buried last January.
"The paron is mistaken, if he will
pardon me for saying so. 1t was my
little girl who died Was it not so,
Spiro?
Spiro confirmed Antonio's statement,
like loyal brother who is afraid of no
fraternal lie, and Mr.. Mildmay had not
the heart to trouble the sufferer with
any more doubts of his veracity.
Antonio was duly confessed and re-
ceived absolution. 'Did you tell the
father about the candlcs?" whispered
Spiro after the priest had gone
81 thought " answered Antonio,
that perhaps the Madonna had not yet
that it would not be wise to tell her of
it just as one is going where she is"
In the early morning Antonio died
with the smile of an innocent little
child on his face. II have served the
dear paron faithfully" he said just as
he died. 81 know he will take care of
my wife and child, and he will take
Spiro as his gondolier.
Mr.. Mildmay religiously carried out
Antonio's dying request He installed
Spiro in the place of the dead man, and
he settled an annuity on Zanze, the dis
consulate widow. He gave Antonio a
grave all to himself in San Michele and
a beautiful white marble tombstone,
with the epitaph, Brave, Faithful and
Honest. " He came to know somewhat
later how Antonio had enriched himself
at his expense, but he said to his wife:
"After all, my dear, Antonio was
strictly honest according to his own
code. think have known some Eng

IT'S WORTH 1T.

You'd have to be rich to pay $1,000 a
bottle for Aliens Sarsaparilla, but here's
man who says it is we'll worth that
sum. Read what he writes regarding
this famous remedy.
KENNEBUNK, Me. l cannot express
too forcibly the gratitude l feel for what
Aliens Sarsaparilla has done for me. l
am now 76 years old, and for sixty years
I have suffered from Acute Rheumatism.
At the age of 10 contracted this terri
BILE disease by exposure, and it has clung
to me all my life. The disease was
mostly in my right hip and back. I
have suffered terribly at times, so much
SO that in ten minutes it would seem as
though suffered the agones of life
time. Doctors and medicine seemed to
do no good until this spring, when
bought bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla
for my blood. 1t is a wonderful medi.
cine. 1t seemed as though could feel
it going through every vein, and before
I had taken half bottle could feel the
rheumatism leaving me. Now l have
taken but one bottle and am free from
the disease for the first time in sixty
years. ! am cured. One thousand
dollars would not cover the value of this
one bottle of Aliens Sarsaparilla to me.

although / have always been a strong,
tough man, had to give up work. My
skin was all covered with blotches. The
doctors here said it was eczema. They
treated me, but in vain. kept growing

Aliens Sarsaparilla, and said he knew

THE STATION AGENT SPEAKS.

Salt Rheum is very uncomfortable
disease, and is very obstinate and hard
to cure. Mr.. c. E. Keys, Station Agent
at the Maine Central Railroad at Rock
land, who is so we'll known that his tes-
timony is valuable, was cured of his
Salt Rheum by Aliens Sarsaparilla.
RoCKLAND, Me. GenHemen;- wish
to give my testimonial for Aliens Sarsa-
parilla, as it has cured me of very dis
agreeable disease. / had Salt Rheum
all over my hands, and could get nothing
to help me, until began using Aliens
Sarsaparilla, had not taken it but
short time when the disease began to
disappear. BY the time l had taken one
bottle was all we'll, and have seen no
signs of it since. Since taking your
valuable medicine have been in perfect

A prophet is not without honor save in
his own country, and philosopher or group
of philosophers are rarely if ever appreciate
ed by the ordinary mob. The truth of these
aphorisms is illustrated by an incident
which occurred recently in the Grand Cen
trail station
Three gentlemen stood chatting there
while waiting for "A train, when one, glanc-
ing down, noticed at his feet two-thirds OF
a cigarette.
All" said he, "the lady came early
earlier than expected, and the fellow had
no opportunity to finish his smoke"
NO" remarked another. 1.-THE chances
are that she was late in keeping the ap-
pointment lie thought he would smoke
just one more and then give waiting up as
a bad job. But she came before he had
taken half dozen draws"
II believe you are both wrong" said the
third. This is a case without lady. He
was either Il beginner and couldn't stand
any more or he dropped it by accident and
was too proud to pick it up"
Each one of the three men was sure his
speculation was right, or at least argued in
support Of it. And what fruitful source
of argument three-quarters of n cigarette
will furnish ii the persons have sufficient
intelligence to sustain the trend Of thought
At short distance from the group were
two other philosophers, boys under Is,
given to speculation. They watched the
animated conversation and observed that
the gentlemen pointed in the direction Of an
unfinished cigarette.
After brief interval one of them said;
tom, do you see them three gentsy What
ails emp
Muffin. They're lightin over bit of a
Rrasshopper. Tryin ter eide which'll have
fust smoke. / knows them dudes. They're
proud but a cigarette fetches em every

win her
She wasn't fool by a great deal, and
that made it % per cent more difficult for

one evening, "that long before | ever saw
YOU fate had directed me to you"
"Iudeed?' she responded, so sincerely
that his heart beat faster, and her face
blushed at the compliment.
"Yes, and it came about in a remarkable
way. Just for fun one day | consulted an
astrologist, and she told me that | would
never care for any woman until ! had met
one, who was then only "a schoolgirl, n
beautiful golden haired creature, with won
derful brown eyes, whose home was toward
the setting sun. | laughed at the proph-
ecy, but found the words of the seer were
true, for never cared for any woman until

Then he stopped, embarrassed and palpi-
tating, thinking she would fall into his
arms
/ But she did not. On the contrary, she
snickered.

spoke of a golden haired schoolgirl" she
asked.
