The Bad and Worthless

is is especially true of a family medicine, and
it is positive proof that the remedy imitated
is of the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole World that
Hop Hitters was the purest, beBt and most val
uable family medic' ne on earth, many imita
tions sprang up and began to steal the notices
which-the press and the people of the country
had expressed tne rnems oi a. o.nua m ev
ery way trying to induce sufferingeanvallds to
use their stuff instead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put np in similar style
toH. B., with variously devised names In which
the word "Hop" or "Hops" were used In a way
to induce people to believe they wete the same
as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies,
or cures, no matter what their style or name
is, and especiiUly those with the word "Hop"
orl'Hops'' in their name or in" any way con
nected with them or their name, are imitations
or counterfeits! Bewareiof them. Touch none
of them, use nothing out genuine, .nop Bit

It was a shackly, tumble-down
cottage, with moss and lichen break
ing out in patches ore the decayed
weatherboarding, ana a creaking
porch from which the rustic benches
had long ago rotted away.; me pic
turesque aspect of the old place had
taken Miss Winter's fancy, and so
little, fair-faced Daisy had found the
weeny aaamou to tue um wiucu
she earned with her dressmaking was
all that now went into her shabby
purse. . .'.'. j .- ' . j.
There was a muffled cry oi 'Daisyz
Daisy 1' as those t wo pproached to
gether) thence once, twice, the report
of a'pistol, together with the sound
of shattered glass, was borne to their
ears. M .-
'It's Kick,' cried Daisy, breathless
ly; 'I looked for him in his room.
Do go and talk to Miss Winter,
Kalpa, till I get him quiet again.'
.! She was off "as she spoke. Miss
Winter had come to the door, half in
alarm, and looked inquiringly ' at
Ralph as he approached: j . . ' j
'Do you think he is doing any thing
reckless? she asked. f
j 'Nothing worse ; than smashing a
window or two; it's his favorite way
Of calling his sister. Pty he can't
put his balls to better use.' !
I I wonder that vou leave her to be
the victim of his whims,' said the la
dy, with a straight look at him.
IV said Kalph, with a shrug oi nis
broad shoulders. :.. .' 'i i". '
Perhap she did not mean to dis
claim such a .intention " on his part,
but it looked like it How could he
tell Miss Winter that the only reason
he had not taken Daisy away months
before was because Kick had out
Weighed her liking for him ? It was
a sore subject with Ralph at the best,
inot one he would chooseto parade
to the world at large. ;
Two hours after that Daisy stole
but into the moonlight, utterly wear
ied with the scene through which she
hfd passed. , All her efforts had been
fruitless to entice Kick back; to his
bed. He sat on a bench in the kitch
en, limp and stupid after that fit of
violence, and Daisy stole . ottt, as I
have said, to breathe the heavy sweet
ness of dying roses,' and Vjrush their
dewy leaves with , her f aoei The
shadows lay thickly upon the porch,
but there was a stir there, and Miss
Winter's voice! said softly r " '
' 'Goodnight I' : 1 ' f
tired of me, and I can't do better
than to make an end of myself. , I'm
going the straight road.'
i ; Daisy . threw herself before the
gate : she clung to him, pleaded with
him. . Half crazed as he was. Rick
was in no condition to' go back to the
village in and the rough crowd which
would be gathered there at the hour.
But all of a drunken' man's bbstinacy
was roused, and while they I stood
thus there ; came again the roll of
wheels that were checked .suddenly,
and Dr. Lloyd, sprang down as .he
took in that scene at a glance. - I
Hjto into the house, luchard, he
commanded, and Kick, j without a
word obeyed: I'll give him a powder,
said the doctor to Daisy, j Ton; must
sleep yourself to night He stood
talking with her after-he seen Rick
safely in his room. So he has had
the pistol again. Well, I don't think
that need alarm you;' Kick isn't One
to do himself any harm. He has been
sly enough to hide it again, or I
would take poaession of it He; is
never violent toward you. '
'Oh, no, never. j
Not quite brute enough for that
muttered the doctor, as he tood his
leave and Daisy slept peacefully after
her trouble. i ..- j, j
She did not really believe that
.Ralph, meant what ; he said, but he
seemed determined after that to visit;
his displeasure upon her. Miss Win
ter came back from her walk next
day with her hands full of ferns.
'So Mr. Armstrong isn't your ehn
gaged lover after alii' she remarked
to Daisys 'I would have been flirting
with him before this if I hadn't sup ,
posed he belonged to you." i . , j

much better than she pretended, and
liked Kalph none the less because he
seemed on the point of deserting his
little white. Daisy for her. , ; i

the-first. It was a revelation to Dai
sy when she came upon him one day
holding a crushed flower which-Miss
Winter had worn. ; He had not been
near the village for days. Languid
and spiritless he had crept about the
house or lain in the long grass 'with
a look on his face which went to his
Bister's heart She understood it
ing-
him
now as she saw him lift 'the fallen
ed it,1 and that look answered,
without the low spoken words
; 'I am very happy.': "

She had a little hope that this new
feeling might work some good in him,
but before the week was over he had
broken bounds again, as if determined
to bury regret in qplmon. r j
Meanwhile the time came tor Miss
.Winter to return to the city, and she

drive her to the station. He came
with his light carriage and mettled
horse, looking neither Bony nor cast
down, Daisy observed with a throb
of the heart . . ( ' ' i v - ; j
He isn't false, j then; hell come

Rick had been at the village.; He
was on his way home, when,) at some
distance away, he saw the j carriage
standing at "the parsonage ' gate.
Ralph and Miss jWinter were just
taking their places in it, the minister
stood on the steps, and the! curious
face of a servant ; looked down from
a garret window.! As Kalph -settled
down in his Beat his glance fell upon
that shambling figure by the,; road
side and he gavel a vicibns Cut iwith
his whip. The spirited horse started
with a plunge, a buckle snapped, and
then the next instant 'his driver had
lost all control over him. J ' 1 j ;

for having td go through life j yoked
to such an old prize ox! as Pa.
heard him tell Ma that, when he was
helping her put on her waterprivelege
to go home m the rain the night of
the sociable and' she looked at him
just as she does at me when Bhe wants
me to go down to the hair foundry
after her switch and said; - "0, you
dear brother," and all the way home
he kent he her waterorivileere on bv
putting his arm on the small of her
back. Ma asked Pa if he didnt think
the deacon was very kind, and Pa
said, f'Yes, dam kind," j but that was
afore he got 'ligion. ' We sat in
pew, at the prayer meeting, : next to
Ma and the deakin, and there was
lots of pious folks all round j there.
After the preacher had gone to bat
and an old lady had her innings,
praying; and 'the singers had got put
on the first base, Pa was oni i deck.
and the preacher ,, said; they would
like to bear . . from the recent
convert, who was trying to walk in
the straight and narrow way, but
who found it so hard, owing j to the
many crosses he had ; to bear. Pa
knowed it was him that had to go to
bat, and he got up and said" he felt it
was so good to be there.
He said be didn't feel that he was a

getting' in his work the best he could.
He said at times everything looked

Before the schools dismissed for. a

had something to say about' 1
George Washington, and j some ;bf :
them felt it their duty to see . if tha ;

"To save the country from paying
up bis buck salary." ,
'Why do we not honor the 22nd

"Because we can get out of school
and go skatining or hitch on."
"I guess you don't know much
about Washington."
'No'm and I dont to My father
can take a clock all to peices and
grease her up and make her run, and
I don't believe Washington could,'
She made one more effort to get
out of it without loss of dignity, by
asking. . ,
'What has this country done to
honor Washington?
'Named a lot ol saloons, ferry boats, .
