r 1 never guessed that; the child had found her Romeo until one evening when --girl fashion-we were curled down by the open window of my room. I happened to remark that they said Dr. Downs was going to enlist, For one moment her face and l eck seemed dyed scarlet, then she sat white as mar- ble, a look of terror in her lovely eyes that I never could describe. Her un- accountable show of emotion barely stayed the banter that was on my ton- gue’s end concerning the doetor's atten- tions of late. Dr. Blake Downs was a man of, perhaps, thirty-two years; the support of a widowed mother and in- valid sister ; a man who had been a sort of older brother to us young girls; sometimes escorting one, sometimes an- other, until the, idea had sprung up among us that he was a confirmed bachelor. There were any number of single ladies, near his own age, in the village, who boldly angled for him , but he seemed to fall back to 'the children’ -as he called us-for refuge. Bat now -what did this mean? Just the one ttting, , Tess was in love with him ; and -suddenly remembering a good many things I had only given a passing thought 1oefore--f concluded he was in the same boatc-"O, Tess I” I cried, "what is it ; why didn’t you tell me be- Among our gentlemen friends we both had plenty of heaux, but. of Jovers we had only vaguely dreamed until the Spring of TI, when we were eighteen, l gradually had become aware of a change In Tess. She was sweeter and redder-lipped than ever, at the same time shyer and more absent-mind- ed , and she entirely ceased talking of love in acottage or of love at all. 1 don't know how I came to be so stupid, unless because of my inexperience, but fore 2/'--"What's what " It ain't any- thing, oh dear!" Then she hid her once more blushing face in my lap and began to cry: For once in my life I was quite speechless, so sat pulling, at her curls and waiting for her to get quiet. By and by she looked up, smile ing through her teat's,-reminding, me ot a. ray of sunshine glinting out through an April shower-and said _ "Truly, didn't you guess it before '."- " 'Truly,' I did not," I replied feeling very meek and stupid.--'] thought everyone must see how foolish and hair, py I am ;but oh Molly, are you sure about the enlisting?

On the other hand I had grert literary aspirations and despised the homely duties which my parents, limit. ed income made incubent upon me. "I shall teach school for awhile," I eordid- ed to Tess, "until I can save enough to go abroad and prepare myself for my life work, which shall be authorship, of course. Someday I will bring out a book which will turn the eyes of the reading world at once upon the humble author." Tess would smilingly pat the bit of fancy work that invariably occu- pied her tingers during our tetewtetes, and say: "How I shall love to sit and sew while my 'John' reads to me from the pages of said book, on the front porch of our ilower-bedecked cottage; and how proudly I will say, 'she was my dearest friend , I knew her well.' If -"And will you really be content,” I would gravely and dissxpprovitogly in- quire, "co settle down to the hunidruni duties of a housewife, to drudge until your beauty fades and have no more appreciation, admiration or hire than has the average wife 1"-vCf Romeo were there," she would laughingly re ply. "You know I am not ambitious and handsome like yourself, Molly." Wheth- er she really admired my dark, fiery style as much as she professed or not I never could determine; but if she did it was all owing to the law of contrar- iety.

Formerly he went into a town, pitched his tent, disposed of the lemonade privilege, drew an enormous crowd, got up and said : They're tiny, sugar-coated granules a compound of refined and concentrated vegetable extracts-the smallestin size, the easiest to take, and the cheapest pillyou can buy, for they're guaran- teed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. You pay only for the good you get. "There are probably a fow good' 'pegple preseyt, but I waat to say right here, witly/ a fear of successful contra- diction, thnb the majority 6f you are thieves, liars and hypocrites." __ They're put up in a better way, and they act in a better wayhthan the huge, olriushioned pills.

That's the way Dr. Pievee's Pleasant Pellets come. And its a more import- ant point than you think. T It keeps them always fresh and reliable, unlike the ordinary pills in cheap wooden and pasteboard boxes. For a time this sur: of evangelistic work had a charming novelty. It was like an Amazon march after the slow and dull drag of the strictly legitimate and therefore tedious (llama. People came long distances and jammed them- selves into a suffocating tent merely to hear '.thernselves denounced as rattle- snakes, venemously striking at all things moral. The innocent girl, tem der of heart and with a soul of purity, heard for the first time that, because she had seen "Hamlet" she was as low as the keeper of a dance house in a river town. The father learned that he was abrute, and the mother was brought to understand that she was permitting her children to drift straiglltway to perdition. But how charmingly unique this was. The local preacher was good and kind; he visited There was so much talk in those days, about love and duty?.',that women sought to hide their bleeding hearts under an assumed cloak of patriotism , but it wore them out none the less, In time quite a. company was organized in our place, under "Captain" Downs, but when I came to bid my father and hro- ther good-by, my patriotism forsook me and war took on quite a dieerent ata'- pect. I was with Fess in ten minutes after her strong, handsome lover had placed his last kiss on her lips, but she scarcely seemed to see or hear me. She just hid her face in her hands and hoarsely' whispered over and over ', "He's gone." Even in memory, I dread tolive over the empty, anxious days that made up our existence after that. Together Tess and I went to the post oflice each evening-we only had mail once a day-longing, for yet dreading, news , together we helped to fill boxes for the soldiers ; together we shared our daily duties and oftimes sleepless nights; but she never laughed and rarely smiled. But one day wild excitement took hold of us; a dispatch said that Captain Downs was seriously wounded. Tess and I carried the news to his mother and sister. Amid all their wailing and forboding, Tess sat unmov- ed, a. bright color in her cheeks and an unwonted sparkle in her eye. "I think he will come home," she said, nor would she entertain any other idea. She was all feverish excitement, a state so diff- erent tron: her past hopeless apathy. Sure enough, in a month, her lover ar- rived, minus an arm and much broken in. way to begin."-"Well it beam all! Bless you, my child, you have my con- grratulat'ons." Then T pulled her up and waltzed her about the room until we were both breathless. D _ In Glass w of his popularity. He H‘HDUHHI there (luring a turbulent sensnn, but h.- is nut there nnw.
