fice. He completed the address, and

went home rather gloating on the mis- ' ery that it would c&use the young wo- | man.

But the last two evenings had been as balm to Alice’s wounded heart. Mr. Joe Purvis and the bicycle had pre- vemted her from asking herself whether or not she could live without Hills, She had just surrendered herself to the absorbing wheel, and was full of grati- tude to the nice young man who had taught her to ride it. Instead of cry- ing at nights she had come home with tired knees and well-oxygenated blood,

| and had slept like a beautiful little statue of the maiden in the arms of

Morpheus.

And then, actually, when she got in after that curt sood-night there was ' * We can have quite a spin by the electric light

you will come,” he said.

“ All right,” said Alice, with a glitter And they mounted and

elided away, and the last thing that Hills saw that night before he got to his gwn door was the spectacle of Alice ; and Purvis wheeling along side by side in great style, and looking as happy

nd handsome as possible. f

That was the last time he saw her

| for many, Many months, for soon af-

terwards he changed his lodgings and betook himself to his studies with re

doubled vigour. Alice tore up his let- ter after reading it once. She took the piece of platter out of her trunk, kissed it, and pitched it out of the window.

“IT say Hills, have you heard that old Purley is dead,” said a fellow student, as they sat together in the examination hall previous to the papers being given out,

“ No; is that so ?” said Hills, rather startled.

“ Yes,” said his friend, who came from the next township, “and cut up remarkably well I hear; left the girls They say the little one’s

is getting on like a house afire at the Dicycle trade.”

Just then the questions were ziven out. The information he had receiv- ed did not make Hills falter at his eXams. But it formed an undercur- rent to his thoughts.

He kad no time, however, for his Wits to be wool-gathering until after the exominations. In the week of rest that followed them he began to think of Nell. His memory brought up that scene of the summer evening, when she played “Annie TLaurie.”’ He re- membered with gratification that she had given many signs that she rather liked him. If he came out well in thes2

| ¢Xams.—suppose, for instance, he was

a medallist—he could go back home With some eclat. Her talk about the superiority of city young men would not apply. What a time it was since he had been home! Tender memories of the place began to weave themselves in his mind. He felt sure that Nell would be glad to see him. Dear old Nell, what a woman che was!

When the results came out Hills found with exultation that he was in- Geed the gold medallist. A few days after came a letter from his father—a rare event, for his father was no scribe. The old man was of course delighted with his son’s success. Incidentally the letter gave a piece of news about the Purleys. “JT suppose you have heard of old Mr. Purley’s death. He left the girls well off, a good deal bet- ter than folks expected. Alice is to marry some man in the city. Nell has rented the farm and gone to England to see her dad’s relations.” .

Nell was away a year. She came back to the old home to arrange some roatters of business the following May. Soon afterwards Hills made up his mind to take a holiday and visit the old spot. In the train down his inind Was full of rornantic thoughts. delightful the country was after the ironbound’ smoky city! There was wonderful rejoicing over him at his In the evening he took

| his way to the Purley farm, where he

heard Nell was staying with her ten- ants. He could not help thinking’ of an evening long ago, as he came along the road by Upton's bush. It was just such an evening as this. © As he drew near the back of the orchard he saw a female figure sitting cn the old seat.

“Why, Nell!’ he said, joyfully, as he came up. How handsome she look- ed! How she had developed ! Why she did not look like the same girl.

“Oh, Mr, Hills, how you startled me,” she said.

“ Not unpleasantly, I hope, dear old Nel] °”

“Don’t let us be too sentimental,” she said.

“There are two very important rea- sons against it. In the first place, do you know why I have come to this very place to-night ? Tt is to throw away something.’ She drew from her bosein a little silken bag and produced from it a wee triangle of platter.

“That is a piece of a broken plate, Mr. Hills. It was broken on the boul- der in the orchard. There it goes.” And rising she threw it across into Upton’s bush. “The second reason, Mr. Hills, is that I am engaged to be married to an Englishman.”

The American . working man, zt while he works shorter hours, works harder than

/\ the working man of any other

nation. He

works not only with

his hands

a ee but with his

oS = head. He is

: “Ai an intelli-

RSS ( ED» gent worker

ie and pro-

* duces more in a

given length of

time than the work-

er of any other na-

tion. He not only

exhausts himself physically, but mentally;

not only muscularly, but nervously.

The consequence is that while he is better fed and better housed, he is not, as a rule, as healthy a man as his brother working-man of European countries. More- over, like all Americans, the American working-man is prone to disregard his health and frequently even takes pride in abusing it. It rests with American wives to protect their husbands in this respect. A little watchfulness on the part of the wife will frequently save her husband from a long spell of ill-health and possibly from some fatal illness. When a man feels “ out of sorts” itis because his digestion is dis- ordered or his liver is torpid. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery wiil promptly correct these disorders. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It restores the appetite, makes digestion perfect and the liver active. It purifies the blood and tones the nerves. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asth- ma, weak lungs, lingering cough, spitting of blood and disease of the throat and nasal cavities. Thousands have told the story of its wonderful merits in letters to Dr. Pierce. It may be had at any medicine dealer’s.

*““Your ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ cured me of a severe case of poisoning of the blood,” writes Mrs. Selia Ricca, of Coast, Santa Cruz Co. Cal. “‘That was two years ago, and I have not had a boil or sore of any kind since.”

It is as easy to be well as ill—and much more comfortable.. Constipation is the . cause of many forms of illness. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules. One lit- tle ‘‘ Pellet’’ is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathartic. Dealers in medicines sell them.

The Mistake She Made.

Ata party the hostess said to a guest: “T want you to entertain Mr. Blank a little. He looks bored to death. I will introduce him, and you must try to amuse hin. You know his strong point is but- ter, on which he has written a book.”’

The lady guest graciously undertook the task of entertaining the man, inwardly wondering that he should be so interested in butter—of which she knew very little —when his face indicated a mind given to much profound thinking.

However, with butter in view, she began on the weather, gradually got to the coun- try, then on to a farm, from that to cows, and at last to butter. The man looked more bored than ever, the magic word but- ter producing not the slightest effect, and he left her somewhat abruptly and soon withdrew from the house.

‘‘I did my best,’’ she explained to the hostess. ‘‘I went through agonies to prove that I was deeply interested in butter, but it was all in vain.”’

‘‘Butter!’’ exclaimed the hostess. ‘‘What possessed you to talk to that man, of all men, on butter? Itold you he had just written a book on Buddha, and I knew how decply you two were interested in the saine subject. ”’

And they said in chorus, ‘‘Gracious!’"— Strand Magazine.

Navai apprentices. third class, are enlist- ed on board the receiving ships at the large navy yards on both coasts. They must be between the ages of 14 and 1?, have the consent of their parents and guardians and agree to serve until they are 21 years of age. To enter they must be of robust frame, intelligent, and, asthe regulation goes, ‘‘be of perfectly sound and healthy constitution, free from any physical defects or malformation and not subject to fits.'’ They must be able to read and write, though in special cases, where the boy shows a general intelligence, he may be enlisted notwithstanding that his reading and writing are imperfect. No boy who has been convicted of crime or is of known bad character can be en- listed. Upon enlistment he receives his outfit and is entered on the ship’s books as entitled toa monthly payment of $9 and a@ ration.—Harper’s Round Table.
