5nrs was a purely petticoat party that summer at Crab Falls. Now and tbona hushund turned up to spend Sunday bat to the eight of us who had no husbands these arrivals imported nothing, and lor tho rest of tlio tiiuo the composition of the hou-ehold was exclusively feminine, except lor sundry babies in knickerbockers, who did not count. Do not, however, think of us as miserable. A stray man or two would have been welcomed, but sineo they came not, we amused ourselves very well without them. Our resources were various. Some of the girls sketched ono or two painted, Oarpatliia May had a bobby for botany, and pursued it in sucli a pretty fresh-How* way that we all more or less followed hor lead. Alice Weir and Marian Herheley professed trout-fishing. They went off by themselves for wnolo days, and were real experts, brin^in^ home baskets of t'je speckled darlings which would have done credit to experienced anglers. Then thoro wa« «l»ar little Annie Tinkham, who read n!*ud in a voice like a trained brooklet, an.l WHS never weary of reading. Altogether there was no lack of occupations, and wo enjoyed ourselves very well, in spite of an occasional malcontent sigh at thought of what might have been had Fate been a little kinder. "Wo aro all nice, you know," remarked Father White, in an exasperated moment—"very nice indeed. but, after all, it's all one'taste. One dooA like something dilferent at times. It is astonishing what a very little bit of haui it takes to llavor whole mountains ol bread-and-butter." "Oh, Essie! Shockinz!" But some of us privately agreed with her.

One brilliant morning in lato August we, the Unattached Kight, agreed to lay aside all private pursuits and combine for a picnic. IIow well I remember it all—the hot climb up hill, and the delightful spice smell of tho pine woods as wo passed into their shadow It seemed different none, all coolness and fragrant, wi'.h winds making vibrant murmurs overhead, and underfoot melodious rustlings, unlike other wood rustlings: echoes, perhaps, of that secret, half revealed and half withheld, which pine woods hold, and which to impressionable people is such perpetual fascination. It was infinitely refreshing after the outside heat and g'arc, and we Hung ourselves on the cushiony needles with sighs of pleasure and relief.

What a dear place this is!" said Alice. "I am never tired of it." Why don't wo come here oftener— every day?" asked Rosa May, gushingiy-

Well, I can hardly say. There are other things to bo considered. Duties— sketching, for exaitple. There's nothing to sketch here, you know."

And trout," put in one of tho trouting girls. "Thoro's nothing to catch here, you know."

I'm not so sure of that," retorted Alice. "Piny Brook is pretty swift, and tumbles good deal, I confess but there arA pools below which might hold trout. I'm golug to take a look at them bv-and-by."

It must take a trout of a strong constitution to swim in Piny Brook," observed Carpathia. "I should think he'd be bruisod black and blue in five minutes."

So he would In the rapids but below it is not so bad. I nover heard of any there, to bo sure, but thoro may be!" "'Much hangeth on a maybe,'" quoted Sarah Stanley.

Here I lost tho thread of the conversation. The pine needles were elastic and soft as a mattress, I was weary with the walk and tho heat, tho light fanning wind lulled mo unconsciously, and I fell asleep. Certain soft touches aroused me, and a tickling in my oar. I sleepily turned and half sat un, but a hand pressed me down, and a laughing voice Maid: "Oh, lie still a little longer. We've made you into a log—such a lovely log! l)o kefp still. You'll spoil all if you move

But what is this in my ear?" "(U, nothing lnt a t«*«ul stool. There. I've moved it, and I'll lift this lichen off your eyelid, so that you can take a look at yourself. You can't think how beautiful you are."

The witches had covered me all over with a dust-stored shawl, and had covered that with sods and mowj and strips of bark to simulate a half-decayed trunk, scattering pine needles over all, and sticking into interstices, ferns, lichens, ami fungi, till, as Amy s.iid. It did look precisely like a log. lastly, they threw down a shawl in careless folds, »At a lunch-baskct on mv chest, and xtooiofT to see the effect, which they declared to be "wonderful."

No human being would ?M%hl listher "You'd impose on I^thprstockiiitr himself. h, girls, do call Alice and Marian. They must bo satisfled before this about those wrethed trout. Ion't breathe a word, but just ask them to sit down out hp log and make themselves comfortable."

On m'! Thank von." add I. speakinff as well as 1 could through a mouth

Oh, thev sba'n't really sit down. Lie still—quite'stlll, dear Doll. Don't move an inch, please don't premise that you

Alice." Very well. I won't. Bot be qui -k. I'm comfortable enough now, but all this blanket and shawl and bark may grow unpleasantly warm. I iked before just how Daphne (felt in the laurel."

Good br, Daphne. Oood-bv, Que«n liOg. We'll be back soon." With ringing laughter, off went the girls, Esther lingering to givo a final touch to the licben over my left eye. I smiled to mypelf at the odd position, but even a*

I smiled I dropped to sleep again. The day was irreaistlblv drowsy, and there was something delightful in this woodslumber, which even In de©p«*i uncon•dowmess I nover lost bold of. The

last thing I saw, my eyelid* full, wa* a broad ray of sun striking a half-open parcel of forks and spoons which lay iu the gnuw^Mra, PenUwtcr's property these, and ccuvleaM enongh of tho girls to leatu thorn ttaua. But what did it signify No spot en earth could be safer than these summer woods under the ghadoiv of the New Hampshire hills.

Tjbta vrfts my thought as I fell asleep. I was roused by a sound of voices which even my looked-nensesrocognized as unfamiliar. I opened mv eyes. Two men were fitting on the groonil close to me, bot half turned aw*y, They were thabblly dad ono In a vetveteon coat and rough corduroy trowsers tho other, whoso clothes were dark, had a red handkerchief tied round his neck. This »an had a thick beard and wild long hair veiling a pair of savage gypsy eyea. But it was the other face that frightened me most. It was a smug, shaven face, but with an evil, cruel, furtive look, which I do not know how to describe. Faint with sudden fear, I lay quite still. It seemed the only thing "to do. But, oh. where were the girls? I thought and what .would happen if they came back? "Uivo us that there basket off tho log!" were the first words I heard. It was tho volvoteen man who spoke, and the other reached out his hand and lifted the basket from its placo close to my chin. I trembled lest its removal had made me visible but tho girls had arranged too arttstically for that, and tho men seemed to suspect nothing.

It took only a mom or to empty tho basket which kind Mrs. Pendext?r had taken so much time to till.

Not a bad find," said the smug man. tumine over the cold mutton and hard eggs, and speaking with his mouth lull. "Vittle up, partner. Mayn't have another chance Lord knows'when."

Partner" accepted tho invitation cordiallv. Our luncheon disappeared down liis throat in latf:e morsels

Hallo! here is a go!" cried the smug man, making a sudden dive at the parcol of spoons and forks. llo bit ono of the spoons with his teeth, rapidly counted and dropped them into his pocket, tho other man looking on.

Heal asked ho of tho red neckcloth. No mistake. Fight of each. That's twonty apiece. Stow away fast or soino one 'if be a-eoming." 1 hadn't supposed that oven a wolf could "stow" taster, but at this warning the motion of the jaws was accelerated. As the men ate they talked. Their voices were smothered, but I caught now and then a sentence. "Dog? Darn tho dog! l^asy silence him."

Yes, but—" Then I lost the context. You're sure to the blunt?"

Saw it handed over—seventeen hundred and odd in bills. Took it home with him? Why, of course, you fool. These farmer fellows don't hang to banks. I tell you he wants it handy to lift his mortgage next week. Suro to be called for. Them Elkinses is always on time. Werry sharp gentleman, Elkinsesare." "Stash your gab," said the gypsy. 'Folks coming. OlFs tho word."

Tho men jumped to their feet, listened a second. One of them snatched up the shawl which lay ever tho supposed log, the other crammed the fragments of the feast into his pocket, and they were gone, the gypsy's foot just grazing my head as they wont. I heard the girls' voices drawing nearer, but the long tension of fear had left me 90 faint and powerless that I could not stir, not even when they came in sight and stood close to me. "My! isn't it warm?" cried Esther. "Alice, you look halt baked. Sit down ami rest. Here is a convenient old log." Sho caught sight of the empty basket which tho men had flung aside, and stopped short, with her mouth open.

Yes," said Alice, innocenLly. "I f.mcy wo are all ready for luncheon. But where is tho luncheon? And where is Dolly?"

At this moment I saw Marian making preparations to sit down on mo. Selfpreservation gave me strength to stir, to roll over. Tho bark and ferns flew in all directions. Marian shrieked but her arrangements for seating herself had gone too far to bo affected by this sud den phenomenon. Sho came down heavily, and sho and I and the shawls and the ferns, fungi and mosses, bocatne complicated into a confused and undistinguish-iblo heap.

This the pirls considered tho best joka possible. With shouts of laughter, they disentangled and picked lis wp. But at sight of my face there was exclamation

Wh3\ Queon Log, what is the matter Are you hurt You aro as pale as a sheet. You look as if yon had seen a ghost. Don't stare so, Dolly. Dospeak. What is it

I tried to speak, but, instead, burst into a fit of nervous crying. The girls, frightened and pcrplexod, thronged about me. In the midst of their rapid questions an awe struck voice was heard sayintr:

Where are tho spoons? I put them just here. I am sure I did. And here is the very napkin they were in." "Oh," I sobbed, "those men took them awav."

Men 1 What men?" ,* Then it all came out, and the circle of pale faces and wide-open eyes which attended mv somewhat incoherent explanation struck me as so funny that I went to the other oxtreme of feeling, and, before I knew it, was laughing as hard as I ha cried.

And vou lay still and never moved?" gasped faosa. "How brave! I never could have done that. I should just have given one scream, and then I should have fainted away." "That would have been truly judicious," remarked Esther,dr.vly. "But the question now is, what "hall wo do?"

Do?" wailed Kosa "why, get out of these dreadful woods a1* fast as we can, to be sure. Robbers an 1 murderers! I never heard any thing so awful. Why did we come? Oh, how horrid it is not to have any man to take care of you!"' alarm infected the boldest of us, and I regret to say our progress homeward pnrtook of'the nature of a stampede. Mrs. Pondexter, who was rolling out tea-biscuit in tho buttery, was takeu all aback by our euddeu 'appearance.

Sakes all re! I want to know This does beat all!" were her remarks during our recital.

Such a thing wasn't never

hoard of in this country before. F.l-

won't It will be such fun to cheat kins 1 That's the squire. And the man, with the seventeen hundred dollars must be voung Mr. Dennett, on the

Brush Hill Road. He's a sort of stranger, you know. Mr. Pendexfer was a saying that he'd sold out all his hay at a good price to pay off his mortga^fo." "WhereIs Mr. Peodexter?" said Bather, promptly. "Me must go over and give this Mr. Dennett warning at OIK*." "Ts, is. ts," clucked Mrs. Pendexter. "He's off in the medder lot, two miles away, and so'sall the rest. There ain't a man about the place, Mi«s Esther." "There never is," put in ItnsA.deapalringlv. "I never saw any thing like it! Oh, now horrid, horrid it mnsthein the land of the Amaaons! I can't think

It's good throo miles, but a straight road all tho way. Itlght ttrough tho woods. You can't miss It."

Through the woods 1 We all ahlvflred but Esther went on bravely: "Very well. Amanda can harness the old gray, can't she Please tell her to, and I'll drive over to Mr. Dennett's, ({iris, which of yon will go with me?"

Nobody answered. 'II "Dolly?" .M. "Yes," said, with a staking heart. "I'll go."

The girls wept and wailed, but in vain. Don't bo ailly," said Esther. "Of course somobody must go." "Well, I do admire your courage," sild Mrs. Pondexter. "and there's thia about it thore ain't ro rsal danger. They're always scared at daylight"— spea'king of the genus burglar as of a wolf. "You won't see your ineu again, Miss Dolly, I promise you. If I wasn't sure of that, I wouldn't let you go nohow."

Fortified with this, we set off, concealing our inward tremors as leht we might. The road seemed long, but at last we came to a pretty brown cotrago, with a little lawn, liower beds, and an ait- of taste and refinement now to us in that region. A handsome sunburned young man, who was cutting tho giass with a hand mowing-machine, came forward to meet us, and raised his straw hat with the unmistakable air of a gentleman.

Esther explained our errand, Mr. Dennett listening intently, never taking his eyes off her face as she spoke. "I am probably the person meant," he said. "At least -I have the sum alluded to in i*y house to pay a debt which falls due next week." He paused, and thought for a moment silently. 1 wonder you wore not afraid to driro over to this lonely placo," ho said, smiling.

We were, a little bit, perhaps," faltered I. Yet you came. How very good ol you! You must lot me drive you back."

Oh, pray don't leave your house unguarded Those nion may come, you know."

Oh, there is no danger now. Forewarned is fore-armed." He called a man, gave some orders, went into the house a moment, and we were oft. Dear me, how safe we felt all at once The dark nooks had lost ti eir terrors, and tho return drive was delightful.

Next day Mr. Dennett came to tell us that the thieves had been caught redhanded, and were safely lodged in the county jail, lie had recovered Mrs. Pendexter's silver also and altogether there was so much to hear and to discuss that nobody wondered at his coming yet another and another day, and finally every day. It was surprising how much more interesting life seemed to several of us. I was more than once reminded of Esther's simile of the ham and the bread-and-butter. Before long, however, it became evident to whom bolonged the chief share of the sandwich, and just before we all broke up in early October, Esther, rosy and flushed, stole into my room and held before my eyes a linger on which glittered a new ring set with a small diamond. "So," I said, "you really have! And do you like him very much?"

Like him! I should think so." And you don't dislike the idea ol living in the backwoods all your life?"

No, not very much. Besides, we sha'n'tstay in the woods always. Now and then we mean to run away."

And you're not afraid?" Afraid, wit« vVill to take care of me! I should finnk not. Oh, Dolly, give me another kiss! Only think, if you hadn't been a log that day, I should never have seen him. How strangely things turn out! There, that's for Dolly, and that's for Queen Log. Bless her always. How droll it was! I'ivc la in

LIVElt ANI) BLOOD DISFASE. By R. V. PIERCE, M. 1, Author (f 'The People's Common Sense MelicU Adviser"

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, winch, therefore, remains to poison the blooa, and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison? Nature triea to work on this poison through other channels and organs—the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc but these organs become over-taxed in performing this labor in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long withstand the presure, but become variously diseased.

The brain, which is the great electrical center of all vitality, is unduelv stimulated by the unhealthy blood which pa.«ses to it from the heart, and it fail.* to perform it* office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subjact, impairment of memory,dixzy, sleepy,or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat tpon the surfccc of the skin, it is so irritating and poisonous that it produces discolorcd brown spots, pimples, blotche*, and other eruption?, sores, boils,carbuncles, and scrofulous tumor». The stomach, bowels and other organs, cannot escaj»e Incoming affected, sooner or later, and we have, as the result, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea. Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad lasfe in the mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, uneteady apatite, choking aenaation in throat, bloating of stomach, pain in sides or about nhonlaers or»back, coldness of extremities, etc., etc. Only a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at onetime. The liver l»eing the great, depurating, or blood-cleansing organ of the system, set this great ''housekeener of our health/' as work, and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually expelled from the system. For thi* purpose, Dr..Pierce's Golden Medical Discover*, with rery small done* daily of Dr. Pierce's PIoM' ant Purgative Pellets, pre-emineutlr the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst of scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. \irnlent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their persevering and somewhat protracted use the moat tainted systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors, and swellings, dwindle away and disappear under tlte influence of theaegreat resolrest#.
