"Can Ihftt bo Annie Shcpliordl" The speaker half rose to hia foot nnd looked eagerly out of the windowt The expression that settled upon his ffico loft no doubt that it was Miss Shepherd. "Sho has loss common eonso than any woman I over know , " ho said with impa- tioncu. The day was quito unfit for action , though eminently favorable for reverie and reflection. So all people of regulated habita would agrco but Hiss Shepherd ad seen fit to transpose the very evident ntcnticn of the weather managers , and ad chosen to act rather than dawdle , nd dream. And Sir. Manchester , who was moro orthodox , and who had done othing all day but build air-castles , had .enounced . her accordingly. Such n rain as it vraal Nowhere can moro triumphant deluges coma out of high skies than in the Traverse region. The bucketsful that were poured in great awaahing shoots came .from such an alti tude that one's breath was fairly dashed out of one's body if caught in A sudden gust round a corner. Summering 1 Pleasuring ! And hero at IlarborSpringsitwos as cold an Siberia. A north wind that had come overall the ice of the poles had mot a tromonndous thunder-gust from the equator , and the two together were having it out. And of course , as a part of an idle man's luck , this contest must occur on the very day ho had sot to take Miss Shepherd - herd with him to a romantic doll ho had-discovered somewhere in the neigh borhood. "Is it possible ? " ho exclaimed attain , aa ho worried about in his chair , evidently too much nettled with disgust to bo able to keep still. Now , Mr. Manchester had been hard hit , Ho , a typical Ohicagoan blonde of course , rotund , mcdiinnly bold , not very young had boon so well groavod.so armed it that the hit cap-a-pio , as wore , had literally stunned him , and everybody else , with surprise. A wull-dolivorod blow it must have been , sent by a cool hand and practiced oyo. Whether it was heel or heart that was struck time alone could show ; if the former , probably , hko Achilles , ho would die of it ; if the latter , the danger was not appreciable. Seated in the comfortable hotel office ho had done nothing all this day but watch through the streaming windows the pelted and drenched street. The bulk of the tourist guests had gone on n steamer excursion to Mackinaw the night before , Ho hod boon invited to join this party to the island , but after the adroit dis covery that Annie Shepherd had declined going ho had also declined. His roa- ions for so doing were patent to every one but himself. Then had followed that little episode of his invitation to her to join him in a walk next da > . This had boon hastily whispered in the hull on parting at night , and accepted with a nod and smile * It was ono of the dampest , mossiest spots in the whole regio'n. Ho had once found a bear's frosli track on the moss , and had christened it therefore "Board of Trade Glen. " But the rain had put a provoking stop to this plan. And Miss Shepherd had capped the peak of his disgust by pleading "headache na ft reason for keeping outol sight all day , ho having called very early in the forenoon. Yet there she wont , or his eyes had lost their cunning ! It is true there was a lull in the rain , but none in the wind. And with n lioud- ache , what could tempt her out ? Too ill to BOO him , and yet well enough to bravo this tempest ! She wont down the stops clad in n gos samer , and with her umbrella up an umbrella big enough for two. She must have had the limbd of an Atalan to move with such equable tjraco and strength , foi the wind tried its wickedest to puff out that ugly , ulster-shaped thing nnd to make her fine , slender outline look fat. He caught a glimpse of n good stout boot , seeming all the daintier tor its stoutness , And watching and mentally taking in all the line points , ho kept up n scattering tire of ejaculation : "She'll got hei death-cold. " Was there over such an uiv reasoning , unprognosticatablo crcaturo at she ? " She disappeared , fluttering like a loose * sailed pirate-craft , round the corner. Ho know just about her course whor ho saw her turn to the right and bend herself to meet the blast , which was dir < ectly in her face. Ho rallied his Houses as ho lost sight ol her. Back into his chair wont the book ho had not oven pretended to read ; up tlu stairs , two steps at a time , ho sprang , and presently returned nrrayed in his Edin- burg great-coat , and leisurely pulling r nuwly-lighted cigar. A. good observer would have noted ail hour before that the weather was likolv to clear. There was a , palo , yellow steali in the north , and a tendency to lift and take flight on the part of the clouds , These sigiiH worn at the bottom of Mis : Stophord's venture , but Mr. Manchester1 ! perceptions had been too long lulled bj Ills native smokes for him to huvodetected the imminent change. Consequently ho was greatly astonishot when , upo'n stepping along the vorandi and spreading his umbrella , ho found tin raiu had entirely ceased. As lib friondi well know , foremost among the things hi hated there was a long list of foremost was an umbrella. So , on finding ho dii not need ono , ho rccklesly set his dowi in the rack in the hall and sauntered in differently out. Ho did not directly follows Miss Shop herd's route , but struck off into a ntroo that was sure to intercept her. Aftoi much readjusting of hat and coat hi finally settled down to gonulnohard worl in mooting and resisting the wind. It was a gusty gale. It smelt of tlu whiUicap * that were tearing along the ahoro , and of the Norway pines , blacl with wet but unrumpled , that clothed the land , He gave up his cigar at once aa imprao ticablo , and flung it away. JIo was in eight of his will-o'-the-wisp , for she , nol offering M great a bulk of resistance at himself , hod got on famously against the opposing force. She had * hut her umbrella , but as she could not kepp her gossamer within any decorous limits she looked very much like a pedestrian-balloon , and Manchcstei langhod to himsol.'at the way the element * dared to trifle with her grace. A little refrain bunt out in his head. I should call her I should name her , Hamadryad of the Oaouchouc ! " It was inglorious u to rhyme or meas ure , but utilitarian u to quality , as befit , ted commercial man. Now , ho put forth his muscle. He left off walking ho strode. She was flap , ping along the beach in advance with a streaming blue veil out for a pennon. But he did ke p her feet admirably. Diana \ - * wa-j4 couldn't have done bettor if she had been into petticoats. Still ho gained upon her sensibly , o und Buporabundant zest in something , zone ? Lung expansion ? Or was it the intaliztng , novor-twico-aliko woman who udod whllo ho led the woman with loss common sense than any ho had vor known ? " /ost there was at any rate , that brought ruddy color to his facoand cleared vay the discontent of the morning from in spirits. Ho had quito overtaken her before she now of the pursuit. "Lot mo carry that umberolls , " ho aid , without a preface. "If you please it holds several pounds C water , and I am tired of it. " "I did not start till the rain was over' ' an accent of aolf-rightous complacence n the personal pronoun. "I was just in time for the final dash , " nd she delivered over to him her water- oakod burden , IIo shook it out , refolded it , twisted it nto as cloao compass aa possible , but- oncd it , and then used it aa a cano. "Is this the way to Board of Trade Qlenl" she finked , with a mischievous glance. 'Quito the opposite entirely opposite. 3ut shall wo go there ? " halting and half eager to carry out his first purpose. " 0 , no. I think I prefer the open beach. It would bo like a stroll under a street-sprinkler to walk in the woods iw. " "How is the hoadachoMias Shophard ? " moving along gravely after this rebuff. A sudden expression swept over her face that looked to him like guilt. IIo directly felt n suspicion , half angry , half helpless , that ho had boon put oil' all day from seeing her by a mere hackneyed plea a sort of feminine professional escape. Before she could answer , ho added : "O , it has served its purpose , probably , and ditd , like any other ephemera. " To have him crabbed usually amused Miss Shephardjto have him ironical frozu to her indifference , but this direct assump , tion that she had boon shamming gave her an unwonted sense of pain. The truth waa , she had waked in the morning with the huadacho , and had sent him a mcssago to that effect when ho desired - sired to BOO her at an unreasonably early hour. But it had passed off , and she quito forgotten that it hover had boon. "Do you think a headache part of iny stock in trade ? " she asked with high color. "Oh , no ; forgive mo , of course I don't. If I did think that it would bo to class you with all other women in that particu lar. And in no particular are you like any other woman. That was making amends with a ven geance. Silence followed the speech. "Isn't this too much of an effort for you , Miss Shophard this battle with the wind1 ? after a pauso. "Oh , no ; I like it. " "But if you were to take my arm I am sure it would steady you until wo got in the lee of that wood ; then it will bo sior. " ' I do verv wnll alone , thank you. " " ' " "H'm-m ! "Is this a favorite promenade , Miss Shepherd ? I should think it niicht bo line exorcise to walk hero when the sand is deep and dry. It must como over ono'a shoe-tops , and is as unstable as a wo man's temper. " "Is that your strongest aimilo , Mr. Man cheater ? " "I do not think of anything at present t that could strengthen it. " "I do walk hero frequently. Now and 1 then I meet a stray Indian woman. You i have noticed the grace of these squaws ? I It crimes from their preference fur the sand as n promenade. But they gener ally carry a basket of fish.or a pappoose on thnir shoulders to effect a proper bal ance. " " Choy are hideous. They don't walk they plow. " "Try tno bench lomo dry day yourself , Mr. Manchester , and see how easy it is to bo graceful. " "It is easy now , at least , " ho said , significantly - nificantly glancing at her , really brim ming ever with compliment and anxious to get below the tart ctust of her mood 1 into the lurking places of her aweetoi humor. She ignored him. She halted now , tracing the faint t ridges in the sand , where each outgoing wave loft the record of its journey. "They are all aspiring , " she s d. "But t ono washes out the trace of the other with just as little mercy as men show to the work of their fellow-mon. " ' 'If the shorelines were alwayi the same , this fresh , buoyant lake would be a stagnant pool. Wo should die of it. Ootter the stirring and rubbing-out than the standing still. Aren't the now wave marks as graceful as the old I" "Perhaps. " This half-satirical sparring was ono of their customs. She seemed specially to delight in it. lip was always glancing off into personalities her personality but she liked to reflect , and to say per verse things. Just then a long-reaching swash came boldly up and crawled all about her foot. Thanks to her stout boots aha got away with little wotting. But Manchester was distressed. "Your foot nro wot. Miss Shepherd. " "On the outside Yes. " "Bo reasonable. The water must have cropr inside , I am euro. It is a grca < risk. " "I got thorn wet every day. I novot suffer from it. " "I have a suspicion that in order tc keep you out of the water ono would have to command you to go into it. I am sure 3 you would go dry-shod all your life il some ono should plead with you to wado. " Oh , how she tantalized and vexed him. "Really , " in a half-injured tone , "thoy are thoroughly dry. I run no risk. " Manchester deliberated before ho made any further advance. Thou lifting up the umbrella and scanning it its entire length ho said with some exasperation : "How does it happen that for merely ono asking I am in possession of this am. clos ? I should suppose thai because I wanted to carry it I couldn't ' have had it on any terms. " "Oh , that is easily explained. You did no want to carry it it was merely a stress of politeness that impelled you to ask to do it. If you had really craved the pleasure of course you couldn't have had it , " "I hate an umbrella , " ho answered with vehemence. "You can have it back , Miss Shepherd. It will servo aa support instead of my arm. " "I got on very well without either. " No sooner waa this uttered than a sud den whim on the part of the storm sent the rain pouring down upon them. It was a retiring silaam an effusive au rovolr , There WM a moment's grim satisfac tion to Manchester in seeing the water dashed into her defenceless faco. IIo would have felt thoroughly iustlfied in | leaving her to got the full force of it as Ion ? as it should last. But pity and tenderness quickly suo- . ceoded. ( With great difficulty be opened the umbrella , took her hand with firmness , drew it closely within his arm , nnd shel tered her as best ho could. A group of dwarf pines WAS near , n little back from the beach in the snml. IIo drew her toward thorn nnd they proved an excellent barrier against the torm. It was comparatively calm there , mtaho was forced to stand very close to lim to avoid the dclugo. IIo looked down into her glowing faco. t did not teem at all to him as if either > f them lacked good sense in being thoro. t WM delightful , blissful. "Would you have boon aa generous tone no , " ho mid , bonding down to her , "if rou had had the umbrella and I had boon rying by every moans to pick a quarrel with you ? " "Quarrel ? " She lifted her eyes in surprised quos- ion a moment , but dropped them at once with n vivid blush. She mot some thing in his , which were ( t too close ango to bo evaded , that made her heart icat terribly. But she rallied. "I never quarrel. It is you who dis tract mo always , and because I am not docile , you " "I-- ? " "Yes. You " "Yos , I love you Annio. " There waa no escape , no room whatever for coquetry. To turn to the ouo side was to bo drenched , to turn to the other was to bo almost within his arm * . She was at a tremendous disadvantage. She wanted to laugh , but , instead , n little tlo tremor went over her chin , and she began to cry. How ho comforted horhow ho soothcc her , lot the umbrella tollfor it shut them away from all observers until her self' ccntrol was quito restored. When ho lifted it again to take n peep at the prospect without she waa smiling. "IU\nl showers , " ho said , with a spark of malico. The spark kindled no resentment. She would not seem to hear. "Do you hate this umbrella ? " was her adroit question , to turn the subject. Obscuration again , caused by the um brella's sinking once moro over their heads. Standing in the rain for a length o : time may have romantic olpmonta in it , but can never bo wholly without anxiety or discomfort. Manchester liked ono fea ture of it the proximity. But , however - over kindly the umbrella had lent itsel ! to their purposes , it had failed to kocp them dry. So they started homeward , arm in arm , as they had not como. Ho was ten der , she compliant. "How much sweeter a woman is who has been vanquished than ono born tract able , " thought the victor. The wind was now at their backs am helped to speed thorn along. It musi have ha'l n sense of the ludicrous abou it , too , for it suddenly got under the urn brolla , and almost carried it out of Man Chester's hands , The handle would stay with him ; the top would not. It made a complete revolution of itself in other words , turned wrong side out. Miss Shepherd waa forced to r lax her grip of her lover's arm ; hia energies wei centered elsewhere. In ono momen more the fatal "yes" would have bee spoken ; but Fate interposed a hiatus , as Fate is apt to do. Manchester had a great deal of obsti nacy that waa wont to como to the frorr in emergencies. Neither nia attitude no : gait was at the present moment dignified , but ho manifested a determination not to bo conquered by an inanimate thing h had so often reviled. IIo waa in fine chnso after it when hi : hat cuught the contagion and went firing off his head in advance. Then disgust camoovor him. Ho gav the umbrella a gay toss , and , bareheaded , returned to Annio. She was laughing merrily. \ "I can live without them , " ho said , taking her hand and drawing it through his arm ; "but 1 can't without you. Give mo your answer , Annio. " "Ah , but look at yourself. You run great risks in being so uncovered" with the same accent of concern ho had used about her ohoes. "No matter. Tell me. " JHo was irresistiblo. "Yes , yea , then ; but do save my urn brella. " IIo gave her a broad daylight kiss , and then Trent after the recreant article , while she did the earno for his hat. They were a very contented twain whou at length they reached their hotel , neither of them seemingly the worse for the weather. Manchester found , in accordance with the universal law , that his umbrella had been abstracted during his absence frem the hall where ho had left it. His was a lovely silk ouo , slim aa a cane , import ed , while this ono ho held in hia hand wua meant for bucolic uses only , "Never mind , " ho said , as they parted at the foot of the stairs , "ono umbrella will hereafter do for both. " 0. D. CARDINAL. Humor in the Stomach. Much of the distress nnd sickness at tributed to dyspepsia , chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several cases , with all the characteristics of these complaints , have boon cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
