Ilva to 1Her Lover.
"I seem to have belonged to you
always," she said, with a benuti
ful candor. "I seem odly to have
a right to myself through you.
Your love makes me glad to be
a myself, because if I had been any
one else, no matter how great or
good, you would not have loved
me and your love is best. No,
no; you must not speak; you
must not contradict me. Just
let me say what is in my heart. I
feel that what is there must run
into your heart like a stream into
the great sea. It is wonderful to
think that I have your love-- out
of the world! It is as though a
great star were to concentrate its
light all on some little flower and
n say, 'I will shine only for this
t. flower that I love.' It is as though
- some high one in Heaven were to
refuse to sing in the :great choir,
that his voice might be heard on
ly in dreams of some poor woman
upon earth whom he loved and
waited for. Ah, do not interrupt
me! It is so big in my heart. It
strains me. I have no one else to
speak to-indeed, no one that I
care to speak to. You are the
one-the very first-the first since
I was a little child and I gave you
my silver book. You helped to
form my life. You helped to make
me into what you now love. You
were like a song through the
silence of my life. Always your
memory was with me at the right
n moment. I never had a wrong
thought, a wrong impulse, that
your face (lid not come as clear, as
clear-it was as clear as that
white magnolia flowejthere in the
moonlight. And your eyes would
look so grieved. I longed to ask
your pardon, to'have you take my
hand and say that you forgave
me. I dreamed about 'ou some
times when I was awake, some
times when I was asleep. When
I used to fancy how it would be if
you were dead it seemed like a
tiresome voice insisting that I was
alive. I would try not to listen to
it, but it would seem to fill the
room. And then I would lie quite
still and think. 'After all, it is
you who love him, my heart.
Beat on, beat on! Oh, do not
stop! without youI could not give
him my love."-romi Mirs. Cham

Began taking Dr. King's New Dise

on my third bottle, and able to
oversee the work on my farm. It
is the finest medicine ever made."

doctors. Am now in best of

At one of the recent Moody re
vival meetings on the Pacific
i coast, the customary request was
made that those suffering from
any particularly heavy burden
should stand up and ask for the
prayers of the assembled multi
tute. After a few moments' sil
ence a tall, meek-looking man
arose, and in a voice choked with
et motion, asked that the prayers
of the congregation might be off
ered for his mother-in-law. In
stead of praying, the congregation
first began to titter, and finally
L roared with laughter.

twelve acres of land to sell. He
asked $850 per acre, and finally
found a purchaser at that figure.

the deed, and the sale was off.

Just below Natchez, and at
about teh o'clock in the foreneon,
there~ was a wild shout of "man
overboard," and the engineer at
once got the signal to stop. Those
of us iting aft saw a black man
struggling in the water a few feet
arstern, and as we rose up to throw
him a lib'preserter a second wool
ly head appeared beside him.
Some one had jumped in to rescue
him, and he did his work well.
The first one was a poor swimmer
and badly frightened, but the se
conad had a powerful stroke and
was evidently at heme in the wa

"but that fellow deserves a med

We rushed down to interview
him, and as he leaned against a

"My man, that was a brave act.

"Fighting Bob."
The man who has never had
anything to do with game chick
ens can't give a rooster credit for
what there is in him. One of the
s right blood likes a battle, and the
e right sort of trainer can teach him
ý. tactics which you would think
. only human beings could learn.
. IDown in L---thirty years ago we
t had the champion fighting cock
,, of the state, lie was picked up
in the country by a chicken buy
er, and to one knew his breed.
11 He was big and solid, and after
e he had been taught to save his
n wind and to use his spurs he
cleaned out every thing which
n was put down before him. llis
:e longest battle lasted only seven
k minutes, and the number of cocks
n he knocked out in two or three
u would fill a moving van. lie was
'r in his zeinth, and the half dozent
r. of us who owned him wore in li
e nancial clover when a tin peddler
e drove into the village one night
a and began to banter us to bell.
" He offered us $5, $10, $30 for
"Fighting Bob," but we would
not have taken $200.
"I've made a big offer for a see
C ond class bird," he said as we
s lauged at him.
"Second-class? Where is the
n one to whip him?''
e "Right in this yere wngb'n. IHI
can lick the stuffin' outer that
rooster in file minutes."
n "Bet you two to one."
h "Go a lettle slow, boys, a lettle
s slow. I've got a fightin' bird in
there, and don't you forget it, but
She's got a pccooliarty. lie won't

I would I'd bet you ten to one. It'
your bird could only fi,hit in the

f "How in the dark?"
"Wall, s'posen we put 'em in a

him, to feel his oats. We'll shet

a We were wild for a fight, and

e $100 that our "Bob" Would lick

n of putting gaffs on him we felt
. that he could take care of him'

r dler got his bird outof his wagon,
I keeping him covered with a
piece of cloth, and by and by the
I. pair were placed in a stall neal'
t the back end of the barn. All of
-us withdrew to the lantern hang

Sand we ntldged the peddler in the
ribs and expressed our sympa'

"That's all right, boys- all
t right," he replied. "Give 'em 3
minutes more and then see which
is on top."
At the end of five minutes we
carried the lantern down and open
Sed the door, Our Bob lay there,

over him was an owl almost ags'
