» arms bore her very tenderly to the shadow of a tree near by. The two doctors on board pronounced her injuries mortul adding that it would be useless cruelty to attempt her removal during the few rmriaing moments of her life.

As they stood there,the women with tearful eyes, the men with sad faces and uncovered heads, watching the slow ebbing of the ijife that had been given for theirs, a man rushed into thecirele, and kneeling down bythe dying girl, lifted tenderly the bruised head from the shoulder where it rested, and laid it acammst his own.

“Sasie! Oh, Susie!” } looked down upon the white face, over which the shades of death were gathering, fast.

This ery scemed to stay for a moment the flutte her eyes with a smile of recognition.

“T thank thee, father.”’

Those were the last words Sasie Bar- nard ever spoke on carth.

John Ilarmon was a changed man from that hour. Ee was more selfish and thoughtless than bad. Hnudowed with a fine person, and with that wioning charm of manner which made him almost irresistible when he tried to please, it seemed as natural to make love to any pretty woman with whom he chanced to be, as to breathe. He knew that his proud, lady-mother, on whom ill his prospects depended, would never consent to his marrying 2 poor and nameless maiden, and still he went on, calling forth hopes and emotions in that ingocent unsophisticated heartjthat could only end in disappointment and sorrow. It was such grateful incense to his vanity to watch the color come and go in the sweet \ face, and to catch the slender tremulous light io the shy, swiftly averted eyes, and he gave himself up to the selfish enjoyment of the present moment, with searce a thought beyond.

The grand possiblities in that noble nature were a sealed book to him; that brave act of self-forgetting heroism, a revelation that overwhelmed him with sorrow and shame.

Only the bereaved mother deemed that it wag as much remorse as gratitude that impelled him to settle a life annuity upon her, and she never spoke of it to any oue. Two years later a baby girl was born to him, whom he named Susie, in memory of her whose short life was so full of beanty and whose death was so glorious.

BROTHER OF A MILLIONAIRE AWAY BY TWO WOMEN.

THE SPIRITED

The New York ‘Herald's’ Raleigh, N. ©., special says P. R. O’Brien, the missing brother of the late Bonanza O'Brien, who left six million dollars to his two sisters and heirs, was discovered a few months ago in peverty, and suffering from consumption. He was cared for by Mr. Walters. A month ago he noticed the death of his sick brother, and wrote his (Mr. P. R. O’Brien’s) sister in California, telling her that he was alive, knowing that they taought him dead. The sister, in ordet te prove beyond doubt this was her missing brother, semt a lawyer to investigate the matter. This having been done, and all the parties satisfied of his identity, she knowing by this time of his impoverished condition, physically and fiancially, sent him plenty of funds. He had a daughter, but was sudposed to bea wicower. Early on the morning of Dec.

13th, two daring women who claimed to be |

his wife and daughter, spirited the cor sumptive away while dying. Nothing b

been seen or heard of the party since.

c rcumstanceés, that O’Brien is in bad hands, |

and there’s no. hesitancy in saying the ob- ject wasto secure O’Brien’s signature, as that is the only signature by which the two willion dollars coming to him can be secured. [t is alleged he has been kid- napped by the women and forced to sign papers setting aside the will of his brother, and that his part of tke estate be used by sharpers, who no doubt had the whole thing mapped out before O’Brien ever dreamed of seeing his dead wife. New York law- yers are said to be mixed up in the case.

The Greatest Medicai Disccvery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has beon a tims when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S Capsicum Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who bave used them, to act quicker than any. other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real gervicé thin a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and reguire to be worn continually to effect acure; but with theso it is entirely dif- ferent: the stant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effeeted by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTeRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in. the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for IR. MELVIN’s CAPsicUM PorRovUs PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely 6n its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. Cne trials a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will eli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. Mriyrx’s CApst- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
