HE SHOUTED FOR HELP.

1t was not for pleasure that Mr.. Will
son concluded to take walk in his
garden; it was rather an experiment
than an act of recreation. And, griev-
sous to relate, the result was against
him. The fact is, he had hardly COW
cred a hundred feet of ground before
he stopped, gave a choking gasp and
then sang out for help. His wife and
two sons came 10 the rescue, and got
him indoors as best they were able.
And that ended his going alone for six
months or more.
BY trade Mr.. Wilson is a carpenter,
one of the most useful, peaceful and
respectable of all the forms of indus
try. He has lived and worked for u
long time at Given Terrace, Padding
ton, brisbane, Queensland. and lives
there stiIl. About four years ago-or it
viii be by the time this gets into print
Mr.. wilson began to feel himself
much less Of a man than he useo to be;
he was breaking down.
The first thing he noticed was that
when he set out to walk a fafish
I distance which he would have done
once with a kit of tools on his back
without Ininding It'll say, when he set
out to tramp this, he found his legs
were weak, and he often had to stop
! for breath. And he kept on getting
worse. Such a state of things was al
most as bad for carpenter as it would
have been for postman. Both these
vocations demand good legs and good
wind.
! On being consulted. the doctor said:
. Mr.. Wilson, your heart is so weak 1t
can scarcely pump the blood through
your body. and your whole system is
out of order. There is no chance OF
your getting sound again, and the
sooner you lay aside your hammers and
saws the longer you are likely to live
These We're plain words, to be sure
but not words which a patient would
feel like paying out money to listen to
All the same. friend Wilson did as the
doctor said, because he had no choice
He couldn't work, and So naturally he
didn't. His chisels grew dull, but moi
so dull as their owner. He left Off max
ing chips and shavings, and went II
for drugs and regrets-a bad landslide
for him.
After about half a year of this sor
of thing, Mr.. Wilson made up his minC
to find out for himself If he was in fac
so poor a stick of human timber a!
the medical man had declared him t
be; hence the experimental walk in thu
garden already described. For sir
months more he was like ship in ;
dry dock, of no use to himself or any
body else. The doctor had measured
up the carpenters complaint to al
: eighth Of an inch, but as for curing 1t
why, that he made no pretence Of do
