A REVELATION.
•" I4 is soothing to so imperfect a fello as
myself to find out a!Mkt weakness—a t nge
of vaiiity in such an admirable ' human ' as
your are !I don't doubt Winton, like any
another, would have fallen to your sp ar ;
but, you see, he was Mrs. L'Estra ge's
loverlin by -gone ages —when ,they were boy
and -girl, and after—I know all about it. I
fancy Winton, when he first came home
from India, was not too. anxious to ake
Hele Laudell back with him, 1 reme iber
her, .sad -eyed,, titnid creature, under the

woul be a comfortable settlement for her
and er little girl, for they laro, 1 thnk,

At the end. of this long speech, du ing
whioi Marsden watched his compan'on's
face, Nora was quite prepared to reply. ,
" f they are fond •of each other, I gall
be very •pleased. " Helen has been 'a real_
inoth,er to me, and 1 like Mr. Winton im.
mensely. You don't know what a hard -lifa-
He1ei has had. . If Mr. Winton will be ind
and nake her happy—and now you ave
open d my eyes, I think he is fond of he —1
shall be glad. But, as to her dependenc on
me, 'f I die before I ern twenty-one of
cour e all I poesess will go to Beatrice, and
as s on as ever I am of age I will settle half
my ortune on Helen, to go -to -Bea fter
her.' • _

Expeticnce ot Value to Others.
From the Enterpriee, Baidgewater, N. 8,
Mr. C. E. • Johneon is about 23 years old, e
a gold miner by occupation, is well known -
about the mining camps in these parts, and ..
is thoroughly posted in his business. MA
long since Mr. Johnson chanced to be ire
Porter's drug store, in Bridgewater, when
case of Dr.- Williams' Pink Pills waa bemge
opened, aod he remarked to the elerk ; "
saw the tithe when a dozen boxes of those
pills were of more value to me than the e •
best gold mine in the county)." A reporter
of the Enterpise happened to hear Mr. a
Johnson's rather startling remark, and alike . .-
ed him why he spoke so highly of the pilla.
Mr. ;Johnson's etatement was an follows : -
"About Mur yeare ago I was attacked with e '
la grippe, • which kept me from work for 7' •
about three weeks. I did not have it very
bad apparently, but it lefe me weak all the
same. Aeybow, after losing three weeks I.
concluded!to go to work a,gein. The mine 1
Was working In was making a good deal of
water, and I got wet the first day. That
night the Old trimble came back, with the
addition of a severe cold. I managed to get
rid of the cold, but the - whole force of the
• disease settled in my stomach, kidneys and
joints, and boils broke out on my body and
limbs. My back was so weak I could scam-
ly stand alone, while foodin every forms:lie.
tressed me, and I became so _nervous that
any unusual noise would overcome me. I
tried seveeal sorts of medicines, but none
seemed to do any good. 1 next went to IS
dootor. His medicine helped me at firat,
but after a short time lost its effect. He
then changed the medicine, but -with no bet-
ter result. About this time a clergyman,
who called at the bowie advised inc to try
Dr. Williems' Pink Pelle. I got a box and
used them;but tleo did not materially bene—
fit me. I:bad now been some weeks idle,.
and was feeling desperate, A friend strong.
ly advised me to go to a hospital for treat-
ment, and, I had pet about decided to do,
to, when an acquaintance, learning I had
taken but ;one box of , the pills, suggested,
that I shoiald try three bexes more before
-
giving thepi up. The Matter of money de-
cided me n trying the pills again. I got,
three box s, and when used I was quite st,-
bit impro ed. Could , eat light nutritious •
food, ale t better, and" felt noticeably
stronger. But I was earl an unwell 11111114
As the pi is were doing a good work, how.
ever, I Sent for eight more boxes. I
continued!, using them till all were gone,
when I felt that I was reetored to health.
All my stemach trouble had disappeared, L
was fully as fleshy as before the first attack
of in grippe, my nerves were solid as ever,
and I knew that Work would give strength -
to my mutcles. So, after about six months,
I went to work again, and have not had ae
sick day since. One dozen boxes of Dr.
Williams'iPink Pills saved my life and gave -
me better,health since than I ever had be-
fore, and that is why I -said they are worth
-
more to me than any gold mine for all that
a man hare he will give for his life."
