! about it. He had but 20 minutes to
reach the bridge, climb the bank and
| flag the train, and it is an acllnowl-
edged fact that he made better time on
the Still river that night than was ever
made before. nor has it been equalled
since, for he did it.
The train came around the bend at
the Lousdale crossing on time and in
the half darkness the engineer saw a
figure wildly climb the tressle and
swing its arms almost in front of the
engine at the edge of the bridge. The
engine driver stopped the train in time,
the loose rail was discovered. and after
it was repaired they bore Billy on to
Silver Glen in a state of mild collapse,
but good deal of hero.
The canoe record of the Still river
course remains something like IS min
utes, and nobody had since cared to
try to scale down Bil!y's time. But
doubt if Billy cares much about the
record after all, now that Hal and he
are friends again.

Functions of Live stock.

The true function of live stock on the
average farm should be to consume all
the food products raised and return to
the owner a fair, not an extravagant,
price for the food consumed, TO convert
coarse material into higher-priced prod
ucts of the fertilizing materials con-
stunned If his live stock pays for the
food consumed the farmer has made
what would be considered a reasonable
profit in other lines Of business-the
increased fertility of his land is of it
self a handsome profit, and one which
is quite often entirely overlooked

If the people generally knew the

and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached, f,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real

a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes TO the very bottom
