thoughV How to take care of one's
own body is not so simple as some think-,
the human mechanism is a wonderful
thing and requires watching. '
One tnan who has done more to teach
-the American people how to care for their
bodies than almost any other, is Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo N. Y„ the Author of the
"Common Sense Medical Adviser." Ile
says : It is not the quantity of the food
eaten which produces strength and health
(for some people can keep strong on a very
meagre diet), but it is how much food te
absorbed and assimilated by the blood and
carried hi -nourish every organ of the body.
It is, therefore, vitally necessary for the
body that the stomach be in a healthy
&ate. If disease of the stomach, or what is
called "stomach trouble," prevents proper
nutrition then the heart, liver, lungs, and
kidneys do not get proper food -they are
not fed on oich red blood, and in conse-
quence,‘ begin to show signs of distress.
Outwardly these sirtzs may be pimples
and eruptions on skin, pale face sleepless
nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved, and we receive
warningin the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheurnatisne too, is a blood disease. After
yeare of practice and study_Dr, Pierce
found that an Alterative Extract, which he
named "Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Dis-
covery," made from the extracts of ;several
plants, invariably produced a tonic effect
upon the system. It helped the weenie °,
absorption of the healthy elements in the
food and increased the red corpuscles of
the blood, as well as eliminated the poisons
from the systetn.

The incoherent muttering continued,

"Would you please not mind," whis-

The surgeon drew back., with an ex-
clamation, but the Teller's whieper
gathered otrength, and they heard him
tadrmuring oddly to himself. -Mere-
dith _moved forward, with a startled
gesture, "What's that?" he said.
"Seenis to be trying to sing, or some-
thing," said Barrett, bending over to
listen.
The Teller swung his arm heavily
over the side of the cot, the fingers nev-
er ceasind ttieir painful twitching. The
surgeon leaned down and gentlymoved
the cloths NO that the white, scarred
lips were trite. They moved steadily.
They fleemedeto be framing the sem-
blance of an old ballad that Meredith
knew. The whisper grew more distinct
It became a rich but broken voice, and
they beard it sluicing like the sound 'of
some far, halting minstrelsy:
"Wave willowe-inurntur waters -golden
sunbeams smite,
Earthly en u al o--cannet waken-levely--
Annie Lille,"
Meredith gave an exclamation. -
The bandaged band waved jauntily
over the Teller's head. "Ab, mete" he
said, almost clearly, and tried to lift
.himself on his arm, "1 tell you it's a
grand eleven we have tbis year! There
will be little left of anything that
stands against them, It's .our cham-
pionship. Did you see Jiro Rowley ride
over his man this afternoon?"
As the voice grew clearer theaberiff
etepped forward, but Tom Meredith,
with a loud cry of grief, threw him-
self on. his knees beside the cot and
seized the wandering tingers , in his
own. "John:" be cried. "John, is it

classmate was like 'that of a mother,

Two pairs of carriage lamps sparkled
la front of the hospital in the earliest
of the small hours, these eehlejoined to
two deep hooded phaetons, from each
'of which quickly descended a gentle-
man with a beard, an air of eminence
and a small, ominous black box, and
' the air of eminence was justified by
the haste vrith Which 'Meredith had

Horner and Smith had started at the
mention of the Crossroads, but they
subdued Mein hjaculatIons, while Mr.
Barrett looked as if be bad known it,
of coerse. The' room was still, save
for the din. voice and the soft tran-
seribings of the stylograpkic pen.
"I Tett Judge Briscoe's and went west
on the pike to a big tree. It rained,
and I stepped under the tree for shel-
ter. There was a man on the other
side of the fence -Bob Skillett He
was carrying leis gown and hood -1
suppose it was that -on his arm. Then
I saw two others a little farther east
in the middle of the road. I think
they had followed me from the *ris-
co& or near there, 'They had tkeir
foolish regalia on, as all the others
bad. There Was plenty of lightning
to see. The two in the road were aim -
ply standing there in tbe rain looking
at me through the eyeholes in their
masks!' I knew there were others -
plenty -but I thought they were com-
ing from- bekind me -the west
witched to get home -the court-
house yard was good enough for me-
so I 'darted east toward town. I pass-
ed the two gentlemen, and one fell
down as I went by him, but the other
fired a shot as a signal, and I got his
hood off his face for it, I stopped
long esough, and it was Force John-
son. I know him web. Then I ran,
.and they followed. A little ahead of
me I saw six or eight of them spread
across the road. 1 knew I'd have
time getting througle so 1 jumped the
fence to cut germ the fields. I lit in
a swarm of them. It had rained them
just where I Jumped. I set my back
to the fence, but one of the fellows in
the road leaned over and smashed my
head in, rather -with the butt isf a
gun, I believe. 1 came outlfrom the
fence, and they made a little circle
around me. No one said anything,
;taw- they had ropea and saplings, and
I didn't want that exactly, so I went
in to them. 1 got a good many masks
off before it was over, and I can swear
to quite a number besides those I told
yeu." •
He named the men slowly and care-
fully. Then he went on: "I think they
gave up the notion of whipping. We
ail got into a bunch,, and they couldn't
ert Mgr le gnat evilliout titling some
of their own, and there was s. lot of
gouglug and Meking. One fellow Iner-
t?' got my left eye, and I tried to tear
itim apart, aid he screamed a goad
deal.' Ouce or twice I thought I might
get away, but somebody hammered me
over the head and face again, and I got
dizzy, and then they all jumped away
from. me suddenly, and Bob Skillett
stepped up and -and shot me. He
waited for a flurry of lightning, and I
was slow tumbling down. Some one
else tired a shotgun, I think, I can't be
sure, about the same time front the
side. I tried to get up, but I couldn't,
and then they got together for a con-
sultation. The raan I had hurt --I didn't
recognize him -came aeiklooked at me.
Ile was nursing himself all over and
groaned, and I laugbed, X think; at any
rate my arm was lying stretched out
on the grass, and he stamped his beet.
into my band, and after a little of that
I quit feeling.
'I'm not quite clear about what hap-
pened afterward. They went away --
not far. I think. There' an old shed, a
cattle shelter, neer there, and 1 think
the storm drove them under it to wait
for a slack. It seemed a long time.
Sometimes I was conscious, sometimes
I wasn't. I thought I might be
drowned, but I suppose the rain was,
good for me. Then I remember being in
motion, being dragged and carried a
long way. They carried me up a titeep,
short slope and set me down near the
top. I knew that was tbe railroad OW-
baulanent, and I thought they meant to
lay me across the track, but it didn3
occur to them -Alley are not familiar
with melodrarna-and a long time after
Met I felt and heard a great banging
anti rattling under me and all about
m6, and it came to me that they died
disposed of me by hoisting me into an
empty freight car. The odd part of It
was that the car wasn't empty, for
there weretwo men already in it, and
I knew them by what they said to me.
"They were the two shell ;nen that
elicated tiertley Besrlder, and they
wt vinilictIve. i1mcy even seemea
to be trying to help me a little, though
perhaps they were only stealing my_
clothes, and maybe they thought ;for
them to do anything unpleasant would
be superfluous. I could see that they
thought I was done for and that they
had been hiding in the car when I was
put there. I asked them to try to call
the trainmen for ma but they wouldn't
leen or else I eouldn't make myself un-
derstood. That's an. The rest is a blur.
I haven't known anything more until
• those surgeons were here. Please tell
me how long ago it happened. I shall
not die, I think, There are a good many
things I want to know about." He
moved restlessly, and the nurte soothed
him.
Meredith rose and left the room with
a noiseless Step. He went out to the
stars again and looked to Mon to cheek
tbe storm of rage and sorrow that bit -
feted his bosom. He understood lynch-
ing, uow dee thing was home to him,
and his feeling was no ini3p1ration a
fear lest the law miscarry. It was the
itch to get his own hand on the rope.
• Horner came out presently and wins-
pered a long, broad, profound curse
upon the men of the Crossreads, and
Meredith's gratitude to him was keen.
Barrett went away soon after, and
Meredith bad a strange. unreasonable
desire to kick Barrett, possibly for his
eergeant's sake. Warren Smith sat in
the ward with the nurse and Gay, and
the room was very quiet. It was a long

At 5 o'clock he was still alive -just
