' : 'rf FACTOBY NEAR THE DEPOTS DAISY'S II A IVlOTIE PA TI13NT. BY RETT WINWOOD. ling a ling-hng rang the office- bell, and Doctor Hammond, worn out with nightly vigils and hard rid ing, had just settled himself for an afternoon nap. "I declare it is too aggravating ! said pretty Daisy Verne, the doctors niece, hurrying to answer the sum mons. "These country people, with all their imaginary aches and ills, will be the death of poor Uncle David." "The doctor is wanted at the Rook ery, announced the red-headed far mer she found waiting upon the stoop "light away!" Daisy took a moment to consider. "It's only old Joe Bagley," she thought. "It is nothing worse than a rheumatic pain or the influenza Every few days he is on his back and imagines himself at death's door. It would be a mercy to uncle if he were to be taken with something serious once. I'll take the medicine- case and go over myself. I am as capable of perscribing a dose of thorough wort-tea as anybody else." An hour later, she stood at the Rookery door, a pictsresque old ruin a mile back from the villacre street. The carved lintel crowning the front entrance showed it had been a place of consequence in its day. No one heeded Daisy's loud knock, and she entered the low, dark room where old Joe usually sat smoking his pipe. Some one lay upon the horse-hair sofa, smothered m shawls, his face turned to the wall. Tm sure there is nothing the mat ter with you, Mr. Bagley," she said, indignantly, crossing to his side. "But if you must have a dose of drugs and powders, it shall be a strong one ; and perhaps you won't be so ready to send for Uncle David again. . No response from the muffled fig ure, and Daisy gave the shawl a vicious twitch. "Put out pour tongue and let ma feel your pulse. I can't remain idling here," The figure turned ; the . folds of the wrap fell apart. The dark, handsome face of an ut ter stranger met her astonished gaze. Daisy's cheeks flushed hotly ; she elt a mad wish that the earth would open and swallow her. But the roguish look in the great, glowing ej'es that met her own re called her to her senses. She was in for it now, and might as well carry out the farce with a bold front. Ladj" doctors are rather numer ous in these days, and how was this good-looking stranger to Lnow she was an imoostor t "I beg ycur pardon 1" she paid, gravely. "I supposed I was ad dressing Mr. Bagley, who is noted for the number of his ailments. Wbat can I do for you ?" "That is for you to discover," an swered the most musical voice Daisy had ever heard, though she was cer tain she detected a quiver of sup pressed merriment in it. "I came here this morning to sketch the old ruin, and was taken suddenly ill. The girl really had acquired some slight knowledge of medicine, and it now served her in good stead. "You have taken a severe cold,' she said, feeling his pulse, "and I de tect symptoms of incipient fever." "Does my tongue look so very bad?" No," she answered, steadily, though conscious he was laughing at her. "With proper care vou will soon be well and strong. I shall leave a few drops of this medicine to throw you into a profuse perspira tion. Afterward you must be care ful about exposure for a few hours." Her cheeks were burning, but she managed to measure the drops into a glass standing upon the table. As she turned away, a voice said, from the sofa: "You will not leave me until Mr. Bagley returns, doctor ? He has gone to the village to make some pui-chases." Daisy reluctantly seated herself. In her '-professional" capacity she could not well do otherwise. The young man, after gazing at her for a moment with dancing eyes, said, in a matter of-fact tone : "My head aches, doctor. Will you be kind enough to bathe it while you are waiting ?" Refusal was out of the question. There was nothing at hand but cool, spring water. Daisy felt like showering the con tents of the dipper over her aggra vating patient. He closed his eyes and seemed perfectly content as he felt the touch of her velvet head. fingers upon his fore- At last footsteps sounded without. Daisy sprang up, breathing a sigh of relief. Mr. Bagley has come. I will send over my" she would not say "uncle," and so used the word "col league" instead "in tbe morning." She hastened out, meeting the startled old man upon the steps. Doctor Hammond himself visited the patient the next day. Poor, flurried Daisy heard no more of him. bometuing like a month later a letter came from her father for years a restlest wanderer upon the face of the earth, and now off for a trip to Mexico that overwhelmed poor Daisy with misery. 'My child," the letter said, "i wish you to set oat immediately for Thorndyke Hall where you are exacted to make a long visit. Mrs. Thorn - dyke will receive you with open arms. Her hus- band was my best friend, and his son, Basil, pro- ftf)KSt tt in n vmi nitt wita T An nnr- nih v force your inclinations, but I shall be Tieously ainappointeu tt you tto not marry mm. and beauty but poor Daisy shivered Daisy dashed the bitter tears from : and tiembled under the silken cov her eyes. She knew absolutely erings of the luxurious bed all night nothing of the Thorndykes, and it ' long. seemed so strange that .Basil should make overtures for her hand. "I will go, because papa wishes it," she thought; "but I would rather die than to marry that orge." Whj she used the word "orge,' Daisy could not have told; only that was the fancy pictured her would be suitor. Explicit directions accompanied her father's letter. The iournev was to be performed by rail, and she had scarcely seated herself, when a tall, handsome gentleman came down j the aisle of the car. One glance, j and Daisy's heart began to throb : madly. He was the Jpatient of the Rookery. He held out bis hand, with an ag-; gravating smile. "Glad to see you, doctor. Pos sibly I owe my life to your skill. - It j was a great trial to have that brus que old man take your place. He coolly established himself in the vacant seat at her side. There was a moment's silence; then he said, with a queer, quizzical glance : "Where are you going, doctor ?" Daisy felt the spirit of mischief take possession of her. "I do not nimd telling you, since ! you seem interested. I am going to get married." "Indeed ! To some favored lover, of course ?" "No; to a gentleman I never saw." "Fortunate fellew ! Of course he must be young, handsome, wealthy and agreeable." "I can only give you the picture I have mentally formed." "Well?" "He must be rich, or my father wold not favor the alliance. But I am sure he is old and ugly, and ig norant and disagreeable. I shall bate him with all - my heart, and spend the remainder of my days in coddling him." "Your medical skill will be of in estimable value to you in that event." Daisy saw that shadow of a nmile lurking about his lips, and went on, hastily : "Tbomdyke Hall itself must be a rat-infested ruin, barren of even the comforts of life. I imagine it as being located in a desolute region, where even the crows would starve. I shall have no companion save old Mrs. Thorndyke, a snuffy witch of a woman, who has not read a news paper for twenty years." "A pleasant picture, truly. I trust ti ml you will te nappy in your new home." "Thanks," satirically. 'If you tire of it, you can resume the practice of your profession, you know." They rattled on in this way until the stranger left the train at a way station. Daisy dropped her head upon tbe seat in front of her when he was gone, and actually sobbed. Her tears were not dry when she reached her destination.. There was no carriage in waiting, and as Thorn dyke Hall was but half a mile from the railway station, she set out to walk. Sound a handsome, imposing-mansion in the midst of attractive ground. "The ostentation of wealth !" she thought. The house had a shut up aspect that chilled her, and she went round to a side-door. Evidently there were but two persons upon the premises, and she soon stood face to face with them a yellow, wrinkled old woman, and a repulsive-looking lightning while dressing for her wed man past fifty.

I "Itou are certain to like him," said ' the woman, complacently. "Goojl, ; sons always make good husbands, ' you know." I Daisy felt herself sicken with ap- prehension. Was it possible that her father would willingly consk her t th fcul fate of weddiul I iyj u wcuvitug j such a man ? She asked t) bJ ber I 1 TOOm. J t Was a marvel of elegance j The ugliness of mother and son seemed intensified when she went down stairs to meet them the next morning. She had scarcely made her appearance, when the latter said : "I have just received a line from Mr. Verne. Your father wishes the marriage to take place immediately. I have made all the necessary prepa rations, and a clergyman will be here at ten o'clock " "But I do not love you," gasped poor Daisy. "I cannot become your wife. ' He looked at her with a iug frown. threaten- "Your father's wish is my law. You will learn to love me ; it could not be otherwise. I shall come for you at the appointed time. And he did. Daisy had decided j -x to appeal to the clergyiSan, but' instant she saw his face, something told her it would be in vain. He looted nuite as evil as nis comedo. rats. . f f--- The ceremony had actually begun, when a quick step sounded outside, and a man bounded into the room. Daisy's handsome patient again ! She sprang forward and clung to his arm, bursting into tears of joy and relief. "JSave me !"' she cried, hysterically. The newcomer glanced sternly around the room. Mother and son cowered under the lightning of that look. "What is the meaning of this strange scene?" It was Daisy who made response : "I was half in earnest when I said I was coming to Thorndyke Hall to get married. But nothing could in duce me to give my hand to yonder wretch. It was his purpose to wed me against my will." The dark eyes opened wider and wider in amazement. "Who do you think he is?" "Basil Tbomdyke." "The villain ! Has he dared to de ceive you so cruelly ? I see it all. He knew you were expected some time, and seeing the error you had naturally fallen into, resolved to profit by it. 11 is real name is Dick Grubb. And I, my darling, am Ba sil Thorndyke the inau who loves you with his whole heart, and asks no greater honor than to make yoa his cherished wife." Then the truth came out. Basil had fallen in love with Daisy at first HiVlit. and on learninc the name of his pretty doctor, had solicited her hand in marriage of Mr. Verne, who was an old friend. There had been a mistake as to the time of her expected visit to -Tborn- dvke Hall which had been left in charge of Mrs. Grubb and her so: for a season hence nobody t there to welcome her. Daisy's preconceived noiirzis t her would-be husband were so am ing to Basil, when they met accide tally upon the train, that he resolvi to wait a little before disabusing hi mind, never dreaming of the dange to which he was exposing her. Mrs. Thorndyke vas summoned in . great haste, and proved to be a love-' ly and accomplished lady. Other servants came in to take the places left vacant by the discharge of the treacherous Grubbs. One month later there was a grand wedding at Thorndyke Hall, when Daisy promised to take charge of her handsome patient for life. !

N Y" Sun As we understand the doctrine of the Administration in regard to of fensive iailisanship, a Democrat in omce must not make himself offen - . f sive to any one by reason of his par- y 1 edehecbous. It therefore be- comes quite iuterestino- and impor- ttt to Democrats who have already obtained or expect toobtain appoint- rnents under the Federal Govern- mnf t . j ucilug iu ieyiuueu lur oueuHire parti- t,unlWn What constitutes an offensive par- tisan" In some cases the question is not difficult to answer. Take, for example, the Ohio Post- i master who stood in the door of his Post Office and proclaimed to the villagers: "If you want to vote for a gentleman and a statesman, vote lor James G. Blaine; if you want to vote for 250 pounds of flesh and a No. IS collar, vote for Grover Cleveland." This Postmaster is naturally classed among the offensive Republican par tisaus by Mr. Vilas. There are other cases in which the i problem is not so easy to solve. At the banquet in Boston to Sen ator Logan, a short time ago, a num ber of Republican officeholders were conspicuous by their absence. Neith er the Postmaster, the Collector, nor the United States Marshal attended, and it is suggested in various New England newspapers that they stay ed away for fear their presence at a dinner to the Republican candidate for Vice President would be regard ed as evidence of offensive partisan ship ! I A Atunrding to this view, a public an. ii lie ouor of arty to fapplica- f 1 deprive linners in ir years. 11 ilifjin nf- political J: for a portent ecv .i.in otate renders es- seutSTtor tbe administration to de termine soon how far it will allow Federal officers to participate in State politics. Of course no man should be permitted to neglect his public duties or pervert his official power to party ends ; but it will be a hazardous experiment, we fear, to prohibit all political activity what ever on the part of Democrats in of fice. Will Democratic officeholders be allowed to go as delegates to nomi- j nating conventions ? Will they be allowed to attend such gatherings, even if they do not go as delegates Where is the line to be drawn which shall indicate how far they may go and no farther? These questions will have to be answered before long, and we are confident that the Administration will answer them intelligently and with wisdom. THE GROWING "GOLDEN WEED."

We understand from practi cal experience what plowing, chop ping, hoeing, mowing, picking stones and other kinds of farm work really axe. But in our early home it took a sma.l fortune to purchase a farm, and the price per aore is no less to day than it was years ago. With laud at thirty and forty dollars an acre ; with lumber at ten dollars per thousand ; with horses at one hun dred and fifty, cows at forty and fif ty, and sheep at from four to six dol lars each, what chance is there for m young man with limited means to get a home in the North? We know many men in some parts of Pennsylvania who have toiled for years to get a home. They manage to pay interest and live, while they know that unless they strike some streak of unusually good luck, they will never own their homes. Can one wonder that they become de spoddent? To all such the Sonth offers a golden opportunity. Good land can be purchased at from five to seven dollars an acre. Elegant pine lum ber can be obtained at six dollars a thousand. Living is comparatively cheap. The prices of stock are so low that good horses and cows are easily purchased- The seasons are long. The climate is delightful, and health floats on every breeze. We shall be glad to hear from our Northern friends on the subject of Southern homes, and will give any inquiiies they may make of us the most caref ull consideratiou. We shall have more to say on this subject in future issues of this pa per. A YOUTHFUL HERO. The Louisville, Ky Time of June 15 gives a thrilling aceount of the heroic conduct of "Little Willie Davis," of that city, in saving the lijg of a child six years old that had fallen into the river from an excur sion steamer. The child had gone down for the second time, and while trong men were hesitating what to di. young Davis, who is just thirteen years old, dove into the river and seizing the drowning cnild brought it to the surface and 6aved its life. The Time says: "When young Davis arrived at his hone he did not even mention nis adventure to his parents, and they did not learn of it until the father of the rescued boy called at their home to thank the gallant boy. Mr. Dab ney was very free with bis tnanks and praise, and promised his life-long riendship to the boy who had saved the lif ! of his child. When Major Davis commended his son Willie for his heroic deed, the lad modestly answered that he had only done what he thought right, and slipped away to bed at the first opportunity. llin ih on BatJ"" clears out Bat.
