There is more Catarrh in this sec
tlon of the country than all other ills
eases put together, and uni.il the
last tew years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stautly falling to cure with local treat
ment. pronounced it incurable. Scienc
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucous

one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

Billy ? nil Fan were two New ^
waifs. Blllv was about nine and Fan
was about seven, though there was no
record of the birth of either and no
parents about to testify In the cases. |
What had become of their fathers ant
mothers does not pertain to the story.
Billy remembered that once when he
was put Into the public schools for a
few months he was known as William
Burke. Fan had a spelling book In
which was written Fanny Shaw.
Billy and Fan met one hot summer
nluht in City llall park, where each
bad gone for the purpose of sleep
in- on the benches. Billy had a
nickel in his pocket, and Fan was
ervlng because she was hungry. Biilj
took her over to a vender of waflies
on Park row and appeased her hunger.
This was the seed of love? a kindness.
It was not planted in * gentleman*
garden, but any soil to produce fruit
requires manure.
So it came about that Billy and Ian
became churns. There were societies
organized to take care of stray chil
dren. and Billy and Fan were dread
full v afraid that some of these socle
ties' would take them and separate
theui. Billy confided his fears to his
friend. MacCluney. who drove a cab.
MacClunev facetiously told him that
to prevent this they had better get
married. Billy took the advice in ear
nest and asked how the knot could be
tied.
"Ol'm a Scautchnian lnescl , rcplieu
the cabman. "In Scautland if two peo
ple stand up before a third and sajs
thev marries, that ties 'em."
"S'pose Fan and I stand up before
von and say that?' said ^llly.
The cabman laughed, and Billy ^ent
off and called Fan. who was selling
papers at the time. The two returned |
and asked for a "Scautch" marr age.
MacCluney. thinking It a pood Joke,
asked the necessary questions and. ;
bavins received atllrniatory answers,
with a guffaw pronounced them man |
and wife. ?
But the "Scautch" marriage didn
save them from the societies. One,
nl-ht when they were sleeping In
coal vard a band of slummers came
down on them and carried them off.
They protested that they "ere mar
riod. which brought a smile to the
(??ices of their abductors, but receded

was continually dreaminR of ^hat he

But Fan grew to be twenty-four j
years old. and there was no sipn of j
Billy. She lsail several proposals of
marriage, l>ut answered all suitors \
alike? that she was married already, j
One of them asked a lawyer if there j
was anything i:i such a marriage. He j
received the reply that only the courts
could toll, but so long as neither claim
ed the other there would be nothing
illegal in either marrying some one
else.
One day a man drove up to Fan's
home in a b tippy and asked for a
young woman named Frances Shaw.
Fan was sweeping at the time, with a
towel over hei hair. She tried to get
upstairs, but was too late. The man
approached her and said:
"Fan!"
"Are you Billy?"
"Yes."
"How did you know me?"
"I wouldn't have known you If I
hadn't known you were here. As It

Billy had bought a farm, and as
soon as settled upon it he had written
to New York asking information as to
where Fan had been sent. The rec
ords of the society that had provided
her with a home showed where that
home was, and since Fan had remain
ed In it there was 110 trouble In find
ing her.
There was a new, but very short,
courtship and a new marriage, just to
be sure that they were legally mar
ried. and ltilly and Fan settled them
selves on his farm.
The story shows that, however high
or low we arc in the sphere of created
beings, there is one motive power in
us all, spiritually as well as physically
?the human heart.
