But the scions of t e Byrntell family were

pappa'" murmured Gertrude.
Old Mrs . Byrntell removed the violet cap
from her head with trembling fingers, then
without another word she left the room.
Half an hour later the Judge found her
sitting alone in her room. In her lap lay a
timastained box' from which came a faint
_
scent of lavenderflowers.
"See, John," she said, tremulously, tak-
ing from it a pair of gloves and satin slip-
pers, yellow with age. "We used to say
the time was ,ehort between that day and
this; but I am realizing now that we were
wrong. We have no place in the world of
to -day."
" Not a bit of it, my dear,'I said the
judge. "1 have a plan which will show
thein that the old chaise and the old couple
aren't to be put in a cobwebby frerner just
yet." He looked at the gown grandmamma
had laid on the bed—an old-fashioned black
silk, with tiuy sprigs of pansies woven in it.
"That is the gown you mere going to wear,
on our 'golden wedding day, and that is the
gown you shall weer. A minister coming 1
a rector, as they call him, an Episcopalian,
to repeat the marriage ceremony ! aa if the
knot was not tied firmly enough by a good
old Orthodox parson fifty years ago."
"And boys to sing, John I" pub in Mrs.
Byrntell, faintly.
"We have stood a great deal these last
two eeks, Rachel," said the jndge, his
angeraising. "The whole place has been
made'ever to suit the children's whims,
witheat a thought of our comfort. - They
sent the old horse to pasture yesterday, and
atowed away the carriage that we have
ridden in for twenty years. But we will
have •them both back again to -morrow.
Now, listen to my plan, Rachel," and as he
closed the door softly, Charles Byrntell
came out of his room'across the hall, and
walked Slowly down the stairs vcith a queer
smile onbis face. '
At sunset the next day, in the midst of
the flurry of caterers and florists, who had
come to make preparations for the fete on
the morrow'an old horse and chaise was
driven unnoticed out of the lane behind the
barn.
But as it approached the first turn in the
road, a man rose from a low stone wall and
strolled toward it.
"Stop a moment, father," said Charles
Byrntell, putting his head on the slowly -
turning wheel. "1 have your wedding
present here, and perhaps I had better give
it to you now, for I want you and mother
to have it on your anniversary," glancing
with a half smile at the large valise on the
floor of the chaise.
"It isn't much, but I thought you would
like it as well as anything. It's a deed of
the forest land and south meadow we were
speaking of the other day. I wanted you
to know that I hadn't quite 'forgotten our
old talks. Deal thank me, I don't deserve
it. But there is one thing more I would
like to say," he added, looking down, with
a slight flush on his face. "1 know our
visit has been a disappointment to you, but
don't think too hard of us; ib has been
more thoughtlessness than anything else."
The Judge grasped his son's hand heart-
ily, and Mrs, Ilaryntell leaned down to put
her lips to his forehead in a parting kiss,but
neither spoke. Then the old chaise &sap.
peared around the bend in the road in a
cloud of dust. Grandmamme, and Grand-
pappa Byrntell were eloping. "

After Long Years of Perfect Health Be -
Was Attacked With Kidney Trouble
and Other Complications—Dr. Williams
Pink Pills Bring Him New Health.
From the Pieton, Ont., Times.
Mr. B. L. Meath', of Hollowell township,
Prince Edwerd county, was a caller at the
Times office the other day, and during his
visit told of his great suffering from kidney
trouble and rheumatism, accompanied by
dyspepsia, cold feet, and a generally broken
down constitution. Mr. Mastin is one of
the first settlers of Prince Edward county.
He is in his seventy-first year, and is the
father of a grown-up family of well-to-do
farmers, In the course of the conversation
Mr, Mastin said :—" 1 had never known
what it was to be sick. I have always had s
good health, and worked on my farm every
day Until some months ago, when I was
taken with severe pains in my back and
shoulders. I consulted a doctor, but receiv-
ed little benefit. I was told by one doctor
that I had rheumatism and kidney disease,
but his treatment did not help me andi
continued getting worse. My appetite fail-
ed me and I fell away in flesh. I became
irritable and could not sleep well at night.
Nobody can conceive the intense pain I en-
dured. Not deriving any benefit from the
food I ate, and having a constant pain in my
stomach, I soon became aware that I had
dyspepsia, and the pain in my back and
shoulders; intensified by the stone-like
weight in My stomach, made life to me al-
most unbearable. I was also a great , suffer-
er fromt
, cold feet, nearly every day my fee
wouldl get like chunks of ice, and unless I
was canstantly by the fire the soles of my
feet would feel as though they were wet.
One day I told my wife that I was seeing to
try Dr, Williama' Pink Pills. Having read
so much of these famous pills,I thought that
what they had done for others they might do
for me. I procared a box from Mr. E. W.
Case, druggist, and, to my great delight, be-
fore I had tilted quite one box I had improv-
ed. When I had finished a couple more
boxes I felt like a new man and I 'gladly
tell this for the benefit of il who suffer as I
i.
did." Continuing Mr. Mastin said: "My
rheumatism is all gone an I can come and
go and enjoy as good health as ever I did."
With these remarks Mr. Mastiff got up to
go, but added that bis wife was receiving
much benefit from Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills,
" I took home a caupIe of Ibexes the ,other
day, and she thinks they are splendid."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pill e cure by going to
the root of the disease. They renew and
build up the blood, and strengthen the
nerves'thus driving disease from the sys-
tem. Avoid imitations by insisting that
every box you purchase is enclosed in a
wrapper bearing the full trade mark, Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pales People. If
your dealer does not keep them they will
be sent postpaid at 50 ccitnts aliox, or six

A Promiliant Business Man Dies.
Mr, William. Christie, the s head of the
well kpown firm of Christie, Brown & Com-
pany, biscuit manufacturers, died at his
residence in Toronto, on Tuesday. He was
one of Toronto's best known and successful
business men. He has suffered from cancer
for a lbng time. In February he was com-
pelled to keep to his residence and has not
been able to be out since. Mr. Christie was
born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Fieotland,
January 5th, 1829. He did not receive an
elaborate education, but he •obtained con-
siderable schooling. He was obliged in his
young days, for his family was not wealthy,
to seek sup honest employment that was
offered. Early in life he took to the trade
of baker. When he was not quite through
his apprenticeship, he decided to come to
Canada and pursue his calling. In 1848 he
arrived in Canada. Coming to Toronto, he
secured employment in a bakery, but in
1851 he entered into a business of his own,
with Mr. Brown, a well known business
man, as partner. and the firm has evet since
continued and prospered, and the name has
long been familiar in every household in
Canada, on account of the biscuits they
manufacture. Mr. Christie was a great

dealers, livery men and other owners of
horses, asking our candid opinion as to who
Manufactures the beat horse liniment.
In order that we might be able to give a
aatisfactory report, and one that might be
relied upon by those interested,
we decided to make a thorough in-
vestigation of the leading horse liniments
and answer editorially.
It was the realization of the importance
of our decision that induced us to take more
than .customary care in thoroughly looking
up the matter, and therefore secured the
services of thoroughly reliable experts in
thin line, who enjoy_established repntatioes
for x3Fobity and knowledge of the require-
ments of the article under oonsideration.
After a careful and exhaustive investiga-
tion of all the leading horse liniments, the
result of our investigation was unanimously
in fatter of Kendall's Spavin Cure, made by
the Dr. B. J. Kendall Company, of Enos -
burg Falls, Vermont.
This cure is undoubtedly the _moat suc-
cessful remedy ever discovered, as it is oer-
tain in its effects and does alOt blister, It
cures Splints,Spavins. Cuts, Gene, Sprain's,
etc. The Dr, B. J. Kendall Company eau
show hundreds of testimonials from leading
horse owners, stating that leiter trying all
other remedies the only reliable and beat
was Kendall's Spavin Cure.
Those who have, made inquiries on this
subject may esteem this our reply, and we
would suggest that an inquiry directed to
the above named firm would doubtless elicit
information out of place in these columns.
Dr. Kendall also is the author of a book
upon a Treatise on the Horse and His Dis-
eases," which will be forwarded -upon re-
quest.
This remedy is fer sale by all druggists,
or can be had from the manufacturer.
