I told you, didn't I? that it was out on the shores of Lake Umbagog, without a house for two miles arouind ?" "Oh, yes, I know," said Cynthia, with a little shudder, "but I didn't know about the bald eagles scream ing, and the horrid mooses with their big horns, and the lap-lap of the water on the shore! I declare, sometimes it seems as if 1 should go mad in this horrible solitude !" "You'll get used to it arter awhile," said Uncle Fin, who was cleaning his gunbarrel with a piece of one of his old shirts- "I did." "But you aren't a woman, Uncle Fin." "I declare to good1ness, I never thought of that!" said the old man, with a chuckle. "It is pretty rough on a woman to have nobody to talk to -now, isn't it? Wal, if you'll get into the boat arter supper, i'll take you over to see Indian Oscelita. It's only three miles round the point, and she'll show you how to staff birds, and do fancy work with their quills, and play on the n'andoiine, and all that sort of thing. She's a right smart gal, Osoelit a is, and pretty into the bargain. She's Pilot John's darter, and her mother was the handso:nest Indian woman hereabout." "Thank you," said Miss Cynt bie., drawing herself up, "but I am not vet reduced so low as to seek the asso:ia tion of an Indian squaw." "Oh, go along !" said good-natured Uncle Fin. -"Oiss ain't that. Per mother .was as white as most white women, and her father's a fine-lookin' old chap yet.

"She may as well save herself- the trouble," observe'd Miss Cople-y. "Oh-h-h !" said Uncle Fin, with a prolonged whistle. "You're too gen tel to scrape spoons with Iudian Oi elits, oh?

There were eleven of them in the household nest, and when Cynthia c..o home, with a racking cough a.ad nothing to do, it made a little, a'wh ward ness. But just then arrived Unele Fin, brown, beaming and uproariously good-natured. "Eleven, eh?' he said to his care worn brother. "Just the right num, her ; not one too many. And if Cyn thi's delicate, just send her out to spend a summer with me on the shores of Lake Umbagog. That'll set her right, if anything will. Why, bless your heart, man, there's health iu every whiff of the pine woods~, and red cheeks in every gale that co:nes across the water !

Was it any wonder that the demon homesickness took possession of her beart? Uncle Fin, onhis part, had not been ent.irely wituout the pangs of disap paintment. Cynthia was not much company for him after all. She could uot cook half so well as he could; she mended his stockings so bungingly that they hurt his feet ; and she for got to make his bed every other day on an average. "Ab, well '' he consoled himself, "I s'pose all womenare alike. Indian Oscelita ain't cut arter that pattern, though,. I'm level sure of that." Oscelita Dean came one day on her father's steamer to the little dock, with an offering of freshly gathered blueberries, radiantly spotted birds' eggs. and fan of eagle plumes made by her own hands. "Ab, thanks !" said Cynthia, to3sing her head. "I don'tcare for birds egg collections. We've plenty of blue berries here. What do you ask for the eagle fan?" Oscelita colored a little. "I meant it for a present," saii she. "Will you accept it?" "I couldn't think of such a thing !" said Cynthia, primly, "I never re ceive presents." "Then I shall leave it for Mr. Cop ley," said Oscelita, smiling, as she hung it over the old hunter's big chair. "He will like it, Iknow." Cynthia looked quickly around. Was it possible the Oscelita was man ouveringto entrap Uncle Fin for a husband? He would be quite fool enough to fall into the trap. "You can do as you please about that," said she, knitting with all her might. "You are very Ionely here," said Oscelita, in her soft, flute-like voice. "It's the dismalest place I ever came across in my lire !" said Cynthia, pet tishly. "I doesn't. seem so to me, ' said Oineiita. "In my eyes it is home." "Tastes difier,"said Cynthia, with a well-emphasized sniff. Blut as she sat there, she could see that Osclita was tall and slender, with a complexion of the richest olive ; dark, liqluid eyes, and hair like jet floss silk. And, all in a second, she fet how elderly and sallow and plain she herself was!i But she was the R~ev. Dr. Copley's daughter, and O)sceiita, after all, was nothing but the waif and stray of these wildernesses. "1 have bceen wishing to come and see you this long tirne," snid Oscelita, in her low, mildl tonie. "Much obliged, I am sure," sea Cynthis. 'But I have resources with in myself which preclude loneliness." "I1s there nothing I can do for you?" persisted Oscelitn, think ing a the lit.tle boat wheret- 14 she 'ras wont to row ouct in the pink s'uurae aLfter water-lilies ; of the hidden wood nooks; the lovely little brook., whither no one coul.l conduct the travnzer but herself.

And now began the real course of life. Miss Cynthia took out her guitar, screwed up its strings, and practiced so desperately that not a bald eagle remained with ear-shot of the Point. She perseccted Uncle Fin into grub bina up stumps and leveling do,gn the eround for a tennis course, and she unpacked the nets and balls; she placed her water -colored sketches around in the most conspicuous places, and posed herself at sunset, with her easel and :>rushes, just where Captain Sydford would be most likely to see her when he alighted from the boat at supper-time. "She's a queer old customer," saidi the captain to himself. "If she will perch herself in those exposed spots, sme high wind will blow her into the ia e eay Ottawa" saia Cynthia, almost in a scream. "Good gracious me, Uncle Fin! why didn't you say so before?" "Didn't think of it," said Uncle Fin. "Bless your heart, we get all sorts of folks this a-way ! Lord Dufferin him self came down here and stayed all night at Peter Piffin's, the guide-s hut. Lnd we had a bank burglar at Eagle Bay for a week." And straightway Miss Cynthia Copley laid the foundations for an air. castle whose pinnacles rose to the. very clouds. She cooked the daintiest dishes in her repertoire. She played the guitar of moonlight nights, and talked general literature to poor' Captain Sydford, until he fell asleep more than once, with his chair tipped back against the side of the little porch, and snored audibly. "I think it is making some impres sion upon him," she mused. "He looked at me twice yesterday just as if he were going to say something. If he would only propra de! a tely, all would be well." And that very evening Captain Algernon Sydford broke the spell of silence, spurred on thereto by Miss Copley's broad hints. "I suppose you'll think me a giddy young creature, captain," giggled she. "I assure you I don't think anything of the sort!" said Captain Sydford, with emphasis. "But one can't help one's thoughts, went on Cynt-hig, "and I have been wondering so much why you never married !" "Oh, that's all going to be set right now !" said the captain, "Gracious me I" fluttered Miss Cynthia. "I mean to take a wife back with me to Ottawa," went on Captain Sydford, with unaccustomed frank ness. "To tell the truth, Mis's Cop ley, I have lost my heart in this pine wilderness." "Do you really mean it ?" murmured Miss Copley, with a little gasp. "Of course I mean it," said Captain Sydford, with his face fairly radiant. "Then there can be no harm in con fessing that-that I've loved you from the very first moment that I set eyes on you I" gurgled Miss Cynthia., throw ing herself in Captain Sydford's arms, in as close an imitation as possible of atragic actress whom she had once seen in Boston. "Oh, dearest Alger non, I am s-s-so happy 1" But Captain Sydford rose up with eceeding promptness ard deposited her carefully on the calico drapeJl lounge, as if she were a brown paper parcel. "My dear Miss Copley," said he, "you are entirely mistaken. It isn't you I mean at aUl. I. am engaged to Miss Oscelita Dean. We are to be married to-morrow. I thiink she will be too happy to have you witness the ceremony, if you care to come." But Miss Cynthia had run, sobbin; and shrieking, out of the room. She dent back to Rhode Islan-1 the next week, and by a strange combina tion of circumstances she traveled 0o) the same train which carried M4r. an-i Mrs. Captain Syd ford to Boston -the captain exultantly happy, Oscelita swet and shy asi a wild flower.

A Irappy Release After B .th Had About Given Up. From the ca'ecasion. Clinton. .V C. We had boon reliably informed that J1. P. Bailey. of Warsaw, Dublin Co.. N. C., had been cured of consumption, and sent a re porter to see him atnd make a report. believ ing that the facts would be welco:ne to many readers of this paper. We found Mr. Bailey strong in the belief that he. ha-1 had con sumption, though his physician. Dr. W. P. E ennedy, stated the case in a little different way. The doctor said: "Mr. Bailey was suffering fi-om overwork and chronic malarial poisoning, with some of the symptoms of chronic rheumatism and a general run-down condition of his system. "Boils prevented him from work a part of the time. Bronchitis and spitting of blood were sources of greatt annoyance to him." It is probably true that the doctor was cor ret. though without doubt Mr. Bailey would eventually have gone into consumption, as this disease frequ:ntly follows the symptoms and conditions above given. He was thor oughly cured, however. Mr. Bailey said to the reporter: "In the spring of '94 I began farm work. Soon I found my health failing and a ha':h ingeough my constant companion. "I grew so weak that I could no longer work. My cough became so severe that I was unable to sleep, and I was conMantly spitting up blood and corruption. My phy sician could give me no resief and I contin ued to grow weaker and weak'-r. I had well nigh given up all hope or livng, much less being restored to my usnat strength when a friendl called my attentios t-o testimonials as to the value of 'Dr. William,.

In less than two months' time I was a well man, and three be,xes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did the work. "Is it any wonder,~' queried Mr. Bailey, "that I sing the nrais:c of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when they han-. -done so much for me? liut for the timely use of them I would to-day he in my ;r-ave and I want the world to know of tneir inealculable vnlue as a medicine. The reporter having heard that Mr. John H. Loftin. of Warsaw. had been cured of rheumatism by the use of three boxes of DS. Williams' Pinik Pm lb, irnterviewed him with the fol,ving result. Said Mr I.oitin: "I sur fere i intens6ly w-ith rheumatism for ted months. I we.s entirely helpless for two months. I tried various remedies but none of them did me aoy good. Having heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and their wonderful eurative powers. I pr-ocured a 'tox and. b'gan the use of tthem with wonderfnl effect.
