It takes « man w is a whole man, at least physically, to be a western cow - boy. His every-day life calls for gtecat physi- cal endurance, and upon some occasions this must also be backed by consider- yr able nerve - It would be a good 4 x thing for many a hard - working business man if he could turn cow- boy for a couple of months each year, It would give him a chance to get @ the free, pure, in- vigorating air of the prairies into ; . his lungs, a little steel into his cay muscles, a little edge to his ap- oy petite and a little of the calm @xs”" of the boundless plains into bis nerves Unfortunately, the rysh of modern business will not permit the aver- age hard working business man to turn cow- hoy even for a short time each vear. The oniv resource left him, if he does not wish to break down prematurely, is to keep a watchful eye upon his health, and when he finds that he is getting out of sorts, let up a little on work, and resort to the best of all known tonics That tonic is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It promptly puts a worked out man into condition, be- cause it starts at the right place. It begins bv restoring the lost appetite. It corrects ail disorders of the digestion and makes the assimilation of the food perfect. It invig- orates the liver. It purifies the blood and fills it with the life-giving elements of the food. It is the great blood-make: and flesh. builder. By enriching the blood it nour- ishes and builds up every organ and tissye in the body.

CHAPTER XII. 7" Martin gazed after them with puckered brows. ‘‘Well, I never! Is thas all?’’ ***The vandals’ have come and gone, miromie,’’ said Liza, laughing hyster- ically. “The locusts of Egypt have swarmed end unswarmed, Mrs. Martin,’’ said Mamie, drawing a long breath audibly. But Becky shook her head dolorously. ‘You girls can laugh and thank the good Lawd that you are here to laugh, but we ain't done with ‘em yet. We'll hear from them rogues again before long, you mark my words I wisht to goodness I'd had my senses "bout me enough to have asked ‘em who the ma- jor of the Fifth is.’’ Mrs. Strong sat wearily down on one of the gallery chairs, now that her trailing robes were no longer in demand over the ragged planks. She locked her hands and laid them upon her lap. It was only by the rigid interlacing of her fingers that she could control the agita- tion she was heartily ashamed of. “I am inclined to agree with your mother, Eliza. This is merely a preface. How extremely low toned their remarks were. I imagine that to be the case with the entire Federal army. There was nothing polished about those men. I am absurdly unstrung by their appear- ance. Mary, my dear, might I trouble | you for a glass of water? How extreme- | ly agitating it all was. a How long, ob, God, how long?’’ A tear trembled upon each transpar- ent lid. CHAPTER XIX. Following upon a clouded sunset had come one of those sudden changes in the weather common to that climate and season, and night setin in such chilly fashion that Seth cast about his threadbare wardrobe in an impatient _ and hopeless search for something that — might serve asa substitute for a top- coat. He ‘‘was bound to see that thing out if he had to set the night through in | his shirt sleeves on that windy gallery. ’’ The Scriptural apportionment of sev- en women to one man came very near of achievement at Sans Souci in those days, and Seth felt a sense of responsi- bility for their physical welfare that p> ; * Dr. A. W. CHASE LECTURING AT ANN ARBOR, MicH. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION ——_—— Recommends Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment. Dr. C. M. Harlan, writing in the Am- erican Journal of Health, of Feburary 19, says :— ? “Among the proprietary medicines deserving recognition is ‘Dr. Chases Ointment,’ compounded by THE DR. A. W. CHASE MEDICINE CoO., Buf- falo, N. Y., and Edmanson, Bates Co., Toronto, Ont., as a remedy for sores, eruptions, and skin dis- eases of all kinds, for which it has been used with marked success, and has effected remarkable cures in many obstinate cases which seemed to baffle the skilful medical attendant. The results were most favourable, proving the value of ‘Dr. Chase’s Ointment’ as a curative agent in the diseases mamed. The manufacturers of the remedy are well-known as ex- perienced pharmacists, careful and reliable, in addition to which we have made full examination, and find the article to be all that is claimed for it. “Tt is not the practice of the medical profession to indorse indis- criminately the use of proprietary medicines, but while we condemn the bad and worthless, we are still more ready to imdorse and recommend the remedy deserving the recognition. “ Neither the physician nor the re- sponsible Journal of Health now re- fuses to acknowledge the claims of such proprietary remedies as ‘ Dr. Chase’s Ointment,’ which prove their virtues by curing Where other agen- cies have failed. “We know that ‘Dr. Chase’s Oint- ment’ meets al) requisitions of the highest standard of worth, that it wild be held in high esteem wherever it is used, and consequently we indorse it to every reader.” Cc. M. HARLAN, M. D. a te ee Oe ee + | ‘Was not confined to the careful herding of their diminishing flocks or the rais- ing of acceptable food crops. That ‘‘a lot of impudent Yankee cuss- es’’ should have visited Sans Souci and let their ‘‘rough tongues’ loose on the madam and sissy was an indignity that stirred him to hct but impotent wrath. He had so expressed himself with in- effectual remorse when the story of the morning had been told him, variously and excitedly. “*I don’t know as I could a-done any- thing if I’d b’en here, but seems like there oughter b’en a man bout to a-saved you all some.”’ ‘We ain’t through with ‘em yet, sonny. You'll have a chance at ’em,”’ said his mother, with pathetic pride in the courage of the Martins. ‘‘It wouldn’t surprise me one particle if them sassy rogues was to come back to- night and stick a torch to us all while we was asleep.’’ It was this frightful prophecy that set Seth to hunting up a topcoat, which, of course, he did not find. He relinquished the search with a patient sigh and compromised on a moth eaten comforter, which he was cheerfully convinced would secure him against the added pangs of sore throat. They were an unexacting lot, those hemmed in rebels, men and women, and had learned the great lesson of do- ing without thoroughly well. And a man who has learned to do without such superfluities as flour and coffee and sugar and shoes and hats is not apt to grow captious over the absence of a topcoat. ‘“*If it worn’t for the women folks, I could stand it better, durn’d if I couldn’t. Pd enjoy mortifyin the flesh in some fashion, seein I’m shut off from doin any of the fightin, but mam- my’s old and the madam’s delicate, and dog-on me if it don’t make me snortin mad to have them pestered. ”’ Thus Seth to himself, pacing slowly and softly up and down the vine cur- tzined gallery, a lonely, bewildered sen- tinel, not knowing in the least what the moments might bring forth, accept- ing duty for his password and ready to follow his commander, conscience, into the very jaws of death. Two huge tubbed oleanders flanked the front steps on either side. The soft, slow patter of the rain upon their thick leaves made him nervous. It lessened his chances of hearing approaching foot- steps and tended to further confuse his bewildered senses. At one moment the pattering sound- ed like the faroff clatter of innumera- | ble hoofs, then again it fell with the sharp distinctness of clinking spurs on nearby heels, while over the shadowy groups of the dark shrubs the night wind swept its wolian harp with rest- less fingers. When unstinted physical labor has filled the day, sleep makes imperative demands on a man, let him be never so nervously excited otherwise, and Seth had to keep in constant motion to ward off drowsiness. He would never forgive himself if those predicted torch bearers should accomplish their wicked ends while he slept. ‘“‘D—n ’em, they may shoot me fur it, but I’l) get in one or two licks fust.’’ His footfall was noiseless, nothing between him and the damp gallery floor but the stout woolen socks knitted by his mother’s dexterous fingers. The wooden sabots he had laborious- ly achieved for outdoor wear were too painfully audible for such a delicate mission as that night was devoted to. This sentinel duty had not been dis- cussed with the women. They had all retired early after that nerve trying day, and he hoped they were all sleep. ing off the recollection of its trials. Seth was affectionately minded to spare them every unnecessary pang, and if they knew he was ‘‘footing it’’ out there in the chill darkness some of them would ‘‘fret over it.’’ There was no suggestion of the hero in Seth Martin’s personality at the best. Heroes do not slouch through the ob- scure byways of the world on shambling feet and with down dropped head. Pride of record lifts their heads above the earthworm’s trail. But Seth had mo record to be proud of. Destiny had assigned him this posi- tion as keeper of the home. It had not been his choice. He should never be able to quite forget what he suffered when all of the ‘‘men folks’’ had turn- ed their faces from Sans Souci, leaving him and old Dolbear ‘‘to keep things together.’’ How much easier to have gone into the fight! With all his might he had been ‘‘keeping things together.’’ Dol- bear was his only counselor. It would never do to fret the women with such wearisome details. For them always the ready ingenuity, the patient smile, the enconraging note, struck from his own despairing soul with such deter- mined elasticity as to carry comfort epite of ite false ring.

A formidable array it looked to the ill clad, shoeless, unarmed watcher on the veranda, their belted jackets weighted with formidable holsters, their visored caps gleaming dully from out the gloom. The squad halted abruptly at the foot of the steps to reconnoiter the barred and darkened front of the governor’s mansion. “They must go to roost with the chickens in these diggin’s,’’ said the leader of the little band. ‘‘ What o’clock was it when we left town, corp?’’ ‘‘Nigh on to ’leven,’’ the corporal answered with a yawn, ‘‘and we've been.a good hour on the road.”’ Clo be Gontinued.)
