"Uetiio may I I I, or I" but ho took a hcaltr over I'ashlulness "again would you-io-oc-er." This timo Het.lrt camo to his icrcuo with a sweet "Yos Harry, doir, er er I've been trying to say yes all Hi s timo and I mean it too, e r you do," r.d lo this day Harry insists that lie popped the question.

When the train pulled in, generous Uucle Bill was at the depot to greet and welcome the much elated couple. After breakfast tho anxious newcomers at Uncle Bill's request, accompanied hfm about town with a viow to pettiic acquainted and arranging in detail all the matters incidental to building and furnising the new borne; "and now for a desirable spot" said Undo Bill, "to build on; let's go in and confer with Dibble & William; the leading real estate and rent agents who aro known to be thoroughly reliable and who have the endoisement of all the best citizens and who work to satisfy and retain tho con lldenceand cood will of those who deal with them and who have tho largest list of good farms and city properties in the county.' 2how sinco Undo Bill'd first gift to his newly married niece will be a pretentious new residence and possessing but a vague idea as to what would bo imposing, commodiouB and acceptable, he sud denly remembered A. J. Savage as being conversant with architecture and in close touch with the building interests hero, who, after Uncle Bill had made known tho object of his visit, eoon nr rcnged about tho plan for a most modern residence. Uncle Bill then and there also awarded Mr. Savage the contract to build it, remarking that nobody ever questioned hie integrity or ability in exe cuting a contract to the letter, and on time too. "In erecting a bume, one perhaps to be left as a tributo of family pride to succeeding generations, it is absolutely Important to use only Al lumber and material, otherwise in a decade or so the building would topple over," said Uncle Bill with an assured air, I will avoid this dilemma. I will arrange with E. B. Dean & Co about the lumber and inter ior finish and the sundry articles. The yards ore always filled with pine and fir lumber of all kinds and dimensions, and tho manifold things needed in the con struction of buildings in these latter days, adequate to meet the demands of trade."

"I can't bear the idea of going home again, " tays Harry, emerging from the restaurant, "since we have been living so "high down here," "What's the matter, Harry," said Uncle Bill, "isn't your wife a good cook?" "You are the first man that ever accused her of being a rook at all," said Harry, "but my wUV lays all the blanio on tho stove." "Then get her & hot cir tight stove or an Occi dental steel range. The leidlug rauge of the universe. "From who?" asked Harry. "Why from W. P.

The whole community depends on this firm for hardware supplies and agricul tural implements. With the exception of a piano our new home is complete," said Iluttio to Uncle Bill. "Now, what make would you advise us to buy." "Why a Chick- ering, discourse. J, H. Flanagan, bank er, aud ?Irs. Dr. C. W.
