a meeting in the City Road Chapel, extolling
the virtues of Wesley. Archdeacon
Farrar delivored a loug ami eloquent
eulogy of John Wesley, in the course
of which lie snid tliut he regretted, as a
Churchman, that the Church, 100 yenrs ago,
had not tho wisdom to assimllalo with the

be proud. Hhc wax tho nieco of a friend t
of liadley'*, nod when ho proponed to; cl
her, nftcr a long, despairing courtship,' n
he was astounded to find himself ac-i h
cepted. It seemed itieredibio that such h
a perfoct croaturo could ever he hiaown, ii
but after ho had somewhat recovcrod
from his transports his practical nature? a
asserted itself, and ho began to retrench L
his expenses fn preparation for the event.
Thus it wax that ho eventually answered ?
au udvortisemont for a room-mate. j
It so hap|Huicd that the other occupaut
of tho room was also a reporter, although d
a very different Htiunp of man. John n
Ashton wax a meteoric genius. Ho wan I
a waif from dead and gone Bohemia.
His forte was the strange, tho mid, and s
the grotesque, and his startling and un- i
looked-for strokes had gouc far toward
making the Chronicle famous. In his i!vld t
ho was invaluable, and ho had long sines p
killed his chance for promotion hy merit- t
ing it too much. d
The Nmoa-Iferabt, as everybody knows, ,
is published in tho afternoon, while tho H
Chronicle is a morning daily, and Had- y
ley, who hud madn his arrangements f
through tho landlady, was disappointed, R
when ho awoke early on tho tirst day in (

faqy And slight form, relaxed in tho Ian- I t
guor.pf deep, sleep, prompted him to ( \
dii-Jta as. ipiietly as possible and slip out <
without awakening tho other. , <
.IV turned out, to lladley's iutlnlto 1
elpigohl, and probably to Ashton's secret ;
amusement, that this wns no more acci'

1 ouch was the curious train of eventf
'which had carried tlicui through one
summer and into an autumn that brought
to Had Icy many a miserable heartache.
A shadow had somehow fallen across tho
honest fellow's love affair. It was hard* 1
ly to be defined in terms; that was the
worsi of i?*-it was so intangible; so dif. i
licult to say just what was wrong. There :
was a change iu Alice. She was silent; ,
she was distraught; her tears came and ;
wont like April rain. Yet s'uc proicstod ,
that nothing was amiss, and met his
well-meant questioning with an jtnpationce
that surprised nod frightened him; i
for he did not know very much of wo- '
men. and her asseverations sounded to
his ears liko confessions in disguise.
Above all, lie felt a cumbersome untlt- I
uess to cope with the situation. It was 1
like a plow-boy essaying to probe a sen- j
sitivc wound nn?t nt lomrth he feared to I
speak lest he should precipitate some unknown
crisis.
Thus it w as, when at dusk one autumn
lay lie walked from the office to Alice's
home to pay one of his customary visits.
It was an indolent evening, suave with
I lie spell of Indian summer, and through
the dreamy haze that wrapped the city
even the limn of traffic sounded faint and '

at lho approach of night. Ho fell into a ;
I vague icvoriv as lie walked ou, and when
' he stopped mechanically before the house
lie did not ring at once, but sat down
upon a liltic bench just within the gnto
and masked by lilac-bushes. ,
The narcotic calm of the seeno and |
hour had lulled lum into serenity, and ;
I night fell unmarked, until, at length, a i
familial voice broke in upon bis medita- '
L tinns He recognized it on the instant J
ab Alice Sf Due to wn* n?in^|jpfj with
deeper tones that w ere unfamiliar to him. I
Although no:word* bad yet detached
themselves frbm the tangle of sound, it i
seemed to liim that one voice was urging |
and one remonstrating. Presently they j
came nearer and stopped by the gate.
"Oh, I cannot! i cannot!" some one
cried. It was Alice's voice, and although i
there was not a jot of the spy in Hadley'a !
nature, something in the intonation held ,
him spell-hound.
"But why not?" said the other voice, !
a melodious baritone?low, persuasive, I
thrilling. "But w hy not? 11 was a rou- ;
ditional promise; the conditions have '
changed and that is ''
"No; it is not that," broke in the j
girl. She was speaking <]uietly, Lut a 1

wordi. "Ob, can't you understand! Ha
is honest and true, and I could not break
bis heart!"
A moisture sprang on Had ley's forehead
and very slowly be opened and
dosed his bands. There was pause, and
then the pleasant baritone again:
'"Are there no rivers in Damascus?
What of ray heart, Alioef" Hadley
beard no more. Something seemed to
mlTocato him. His breath went no
iurtnyr man than his throat, and the
dusky web of lilac branches danced in
black and shapeless phantasmagoria be-'
fore his eves. He was dlralv conscious
r>f a patter of feet, a ware of perfume,|
snd gush of yellow light as the hall door:
clashed often and shut, and then he knew
fie was alono again.
Alone! A hideous sense of lose, and
titter,hopeless desolation, such as he had
icver felt and never dreamed of. over- .
whelmed him. He did not think; he did {
iot dare to think. He staggered to his
cet, opened the gate Hnd passed out.
To run away, to elude this thing as if
t was some sentient, palpable pursuer,
vat the first impulse that possessed him,
ind he hurried on, blindly, stumbllngly,
ic eared not whore. How far he walked
bus he had no means of knowing, but
vhcn he stopped it was on a thronging

narked after midnight, nnd a faintnoss
liegan to assail him, a deadly reaction
that turned his knees to water. The
careless, alien crowd jarred on him, tho
barbaric Hpendor of tho windows smote
upon his brain; he wanted to bo alono,
*nd presently ho saw the open doorway
jf a cafe and entered.
A low pcoplo sat at tables horc nnd
here,; atifl on one hand were the cur.nincd
doorways of a row of little rooms
lr stalls. He walked instinctively
owsrd one of theso and drew tho
Irapury asido. A man within, who was
susing, apparently, over a bottle and a
ialf eaten meal, turned at the sound,
ud the room-mates looked one another 1
d the face. 1

Hut llndlcy did not tind tho story so

44I am engaged to bo married," ha
said, at length.
"Ho! ho!" cried Ashton. ,4I forsce
a stern parent, with a prejudice against
literary characters." Then something
iu tho other's face checked him, and ho
dropped his tone of levity. ''Forgive
me." he said, gently. "What is this
trouble of yours? You need not mention
the lady's name, of i.ourso. Make
it n hypothetical case."
"Oh, no!" said Hadloy, "I can confldo

Ashton was leaning over the table
toying with a glass, but at the words ho
rose involuntarily and fixed his eyes upon
the other with strange and challenging
ittgmu. iiatllcy paused for a moment
with a dim and troubled conscience that
ho hnd touched some hidden spring;
but only for a moment, and then, slowly
and incoherently, ho told his story.
Ashtou sank back as ho proceeded and
heard him in silencn to the end.
"Do you know this man?" he asked,
when it was done.
"No," replied ITadley, gloomily.
"What does it matter who he is?"

"Iladloy," he demanded, suddenly,
"do you really intend to marry this girl?
But pshaw?" lie continued, "you are too
honest to boa tritlor. And this fellow
?why, a thousand to one lie is amusing
himself looking for a new sensation, and
has no more use for a wife than lie would
Iiiito for ft bishopric. You must have
saved some money, have you not?"
'' Yc?," mud iindiey, rather surprised;
' I have a few thousand dollars in hank."
'Well," sighed Ashton, "this is a
world of fact, but wo can't nil grasp it.
Home men are made for homes and some
fire not. I might have ten times youl
incomo, and the last chapter would find
mo a vagabond. I tell you, Hadley, you
havo no real rival. This is a shadow
that has already passed, and shadow!
leave no trace."
"What shall I do?" he asked.
"Do? Why, do nothing. For heaven's
sako don't distress the girl with questions. "
I tell you this belongs to the past. Forget
it. Bury it. Act as if nothing had
happened, and all will come right in the
end. If I were you I would make it convenient
to be away foi a few days. She
will miss you, depend upon it, and you
can begin where you left oil. Can't you
arrange to go away?"
"I think so," said Hadley. "When
had I best go?'
"Go to-morrow. You will come back
a now man and find her eager to welcome
you." i
Hadley reflected a moment.
"I will take your advice." he said.

One of 'he incidents of a hard and
long continued frost if the suffocation of
fish and eels in small ponds whore no
thoughtful person has broken holes in
the ice to permit tho aeration of the
water which is necessary for tho continuance
of fish life. When ponds are thus
hermetically sealed eels appear to suffer
more than any other fish. On a holo being
broken thoy como to tho surfaoo in a

caught. At Diglis, near Worcester, a
number of eels have been caught in this
way, tho instrument of CADturo bcimr a

condition and ?a? taken out without

l largest the country over, the
world over; it has grown, step
by step, through the years to
greatness?and it sells patent
medicines!?ugh f

papers good money (expensive
work, this advertising!)
to tell the people that tney
i have faith in what they sell,
so much faith that if they can't
benefit or cure they don t want
your money. Their guarantee
is not indefinite and relative,
but defutile and absolute? if
the medicine doesn't help,
your money is "on call."
Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman tried
these medicines and found
them worthless, who would be
the loser, you or they ?
The medicines are Doctor

and his " Favorite Prescription,"
for woman's peculiar ills.
If they help toward health,
they cost $1.00 a bottle

"German
Syrup"
J. C. Davis, Rector of St. James'
Episcopal Church, Eufaula, Ala.:
" My son has been badly afflicted
with a fearful and threatening cough
for several months, and after trying
several prescriptions from physicians
which failed to relieve him, he has
been perfectly restored by the use ol
two bottles of BoAn
Episcopal schee's German Syrup.
I can recomRoctor.
mend it without
hesitation." Chronic
severe, deep-seated coughs like this
are as severe teshs as a remertv rnn
be subjected to. It is for these longstanding
cases that Boschee's German
Syrup is made a specialty.
Many others afflicted as this lad
was, will do well to make a note of
this.
J. K. Arnold, Montevideo, Minn.,
writes: I always use German Syrup
for a Cold on the Lungs. I have
never found an equal to it?far less
a superior. (D

Betide* being valuable ** fuel, it has
other use* which make it on* of the

paia to abate; by leaving it on for aa
hour, the burn seems almost healed
when the wound i* superficial. Tainted

Strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts
or over dead animals, charcoal prevents
UQplrwwot ixlon. foul ?Uw U
by it. It is s great disinfectant, and
sweetens offensive air if placed in shallow
trays around apartments. It is so
verv ooroua that it absorb* and rnnrf?niM
gases rapidly. One cubic iuch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly one hundred
inches of gaseous ammonia. Charcoal
forms an excellent poultice for malignant
wounds and sores. In cases of what is
called proud flush it is invaluable. It gives
no disagreeable odor, corrodes no metal,
hurts no texture, injures no color, is a
simple and safe sweetener and disinfectant.
A teaspoonful of charcoal in half
a glass of water often relieves sick headache.
It absorbs the gases and relieves
the distended stomach, pressiug against
tbo nerves which extend from the stomach
to the head.

The sudden appearance upon the
ground of a considerable supply of an
pie of Asiatic Turkey Wjufttfll It
came during a heavy fall of rain between
Merdin and Diarbekir, and covered
a circular area some six or eight miles in
circumference. 8ome of it was gathered
up and made into bread, which was of
good taste and very digestible. Bpeclmens
of the substanco have since been
submitted to botanists, who find that it
is in form of small grains, yellow outside
and white and mealy inside, and that it
is a lichen known to occur in some of the
arid regfbns of Western Asia. It is supposed
that tbo grains were drawn up in
a water spout and transported by tho
wind at a considerable height in the atmosphere.
A French traveler has reported
that a similar fall of this liohen
occurred in many parts of Porsia in 1828,
when it covered the ground to the depth
of nearly an iuch, and was eaten by animala
and collected hv tho inhabitants.
Many other falls are said to have boen
mentioned.?Trenton (N. J.) American.
