ROOMS TO RENT.
BY K. TKMPI.K MORE.
M Rooma to rent!" road Miss Pamela
Wild*.
Bhe had paused before the neatest,
aud trimmest, and cozleet of little tub-urban
houses. It was Just two stories
high ; It waa painted snowy white ;
it had bright green shutters; it boast-ed
a veranda and a huge, old shad;
porch. Moreover, there was a garden
—a delicious, diminutive patch of bud-ding
blooms.
" It's the very Identical place for
me!" the decided, enthusiastically,
standing like a small gray statue of
approval In the Bweet spring sunshine.
"That la, if the rent isn't too high.
Bat I'm very much afraid it Is."
Nerving herself to equlbly endure
disappointment, she pushed open the
gate and went up the path.
Hiss Pamela was called an old maid.
She had Just climbed the hedge of thir-ty
; if she was, she was the very nicest
old maid that ever existed. Hue had
a plump little figure, a pair of blue,
aunshlny eyes, rosy lips, soft brown
hair, and cheeks as pink as peaches.
How inviting everything looked, to
be sure I The windows were open, aud
some birds banging directly within,
In their shining cages were sbrieklug
in shrill exultation ; a placid, prosper-ous-
looking cat reposed upon the door-till
; the treading of those stainless
steps, with dirty feet seemed desecra-tion.
Miss Wilde rang the bell; a servant
appeared In hurried response.
" My stars she exclaimed, gleefully,
and fell to surveying the lady before
her, in an eostacy of frank admiration.
" You have rooms to rent?" queried
Miss Wilde slightly disconcerted.
The girl apparently considered an
Immediate answer superfluous. Bbe
could not have been a bad natured girl
for her face was constantly deluged in
grins of the most dassllng description ;
but she waa decidedly a peculiar girl.
"No," the declared, slowly, after
ahe had taken a minute, mental mem-oranda
of the stranger's s'mple but
stylish costume—" no, I hain't got no
rooms to rent, but my missus, she
hat."
"May I see your mistress?" demand-ed
Pamela, with some Impatience.
"No," blinking obliquely at her vis-itor's
bonnet, " yer can't!"
"Why?"
" 'Cos the ain't to home just now.
Did ye make yerself?" with an up-ward
motion of a grimy forefinger.
" Yes. Now will you let me see the
rooms that are to rent"
" 'Course—come In! Would ye mind
welkin' upstairs afore me? I want to
eee how ye've got yer polynaoe bun g-
I never kin git mine to hang eggsack-ly
sol"
Miss Pamela laughed and mounted
to the floor above. The rooms were
delightful. There was a parlor and a
bedroom, both furnisned simply bnt
tastefully.
There were soft-hued carpets, and
ourtina of delicate-tinted cretonne;
there were wloker-ohalrs, all tied with
bright ribbon; there was a walnut
desk, a toilet-table smothered in pink
tlleala and dotted musllo, and • great,
tall lamp with a globe of rosy trans-parency.
"What Is the rent?" asked Mist
Wilde, nervouslessly.
" I—I don't remember," replied the
girl, smiling harder than ever. "You
tee, I'm absent-minded—I'm awful
absent-minded. I'm that ahsent-mlnd-
*d, missus got me cheaper on account
of it. Let me see, though. Ifauyene
—called—about the rooms—I was to
say to 'em—" She broke off abruptly,
and looked up at Miss Wilde, grinning
quite ferociously. " What was I to
say to 'em ?" she demanded serenely.
"I'm sure If you don't know, I
don't!" said Miss Wilde, helplessly.
" Oh, yet!" exclaimed the girl, with
a sudden gleam of recollection ; " the
dror—It's in the dror I"
She ran to the desk, pnlled open a
drawer, and took therefrom a sheet of
paper, which she brought back in
triumph. It was a statement of the
terms, written by the landlady, also
the stipulations—good references and
no children.
Miss Wilde's brow cleared. The
terms were low—decidedly low.
" I'll take 'em,' 'she declared prompt-ly-
"Missus left that there paper for
me to show folkses," explained the
girl. "I'm that absent-minded, ye
know."
" You'll not forget to tell her I've
engaged them?" said Pamela severely.
" I must take possession the day after
to-morrow. Give me a pencil and 1
will leave a note for your mistress,
whijh you can give her when she re-turns.
Will you ?"
"There," when she bad written out
bar acceptance of the terms named and
her uuceptlonable reference*—"there"
Now don't forget to give It to her."
" My stars, no," nodding and smil-ing,
confidently. " Say, is slob long
gloveaes the fashion, now?"
Sbe atood aud stared after Miss
Wilde, as that lady walked briskly
down the path.
" Now, If I could only get my dress
to look like ber'n. What'* this pap-er?
Oh, yes—I'm to give It to missus
and I'll just put it safe away for fear
o' losln' It."
And sbe stowed It carefully away In
the slimmest aud narrowest, aad most
inaccessible drawer in the walnut
desk, and forthwith forgot all about
lb
Half an hour later her mtalress re-turned.
" Any one been here, Sattinna?"
" No," with a cheerful grin—" not a
soul."
" Now, Susanna, you know how ab-sent-
minded you are. Try and remem-ber."
" Lemma aee!" ruminated Susanna,
looking thoughtfully. " No — honor
bright," with a more cheerful grin
than before—" not a solitary soul!"
" Well," said Mrs. Tobey, taking off
her bonnet, " run over to the meat
market, and get a pound and a half of
porter-bouse steak aud two beads of
lettuce. Make haste."
Susanna's flapping sun-bonnet had
barely vanished round the corner,when
there came a resolute ring at tbe bell.
Mrs. Tobey opened the door. A tall
gentleman clad In a light summer suit
and straw hat stood on the threshold ■
He was a rather elderly gentleman,
but he had none of tbe mildness com-mon
to age. He impressed M rs. To-bey
as being rather tierce, whether be-cause
of his acqulllne nose or gold- rim-med
eye glasses, or his military mous-touche,
she could not have told.
" You have rooms to rent, madam ?"
he lifted bis bat politely.
" Yea sir," said Mrs. Tobey, losing
her awe immediately wben he spoke,
" May I be allowed to see them ?"
" Certainly, sir. This way."
" They'll do. With board of course.
Terms?—quite reasonable. I advance?
—precisely. References? —my card,
madam."
" Henri Von Bergon," read Mrs.
Tooey, from the piece of card board
presented. " Not the great artist?"
Mr. Von Bergon smiled.
" An artist," he replied. Tbeadject-ive
Is due to madam's kindness."
" Oh, dear me!" said madam all of
a flutter, " are you sure tbe rooms are
nice enough?"
" There it good light. There Is se-olusinn.
They are admirable. I shall
take posession the day after to-mor-row.
Good morning."
And exit Mr. Von Bergon.
Mrs. Tobey went down stairs and
took oil the pasteboard sign.
"Thank goodness, that'a settled !"
she declared fervently.
Thursday came—the brlghest, balm-iest,
sunshiniest of mornings. The
house had been scoured and scrubbed,
and polished to a marvelous degree of
cleanliness. Tbe windows glistened
like silver, the bell-handle waa a knob
of gold, the paints were positively
speckles*, the very flowers in the trim
Dutch garden beds looked as though
they had had their rosy facet ntwly
waahad.
About ten o'clock an express wagon
stopped at tbe gate.
"Mr. Von Bergon's things," explain,
ed the man, and forthwith began de-positing
them on tbe garden path-trunks,
easels, boxes of books, easy-chairs,
models, palut-boxea and can-vases—
all of which Mrs. Tobey and
Susanna were surveying reverently,
when a second express drew up in the
spot just vacated by the first.
"New lodger's traps,'- he announc-ed
gruffly.
"Lordalive,Susanna!" gasped Mrs.
Tobey, " If be Isn't married!"
"Where's tbe barm In that same,
ma'am ?" grlnued Susanna.
" I am sure I understood him to be a
single man. Though not that he ever
said at much," the ended, conscien-tiously.
" These tilings dot't look at If they
belonged to a man, sure!" aald Susan-na.
Am' tbey didn't. They ware all on
tbe garden path,now, jumbled in with
tbe .first load, and tbe express bad
driven away—• trunk, a wicker-work
basket, a roll of music, a bundle of
novels, a package of crewels aud gay
silks for " crazy work," and a bonnet-box.
"Here comes the gentleman," said
Mra Tobey.es Mr. Von Bergon alight-ed
from a fly at the gale.
"And here comes the lady !" groaned
Susanna, with a fearful awakening of
her torpid memory. " Oh,land's sakss,
how absent-minded 1 be I"
And sure enough, at this very mo-ment
Miss Wilde came walking up the
garden path, almost side by side with
Mr. Von Bergon.
" Good-morning!'' sbe suid,smiling.
" Mrs. Tobey I presume. I'm your
new tenant."
Sbe looked quite youthful and pretty
this morning in her gown of soft,p*arl-colore
I lawn, with the tun bat to
match, all trimmed with pink ribbona.
" You're welcome," said Mrs. Tobey.
"Mr. Von Bergon did not say be waa
married—"
•'What! what's this!" roared Mr.
Vou Bergon. " Married, ma'am 7*
Who says I'm married, ma'am?"
" Isn't— Isn't this lady your wife?'
faltered Mra. Tobey.
"No!" shrieked Miss Wilde.
" No!" thundered tbe artist.
" I am the new tenant," declared
Miss Wilde. " Is It possible your ser-vant
did uot give you tbe note I left
for you, tb* day before yeslnrday, en-gaging
the rooms.
"No," gasped tbe landlady, faintly,
"She's that abseut-mlu'led, Susanna
Is."
A.ud Mrs. Tobey fled in cowardly
fashion.
" Let 'em fight It out ?" she said, lo
the intervals of shaking the breath out
of Susanna.
Left alone.t he new tenants surveyed
each other in antagonistic sileuce.
" Well, I guess I'd belter be moving
my tbiugs Into tbe house," announced
Miss Wilde, resolutely.
" I guess not," retorted Mr. Von
Bergon, wrathfully. " The rooms are
mine."
" I am sure I rented them flrst," de-clared
Miss Wilde, winking very bard
to keep back the tears of disappoint-ment
slowly rising. " I am very sure
I did Mr.—Mr.-"
" Von Bergon," stiffly.
" Not—but now that I look at you I
do believe It's—Henri Von Bergon I
Why, I've got your photograph In my

Down she went on her knees before
her trunk, very much flushed and ex-cited.
" Why, Miss— Miss—" he stammer.
ed.
"Wilde," she said. "Pamela Wilde."
"Not Andrew Wilde's daughter?"
"Yes," she avowed " Look, here's
your picture ! Papa always told me It
was that of his dearest friend."
"And, bless my soul, If I haven't
got yours somewhere about me ! Walt
till I open this satcbel. There! your
father sent It to me several years ago,
Vou don't look a day older."
"Oh, my!" blushing; "but I am.
Papa Is dead, you know, and I am
teaching school for a living. This
being vacation, I camt out here—"
"And I tried to turn you out!"
roared Von Bergon. " Stars and
stripe.-! Andrew s daughter!"
" And I was rude to papa's old
friend," said Pamela, remorsefully.
" I'll go right back to the city."
"You'll do no tuch thing. I'll go
back. I'm a brute. I ougbt to be
ashamed of myself.
" Oh, don't say that," remonstrated
Pamela.
" See here," suggested the artist,
coming up and taking both of Miss
Wilde's gray-g!oved bands In his,
" suppose we both stay."
" What!" gasped Pamela.
" The carriage is over there on the
road yet. Let us drive back to the
city and get married. I'm in love
with you already. Say yes."
"Ob, I couldn't," said Pamela.
"Why not?"
" I hardly know you at all,"
" But your father knew me."
" That's so, said Pamela, brighten-ing.
"Come, then."
And tbey went.
Mrs. Tobey and Susanna moved In
tba accumulation on tbe garden path ;
and if those rooms weren't cozy and
delightful, never rooms weie before.
One day, Mrs. Von Bergon, rummag-ing
In the desk, found the note she
bad written to her landlady. Sbe
held It up for Inspection .
" There't proof. I engaged the
rooma first—I waa right "
Her husband paused with brush
held suspended above her rosy face
upon his canvaa.
" You always are my love!" be ad-mitted,
in meek adoration.
And Mrs. Von Bergen went straight
way down stairs, and hung Susanna's
polonaise " eggsackly so."
" Susanna," she said solemnly to
that grinniug and astonished damsel,
" alwayi be abtcnt-inindrd .' It there
is anything laudable, anything con-ducive

FATE.
[Buffalo, If. Y Mmm)
that la terrible. Such waa the experi-ence
of Mr. Curt in In former days;
and It Is not surprising that he found
himself suffering from a mysterious
physical trouble. In relating his ex-periences
to a representative of this
paper, he said:
" At times when I was on duty I
would feel an unaccountable weariness
and lack of energy. My appetite waa
also uncertain and my bead seemed
dull and heavy. I did not fully under-stand
these troubles, but supposed at
most people suppose, that I was suffer-ing
from malaria. I tried to throw off
the feeling, hut it would not go. I
thought I might over come it, but
found I was mistaken, and I finally
became so badly off that It was Impos-sible
to. attend to my duties. I have
known any number of men In tbe fire
departments of this country whe have
been afflicted as I was, and I dou.t
not there are to-day hundreds similar-ly
troubled, who, like myself, did not
know the cause, or really whtt ailed
them."
" Your present ap|>earaoce, Mr. Cur-tin,
does not Indicate much physical
debility," said the interviewer as he
looked at the 220 pounds of bone and
muscle standing nearly five feeteleven
Inches In height before him.
" (), no; that Is altogether a thing
of tbe past, and I am happy to say that
for more than a year I have enjoyed
almost perfect health, although I now
realize that I was on the road to certain
death by Brigbt's disease of the kidneys
and traveled at a very rapid pace."
" How did you come to recover so
completely?"
" Tbat Is just what I want to tell
you, for I believe It may be of great
service to many others In my profes-sion,
who may possibly hear of it. I
began tbe use of a popular remedy at
the earnest solicitation of a number of
friends ID this city, and I found to my
great gratification that I began feeling
better. This feeling continued and I
gained in strength and vigor until now
I am perfectly well—wholly through
tbe instrumentality of Warner's Safe
Cure which 1 believe to be tbe best
medicine for policemen, firemen, rail-road
men or any other class of people
exposed to danger or a change o'
weather, ever discovered. Since my
recovery I have recommended It every-where,
and never knew a case where
it failed either to cure or benefit. I
would not be without It under any
consideration, and I am positive it Is a
wonderful, valuable, and at the same
time entirely harmless remedy. In-deed,
I see that Dr. Gunn, dean of the
United States Medical College, of New
York,endorses it in the highest terms."
"So you experience little difficulty
In the execution of your duties now,
Mr. Curtin, do you?"
" None whatever. Our department
was never lu better condition than at
present."
" And you never have any fear of
some of tbe desperadoes whom you
have been the means of hrlnging.to Jus-tice?"
" Not In the least. Such men do not
try to retaliate, partially because tbey
have not tbe courage, but oflener be-cause
tbey respect an officer who does
his duty."
Policemen, firemen, letter carriers
and other public employes in thislcouu-try
have a particular trying life. When
therefore, a simple and sure remedy
that can restore and sustain the health
of all such men Is found. It should be
cause forgreat oongratulation.especial-ly
when recommended by sucb a man
as Superintendent Thomaa Curtin of
Buffalo.
Many wonder why the brute creation exce1
manelnd as a rule when It conies to a ques-tion
of health. Investigation quickly aacer
tains tbe cause. It is because the brute na-turely
obeys every law of health, while man-kind
Is constantly degenerating owinir to
excesses of our ancestors and our own Indi-vidual
Imprudence. Sudden exposure toex-tremo
climatic influences,gluttony.improper
food, alcohollo stlii. ulants, over exertion of
mind and body, worrlment, anxiety, care,
etc., all have a 'marked effout on the human
system. Be cured by using Brown's Iron
Bitters, A leumrkabfe remedy for restoring
health.
On* morning several yean ago, Just
as the dull gray light was beginning
to show itself lu the east, a small baud
of men might have been aeen deploy-ed
about a house on Ferry street In
Buffalo. There was nothing rpeclal
either In the diess or appearance of
the men to Indicate their Intention,
but it was plain tbat they bad busi-ness
of importance on hand. Sudden-ly
a man appeared at one of tbe win-dows,
took lu the situation at a glance
and, swinging himself outward with
wonderful quickness, scaled tbe roof
of the house. This man was Tom
Ballard, tbe notorious counterfeiter;
and, armed to the teeth and fully real-zing
bis situation, he defied justice
and tbe officials below him. Some of
tbe officers, knowing tbe desperate
character of tbe man, proposed to
shoot him until be was killed, but
one of the number promptly protested,
and declared that if his brother officers
would assist him to ascend he would
capture the man alive. Accordingly
be began the difficult and dangerous
task, and succeeded lu bringing his
prisoner to the grouud in safely.
The man who accomplished this
task was Mr. Ttionia- Curiin, tbe pres-ent
superintendent of city police of
Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Curliu Is a man
who Is knowu by every pr mim-iii
detective aud policeman lu America,
and he stands pre-eminently in tbe
front rank of his profession. Quiet
aud gentlemanly In manner and ap.
pearanoe, he possesses a courage, com-bined
with in irked physical power*
that makes him the tenor of evil-do-ers
aud the pride of law-ahidini; citi-zens.
Few people can realise, how-ever,
the trials, exposures, and even
priva'lons, to which members of every
municipal police and Are department
are exposed. Compelled to be on du-ty
at unoertaiu hours, subjected to the
most Inclement weather, and often
necessitated bv the nature of their du.
ties to protracted undertakings, they

These are the First Days of the
Fall Business,
already the hum of activity begins.
We launch the busy season with
Some
Special Things
that prove to be strangely low. A few of
these have been in store some days, but, to
give everybody a fair chance, we held the
announcements until the return of people
from their holidays.
A good lot of first-rate
Jerseys at $2.jj>. These
are all black. The colors
are 12.50.
A Black Dress Silk at
75 cents, that until recent-ly
was always $1,00.
A fine Black Rhadama,
22 inches wide, at (1.50.
Half-wool Black Dress
Goods at 12J cents, which
is just half-price.
All-wool stylish. Plaid
Suiting, 42 inches, at 50
cents. We sold the same
at $1.00.
Another in stripes at 65
cents. Not dear at $ 1.00.
A quality of Lupin's
Cashmere for 50 cents
(all wool). The new tar-iff
will prevent this qual-ity
from ever again selling
at this price.
A Black Albatross at 25
cents, exactly half-price.
A fine Black Camel's
Hair, 46 inches wide, at
60 cents.
A good 36-inch all-wool
Cashmere at 40 cents.
An excellent Black
Cashmere, all-wool, a
yard wide, at 45c.
A very few much ad-mired
Embroidered
Robes at one-third off of
usual price.
A Bleached Muslin, full
yard wide, for 10c. The
best we ever had at that
price.
The best Twilled, All-
Wool Red Flannel we
ever sold for 2 5c.
The best Canton Flan-nel
for I2jc. We never
could get so good a qual-ity
at the price before.
An extraordinary lot of
Towels at 2jc.
Eight lots of Ladies'
and Children's Hose that
are on our counters at 25
per cent, under prices.
These lots of Shoes that are amazingly
desirable for the prices:

China and Glassware we hardly dare to
risk saying anything about, as the lots an-nounced
are nearly always sold out in a few
hours of the day they are presented. Watch
the city daily papers for the announcements,
and if these lots are sold when you come do
not be disappointed, as we have new lots in
every day or two.
In Furniture. Young couples should see
The new Ash Suite of Bed Room Furniture for $25.
The same goods in Cherry for $28.
Our Works at present turn us out only
four suites per day of these goods, so that
first come, first served. Nothing like this
has ever been done in Philadelphia before.
A fine frame Body Brussels Carpet at
$1.25 that we are willing to endorse as a good
thing.
We are not permitted to give the
makers' names. The goods are new this
season, and fifty patterns at least to choose
from.
The first Fall Offering of Ladies' Kobe
are all-wool, of ample material, in nine varieties, dark, rich
hues, and the new patterns are on the palm-leaf order. The
effect is much the same, if not a full equivalent, as though an
expensive Cashmere Shawl were dissected and made into a
robe, as is often done. The expense being infinitely less—$25.
Also a few Wrapper Patterns, Persian, and with a de-cided
Oriental effect. The olive, old gold and rich, dark
hues are subdued in a broad border of consistent but curious
formation, 10 to 11 yards each. $2.00 per yard.
There are other lots equally interesting,
and new things daily arriving.
Samples of Dress Goods sent by mail;
a "Postal" will receive immediate attention.
