(How often d.>es the word "cousin" rover a multitude of suis.'i Still I was not prepared for so nice a person as Mis* Spinney turned out to be. She had rii]j:Iet> inii.-ed. but not of the rigid black irvrksi'ivw description 1 bad expeeted: hfrs wort of a soft gray color; instead of being angular, site was decidedly round; instead of staring me out of countenance with hard stony eyes, she beamed upon mo most effu-sitely throujrh gold riinmed spectacles

AfVr putting me thoroughly at my ease, she informed. Hi" v e r y pleasant ly that m y sister IN iuld not possdily IK* ready to leavo In-fore Monday. At this I was naturally aghast, but after a moment's consideration replied that I could put up for Sunday at the "Crown."

"The 'Crown," " said the generous spinster; "no such thing! I can give you a spare room, and you will have all you want in m y own part of the house, besides being near your sister."

Overcome by her warmth I gave in at once and accepted her offer. INO sooner had I starte»l on my way to the station to fetch my luggage than my heart misgave me—but it Tvas too late; the die was cast. Sadly I en­tered a cab, and gloomier grew my thoughts as I again approached Algebra Ixxlge.

Just as the miserable horse drew up to the gate the young ladies were returning from their afternoon's walk, two by two in the ap­proved style. I stepped out and had to en­counter the gaze of twenty pan's of eager eyes. This so unnerved me that I offered the cabman a penny instead of a florin, which he held up to the gaze of the aforesaid eyes to complete my discomfiture. I do not know how I should have staggered into the house had it not been for the assistance of my sister, having first disgusted me by a frantic and public embrace and addressing rue as "Pug!" .•sn.-h, a!as, was the nam" by which I was mal igned at h< mie—a n a m e titter for a d o g than a man' However, I did manage to get in. and on being shown to a room cooled my faiv aj. 1 feelings in a basin of water. Oh, u l . y d i d l i i im.'ukUiat room' Suffice it to say that I •.:.! i;--r, but descended carelessly to f. :».;!•• 7y meal which I shared with Miss S;...-.r.i y and my si-ter in a comfortable room hii' ••.Tii as th- library

Alti-r u-a I proposed to take m y sister for a drive, m order that f might see something of the 1 • .untry round. Leave was extended until'.'. and a little pony trap was soon at the do r. Sow I am a little vain of my driving powers, and tln-refore was not sorry to see all available windows occupied by curious faces as we g' 't in. 1 gently sh' >ok the reins, but the pony stood stock still, I smartly touched him on the ear, m response to which he play­fully ki -keil up las hmd legs and nicked his tail. Again and again I repeated the dose, bu: with no more encouraging result. At hist the knotted end of the lash caught him -L:-.rp i-n tu- nostril, and, stung with pain, he sUti;^l forward with such a jerk that I lose my hat. After a severe struggle he was hauled in, and my hat restored, but altogether I felt that the whole incident had been with­out dignity, if not positively ridiculous, and lov ; 1 -asare in the drive was utteiiv de---iv\e.l.

A« s «-ii as we got back, my sister was pa.. Led 11J svnieu here or other, while I made m y w u y t i ib'- library, where I fmindiliss "s; .:.!.• y ;.ii I three of the teachers, one , • l.iu-; 1:1" .••!• ilu-mia like, the oth'-r two y. ui.g and •!• >•• deuly preposse~smg, all rr..iU.re<l r.-und the supper table. Tlii« • :.j y-ti 1- meal over, iitss Spinney re-t.r-1 u id Lit tL • f- air of us alone. We !.-id;_-..: on ex-elL-ntly at snpper after the U.-.-r L\I1:V..udiii-ns had worn off, the duenna, »:i j,-o-u -ular. thawing in the most surprising ii.uM:ir. w . ! now t-he actually proposed a ru'.!*r. "ILe nibl*r was great fun: my part­ner h 11 pretty blue eyes, and used them in rh- li...-: 1 harming way to signal messages, whj. U kept me aiway s on the qui vivo to in­terpret and reply t". Sometimes our tele-graihj-' glances were intercepted by the dueima oi imy left: the first time I became j r.-tematuraily solemn and was instantly ab-s iri nil in my hand, but looking out of the r .ri.i. r of my eye 1 thought I noticed an an.us.si expression flit across her face, so my c ura_-e was. res tore J, and thenceforward our fjvs wen-quit*- unblushingly bold. Indeed, II resentiy proposed to initiate the party into wL-it I said was a simple household game i-ai-.-l "i>ker." Tne proposal was received witu u'S'i.nujtion.

'd have s i often read of the game in Bret IIJ.;"..'.- t a -Li:.g st-irics, and wondered what ii wu_- ij i.e." scud the duerina.

Ut I he a-si-Ted at it now. It is true wo" .ver.. r.ot playing f\r money—what then'; Blue eyesiUiew as well as 1 d^d, or perhaps a3 the reader has divined But all happiness must have an end, and at 1U:.00 the duenna, resuming suddenly her severest aspect, declared we mm*t now leave off. They bade me g'jod night one by one,

Blue Eye? last, and I will declare her hand

pressed mine, or mine hers, longest and closest of all.

So I was left alone, and after mooning r 'in 1 the room for a few minutes, was about t". follow their eSi.mpie, when my eye xvas • •aught by a shelf hi a bookcase behiud the i!'».i\ filled with yellow covers. "Ah I" th >aght f, "here are the confiscaii. .its." And so lh-y were; a. fi.-v\- French DOVIIA dotted aiii'iii^'-t a number of wild English seasa-ti .nal yellowbacks d was horrilieil to find ••Jane Eyre*' represented l y inr*-e copies; h-.n-iliiil, I mean, to find them t-on1lsi"ited) f o r m e l the 1 hoiee f(j ' lecaon. The bulk Of them seemed mere sentin^-nta! twaddlings, but tne p;.-ture < n the cover of one 1 ou.->ed my curios.ty: it represented a gentleman lying dead 011 the floor of a room with a i>ea.eeftd scowl on his face, and on either side of bitn the kneeling figure of a woman, one fair, the other dark, the fair one wringing her hands, the dai k one calmly putting a little revolver into its case. This was the one I selected to take down and read. It turned out to be an exciting bigamy, and I read on until a neighboring clock warned me that 12 had come. I rose with a feeling of relief, for I knew that the bigamy was going to result in murder, and what had gone before was har­rowing enough. Carefully I put out the lights and stepped into the passage, where I found my candle, but no mate-be*! Creep­ing back into the library, I fumbled along the mantelpiece and over the tables, but no matches] Then, with, a burglarious feeling, I stole along tho passage to the kitchen; the door creaked dis­mally on opening; I entered, and found tho fire carefully raked out, and still no matches! The thought as to how on earth I was to find my room in the dark became almost unbear­able; I remembered that it wa» an end room, but a* to wuieb of Uar maae of parages it was in, and on which aid*, vaj a a d t w an abso­lute blank.'

But what is | that' A hftn-i on tbe pillo-^-^ Y e s by «11 that's saTed. Ilje wrong room'

How I p i ! out of that room I nrver knew. A cold shudder o&mp over me when I found myself outside, mid I felt more iuclmel to re­main standing in the passage nntil daylight than to go through any such ordeal again. Bnt I got tired of standing, and calmer re­flection induced roe to try the next passage. With a renewal of tbe borredsensation I have desrnhod, 1 ventured, and to my unspeak­able relief fotirid myself in the right room at last. Hastily 1 sprang Into bed, but courted sleep in vain, for ray brain was in a whirl after the ex.-jtement of the last half hour.

In the morninp, with shattered nerves, I came down to breakfast; unfortunately not to be reassured at once. VVho could be com­fortable with twenty pairs of eyes to put one out, w hose owners thoroughly enjoy the dis-conifiture they effectr Bine Eyes did her best for me. and saved me from feeling ufcterl/ miserable. A quarter to 11 saw tho whole school defile two and two to church. I did not accompany them; the influence of the fresh air in nn orchard at the back of the bouse seemed more refreshing to my broken constitution. Tbe m'ddny dinner was almost as bad as the breakfast, the double line of eyes all down tho table were riveted on mo, and con.iequently mine on my plate—on my plate, save when they strayed to certain rosy-fingers not far 0*i. and upwards to certain blue eyes of which alone tuey did not seem afraid The afternoon brought a welcome change in my relations with the school; we ail adjourned to the orchard before men­tioned, and there, under the cool shade of an apple tree, T examined, each with its charm­ing owner, sump twenty albums. How fond they are of albums, those delightful girls t-f under 17; I asked Blue Eyes to show me an nlbnm, but she said that pupil teachars never k-pt them, which I told her was a fib. St ill, she sat down and talked instead of showing me an album, and this was really pieasanter.

On leaving such good friends next day I was, as is only natural, a little depressed; but my awful adventure of tho wrong room still haunted me, m d I i"elt> safe at any rate when the gate of Algebra Lodge closed behind our cab.

There was much pleasure as well as pain in my experience of this unknown world of girldom, short and slight though that experi­ence was; but on looking back I have to thank my stars that things were not worse, that my departure was easy and dignified in­stead of being a midnight scramble.

So ends my stray, as told to myT friends of the smoking room. 1 did not confide to them what I will now to you, my gentle reader. Two summers later my sister brought homo for the holidays one of her teachers, whom she descril>ed as being "awrfully jolly." It was Blue Eyes! One evening I told her tho whole story of my adventure that night. She laughed so much at my misfortunes that I grew angry and said she had no sympathy. Then she pouted; then I kissed her, and then * * * she promised to marry me when I got a mastership or work at the bar. This is why I am working so hard now. —Roland Graeme in Belgravia.

"Speakin' o' mules puts me in mind o* little Simon Kiloaf of Lost Crow Barren: not th't th* were anything mulish 'bout Simon, but he had one of the dotrottedest, omai iest,* pes­kiest pieces o' mule flesh as ever tried to kick the tip of a ligutnin' rod often a two story barn. Leastways them was his best p'ints w'en little Simon got to be his owner. That mule had lien in the townshipayearau' better w'eu isitiiou got title to him. an' he hadn't only ben in the township, but he had run the hull durn business of the township ever since he hung out his shingle thar. Nobody ever kuon'd wbar that mule first dropped from: but late one night in the winter 'o '40 Undo Pete Ilowy heerd a pooty stiff rap at his cabin door, an' he got up an' hollered out:

"'Who's thar? "Baugy-te-bang-bang! agin the door were

nil the answer he got Uncle Pete couldn't look out nowhar to see who were knockin' 'cause th' wu'n't nary winder in the cabin fer him to look out of. So he hollers out:

" 'Wall, if ye can't spit it out who ye be, ye kin stay out an' be durned to ye!'

""With that Uncle Pete bunked in agin. The stranger as were knockin' then giv three. or four whacks th't made Uncle Pete think th't mebby th' were an 'arthquake passing th't way, an' the nex' minute k'slam went the door wide open. The moon were dead full that night, an' ez soon ez the door flew open the cabin was lit up like a pine knot torch, an' in walked a mule not much biggem a half grow\I fawn, but with ears th't \1 ha' matched Uncle Pete's moc'sins as to size, am than moc'sins 'd ln-f to be shrinked consid'-able if ye 'spected to pull 'em over a No. 13 last. Uncle Pete and Aunt Sairey sprung bolt tip in bed an'hollered: Aunr Sairey a j-ellin' spooks an' murder, an' Uncle Pete a gittiiL rid o1 some script'ral i.'ints that 'd ha' frkeert a Delaware river lumberman often his raft an' made him swim fer Jersey. The mule didn't pay no mare 'tention to tbe folks th'u if they'd ha' been a seeon' han' set o' double harness, but he jist flopped down in front 0' the fireplace, ez much ez to obsarve th'c ez fer him, b'gosh, he were gointer sleep, an' the rest o' the fam'ly could take taeir ch'ice and holler tho rest o' the night, if they wanted.

••Wall, bimeby Uncle Pete cooled down, ez he were more'u likely to do, ez tho moon wa'n't shoothi' much heat through the open d. mi- inttr the cabin. Aunt Sairey quit hol-k-rin' an' went to taldn' it out in shiverin'.

" ' XV,y don't ye git up an' h'ist the pesky thing outr" says:he, givin' Uncle Pete a dig in the ribs.

"So the ol' man reckoned, b'gosh, th't he wa'n't goin'ter hev no mule th't he wa'n't 'quainted with a roosfin' on his h'arthstun, an' he gits up to h'lsx the cheeky little cuss outen the cabin. Aunt Sairey had put the clothes to soak that night, nex' day bein' washday, an'they, was in a tub th't stud on a bench *ioiigsWe the fireplace, an' not fur from the ski-pin' mule's heels. Uncle Pete jumps outen bed an' starts for the mule, hollerin' to him to git up an* dig ont or he'd git his consarned neck twisted. Uncle Pete said arterw'ds that the mule laid thar ez calm an' peaceful ez a new borned babe w'at hadn't shook ban's with the colic yit, but the fus' thing he know'd the mule's behind parts riz up amazin' quick, an' the next second that tub o' clothes passed outen the door an' went a slidin' up that streak o' moouh'ghtez if someone in the moon were yaukin* it up thar with a steam derrick. For a leetle spell the air outside were full o' hick'ry shirts an' overhauls an' a few caliker frocks, an' then the tub kirn down in a snow bank on t'other side the road. An' thar laid the mule on the h'arth, quite an' innercent like, an' ez onconsariied ez if the weather wa'n't ez cold ez Oreenlan', w'ich Uncle Pete wa'n't 'dzac'ly togged out fer to inj'y.

"Seein' the week's wash a sailin' 'round the cleariu' cz permisc'us ez ortum leaves sot Aunt Sairey to squealin' agin, an' th' wa'n't nothiu' fer Uncle Pete to do but to haul on his moc'sins an' things an' edge outen the cabin an' gether up tho wash. Then heedged bai-k inter the cabin an' set the tub down on t'o her side, so's to not 'sturb the slumbers o' the mule. Then him an' Aunt Sairey con­cluded th't though the mule wa'n't 'xzae'ly a feller critter, he were a stranger in them pans, an' ifd be kinder onhumanlike to turn. him out on sich a tcr'ble cold night, with no place to go to, an' so they thort they'd let him stay. Uncle Pete pushed the door shet with the mop handle, an' clunbiu' inter bed over the headboard, kivered hisself up, an' him nn' Aunt Sairey went to deep, wonderin' wutherthe mule'd take it inter his bead to let'em git up an'git breakfast in theniora-in', or w uther he wouldn't.

"Wen they woke up 'arty the neitinoniin' the mule stud lookin' inter tbe fireplace, with bis head down an' bis ears a droopiii', jist as if th' wa'n't no more life in hux, b'gosh, th'u th' were in a wet disbrag. Aunt Sairey an' Uncle Pete w'ispexed together a spell, an' then th' ol' man crawled out over the headboard an' tip­toed it over to tbe fur eend o' the cabin, an' then edged bis way 'long tbe wall to'ard* the door. If the mule heard him he never Jet on. W e n Uncle Pete got to the door he grabbed tbe latch an' flung tbe door wide open. Turn he made two jumps an'landed in bed. Pooty soon tbe mule turned his bead an' looked outen the door. Then he shook hisself a JeeUe, an' then walked kinder earless to'antj it. Stoppiu' on the sill, half in an' half out,

This was :d>. i t » year nrter the mule had rook the title to Uncle Pete, Aunt Sairey an" tbe farm, an' Uncle Pete on' the old woman had act'ally pa' kid up all their things on the sly. bVnsh, an' was waitin' for some dark night iv'en the mule were away from hum. so's they rould give him th" slip an' dig for Jersey.

"Alter tbe mule had put his veto on nlira-tion in the township, the population w th't snmptn" haii to be did. so they held a secret mi-etin' one mght. an" passed a resolution th't three or four of the best shots ill tbe jonnsliip should lay fer the mule an" try to kill him. The ntxl day artcr this resolution Wi re took, little Simon Kiloaf kim to the elearm'. Simon were scant five foot in his moc'sins, an' were 'bout ez fat cz .111 ax handle. The shadder of a fence post and Simon's shadder ye'd ha' took fer twins. But he had p'ints. Simon b'longcd to the elearm', but had gone west three or four year afore, 'spectin' to make his fortun', but, not pickin' one up, he done the nex' best thing an' larnt to lie a horse doctor. Ho got back to the clearin' jist cz tin; coiispy-racy ag'm the.mule were hatched, an' the fust thing Simon sec ez he drnw',1 nigh tn his ol' stampin' groin' were little Blue LigltUiin'— that were tbe name the mule were know'd 1 y —a kickin' in the back door at Si Morgai," ., w'ile Si an' his woman was coinin' outen the winder an' makin' fe.r the cellar. Simon pulled up all a standin'.

" 'By gum'.' says he. 'Thar's the makin' of a bully good mule,' says he.

"tsimon jninped. ofTeii his lmc-kl>oai-d ail.' walkcrl over to wliar Blue Ligbtnin' were seal terin" hemlock sjilinters outen Si Iforgan's door. I don't 'spose the mule had ever see unylhing jist like Simon afore, an'w'en he s. >f his eyes on him, b'gosh, he jist quit kickin' an' looked skeert. Simon wa'n't much higher'n the mule, an' not sech a durn sight thicker through th'n one o' Blue Lightnin's legs.

" 'Woa-a-a, boy!' says Simon, an' takin' holt 0' one o' the mule's big ears, tol' him to come on. The mule didn't seem to think he'd go fust along, but bimeby he got Simon sized up, an' makin' up his mind that he had found sumpin' that'd pan out a heap o' new fun fer him, he went along, laughin' to hisseH like all possessed, 'cortlin' to Si Morgan, who was takin' in the p'formance by peckin' outen the cellar.

'•Simon told the committee th't was to gun fer B lue Lightnin' th't he'd take the mule ofiteu the township's haa's, but ev'rybody said th't the fus'thing they know'd they'd find Simon dead, an' then the mule 'd be back outer 'em wus'n ever. Simon said no; all the muie wanted were to be broke, an' th't be in­tended to break the mule if he had to climb a tree with him an' drop him on a rock. The fust week th't Simon an' the mule were sera pin' an acquaintance with one another the mule kicked seven sets o' harness offen. aisself, knocked four wagons into splinters an'broke Simon's arm. The mule liked tho new fun better'n anything he'd struck senct he took charge o' the township, an' he lander moped an' pined w'ile Simon's arm were get-tiiv in shape to keep the ball a rollin'.

"One day, arter Simon's arm got all l ight agin, a feller kim through the clearin' buyin' up sheep. He had one o' them high wagons with a cage on it for carryin' sheep in. It were good an? heavy, an' had a slopin' dash. Simon got his eye on this sheep w-agon.

" 'Here, b'gosh,' says he, 'is the very thing to exercise that mule With.'

"Th' were a bill two miled long in tho road back thar, an' th' wa'n't a break in it the hull distance till it struck the cleariu'. i t were a steep un, too, an' arter tbe road went a hun­dred yards or so through the clearin' at the bottom o' the hill it struck inter another long hill and then follered a level fer a piece, w'en it kim to another long hill, the hull makin' a goml five miled o' stiff grade.

"TVall, Simon hired the sheep man to drive his wagon up to the top o' the two miled hill back 0' tbe clearin', take bis hoss outen tbo shafts, and then len' the wagen to him. He put a harness on Blue Lightnin', who, sniflin' a barn full 0' fun ahead, fol.'er"d little Simon ez meek ez a lamb an' ez willin' ez a dog. AV'cn they^ reached the top o! the hill an' the mule see the wagon, his eyes act'ally snapped. It -were plain enough to see th't he thort he were in fer the boss time o' the season. Simon hitched the mule to the wagon, clim up to the seat, grabbed the lines, givcthemuleaw-hack with the whip, an' away they went like a quarter racer on the humstretch. The nude started on a dead jump. They got a hundred yards or so down the hill, and then Blue Lightnin' thort it were time to open the picnic, an' ho slung his heels to'ard the sky. They struck the dashboard like a thunder clap, an' they not only struck it, but tbey went clean through it an' lapped over the side nex' to Simon six inches or more. Simon dropped the lines ez if tbey was red hot, an' grabbed the mule's bind legs jist 'bove the hoofs. On went the mule on his two fore feet. He had to go wuther he wanted to or not, for the heavy- sheep wagon kep' pushin' of him, an' he were goin'so fast he couldn't fall. Lieky tesplitdown the hill they tore, Simon a yellin' like a wild Injun, an' the wagon a bangin'an' swingin' along over tho stuns nn' thank ye mams, an' makin' more noise, b'gosu, th'n a thunder storm. They struck the level at the clearin' like a hurry«ane, air thai- the mule tried to stop an' rest, but 'twa'n't no use. They tore across that level like a -flash, Simon hangin' outer the mule's heels like grim death, an' Blue Lightnin's fore legs a playin' so fast we couldn't see 'em. Whizzy te flash down the next hill they went a bangin', an' on down all the rest o' the hills fer five miled; an' w'eu they got to the bottom o' tho last bill they was goin' so fast th'c 'fore they7 could stop they went clean to the top o" the big Washout hill th't raises almost from the foot of the five miled hill, an' is more'11 half a miled long an' steep ez a roof. On the top o' big Washout they fetched to. Simon let go o' Blue Lightnin's heels, an' ho pulled them outen the holes in the dashboard an' sot the feet on tho ground. Then he turned 'round an' give one sad an' sorrowin' look at Simon an' keeled over. When Simon fetched him to, Blue Lightnin' were a changed mule. He see, b'gosh, th't he'd met somebody with more p'ints th'n ho had. an' he know'd th't the bey-day o' life fer him were past an' gone. So he got up an' followed Simon back to the clear-in', an' went to ruowiu' corn ez if he hadn't never did nothin' else from the day he were born, an' the township w n n s t more held the t i tb to itself, an' Uncle Pete and Aunt Sairey got to feelin' ag'in th't they wa'n't trespassiii' on their own farm w'en they went out to dig a 'tater.'"—Ed Mott iu New York Sun.

Story of t w o Birds. Au English lady, residing in the country,

has a pet blackbird. Last summer the bird's cage was placed in the open window and a wild blackbird flew down to it, looking through for a minute or two at the prisoner, and then flying away. A minute afterward the visitor returned bearing a worm in it* beak. This act of friendship was repeated again and again, until the caged bird and lib mistress had to leave. The two birds hod been separated for eight months, but recently the lady returned to the country, and had not bung the cage up half an hour before the same wild blackbird was seen flying to bis old friend.—Chicago Herald.

A Common Cold Is often the beginning of serious affec­tions of the Throat, Bronchial Tubes, and Lungs. Therefore, the importance of early and effective treatment cannot be overestimated. AVer's Cherry Pectoral may always be relied upon for the speedy cure «f a Cold er Congo.

Last JanaarT I was attacked with a severe Cold, which, by negleet and fre­quent expoearee, became worse, finally nettling on toy lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains in the cheat, ftoa which I snnWf intensely. After trytof various remedies, without obtahHng relief, I commenced taking Ayer*s Cherry Pectoral, and was

Spttdily Curtd. I am ••tinted that thle remedy saved n>y life—Jan. Webster, Pawtneket, It. I .

I contracted a aerere cold, winch oud-denly developed into l^aeamonsa, pnasna* ing dangerous and obstinate ernrptonw. My phyeMun at ones ordered the use of AyerH ClMtsTT PeetoraL His tostmrtjo— wet* followed, and the reealtwai a rapid and nimaaint care.--II. & Msapton, stagers Prairie, Texas.
