iici. in'i comes across the hill
Like i"me light ghost, she Is so still.
Though her sweet cheeks sre rosy ;
And through the floating thistle-down
HIT trailing. brier-tangled gown
O'leatns like a crimson posy.
The crickets In the stubhle chime;
Lanterns Mmli out at milking time ;
The daisy's lost her ruffles ;
The warn*, the horeyed pippins try ;
A film Is over the blue ky,
A ■pel) tt.e rlyer innflua.
The golden roil fa es In tlie sun ;
The spider's gsuzy veil is spun
Athwart the drooping sedges ;
Tho r utH drop softly irom their burrs ;
Mo bird-song the ulna silence stirs,
A blight Is on the hedges.
Hut flllni with fair content Is she.
As If ao frost could ever be.
To dim her brown eyes' luster ;
And much she knows of fairy folk
I hat dance beneath the spreading oak
With tinkling inirtb ami bluster.
She listens when the dusky eyes
Stupsotily on the fallen leaves,
As If for message cheering :
And It must be tli it she can hear,
Beyond November grim and drear.
The feet ot 'Uirlstmas nearlng.

" I wonder who will have It, the
bouse, ihe forluue aud the mllliona'.re
hlmsell."
Regiua Courtland cast an envious
glance at the "Etherton house" acrosi>
the pretly little river, on whose batik
she stood, an envious glance that em-braced
the sloping lawn ; the green
terraces with their marble vases filled
v Ith geraniums ; the flower gardens,
one blaze of color p«rfume and glory,
under the mid-summer sun ; the cool
g-een of the miniature park, with its
wititli'iK walks and ancient trees; then
the hnuae Itselt -that grand and state-ly
mausiou ol white marble and free-stone,
ho full of art treasures collected
in many lands, so beautiful and desir-able
a home over wnlcb to rule.
" I will win him if he can be won !"
she thought.setting her red lips firmly
together. "Agnes Is ready to help me
in every way and this raid-summer
ball of hers may do wonders for me.
Nothing can be more becoming than
the toilet she has devised, if Claudius
Etherton is not reminded of It by the
Parisiau ball rooms be has just left, I
shall be surprised."
The proud beauty turned away and
began to pace the lawn at Itiverview.
Ii was Luta small place compared with
Etherlou Hous-, yet she thougl t her
portionless sister very fortunate, when
five yesrs previously her handsome
face had won for her the heart and
hand rfFrank Merriam, the wealthy
stock broker of Pine street.
"I beg s'our pardon, madam," said n
deep voice close beside her, ' have I
the honor of addressing Mrs. Mer-rlam
?" Buch a tall, dark, fiercely-bearded
stranger, shabbily dressed,
yet with the bearlug of a gentleman.
"I am Mies Courtland, sir," she
sal j with dignity.
He bowed profoundly, struck Into a
side-path shaded with evergreens and
vanished before she could remember
that he was probably a tramp, and
that he had no business on the
grounds.
And he has gone by the side path to
Mr. Merrlam's study ; I bad better go
and tell Agnes. Just then a loud out-cry
broke from that direction. She
distinguished Mt. Merrlam's voice In
accents of surprise and exultation and
presently the voice of her sister put-ting
on its richest tone. She turn-ed
toward the Imu-e full of ourlosity.
Mrs. Merriam met her in the hall, her
Spanish face slightly faded, and just
touched here and there with a tiny
furrow that told of lato hours and
fashionable dissipation was disfigured
now by a most decided frown.
"Such an unmitigated nuisance,'
she exclaimed in no geutle tone.
"That reckless John Etherton, who
gambled aud ttran . away that fine es-tate
on the other side of the river, has
turned up all of a sudden from Aus-tralia
and my husband in ecstasies of
delight has actually asked him here an
a permanent guest. It is bad enough
to have AMce Merriam here for the
holidays, but a visitor li'.ie this , shab-bily
dres ed, dlsrespcctable and pen-niless.
I know from what be just
now said to Fraim. Aud every room
is needed for tuls midsummer ball.
Isu't It too provoking for anything,
but Fraud insists that he shall be re-ceived
with perfect reaped- and •'
"Hush," said Regie quickly. The
host aud his guest were coming from
the library a u-t were near the ladies
as she spoke. How much or how lit-tle
he heard there was a deep flush on
his face, but he walked proudly by.
merely lifting bis hat to the ladles. It
was true Ethertou House aud the e-tale
had been his own once, though
through a wild youth aud stormy
mauhuod lie bad thrown It away
piece-meal aud at twenty-five be bad
left hit i.atlve laud—a beggar. Now-after
ten years wandering he was back
hiiII penniless and just in 'line, as the
people said, to see his cousiu Claadius
take possession of the home that for
live generations had been in the fam-ily
name. Well might they wonder
that he could bear to return, and he
was not surprised to ttud that they
jg'ior tl his presence In the drawing-room
be'ore dinner. After oue glance
that snowed them that he had merely
removed the dust of traveling from
bis a'-abby clothes, that he had worn
on 1,1a urrival, he dare not ofter his
arm to Mrs. Merriam or the soornlul
Mi>* C lurt'aud wbeu dinner was an-nounced,
llui bis friend niolioued
him toward a titni-i, delicate lookiug
girl, with violet eyes and golden hair,
who entered the room just then. She
laid one SIHHII hand upon his arm;
ahe was breathing fast as if she had
been hurried, and during dinner from
a quesilon addre-sed to her by Merri-am
he discovered that she was a mu-sic
teacher, and had been detained
beyond her u-mal hour at the house of
a recently acqulied pupil.
"I beg you will not be late again,"
■aid Mrs. Merriam croasly. "You
have nearly missed dinner to-day "
The girl made uoanswer ; but John
Etherton saiv a tear fall presently
down her cheek. Then came the
move from the table, and as be opeu-ed
the door for the scornful hostess
and her sister, he glanced at the little
music teacher aud the blue eyes that
met the glance were mill dimmed
with grief.
"Who Is that charming creature,
Frank ?" he asked as they sat with
his friend over their wine.
"You remember Angus Merriam,
my father's cousin and partner," said
the broker, "he Bp»culated In a silver
mine and made mil ions, and this
girl—hison'y cbnd— was brought up
as an heiress until she was fifteen,
tiieu tbem'ne failed aud bis millions
vanished In a days warning. He was
a ruined m»u sure. I think the shock
turned his brains for be took polsen
aud and left his child all alone in the
world. I ottered her a borne here,
but the woman—my boy the woman.
Poor Alice was uubaopy aud by her
wish she became a music teacher in
the city. She comes to us for the
holidays and just gives a f«w lessons
in the neighborhood while she stays.
Mrs. Merriam and her sister dislike
ber, I am sorry to say. She is a dear,
brave little tbiug, and pretty, as you
can see for yourself. If you bad only
come home with a fortune what a
wife she would have made you ap-parently.
John Etherton was of the same
mind, and poor as be was be ventured
to try his fortune with the little music
teacher, after two weeks of constant
and friendly intercourse which went
on unnoticed by Mrs. Merrian or her
sister, they being engrossed, heart and
soul, in the preparatiou for the grand
midsummer ball, now close at hand.
Alice listened very kindly to the ap-peal
the adventurer made to her. He
owned that his life had been a reck-less
one, but if she would only share it
in the future, ha promised that it
should grow nobler and purer day by
day:
From the first moment of their meet-ing
Alice bad felt a strange Interest in
the shabby stranger with his grave
face and dark bright eyes, little by
little she bad learned to love him and
one week before the ball she bad prom-ised
that as soon as he could earn a
home for her she would oome to it, bis
willing, happy wife.
On the next evening, what seemed
like a miracle to the music teacher, a
box from the "emporium" of a famous
city milliner and dress maker was
brought to Blverview by the express-iran.
It was directed to Miss Alice-
Merriam and on bting opened was
found to contain the lovllest dress im-maginable,
white silk laoe over white
silk, the sleeves and skirt looped with
forget-me-Lots and a wrenth for be
hair, white gloves, satin slippers, bou-qui
t holder of torquolse and pearl com-pleted
the girlish toilet.
Alice huug over the box in rapture,
who couid have sent It? she orled
Hgaln and again. Miss C'uriland
looked at ber and at the drew with an
evil frown on her face.
She must not appear at your ball In
that toilet she said to ber sister an
hour later, IfClaudius Etberten should
see her make yourself easy my
dear, I will not let ber come between
you and your chance of winning him.
Consequently on the evening of the
ball, John Etberton(who, by the way,
had evidently purchased a new even-ing
suit for the occasion, In wbloh, be
locked very dignified aud handsome.
John Ethertou found his betrothed
in the garden-parlor, where she had
promised to meet him for the dance
sitting on the sofa by the French win-dow
, crying as If her heart would
break, "how Is this?" he asked, sitting
down beside her, "when you look like
a fairy queen, why are you spoiling
those forget-me-not eyes by crying?"
sbecluugto him for consolation, as
she bad already learned to do. "Mrs.
Merriam and ber sister are dressed so
beautifully to receive their guests, but
she says I must not come In as I can-not
dance with you, and she looked at
this dress of mine and said that it was
redlculous for anyone like me, she
said I was trying to make myself look
like a bride, all but the orange flow-ers,
and that I should not euter her
ball room to-night.
A mischievous smile gleamed in bis
black eyes, "stay here until I come
back." He hurried to the study and
found Frank Merriam fortlfvlng him-self
against the impending invasion
by a glass of wine and a cigar, he said
a few w«rds to him, the broker sprang
to bis feet with a cry of delight,
"John, dear old fellow—oh, bow glad
I am, not that I did not like you as
well before I knew, but " "don't
stop to talk, but come with me and
persuade Alice to do what I wish, and
then go with me to your own clerg- -
man and give the bride away," said
his friend urgently, wi'b all my heart
Jobu, and to think I never remember-ed
that middle name of yours. I've
never used It since I was a boy ; and
niv cousin kept the secret for now do
ail you can with Atir -."
Half on hour afterwards the cur-rlage
drove from the door to where
the rectory stood where the pastor of
Burieigh church resided, within an
hour il.e carriage returned, Mr. Mer-rlau>
sprang out first, John E'berto;,
followed, handing out the prelty
bride with the greatest of oare. Mr
Merriam Ved the way to the nail room,
the servant at tbe door stared at the
whispered announcement bis master
made, but too well trained to neglect
duty he called souoiousiy "Mr. John
Claudius Etherton and wife! pale to
the lipa Regie Courtland turned to
the door, Mrs. Men lam came fo-ward
to meet tbe guest of the evening, try-ing
vainly to cover ber sister's dis-comfiture

T^KE-SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
For all Diseases of the
Lircr, Kidneys, Stomach and Spleen.
This purely vegetable pre-
Firaiion. now so celebrated si a
amily Medicine, originated in
the South in 18*8. It acts
rently on the Bowels and
"iieys and corrects the
action of (he Liver, and is, there*
VMllM \
fore, the best preparatory
medicine, whatever the tiefc-nest
may prove to be. In all
common diseases it will, un-assisted
by any other medi-cine,
effect a speedy cure.
The Regulator is safe to administer in any
oondition of the system, and under no circum-stances
can It do harm. It will invigorate
like a glass of wine, but U no intoxicating bever-age
to lead to intemperance; will promote dl
gestlon, dlHBlpa*te Ihse—u■d aclie, I gener-ally
tone up the ay stem. The dose is small,
not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted.
No loss of time, no Inter-ruption
or ntoppage of
Dullness while taking the
Regulator.
Children complaining of
Colic, Headache, or Sick
Stomach, a tcaspoonful or
more will give relief.
If taken occasionally by pa-tlents
exposed to MALARIA,
will expel the poison and protect
them from attack.
A PHY8ICIAV8 OPINION.
I have been practicing medicine for twenty years,
and have never been able to put up a vegetable
compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu-lator,
promptly and effectively move the Liver to
Action, and at the same time aid (instead of weak-ening)
the digestive and assimilative powers of the
system. L. M. HIKTON, M. D.,Washington, Ark.
