over half the people have catarrh
in some form or another. And yet,
probably not a tenth of the people
know that their disease is Catarrh. To
distinguish catarrh of various organs,
it has been named very differently.
One person has dyspepsia, another
bronchitis, another "Brights Disease,
another liver complaint, another con-
sumption, another female complaint
These people would be very much sur
prised to hear that they are all suffer-
ing with chronic catarrh. But it is so,
nevertheless.
Each one of these troubles, and a
great many more are simply catarrh-
that is, chronic Inflammation of the
mucous lining of whichever organ is
affected. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location. This is
why Peruna has become so justly fe-
nous in the cure of catarrhal diseases.

cures remain. Peruna does not palliate

Over across the way were the head

their left, separated by narrow space,
so crowded were the camps, were the
quarters of the officers of the -teenth
infantry, and even through the veil of
mist both soldiers could plainly sec
along the line. Coming toward the gate
was Mr.. Prime, escorted by the major.
Just behind them followed Mildred and
the attentive Schuyler. But where was
Miss Lawrence? Armstrong had al |
ready seen. Lingering, she stood at
Billy's tent front, her ear inclined to his
protruding pate. He was saying some
thing that took time, and she showed no !
inclination to hurry him. Miss Prime
looked back, then she and Schuyler ex-
changed significant smiles and glances.
There was rather lingering hand
clasp before Amy started. Even then
she looked back at the boy and smiled.

Yet it was the colonel who was the first

"In the inside pocket of that old OVER
coat of mine, hanging there on the rear
tent POLE" was the answer, as the gen
eral turned half round in his chair and
glanced wistfully, self-reproaohfully
thither.
Armstrong arose and, going to the
back of the tent, made close sxamina-
ton. The canvas hone of the chief
was what is known as the hospital tent,
but instead of being pitched with the
ordinary ridge pole and upright, sub
stantial wooden frame and floor had
first been built and over this the stout
canvas was stretched, stanch and taut
as the head of a drum. 1t was all intact
and sound. Whoever flched that
packet made way with it through the
front, and that, as Armstrong well
knew, was kept tightly laced, as rule,
from the time the general left 1t in the
morning until his return. 1t was never
unlaced except in his presence or by
his order. Then the deft hands of the
orderlies on duty would do the trick in
twinkling. Knowing all this, the
colonel queried further:

There was no answer from the strong
soldier standing observant at his elbow.
But when the chief would have moved
Armstrong detained him. "One more

left in this tent, you would send an aide
or orderly, or-would an order signed
BY one OF your Atan be sufficient"

before he spoke as though he wished
time to weigh his words.

Then in moment: "Niiss Lawrence,
will you not take my arm?" And he
felt her hand tremble as she placed it
there. 1t was moment before she be-
gan again.
"They tell me he should have counsel,
but will not heed. 1 have not seen him
to-day. There is no one in his battalion,
it seems, whom he really looks up to.
He Is headstrong and self-contident.
Do you think he should-that he needs

sought the strong, soldierly face.
ut would seem SO, Miss Lawrence"
She drew long breath. She seemed
70 cling little closer to his arm. Then
straight came the next question::
"Col. Armstrong, will you do me q
great favor? Will you be his counsel?"
He was looking directly to the front
as she spoke. Something told him what
was coming, yet he could not answer
all at once. What did it mean, after all,
but just what he had been thinking for
week, that the girls fresh young
heart had gone out to this merry, hand

could not account for her coming al

that she should return thither at once.
She determined to remain and gayly
