Selected Storp.

EDWARD BROWN, STOKER.

We were very quict, Mary and I, as we stolled out of the churchyard, down ene of the lanes, and then crossing a stile. we went through a couple of fields and sat down on another stile, with the high hedge on either side of us and the meadow that they were beginning to mow at the other end, one glorious bed of flowers and soft, feathery grass,

« Polly,” says I at last, breaking the silence, “ain't this lovely?”

“And you feel better?’ she says, patting her hand on mine. —

« Be.ter!” I says, taking a long draught of the soft, aweet-scented air, and filling my chest, “ better, old girl; I feel as if I was growing backward into a boy.”

«“ And you fifty last week !” she says.

$s Yea,” I nays, smiling, “ and you forty-seven next week.” And then we sat thinking for a bit.

“ Polly,” [says at last, as [sat there drinking in that soft breeze and feeling it vive me strength, “it's worth begin ill, only to feel as I do now.”

For vou see I'd been very bad, else I dave say I’m not the man to go hang- ing about churechyards and watching funerals. I’m a stoker and my work lies in steamers trading to the Kast. I'd come home from my last voyage bad with fever, and had been carried home to die, as my mates thought, and it was being like this and getting better that had set me thinking so seriously and made me so quiet. Not that 1 was ever a noisy sort of &@ Man, as any One who knows me will say. And now a‘ter getting better, the doctor had said I° must go into the country to get strong; so there Was no more voyaging until | was strong. There was nothing for it but to leave the youngsters under

the care of the eldest girl and a neigh;

bor and come ani take lodgings out in this quiet Surrey village.

Polly never thought I should get better, and one time no more did [; for about a mouth before this time. as | lay hallow-eyed and yellow on the bed, knowing, too, how bad [ looked, for ] used to make young Dick bring me the looking glass every morning, the doctor came as usual and like a blunt English- man, | put it to him flat.

“ Doctor,” L says, you don’t think I'shall get better?’ and I looked him s‘raight in the face.

“Oh, come, come, my man!” he says,

smiling, “don’t look at the black side

of it like that.”

“None of that doctor,” I says. “ Out with it like a man. I can stand it. I’ve been expecting to be drowned or blown-up half my life, so 1 shan’t be scared at what you may say.”

“Well, my man,” he says, “your symptoms are of a very grave nature. You see the fever had undermined you before you came home, and unless

“ All right, doctor,” I says, “[ under- s'and. You meant that unless you can get a new plate in the boiler she won't siand another voyage.”

“Oh, come! we won't look upon it ai a hopeless case,’ he says. “ There’s always hope.’ After a little move talk he shook hands and went away.

Next day when he came I had been thinking it all over, and was ready for him. I don’t believe I was a bit better. In fact I know I was drifting fast, and I saw it in his eyes as well.

[ waited till he had asked me his different questions, and then, just as he was getting up to go, I asked him to sit down again.

“ Polly, my dear,” [ says, “T want a fow words with the doctor,” and she put her apron up to her eyes and went out, closing the door after her very saftiy, while the doctor looked at me carious like, and waited for me to apeak,

“Doctor,” I says, “you've about given me up. There, don’t shake your head, for Iknow. Now, don’t you think I’m afraid to die, for I don’t believe I] am; but look here. There’s seven children down stairs, and if I leave my wife a widow, with the few pounds | have been able to save, what's to become of them? Can’t you pull me through ?”’

“ My dear fellow,” he says honestly, “Tve done everything I can for your

case.

“Phat’s what you think, doctor,” I says. “But look here. I’ve been at sea thirty years, and in seven wrecks. It’s been like dodging death with me a. score of times. Why, I pulled my wife there regularly out of the hands of death, and I'm not going to give up now. I’ve been e , |

“S op, stop,” he says gently. “ You're exciting yourself.”

“ Not a bit,” [ says, though my voice Wa quite a whisper. “I've had this over all night, and [ come to think I! Must be up and doing my duty.”

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

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

Dr. MELVIN’s CapsicuM Porous 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 ay op. to be worn continually to effeet acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as & 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, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MrLyrn’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTERs, and their superiority over aji other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases ag have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and linimenta, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on 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-

wh ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee

of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MeLvrn’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, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
