DR.. J. r. Jordan.
On June the 6th My mother was taken
with sciatic rheumatism. Her sufseyings
were something awful to behold. She
couldn't move hand or foot for over three
months. When we would move her hand
We would have 20 move IL 30 very slowly,
ard then Ii caused such intense pain You
could hear her scream al over the house.
We thought she was going to die and We
tried dscfor after doctar. ard medicines Of
all kinds and descriptions. all to no avail.
Finally, hearing OF your Histogenctic
Medicines We consulted you in regard to
her. che commenced the treatment and
began to improve very soon. Within a
week she was up and now she Is AZ well as
she ever wns. No amount Of money
could induce me to go through the sanse
amount OF suffering that she did, ] would
rather die any time.
make this statement for the byneft of
others who are suffering In the Same way,
as know we owe my mother y life to your

the elbow of the peak. md her rars stole

the elbow Of the peak, and her rays stole
far and wide down the misty valley,
cleaning on the water brooding on the
plain, searching out the hidden places
OF the rocks, wrapping the fair form of
nature as in silver bridal vail through
which her beauty shone myster1ously.
Stella looked down the terraced val.
ley; she turned and looked up at the
SCARED face Of the golden moon, and
then she looked at me. The beauty of
the night was about her face, the scent
of the night was on her hair, the mys-
terry of the night shone in her Swallowed
eyes. She looked at me, I looked at her,
and all our hearts love blossomed with
in US. We spoke no word-we had no
words to speak, but slowly we drew near,
till lips were pressed to lips as we kissed
our eternal troth.
1t was she who broke that holy si-
lence, speaking in changed voice, in
soft deep notes that thrilled me like
the lowest chords of smitten harp
''Ah, now l understand" she said.
Snow know why We are lonely, and
how We can lose our loneliness Now I
know what it is that stirs US in the
beauty of the sky, in the sound of water
and in the scent of flowers. 1t is love
that speaks in every thing, but till We
hear his voice we understand nothing.
But when We hear, then the riddle is
answered, and the gates of our heart
are opened, and, Allan, we see the way
that wends through death to Heaven,
and is lost in the glory of which our love
is but shadow.
Let US GO in, Allan. Let US go be-
fore the spell breaks, SO that whatever
comes to us, sorrow, death or separa-
tons We may always have this perfect
memory to save u.s."
rose like a man in dream, still
holding her by the hand. But as rose
my eye fell upon something that
cleaned white among the foliage Of the
orange bush by my side. l said nothing,
but looked. The breeze stirred the or
ange leaves, the moonlight struck for
moment full upon the white object
1t was the face of Hendrika, the bah
yan-woman, as Indaba-zimbi had called
her, and on it was glare of hate that
made me shudder.
said nothing; the face vanished, and
just then I heard baboon bark in the
rocks behind.
Then we went down the garden, and
Stella passed into the center hut. / saw
Hendrika standing in the shadow near
the door, and went up to her.
"Hendrika," 1 said, 'why were you
watching Miss Stella and myself in the
garden?"
She drew her lips up till her teeth
cleaned in the moonlight.
Have l not watched her these many
years, Macumazahn? Shall / cease to
watch her because a wandering white
man comes to steal her? Why were you
kissing her in the garden, Macama-
zahn? How dare you kiss her who is a
star?'
Il kissed her because I love her. and
because she loves me- I answered.
''What has that to do with you, Hen
drika?"

he could do so without my knowledge.
One day about a year ago an express
wagon unloaded model of a patent gate
at the barn, and soon thereafter Mr..
Bowser came home in an excited and en-
thusiastic state of mind, and said to me:
Don't scream, or faint away, or fall
over any thing or break an arm, but be

TAKE HEART OF GRACE.

% Take heart Of grace, I'd often heard,
And dwelt upon the final word,
Determined to assert my claim
II one met who bore that name.
The years went on-alackaday!
And many maidens came my way
Ida and Fanny, Bess and Kate
But none with whom cared to mate.
It seemed that spirits of the air
Pursued me daily everywhere,
And piped aloud in many place:
Take heart-take heart-take heart of
grace!''
All, well knew that this was meant
To keep me free from discomfort
And aid me in my search through life
For what needed most-a wife.
And il with patience we agree
To yield control to destiny,
And wait her counsels, sure as fate,
Reward will follow soon or late.
And SO we met, but Grace was shy,
And looked with cold, averted eye,
Nor could tell-ah, sad my lott
Whether she had heart or not.
Until one day, when in a mood
OF dark dependency stood,
Grace kindly said: Take heart,''-then
hushed
Her voice, and very sweetly blushed-
The hour had come for which sighed!

" May indeed take heart Of GrAce:''
I read my answer in her face,
And clasped her in fond embrace.

KILLING A Niger.
1t Was the Bounden Duty of a White
Man with q Grievance.

1t Was the BOunden Duty OF white
Man with q Grievance.
There were half dozen of us at the
railroad station at Erin, Tenn, when an
old man rode up on mule at slashing
gallop, and cried:
.'Some Of you all lend me a gun or a
pistol right quick"
Naturally enough we inquired what
was the trouble. and he bobbed around
On his saddle and replied:
Il want to kill niger who has in
suited me-"
None Of US had fire-arm, and aftert
few minutes the man cooled down con.
siderably. Then l asked him how the
niger had insulted him, and he re-
piled:
II was comm along to town and I
met niger whom knowed. Says 1:
"'Nigger Joe, kin We lend me dol
lar?'
'''Can't lend yo' no dollar. Marse
George he replied.
"'Why?' says l.
"'Kase you dun owe me two dollars

Think of it, stranger-think OF a
niger dunning a white man right in
broad daylight. Think of his refusing
me dollar when he knows Fun good

back and choke him TO death"
1T must make your blood boil"
Blood! Bile! Why, sir, I'm on
fire! I've got to kill him-got to do it!
And, by the way. if you could lend me-
half dollar to buy powder and buck
shot know where kin borrow gun.
You must realize how necessary it is to
kill that niger"
let him have the money, and he rode
off about three hundred feet, hitched his
mule, and slid into saloon, and little
later we could hear him pounding on a
table and shouting:

how. He's got to have it, and he's gcs to

''Hss any farmer seen itT' asked.
''NOt yet; but three or four Of them
will be up pretty soon, and / have no
doubt that every one will order q mile

Three solid looking agriculturists put
in an appearance after awhile. They
gave the model careful looking over,
and then one of them took out a pencil,
and said:
Its mighty purity fence. and it viii

cost
The result Of the figuring proved that
it would take about the value Of an av-
erage farm to fence it with that sort Of
fence, and the model is upstairs in the
barn to-day
Among Mr.. Bowser's investments was
a patent gate spring. He brought the
sample home under his arm, having
bought the State right to manufacture
and sell. and he was hardly in the house
before he said:
Mrs. Bowser, will you have the kind
ness to make some figures for me? Put
down l.i2S.26O. Now multiply that by
60. The totals is cents; you will divide
by 100 to get it into dollars.
Its over $3.50, OOO," replied.

roared out:

CHAPTER TX


It is very difficult for me to describe
the period which elapsed between my
arrival at Babyan's Peak and my mar
rage with Stella. When look back on
it it seems sweet as with the odor OF
flowers and dim as with the happy dusk
of summer ewes, while through the
sweetness comes the sound of Stella's
voice and through the gloom shines the
starlight of her eyes. I think that we
loved each other from the first, though
for awhile we said no word Of love. Day
by day 1 went about the place with her,
accompanied by little Tota and Hen
drika only, while she attended to the
thousand and one matters which her IA
theirs ever-growing weakness had laid
upon her; or, rather, as time drew on, l
attended to the business and she &C
companied me. All day through we
were together. Then after supper, when
the night had fallen, we would walk to-
gether in the garden and come in at
length to hear her father read aloud,
sometimes from the works of poet,
sometimes from history, or, if he did
not feel well, Stella would read, and
when this was done Mr.. Carson would
celebrate short form of prayer, and
we would separate till the morning
once more brought our happy hour of
meeting.
So the weeks went by, and with every
week I grew to know my darling better.
Often, wonder now, if my fond fancy
deceives me, or if indeed there are
women as sweet and dear as she. Was
it solitude that had given such depth
and gentleness to her? Was it the long
years of communing with nature that
had endowed her with such peculiar
grace, the grace we find in opening
flowers and budding trees? Had she
caught that murmuring voice from the
sound of the streams that fall contin
ually about her rocky home? Was it
the tenderness Of the evening sky be-
meath which she loved to walk that lay
like shadow on her face, and the light
Of the evening stars that shone in her

THE EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.

Some OF the DOinSS OF the Men Who
Work at Figures.
The expert accountant is one of the
necessities Of modern civilization. He
knows all the intricacies of figures and
account books. He is indispensable to
the great corporations. He can take
great masses of books and evolve ball
ance sheet. He complies reports; he adj
justs averages for the insurance COM
panies, he is called in to settle the bust
ness arrangements of railroads and stock
companies, and gets order out of chaotic
masses of figures. He knows how to
make annual reports look attractive,
and not unfrequently makes ugly &C
counts look straight.
One of the most important functions
defaulters. 1t often happens that bust
ness men find their affairs getting en-
tangled. They know they have been
making money; but, somehow, they are
running behind. They have relied upon
some trusted book-keeper. So far as
they can see the books are all right,
but the results are unsatisfactory. They
do not like to suspect the trusted serv-
ant, but they want to be satisfied.
The expert accountant is called in with
great secrecy and ordered to go over the
books at night. Then the exposure
comes; the crooked accounts are ex-
posed; the forced balance is shown up;
the amount of the defalcation is set
down in plain figures.
1t is surprising how many concerns
there are doing large business who are
absolutely dependent upon their book
keepers, and are utterly helpless to find
out exactly where the trouble is, al
though they may be convinced that
something is wrong. The expert &C
countant may strike it at the first
glance. He may delve for weeks before
he reaches the solution. He learns
lots of secrets, but is dumb as an oyster,
and keeps his discoveries only for the
ear of the employer. If he is kind-heart-
ed he advises the defaulter to pay up
before the exposure comes. There arc
number of expert accountants in New
York who make business of unravel-
ing tough accounts. Their charges are
high, but they are in great demand. 1t
is said to be almost an invariable rule
that when an expert accountant is
called in to go over cooked account
books the culprit will own up and help
in getting a correct statement--N. Y.
Sun.

fool, but it takes sharp man to make
money for himself. Come out to the
barn"
( followed him out, and when he had
placed the model in the alley and
arranged certain parts to his satisfac-
ton, he said:
This is the Climax farm gate, covered
by three different patents. 1 have
bought the right to the State Of Michi-
gan for $500. You see the idea? This
rope leading out on either side of the
post is to be pulled by any one wishing
to pass through. See? Farmer doesn't
have to get down off his load of hay,
just gives a yank-gate representatives,
through-gate sbuts-goose hangs
high"
''But-but-r'
There's no but about it, Mrs. Bow
ser. Let's figure bit. Well say there
are $4,000 farmers in the State. Each
one wants five of these gates, making
25O,0O gates in all. Each gate can be put
in for SIS and the profit is s.. This gives
me S1,2JlOOO. Well allow $4,000 for
bad debts and we have cool $1,000, 900
to put in our pockets. Isn't that good
margin on S5OO?"
do you know that the farmers will
buy this gate?''
Buy it! Why, they are crying for it
all over the State! l expect to be at
least a thousand orders behind. the best
l can do
We'll. hope it will be success.
but
There you go! Always ready to
throw cold water on any of my enter
prises! If brought you a solid chunk
Of gold you'd do your best to make out
that it was nothing but brick!'
An hour later couple of sturdy old
farmers came up at Mr.. Bowser's invita-
ton to see the patent, and l sneaked
out to one side to hear what they might
say. Mr.. Bowser exhibited the gate.
went over his figures, and then asked
what they thought of it.
What's it for?" they asked.
''Why, to save a farmer from getting
down off a load of hay or off his wagon"
'.Um, Yes.'
''Isn't it good thing?"
"Mebbe.''
But it must be. Can't you see the con-
venience at glance. The farmer
doesn't have to get down.
NO. see he don't. and he's burned
idiot. He'd better git down a thousand
times than to pay So for that gate!
What's he there for bat to git down.
He's got lots of time to git down and
climb up again"
In about ten minutes they knocked
the underpinning away and let Mr..
Bowser down with dull thu1. He
didn't let go altogether, however, until
after he had taken the model to the
hay-market and secured further opin-
ions. One of the last farmers to ex-
anime it turned to Mr.. Bowser with:
If We want to catch the farmer, in
vent sunthin' that will fodder the stock
and feed the hogs sfore daylight on
winters morning. Might make the
same invention bring wheat up to So a
mill and pay of the mortgage on his
farm"
It wasn't long before Mr.. Bowser in
vested in a patent farm-fence. The
model showed three boards and twc
lines Of wire to a section, and he
bought six county rights at about 500
each. He came home on a trot, brimful
of enthusiasm. and as he took me out
to see the model he explained:

quiet eyes? At the least to me she was
the realization Of the dream which
haunts the sleep Of sin-stained men; so
my memory paints her, so hope to find
her when at last the sleep has rolled
away and the fevered dreams are done.
At last there came a day-the most
blessed of my life, when We told our
love. We had been together all the
morning, but after dinner Mr.. Carson
was so unwell that Stella stopped in
with him. Atsupper we met again, and
after supper, when she had put little
Tota, to whom she had grown much at
tached, to bed, We went out, leaving Mr..
Carson DOING on the couch. The night
was warm and lovely, and without
speaking we walked up the garden to
the orange grove and sat down there
upon rock. There was little breeze
which shook the petals of the orange
bloom over US in showers, and bore their
delicate fragrance far and wide. Silence
reigned around, broken only by the
sound of the falling waterfalls that now
died to faint murmur, and now, as the
wavering breeze turned, doomed loudly
in our ears. The moon was not yet Wis
ible, but already the dark clouds that
floated through the sky above us-for
there had been rain-showed a glow of
silver, telling Us that she shone brightly
behind the peak. Stella began to talk
in her low, gentle voice, telling me of
her life in the wilderness, how she had
grown to love it, how her mind had gone
on from idea to idea, and how she pict-
ured the great rushing world that She
had never seen as it was reflected to her
from the books which she had read. 1t
was curious vision of life that she had;
things were out of proportion in it; it
was more like a dream than reality
a mirage than the actual face of things.
The idea OF great cities, and especially
of London, had kind of fascination for
her; she could scarcely realize the rush,
the roar and hurry, the hard crowds of
men and women, strangers each to each,
fevsrishly seeking for wealth and pleas
ure beneath murky sky, and treading
one another down in the fury of their
competition.
What is it all for?' she asked,
earnestly. what do they seek? Hav-
ing so few years to live, why do they
waste them thus?"
1 told her that in the majority of in
stances it was actual hard necessity that
drove them on, but she could scarcely
realize it. Living as she had done in
the midst of the teeming plenty of the
fruitful earth, she did not seem to
understand that there are millions who
from day to day know not how to stay
their hunger.
81 never want to go there" she went
on. 81 should be bewildered and fright
ened to death. 1t is not natural to live
like that. God put Adam and Eve in
garden, and that is how He meant their
children to live-in peace, and looking
always on beautiful things. This is
my idea of perfect life. want no other"
81 thought that you once told me that
you found it lonely" said
$50 did, (" she answered, innocently.
'fbut that was before you came. Now /
am not lonely any more. and it is per
fect-perfect as the night"
Just then the full moon arose above
