How the Dorctor’s Daughter wo Dakin’s Boy.

( Concluded. )

“But, Hetty,” pleaded Sibyl, “you're hever going tu walk, noboly kuows how tar, in all the rain?”

**And you dou’t even know where these Dukins live.

“Yes. | do. It’s a big red_bric: house, just beyond the wods by the Church. Papa showed it to me the other day.”

“Fall two miles away.”

“] can’t help that,’ said Eletty.

“And me all alone !”

Sibyl’s voice grew plaintive.

“FT can’t help that, either,’’ returned Hetty, a little impatiently. “But don’t fret, Sib—I’i] pot be lovg.”

“And out the brave little girl walked into the tempestuous twilight, with her pockets full of medicioe and the water- proot cloak buttoned snug around her.

Not until she bad left the friendly light of her home far behind, and was lost in the black, rustling depths of the fcreat, where the dirk boughs met over her head and ghostly whisper sounds wen’ throuzh the dry leaves, did Hotty's va isat heart begua to quail.

Even then she would uvt admit to her- self that she was in the least timid, but resolutely fixed her thoughts upon Dakiu’s boy, suffueating to ceath with croup, and quickeoed her footsteps as she did so.

Dirker and darker it grew—lonelier and lonelier ; but Hetty pressed resolutely 60, only, uutil drenched with rain apd ready to drop with the fatigue of making her wiy through muddy roads agaiust the wind she knocked at the door of Squire Dikia’s red brick hease.

An elderly womaa opened it.

“Ia it the doctor ?” ssid she eagerly.

“No,” said Hetty, ‘but its the doctor's daughter.

“DL ord’s suke alive!’ said the woman, despairingly; “what good can you do, aud tia so mortal bid ?”’

“A great deul,” suid Hetiy, “let me come in it you please, I understand my fither’s trestmeut, aud | have some med1- cine.”

At this the woman stood back, motioning toward the stairway, aod Het ty ran up and catered the sick room with a cwfidence born of her womanly couiage and kiuduess.

But it was no cradled babe or plump four-year-old who lay there. Duakiu's boy was one and twenty at the very least, psle and hand-ome, with closed eyes, and « face set as if iv mortal pwin, as it lay on its pillow.

[t—it isn’t the croup, then? said she, clasping one of the little bottles in her hand.

It’s quinsy, said one of the attend. ants; and it’s a fatal case, I’m thinsing,

And littl Hetty, all ber bravery oozing out, like Bob Acres’ courage, at her tinger’s end, sat down behind the door, and began to cry.

The sick man opened his cyes—-large

and soft and dark they were, with long lashes—and asked faintly j Who is that? Hetty rose and came forward. | It’s mo, the doctor's daughter, said she. [—thought it was a little boy with the croup, and— a Don't cry, said he gently, it will soon be over. And he closed his eyes again, while oor Hetty cried harder than ever. An| incepient case of croup she thought | she could manage, but quinsy was en- tirely beyond the range of her capa- cities. She had never been in a death chamber before, and the hour of solem- nity of the scene impressed her with a sense of vague terror. Just then a brisk, heavy footstep sprang up the stairs, two at a time. bere was a stirand commotion in thei room. Oh, thank heavens! cried Hetty, it’s

aie Wallis it was. Released earlier than he expected from the other sick bed he had returned home and learned from his elder daughter Hetty’s errand —and here he was, flushed and breath- less from the haste he had made.

An hour later he came down to where Hetty sat on the lowest stair, pale and anxious,

Papa, said she, how is he?

Better, my dear. Doing well, But it was an even chance between death and life for one while. Come, dear, I’m going dome now. Dobbin is at the| door.

Hetty climbed silently into the chiise ani! nestled down by her father’s side,

Papa, said sho, was I very faolish to come here ?

No, my dear, you are very kind- hearied. But you see there is some dift- ference between a simple case of croup and malignant quinsy.

Dakin's boy recovered with great ¢celerity, and the first place he visited on his convalescence was Dr. Wallis’ house, to thank the doctor's black-eyed) daughter for coming tv see him on thit stormy night.

I wish I was a little chap with ‘ho croup, suid be laughing, to put mycel under your professional care.

uum

What nonsense! said Letty, turning very ied.

Bat indeed, I shall never forget the pitying look in youe kind eyes, said

lector Dakin. gently. It seemed some- |

how to draw me back to life.

And by the time that Dikin’s boy was guite recovered, be had gotten in- to the way of sperting his time at De. Wallis’ that seem:t decidedly chronie ; and n> one was very mueh su p ‘ised when he became engaged to the decor's daughter.

It’s very strange, though, srid Sibly, frequentiy, that the only eligible and decent looking man within ten miles should ful! inlove with our brown little Hetty. 5

I don’t think it strange at all, said Dr. Wallis, dryly.

The Greatest Medical Diseovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the Commeucement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many diiferent diseases has eaused 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 Carstcem Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel ils effect.

Physiciansin all ages havo thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an oulward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, couvineed of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELViIn’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rhenmatism, 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 wantacertain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MECVIN's CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Althongh powerful and que in its action, you can rely on its safety

or the most delicate person to wear, as it is

free from lead and er poisonous materia) commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ri hundreds to your friends.

Ask your dru for Dr. Mrivrn’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.
