Mr and Mrs James A Dieh!, who live about ove and a half railes from Bricge- water, are highly esteemed by a large ' circle of friends.

The case resembled mive in some reepects. I read and re-read the article. It haunted me for several days notwithatandiag I tried to dismiss it from my mind.

‘I wish you could see the negative !” he said as he came back from his laboratory. ‘**You were a little red in the face, but it will come out black, so it’s all right. That —= will be quite a novelty, I flatter my- self.

if Lcould only engage him in conversa- tion I felt comparatively secure.

“Oh, I put in an appearance in the Row sometimes, in the season,” I replied ; ‘tand, while I think of it,” I added, with what I thought at the time was an inspiration, ‘‘if you will come with me now, I'll show you my horse—you might take me on horseback, eh?” I did not possess any such animal, but I wanted to have that door unlocked.

‘“Take you on horseback !” he repeated. I had rather thought of that myself.”

“Then come along and bring your instru- ment,” I said, ‘‘and you can take me at the stables ; they’re close by.”

‘‘No need for that,” he replied cheerfully. Pl find you a mount here.”

And the wretched lunatic went behind the screen and wheeled out a small wooden quadruped covered with large round spots :

‘She's a strawberry roan,” he said ; ‘‘observe the strawberries. So, my beauty, quiet, then! Now settle yourself easily in the saddle, as if you were in the Row, witb you face to the tail.”

*‘Listen to me for one moment,” i en- treated tremulously. ‘‘I assure you that I am not in the habit of appearing in Rotten Row on a spotted wooden horse, nor does any one, I assure you—any one mount a horse of any description with his face toward the crupper! If vou take me like that you will betray your ignorance—you will be laughed at !’

When people tell you it is possible to hoodwink the insane by any spacious show of argument, don’t believe them; my own

experience is that demented persons can be |

quite perversely logical when it suits their purpose.

‘*Pardon me,” he said, ‘‘you will be laughed at possibly—not I. I cannot be held responsible for the caprices of my clients. Mount, please; she'll carry you perfectly.”

“I will,” I said, ‘if you'll give me the revolver to hold. I—should like to be done with a revolver.”

“I shall be delighted to do you with a revolver,” he said grimly, ‘“‘but not yet, and if [lent you the weapon now I could not answer for your being able to hold the horse as well—she has never been broken in to firearms. I'll hold the revolver. One— two—three—”

I mounted. Why had I not disregarded the expense and gone to Lenz & Kamerer? Lenz does not pose. his customers by the aid

Dr. A. W. CHASE IN CONSULTATION,

TEST THE KIDNEYS

They Are the Great Feeders of Our Bodies—the Purity of the Blood is Dependent on Their Cleans- ing Powers.

Dr Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills are the Only Cembined Kidney and Liver Pill—What They Have Ac- complished is But a Guarantee of What They Will Do.

There’s a time to all, old and young, man or woman, when poor health brings trouble, anxiety, and burdens hard to stand up under, and one’s ef- forts to rid himself or herself seem cnly to be baffled at every turn, and we are prone to grow discouraged.

That is not the time to give up— but the time for action, the time to geek out the seat of the trouble, and sct as your best judgment and the experience of others will help you, fuarding against mistakes in the treat- ment adopted for your particular ail- ment.

READ WHAT AMOS CARTER,

MELBOURNE, ONT., SAYS:

Spasms Lasted for Hours at a Time —Left Great Aching and Soreness— Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills Proved His Deliverer.

I was for over six months troubled vith very sharp pains in the region of my kidneys, the spasms lasted for half an hour at a time, and left me with great aching, soreness and pain. I tried many remedies, but they did me no good. I commenced taking Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills accord- ing to directions. I had not much faith that they would cure me, but after taking one box I noticed @ change for the better. It may seem incredible, but after taking the second box the pains all left me entirely, and I have not had them = since.—-Amos Carter, Melbourne.

As he took the last I rolled off the horse, completely prostrated. “I think.” I vasp ed, faintly, ‘I would rather be shot at onc without waiting to be taken in anv positions, :

ovUner l really am not @jual to any more of this.” He was quite capable, I felt, of photographing me in the perambu- lator if it once occurred to him.

“‘Compose yourself,” he said soothingly. “I have obtained all I wanted. I shall not letain you much longer. Your life, I may remark, was never in any imminent danger, I have now only to thank you for the readiness with which you have afforded me your co-opera- tion, and to assure you that copies of each of the photographs shall be forwarded for Miss Wavy erley’s inspection.”

‘*Miss Waverley !” I exclaimed; ‘‘stay, how do you know that name ”” ’

“If | mistake not, it was her photograph that you kindly brought for my guidance. 1 ought to have mentioned, perhaps, that I once had the honor of being engaged to her

until you (no doubt for the highest mo- tives) invested my little gift of song with a flavor of unromantic ridicule. That ridicule I am now enabled to repay, with interest calculated up to the present date.”

‘So you are Iris’ poet!” [ burst out, for somehow I had not completely identified him till that moment. ‘‘You scoundrel? do you think I shall allow you to circulate those atrocious caricatures with impunity? No, by heavens? my solicitor shall e

‘“‘I rely upon the document you were kind enough to furnish,” he said, quietly. “ee tear that any legal proceedings you may re- sort to will hardly avert the publicity you seem to fear. Allow me to unfasten the door. Goodby; mind the step on the first landing. Might 1 beg you to recommend me among your friends?”

I went out without another word; he was mad, of course, or he would not have de- vised so outrageous a revenge for a fancied injury, but he wascunning enough to be my match. I knew too well that.if I took any legal measures he would contrive to shift the whole burden of lunacy upon me. I dared not court an inquiry for many reasons, and so I was compeiled to pass over this unparalleled outrage in silence.

Iris made frequent inquiries after the promised photograph and I had to parry them as well as I could—which was a mis- take in judgment on my part, for one after- noon while I was actually sitting with hera packet arrived addressed to Miss Waverley.

I did not suspect what it might contain until it was,too late. She recognized that photographs were inside the wrappings, which she tore open—and then !

She had a short fainting fit when she saw the Gainsborough hat, and as soon as she revived the extraordinary appearance I pre- sented upside down on the mast sent her

into violent hysterics. By the time she was in a condition to look at the equestrian portraits, she had grown cold and hard as marble. ‘‘Go,” she said, indicating the door ; ‘‘1 see I have been wasting my affec- tion upon a heartless buffoon !”

I went—for she would listen to no ex- planations; and indeed I doubt whether, even were she to come upon this statement, it would serve to restore my tarnished ideal in her estimation. But, though I have lost her, I am naturally anxious (as I said when I began) that the public should not be mis- led into drawing harsh conclusions from what, if left unexplained, may doubtless have a singular appearance.

It is true that up to the present I have not been able to Seam that any of those fatal portraits have absolutely been exposed for sale, though I direct my trembling steps almost every day to Regent street and search the windows of the Stereoscopic Company with furtive and foreboding eyes, dreading to be confronted with the pre- sentments of myself—Bedell Gruncher (‘‘Vitriol”), the great critic !—lying across a chair ina state of collapse, sucking my thumb in a Gainsborough hat or bestriding a ridiculous wooden horse with my face to- ward its tail!

But they cannot be long in coming out now, and my one hope is that these lines may appear in print in time to forestall the prejudice and scandal which are otherwise inevitable. At all events, now that the world is in the possession of the real facts, I am entitled to hope that the treatment to which | have been subjected will excite the indignation and sympathy it deserves. — From ‘‘The Talking Horse” by F. Austey.

THEY SURPRISED HIM.

When Jack was Away the Girls Fixed up His Room ‘‘Just Too Lovely.’’

Away on his vacation was Jack, and while he was gone the dear girls thought it would be a perfectly sweet idea to fix up his room. It was a rather demoralized looking apartment from a feminine point of view, but regarded through masculine orbs it was just about right and perfectly comfortable.

But the girls wanted to surprise brother Jack.

So they invaded the sanctum one day and transformed it. They threw out the collec- tion of old pipes on the mantel and turned Pauline Hall’s picture to the wall. They gave Jack’s old slippers to the janitor and tied pale blue cushions on his leather chair. They painted forget-me-nots on his boxing gloves and put a drapery of flowered chintz over the collection of photographs which adorned his cabinet. They tied bows on everything, from the coal scuttle to the picture nails, and hung spiky ornaments on the gas jet with baby blue ribbon. They burned up acollection of newspaper clip- pings which Jack had taken full five years to accumulate and they decorated the face of his shaving glass with a spray of con- volvulus. :

They embroidered tender little senti- ments and stuck them all over regardlessly —‘‘A Friend in Need” on the soap dish, “Think of Me” on the liquor stand, and “Sweets to the Sweet” on the shoe bag.

Then they stood off and admired it.

It was too lovely for anything !

Then Jack came home and they watched him to see how he would take it.

He looked about him in a dazed sort of way first and put his hand to his forehead.

**What is this for?” he said in a hoarse voice, touching a small fiuffy pincusion

which stood on the floor.

“Why, thats a footstool, Jack. When you’re reading you can put your feet on it and be just as comfortable !”

‘‘What’s that wedding cake doing over there in the fender ?”

**That’s not a wedding cake, it’s your old cuspidore. We decorated it with Valen- ciennes lace and white ribbon. Don’t you think it’s cute ?”

‘*Where have you taken the bed ”

“You're sitting on it, you great goose; we've rigged it up as an Oriental divan. You'll have to take down the Japanese um- brella and the lantern every night before you go to bed. It’s too sweet, isn’t it ?”

‘*But I can’t do without a washstand.”

‘‘Why, my dear boy, you just loop this curtain one side, remove the vases and be careful of this swinging ornament, and there you are.”

‘Is that a music box over the desk ?”

‘Well, the idea. That’s only the boot- jack. We stuck the sheephorn to it and gilded them, and now you can keep matches in it.”

‘Say, got any brandy in the house ?”

“‘Why, yes. Are you ill ?”

“Well, I do feel a little rocky ; but say, before you go, what’s this wriggling collection of blue snakes over the bed?”

‘“‘That’s an illuminated motto. Can’t you read it 7”

‘““No, blessed if I can. What is it?”

“Why it’s just as plain as day—‘God Bless This Flat.’ It will hang right over your head every night.”

The valor dis- played by the

soldier, who leads his men into the midst

of the carnage of a great battle, is recognized as hergic, and arouses admira- tion. The ufi- necessary feck- lessness of the man who courts death through some insidi- ous disease is pitiable, but not admirable. That dread disease, consumption, slays more men and women than are slain by war, famine and pestilence combined. It is an utterly unnecessary slaughter. Consumption is curable. One of the most eminent specialists in the world, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting hysician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surg- cal Institute at Buffalo, N. Y., so pro- mounces it. He declares that thirty years ago he discovered a medicine that cures 98 <7 cent. of all cases of consumption. In 1is great medical work, ‘*The Common Sense Medical Adviser,’’ the names, ad- dresses, experiences and photographs of innumerable consumptives who have fe- covered are given. This wonderful medi- cine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Goiden Med- ical Discovery. It is the greatest of all known blood-makers and fiesh-builders. It gives edge to the appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect, renders the liver and kidneys active, makes the blood pure and fills it with the life-giving elements that build new and healthy tissue. It strengthens the muscular system. tones the netves, pumps rich, red, healthy blood into every vital organ, and acting directly on the lungs drives out all impurities and dis- ease gcrms. Thousands have testified to its marvelous merits. An honest dealer will not try to persuade you to take a worthless substitute for the sake of a little added profit. When baby is sick the mother needs to own a copy of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad- viser. It tells the home-treatment of all the or- dinary ills of life.
