A Wonderful Stery of an Old Lady.

ST. JOSEPH, MICH., May 9,1894.

Lyon Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind.: I wish to congratulate you in being in possession of such a grand medicine as LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS. I was in very poor health for along time, could eat no solid food, and scarcely anything else had no appetite, but a continued distress in my stomach, and was very poor in flesh. Your remedy being recommended by one who had tried them, I got a box of same, and can cheerfully and gladly say, after using them, the distress in my stomach entirely ceased, my appetite increased wonderfully, and I gained in flesh very perceptibly. I am a lady seventy-four years of age, and can say that LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS have given me anew lease on life. I feel grateful toward you and your remedy. It does more than you claim for it, and no words of praise can do it justice.

Gratefully yours, MRS. CYNTHIA RANSOM.

At the ladies' entrance—a recent addition to the Colonnade which could not be regarded as a triumph of privacy— Mr. Denny uiet aitai, and silently offered his arm to Miss Conrath as if he had oome for that purpose alone. He had spent the evening in a semidetached state of attendance on his wife, varied I by brief distractions of his own. Mrs.

Denny gave him a quick, hard glance, when he first presented himself, perhaps to ascertain the nature of these distractions from their effects, but without altering hev vivacity of manner.

CHAPTER V.

As Hilgard stepped into the street his brown mare Peggy swung around from the hitching post and whinnied to him impatiently He patted her neck and rubbed her soft nose to console her for her disappointment, and then crossing the street ran up a dark flight of stairs to Godfrey's lodging.

He found the doctor asleep in his armchair before an airtight stove that showed a red glow at its draft. The ashes of his coiu pipe wrere scattered over the ample bosom of his dressing gown, and a book had slipped to the beside him. "Eh, what?" he exclaimed querulously, arousing himself and feeling for a black silk cap that had dropped from the bald spot on the top erf his reclining head. "Is that you, George? How did you get in?" "I saw a light under your door and beard you snoring, so I came in. The door was unlocked." "I snoring! Nonsense! I never unclose my lips when I sleep. What you heard was the roaring of the draft. Open that door it's very warm In here."

Godfrey leaned forward and closed the draft, then stretched himself back in his chair again with a more benignant expression. "Come, sit down, boy. Aren't your long legs tired enough yet but you must go prowling about the room like that? You'll give me a crick in my neck trying to see you over my shoulder."

Hilgard sat down on a low chair whioli brought his chin very close to his He rested his crossed arms on

them and his chin on his arms, fixing his black brown eyes on a crack in the stove through which he could catch the subsiding gleam of the fire "I hope you will sleep as well after your dance as I did. after my supper," Godfrey remarked. His tone carried with it a certain perception of some mood in his young oompanion which might oaH for less careless handling tfmn characterized their usual intercourse. "It strikes me it's time you were in search of a bed somewliera Did you oome here to share mine?" "No, doctor. The fact is, you did me a tremendous favor tonight." "I rather suspected as much," the doctor assented, with a melancholy smile. He did not look at Hilgard, but kept his eyes on the stove. "George, I hope my pride in you isn't going to have afalL" "I hope not, doctor," said Hilgard indifferently, "but you had better put your pride in a safer place." "I've gloried in your tough heartedness where woman is concerned more than I have in my own philosophy— eh?" added the doctor in reply to some inarticulate comment from Hilgard. "With about as much season perhaps," G#orge repeated. "Don't be flippant, bqy. It's a pity you can't take a lesson in the old man's philosophy that you make light of at your own expense. Learn to inhale the delicate bouquet and leave the wine alone, as I did at Archer's tonight"

The doctor performed a fastidious gesture of lifting a fragile glass to his superior sense, closing his eyes in an ecsta-

annreciation.

"By tKfe way, he went on as Hilgard watched him, a hot impatience struggling with his usual enjoyment of the 0I4 boy's admonitions, "Wilkinson thinks he knows a good wina Perhaps he does, but if he does then I don't! There isn't a wine in the place I"

He appeared to have lost the thread of his anxieties regarding the perilous state of Hilgard's emotions, but he presently returned to it, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes, as having no one in view. \, "All girls are piretty much alike when you get 90 or 80 years away from them.

Under the old boy's commonplace mannerisms of and the whimsical ploy 01 his feS-i- *vgrowing a libtie heavy in their mobility, there was an aooeafc o? g""ju:re trmdoraess. Hilgard, the boy of his recent fancy, understood him better than many of his oldest

It was said of the doctor that he was lazy, unambitious and given to levity. A perviwlinri cieediiiens hud crept over his outward man. Tl» of long isolation from gcaMu (A..iL.mauicatioJX3 had corrupted his good manners, and tho thief of discouragement had stolen his pride. Fe .-onsorted witli the halt and the maimed in l-eputation. He did not always avoid the dark colored sheep el tho hu was never known to be tho c.o.aipanion of its birds Of )hVJ.

Hil^iird was the only one of his acquain^aijco I 'Tha^ for whom ho bad any affection, who was not broken winged or weighted with some disability of character or fortuna His remnant of self respect showed itself in his avoidance of the prc.v^^uo and flagrantly happy. He neither attempted to discount their successes nor to share them, but for Hilgard, on the threshold of the fight, in his unstained armor and onquenched ar dor of life, he felt all the yearning of a woman, with the doubts and fears of a disappointed num. This feeling expressed itself chiefly in gibes and grimaces of speech, which passed current between them much more easily than sentiments would have dona "Your friend, Mrs. Denny," Hilgard began after a silence, "in that delicate, arch little way of hers, intimated that Conrath had been drinking when he came in tonight. Is it a habit with him, do you know?" "No hardly a habit as yet—a predilection, perhaps. It's a bad climate for predilections of that kind." "Do you suppose he—his sister has ever seen him in that way?"

Heaven forbid! No to do COH justice, he LOOTS Jiimrc'f cat of the way when hi* little predilection has got the upper hand of him. He has 'important busin«cw down town.' Wouaen haVo a great respeot for that I've known Con's affairs to be so absorbing as to keep him secluded for 34 hours at a time—trouble with the smelters and what not "Miserable, brutal business!" Hilgard exclaimed, rising to his feet with a gesture expressive of tho general futility of things. "Why is it that men who don't know how to take care of a horse always have some woman at their mercy?" "Yes, indeed, my boy, when chivalrous hearts like yours and mine haven't so much as a rag of a favor to stick in our caps." "What infernal selfishness to bring a girl like that out here anyhow!" Hilgard went on without noticing the reckless inconsistency of the doctor's present attitude with regard to feminine favors. "Well, you and I should be the last to complain of that The influence of a nice girl in a place like this, provided, mind you," said the doctor, endeavoring to recover himself, "that no attempt is made to sequestrate the same"— "And look at the friends he pidks out for her!" Hilgard interrupted passionately. "A rowdy little woman with a miscellaneous list of acquaintances''— "Steady, my boy. If you mean Mrs. Denny, I'm one of Mrs. Denny's acquaintances myself. I knew her at Central before she was married. She was a bright faced little thing just out of school. Family came from Tennessee— broken up by the war. Just fancy a girl beginning the study of human nature in a mining camp and her own nature in the bargain. She began with Denny. Are you listening to me, George? I suppose the only way for a womap really to know a man is for her to marry him. If that's true, in the oourse of an average life, with, the greatest perseverance, she oouldn't' get very far in toe noblest study of mankind, could she? Well, Mrs. Denny knows Denny pvettyr thoroughly, I suspeot, by this time, aod I dare say she's been surprised at a good many things she's found out in feenelf. Found herself doing and saying and thinking a good manv things she never would have believed herself of when she was a young girL She's a weak little vessel—tho Lord knows what she was fashioned for, but it wasn't for Denny, that I'll take my oath ta The Lord never fashioned any woman for men like Denny. She used to be very musical in a chirrupy kind of way, but she doesn't sing any more— says she hasn't any instrument If there's any music in that household, she's the instrument, and Denny's the player. It's a wonder she isn't more out of tuna It makes a ghastly kind of music in a family when both have ceased to love and one knows how to tortura "Doctor," said Hilgard, "I wish you wouldn't!" "Well, I won't, but yon mustn't either I Let her alone, poor little devil I She isn't the kind that rebels and sets mp her own individuality. I don't sappose she ever had much to set upi.

Hilgard turned red "Hang it all!" lie said. "It's that little fool of a woman you are trying to make me sorry for. It began coming over the rai.gu Vv ma-ue me ti ip from iTeirplay together, Conrath and Mrs. D. and myself and a lot more, shut up in that musty coach." "You and Con made Mrs. Denny's acquaintance eh? Well, that was an an lucky conjunction. "Oh, lie knew her before, and I didn't want to know her"— "Ah," said the doctor, "I see! Well, it's a pity. Mrs. Denny is a little fool, but not an inch of smything more. "I don't care what tshe is, if she will only keep out of my way." "You mustn take up too much room with that way of yours, my boy. It's a 6iuaii world. A fellow with as broad shoulders as you've got can't go squaring them through it We've got to turn out for the blind, and the lame, and the vicious. For own sake, you'd better turn out for Conrath. He won't bear crowding. Give him plenty of room. I needn*t tell you. you'd better let his lady friend* alon& "I should think uot, if you mean Mrs. Denny," Hilgard said fiercely. "Conrath's 1&&J friends axe not like]/ to be mine." "WoAl» hie lady relatives, then. The sister is very nice and very pretty, but she belongs to the Shoshone crowd. You'll find it enough to be mixed up with them in business without any sentimental complication."

Hilgard rose to his feet and straightened himself while he buttoned his overcoat, looking down at Godfrey with an expression of intonse annoyance. "Are you speaking of Miss Conrath?" "Surely. Has Conrath more than one sister in the camp?" "When you allude to a young lady as belonging to a 'crowd' it is lucky for you, old boy, that it's not my sister you are talking about" "I wish she were your sister. I'm going up to the Shoshone tomorrow,'' Gdcl frqy added presently. "I want to look at that girl again. I can easily have some business with Conrath. Besides I •we her an apology in person for tho waltz last night." "You'd much better keep away. You'll go up there with a bee in your bonnet and make yourself ridiculous. She has forgotten which of us she waltzed with by this time.''

Hilgard had got as far as the door, but stopped {ind began walking up and down the shadowy part of the room while he expostulated with the doctor. "If you'll promise to keep away, I will," the latter called to him from tho depths of hfe chair. "You are much safer and in better company with a ridiculous old fellow with a bee in his bonnet than with any of that crowd. I lay it again, whoever it offends!" "Doctor, you are as bad as a dime novel. I could Lmgh if you didn't make me so mad at tho wild absurdity and the cheek of you.'' "Well, 'some will laugh while others weep,' said Godfrey, rubbing the black silk cap about sleepily on the top of his head. "Have you any idea howlate it is? The respectable part of the camp has been in bed these two hours."

Hilgard took no notice of this hint "Conrath can't be all rascal," he said after a silenca 'There must be a decent side to him if one could only get at it. How is that doctor? Do you know?" "I don't think he is a many sided youth,'' Godfrey answered. I've seen only two sides of him—Conrath when he has been drinking and Conrath when he hasn't I haven't found either very attractive. He has never done anything yet. but. I'm afraid when he cuts his

wisdom teStn ne'll cut tnem in iniquity." Hilgard continued his perambulations in silenca A smoldering stick fell in the stove, and the flames started up again with a dull roar. "Con,'' said the doctor—''no, George, don't you get too fraternally anxious about Conrath's sister." The doctor's thoughts were evidently wandering. "Mrs. Denny's—little discrepancies— quite on the surface. Even—guileless observer like myself can perceive them.'' The words came lingeringly, with somnolent pauses. "I'm sorry—Con isn't better—boy—for her sake—Cecil's sake —and yours."

The black silk cap fell off as the wearer's head, sagging from side to side, dropped back against his chair. His hand, with the pipeful of cold ashes, sank lower and lower and rested on its broad arm. Hilgard picked up the cap and pressed it quietly on the defenseless crown, Which, as the doctor said, had "got above timber line." "G' bless you, George. Go to bed, foolish boy," the sleeper murmured.

He almost groaned as he studied her and saw how more than pretty, how adorable, she was!

She sat somewhat listlessly engaged with amass of soft white knitting shehad unfolded from a silk handkerchief whieh she spread across her lap, while the doctor discussed the chances of the railroad getting through to the camp before winter, and indulged in the usual revilings of the olimate. "Did you ever have the asthma. Miss Conrath?'' he asked,pursuing this theme with variations. "I don't remember that I ever did," Cecil laughed. She was able as yet to regard illneas connected with herself as a kind of joLe.

Cecil looked up at her visitor in great surprise. She thought he might possibly be approaching the subject of a hospital or free reading room, or course of lectures for young men, with a view to asking for contributions, but he did not look like an agent for a benevolent enterprise. She was at a loss to understand the turn he had given to the conversation. iff jt j?- I [TO BE CONTINUED.]
