FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
Macpherson's foreboding that the
strain and exposure of the trying
night would be too much for me was
as true as many another reluctant
prophecy. The following morning,
and for many mornings thereafter,
was unable to leave my room or my
bed beneath the low-pitched rafters;
and Mrs. Setter and Winifred came
and went and ministered to me.
Macpherson came, also, like the loyal
friend that he was, sitting with me
night after night, after the days
hard work on the placer bar; and
when l was once more able to take
a passing interest in the things that
are, he told me what had befallen.
1t came out by Titles while Angus
watched with me in the intervals
when sleep would not come for all
my wooings. Wykamp had not been
seriously injured in his narrow es-
cape; had ridden to his work
the following day, in fact, with his
head bandaged and fierce frenzy of
determination driving him. The
force on the dam had been. doubled;
night shift had been put. on, and,
as Angus talked, l could hear the
hum of the dynamo in the electric
plant set up to furnish the light for
the night gang. AS result of all this
increased activity, the dam was near
ing completion, and the stock of the
land company was no longer a drug
in the market.
AS for Macpherson, he had turned
miner as he had promised to. His
demand for water had been prompt
ly acceded to, and so far from prov
ing an obstructionist, the engineer
had allowed his own workmen to
build that portion of the miners
flume which delivered the water at
the placer-workings. More than that,
he had re-established the settlers
ditch, and had thereby quieted the
opposition of every farmer in the
colony save one. That one was
Setter. In reopening the ditch which

and surveyed new line, being con-
strained thereto, he explained, by the
location of the newly begun work
ings on the placer bar. And, since

yon, it had been possible to run the
new ditch SO that it served every
acre in the colony save those within
the Tennessean's fences.
1t was Winifred who told me about
this, and naturally her sympathies
were with the farmer. sit seems such
a needless piece of injustice" she
said, in conclusion.
In ell our talks I had been care
full to ignore the very existence of
such person as Wykamp; but at
this time ventured to suggest that
the injustice to Setter might be bit
of personal animosity.
She did not reply at once. There
was that in her face which betrayed
the struggle between womanly reti-
cence and an overmastering desire
to share her burdens with a sym
pathizing listener. In the end the
burden outweighed the conventions.

CATCHING GOLD.
How Prevented-How cured-By the Renowned Medical Author and
 Physician, pr. Hartman.

There Is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoon full of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now if this is true (and there is no doubt of it) thous- and of lives would be saved, and tens of thousands of cases of chornic catarrh pre- vented, by this simple precaution within reach of every one.
 After cold has been contracted a teaspoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it, leaving no trace of 1t behind. After chronic catarrh has become established or the first stages of con- sumption have been reached, 1t will take much longer to effect a cure. It seems strange that as well known and as we'll established as these facts are that any one should neglect to profit by them, and yet no doubt there are many who pay little or no attention to them and go on catching cold acquiring chronic catarrh and consumption.

runa will cure you now in a very short time.
 If you wait until the catarrf1 becomes chronic 1t will take much longer to get a permanent cure. Besides. no one is safe a moment while chronic catarrh is in the system.
 It is capable of producing multitude of diseases such as bronchitls, pneumonia, sQuinsy, dyspepsia. Bright's disease and many, forms of female weakness. This fact should lead every one who has. the slightest cola or cough to begin at once ef1e proper treatment.
 PeruIla is the remedy-for all this class of diseases. It removes the disease by removing the cause. catarrhal infiammae tion of the mucous membrane.
 If you do not derive prompt and eatis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving A full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

person from his usual business. In per- haps majority of cases little or no at- tention is paid to the first stage of ca tarrh, and hence it is that nearly one half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form.
 To neglect cold is to invite chronic catarrh As soon as anyone discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin use of Peruna ac- cording to directions on the bottle and the cold Is sure to pass away without leaving any bad effects.
 Unless this Is done the cold is almost tarrh which is making so many ,;va. miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has cold or cough chronic ca, tarrh would be practically an unknown disease.

 That Peruna cures catarrh wherever located is attested by the following tes-i timonials sent entirely unsolicited to pr. Hartman by grateful men and women who have been cured by Peruna;
