Tho gaunt pear t"oo growing at tho door of t.In; llttlo old weather-worn house whs lu a whirl of Hying blossoms. Tho eruuipod hoot yard and, further out, the sunken woodon planks that - nonred for sldowidk, were hoaped and white with them. Behind tho house, its one stable shining sharply against it, a blaze of saffron revealed tho April sunset. In all the long stroot only two per sons were vlslbto. Ono was a rosy faced woman toiling up from tho grocery store below with bor arms full of smull packages : the other, a lank tall .man, midule-ag'ul. Uko herself, who came slouching ulong from tho opposite direction. They mot ut tho gate of tho littlo house houso. "Well, Raohol." Well, Bill." "How aro yo' gittin' 'long now V I ain't soon vo' to' near two weeks." "Well, only tolcr'hlo. Mother's boon ailin' moro'n ubual. an' l'vo been kop' prottv close. She's bettor now. You look woll, Ulli." 11 Yos, nothin' ever happens to me." Ho loaned his arms upon tho palings ,f before him. "Want any wood chopped, Jtuuhol, or anything heavy moved, or u * null put Id somcwhoros?" " No. BUI: I'm real comfortable jist now.'' " This fence needs tlx I a'." Ho shook it roughly and a plceo of paling broke off in his hand. One strip of timber and a half u <lu/.en nails'd muke it till right again. It's rotten, tho": ho shook it once moro. '?Yes, it's oM, Hill, like most every thing 'bout hire is. A now coat o' whitowash'll ruuke it hotter, I guess." " I won't bo here to put it on fo' yo.' Haehel : I've got u three-months' job down to Rider at Ruvershum. I'm goin' down tho road a piece an' git u lift in his curt, llu's waltin.'fo' me." "I'm real glad to hoar It, Bill." "A good three months' job. Rider's daughter's goin' to git married, an' he's goin' to givo hoi' u house, und I'm to build it?sort o' cousin o" mino yo' know." Ho pulled himself away from tho fcucoand hold out his hand. " Yo'll havo to do without me for awhile, Uuchol: good-bye.'' 1' Good-byjv Bill." -?tf^ipgored yet another minute. ^y>Tio show fo' mo yot. eh, Ruchol V" She shook her hoad. She looked young us she smiled up ut him. With that smile on her fueo she lifted the lutch und lot herself into the llttlo f^roon yard. A daffodil wus blossom ng ut tho foot of tho pear tree. She stooped to pull it, and, currying it like u little candle in her hand, mude her way baek to the kitchen. A bla/.o of sunset blinded her us sho opened the door. She groped her way ueross to tho table in tho corner, and dropped her puekuges in a heap upon It. Two people were speuklng In tho udjoining room. Sho could hour every word that was said. With bonnet in hand she stood listening. " It is fifteen years ago to-day sineo Bill Tipsdale shot my Tom,JMIs' Sim mons." u Yos, 1 remember all bout It, Mis' Fuller." " An' I a'n't never boon able to git ovor his doin' it, neither. An' when ho come hero an' wanted my H?chel, I jist says : ' Xo : no girl o' mino is goin' to marry Into a fum'ly where thoy are sieh fools they p'int loaded guns ut their neighbors." An' he says: ' Yo' know I didn't do It o' purpose, Mis'Fuller.' An' I euys : 'Purpose or no purpose, yo' ain't goin' to git my Haehel.' An' I ain't ever felt like sayln' anything different." Tho old woman turned her gaze to tho wall. There was uo sunset light in this room : the only window opened towurd tho oast und tho pike roud. It was light enough, however for her to see a faco that Stared down upou her from Its time-worn frame on tho bureau. It was a erud, boyish, unsat isfactory faco, but it hud been that of her idol. A shot from Hill Tipsdalo's gun hud shattered iim. She grudged tho very grass its p ivilege of growing over him. "To-morrow's Saturday," Rachel -?wtShToii, "an' l'vo got to git up early, j an' stir 'round an' work. I huvon't a day nex' week I e'n call my own. I'm j goin' up to tho Tumor farm to holp With the Spring eleun'in,' and then the Methodist preacher's wife stopped me down on tho pike, an' asked mo to I eomo an' help her with her sewin'." " Umph." " I don't remember ovor soein' tho trees so full o' bloom. They're just loaded down. Yo can hoo by the pear 1 tree in our garden." Tho shrill old voice callod from the bed : " Yo' e'n bring mo in my dish Of tea, Rachel, and aomo o' thorn sweet rolls, f think I'll oat my supper." Tho daffodil in the glass on the little tablo and u few of its kin ?tili, loft un pullcd la tho neighboring yards woro soon ull that survived of tho April bloom. A stonn raged tho next day; Green Meadows was swept cloun of Its white. May cumo. June Hushed dOWQ upon tho hilly land. Tho bushes that walled in Hill Tipsdalo's little gardon woro heavy with roses. Many j a- time on her way back and forth | lluchel pulled a hundful to put in tho cracked Japanese pitcher on tho ! kitchen shelf. Thoy seemed to bring i her uncouth lover neurer to her. Tho 1 year took a great stride towurd Thanksgiving. There woro scarlet j tarries instead of roses on Bill Tips- j dale's long bushes. On Sunday afternoon H?chel broke Off usprig from an overhanging brunch ! as sho passed by on hor way from | ehureh. "Yo' haven' aeon him lately, have yo'. Ruchol V" Sho turned und faced Mrs. Simmons. "No, not fo' mor'n sovoniinonths, Mia' Simmons." Tho oldor woman stood silont a momont and looked, first at Rachel und then at the barred, smokeless houso standing in tho thin November light, and back ut Raehol again. "They're hardly any o' thorn? hardly any man?worth romomborln' In that way," nodding toward tho berries. "They're pretty," said Raehol rather stlnly. '? Ho ain't as nice as you think he is, ? Raohel," laying a hand on her arm. *? Don't you ovor hear any nows from Haverriham ?" " No; what is tho mattor. Mis' Sim mons ?" " Bill Tipsdalo's ma.-riod to Hester Kid er. Thoy'vo been marriod moro'n a month. "How do yo' know he's marriod to Hester Rider '/" " Folks at Havershain all say so, an' Simmons asked old man Rldor an' ho said yes : and that same day ho seen him and Hester walkin' down tho street togothor." "It's strange fo' Hill Tipsdale to do a thing like that, Mis' Simmons." "It's a shame an' a sin, Rachel. Stiekin' to yo' so long, an' then not to know any bettor'n to marry a girl jist Italf'tt as old as ho is." " I don't scorn able to bolleve it at ??." O ??It's s* true as that I'm utandin' in re tollin' vo' nn'yo're standln' hero ll?tentnV Rachel ? topped and plokod nn tho bunch of hcrrioH that had Mdkm oul of her band. ?? Don't yo' go worry fa' '??out li, Haehel. Y<?' wore jo i good fo' hin), any bow." Rachel stanvd steadily into Mrs. si' ilium's face. " There isn't any thing to worry about. Mrs. Simmous. I've always had my mothor to tend to, un' now In' an' cloanin' fo' other folks, an' I'll jist keep on doiu'as I've always done I ain't a baby to go an* knoek my heml against a stone wall." she tram|>ed homeward ci*eet and stern. Once she stopped and flung the rose-hips far out into the middle of the road. A little cloud of dust rose up and hid them from her. She felt as if she. had flung away tho last shred of her youth. ,fWhero are yo' goin' Kachel?" askod her mothor an hour later. " What yo' ^puttin' yo'r bonnet on fo'f Seems to mo yo' jist come in an' then go out again.'' " I'm goin' to run dowu an' tell Mr. Simmons to stop fo' mo to-morrow mornin' with his. express. I migLt's well go to Havorsham to-morrow an' do my Fall shoppin' as nox' week. When its done it's done." " Yo' didn't say anything 'bout it this mornin'." "No, I've just, made up my mind since I come from church. Tho old woman oyod her over a cup of steaming tea. " I believe somethin's the matter, Rachel." < >ui of the fog that shrouded tho dawn of tho following day rattled a curiously colored vehicle?a glare of yollow and splotchy crimson?and drow up in front of the Fuller houso. A muffled tlguro waited at tho gate. " That yo', Miss Raohol?'' ?4 Yos, I'm hero, Mr. Simmon." Ho holpod her up carefully to a seat. "Only got yo' an' tho lottors this morninJ Chilly, ain't it ?" Tho last houso on the street hud been but lately built. It's whito paint was void of ago and weather stain; its shingles fresh and yollow. It bad no garden, simply a strip of grass divided by a brick wall that ran un to tho door. Raehol had her hand hold out to tho I latch whon a step sounded behind her. A young woman with her sun bonnet pushed back off her faco and a kottlo ! In her hand stopped at tho gato. Sho {.was tall and had an abundant, of very | fair hair that curlod about her brows 'like that of u baby's : hor eyes woro I blue. " Are yo' Bill Tipsdalo's wife?" I " Yos m'm." The young woman I gazed curiously at tho blunt mlddle I aged one. " How long havo yo' eon married to him?" " Most two months. It'll bo two months to-morrow." " I heurd so, but I jist come in from Greon Meadows to-duy, an' I thought I'd ask." " I've got some folks livln' In Greon t Meadows, un' It seems like I ought to I know yo'," said Hester Tipsdale. " Won't yo' como in an' rest awhile ?" "I hope yo'll bo happy," sho said slowly. Tho gublcd houses swarm out of sight. Sho could smell the late roses in tho little gardens as sho stumbled ulong : but sho was half way down tho street before tho fonee stopped waver ing, or the rose bushes woro more than a blur of crimson. Tt was a shadowy vehicle driven by a shadowy Mr. Sim mons that rattled toward her as sho waited on tho corner. " Yo' look mortal pulo, Miss Rachel. Heurd unything whllo yo' went 'round ] doin' yo'r shoppin'?" " No : I'm tired, Mr. Simmons. I'll i feel all right whon wo'ro movin' on tho ; wind blowin', I guess." They had traveled more than half I the distance to Green Meadows and I were in tho heart of tho hill country when Mr. Simmons turnod upou his com pun ion with tho same question ho : had asked her in Huvcrsham. " Heard any bad news to-day, Miss ' Rachel ?" " No, none a'tall." " Now, don't yo' git frightoncd, Miss I Rachel, but I'm goin' to toll yo' 'bout I something that happened in Green ! Meadows this mornin'." ? " What, Mr. Simmon?" Well, then, yo'r house burned this mornin'." Sho caught his arm ? in a grasp that made him wince. '? And what's como to my poor old mother, Mr. Simmons?". "She's safe an' sound, an' not u scratch on her. Bill Tipsdale was passin' un' he rushed in an' carried the old lady out through the blaze an' took her up to his houso an' laid hor on the bed, an' went back and helped to savo tho things. lOverything'd boon burnt up if Bill hadn't been sostirrln'." Uown they plunged into a hollow ; unything that Rachel hud to say was lost in tho clutter that followod. Thoy climbed up to tho lovol again: tho mountains wore closing in about thorn. " Can't yo' go faster, Mr. Simmons ?'" A cloud of dust rose up, and wont before and behind them. Tho llttlo naked birches along tho piko looked ! silver like and ghostly through it. ; Thoy heckonod, but tho two travelers ruttled on. It wus through this cloud of dust that Rachel caught a glimpse of the bluckonod walls of hor old homo. A littlo after she stood at Bill Tips dale's door. There was a lamp burning in tho front room. That and tho logs on tho hearth Hooded it with light. The old woman, propped up in tho bed in the corner, rose on hor elbow us Haehel caino in. Her facowa) as vital as ever. " Go git Bill Tipsdale. Go git him, right now." " Mothor-" "Go git Bill Tipsdalo, I say." Bill thrust his head In from the blackness of the outer room. "Como in hero, Bill Tipsdalo." Ho lumbered forward. " ? don't lovo yo' any bettcr'n I ever did, Bill Tipsdalo, an I don't over expect to, an' I don't think yo'vo got. moro sense than yo' hud before, either; but yo' saved mo from boin' burned up this mornin,' an' 1 uin't goin' to forgit it- any moro'n I'm goin' to forgit some other things. An' if yo' want Ruchol, yo' can havo her." '' I guess Hachcl'll have to decide that, Miss Fuller; hut if she'll have me, I'll bo glad to havo hor." "But yo'r marriod to Hester Rldor," said Kachel. Bill took a step or two towurd hor. "How do yo' know I'm marriod to Hester Rider ?'' "Tho folks all say so, an' to-day, when I went to town, I wont an' asked her." Hill became radiant. Ho held up his left hand, with all its live Angers spread out as far us possiblo, and with the forefinger of hie right checked off each statemont ho made. "William R. Tipsdalo?that's mo. William C. Tipsdalo?that's a nophow of mino. Will Tipsdale thoy call him, not Hill, an' ho looks like mo, too. only {ounger. Ho's married to Hester tider. Didn't I toll yo' old Rider's daughter was goin' to got married, an' I was goin' to build a houso fo' him v" Raehol was dumb. " I guess that's why folks havo boen fooliu mo all day long." The old woman championed him from her pillows, " Yo' must havo forgot that Bill Tipsdalo's ono o' tho stickln' kind, Raohol." " No; I novor thought yo'd boliovo that o' me, Rachel." "I don't know how I could havo ho 1 loved it, either," she said. Tho afternoon of tho following day thoy walkod togethor to tho narsonago and woro marriod. Coming back through tho church yard Bill pointed toward a littlo sunkon grave on the edgoof tho winding walk. "Ho's kep' us waltln' a long time, Rachel.'' " Poor Tom ! Mother loved him better than all tho rest of us put to gether." They lot thomsolvos out into tho de sorted lane that ran on ono gidn of tho church, and strolled along like two ehildren, hand in hand. j down Ok. Pungeut smells wore In the air ; the sun was mellow. A girl in one of the buck yardu was pulling linen off a line, and as she pulled and tilled her arm* she Bam;. "1 guess yo' all think I'm the kind that Uvea from hand to mouth, without any caro fo' tomorrow; but tbore's where I'vo been just a little smarter than yo' think. I know I ain't workod hard enough to hurt myself, Kachel, but I've been savin* an' savin,' an there's a right smart sum <>' mlno in Hum Trib um batik. I thought that maybe somo day yo' an' me could have a chance, an' so I kep' on savin.' We can begin buiidin' to-morrow, Rachel." " We'll talk it over first with mother, Rill." HOl'THKIlN WAR HI8TOKY.

HI Lib A HP JMKCOL'RSKS ON MAR RIAGE. II? Talk? About tho Kxpeniie of Other People's Weddings and tho Happl nesH of tils Own. Oh, my country. I thought that when me and my wife or my wife and 1 had raised our ten children and turn ed them loose we would have a rest' and our remaining days would all be'] oalm and serene. But these grand children keep coining on and every new one that oomes has to havo a sil ver eup or a sliver spoon or something by way of remembrance. It used to be oups, but it has got dow to spoons now and I reckon will gat down to safety pins after while. My wife is a maternal ancestor and is proud of her grand-ohlldren and these little memen toes havo- got to come, money or no money. And there are the birthdays that Keep on multiplying and sue knows every ono and wants something for* them. Just a little somothing,'' she whispers, as she follows mo to the door. It is those llttlo somethings that keep me on a strain, but I'm going to keop on that lino as long as I can. Sho has been telling mo for a month that I ought to havo a new suit of clothes, especially as there was a wedding to oomo off in tho family vory soon and I would havo to oscort tho brido adown tho long drawn aislo in tho presonce of a multitude. And so I tried tho cloth ing stores in Atlanta for a suit with tho tariff olT, but I didn't find it. That kind hasont eomo yet, and so I shall brush up my old ones for the occasion. Nobody is going to look at mo nohow, for there! aro to boten beautiful brides maids and as many grooinsuion and a church full of witnesses and tho wed ding march is to be playod, and I could just drop out of it and never be missed. But I did buy my wifoasilk wedding dross and sho is as proud as sho was at swoet sixteen, whoa she stood up by mo with her Augusta clothos on. Sho did cut have but ono bridesmaid, oithor, und there wasont much fuss made ovor it. There wore no presents at all, but u few days after ?wo wont to housekeep ing soven likely darkles came tramp ing up to tho houso and sat down on tho front stops uutll I eume from tho store. My protty young wife was sit ting at the window pretending to sew. Sho had a mischievous smile on her fuco as I stopped in front of tho smil ing darkies. " What aro you all doing here ?" said I. " What havo you come after, Tip?you and Mary and all?" And Tip said : "Old mastor sont us up horo to M lss Octavy and sho tolo us to sot down hero twell you eomo. Old mastor tolo us we all b'loug to you and Miss Octavy now." Well, I never felt as helpless in my lifo. What to do with them I didn't know. I had no plantation and no negro houses and It never occurred to mo that I could hire them out. So af ter consultation mo and my wlfo or my wlfo and I sont thorn all back except Tip and Mary and bogged the old gon tloman to keop thorn until lutor. Ho on joyed the ioko and said ho only wuntcd to make a delivery of thorn, for thoy had long declared that whon Miss Octavy got married they woro " gwlno wid her." No, we didn't havo our sbr o of wod ding. My wifo cost mo just *i 1.50?$10 to old Brother Patterson, the proach or, and a dollar and a half for the license. Cheap, I toll you. A good wifo is tho cheapest thing In the world, for she has dono boon raised und clothed and schooled whon you get her. Old Jacob had to work four teen years for tho girl he loved, but ho got some of that back by cheating old man Labon in the cattlo trade. But nowadays a wedding costs as much us a funorul ?costs old folks I moan. From tho way things aro going on at my houso it looks like tho wholo fami ly aro to bo married, oven down to tho llttlo grand-daughtors. who aro to bo dressod up as cherubs and mingle with tho angols. It takes dry goods and lace amazing.

Tho houso has boon swept and gar nished?not a cobweb or a speck In it. Tho rooms in tho cabin havo been cleaned and carpeted, und for a while ono of them was assignod to me, but 1 am ruled out now and will have to hung up somowhoro or sleep on tho.buy in the barn. It is a mighty big thing, 1 toll you, for our baby girl is going to step off and leave us?going off after a young man who is no kin to her and never did anything for her but give her a ring and a book and somo French candy now and then.

Gov't Report Absolutely pure can dlo moro happily if the girte are happily married before wo go. But our time will come yet if we live four yoars longer. We will have a golden wedding?no silver in ours. Wo are for the gold standard right now in advance. Just a gold dollar from each of our friends will do, for wo aro goldolaters now in anticipation. We don't want to break nobody. Theto silver wedding presents from the gen erous donors are mighty nice and* high ly" appieclated by tho happy donees, but they give the old folks ?te?I mean tho paternal ancestors who has to foot the Dills. If an old man has a popular son or daughter who has to play brides maid or groomsman to somobody three or four times a year its as'aggravating as town taxes. I know a handsorr.o bachelor over in Rome who died insol vent, and it was making wodding pres ents that broke him. Uo wanted to marry to got out of tho business, but couldunt make up his mind, and all his set of girls marriod while ho was making up his mind and ho had to givo every one a boautiful pres ent. At last he died and not ono of those girls went to his funoral. But it is tho fashion nowadays to mako wodding presents, and it is all right if they eomo willingly and don't strain tho old man's pocket. It is a sort of tax on incomo that has to bo endured. In our young days wo dldent get presents, but wo had as lino a wed ding supper as ean bo had now, and next day we had au lufair, that was us line at the supper. Tho infair was a swell dinner at tho house of tho groom's father, and both families and all their kindred wore there. That ended tho show. There was no London or Paris or Now York or Saratoga in it, but tho young eouplo wont to work. Mo and my wlfo?that Is to say my wife and I ?did go to Tallulah falls about tho close of the honeymoon. Tho honoy moon is tho first month aftor marriage, and It closes about tho tlmo tho young man quits calling his wifo honoy. Wo went in an old-fashioned carriago that swung high and had folding steps in the casing of euch door and had a h i i> h dickey seat for tho driver and a place behind for a little nig to stand on. Old Virgil was cho carriago driver, and was proud of his vocation. Ho was then ovor fifty, and Is l.vlng yet, as gray as a rat and blind as a bat. Yes, wo wont to Tallulah whon it was a bowling wilderness. Nobody lived there but a man by tho name of Boall, who was in tho war with Moxi eo ami had named his two boys Cburu busco and Monterey and his littlo girl Buena Vista. TaUulah was then aw fully magnotlc. I reckon it is yet. I hold on to my protty young wifo des perately when sho vonturod a look ovor tho awful precipice. I read a fow years ago about a beautiful brldo los ing her consciousness right there and in a swoon sho fell over tho brink and down, down, down until sho was gone from sight and her husband becamo almost insano, and the peoplo ran down thoro In horror and dospair?and as thoy descondod by tho winding and dangorous way to find her mangled re mains, they saw her hanging in u thornbush that grow from out tho rocks, a hundred feet down. Sho was alivo, and thoy got ropes and rescued her and found that sho was saved by tho strength of a hoopskirt that sbo bought at Dougherty's store, on Peach | true strcot in Atlanta, and it cost only I $1.75, and ho had plenty moro of tho j same sort loft. That carriage rido to tho falls and from ther? to Toccoa and I back home was a delightful episode, and [ continued to call my bride honey , and sugar and darling, it beat a rail road ear where every envious fool is looking at you and pointing you out, and these newspaper gimlets lire their little squibs ut you and think it smart. The wedding, the marriage,the nup tials is tho biggest thing in a man's lifo, especially a woman's. It is bigger i than being born or dying. Wo look back and wonder at tho eagornoss with which wo took tho risk, tho peril of happiness or misory. The very word wedding means a bet, u wager, a chance. Nuptials means a veil, a cov ering, as though a man couldunt see what kind of a wifo he was getting, and conjugal moans a yoke, and tho law tells of the chains of matrimony. Nevertheless, tho young folks make I ho leap as though thoy would fall on a hod of roses and all their friends, old and young, look on with smilos and congratulations. Thoro is no weeping or wailing. That comes later, if it comes at all. But marriage Is nature, und nature is tho safest guide of all 1 would marry overy time. I would rather havo an uncongoniul wifo whoso children loved mo than no wife at all. It is tho woman who takos tho greatest risk and sho had bettor re main single than bo bound to a had man who will entail misery upon herself, and her children, too. Bill Am?. TUB RESULT in ohoruia. Kcduccri Democratic Minorities Caused by Division on Financial truest ions. Atlanta, Oct. 4.?The Constitution publishes this morning returns from all of the 137 counties in Ooorgia, made from unofficial estimates, compiled by its correspondents in c very county, and most of them received after mid night last night. The unofficial returns Indicated that tho Stato had gone Dom? ocratio by iio.ooo majority, but the offi cial county consolidations which took place at 12 o'clock today .show that this Hguro has boon reduced. The official Democratic majority will not vary muoh from 20,000, and this is tho figure which is now accepted by conservative est i mal e-, on tho Domocratic sido. Tho Populists on tho othor hand claim that tho rural counties, tho consolida tion from which will bo tho last to he hoard from, will roduoo this majority to at most 10,000. Of tho ono hundred and sovouty-llvo mombers of tho Houso olected, about sixty aro Populists, and of tho forty-four mombers of tho Son ate, thero aro seven Populists and ono Republican. Soveral of tho strongest Domocratic countios in tho Stato have boon carried by the Populists and with but few exceptions, ovory county in tho Stato shows Populist gains. The Republicans gonorally voted with tho Populists. Spoakor Crisp's district give* tho largest Democratic majority of any district in tho Stato. Ho figured con spicuously in tho campaigu, strongly advocating tariff reform and tho free coinagoof silvor. An organised movo mont ugainsta return to silvor coinago without foroign consent was started early In tho campaign, Secrotary Smith, Congressman Turner and othor's vigorously dofonding tho policy of tho administration on tho stump. Tho debute on tho silvor question grow so warm as to frequently put Democratic speakers in tho attitudo of making a joint discussion against each other on this issuo. Speakor Crisp and Secre tary Smith spoke in Atlanta togothcr a fow weoks ago. ono dofonding froo silvor and tho othor antagonizing it. Tho populists took full advantago of tho division and tho result has been a groat slump in Democratic majorities throughout the state. Rov. O. S. Sprlngfiold of Wakefiold, N.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY! A Great Mistake. a recent discovery Is that heartache, aflzzlncss, dullness, confusion of the mind, etc., are duo to derangement of tlio nerve centers which f apply the brain with nerve force} that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from tho derange ment of tho nerve centers supplying these or pins with nerro fluid or force.
