THE TREASURE CASK OF
SOLYAtION THE MAGNIF.
ICENT.
BY SAMUEL REtDMAN,
CHAPTER I.
The first time Inew Mlle. Marie la Reim
was as she stood at the high landing of the
great blue satined staircase. She was all
ablaze in a great house robe of scarlet, a
warm, glowing, brilliant sight.
Now Marie la Reim saw me at the same
time, and gave me a fitful little cry. Then
came a light tripping of a .pair of slippered
feet down those steps—the brilliant red of
her gown in -relief against the pale blue
sheen of the satiny covering of the stairway
--and she stood beside mei
When she had entered by the great double
doors I inuat have looked at her in wonder-
ment, for a deep flush overspread her fere-
tures.
" You are not to move," she said.
Now, Jean l'Esparre—my name—captain
to his grace the Duke of Guise, a sword, -
man, a rider, and a shot, took his orders
but from a superior—andspromptly obeyed.
Soon, too, a conviction came that I could
not have moved bad I chosen ; I was one
continuous jointure of splints and boards
and bandage.,
" You have been wounded," Marie la
Reim said eoftly, and it was a timely ex-
planatiou, for, in a feeble way, I wondered
how I had come there, and how that beauti-
ful woman whom I had never seen before
came to be standing at my side.
. " I had you brought here," continued .
Marie la, Reim. " You were out down al-
most before my door."
Then I remembered it well.
Our great Francie of Lorraine, Duke of
Guise, repreeentinen- his majesty, our web
beloved Hew, had .for eight weeks been
besieged in my native town of Metz, where
I and my brother Raoul held the post of
officers. On the plains of Lorraine before
us lay the great army of 'the Emperor
Charles, and in the village of Thionville was
Charles himself, confined by an attack of
the gout.
And so for eight weeks we had held the
emporer and his Duke of Alva and his Mar-
quis of Marignano before use keeping for our
Henry his hard gained town- of Metz, the
key to the frontier of Champagne.
But now the attention of both our Guise
and of the emperor was directed towerds
Albert of Brandenburg, who with twenty
thousand men, fluctuated as to whose cause
he would join ; indeed', upon his decision, it
seemed, lay the war'e result,
But with all the uncertainty nal uralto
man swayed by no principal, but allured
different ways by 3ontrary views of interest,
A:bert of Brandenhurg treated with both.
The emperor scrupled at no promise, but
Guise, knowing his rapacity, decided upon a
big coup which he felt could not but draw
Albert to our 6 d e. He arrauged with the
Sultan Solymon, whom you know so web
from his being termed " the magnificent,"
to dispose to him of a great casket of gold
and jewels. le was sent by Selymon through
his grand vizier to the town 'of Verdon, and
I, at the head of a small troop, had gone to
meet the envoy and eschrt the treasure with-
in our lines.
It was while 1 was returning with, this
pricelees thing that I and my men were
overpowered and placed in the prison of
Thionville. I made my iescape by donning
the uniform of an imperialist, but within
sight of my native town of Metz was dis-
cOvered, cut down, -and left for dead on the
roadway. And then madaemoiselle nursed
me back to life.
The treasure casket had not been paid for,
as our Henry's finances were in bad condi-
tion, and Guise expected in place to divide
with Selyrnon some of the plunder which,
with the aid of Albert of Brandenburgh, he
expected to secure.
Now, its capture placed ciur Guise in an
awkward position. He had a liability to
meet without an advantage to gain, and I
myself saw where it might make complicit -
tions between the sultan and the Emperor
Charles. Solymon might demand it' in re-
turn from tbe emperor., who, having con -
eluded a treaty of peace with him (on ace
count of the recent war io Hungary, in
which the emperor had been worsted by the
magnificent Solymon), might again be led
into 'an embroilment should he refuse to
surrender the casket..
The voice of mademoiselle brought me
back to earth.
" You have been here two weeks," ehe
said, " but you have been a good patient ;"
and she gave me a ptrt " You are
out of danger now and—well, I think yOu
had better go to sleep."
• She placed a pillow as soft as the folds of
her gown about my head, turned my face so
that it was away from her—a cruel thing—
and geve me a great splotch pattern df gobe-
lin work against the wall to look at. . I
examined itelosely, intently, and earnertly,
and then ungallantly fell asleep.
CHAPTER II.
The's was the first time I had ever een
Mlle. la Reim. Not many days after that,
I was sitting up, my attention divided I be-
tween the fresh green and the chirpiug inde
of the perk outeide, and watching the lue
staircase through the wide open for ing
doors for mademoiselle.
Mademohselle soon came and, sat be ide
me.
" You are getting much better," she s id
" and you can soon rejoin the emperor, He
is still at Taionville."
r remember n.ow the tones of made or-
selle as she spoke ; rich and full and c ear
from the heart.. But the words made me
start, for she mentioned the place in w ich
I had been held a prisoner.
" It was great and good of you, ma e-
moiselle," I said, " to take a woun ed
soldier into your beautiful home and g-ve
him the priceless care of your presence to
nurse him back to life. It was great nd
good of you."
And in that way 'I asked in -my o n
manner the motive mademoiselle had in
saving my worthless life, for I was not as
Pierre Lechette, of the Due d'Aumaleni
bronze dragoon ; for he would have
thought it was because of love, for hiin.
And in this way I found mademoisell 's
motine, for she said ;
" I saved you becauee we need all t
men possible to fight for us. Yea, e
cannot s find to lose one."
.
She Etlia this with a great burst of
h
" Then, you are--" I said.
" An imperialist, like yourself," said
mademoiselle, and I sank back, for I was no
servitor of the Emperor Charles, but a
follower of the fortunes of the French son of
Francis. Mademoiselle's mistake had oc-
curred through the imperialist garb I we+
when she found me, and which I had used
as a disguise.
And I bowed my head, not knowing heeiv
I should tell niademoiselle the truth.

. .
Suddenly she gave a little ory and clasped
her hande.
" Here comes the Marquie of Marigno
himself," she said. -
There, along the gravel walk, came the
marquis at, thehead of six men. It was a
uniform of hie troopthat I had worn, and
mademoiselle knew it. In her eyes, there-
fore, 'I was -clearly one of hie men.
" He will be glen to know that you were
not killed," said mademoiselle.
There was no time to lose. I made my
resolve quickly.
" Menemoiselle," I said, as quietly as I
could, " I am not an imperialist ; I am a
King Henry's mate"
Ma,demoiselle gave, oh, ouch a sudden,
fearful start of eurprise !
" I wore this euit as I was a prisoner, and
with it I hoped to escape through the ranke.
That is how it was, mademoiselle."
I thought at first that mademoiselle
would faint, she appeared so white, so weak
and pained. For a moment she stood so,
then she bit her lip tilt the blood ran, and
gave me a terrible look, and I felt as any
criminal might feel, for I eaw the look of
confidenoe, of hope, of pride, die out of her
eyes. -
Before either of us could speak, there wae
the platter of ,,the knocker without. Made-
moiselle ran- out, and I soon heard her and
the marquie in a long, and it seemed to me,
very earneet and excited conversation.
Then she -and the marquis joined the men in
waiting, and for the firet time I saw that
they carried a thing hidden from my sight.
They entered a remote way of the house
and N ere lost to view. After interminable
waiting, I saw the marquis returning at the
head of - his men. Their feet crunched
strange melodies upon the gravel walk, but
it was a pleasing sound, for it indicated
their moving away from the chateau of Mbe.
la Reim.
" Yet, if I mistook not, as they passed by
the window near where I sat, even in the
distance, the Marquis of Marignano threw
in my direction a searching, withering
glance.
* *
Mademoiselle came no mcee to see me af-
ter that, and I felt it wrong to partake of
her home knowing the things I knew. One
day I asked for her. She came. Her face
was pale. She wail not as she had been the
day o before.
" Mlle la Reim," I said, " it would be
unfair fersme to trouble you longer. I am
strong enough to meet the caprices of the
future."
Maderneiselle simply nodded her head.
When I spoke neoct there were tears in my
eyes.
" I do not think, rnademoiaelle, that your
kind heart would have permitted you to do
differently, even had I worn my honest
garb ; so I do not feel that I came to your,
house in an untitire way. But, mademoiselle
it ina life that I owe you, and I pray that
God may some day give me the opportunity
to repay you. That ie my wish, mademois.
audemoieelle looked at me with those
wondrous soft eyea of hers, as she 'said
gently :
" Yes, I would not let any man die at
my door, if it lay in rny power to save him."
" I was a prieoner, mademois.elle," I said
then, " and I will not make you untrue to
your king by setting free one of his enemies."
Mademoiselle started at that word, but it
behooved me to say it. " I will again re-
turn to Thionville a prisoner," I resumed. s
"Nay," said mademoiselle. Ain how
sweet sounded her voice ! " That muet not
be. You may ride into Met z, monsieur, by
way of the Rhine suburb. There will be no
one to see you to -night, I think ; I will send
a servant to accompany you."
I stooped and kissed mademoiselle'e hand,
which she meekly gave to me, and I think
I moistened it with a tear.
And then, with 'the beauteous viaion of
her aseihe stood tbere at parting, I went to-
ward Met z by way of the Rhine suburb.
APTER III.
It had grown late when I reached the St-
Arnulph gate, the Rhine outpost of our be-
leaguered town. By the oentry stood au
officer—my brother, Captain Raoul l'Es-
quarre, of the duke's personal staff.
A few moments afterwarde I was in our
home.
" Rest here," said Raoul, seeing my con-
dition. " To -morrow you may tell of your
returnnbut not till then ; for you are more
of a hatf-dead thing then a living one."
When I awoke it wee late in the evening
of the next day. Raoul was by my bedside,
dusty and disheveled.
" We have made a sortie," he said, in
explanation of his appearance, " and it may
mean the return of the treasure casket of
Solymon's which was seized from you. We
have captured the women to whom it was

Raoul paced the floor.
I might have had it by this titre,"
he complained, "if she would only have
told."
And Raoul again paceel the floor.
" By heavens !" he eried suddenly, " I
never felt what it was ti I now to be a °old-
ier. Here am I leading a woman to tortere,
perhaps to death, for th duke is mad to re-
gain the treasure, and e swears she will
die before she will revea the thing."
And Raoul again pace the floor.
" She is as beautiful a d frail a thiog as_
God ever made," he aim , t groaned.
Where is she ?" I asked.
" She swooned as I led her past the door,
and our mother is nursing her below. W
she recovers I must lead her before

" If she does not tell of the thin

ent below quietly, leaning on
brother's arm. We softly opened the p
door, and there I saw my brother Ra
prisoner. It was Mlle. la Reim.
She was very pale, was Mlle. la Reim
was not many F ours since I had seen
but there had now grown a look of terr
her eyes that struck me to the soul.
My mother was sitting by her side so
ing out her hair and snoisening her
head, and was saying to Mlle. la Reim :
. " My dear, my dear, if you but knew
devperately eager the duke _ is, you w

shall rest safe."
., I drew my brother into a room olose

the things that lay bursting in my heart,
my voice was low and suppreseed.
" A few hours back," I said, " I pra
to God that I could eome time save this
man's life, even as she had- savea mine,
it shall be so."
" What mean you ?" cried Raoul.
" I mean that you must take her bac
the outskirts and place her on the wa
the Rhine enburbs to her home."
"You are mad !" cried Raoul. " Think
you I am the king, that can release and set
free ? I must lead the woman to theeduke."
" To the duke I To the tortures ! Nay,
you shall not. It is a life I owe to madem•
oiselle, and no harm shill come to her
while there is aught of life in me."
My brother moved quickly, as if to give
an order to his men without ; as quickly I
stopped him and seized his hand.
_
" Raoul," I said, " you and I have been
playmates, children and men, side by side.
We thought therewas _nothing greater than
our love, no tie stronger than ours ; but I
tell you now that one of us must die before
she crosses the threshold a prisoner."
He saw the look in my eyes, and he ante
wered with one in his own.
" Yon are mad," he said. " You have
forgotten your duty and your allegiance to
tlin kytnege:::
I oried ; " I forget all but the
. ,
woman, so come you, brother, since you feel
duty so hard "—and I touched my sword—
" let it 'be a bargain; my death,mademoiselle
a prisoner ; my victory, her release," I
" And what would you do should you
strike me dead ?" ,
"I would forge your name to an order
sending your men away, and take Mlle. la
Reim back to her home."
I had drawn my sword and my brother
had drawn his own, but in that moment he
suddenly threw it to the further corner of
the room, etanding before ma defenseless.
" Indeed, thou art mad," he said, survey-
ing me earnestly.
Yet still I stood there so,facing my broth-
er, sword in hand, praying, yea, with all
my heart for some miracle to happen toand
it RaialOul paced the floor, then retured and
looked me over as - at some poor, fevered,
sicklieh thing. When he spoke his voice had
a. kindly ring to it.
" You say it was she who saved you from
being a prisoner—she gave you your free-
dom ?"
" Yes," I cried.
" And does that lie on yoUr conscience—
the feeling that you must repay ? Then lis-
ten ; if you were again &prisoner of Charles,
things would again be as they were before --
before she saved you."
Raoul paced the floor.
" Then, go," he said, returning te me.
" Go again to the emperor. Place yourself
as you were and would have been but for
her interference—a prisoner in the prison of
Tbionville—if to 4 that will ease your con-
science and calls you to feel that
thing's had ever been otherwise. I
is
-you are doing aught to forget that
have not yet made a report, and
none will know of nour return here. Go, I
will kelp you to escape—to be a prisoner
again. Yes, in that much will I forget my
duty." I
He held out his filand, and his voiee had
all the tender solicitude of a man for a child
that had gone mad
At that moment [a quick thought came
to me, and in it I telt that I had perhaps
I
-solved the riddle of securing mademoiselle's
release ; but I did riot tell Raoul of it, nor
Iet my emotions betray me. I held out my
hand to him and sedd :
" Yes, I will go as you suggest."
Raoul smiled and, heaved a sigh, but:Tenho
knew not of the thing I had resolved cm,
thinking only that he had pleased the whim
of a inan gone med.!
Together we went to the parlor and again
noiselessly opened the door.
" My dear, my dear," our soft hearted
mother was pleading, and I remember there
were deep tears in her voice, remember
that Guise knows no sex in this thing, and
suffer you must to the utmost till he wrings
the secret from you."
Then Mlle. la Reim stood up straight in
all her beauty and grace, and there was no
more pallor in her face as she taid :
" Let him wring me, body and soul, but
he shall not wring the secret from me."
It was then that I walked to -the center of
the room and said simply and quietly :
" Mlle la Reim."
Oh, it was a great thing to hear the sud-
den quick cry she gave ; it was a great thing
to see the quick, fierce red. that overspread
her face and I remember now the great
happy beat my heart gave at the note of it.
' Mademoiselle," 1 said quiekly, no in-
jury shall come to you. I go now to your
emperor, and depend upon it I shall soon re-
turn, and so shall you to your own oountry,
unharmed." :

it Wei some time before I was brought be --
fore the Marquis of Mariguano.
" Thunder and lightning !" swore the
irascible marquis when he eaw me. " I
thought you were back with your own peo-
ple."
This staggered me.
" How did you know I was not dead ?" I
inked.
" How did I know ? Furies ? Think you
I am a follower of Guise that I know not
things ? How did I know ? I knew it the
day I called at Mlle. la Reim's. I came to
bring you back, monsieur, but she pleaded
for your life, and I gave it to her—for a con-
sideration."
L.ke a flesh a thought came to me.
And was that consideration 1-nr keeping
hidden the treasure, casket Solymon ?" I
asked.
It was the marquishs turn to stagger,
" How did -Yon know that ?" he gasped.
" Think you," I said, " that I am a. fol-
lower of the Marquis of Marigoano that I
know not things ? ' Yes, though I uttered
light word; tears came to my eyes, and I
saw that I had done a fair and good thing
in opming, as it was on my account, to pur-
chase my freedom, that mademoiselle had
consented to take the precious casket In
custody.
Ir a moment I had told him everything.
" And I came, marquie," I said, " to save
her from the torture."
" Torture ?" cried Marignano.
" Even so, marquis," I eaid. " Guise
will wring for her through the hoot, the
wheel or the pincerenthe secret of where the
great box lies. She has given you her word
not to reveal the location of the treasure,
and without your consent she will never
tell."
" Devils rieried the marquis. " Wby is
he so anxious for the bauble ?"
" He thinks that, with it as a gift he may
win over Albert of Brandenburg," I said. -
The marquis gave a perfect scream Of
laughter.
The fool The dolt !" he cried. "Does
he not know that Albert has been our ally
these three days liack, and that Aurnale,
your duke's own brother, and his hundred
men, whom your Guise sent to treat with
Albert, are prisoners here—aye prisoners
brought here by Albert himself" when he
decided te join the emperor's army ? But
as to the casket, only mademoiselle knows
where it is. I intrusted it to her so as to
be sure of a safe hiding place, for we were
in fear of an attaok. She hid it herself, and
has not told me where it ie. But even had
we it, I could not exchange it, for it is now
the property of Albert of Brandenburg, to
whom it has been promised."
Even as we spoke a message was brought
hurredly to the marquis, It read as fol-
lows ;
To His Grace, the Marquis et Marignano,
Commander in chief of the forces of His
Majesty, Charles V. :
There has been captured a woman named
Mlle. Marie la Reim who, I have every
reason to believe, b'as the sole knowledge
as to the hiding place of the treasute casket
of the Sultan Solymon. Unless by return of
messenger you send to me this cask, or give
her instructions to tell its whereabouts she
will at once suffer by the rack and the 'heat-
ed iron till we wring the confession from
her.
FRANCIS OF LORRAINE,
Duke of Guise
Commander of the forces ef His ;de-
jesty, Henry II., in Metz.
There was now no doubt as to G-uise's
intentions. M.ademoieelle was to suffer, and
Marignano's hands were tied. The emper-
or, he knew, valued the cathet more than a
hundred mademoiselles, and would not con-
sent to its return.
I had faced many battle:is but at that
moment paled as I nevee had before. I
fancied seeing mademoieelle led to torture
and hearing her shrieks of pain while I
Cinuld but rail lied writhe in impolency. If
this was to be saved, it muet be done on the
in; tent.
The marquis, too, in those moment;
ruffered for mademoiselle.
" If we but h d
a sonie woman of Metz
here," he said, " to threaten CO torture ae
he promises be will mademoiselle, that
might deter him, but we have not such a
one."
• His words awoke in me an instant leap of
• " We have something better—we have a
man !" I cried with sudden joy, as I now
saw a way to assiet mademoiselle.
" What mean you ?"
" This—I am a native of Metz. Place me
in sight of the people. Erect there the
tortures. Tell them that their countryman
willauffer before their eyes till Guise prom-
ises to free mademoiselle from the tortures
and consents to her exchange It may not
save mademoiselle. It may kill me. But
pethape my people may think a man of
Metz of as much value as a woman of Lom-
bardy ; perhaps they may not wish to see
their eountryman suffer—and perhaps they
might not care at all, but that is the risk
we must take, your grace—that is the risk.
See, Marquis, I myself will dictate the let-
ter to the duke."
With the aid of the marquis' secretary,
this is the letter we formed and eent to
Guise : 1
" For some two months paet there has
been in the prison in Thionville an officer of
your staff and a native of the town of Metz,
Jean Ileparre by name, who, I underetand,
ranks high in your eetimation as a gentle-
-man and ewordeman. This man I will ex-
change for the person of Mlle. la Reim.
But if, in accordance with your message
just received, you contemplate wringing
7
from mademoiselle, by force of t rture,
knowledge of the whereabouts of th tree-
ure cathet, this I declare to you :
I hold as personal hostage the body of
your captain. On the walls of the 4huroh
of Sc. Anne, close to the walls of your town,
I will place a scaffold, with all the imple-
ments of torture, and within sight a his
fellows I will visit upon him just such
mutilations as you say you intend to inflict
upon mademoiselle, and this will be done
within the hour unless, by the messenger
who carries this to you, you signify your
willingness to forego the tortures upon
mademoiselle, and to exchange her for the
person of Jean l'Esparre.'
Post haste the marquis sent this letter
with secret instructions to the monk ance-
lot, of Metz, who was in silent sy pathy
with Charles, to call the people upo the
market place and tell them of wha was
doing.
Before the letter was sent the moguls

" There is yet time to think of its remits.
Once upon the walls of St. Anne, -•hould
Guise refuse the conditions, I cannot forego
my wards. The conditions of the tOrture
must be fulfilled. Think web, therefere,
and weigh the consequenees."
" I would not have one condition chang-

preparations followed. The
rack, the boot, the fire and the scaffolding
were placed upon the wall of the church of
St. Anne, while the handling of the marquis'
men, who did not know of my voluntary
offer, was not of the kindest.
But in those momenta I thought only of
mademoiselle, and wondered if the sacrifice
was to bring good to her. Poor, sweet
little mademoiselle ! It was all too little
for a man to give one so meek, so tender, so
k i nidh.e 0
hurch of St. Anne was so near to
Metz that a gunshot might have reached
where I was from the village, and I could
almost recognize the features of the folk in
the town. The 'short intervening distan-e.e
that separated the possessions of Charles
from those of Henry was marked aa a (livid-
ing line by a small stream of water.
Suddenly, on the banks of thin stream, in
the town of Metz, a great commotion was to
be noticed. The monk Lanceleot had' done
his work. The populace were surging to
the stream's side to see if a son of their town
was really to suffer before them.
I stood there what Seemed an intermin-
,
able time upon the walls of that en uroh of
St. Anne, while the people of Metz 'nor 21
about in excited groups on the opposi.e
shore. At last the courier was seen te re•
turn. When he drew near he raised his
hands. They were empty. The cluindis
answer was told.
" The dog !" cried Marignano. " He
would have you tortured."
" Yes, marquis," I said ; " and you must
keep your word."
; would have insisted on his doing so, had
he refused, for I was standing in the pres-
ence of my country people, and I would not
be accused of having gotten up a display
but to intimidate the duke ; nor would I
have had the marquis impugned, for he had
given it that this thing was to be. But so
as not to see thioge that were to happen, he
went away, leaving orders with hie lieuten-
ant in charge.
I was placed high upon the scaffolding,
o that my form was silhouetted against
he sky. Then my hands _were bound be-
hind me, and the iron heated white was held
loft for the people of Metz to see. I ould
hear the excited cries, and thought that in
he crowd I could see my mother wringing
er hands.
The iron touched Me upon the arm, and
he smoke of burning flesh was seen by those
n the opposite shore ; the ,pain almost
&used me to faint. Then I heard a mighty
ry of hundreds 'of voices welled into one.
t was a cry of threat to Charles and a com-
mand to Guise to spare their countryman.
Again was the iron about to be applied,
hen suddenly the lieutenant below inter-
ered. A white flag was being waved from
window in the house of Guise, and in the
treats of Metz coming at a mad pace te-
ar& us, was a -mounted courier.
Seed the rider reached the church and
resented his message. It agreed that up -
n Marignano rescinding hie orders regard -
g Me, Guise would free mademoiselle from
ar of torture.
But nothing was said regarding setting
&demoiselle at liberty, and I was for in -
sting that Marignano keep the terms of
is meseage till Guise would grant her
ardon, but the pain caused me to faint and
was carried back to the prison of Thion-
Ile.
When I woke I found the marquis -4 beeide
e, and a saddle horse at the door.
" It is for you," said the marquis, point -
g to the waiting animal. " My men are to
cort you back within your lines."
I looked at him in wonder.
" Strange things have taken place since
u lay here this afternoon," said the mar -
is. " The infidel Solymon heard we had
ken the treasure casket, and as Guise has
t paid for it, he has threatened that if it
not returned -to him he will comtnence
e ravages in Hunganyn the emperor, not
inking it worth the bloodshed, has agreed

outs from mademoiselle. We will give
bert something in ite place.
" We have informed Guise of this, and he
content to have the casket returned to
ly mon ; he then agreed to exchange
demoiselle for you. Alit, come, we are to
eet at the bridge."
Into the saddle I was helped, while a
oper held me along the journey to the
dge, as I lacked the strength. There I

"Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the only
medicine that ever love me any real bene-
fit," said Mre. R- K. Hard', a well.known
resident of WindsPe, to a representative of

actly what my trouble was ; doctors seemed

it was consumption. had a constant rack-

in my chest as though some foreign sub-

noise made me nervous ; I was dejected all
the time and could scarcely no any

they did no help me in the least. Doctors
did not seem able to help me or tell ree
what ailed me, although their bills increan.
ed with alarming rapidity. I grew BO weak,
and so despondent that linally I decided to
take a trip to Colorado to see if a change of

was abandoned, and I continued using the
pills until I had taken eight or nine boxee,
when I felt like anealtogether different per-
son. From a pale, thin listless person, I
became the pieta:ire of 'health, and felt it
too. It is several years since I used tiles
pills, and I have not had any return of the
trouble. I am positive Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills sieved me from an early grave, and I
cannot recommend them too highly to theme -
who are afflicted as I was."
It is the mission of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to make rich, red blood, nourish the,
nerves, tissues and various organs of the
body, and thus by reaching the root of the
trouble drive disease from the system. Other
medicines act only on the symptoms of the
disease, and when such medicines are die -

aggravated form. If you want health and,
strength, be sure the full name, " Dr. Wil-

wrapper around each box. If your dealer
dees not supply you they will be sent
post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50, by addressing the Dr. Wilhelm' Medi-

Some Things Worth Knowing.
—Old-fashioned Paisley 'shawls are much,
in request for making into opera cloaks;
The pattern is added to or outlined in
velvet, gold cord and lace. The effect it,
very pieturesque.
— Avoid sleeping in an undergarment that
has been worn during the day. If the
change froth woollen underwear to cotton
night dress produces a chilly sensation then
provide one of soft, light flannel.
— It is stra.nge what a small nibble a -
woman will take out of a piece of cake wben
her lover is looking. But with what
alacrity she can get fifteen elothes pegs in
her mouth onwashing day, when she is in
a hurry and wants to go out in the after-
noon.
—A watch should be cleaned every two -
years or so. Anyone having the misfortune
to drop his watch into water, etc., should
take it at once to a watchmaker to have it
taken to pieces and cleaned, for a delay of
even an hour might epoil the watch for-
ever.
— Lemonade made from the juice of a
lemon is one of the best and safest drinks -
for any person whether in health or not.
It is euitable for all stomach niseases ex-
cellent in sickness, in cases of jaundice,
gravel, liver complaint, inflammation of the
bowels and fevers.
—Indigestion is reaponsible for more
skin eruptions, pimples, and sallowness and
pastiness of the complexion than is -ever-
imagined. Until it is cured there is little -
hope of the blemishes disappearing Alh
diet should be very light, and until the
symptoms have begun to disappear it must -
be taken in email nuantities only.
—Many women suffer a martyrdoen dur-
ing their summer trips to the seaside owing
to sunburnt faces. Some people burn red,
others brown. Timely precautions may be
taken which will ward off to a great extent
the pain of sunburn and uncomfortable dry-
-ness that the skin experiences when it be-
gins to peeI. Buttermilk is a good thing t�
uee, and the juice of cucumbers is a time-
honoured remedy. It is a good plan to rub
the face with slices of cucumber, err to bathe -
the face in milk into which some cucumber
juice has been squeezed.
—Many people are troubled by, the wax
in the ear becoming hard and so causing
temporary deafness and difficulty of hear-
ing. Cold often produces this minor ill,
while sometimes it is constitutional. In,
slight casee one can cure oneself. Drop a.
little warm salad oil into the ear, lying on
one side to let it soak it. Repeat this two
or three nights, and then syringe the ear -
with lukesvarm water in whicha little soap -
has been dissolved. After the syringing be -
careful to put a piece of cotton wool in the
ear. especially when you go outside, as the
syringing Makes the ear sensitive, and liable
to fresh cold just at first.
