"Mother, / said, II would not have

home shall be able to return. Now,
tell me all the particulars. darling, and
then we can consult quietly"
Mother dried her tears and sat up and
told me her story.
Father. it appeared, had Travelled by
the private railway to Erinofka, big
moor, the shooting Of which he rented
with two other sportsmen, Russian
grand duke and an English gentleman
called Hubert. Father liked the place
principally for the excellence of its bat
tues for elk. This was not the season for
elk, but he had set out on the Tuesday
morning, intending to walk the moors
for grouse and black game on the
Wednesday and TO return by the mid
night train that day, but he had not
turned up at home. Mother had waited
till Thursday night, thinking that pos
sibly father might have found the birds
SO plentiful that he had decided to re-
main another day. But when Friday
morning had come and still father had
not arrived mother grew anxious and
telegraphed to the head keeper at Erin.
Okla, inquiring whether father was still
there.
An answer came presently to the ef-
feet that father had left on Thursday
evening with the rest Of the party.
Then mother sent a man down to the
lodge, 40 miles away, to make inquiries,
but nothing had TRANSFERRED excepting
that father had undoubtedly been to the
lodge and had as certainly left it again
to return to town.
"That' all, " said mother. ~ waited
until the Tuesday, as You know, to send
for you, my beloved, and now You have
come. At least we can bear our sorrow
together. Alas. what else is left to us
but to bear it,"

THEORIES OF THE DISAPPEARANCE.
I found my poor mother in sad con-
dition indeed. The shock Of fathers
disappearance and the uncertainty and
helpless misery of the whole wretched
affair had quite upset her, and for the
time being at least she was practically
in state of collapse.
She lay in bed, looking a shadow OF
her real self, and she burst into tears
when entered the room.

only to disappoint. and after robbing him
OF his money, plunge him into absolute
despair.
No one can appreciate these horrors OF
lost manhood except he who has suffered
them. No one can help such sufferers ex-
cept he who knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. a no
table cure Of lost manhood in an extreme
case was effected in the person of Geo. b.
Wright, q music dealer and we'll known
citizen of Marshall. Mich. Mr. Wright for
years suffered the agony of lost vital
power. He saw his physical powers go
from him as the result of insidious dis
ease until he was reduced to condition
of senility, and the best doctors in the
country gave him up to die.
Like many others. he tried the various
remedies offered by specialists for the
treatment of weaknesses peculiar to men
and'it was this experience that drove him
to a little study and research for his own
benefit.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to undoubted Joy in a single night through
rare combination of medicines that lit
orally made him young again. 1t is the
prescription of this discovery that his en-
thusiasm leads him to offer free to any
man, young or old who feels that his ami
nation or the fire Of ambition has left him
and needs something that will not only
brace him up and enable him to be pre-
pared for any undertaking which may pre-
sent itself, but will restore the parts TO
their original size and vigor.
There is no question but what in bis
individual case the results were just as
described, and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he
can afford to send this prescription free,
but it costs him but little to do so, and
he feels philanthropic interest in giving
