' 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. Business is business.

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.

The cry of the classmate was like 'that of a mother, for it was his old idol mid hero who lay helpless and broken before him. o * * * •* 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 tient for them and by their wide re- pute.

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.
