Physicians were unable to help me, and I only grew worse under their care. At length, I began to take -AYER'S Sarsaparilla, a n d very soon grew bet- ter. After using half a dozen bottles I was completely cured, so that 1 have not had a boil or pimple on any part of my body for the last twelve years.

The doctor ran out of the house, and she heard his buggy whirl away, followed by the fainter, sound of Savor's feet as he fol- lowed, nursling after he had 'stopped to re - •vert his story to the Bolton'. Annie turned to the farmer. "Mr. Bolton, get -the carry- all. I must go." • "And me tow" said his wife. Why, no, Paulitiy ; I guess you better stay. I guess it'll come out all right in the end," Belton began. "1 guess William has exaggerated some, maybe. Any rate, who's goin' to look after the little girl if you come ?" "1 am," Mrs. Bolton snapped back. "She's gone with me." "Of course she b. Be quick, Mr. Bol- ton !" Annie called from the stairs, which she had already mounted half -Way. She caught up the child, limp with sleep, from its crib, and began to dress it. Idella cried, and fought away the hands that tor- mented her, and made herself now very stiff and no very lax; but Annie and Mrs. Bol- ton together prevailed against her, and she was dreaed, and had fallen asleep again in • her clothes while the women were Vatting on their hats and sacks, and Bolton was driving up to the door with the carry -all. "Why, I can nee," he said, when he got out to help them in, "just how William's got his idea about it. His wife's an ex- citable 'kind of a womau, and she's sent him off lickety-split after the doctor without looking to see what the matter -was. There hain't never been anybody hurt at our depot; and it don't stand to reason-" Oliver Bolton, will you hush that noise ?" shrieked his wife. "If the world was burnire up you'd Nay, it was nothing but a chimney on fire sons ere." "Well, well, Pauliny, have it your own way, have it your own way," said Bolton. " I ain't sayin' but what there's somethin' in William's story; but you'll see 't he's exaggerated. Git up 1" " Well, do hurry, and do ‘1:te still 1" said his wife. "Yee, yes. It's all right, Pauliny; all right. Soon's I'm out the lane, you'll see "t I'll drive fast enough." Mrs. Bolton kept a grim silence, against which her husband's babble of optimism played like heat -lightning on a night sky. Idella woke with the rush of cold air, and in the dark and strangeness began to nry, and wailed heart-breakingly between her fits of loader sobbing, and then fell asleep again before they reached the house where her father lay dying. They had put him in the best bed in Mrs. Savor's little raeat-room, and when .Annie entered, the minister was apologizing to her TORN GRIEVE, Y. S., honor graduate of Ontario oet Veterinary Collage.

"Now don't you say one word, Mr. • Peck," she answered him. It's ell right. • I ruthah see you layin' there just'e you be • than plenty of folks that-" She stopped for want of an apt comparison, and at eight of Annie she Baia, as if hit were a child whose mind was wandering: "Well, I declare, if here ain't Miss Kilburn some to see you, Mr. Peck! And Ms' Bolton! Well, the land 1" Mrs. Savor came and shook hands with them, and in her character of hostess urged them forward from the door, where they had halted: Want to see Mr. Pock? Well, he's real eoraftable now; ain't -he, Dr. More rell ? We got him all fixed up nicely, and he ain't in a bit o' pain. Its his spine that's hurt, so 't he don't feel nothin' ; but • he's Pet as clear in his mind as what you or be. Ain't he, doctor ?" "He's notsuffering," said Dr. Morrell, to whom Annie'a eye wandered from Mrs. Savor, and there was something in his man- ner that made her think the minister was not badly hurn She went forward -with Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, and after they had both taken the limp hand that lay outside the covering, she touched it toe. It 'returned no pressure, but his large, wan eyes leaked at her with stieh gentle dignity and intelli- gence that she began to frame in her mind an excuse for what seemed ahnoat an in- trusion. "We were afraid you were hurt badly, and we thought -we thought you might like to see ladle -and so -we came. She is in the next reotn." "Thank you," said- the minister. "1 presume that I am dying; the doctor tells me that I have but a few hours to live." Mrs. Savor protested, Oh, I guess you ain't a -gone to die this time, Mr. Peck." Annie looked from Dr. Morrell to Putney, who stood with him on the other aide of the bed, and experienced a shock from their gravity without yet being able to accept the faeb it There's.plenty of folks," continued Mrs. Savor, hurt worse 'n what you be that's elive to -day and as well o'er they was." Bolton seized his chance. "Its just what I said to Pauliny, comin' along. You'll see," said Mr. Peck'll be out as spry as any of us before a great while.' That's the way -1 feit about it from the start." "AU you got to do is to keep up cour- age," said Mrs. Savor. "That's so; that's half the battle," said Bolton. There were numbers of people in the roem and at the door of the next. Annie saw Colonel Marvin and Jack Wilmington. She heard afterwards that he was going to take the same train to Boston with Mr.. Peck, and had helped to bring him to the Savors' house. The station -master was there, and some other railroad employes. - The doctor leaned across the bed and lift- ed slightly the arm thht lay there, taking the wrist between his thumb and finger. "1 think we had better let Mr. Peek rest awhile," he said to the company generally. "We're doing him no good.' The people began to go; some of them said, Well, good -night 1" as if they would meet again in the morning. They all made the pretence that it was a slight mattenand treated the wounded man as if he were a child. He did not humor the pretence, but said, "Good -by," in return for their " Good -night," with a quiet patience. Mrs. Savor hastened after her retreating guests. "1 ain't a-goin' to let you go • without a sup of coffee," she said. I want you should all stay and git some, and I don't believe but what a little of it would do Mr: Peck good." The surface of her lugubrious nature was • broken up, and whatever was kindly and cheerful in its depths floated to the top; she was almost gay in the demand which the calanaity made upon her.' - Annie knew that she must. have seen and helped to soothe the horror of mutilation which she • could not even let her fancy figure, and she • followed her foolish bustle and chatter with respectful awe. " Rebecca '11 have it right off the stove in half a minute now," Mrs. Savor conclud- ed; and from a further room -came the cheerful click of cups, and then a wandering whiff of the coffee; life in its vulgar kindlis Dees touched and made friends with death, claiming it a part of nature too. The night at Mrs. Munger's came back to .Annie from the immeasurable remoteness into which all the past had lapsed. She looked up at Drf. Morrell acmes the bed. Would you like to !meek •with Mr. Peck !" he asked officially. " Behter do it now," he said, with one of his short nods. Putney came and set her a chair. She • would have liked to fall on her knees beside the bed; but she took the chair, and drew the minister's hand into her's, stretching her arm above hb head on the pillow. He lay like some poor little wounded boy, like Putney's Winthrop; the mother that as in Life is a battle field. Hvery day brings its fierce, unceasing con flict• every night leaves , e.. its multitudes of dead and dying. The horrors of war are no greater than the horrors of disease. If all the nations of the earth were at war again sl each other there would be no such carnage wrought within the year as that which is accdruplished annually bY one dread diseare --consumption. And yet this most fatal of all diseases is trot without its remedy. It is no longer the irresistible destroyer that it 'MRS considered thirty years ago. An entirety new aspect 4. put upen the possibilities of this dreadful malady by the astounding remedial actinn of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which cures consumption by nourishing the lungs with an abundant supply of pure, highly - vitalized bloOd. This stops the formation of tuberculous matter, and builds up fresh tissue, muscle's., flesh and vital energy. It gives digestive power to the stomach which is too weak to assimilate oily emulsions. Miss Lucy Kloeffier, of Armada. Mich., writes " hen I was about eight years of age I had in. fla mation of the lungs, and from that time up 1 waq sick nearly all the time and had a doctor nearly all the tune. I would take cold so easily ii would go right to my lungs. At the age of rime. teen I was very bad; there was pain in my lungA tic ling in my throat and my throat was studded with ulcers; there was hoarseness and partial sup. pression of voice, and difficulty of breathing. I doctored with one of our best physicians and he *aid he could not help me and rust prescribed cod liver oil and told my mother 1 could tot live longe: - 'than three months: I kept getting weakereeery day, when at last a friend asked me why' did not try Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery.

She had thought that she should confess her baseness tn him, and mak his forgive- ness, and offer to fulfil with the people he had oh n for the guardians of his child ie that in rrupted purpose of his. But in the presen of death, so august, so simple, all the concerns of life seemed trivial, and she found herself without words. She sobbed over the poor hand she beld. He turned his eyes upon her and tried to speak, but his line only let out a moaning, shuddering, sound, inartioulate of all that she hoped or feared he inight prophesy to shape her fut- We. Life alone has any message for life, but from the -beginning of time it has mat its ear to the cold lips that must forever remain s dumb. cruel wretch I have been -oh, !what a cruel wretch, My pretty! to tear you from your home 1 But now you shall never leave it ; no one shall take you away." She gripped it in a slue:session of fierce hugs, and mum- bled it -face and neck, and the little cold wet hands and feet -with her kisses; and all the time she did not know the child was in its night-dress like herself, or that her. own feet were bare, and her drapery as scanty as Idella's. A sense of the fact evanescently gleamed upon her with the appearance of Mrs. Bol- ton, lamp ill hand, and the instantaneous appearance and disappearance of her hus- band at the back door through which she emerged. The two women spent the first moments of the , lamenlight. in making cer- tain that Adella was sound and whole in every part, and then in 'making uncertain forever how she came to be there. Whether she bad- wandered. out 'in her sleep, and found her way home with dream -led feet, or whether she had watched.till the house was quiet, and then stolen away, was what she could not tell them, and must always_ re- main a mystery. I don't believe but what Mr. Bolton had better go and wake upthe Savors. You got to keep her for the night, I pre - slime, but they'd ought to know where she is, and you can take her over there agin, !come daylight." ts "Mrs. Bolton V' shouted Annie, in •a. voice so deep and hoarse that fit shook the the heart of a woman who had never known fear of man. "If you say Muth a thing to nie-it you ever say such' a thing to me again -I -I -I will hit you Send Mr. Bolton for Idella's things -right away 1" "Land 1" said Mrs. Savor, when Bolton after is long conciliatory preamble, explain! ed that he did not believe Miss Kilburn felt a great deal like giving the child up again. "1 don't want it without it's 'satisfied to stay. I see lest night it was just break& its heart for her, and I told William when we first missed her this mornin' and he was in such a pucker about her, I get anything he was a mind to that the child had gone back to Mies Kilburn's. That's just the words I used; didn't I, Rebecca? I couldn't staid it to have no child grievin' around." Beyond this sentimental reluctance, Mrs. Savor later confessed to Annie herself that she was really accepting the charge of 'della in the same spirit of self-sacrifice as that in whiela Annie was "meandering it, and that she felt, when Mr. Peck firstuggested it, that the child was better off wi h Mies Kil- burn; only she hated to say so. Her bus - band seemed to think it would make up to her for the one they lost, but nothing could really do that. The evening after the funeral .Annie took Idella, ith the child's clothes and toys in a bundle, and Bolton .drove them down Over the Track to the Savors'. She had thought it alt out, and she perceived whatever the minister's final intention might have been,. she was bound by the purpose he had ex- pressed to her, and must give up the child. For fearshe might be acting from the false conscientiousness of which she was beginning to have some notion in herself, she put the case to Mrs. Bolton. She knew -What she must do in any event, but it was a comfort to be stayed so firmly in her duty by Mrs. Bolton, who did not spare some do-ubte of Mrs. Savor's fitness for the charge, and re- flected a subdued censure even upon the judgment of Mr Peek himself, as she hust- led about and helped Annie get 'della and her belongings ready. The child watched the preparations with suspicion. At the end, when she was dressed, and .Annie tried to lift her into the carriage, 'she broke out in sudden rebellion ; she cried, she shrieked, she fought; the two good women who were obeying the dead minister's behest were ob- liged to descend to the foolish lies of the nursery'they told her she was going on a Nish the Savor's, who would take her on the cars with them, and then bring her back to Aunt Annie's house. Before they could reconcile her to this fabled prospect they had to give it yen -similitude by taking off her everyday clothes and putting on her best dress. • She did not like Mrs..Savor's house when she came to it, nor Mrs. Savor, who stop- ped, all blowzed and work -deranged from trying to put it in order after the death in it, and gave Melia a motherlywelcome. i Annie fancied a certain surprise n the man- ner, and her own ideal of duty was put to proof by Mrs. Savor's owning that she had not expected Annie to bring Idella to her right aWaye If I had not done it at once, I never could have done it," Annie explained. "Well, I presume it's a cross," said Mrs. Savor, "and I don't fed right to take • her. If it Wa'n't for what her father-" " Sh !" Annie said, with a significant glance. " an ugly house 1" sereamed the child. "1 want to go back to my Aunt Annie's house. I want to go on the cars." "Yes, yes," answered Mrs. Savor, blind- ly, groping to share in_ whatever cheat had been practised on the child, "just as soon as the cars starts. Here, William, you take her out and show her the pretty coop you be'n makin' the pigeons, to keep the eats out." They got rid of her with Savor's conniv- ance for the moment, and Annie hastened to escape. "We had to tell her she was going on a journey, or we never could have got her in- to the carriage," she explained, feeling like a thief. "Yes, yes. It's all right," said hire. Savor. "1 see you'd be'n puteing up some • kind of job on her the minute she mention- ed the cars. Don't you fret any, Miss Kil- burn.. Receb'ba, and me'll get along with her, you needn'b be afraid.' Annie could not look at the 'empty crib where it stood in its :alcove when she went to bed; and she cried upon her own pillow with heart -sickness for the child, and with humiliating doubt of her own part in hurry- ing to give it up without thought of Mrs. Savor's convenience. What had seemed so noble, so exemplary, began to wear another Color; and she drowsed, worn out at last by the swarming fears, shames, and des- pairs, which resolved themselves into a fantastic medley of 'dream images. There was a eat trying to get at the pigeons in the coop which Mr. Savor had carried 'della to see. It clawed and mauled at the lattice- work of lath, and its caterwauling became like the cry of a child, so that it woke An- nie from her sleep, and still kept on. She lay shuddering a moment ; it seemed as if the dead minister's ghost flitted from the room, while the crying defined and located itself more and more, till she knew it as it child's wail at the door of her house. Then she heard "Aunt Annie! Aunt Annie 1" and soft, faint thumps as of a little fist upon the door panels. She had no experience of more than one motion from her bed to the door, which' the same impulse flung open and let her crush to her breast the little tumult of sobs and moans from the threshold. "Oh, wicked, selfish, heartless wretch 1" she stormed out over the child. "But now I will never, never, never give you up! Oh, my poor little baby! my darling God has sent you back to me'and I will keep you, I don't care what happens 1 What a • • (To be continued.) • The Clinton Show.

CATHARINES, September 27th. -Mrs. F. E. Ecclestone, aged 69, a well known resident of this city, has for some time been afflicted with kidney disease, the symptoms of which were severe pains in the small of her back. She is now perfectly cured. This. happy result is due to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the famous and infallible remedy for all kidney disorders. Mrs. Ea- clestone says the pains have never returned since her recovery, and her happiness over her restoration to sound health is inde- scribable. Wit and Wisdom. .

It is estimated that the strike, which lasted sixty-five working days, cost the people of the Pittsburg district from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. ,Of this amount the miners lose about $2,250,000 in wages. -A special from the city s of Mexico says: Arroyo, who Thursday, 16th ult., assaulted President Diaz, was lynched that night by a mob. About twenty of the lynchers were arrested, The mob proceeded along the most approved line of American -lynching. They broke into the jail by forc- ing thedoors with huge timbers handled by a hundred men. They overpowered the guards and surrounded thesei, while a detail of men ran down the corridoris and dragged out the trembling Arroyo.
