Blue or Crimson.

BR M. H. HCMOX.

It wan a mornentouH question, far more so than th« reader, glancing at the title of tbe Htory, imagines. The young lady standing by tUe window, in street cos tume, gxzlug at tbe blooming squares in tlie little garden below, was no nearer deciding it than nlie had been three days ago yet it must be settled that afternoon, and the hands of the clock were pointing ton minute to iive. "Blue, or crlm *oo?"—-tho words began to adjust themselves with annoying pertinacity to the monotonous ticking on the man tel—"blue or crirn-son? Yale or Harvard?" and then this further affix containing the kernel of the difficult. "Jiolfo,or Mars-ton? Kolfe or Mars-ton

bluo or crimson ribbon for Vance's parly Mho had put oft' purchasing either as long as possible, and had immense trouble to prevent being presented with both. Hut for this unfortunate party, which had given each luimiret*au excuse to request a proof of favor, she need not have decided quite yet whether to accept Koger Marston, whose dark eyes and chHrmiug manners littd turned the heads of half the girls In her "set," who was handsouio, aristocratic, and—oh, most potent word!—rich, or Walter Itolfe the "little lover" of her childhood, her playmato and teacher at once, her loval champion always, and the hero of her earliest day dreams. "Why, Lou, what in the world are you standing there for with your lingers in vciuroara? 8o you're going out?'' with a disappointed accent. ••Yes in. Why?" '•oh, I've just got a note from your aunt Maria. She's sick and nothing '11 do but I must go up there this evening. And I thought perbaps you'd make tho biscuit for supper. I can't trust Inga, .you know." Inga was the Swedish ••help," majestic, snow fair, picturesque, serene, and as yet Innocent of the least -details of cooking. "Can't you be back in half au hour?

You see, Mr. ltatchelder,"

Which should it be? The clock dropped preliminaries, and stuck to tbe telling clause with pernisteiicy so aggravating that the young lady knitted her pretty brows and finally stopped her ears. She must think—sho uiunt think. Here /were only fifteen minutes in which to balance, for perhaps the thousandth time, the morits of tw» rival and declared suitors for hor band, represented by the colors of the rival colleges. W hlch should it bo.

How it was that, though neither of these suitors had yet been accepted, each believed himself favored, and expected his supposed ladylove to wear his colors that evening, is a mystery which only an accomplished coquette could explain This particular coquette did penance for much previous flirtation during (he mnnvniA quart d'heurc at the window, trying to make up her mind whether to

Should It be blue, or crim

Of course It ought to be blue. Waltor and she had see mod to belong to each other—«1 ways. She had stanchly believed him, till lately, the cleverest, best and handsomest boy In the world. He might be—yes, »ho was afraid ho uhia—a little commonplace, but ho was as much part of her past as her brother Jeremy and seemed much apart of her future To eliminate Walter-

Hut then what girl sho knew would think of refusing Koger Marston? He belonged to one of the Ho*ton families: he had five times Kolfe's property he was handsomer too—at least tho girls thought he was he sang he painted and poor Kolfe was ant to yawn over "enthusiasms.'' Surely no one else would licMtnto between the two, and yet llet-e she was at a store door, and the docks were pointing fifteen minutes past live. She passed that door, and tho next, and the next then turned back resolutely.

What was the use of waver

You're going to ignore the claims of friendship, are you, and pur* chase some sordid trille or other?" "Do you keep sordid tritlos? I was •looking for ribbons." "Kibbon! Ah! ves, yes: now I see. Why couldn't you'have^spared mv feeling^ and gone to Mr. AUard's^ Ho would have sold you rib)on without a mug, while I— At the very thought I tee 1 quite sangoinarr."

Ho had selected, while speaking, a roll of crimson, and was dexterously looping

as he held it Itefore his customer, who surveyed it and him with astonishment not unmixed with anjeer. It has

le taken for grtUsted where a woman is concerned. Miss Jennings remarked cooly, as she turned to tbe IVrhaps some other n*Sor would make you feel Iws aangulnarv. This *traw-oo|or for instance. "Ha h*!H—still holding up the erimwn. S'ou s«\ I'm like Joey Bap* took, sly, devilish sly." "Imlwd?'' "Almost as sharp as a Harvard Senior, 1 assure volt." •You 'have an fcxwlhmt opinion of vmiw1!'." "Well I'm no Solomon, Miss l*ni--no -Solomon. But then ii d»ws«*t require the *intotn of Solomon to know that vou want a crimson fibbon. Any Yankee could tell thaU "Y«*?" "Only aw what a lovely ht»! Your color exactly. Brum should w«wr something rich and Ut it.**

Miss Jennings returned thanks for the

advice, and allowed -the giver to show ber every ribbon in tbe case. Finally she said, meditatively, "I suppose six yards will be enough." "Oh, quite, quite yes, yes." "I will take—" "And 111 guarantee the effect over white will be charming." "I will take six yards of—" "And here's a narrower width of the same shade, if you want it."- The storekeeper had let fall his handful of bright satin, and was measuring ofl deftly "Four—fiVe—six. Six yards?'—lifting tbe scissors. "Six yards—of this blue," the young lady concluded. "Eh!" Mr. Batchelder dropped the scissors and stared over his spectacles. Tbe purchaser had hard work to repress a smile at tbe discomfiture of the voluble salesman, who uttered not another word till he handed tbe change over the counter. He rallied then sufficiently to remark, Varium et mutab—"

Don't put the blame on me Mr. Batchelder. It would have taken the wisdom of Solomon to know that I wanted blue ribbon, and you're only a Yankee. No wonder you made a mistake. Good afternoon."

Miss Jennings satisfaction did not last long. No sooner was she on the street than she repented having bought the wrong color just for spite. Had she not determined on crimson? And now here was the decision reversed by a gossiping store-keeper. Now that she had the blue, it quite lost its value in her eyes. "And why not"—this bright thought entered her* mind when she was about half-way home—4,why not buy the crimson ribbon too?" With both colore ready choice could be made at the last minute.

Immensely relieved at this respite, she hastened tack to tbe village, made her sccond purchase at another store, and reached home, verv hot and tired, at exactly a quarter of six. She tossed her hat, parasols and parcels down on the hall table, and hurried into the kitchen., Appropriating one of the Swede's calico aprons.she set that serene domestic at work making up a hot fire. •Butter these pans, Inga,"she directed as she flew from closet to table, "and cut up some cake." •Yess.'' "And turn out some of that grape jam

and put ice on tbe butter.' ess." The bulk of Iuga's conversation consisted of this monosyllable.

The Swede never huri led. Her young mistress, perspiring and dishevelled, found his deliberation irritating. Her temper was presoutiy further disturbed. The door between the hall and kitchen was thrown open, and the ten-year old brother Hob entered boisterously, followed by his dog, "Ain't siippor ready? Say, Inga, get Snip something to est. "S'ess.' "No," interposed Lou. "Wait till supper time, and go right out of the kitchen."

Bob retreated to the hall, grumbling: It's time for supper now. He might have a doughnut anyway. He'll jump for It. Look here and see how he cau jump, Inga."

The complaint Swede paused to see. There was a great commotion in the hall of hi's, yaps and barks 'Thero did you ever see a dog jump like that."

Yess." Huh! I don't believe it. Once more now, Snip. See this, sir. Catch it! Sst! hi,! who o-p! Oh, my eye, if he hasn't got it!"

He had indeed and "it" was one of the packages on the ball table, for which, ordor to spur him to great exertions, ited his cani

Bob had invited his canine pet to leap. IJOU bad just shoved her paus of biscuit

into the oven, and turned in time to see

tbe dog dart through tho outer door with torn tissue-paper hanging from his mouth. Bob was in full pursuit, and his sister joined in the chase without losing a second. A long and exciting chase it was, and it Is needless to say an unsuccessful one. Snip took refuge under the piazza, and there, of course, toro his prize to pieces.

It was then that the much-tried Miss Jennings turned upon hor brother, and gave him a largo and very uuvalatable piece of her mind, ending thus, "You can go straight to town now and get another ribbon, and pay for it yourself.''

Remonstrance and tears availed nothing. Lou marched tho delinquent back to the hall, hastily examined the other package to see which color was wanted, and finding the crimsou safe, Issued hor commands again. "Oo to Mr. itatchelder's store and ask him for six yards more tlbbon like what 1 got this afternoon."

Standing at the window with the crimson ribbon still in her hand, she watched Bob's unwilling departure, and noted at the same time that threatening masses of cloud had gathered in tho west, and that the atmosphere had grown close and oppressive. Perhaps there would be a shower. If there were, it would be a good excuse to stay at home from tho party. She slowly rollod up tho crimson ribbon, which was evidently tho favorite of fate, and put it in her pocket. "Supper ready, sis?" This question was asked cheerily by her brother Jeremy, just entering tlie front door.

Supper! Good heavens! She rushed into tho kitchen. Tho fire was roaring wildly, and the Swede was seated by the window admiring, the prospect. With an ejacntavion of dismay she threw open the oven. There were the biscuits, blackened and crisped. She turned upon the phlegmatic Inga. "Didnt you know enough to shut the draughts?'# "Yess." was the placid'response. "You should never have such a fire when you are cooking anvthing "Yess. You say make "hoc. Burn so. Yews."

Oh, well, but—There! I suppose there's no use in talking, Jnst cut up some cold bread."

Jeremy, being the best-natured fellow in the world, said not a word about the loss of biscuit and the infliction of boiled tea, Lou was too much heated and too much out of temper fo eat her supper.

It was not until the meat was nearly finished that Bobappeared. He took his place at the table without

a word, and

with an injured look. "Well, did you get it?" Bob shook his head. His mouth was full of jam. /•#*7 get it? Why not?" "Twarnt my fault. Mr. Batchelder gone to supper, and the clerks didn't know what color."

Why, I told you blue." No you dId n't heither. You said like what you got this afternoon.** "I tell you I said blue," indignantly. "And after you've oaten supper you can go back and get it." "Huh!

There were ominous mutterings of thunder. Going through the process of dress ing, mechanically and hastily, my hero ine in half an hour stood before the mirror fully arrayed. Now indeed the time for decision had come. Inga would be back soon, and there woulaba plenty of time to knot up the blue ribbon should she wish to wear i.t. Or she might decide now on the crimson, lying on the bureau. Which should it be"?

How foolish! How like the tradition al donkey between two stacks of buy! She laughed, then noticed with vexation that her eyes were heavy and her cheeks as white as her dress. "This will never do," shd soliloquized.

I shall have to try the crimson to light myself up. I'll make the knots anyway."

Fate surely favored crimson. She was a long time about arranging the bows, but Igna had not returned when they were finished. So, just to see the effect, sho pinned them in place on breast and hair and belt, and then stood looking at herself with pardonable pride in herown beauty. What was she thinking, as she gazecl at her reflection with that light in her eyes and that flush on her cheek! She saw herself in fancy, Koger Marston's envied and congratulated fiance. She saw. his eager, dark triumphant face and then she turned away and put up her hands to shut out another vision, a vision that caused the flush to fade and the gaze to waver Only a pair of blue eyes that suddenly seemed to look from the mirror's depths, first in wonder, then in pain, reproach, despair, and finally—yes, finally in scorn, scorn of the girl who was about to make the most brilliant match of tho season

The gate fell together. Inga was at last coming, and tbe noise of voices told that she brought with her hor "man Gail, who usually spent his evenings in the Jonnings kitchen. Lon hastily un pinned the crimson bows and threw'them on the table. Her cheeks seemed to have borrowed the ribbon's vivid color as she answered the Swede's tap at the door and eagerly extended her hand for the little parcel the latter tended. "I'm so very much obliged, Igna "Yess." "Never mind about change. Keep it for your trouble." "Yess."

Lou opened the package. Suddenly, with an exclamation, she retreated to the gas jot to examine. what she held more closely. "Why—why this ribbon—this ribbon is—yes, it

Jeremy, remembering that his|sister had particularly desired not to be dis turbed, was very sorry, but was quite sure. He really was sorry, seeing the trouble iu the petitioner's face, althou) he had many a time wished for "comet's" discomfiture. "Will you tell her, then, for me, how much I regret hor illness, and give her these roses, which I had hoped to pre sent in person?" "Oh, these women!" Jeremy solilo quized, as he turned back into the sit ting-room with a magnificent cluster of roses in his hand. "I'd have sworn she favored Marston, and yet she sent Bbb for a blue ribbon. And now she thrown the bine ribbon away. Well it's too much of a riddle for me. Asleep, sis?" he inquired in cautious tones at h:ssister's door.

No." Feeling better?" "Not yet." "Here are some splendid Jacque roses with the 'comet's' compliments. Will you have them now? "JjTot to-night. Just get Jgna to put them in water, please." "Not encouraging," Jeremy reflected He left the roses in the kitchen, and re turned to his book. But scarcely had he read three chapters more before an other

He broke off there. Honest Jeremv was sincerely troubled. The crumpled bluo ribbon on the floor above cuuld mean nothing else than that the game was up for Walter.

made by Warner of

one un

known to our ancestors who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and .consumption by abundant and regular use of what is now known as \N arner's Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy aud Warner's Log Cabin s&rsaparilla, two old fashioned standard repiedies handed down from our ancestors, aud now exclusively put forth under the strongest guarantees of purity and efficacy by the world-famed makers of Warner safe cure. These two remedies pientifullv used as the fall and winter seasons advance, together with anl occasional use of Warner's Log Cabin rose cream, to strenghten and protect the nasal membranees, give a positive assurance of freedom, both from catarrh and those dreadful and if neglected, inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung troubles and consumption, which so generally aud fatally prevail among our people.

Comrad Eli Fisher, of Salem, Heury Co., Iowa, served four years in the late war and contracted a disease called consumption by the doctors. He had frequent hemorrhages. After using Warner's Log Cabin cough and consumption remedy, he says, under date of Jan. lfHb, 1888: "I do not bleed at the lungs any more, my cough does not bother me, and I do not have any more smothering spells." Warner's Log Cabin rose cream cured his wife of catarrh and sho is "sound and well."

Of course we do not like to have our women called noso talkers and false teeth owners, but those conditions can be readily overcome in tho manner indicated.
