It was eoemingly a hopeless case, and might have boon, only for a demure "Charley, I havo said 'yes* twice, and if you nean it, I mean it, too, and " And to this day that young man will insist that he popped the question. All this happened away "downeast," and it wasn't long before there was a wedding. Not much longer before there came a. letter from Folly's Uncle Josh, out here in West Ontario, who wrote effusively of his delight to hear of her exhibition of what he called "grit," and he proposed that if the young peo ple would locate at Essex he. would start them up in life, as a wedding gift. Of course they accepted, and were soon bidding their friends adieu. A few weeks subsequent to the above conversation a travel-stained party arrived in Essex. Our friend-Uncle Josh was in charge and he led - the party straightway to a hotel. "The Aberdeen, aaid he, "is a typical Canadian hotel of the best class. I am acquainted with the proprietor. George Bears, scad he is mine host after mine own heart, a thorough business man, endowed with that delightful intuition that makes a guest feel at home, com fortable, contented; and in mighty good In ok. The house is one of con venience; the apartments are well fur nished and the cuisine excellent.'I have engaged rooms there until your own house is in readiness." -. *' After breakfast?-' said the old man, " I am ready to go buy your outfit. To expedite matters I have ordered a car riage from J. McI><iagaai,our enterpris- Srtgliveryman." Wnen.thehandsome carriage, with elaborate trappings and (prancing horses dnw'qro'far front of the ihotel Polly declared at the "finest turn out she had ever seen."' " Yes Sir-eo," [replied Uncle Josh. " the three S's. " Speed, Safety and Stylo' ia McDoug- isira coat of arms. So.youngfolkfl.when you want to taico a drive, either for business or pleasure igo to him for a rig every time." His wedding, party anq funeral equipments are unsurpassed.' It wat in this styMsh tumonLthat the rounds of the oi^J"were made. Uncle Josh ordered the driver to take thorn to the -afllo of A; E. Lovelace where a cosy cottage was bought, and "in the matter>of insurance," he con tinued, " thatis .of importance." You xrill want a risk on your new house,, and then you can't do a more sensible or satisfactory thing than to4give your wife a paid-up policy in life insurance. Our good friend Lovelace not only has lines of the .solidest and best com panies, but he is an expert and trust worthy underwriter. His companies all belong to the old reliable category, being prompt in .tho adjustment of losses. It's better to be safe than sorry and you'll surely too safe in the Love lace, agency. Should you ever desire to negotiate & loan, he is the man to see." "Having provided you with a cage for the bird,? said Uncle Josh, "now the first thing we'll look after will be tho furnishings for it." Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had hoard so mnoh -abput J, A. Hicks, thst she had decided to go there. The, result was that they were ushered into >suoh a bewildering display that the girl was at first at a loss how to select. But she soon yielded to the seductiveness of a magnificent parlor suite, that would do credit to old Antiquity him self. To this she added an'easy rooker for Uncle Josh, and didn't* forget a most convenient and ornamental writ ing desk for " Hubby "Charles. "A pretty good start."..said the old man, "and now we'll go to W. H. Rich ardson's bighardwaro and stove store. Hero Polly's houeowifel^iiistinctB-had full play in marvels of kitohen-appara-. tua.

"Lefssee goto watch, didn't I," queried Uncle Josh of Polly, "and E. L. Park's ia the place to get one cheap." Entering the pop ular jewelry store the old man gallant ly acquitted himself of the promise and then directed Jolly's attention to tho superior stock of silverware carried by the house. '-'There is no other such house in town," said the old man, "and I will guarantee the quality to be the very beat. Piuk out your family clock while here," he added. "Park carries a magnificent line. Don't forget an other fact," ho continued, "if over you unfortunately need optical goods, this is the place to come." , "Oh, say, Uncle," exclaimed Polly, "where oan I go for dry goods ? This dress is hardly suitable, X must admit*" "Well, my girl, if you want to select from one of the most popular establish ments in the city, I will direct you to M, J. Wigle& Co.'s who carry all the latest weaves in fashionable dress goods and you are sure to be guided right in your selections. Yoti will find Wigle & Co., pleasant to deal with and their employes polite and expert, while the prices cannot be duplicated. In a few minutes-Polly had selected a pretty dress and then her inquisitive eyes glanced over at the shoe depart ment. "Oh my goodness/' she exclaim ed, "what a prettv pair of slippers/1' "Yes indeed," knowingly replied Uncle Josh, "Wigle & Co-i keep a splendid stock of shoes, just look it over." It "Haiti" commanded Uncle Josh, as the party came in front of J. Thome's handsome drug store, "Walk right in." "Why Uncle, We're not sick, aud " "QuessI know that, but I auspeot it it won't be long before this young man begins to take an interest in matters of paregoric and " "U-n-c-1-e!" "Well,, eo in anyway, Polly may find some toilet articles she wants." Sure enough, before loaving she purchased combs, brushes, face powders and ounces upon ounces of fine imported perfumes and Charley got a bottle of Thome's Tonic and Congh Medicine. "Don't forget," added Uncle Josh, "to come here with your prescriptions, as Mr. Thorne is competent and uses pure and reliable drugs." Woman like, Polly was discussing the matter of how she would arrange her new house and was interrupted by Unole Josh. "And these house fixins remind me/' said he ' 'that you haven't got your dishes yet. The most famous stock in extent, quality and complete ness is at Wilkinson's. But the average reador need not be told what an array of tableware Polly had to select from. There isn't po itively, a' thing in the lino of china, crockery, glass or porce lain needed for use or ornament in any part of the house that oannOtbe found at Wilkinson's in definite variety and at wonderfully low' prices.
