"Sally Ann'i letter her come at last," said the postmiatresa as he looked over the thin pud ga brought by the mail carrier to the mountain farmhouse which answered ai pot office. "She'll be the peerteat gal in the cove airinst she irlU It." aaid old Aunt l'olly, laughing. "Attcr wailin' nigh onto three year fer It, I reck in the will. Let'e see hit' marked Cincinnati. I wished could see what'a on the iimlde of It "Hud Hunt's been mouty furgitful of her, hit 'jwars like to me," unld Aunt l'olly. "nein' arholnr enough to real an' write, hit seem like he would. her wrote her 'fore now, Jiiit to let her know what he win about.' "Waal, I think," aaid the postmia tress, "she's been ez wishful young cat, cornin' round every mail day an' askln' ef thar warn't no leV- ters far her folks. Hhe hain t lieen in now fer inore'n two wetks, "Waal, I say; she must be tuk sick or somethin'." "She's lieen a-lookln' powerful puny ever since corn win laid by. . She must a worked too hard; ye know she's about to run Into kinsump- tion." "She used to look big and chuffy enough 'fore Hud went out'n the set tlement." "Yaas, an' aHer he went, too, fer the fust year. They sny ez how he giv her his promise he'd write Jist es soon he could gH a good job then they'd git married." "Hhe 'lowed hit wouldn't take slch an oncommon likely feller ez him ntore'n a week to git a wcll-payln Job." "Her pappy died with that kin- sumption list soon alter she wuz Intruded," said the postmistress, re- flectlvely; "an' whenever he died they said ez bow aoma'n his people'd hev It, loo." "I)o ye mind," broke In Aunt Tolly, "how Rally Ann tuk on at the time of Mr pnppy's buryln'? They wuz inakin' the uorflu before our house, an' she come In an' axed me ef they wu goin' to put her pappy In that old lios. That Jist what she called It, 'old box,' an' p'inted over whar they wuz workln'. I tola her that they alius put dead corpses into boxes, c they called coffins, an' then put a led on 'am 'fore tliay put 'a in In the ground an kirered em up 'Klver up my pappy?' says she; 'they's afeared to kivvr him up; he'll git up an' shoot a hole through 'em f they leeh him.' "Hhe knowed what buryln' meant , hy the time iter five slsUrs wuz tuk to the buryln' ground." "I reokln sha did. Waal, I must lie glttln' home. "Can't ye stay all night T' "No; I'll hr to be a-goln'. You-iuu come up and see us; don't for git. A group of men were gathered at the small store In the lower end of the cove Just in the evening shadows were beginning to tliicken In the mountains. Home were seated on the rude platform In front, while others mounted on horseback had reined up to near the news of the day; for the country store nnd the post nfflce take the placo of a newspaper in the mountain districts. "They tell me," said old Rotilre liar low, as he threw a huge quid of to Imceo on the floor, "they tell me that Kally Ann Larkin got that letter from Hud Hunt to-diiy, an' that she growed nign onto su Inch since It coma.' "Whar Is Ilud now?" said an angu lar young farmer. "Hud, he's aome'rs almut Rlngcln ruitl, I reekln; that's what l'olly said, on' sha wui at the nfflre when ths tel ler eoiue. lie's run onto a plumb goon ion mar with some kind of a railroad ronsaru, an' he's a-glttin' 40 a month." "Ileate stalk braedlii' all holler, don't it, glttin' Into one of tin in Ug towns?" "Yes, or makiii' enra an' wheat. too." " Taln't everyone kin git such a Job In the city," said the squire; "when I wuz thar about war time they 'lowed ez thar warn't nary place like the moiintnius fer fete Harlow." "Want, hit 'livers to ma." said the storekeeper, "Dial ef ye an' Hud Hunt could both git joU thar, that nine" all the rest of us could." This raised the laugh on the squire, who responded by cpeetorallng In a keg of horseshoes that stood alone end of the porch. Just then a pale young fellow, whose white skin was sharp contrast to his curly black hair, hailed the group, and was Just alKiut to ride H.t when the squire, in order to retrain his standing as leader, called out: "Can't ye pull up an" be frlcn'ly fer a mimile, Jm? Ye needn't think Sally Ann wants to see ye now, Hain't ye beared about ner leuer; "Yes, I dl.l," said the young man, quietly, as he rode up; "I didn't 'low slieM care murh to see me." "I should piles nut," responded the squire, ipnic happy again, and restored I .. his former position by the laughter of the loafers, "t shoukl gin,. n,,t; ,v'Vi ihry ,ny vt she kissed it ,, iM,t, ,,,.,. fr. ll(, iqiened it, sn' wVn she .li, rend it ner eyes jut Unshed ,K,- the tur iii tlinr in the sl,v."

Thar's no ues in ye bein' blowed on Sally Ann any longer; her mi' bud il leave the cove, an' ye'll never see nury bit more of neither of cm. "That letter said, f.r IVIy Ann let Pol'.y read It, that Hud hat! hi ari d that Sally Ann wiiz twin' pt.i.red by sev eral other fellers, but ili.il he Hiin't scared about thrin a-r ttrUn' In r; he knowed that v.hni l.r c.. ire to ft-lch her away, that woiiiii li. t l.r cmd of their sparkln', when .he r.ui!

"You lie!" said the pale-skliinrd young man, si he mounted hi horse. "I hi-v that letter in my pucki t riohl now a takin' it to her; hit hoin't never been opened yil; jrr woman's never Isid ryes on It, sn' all that rot which ye've been Inikin' Is lies, an' ye know H.

(jond ev, niii', square, 1 reckon ye'll be -t,l!in' the rest of what yer woman read, but I hain't got time to listen." With this purling shot the young man rode off at a trot. Icuving the little gciup to rtcaivt the squire'a further Information they chime. Jim Knr ner was Indeed In love with Sally Ann, and the constancy which shr hud shown in her feelings for her old lover had been a source of much bitterness to him. "Hit seems like she mout a' tuk up with me alter he went awny from the cove. Kf he didn't think the mountnlna wuz good enough fer him, why doea he come along an' Inke olT one of our gals? She'll rite ef she lit v to leave, an' he hrd ort to know it; she can't stand bein' awuy from this set tlement." Now Jim could see the light of her mother's cabin far up on the mountain, ud he turned into the trail which would soon lead him to the sitle of Sally Ami. His heart beat fnater an he approached the dwelling. This would bv, perhaps, his last visit. Afterwards he planned to go into the far went, any- here, he thought, to escape the mem ory of his hlighleu hopia. The door was open, snd after stop ping a inomtnt to spenk to the dug, who had rvuognir.ed him, he croised the narrow porch. Ills steps were ar rented, however, us he saw the Whluw I.nrkln bending over I hi- bed, fiinuiug na.!y Ann, whose face seemed very pule to hun, as he stood there in the shadow watching. The widow looked up, and, smiling faintly, ca me oiitnlilt, shutting the door after her. "She s asleep. " "What's the matter, Mnrtlin? I hedn't beared that she wuz sick abed She hain't lieen on her feet fer these two weeki. Ye rieolleet she wuz rlgli puny when ye wuz hyar the last time, rwo or three days slier that she tuk to her bed, an' she ain't eat skiixcly anything since. Hit a the klimunp lion, i se arearrti; no then ton Mir i that crazy over Ilud that hit niHkrn it all the wusisr. At times I think tlmt hia fergittlu' her has lining It on mmiii rr. She kep' ripecliii' him to write an until she tuk to her bad, she ueier tailed a goin' down fer that letl hich never come. 1'har, she's woke up, an I raekin she II be glad to see ye, on'y she's that weak alie ean't Inlk long at a stretch, litre a Jim, Sally Ann come up fer to see howye'r fnriu'." Oh, I'm s-gittiu' peetly weak, Jim; I reckon we won't fuss at each other much longer. Ye've aliuz treated me fair an' iqunr', Jim, an' I'm 'bleeged to ys fer that; ye've never lied to me, an' praps that s nmre than 1 kin sny fer some of my friends."

Here's a letter that 1 'lowed come from him." A cry of Joy wm the only rrr-ponitr and he aaw that the newa Inn! tumle her fnlnt away.

A smile of ntlfnctinii lighted up her thin wan fare, and the w alchrrs could ate that the death augtl hoven d over her head, that her frnil boils rouid soon lie tenantless. Slowly she extended her arm to Jim nd handed him the letter. "Mammy s no scholar, Jim; c rend fer me? Ye'r my friend, ain't e. Jim?" WUh trembling lips he began to read, w hile ahe strained every nerve to Ita u tm. tension, listening eagerly, her eyes fairly glowing with expec tancy: "lcar Sally Ann, I loie- " He got no further. Those words were like a breath from heaven. 11. r fliiahed, then grew deathly lisle. nd with the word "Hud" upon her lips he died, fully convinced of his fniih f utiieis. While the poor widow went n. r the ody of her daughter. Jim drew out the etler whlrh Sally had lntriiie,1 t, him, and by the flickering fliclicM iinunci uie sentence that he had he gun to the dying girl. A he read ii hi, face grew livid with emotion, and he crumpled the letter In hia ban,!

Tnln In the back Is one of flic com monest of the iils iilliietinp humanity, and at tin same time it is often one of the most tliihetilt to relieve ami the most pu'linp to trace to its ori;rin. It is n symptom of many acute dis enses, such as spinal meniitpitis, smullpnx, innlaria. iiitlueti.n. and so forth, but In such cases it is of short duration nntl its cause is usually evi dent. av Youth's ('iimpaiiion. The backache of pull-stouv, rennl colic, or simple sliimacli-nehe Is nlso an acute affair, mid disappears rapid ly when the pnll-slone or kidney stone is passed, or the tlatiilenee re lieved It is different, however, with the chronic form, which so often defies all the skill ami inpenuity of the physician, nnd exhausts the patience of the sufferer with Its persistence snd wearying, burin, wrcnchiiip pain. The eonditlons which mny produce this chronic backache nre so numer ous that a mere nitaloirue of them would fill the space allotted to this article, and we can refer only to the most freipient of them. Hie pain may lie due to disease ill Ihe spine itself, in the spinal curd, in tlie back muscles, or in the iilitlomiiuil cavity I'ott's disease of the sliine (hunchback) and cancer of the veite- brne are the most usual affections of Ihe spine causine hnckncha Any affectum of the spinal cord mny find its expression in tmcltn -he. but the one most commonly ri-p.-nsi-ble is perhaps locomotor ataxia When of muscular unpin, pain in ihe Lack Is known an luml.apo, a disease which is pi rally rcpanlctl as a rheumatic affection of the hark muscles. The discovery of the source of the pain in these local nffeetions of the bone, muscle or nervous tisane is usually not difficult, but the problem is more intricate when the pain is merely n rellex of .some int.-nnl dis- rtler. Often the physician i:iut In terropate each internal orpan in turn before he enn locate the stnrtinir- point of his patient a sulT.-rinp. his is the field in which the (inack renps his preatest harvest, his nd Icrtlsf mcl.tft dllatlloi Ulloll the terrl. le diseases of tlie kidneys or other rpans to whieh a backache surelv points, nnd whieh can be rellev.d only by Ills infallible relnetly too oflel!. alas! ciuitaininp opium or some other clisln.-inp drop. These ad.cil.se nietits are, (if course, t'ross exa:rpera tioiis. and the condition is seldom so serious ns the (pinck would hnve his victim believe, yet it ia ulwnys well for the sufferer from n persistent backache to consult a physician. fWffll CMKA HiotiiKjU-:, The matron lonVs sadly at the portrait -of herself. ta!;on some twenty odd years ifti wlicn she had iust Btt t-iu-d from maiil- enliood to wifehood. Thy. years slip back as she grazes. It, seems but yesterday when she was crooning to iicr first little one. What great changes came to her 'w ith marriage anil maternity. Hat they were happy changes, whieh brought her tin growing love, of husband and children. Now she U facing another change, which lx-cmsc of its radical charac ter is named tin: chango of life. She feels depressed, unhappy. She recalls stories she has heard of women who at this time become mentally morbid, as well as physically miserable. Her oivn feelings seem to forecast such an experience for herself, and her very anxiety serves to aggravate her condition. The turn of life is a troublesome time for almost all women. In some cases the disposition is seriously affected or the mind unbalanced. In others this period is marked childly by physical suff ring, great nervousness and inetital irritation.' In almost all ease.s the uso of Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Prescription is essential for womanly health and comfort. At this n riod even if the physical suffering is not great, it is too great, however small, to be borne uiiueccs.-ai ily, when the use of Dr. I'ierce's Favorite Prescription would give phy.-.ical health and mental cheerfulness. In extreme c.isi-s of jdivsic.il Buffering or mental di.s ml. r, the great worth of titis medi-' cine is amply jirovcn J. S.
