A Startling Discovery.

A Startling Discovery.
1t was night.
1t was also Sunday night. A gentle
summer zephyr was kissing the %leafless
trees and blossomless vines, and assur-
ing them softlyi in liquid tones that spring
had come. An occasional tree or vine
took exception to the statement, and
Infatuated by a shake of a branch or
two that the zephyr was ~endeavoring to
stuff them, but the majority of them be-
lieved it, and were happy in consequences.
And we'll might they be. Nature
seemed at her best. The air was cool,
and soft, and moist, and pleasantly de-
llghtful. An occasional spring bird
twittered "~ta-ra-ra," and a belated feline
struck the opening notes of a classical
symphony in G fat. The night in
short, was grand-magnifcent.
Far adown the avenue might have
been discovered a young man, with
brilliant eye and elastic step, who
walked rapidly eastward from the busy
thoroughfares of the capital city. His
bearing was in perfect accord with the
evening. His spring hat was tilted back
jauntily, displaying a classic forehead,
about which his wavy brown hair was
tossed back and forth by the gently
blowing breeze. A sweet smile played
upon his lips, nov and thea disappear
ing into n side of his d~elicately
nodded mouth and making it's reappear-
ance from the other side. He whistled
with a mellow sweetness, which charmed
into silence the total number of dogs
and cats within range Of his hearing.
He seemed without a care in the entire
world.
But suddenly he stopped short, a look
OF W and reverence passed over his
c%ountenance, and he looked intently at
the sidewalk just ahead of him. Closer
he gazed and then he shaded his eyes
with his hand and looked
again. The look of amazement
which rested upon each one of his
features IN turn grew more pronounced,
and he grew pale about the lips. His
eyes were distended and the whistle
with which he had been amusing him
self took advantage of his pre-occupa.
ton and made it's escape. What strange
sight was this which so affected him?
Slowly he ventured forward, his gaze
still riveted upon the sidewalk ahead.
Again he stopped and again he moved
slowly forward. Great drops of cold
sweat stood out upon his forehead, and
then dropped to the sidewalk, maxi
ing deep indentations therein. His hair
stood on end, and he shivered az with
ague.
But again he moved forward. Inch
by inch he progressed, until at length
he stood within foot Of the sight which
impressed him 81 pronouncedly. Could
it be-was it possible-but yes, there be-

which had been there long enough to
have proved up. He looked further and
saw another and another, until he

places. Then his whole frame relaxed,
and he fell in a dead faint. The shock
had been too sudden and violent for one

withstand.
There are sarsaparlllas and sarsa-
parillas; but if you are not careful in
your purchase, the disease you wish to
cure will only be intensified. Be sure
you get Ayers Sarsaparilla and no other.
