THE ANGEL OF DEATH.

THE ANGEL OF DEATH.
Nearly three years after Malcolm
Kirk and his wife had made their
promise in the little Home Missionary
church of Conrad, one evening in Sep
TENDER, a stranger stepped out of the
east bound Chicago express upon the
platform at Conrad and inquired for
the residence of the Rev. Malcolm Kirk.
"He lives up by the church." said the
man to whom the question was put.
Come out to the end of the platform
and I'll show you"
The stranger followed, and the man
pointed up the street where the tower
of the little church could be seen.

man called after him:

He had prayed, his wife beside him,

lays for the enemy were what Lee
wanted, and Stuart's cavalry was ex-
pected to hold off the Federal advance
guard as long as possible. After MAX
ing q sweep past the agates of Rich
mond to the James river Sheridan turn
ed back to meet the main army. He
found the roads blocked at Hawe's
Shop, northeast of Richmond, ald there
was fought another exciting cavalry
battle. Merritt, Rosser and Fitz Lee
were all there. Sheridan won the day,
but his triumph was shorn Of its splen-
dor by a stunning setback in an en-
counter which followed.
After Grant had closed his tolls
around Petersburg he sent Sheridan
toward L%ynchburg to cut Lees army
off from the supplies brought from
there. The enemy net Sheridan at
Trevilian Station, on the Central rail-
| road, and in a sharp battle compelled
him to retreat. Fitz Lee and Rosser
were both conspicuous in the fight, and
Rosser led the charge which decided
the day. He was wounded at the head
of his troops.
After another raid on the James riv-
err line the scene Of cavalry combat
shifted to the Shenandoah valley,
where Merritt and Rosser and for a

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought Of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
tion OF undigested food, regulate the ac-
tion OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.
