“Vallandigham is just the man
And Pugh’s his right hand bower,”
son" Tommy Murphy as Abijofi passed
the Murphy gates.
“Shet ep!” snapped Abijak.
“Haia’t a-goiu to,” said Tommy and
went on with the song;
“To meet the abolition elan
We’re ready every hour.”
Abijak would have been glad to have
stopped and shut Tommy up, but be
didn’t dare. He was on liis way to pay
a call on Melissa Bray and was too
dressed up to take any violent exercise.
Abijali Hopkins was the beau of
Goshen and a rank abolitionist. He
went to Cincinnati almost every mofitli
and hence was an authority on fashion,
as his costume of that afternoon show
ed. He wore a long tailed blue coat,
made with full skirts, fitting closely in
the back. Under the coat was a flow
ered velvet waistcoat, fastened with
bulletlike pearl buttons. His dove col
ored trousers were skin tight, with a
black stripe up the side seam and held
down by 7 a strap passing under
foot His shirt was “store bought,”
and he wore a high paper collar and a
tie made of small colored beads woven
into a ribbon with infinite pains, the
work of Melissa, as was also the snaky
looking watch guard, manufactured
from her own hair. Abijali was proud
of the tie and the guard.
Personally lie was not handsome. It
might be said that liis hands were too
large and too red and too freckled and
hung, like Ichabod Crane’s, “a mile be
low bis coat sleeves.” His face was
red, too, a shade brighter than liis hair,
which was parted far to the left in front
and “roacked” toward the right in a
high, sweeping billow. In the back it
was parted in the middle and lpmshed
away from the medial line to either
side, where it met tlie front hair in
little duck tails just behind liis ears.
And liis whole head was redolent with
hair oil.
Abijali was a “stay at home ranger.”
He hadn’t enlisted and had escaped
the draft. Though lie was the only
young man left in Goshen, he was not
in demand by the girls, as might be
supposed. Few people bad any re
spect for “stay at home rangers,” and
when Melissa began to go to singing
school and spelling bees with Abijah
people began to lose respect for her
too. But Melissa knew what she was
about. She was one of those girls who
can’t exist without some one to flirt
with.
Abijah passed tlie Murphy gate with
anger in his heart. Nothing made him
so mad as to hear the Butternut
soug. lie hated Vallandigliam and all
his adherents, though Molly Murphy
was a nice girl. To tell the truth, he
was not sure which he liked best—Me
lissa, the abolitionist, or Molly, the
Butternut. He would have felt better
could he have thrashed Tommy, but be
knew better, both on account of bis
now clothes and on account of Molly.
He wasn’t going to give up bis chances
with the only other girl who would go
out with him.
Melissa expected him; he was expect
ed every Sunday afternoon, and she
was dressed in her best to receive him.
But it wouldn’t do to let him know.
There was a peculiar code of etiquette
existent in Goshen; so when he came
up the front steps she pretended to be
surprised.
“Why, Bijab,” she said, “I’m jest
that glad to see you! Won’t you set
down ?”
He sat down and put his hat on the
floor. Flo was awkwardly bashful.
It would be useless to reproduce their
conversation. It was about the weath
er and crops and politics. Abijah
avoided the subject of the war as he
had avoided the draft officers. As he
was about to leave Melissa said:
“Are you goin to the speakin to Mount
Repose next Tuesday?”
“I ’lowed to go,” said he. “Want to
go ’long?”
“If it don’t put you out none,” she
answered.
“You’d jest as well go as not. I’m
goin to take my buggy.”
“All right, Bijah,” she said; “I’ll be
ready.”
He put on bis hat and started down
the walk.
“You’ll have to fetch a lunch,” said
he as he reached the gate. “Ma’s sick,
and”—
“All right,” she called after him;
“I’ll fix it up.”
Mount Repose was six miles from
Goshen, on the Columbus pike, and on
Tuesday Brough, the abolition candi
date for governor, was to speak. Ev
erybody was going, and Abijah felt
proud to think that he would have a
girl along even if he hadn’t been to
the war and got wounded. He walked
with his head up till he reached the
Murphy gate. lie looked for Tommy,
but Tommy'had disappeared. Molly
was leaning over the gate, and Abijah
stopped to speak to her. She was con
siderate of his feelings and had put
away her badge made of the cross sec
tion of a butternut when she saw him
coming. All Butternuts wore badges
of that sort, and the abolitionists felt
it their duty to destroy all such em
blems of opposition.
“Evenin, Molly,” said Abijah, as he
halted at the gate.
“How are you, Bijah?” said she.
“Goin to the speakin Tuesday?”
“Yep,” said he, resting his foot on
the lower hinge and dusting his trou
sers with his cane.
“Who with?” she asked.
“I ’lowed to take Meliss,” said he.
“Why?”
“I wanted to go awfully,” she an
swered, frowning prettily.
“I’m sorry 1 liain’t got a carriage,”
said he, flushing a deeper red as he
thought of his next words. “But if
you don't mind, and Meliss don’t, you
can go in the buggy with us.”
“I don’t mind,” said Molly, not blush
ing in the least, “and I’ll ask Meliss.”
She hadn't forgotten the prevailing
fashion in feminine attire, but she
thought, by exercising proper care, two
could ride in a single buggy at a pineb.
Abijah was the only chance, and she
liked to flirt as much as Melissa.
“Never mind,” said the young man.
“I’ll ask Meliss myself.”
It would give him an excuse to call
again at both places, at the Brays’ to
get MelNfsa’s opinion and at the Mur
phys’ to tell Molly.
Molly agreed, and the next day (Mon
day) Abijah asked Melissa if she ob
jected to Molly’s company. Melissa
did not object to Molly as a girl, but
she did demur about riding with a But
ternut. However, Abijah said they
need not sit together at the speaking,
and that it did not matter much in the
buggy, and Melissa agreed and walked
down with him to see Molly about the
luncheon.
Molly promised to furnish her share
and to keep down her Butternut tend
encies, and everything went smoothly
except for Abijah. lie cursed his good
nature, which wouldn’t allow him to
refuse either or both. He could stand
one girl in the buggy beside him, but
two— "
After gearing up Tuesday morning
and grooming himself with more than
usual care he drove around for Molly
first.
She came down the steps as be stop
ped at tlie gate, and when he saw her
he cursed some more. She had on a
white lawn dress, the waist made some
thing like tlie shirt waist of the present
day, but with rows and rows of brass
buttons upon it, small ones on the
shoulders and down the sleeves and
larger ones in quadruple rank down
the front. Her hat was a little straw
affair, trimmed with illusion and fas-
tiie I tened at an impossible angle over her
forehead to leave room for the enor-
I mat put an end to hostilities. The
j scene can be imagined better than de-
“Why, Bijah ” she said, “I'm jest that
glad to see you!”
mous mass of bail—her own and an
other’s—in the back. Her hands were
incased in pink silk mitts, and she car
ried a green silk parasol. But it was
not the waist that caused Abijah to
curse nor was it the hat; it was the
skirt. It was full, very full, and was
kept distended by hoops whose pe
riphery was a dozen yards or more.
She had to come through the gate side
wise. Abijah turned his horse as far
to one side as possible to allow the
passage of tlie voluminous skirts, but
with all lie could do they touched both
wheels when Molly climbed in.
She sat down carefully—she had to—
and Abijah sat beside her, and togeth
er they drove off for Melissa.
Her costume was the same as Molly’s
in degree as well as kind, and when
the two girls sat on the single seat of
the buggy tlie vehicle seemed tilled
with skirts. Abijah saw no room for
himself and said so.
“You can set between us,” said Mol
ly, shoving into one corner, which caus
ed a dangerous elevation of hoops on
tlie other side.
He had some doubts about being able
to sit between them, but he could do no
more than try, and after much squeez
ing and exclamation they got very un
comfortably settled and drove off, the
hoops standing out over the wheels on
both sides and almost hiding the young
man in the middle.
There were a great many people at
Mount Repose. A few men dressed
like Abijah—boys most of them were;
lots of girls dressed like Molly and Me
lissa, and some men in army blue, pale
and maimed, home on furlough or dis
charge. The speaking was held in the
open air, with a stand for the speakers
and backless benches for tlie auditors.
The crowd made a tremendous noise
getting settled.
.The morning speakers were of little
note — candidates for county offices,
with merely a local reputation. In the
afternoon was to come the grand
speech, the heavy artillery of the cam
paign— Brough himself, candidate for
governor of the state of Ohio. Save
for the occasional collapse of a bench,
excitement was kept down for the aft
ernoon.
When the recess for dinner was an
nounced, tlie two girls spread out the
luncheon they had brought on a table
cloth on the ground. There were fried!
chicken, pickles, cold green corn boiled
on the cob and piled up like a log cab-!
in, two kinds of cake and four kinds of,
pie—apple, dried cherry, raspberry and 1
rhubarb. Melissa and Molly sat on ei
ther side of the cloth and had to reach:
way over to get past their skirts. Abi-|
jah sat at one end.
After the meal the girls bundled their
respective properties into their respec-i
tive baskets, and when they bad fin
ished it was time to get good seats for
the afternoon speech. True to bis prom
ise to Melissa, Abijah bad Molly sit in
front tff the abolitionistie young lady.
He sat by Melissa.
The speech was like all others of that
time—defamatory to the south, touch
ing heavily on the wrongs of slavery,
touching lightly on the rights of na
tions and winding up with a eulogy on
Abraham Lincoln; only this particular
speech ended differently.
Molly had shown no dangerous But
ternut symptoms during the day. In
fact, she had applauded feebly at times,
but when Mr. Brough called the whole
race of Butternuts cowards and thieves
she could stand it no longer. She put
on her Butternut badge, a declaration
of war then, and turned so Melissa
could sea it. Then did Melissa’s in
stinct for destruction of all things But-
ternutty assert itself, and, in the words
of old Mr. Meyer, a German by birth,
who saw it all, “she grap for dot
padge.”
But she didn’t get it. Molly leaped
to her feet as quickly as her skirts
would allow her to resent the insult,
and, raising her green silk parasol,
smote Melissa on her chignon of arti
ficial hair, thereby breaking the weap
on. Then Melissa tried to slap her ad
versary, and in dodging Molly went
backward over the bench behind her.
scribed. Abijali turned away, and Mrs.
| Meyer assisted-) lie prostrate girl to her
feet and declared an armistice. But
the speech went on unheard. Every
body was laughing too much to listen;
everybody except Abijah. He didn’t
laugh; he was loo worried.
“I’m a dumb fool.” said he to liis
aunt Maria when tlie girls had gone to
separate houses to repair damages.
“I'm a dumb fool to take a Butternut
and an abolitionist out together. Dumb
ed if I know which to take home.”
“Take Meliss,” said Mrs. Maria.
“Course I'd ruther take Meliss,”
Abijah answered. “But I can’t well
git outen takiu Molly. And I dursen’t
take ’em both.”
“Won't Will Ilanson take Molly?”
suggested liis aunt. “He used to spark
her.”
“They've fell out.” he complained.
“Well, there's Ben. He come alone,
and he can’t drive good with a bullet
in liis arm. Let him take one of ’em.”
“He won’t have Molly, and Meliss
won’t go with him if he is an abolition
ist anil got wounded. She said so.
Mcbbe lie would take Molly, though.”
“All right. Y'ou ask him,” said Mrs.
Maria. “Now, look here, Bijab Hop
kins. 1 want you to talk to Meliss
’bout the way she acted. ’Twan’t lady
like.”
“Don’t care,” said be. “Molly hadn’t
ougliter hit her with that umbrell’.”
“Y'ou talk to her, anyway. Pa's call-
in me. I got to go.”
Abijah’s mind was full of very seri
ous thoughts as he backed the pony be
tween the shafts. He guessed he had
better talk to Melissa, but lie would
have to be careful bow lie talked. She
was dangerous. On the whole,.be be
lieved he liked Molly best. She was
more quiet, and then the pie she had
made beat Melissa’s all hollow.
Just as ho fastened the last buckle
he saw Melissa Bray coming toward
him in a borrowed hat. and he turned
to hear what she had to say.
“I jest wanted to tell you, Bijah,”
said she, “that I wouldn’t trouble you
to see me home.”
“Who’re you goin with?” be asked.
“Ben’s goin to take me,” she said.
“He come alone.”
Abijah said nothing, but after she
bad gone and climbed in beside Ben he
thought some more and shook his head
over' his thoughts. Melissa had done
just what she said she wouldn’t do,
and fie would have Molly to sit with
him in tlie buggy. If he wasn’t a But
ternut, why, then—
“I’ll do it,” ho muttered as she came
out and got in with him.
She gave him just the sweetest sort
of smile and never mentioned the af
fair until he spoke first. But they had
gone some way before he spoke at all,
and it was not until they had passed
the first tollgate that lie found liis
voice.
“Y’ou hadn’t ougliter done that way,
Molly,” said he. “ ’Twasn’t nice.”
“She hadn't no business tryin to take
my badge,” said Molly.
“Mebbe not,” said lie, “but you
hadn't oughter hit her with the um
brell’.”
“I’m sorry I done it, Bijah,” she an
swered, looking ruefully at the demol
ished parasol. “But she tried to hit
me afterward.”
“I know she did”—he blushed at the
thought of the scene—“and I’ll tell her
so.”
“I liain’t never goin to speak to her
again,” said Molly determinedly.
“Y’ou won’t even say you’re sorry?”
“No. 1 won’t. But I'll tell you, Bi
jah,” she said, looking iuto his face.
Abijah didn’t know what to say, so
he kept quiet until they were almost
within sight of home. Then he decided
it was time to speak.
“I wisht you wan’t a Butternut, Mol
ly,” he said.
She looked at him again and began
to sing softly:
“I had a dream the other night
When all ivas clear and still;
I dreamt 1 saw Vallandigliam
Go sliding down a hill.”
An abolitionist song, and Abijah was
beginning to understand.
“Then you’ve changed your mind?”
he asked.
“Mebbe,” said she so low he could
scarcely hear her. “Have you changed
yours?”
"About what?”
“About Meliss. Do you like her like
you used to?”
“Molly,” said he, ignoring her ques
tion, “you and me’s been knowin each
other a long time. I know I ain’t hand
some, but if you’ll”— "
“Course I will, Bijah,” she whisper
ed, leaning close to him.
And the Butternut had scored one.

Healthy Mothers
Few mothers are healthy, because I
their duties arc so exacting. The anxiety
of pregnancy, the shock of childbirth,
and the care of ycung children, are
severe trials on any woman. But with
Wine of Cardui within her grasp, every
mother—every woman in the land—can
pay the debt of personal health she
owes her loved ones. Do you want
robust health with all its privileges and
pleasures? Wine of Cardui will give it
to you.
Mil
strengthens the female organs and invig
orates weakened functions. For every
female ill or weakness it is the best
medicine made. Ask your druggist for
$1.00 bottle Wine of Cardui, and take no

Mrs. Edwin Crass, Gormer, Mich.! "When I

to walk across the house. Two weeks after I walked
half a mile and picked strawberries. When my

no milk. After using the Wine during pregnancy
this time, 1 gave birth last month to a baby girl, and
was in labor only two hours, with but little pain,
