Forgive youl Why, gal, you've

The crowd of miners surge toward
Cheyenne Rude hands grasp and
handle roughly the man who dares to
insult woman on her wedding day.
Pistols are drawn. There is the muffied
report of a shot at close quarters The
voice of Castella is heard above the
noise and scuff1e:
Don't hurt him, boys. Please don't
fer my sake. He's clar gone mad, and
don't know what he says
The rough hands reluctantly loose
their hold. 'Cheyenne's' right arm
hangs helpless by hisside. Blood drips
from his sleeve and forms a shining
pool on the floor. Gap" Woods steps

..Boys, it shall be as my gal sez. Thar

particular occasion. That amt my

Three brawny miners do the ejecting.
He realizes that he now holds losing
hand, but mutters that the game is
not out. 2 The door swiftly closes, and
the disturber of harmony finds himself
lying in the snow, baf1ed and beaten,
with one arm perforated by a bullet.
He lies there and listens. The violinist
is once more endeavoring to make the
old masters turn in their graves The
sound of boots shuffiing over the floor
can be heard. The dance goes merrily
on. He wonders If Castella does not
reproach, herself for her faithlessness.
AS If in answer, he hears a siivery5
laugh. How well he knows that laugh.
He can imagine Castel1a throwing back
her queenly head and showing her
pretty teeth. He groans in his anguish.
Then the spirit of the Indian, which
has long slept within him, awakens.
With an effort he rises to his feet. His
anguish turns to rage. He shakes the
fist of his good hand at the shanty.
"Laugh on, Castella Woods, he
shouts, ssbut beware of the Indian.
You've let them turn Cheyenne from
your door like homeless cur. wuz

The rising wind takes up his wild
words and carries them down the cam

His hand drops to his side and he
staggers forward toward the shantY
where joy reigns supreme. He does
not enter, but passes it by with mutt
tered curse. He will net openly take
his revenge. Like the true Indian, he
will strike IN the dark. The rain of

CempIexity OF tho Scientific Principle ln-
sz s0Iycd In Skate Making. & sss
& Considerable time and ingenuity have
been expended in the effort TO pro-
duce a form of skate which will COM
bine slightness and convenience of
arrangement with great speed. The
scientific principle involved in this
work is far more complex than is gen
orally supposed, and makes very in
teresting. study. Speed in skating Isl,
of course, attained by the proper ap-.
plication of every particle of motive
power. When the skater strikes out
with his foot he does not, however, as
is generally supposed, obtain momen--
tum from the broad-side pressure of
the skate on the ice. The momentum
is gained by q gradual and taperingl
pressure. which commences at the:
head of the skate, since it is here that
the freshest and strongest force is APP
piled. It will be seen that the mo1nen-
tum is Increased. therefore, by the
pressure exerted steadily and firmly
outward from the heel of the:skate to
the extreme toe. The proper way to
attain great speed is to strike out each
foot as close TO the other as possible, to
continue the stroke up to the toe, and
when once the extreme motive power
is passed to get the other foot IN posi-
ton as quickly as possible. The prime
factors in producing speed, it will be
seen, are the full pressure on the ice
and the rapid movement Of the legs.
Working upon this theory, d long,
heavy skate has been manufactured,
with d. blade which extends several
inches. beyond the foothold. Scientific

TO THE POINT.
The Evidence Answers YiIdI
Questions.

The evidence which DIR. SpPoRle has
presented to the public for the past
month, is of such a,character as not only
to convince the nl6ss increduloRs OF his
skill in the treatment of disease, but also
satisfies and inspires faith, because the
patients themselves, (your friends and
neighbors) who have been rescued by
this physician and surgeon, from con-
dition of desperation and hopelessness,
brought on by the repeated failure of 9TH
er physicians in whom they had been
accustomed to place confidence, have de-
scribed their symptoms and testified 20
the thoroughness and reliability of their
cures. Very manv have come without
hope lin many instances TO satisfy the
desire of friends) and be cured. The
short statements presented to-day are In
tended TO convey in the briefest manner
possible the symptoms In each case and
the result of DR. Sproule's treatment.
Read them carefully aaA ponder serious
ly on this question. If DIR. Sproule can
cure these people, is il not REASONABLE G TO
suppose he can cure you? 1t is certainly
worth a trial.

NEW RORT, March 18th.


Not having anything to do two weeks
ago yesterday, thought 1 would just
drop into DR.. Spro6le's Office and have Il
chat with him about my rheumatism, as
he advertised free consultation. l had no
intention, whatsoever, of submitting To
his treatment. On going to the hotel
found the doctor busy and was ushered
into the waiting room to take my turn
where there were some twenty or thirty
others, and heard these people talking
and telling how much they were improv-
ed, and many of them said they were
quite well since taking the doctors treat
ment. l cross questioned several myself,
and l must confess | began To have my
doubts considerably removed because,
although L am ashamed to make it known,
L had no faith whatsoever in travelling
doctors, and was just going to consult
DR.. SprOule from motives of pure curl
OStv.
When it came my turn to see the doc
tor, at once felt / was in the presence
of a master mind. He went to work and
examined me altogether differently and
much more scientifically than ever had
been before, though | had consulted what
are supposed to be the best doctors i'm
Boston and New York, and went to hos
pital i'm New York for six weeks, in the
hopes of getting rid of my aches and
pains. From none OF these leading city
doctors did 1 ever get temporary relief;
nor from gallons OF patent medicines
have consumed.
From the very first, after undergoing
DR.. Sproule's vitalizing treatment, which,
by the way, is the most scientific treat
ment ever saw or heard of; began to
improve very rapidly, and true as God
am well man to-day, after taking three
of the doctors vitalZing treatments. |
have no ache nor pain, something L have
never been wholly free from for a single
hour for the last six years. feel ten
years younger. / never invested money
so well in my life, as when l gave DR..
Sproule $25 to try and cure me. May the
doctor long be spared to cure other suf-
ferers like me.
While l was in Newport waiting to see,
the doctor, / found his rooms crowded
with patients. l met nearly fifty in sim
ole day, and never heard a word of CON-
plant in regard to his treatment. All
united in praise of his kindness and won
derful skill. His looms seemed to be q
fountain of hope, where the afflicted drank
of new life, free from suffering and
pain! 13li-'tAl.
1 feel Dr:aSproue to be the greatest
bepefactor have on earth. l would go
on my Bonded knees if necessary to serve
him. Only those who have never known
a well day for six years, can tell how
feel toward the doctor. He is, am sure,
a truly conscientious and scientific man.
He is perfect Godsend to the suffering
! of any community he visits. Would to
God that all sufferers knew what DIR.
Sproule can do, and would cast aside all
their Goubts and give him chance to
cure them, which l know he can do.

/ want everyone TO know what the Lord
is doing for me, and how good, kind and
skillful DR.. Sproule is, because / feel he
could help many out of their ailments
same as he has done for me. Six years
years ago l had a stroke OF paralysis,
which caused me TO lose'all knowledge of
everything. / remained in this condition
several weeks, hardly knowing enough to
converse with my own friends. Gradu-
ally l grew out of this, but no doctor
could cure me. My right side, however,
still remains nearly dead all through, my
hand on that side was paralysed almost
completely, as was my sight aud my right
leg. No one can imagine what 1 have
gone through. At times awful feelings
came over me, which made me wish the
Lord would take me home. Oh, how
suffered
ment with DR.. Sproule and have since
then been gaining fast. Were it not for
my corns l could walk quite good. I
have lots of sensation in my leg, and my
right side is much relieved. Now L do
not see the objects before my eyes like 7
used to, and my dreams are altogether
different quite pleasant to what they used
to be, the right side of my face does not
draw and feel bad as it did. And my
friend, Miss Peasley of Georgeville, p.
O., who 1 induced to consult DIR, SpFoule,
it is just something remarkable how fast
the doctor is curing her.
