"who! Miss Maitlandr' exclaimed
Perry, with q sudden start and flash Of
eager light In his blue eyes.
Even SMILED quietly az he answered.
YES She needed exercise and wanted
TO come down 10 the gate and meet DR..
Quin. She went on TIP the valley, and
Iwonder che is not back"
The bright light faded quickly as It
came; the glad blue eyes cloudcd heavi.
ly. Even looked at the young soldier,
surprise in his forid faces surprise that
quickly dcepened into concern, for Perry
turned suddenly away, as though look
ing for his comrades Of the hunt.
II think they're coming now said
the manager, peerin& up the valley un-
der the shading willows. "Yes. Won't
you stop n bity'
mot now" was the hurried reply.
"Thank you for that story; 1t has given
me lot to think about. Ill see you
again." The last words were almost
shouted back, for. urged by sudden dig
OF the spur, Nolan indignantly lashed
his heels, then rushed in wrathful gallop
towards the eastern bluffs. 1t was no
willful pang his rider had inflicted on his
pet and comrade; It was onlyfhe invol-
untary transmission Of the shock to his
own young heart--a cruel, jealous stab,
that came with those thoughtless words,
"She wanted to come down to the gate
and meet DIR. Quin. and went on up the
valley" lie would not even look back
and see her riding by that mans side.

Yaricose Veins.

To the Nolandine Combany.
Permit me to add my testimony to the
curative properties of Nolandine.
For many years | have suffered from
varicose veins. Twelve m onths ago I
struck my leg against a chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus
made could not be healed except for a
short time; then break out afresh. At
times 1 suffered untold misery from To-
cal fever and most insuferable burning
sensation. After using two (2) bottles
of your "Vegetable Nolardine" the
liberated places healed, the swelling
natural sleep was restored,
and my nervous system composed.
AS a ver1nifuge, Nolandine acted spc-
officially on one of my children. AS
blood purifier and general tonic, your
Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully
yours, d. B. PROSSER,
at sos Main street, Richmond, Va.

About two years ago took your "No-
1andine"; since then my health has
been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat in moderation now food that
two years ago I dared not touch. At the
same time was afflicted with adisease,
believe, of the skin; for the last fif-
teen years it has been a plague to me.
It invariably made its appearance in
February and lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until I
was compelled to scratch, then a little
pi1nple, not as large as pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. have laid many cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. I have not
felt it since taking your valuable "No-
1andine," which was taken for dyspep-
STA, and I believe that it has cured me
of that plague. l write this to show you
have been cured by your valuable
"Nolandine," invaluable to me. owe
you many thanks. do not write this
for publication, but if you think it may
benefit any of our fellow-tnen similarly
afflicted, you may use it as you think
proper. Very respectfully,

All these men. SO. 600. more or less hay

All these men. so, 900, more or less, have
had the benefit of wages which have
kept pace with the ruling prices of iron,
and what is more they have had the ben
eft OF full time almost the year through
Only few of the furnaces went out of
blast from April to July, and all are in
blast now. In furnace wages there has
been an advance of 10 per cent, and the
advance in steel-workers' wages and in
all the other branches has been equal to
the advance in price.
Joseph Wharton, one of the best au-
thorities in the State, voiced the hope
full view on Saturday when he said: at
has not been a good year for the manu-
facturer, because prices have ruled low,
but the amount of business is exceed
ingly satisfactory and the outlook is
good. The present has not only been
marked by a good demand, but by an
Improvement in iron plants. Furnaces
have been enlarged and their capacity
has been improved by the most modern
appliances, until the standard of the mills
of Pennsylvania exceeds that of Eng
land, Germany, or any foreign country.
At the same time iron workers have had
steady work and their wages advance

RICHMOND, VA, October I, 1886.
To zOhom it may concern:
For twelve months I was fearful suf-
ferer from chronic eczema, during
which time I was in the hands of a most
skilful physician, faithfully using his
remedies, internal and external, with
out deriving any benefit whatever. I
suffered night and day with the most in
tolerable itching, continuous headache,
loss of sleep, appetite and strength.
My kidneys and nervous system were
fearfully deranged, and my body was
covered with innumerab1e boils. By
taking three (3) bottles ofJOHNSTON'S
VEGETABLE NOLANDINE 1 have
been restored to perfect health. re-
gard Nolandine as the best blood puri-
fer, and the most powerful tonic ever
compounded, and l am not alone in
this belief. Very respectfully yours, &C.,
