Consumption is a human
weed Aourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while younlgi
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consumP-
ton you can't expect to be D;
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

More than one person overheard
James Baxwell, rich shopkeeper at
Gibraltar, say these words to ms
daughter Elezia, the beauty of the
town. Baxwelrs bitter opposition to a
marriage between the girl and William
Kat, a wealthy young Englishman,
was based on the fact that the latter
was a Protestant, while he and his
daughter belonged to the Roman Cath
Ollie faith.
The lovers implored, but the old man
was obdurate. Again and again he re-
peated that he would sooner see his
daughter dead than married to one OF
another faith.
A few days later screams were hearl
coming from a cave in the rock behint
Baxwell's house. The cries became

tude and weapon the dead mans port
manteau lay open at his very feet. The
story Of another criminal seemed ADJ
surd. There was. as far as could be
seen, no entrance for any one from out
side. The jury took the same view. and
Bradford was sentenced to death.
The night before he was to die Brad
ford made a strange confession. He
admitted that the sight Of the rouleaux
of gold In Hayes portmanteau hao
tempted him so that he could not sleep
At last he had yielded to temptation,
got up and made his way to Hayes
room with the intention of committing
the very act which he found already
accomplished When his light fell upon
the scene, he had been appalled,, and
when the hands of his captors grasped
him he had felt as if it was Judgment
upon him. He owned that, though
guiltless in act, he was rightly con-
demned for his evil intention.
He died quietly and penitently, but
his confession was thought to be mere
ly one of those extraordinary fictions
In which the brains of convicts sc
abound.
Eighteen months later Hayes vale'
made a dying confession that proved
every word of Bradfords defense Il
have been true. The man confessed
that he alone had committed the mu-
der. He had been disturbed by Brad
ford before he had had time to rifle tn
