Tt is often difficult to convince peo- ple their blood is impure, until dread- ful cerbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof- ula ov salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when- ever there is any indication of impure blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and prevent such eruptions and suffering. “\ had a dreadful carbuncle abscess, red, fiery, flerce and sore. The doctor at- tended me over seven weeks. When the abscess broke, the pains were terrible,and I thought I should not live through it. I heard and read so much about Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and my husband, who was suffering with boils, took it also. It soon purified our Blood built me up and restored my health so that, although the doctor said I would mot be able to work hard, I have since done the work for 20 people. Hood’s Sar- saparilla cured my husband of the boils, and we regard it a wonderful medicine.” Mus. ANNA PETERSON, Latimer, Kansas. Hoods Sarsaparilla fs the One True Blood Purifier.

Blood is not a simple fluid like water. It is made up of minute bodies and vhen these are deficient, the vlood lacks the life-giving principle. Scott’s Emulsion is not a mere blood purifier. It actually increases the number of the red corpuscles in the blood and changes ynhealthy action into health.

BY A. CONAN DOYLE At these evil tiding old John sprane uy the cottage, where returning to his and hurried over to he met the physician brougham. “How your patient, asked in a trembling voice, ‘Very bad, very bad,’’ said the man of medicine pompously. “If she continues to sink she will be in great danger; but if, cdoctor?”’ he is ym the other hand, she takes a turn, it is possible that she may recove pe? 6 With vhich oracular answer he drove away in » cloud of dust. : John Huxford was still hesitating at the doorway, not knowing how nounce himself, or how fara shock might be dangerous to the sufferer, when a rentleman in black came bustling up. ‘*Can you tell me, my man, if this is where the sick woman is?’’ he asked. John nodded, and the clergyman passed to @n- in, leaving the door half open. The wan- lerer waited until ke had gone into the nner room, and then slipped into the ront parlor, where he had spent so many happy hours. All was tho same as ever, flown to the smallest ornaments,for Mary had been in the habit whenever anything was broken of replacing it with a cupli- so that there might be no change in the r He stood irresolute, looking ibous him, until heard. %» Woman’s voice from the inner chamber, and steal- ing t» the door he peeped in. Th invalid was reclining upon 2 couch, propped up with pillows, and her face was turnel full toward Johnas he looked round the door. He could have cried cut as his eyes rested upon it, for there werc CE hn ie, OTL he Mary’s pale, plain, sweet homely features as smooth and as unchanged as though she were still the half child, half woman whom he had pressed to his heart on thr Brispert Her calm, eventless, un- 14 x} life had left rene of those rude BCLIS ii¢ oe which are quay. ‘races upon hcr countenance the outward emblems of internz! conflict and an unqguiect soul. A chaste melan- choly had refined and softened her ex- pression, and her loss of sight had been compensated for by that placidity which comes upon the faces of the blind. With het silvery hair peeping out beneath her snow-white cap, ani a bright smile upon her sympethetic face, was the old mary imyp.oved and developed, with some- thing ethereal and angelic supcra? ced. ‘You will keep a tenant in the cot- tage,’’ she was saying to the clergyman, who sat with his back turned to the ob- server. ‘‘Choose some poor deserving folk in the parish who will be glad of a home she free. And when he comes you will tell him that I have waited for him until I have been forced to go on, but that he will find me on the other side still faith- ful and true. There’s a little money too —only a few pounds—but I should like him‘to have it when he comes, for he may need it, and then you will tell the folk you put in to be kind to him, for he will be grieved, poor lad, and to tell him that I was cheerful and happy up to the end. Don’t let him know that I ever fretted, or he may fret too.’’ Now John listened quietly to all this from behind the door, and more than once he had to put his hand to his throat, but when she had finished, and when he thought of her long, blameless, innocent life, and saw the dear face looking straight at him, and yet unable to see him, it became too much for his man- hood, and he burst out into an_ irrepres- sible, choking sob which shook his very frame. And then occurred a_ strange thing, for though he had spoken no word, the old woman stretched out her arms to him, and cried, ‘‘Oh, Johnny, Johnny! Oh, dear, dear Johnny, you have come back to me again,’’ and before the parson could at all understand what had _ hap- pened, those two faithful lovers were in each other’s arms, weeping over each other, and patting each other's silvery head, with their hearts so full of joy that it almost compensated for all that weary fifty years of waiting. It is hard to say how long they re- joiced tegether. It seemed a very short time to them and a very long one to the reverend gentleman, who was thinking at last of stealing away, when Mary re- collected his presence and the courtesy which was due to him. ‘‘ My heart is fuil of joy, sir,’’ she said; ‘‘it is God’s will that I should not see my Johnny, but I can call his image up as clear as if I had my eyes. Now stand up, John, and I will let the gentleman see how well I remember you. He is as tall, sir, as the second shelf, as straight as an arrow, his face brown, and his eyes bright and clear. His hair is well-nigh black, and his mustache the same—I shouldn’t wonder if he had whiskers as well by this time. Now, sir, don’t you think I can do with- out my sight?’’ The clergyman listened to her description, and looking at the battered, white-haired man _ before him, he hardly knew whether to laugh or to cry. But it all proved to be a laughing miat- tr in the end, for, whether it was that her illness had taken some natural turn, or that John’s return had startled it away, it is certain that from that day Mary steadily improved until she was as well as ever. ‘‘No special license for me,’’ John had said sturdily. ‘‘It looks as if we were ashamed of what we are doing, as though we hadn’t the best right to be married of any two folk in the parish.”’ So the bans were put up accordingly, and three times it was announced that John Huxford, bachelor, was going to be uni- ted to Mary Howden, spinster, after which, no one objecting, they were duly married accordingly. ‘‘We may not have very long in this world,”’ said old John, “but at least we shall start fair and square in the nest.”’ Johns’s share in the Quebec business was sold out, and gave rise to a very in- teresting legal question as to whether, knowing that his name was Huxford, he could still sign that of Hardy, was necessary for the completion of the busi- ness. lt was decided, however, that on his preducing two trustworthy witnesses to his identity all would be right, so the property was duly realized and produced a very handsome fortune. Part of this John devoted to building a pretty villa as just outside Brisport, and .the heart of rerrace learned the proprietor of Beren Within him when he cottage was at last to be abandoned an that it would no longer break the syn metry and impair the effect of aristocratic mansions, And there in sitting out on the lawn in the time, and on either side of the the winter, that worthy old fire i and that the love which burned aged hearts was as high and as to the altar. try round, if ever man in distress and fighting against har times, they had only to go up to th Villa to receive help, and that sympath which is more precious than help. when at last John and Mary fell aslee or of each other, they had all the poor an among their mourners, and in talkin over the troubles which these two ha faced so bravely, they or the next.
