Your Couch
Has not yielded to the various remedies you have been taking. It
troubles you day and night, breaks
your rest and reduces yoar strength.
Now try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
before the bronchial tubes become
enlarged or the delicate tissues of
the lungs sustain fatal injury. As
an anodyne and expectorant, this
preparation has no equal. It soothes
the irritated membrane, promotes
expectoration, and induces repose.
The worst cough
Can Be Cured
by tho use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Dr.
J. O. Gordon, Carrol Co., Va., writes: "I
nse Ayer's Cherry Pectoral In my practice,
and pronounce it to be unequaled as a remedy for colds and coughs."
"After tbe grippe —eough. This wns my
experlenoe—a hacking, dry cough, with an
incessant tickling in the throat, keeping me
awake nights, and disturbing the household.
I tried a great number of 'cough-cures,' but
they gave me only temporary relief. At last
I concluded to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
and before I had used half a bottle, I had
my flrst all-night sleep. I continued to improve, and now consider myself cured." —
A. A. Sherman, Coejinaiis, N. Y.
By Using
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, many have been
saved from fatal Illness.
E. D. Estabrooks, Canterbury, K. B., says:
" In the winter of 1858 I was a surveyor ot
lumber in Sacramento, Cal. Being consul- ■
erably exposed, I took a bad cold accompanied with a terrible cough. I tried several
remedies, but tbey tailed to cure me, and lt
was thought I was going Into a decline. On
the advice of a friend, I began to use Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, and less than half a bottle
completely cured me."

MB.   WAMLE'S  STORY.
It was at the Boston and Albany railroad depot Ib this city that I flrst saw
Mr. Wandle. I was going to Worcester
that afternoon. The express starts about
9 o'clock, I believe, and as I had IS or 20
minutes to spare I went into the gentleman's waiting room snd sat down. The
gentleman in the seat next mine started
up the moment I sat down, and made a
rush for the door, castings fearful glance
aver his shoulder at me. Then the door
closed behind him.
He was a very singular looking gentleman, apparently about 40 years of age,
although at the flrst glance yon would
have taken him for a man of 60. His
hair was white as snow, while his whisk*
ers, which be wore long and straggling,
were black as Day & Martin's Hacking.
His nose was a Kouiau; hit eyes small,
dark, and restless; face pale as the palest
moonbeam that ever beamed, and his
trembling lips were blue. He was a
small man, and so thin that you could
have bored a hole through him anywhere
with a two inch gimlet.
But what was he afraid of me for? Am
I suoh a horrible looking fellow ? 1 rather
think not At least, my triends don't
seem to think so.
"No," said I, "that man has been doing -ouu>lliiug—and it's something awful.
And yet he doesn't look at if he were
capable of committing any great crime.
Perhaps, now, the poor gentleman is only
running away from hit creditors."
But 1 had no more time to waste in
conjectures, for the train was ready; and
so, taking my valise, I wentout, and was
just passing through the gate, when I
taw the thin gentleman dodge behind a
very corpulent old lady who stood a tew
paces to the right of me. But I saw his
restless, dark eyes gleaming at me over
the old lady's shoulder.
"'Well,'* said I. "it you go on thit
train, my dear sir, I'll see more of yon
before I get to Worcester." And passing
through the gate, 1 got into the cars.
Every seat .was occupied in the first
car. As I entered tbe next car by one
door, the thin gentleman entered lt
by the otber, but he didn't see me. He
advanced along the aisle, glancing to the
right and left, slid into a seat, and the
next moment I sat down beside him.
The thin gen I Ionian started up and
made an attempt to spring out of the
window, but I caught him by tbe collar
and forced him back into the seat.
"Then you do want me?" he said,
trembling as if with the ague
" Yes, 1 want you to sit down and not
attempt to dssh your brains out by throw*
ing yourself out of the car window. If
you dou't want to go "
" Oh, but I dol I dot" Th#n he put his
lips to my ear. "Y*u won't take me
back, my dear fellow, will you ?"
"Take you back! Why should I take
yon back?" And tben the thought
flashed through my brain that I was sit
ting beside an escaped lunatic, and I lie-
gan to feel quite as uncomfortable as my
companion.   "Who do you think I am?"
" You're a detective, and my wife has
put you on my track," answered the thin
gentleman in a hoarse whisper, glancing
cautiously around among l lie passengers,
as if fearful that some one would overhear him.
I laughed.
"No, my dear sir, you were nevermore
mistaken in your life. I'm plain Robin*
son Dnbson, watchmaker, Washington
street."
The thin gentleman grasped my hand-
"Egad!" cried he. "1 knew I had seen
you before; and I thought—but, by tbe
way, don't you know my wife?"
. "How should I? Why, I don't know
you, and I don't think I ever saw you before."
"Then you dou't know her—don't know
Mrs. Duncan Wandle?"
"Ko, sir."
The thin gentleman threw himself back
in his seat with a sigh of relief. Then he
moppet hit face wilh hit pockethand kerchief, and in the act hit black whiskers
fell to the floor, leaving his face almost
as smooth as a glass bottle.
"Hal" I exclaimed.
"I am Duncan Wandle, "cried the thin
gentleman, dapping hit whiskers into
the crown of his hat and dapping it on
hit head.
"And Mrt. Wandle is your wife?"
"Doubly so; and I'm running away
from her, by thunder! Tet, Mr. Dobson,
I'm running away from the aforesaid it-
male. I'm going to San Francisco, aad
if the follows me tbere I'm going to ths
Sandwich Islands, and so on, dear round
the world."
"And suppose she followi you all tht
way round?"
"Tben I'll go round again."
"And if she still fdlowt?"
"I'll keep going till I tin her oal."
For the next 15 minutes Mr. Wandle
never opened hit mouth. He closed hit
small, black eyes, and I thought he had
gone to sleep, but he startled me suddenly
by grasping my arm aad asking me if J
were fond of stories.
"Yes, Mr. Wandle."
" Well, you shall hear oae. I'll take ofl
my hat to keep my brain cool, te the
fact is, Mr. Robinson Dobson, when I gel
to thinking, and when I remember what
I waa, and then consider what I am,
why, sir, I feel aa if I should go mad.
Sometimes I think I am mad. What do
you tbink about it?"
■Why," Mid I, smiling at the odd
question of my thin friend, "whan I saw
you trying to throw yourself out of the
window I did think that your mind was
father unsound."
"Of course you did.   What else could
you think?   Why, I don't believe lam
perfectly sane, do you?"
"I can tell better after I bear your
story, periiapa.
"Well, perhaps so. I'll tell it, and
then, if yoa think I've been through witb
enough to make a man insane, why,
when we get to Worcester, yea Ju#
ehuck me into the asylum. I'll be out of
the way of my wife then, anyway.
"To begin, then, 10 yeara ago I was a
happy man. I was a bachelor of 80, and
had just come into possession of considerable property by the death of my
father As he wat my only father, aad
I wss his only ohild, of course it all fell
to me, and it wat a very pretty plum, I
assure you.
' "At that time I resided in Boston,
boarding with Mrt. Josephine Hickory-
dickery. Bhe wat a widow, and about
my own age. Sbe was a large woman,
a very large woman, Mr. Dobson, aod
I am a very small man and quite
thin, too. You notice my thinness?
Yet; everybody does
"But to return to Mrt. Hickorydickery.
Besides being very extensive In her
pioportiout. she had ted hair Now. my
dear air, you may like red bair Your
wife may have red hair, and your chtl
dren, and all your relatione, snd you
may think it is the mott beautiful color
in the world for hair, bat dye my eye
trows if 1 dol
"Aside irom her bair. Mrs Hickory
dickery was a very Hoe looking woman
tod 1 told ber to Sha didn't thank ms
for telling het. of course Her sea ia
never thankful, no matter what you do
for 'em. You may oot thiok to, Mr.
Dobson, but 1 cau I help that 1 ve s.eu
something ef women, and 1 koow 'em
just like a book.
"I'm not naturally a marrying msn
The timple lac* that I remsintd a bachelor until 1 wat 30 years of age without
ever having made lov» to a woman
proves that. And I might have remained
a bachelor until this day if It hadn't
been ior that pioperty that my father left
rae. I'm not handsome. I'm not tai
anted. I have not a single talent for any
thing As Professor buoipliesler said
when lie examined my head
"Mr Wandle.' taid he. 'you ask ms
to give you a ( hart, but you don't need
one Yours Is a very serious case,* lie
continued, 'and I feel almost inclined to
doubt the facts, but pbreoology never
lies. The truth of the matter is thit:
you re a perfect idiot' Aod the pbreoo*
logical gentleman was right, Mr Dooson
I told him so, and guve bim a dollar for
bit bone, iy
"Now witb then* (sett before you sir
-you naturally ask why suould a w.nnn
marry me? For mf nfoney of course.
They never thought of throwing
sweet glances at ate until I became a man
of wealth Then, sir wben it became
known that 1 counted my »uoue>- by
thousand*, every unmarried female at
Mrt Hickorydickenes went for mo.'

The Widow Newton was at that moment greatly perplexed and discouraged.
She was a neat, comley woman of SO, and
ahe lived alone in a cozy little old brown
house with a few acres of ground around
it. Her four married sons aud daughters
lived in houses of tbeir own nearby.
Each of them had ia tarn invited and
urged their mother to come and live with
them, but she bad persistently refused,
although sbe was a gentle, mild faced
woman of a somewhat yielding spirit.
"I want a home of my own," she
would say. "I've been mistress of a
home, such as it is, for more than 30
years, and I'd never be satisiied to have a
home somebody else it mistress of.
When her husband died, three years
before the time of our story begius, he
bad in his will lett her his entire possesions with the exception of small bequests
to each of his children, who bad felt
themselves  greatly aggrieved  thereby.
Mrs. Newton was sitting in her favorite rooking chair sewing carpot rags when
her daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Evans,
came in somewhat hurriedly, followed
by another daughter, Mrs. Butty Higgins.
"La, girls," said thdr mother in a surprised tone, "1 had no idea at seeing
either of you on Tuesday—it's your regular ironing day.   Sit down."
"I haven't got time," replied Betty
coldly. "1 just run over to find ont if
this story about you and old Peter Pillsbury ia true."
"That's just what I oome for,"said
Lucinda. "I oome by brother Henry's
home, and sister Hetty was there, and
they're waiting for me to come back and
toll them wbat you say.   Is it true, ma?"
Mrt, Newton gave a shrill little scream
and threw ap both ber hands, while her
ball of rags fell to the floor.
"Cindy Evans I" gasped Mrs. Newton,
"what aie you and your sister Betty
talkiug about ? Are ypu crazy ? Am I
goiug to marry Uncle Peter Pillsbury?
The laud of tbe living I"
She threw her green and wbite gingham apron over bar head and began to
rock to and fro, balf crying, half laughing. With ber head still oovered she
finally said sharply:
"Go bome, girls, go home, and stop
and tell Hetty and Henry and everybody
else you meet that Pm going to marry
nobody till I've been asked, and I haven't
been asked yet."
She fell to laughing hysterically, and
Betty said sharply:
"Wdl, I think it would be a burning
shame for you to marry anybody, even
if you should be asked.
"Yes, and old Peter Pillsbury, of all
men!" said Lucinda.
Hrs. Newton took her apron from her
burning face and taid firmly:
"You hush right up about Unole Peter,
Cindy Evans; he't as good and honest an
old man aa ever lived. Yoar father
thought the world of bim. Bat you can
jutt tot your mindt at rest about him;
he hain't no more idea of marrying than
I have.   The idea of it I*
The girls went homo with greater peace
of mind than they had known when coming to see their mother, since they now
felt confident that their there of tha
$3,000 their mother had in the bank wm
not to be lessened by Other claims.
THe smile on Unole Peter's tea deepened the next day ae he draw near tha
Widow Newton't bouse wbile making
hie daily rounds.
The Widow Newton heard him coming
aad blushes came to hev plump cheeke.
"I shan't let on te* I've heard anything of tha tcand'looa mess of stuff
'bout om and bim, * the said, as the sound
of the rattling cartwheels came nearer
and nearer; "I'll jutt go out and aak
how the folkt are at home and get ma a
pound of haddock aod coma right into
tbe bouse so's the tongues of the gossips
won't have nothing to wag about."
"Good morning, Callisty," Uncle Peter
said, stepping briskly into the widow's
kitchen and standing, hia old hat in hit
band, near the open door.
Ba bad known her all her life. He
had often carried her to school oa hit
handsled wben they were children, and
he had always called ber Calista, bat
somehow the blushed when be called
her Calista to day. He went on calmly
and directly:
"Calisty, you heard the yarns that's
goin' round 'ooat us?" he asked.
"I—I—yes, Petea"
She turned her burning face from him*
fingering her apron corners.
"Did it make you mad n hen you heard
'em?"
"I--1"didn't like it, Peter. "
" I suppose not—not at flrst, no how. I
I was mud as a wet lion when I first heard
'em, but. CslUty, 1 wus glad in the end;
yes, sir, I jist waa.   Air you mad now
as you was at first'"
"I—£—hardly know. They wa'n't
true no how, Petet."
"No. they Wa'n't Calisty, that's so;
there wa'n't a word of truth in 'em."
He came nearer and caught one of her
bands in his own as he said:
"list's make 'em true, Calisty. From
bein'mad ut first I've come to wisfain'
and hopio' they might be true, that me
and you was goin' to be married, that—"
A week later they drove quietly to a
neighboring town and came home man
and wife. Uncle Peter joyfully and boldly
proclaiming the fact to all whom they
chanced to meet.
They came back to tbe bride's cozy lit*
tie brown house and settled down to a
quiet and happy life, heedless of tha
(louts aud sneers of their ohildren, who,
as a matter of course, soon came to accept the situation with some degree of
good grace and to make gladly accepted
overtures of peace.
"We owe 'em a good deal anyhow,
Calisty," Undo Peter said, "for if they
hadn't raised suoh a fuss 'boat what
wasn't so, what is so wouldn't of come to
pass, and we wouldn't of thought of marrying, mebbe, at all."

Mr noticed that during his absence bis
wife had a pane of glass put in a broken
window.
"Who put that new pane iof" ha
asked in an anxious voice.
She responded tbat" Mr. Laude rbact,
tbe glazier across tbe Btreet, had put in
the new pane. The official sunk into a
obair. He turned as pale as a piece of
oui tripe, and tearing out bis hair by
tbe roots he exclaimed in an agonized.
tone of voice:
"We are a ruined family. Don't yoff
know that the glazier Lauderbactis suspected of disloyalty to the government.
He is a socialist in disguise. If tbe Emperor hears of it I shall lose my position,"
and once more the official groaned in
bis spirit like an old horse witb the colic.
His wife, however, with the quick intuition of a woman, was equal to the
emergency. Seizing her husband's cane
sbe smashed tbree window panes and
then sent for the court glazier, who was,
of course, loyal and in good standing
with tbe Emperor, to bave tbe new
panes put in. But for this happy thought
the loyalty of tbe official would have
been compromised, which is a very serious matter in that country.

the otber day. They tracked bim for

tbat he was a man, but so uncouth that
his species was for the time a mystery.
"Come down," said one of the men.
'■Don't be afraid. We won't hurt you."
"W-w-what year is this?" bellowed
tbe unfortunate, bis teeth chattering
and bis eyes distended witb fear.
'This is 1892," was the repiy.
