were graduates of universities. As a c!as th -y were fit ted by their abilities ami training to be the founders 4.f States. They came here, not wholly for religious reasons, but to found a free Suite, believing that England, under Charles II., bad lost her lllx-rties. They were iu sympathy with the great Puritan leaders at home, and cane as representatives of them, as piom-ers in a movement which it was believed would grow to large pr; portions. For the Puritans whom Charles had oppressed they would found a new Stale. Religious matters, hiwever, were not l'st sight of ; i;i-d-ed,they were always potent with them, and a mark"! imluemv, especial ly in ch irch gover:im.'Ut, was exerted upon them by the m ?n i;f Plymouth. In fact, the most marked eoutriouiion made to New England polity was the form of church government given by the Pilgrim to the Puritan. Governor Witislow, for example, says that "some of the chief of the Puritans advised with us in respect to a right way of worship and desired to know whereUxin our practice was grounded. We accordingly showed them, " he says, "the primitive practice taken out of the Acts of the Applies and Epistles written to the several churches by the sai 1 Apostles, together with the commandments tf Christ, the L rd, in the ( iosp.-l, and o jr warrant for ev ery particular we did from the B k of God." Endicott, writing t G ver:ior Bradford from S.ilem in V-. thanks him for sending Dr. Fuller to them. He says that he has b.'en s itisi.-l by Dr. Fuller in regard to the oatwar I form of G d's worship. This L'r. Ful ler was a Ivacou of the Church of Ply mouth. He explained the Piym Kith methods of procedure in both civil ami church matters ; Governor Endicott accepted his views. B.-yond his iurlj enee in directing church policy, the Pilgrim made no special mark in New England, having leen fully absorbed and directed bv the abler and sturdier Puritan. In concluding his review of Dr. Byingtou's late work on the Puri tan, Mayo W. Huzvlton, says: "We can estimate the social and family life of the Puritan from its re sults in the ty jes of character which we find in their descendants. We are living among j.i.p!e of the eighth generation from the founders of New England. That is a long periotl through which to transmit distinctive traits. Nevertheless, the New Eng land type of mind, after l!70 years, is still almost as distinct in the great stream of American life as is the Gulf stream in the Atlantic. The Puritan type is very persistent. The men and women of Puritan blood, wherever we find them, are apt to l.-e jienple of vig orous intellect, thrifty habits, invent ive genius, ami strong moral charac ter. They stand for li'mrty in the church aud in the state. The leaders of liberal thought and also a large pro port Km of the conservative leaders have U-eti descendants of the Puritans. No other section of the Anglo-Saxon race has excelled the Puritaus in the number -f great men. and of good men, scholars and statesmen, and soU tliers, that it has produced." Costly PtatLers- While there are probably hundred of men who nuke a husmessof killing birds for their feathers, says the Port land Oregoniaii, the be-t-known if the feather-hunters in the West is Hamlin Smith, the white chief of the Cocoiiah Indians. Their reservation includes most of the land on Madeline Bay. Ir the marshes of this bro vd sheet of wa ter are found the egret heron, and crane in large numlvrs. Smith reached San FrancisD a week or so ago with sever al bags of feat hers, eh ietly egret. Tile load weighed les than four pounils, but it netted Mr. Smith sl-"7i Even the heron's feathers tvine high. They fetch at wholesale from $S to $M ait ounce. One heron, Mr. Smith says, will yield often feathers worth MX If herons are more plentiful than egret, they are more profitable hunting, be cause there is only a small tuft of cov ering on the egret that is marketable.
