When old age comes on, catarrhal dis.
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that meets these
cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.

The fire alarm yesterday sounded
from box Il shortly after II o'clock
Yesterday forenoon. The firemen
responded and discovered that the
cause for alarm was brush fire in
the field Just below the residence OF
Col. II. G.. Staples on State street
Several boys were seen playing in that
vicinity shortly before the fire was dis
covered and it is supposed to have been
started by them. No water was used
but after a few minutes fighting the
fire was put out with boards and brush
in the hands of the firemen. not how

three acres. 1t came up very neal

AS Chance Decreed.


Mischance delayed the carriage Of Beau
Wilson in it's journeying to Bloomsbury
square. It had not appeared at that mo-
ment, far toward evening, when John
Law, riding a trembling and dripping
steed. came upon one side Of this little
open common and gazed anxiously across
the space. He saw standing across from
him a carriage toward which he dashed.
He flung open the carriage door, crying
out, even before he saw the face within.
"Wnl! VIII Law, I say, come OUT
called he. What mad trick Is this?
WHAT"
He saw indeed the face Of Will Law
inside the carriage, a face pale, melan-
choly, and yet firm.
"Get you back into the city, cried VIII
Law This Is no place for you, jack
boy! Are you mad entirely mad?'
cried Law, pushing his way directly into
the carriage and reaching out with an arm
of authority for the sword which he saw
resting beside his brother against the
seat. mo place for me! IT'S no place for
you for either of us. Turn back. This
foolishness must go no further
1T must go on now to the end said

Law was a powerful man, over s feet
in height. The sports of the Highlands,
combined with much fencing and continu-
Gus play in the tennis court. indeed, his
ardent love for every hardy exercise, had
given his form alike solid strength and
great activity. "Jessamy Law" they
called him at home, in compliment of his
slender though full and manlyl form. Cool
an dskifull in all the games of his youth,
as John Law himself had often calmly
stated, in fence he had knowledge
amounting to science, knowledge based
upon the knowledge of first principles.
The intricacies of the Italian school were

Indeed the thought of successful opposi-
ton seemed never to occur to him at all
Certainly at this moment, angered at the
impatient insolence of his adversary, the

ter was provided. With one leaf

coach. Vain, weak and pompous in a way,
yet lacking not in certain personal valor,
Beau Wilson stopped not for seconds, tar
ried not to catch the others speech, but
himself strobe madly onward, his point
raised slightly, as though he had lost all
care and dignity and. desired nothing so
much as to stab his enemy as swiftly as
might be.
1t would have mattered nothing now to
this Highlander, this fighting Argyll, what
had been the reason animating his Oppon-
ent. 1t was enough that he saw weapon
barred. Too late, then, to reason with John
Law, Beau Law of Edinboro', Jes-
samy' Law, the best blade and the cool
est head in all the schools of arms that
taught him fence.
For a moment Law paused and raised
his point, whether in query or in salute
the onlookers scarce could tell. Sure 1t
was that Wilson was the first to fall into
the assault. Scarce pausing in his stride.
he came on blindly, and, raising his own
point. lunged straight for his opponents
breast Sad enough was the fate which
impelled him to do this thing.
It was over in an instant. 1t could not
be said that there was an actual encoun-
ter. The side step Of the young High
lander was soft as that of a panther. as
quick and yet as full Of savagery. The
whipping over Of his wrist, the gliding.
twning, clinging of his blade against that
Of his enemy was so swift that eye could
scarce have followed it. The eye OF Beau
Wilson was too slow to catch it or to
guard. He never stopped the riposte, and
indeed was too late to attempt any guard
Pierced through the body, Wilson stag
gered back. capping his hands against his
chest. Over his face there swept a swift
series of changes. Anger faded to cha
grin. that to surprise, surprise, to fright
and that to gentleness.
Sir" said he, you've hit me fair, and
very hard. I pray you, some friend, give

And so they led him to his carriage, and
took him home a corpse. Once more the
code of the time had found its victim.
Law turned away from the coach Of his
smitten opponent. turned away with face
stern and full of trouble. Many things

stepped slowly towards the carriage, ir

Jack, Jack!' cried Will Law, "Oh
