At a p. m. Miss Bach and divers ot her friends appeared. Cokely won the 6r>t race; Stull the second. Cokely thought the girl was his. ior he was an . old hand at divine from the club-house. 1 Turning to kiss his hard to l.ulie. he lost his balance, dropped into the water, and was rescued by the heroic Stull, who thus won “event" ^ and 1-ulie..; “The wedding day was then set. and ; all who witnessed the contest were invited to hr present." Kentucky is the true lajd of* romance. Stull is a fine t fellow, and yet it is impossible not to ! sympathize with Daniel Cokely. Miss i Bach would have been Mrs. Cokely ii | .

“My mother was troubled with consumption for many yean. At last she was given up to die. Then she tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and was speedily cured.’’ - D. P. Jolly, Avocs, N. T.

No matter how hard your cough or how long you have had it, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is the best thing you can take. It’s too risky to wait until you havp consumption. If you are coughing today, get a bottle of Cherry Pectoral at once.
