One bright September morning, a small, very neat old lady might,- have been seen bt eily engaged in looking the outer door of a house in the somewhat retired village of Bilbury. The house, small and neat, like ita mistrese, looked primly forth across a ti y door -yard, gay with such hardy and b illiant blooms as had refused to yield to in ipient frosts. On the steps sat a big, g y oat, the elite in his cold, green eyes di ated, even beyond their early morning w nt, with evident wonder and dismay. Ctearly that, door had not beep looked from We outside within the utmost stretch of his memory. What could it mean? That it meant something serious was evi- ' d t, for, when his Mistress turned from h rathe protracted wrestle with the door, he sweet puckered old face expressed a mixture o anticipation and regret, slightly tinged wi h timid awe, but, withal, domin- ated by a evident determination to carry her point, whatever it might be, which must ha,ve etru k any bystander capable of being *used or touched. Big Tom was capable of neither ; he could only disapprove. So e people and some cats are very much ali e. 'he old lady felt her pet's ' mental atta tu e, as evidenced by his bodily one.

One dark night during the siege of Santiago Harbor a Spanish Torpedo boat darte mit under cover of darkness to launch its' deadly missile against an Amer- ican war essel. If she had been struck she would have gone to the bottom. What saved her Was it her big ta-inch guns ? No, it wa her search -light: the dazzling white bea of light that shot straight out like a swo d -thrust through the darkness, revealed t e approaching danger. What is it that saves thousands of men from deat every day in the year when the deadly foe of disease is creeping unsus- pected up n them ? at is the white of science ; the educated undefistandin that reve ls the source of danger an indicates t1 e exact point of attack, While th ordinary doctor gropes around, with the -f eble tallow -candle light of ste- reotyped, onventional, routine' treatment, a physicia like Dr, R. V, Pierce, of Buf- falo, N. Y4, instantly illuminates the sub- 'ect with t e clear day -light ray pf practical nowledge.; the irresistible search -light of. advanced nd life-sustaining science. I was a Icted for four years," says John F. Zingeheim, ., of No. 9 Lark St., Ameterdam, Y. in a earnest letter to Dr. Pierce.

And graspi g the saechel tightly, as though to stay h rs 1 upon the contact with some- thing the. a outlasted change, she looked up, with etermined air, into the strange, eager faces f twenty clamorous haok men. One of the slipped out from behind the bar and too the satchel from her hand. " You wa t_to go somewheres, don't you, mum ? Wh re do you want to go ?" " Be you he ste,ge-driver ?" she queried innocently. The man's eyes twinkled, but he answered, gravely enough : " Well, yes, I drive a ki d of a stege. Whereabouts did you want to go ?'' " Is -is t e Astor House stan'in' yet ?" She looke wistfully and beseechingly up at hire, as if mutely beseeching him not to say ne. Th 'man, without clearly under- standi g wh ; was touched, or, as be put it to hi self, f It "all kind of queer like.

The e wer tears of relief ,in the anxious eyes a she nk back upon the soft cushions of the 'arta e. Now that the strain of In- certai ty wa over she felt strangely weak, She s. arcel stirred during all the long drive down town. Even her eyes grew tired o mite ing the endless rows of build- ings a d the seething crowd of facet) that hemmed her " on every side. " It' no use " she thought at last, clos- ing them wea i'ly, "It's all tetrible strange. Everyt ing's iffer'nt, an' I don't seem to care fo 'em w Isick ain't here."
