4 FEW BOARDERS.

(CONCLUDED. )

Poor little Sylvia was beginning to comprehend that marrying a rich old screw was not the shortest way to perfect happisess !

Bat a woman defied becomes a woman danzerous, and Mrs. Peter Pensico de- termined that she would not be conquered.

Four days after the appearance of the advertisement, which cost so much time and pains, three young gentlemen applied for board. te J

Mr. Pensico assumed a magisterial nspect. : ‘ ;

‘Ten dollars a week is my fixed price, suid he; ‘but as there are three of you, I doa’t miad sayiog twenty-five dollars.

And on these terms Messrs. Jones, Browa and Smith beeame possessors of the three best bed-rooms in the cottage, driving Mr. Pensico to a sofa bedstead io the back parlor. Lie

‘Are we always to live so?’ plaintively demanded Mrs. Pensico. ;

‘Qne shouldo’t mind a little incon~ venience, my dear, when a matter of | twenty-five dollars a week is at stuke,’ said Mr. Peosico, with an air of superior wisdom.

Bat as the days wore oo, and Messrs. Jones, Brown and Smith began to feel

themselves more at home, matters began

to be less pleasant to Mr. Peter Pensico.

‘My dear,’ said the pater familias to bis young wife one day, ‘do you think it is quite dignified for you to be romping | out on the lawn with those three young men ?’ nw

‘I wasn’t remping,’ retorted 8; lvia, with a pout, that showed the coral curve of her lip to the very best advantage. ‘1 was only playing croquet. You charged we especially to try aud make things agreeable to the boarders, didn’t you ?’

This was on Monday. On Tuesday Mrs. Pensico went fishiug with the three boarders, Pensico might have gone too —perhaps—only that the beat was capable of holding four.

Ov Wednesday there was a Picnic up the river, to which Mr. Smith invited Mrs. Pensico, On Thursday Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown had a “ camp out”’ io the woods, of which Mrs. Pensico and one Miss Tomlinson, of the neighberhood, formed an indispensable accompaniment,

Ov Friday Mr, Brown undertook to jay out Mr. Pensico’s verbena bed in true landseape style. On Saturday it rained, and Mr. Jones, who was considerable of an elocutionist, read poetry alone to Mrs. Pensico, while she darned the family hose. On Sunday Mr. Smith drove Mrs, Pevsico to « church ten miles away, io an elegant buggy, with a long tailed horse.

‘This is getting intolerable,’ said Mr. Pensico. .

Aod be wished he hadn’t written that advertisement.

But this was nothing to his chagrio of the next day, when he found Mr. Smith sitting out under the apple trees with his arm uround Sylvia's waist,

‘Sir!’ thundered Mr. Pensico,

‘Eh ?’ said the boarder,

‘ Leave my premises!’ said the grocer.

‘I’ve just paid a week’s board io advance,’ suggested Mr. Smith,

‘Take back your wretched dross!’ bellowed Mr. Pensico, flinging a roll of bills ow the grass. ‘Go! Depart! Lose no timé, and take those other twu young men with yon. 1 am sick of boarders !’

And so the three young men departed. When once the garden gate was closed than Mr. Pensico elevated his right arm theatrically in the air.

‘ Never—never will I receive another boarder into my family,’ said he. ‘As for you, false wife—’

‘No; but is it ‘honor bright’ about the boarders ?’ interrupted Mrs. Pensico, with sparkling eyes.

‘| swear it by yonder cerulean blue!’ said Mr. Pensico, who bad just been read- ing ‘St.*Kimo.’ .

‘Certain sure ?’ said Mrs. Pensico.

‘ Certain sure !’ said the husband,

‘Jo'that case,’ said Mrs. Pensico, ‘I may as well tell you pow, as any time, that Jobe Brown and Ferdinand Jones are my cousins, and that Charlie Smith ia my brother.

‘Eh ?’ gasped Mr. Pensico, ‘ was. it— was it a conspiracy ?’

‘They wanted board io the country,’ said Mrs. Pensico, ‘and you wanted boarders.’

A lieavy weight seemed to be lifted from Mr. Pensico’s heart as he remember- ed the arm around Sylvia's waist. So it was only her brother! And little Sylvia hadu't played the married flirt, atter all!

He took his wife io his arms and gave her a hearty kiss.

* My dear,’ said he, ‘ you’re a mischie- vous little girl, but I forgive you. And I guess we'll give up the boarder busivess.’

Which was all that Mrs, Pensico wany ted.

‘| was determined to conquer him,’ thought she, ‘ and i've did it.’

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases been caused by outward application as the present, It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

)R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe vourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and otlier poisonous. material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters, One trial is a sufficient. guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundredg to your friends,

Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvin’s CApst- cuM Porous PLAster, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one. $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
