Nurses Experience.

Medical men say that good nurse
in difficult case is better than med
icHne, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, are
we'll worthy the attention of all
readers:
II have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. I can
strongly recommend it after several years.
use and experience. 1t should be in every
household"
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: 81 have found St. Jacobs Oil most
eficacious remedyin govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

talk of having a Hampton street or

CHAPTER I.-CONTINCED.

N11EA1 LIN 1.-SON CED.
Out in the workroom the red-headed
printer had been doing some peculiar
things. The moment Guy had left he
had thrust the brush end of a broom
cut through the open window; then, on
the reverse side of an old piece Of copy,
he had written the following:
'Guy Herbert, son of the late Mont
fort Herbert, arrived in Concord at
noon and at this hour-two p. m.-has
just left the old man. He's going over
TO the town meeting tonight to get
some pointers. Watch out for him.
Hes about twenty-five or three, five
feet eleven or possibly six feet tall,
Clark hair and mustache, and looks as
though he was built for business"
That was all. The printer neither adj
dressed the note nor signed it, and the
moment he finished writing the last
word a soft tap fell on the back door.
The printer made haste to answer
the knock. A man stood outside a t the
head of the rear stairway-a strapping
big fellow with his trousers tucked in
his boot tops. He and the printer ex-
changed winks as the scrap of paper
was handed over. Then the big fellow
noiselessly descended and the printer
noiselessly closed the door and re-
moved the broom from the window.
That ''leak'' was through the stove
pipe hole in the Blizzard office.

A SOLDIERS MARROW ESCAPE.

Watts Flats, N. Y, May 5th.-George
Manhart, of this place, a hale and
hearty old soldier of 80 years of age,
tells thrilling story of a narrow es-
cape from death:
''Four years ago." he says, "the doc
tors who were attending me during a
serious illness called my wife aside
and told her that could not live two
weeks as I had Bright's Disease, which
meant certain death.
LAS a. last resort we thought we
would try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and &C.
cordingly sent to Mr.. Clark's drug
store and got box.
''This remedy worked wonders in
my case. I noticed the improvement
at once and discharged the doctor.
II kept on improving until every
symptom of illness had gone and I
was strong and well.

zone of those is the station agent,
Betty, and doesn't count" replied
voice of masculine timbre, so deep it
was almost roar.
Guy discovered the second speaker
instantly. He was large man wear
ing black SLOUGH hat and was sitting
on a seat that ran along the side of
the car, his eyes close to a window
and eagerly observing the town.
The other speaker was not so easily
located, but Guy found her at last.
She was perched on a stool up in the
lookout" or cuoola, and was also
studying the main street with eager
gaze.
81 was going to catch glimpse of
the gallant Colonel" continued the
girl, with ripple of laughter. Sub
tract him from Concord and the re-
suit is naught.''
"Huh!" exclaimed the father, with
out looking around. "Keever is the
biggest cipher in the whole layout.
Everybody will know that one of these
days."
II can't understand" went on the
girl, "why more people haven't come
down to see that the train arrives and
departs properly"
"Pardon me-" put in Guy, whimsic-
ally, hating below the young lady and
looking up at her, 'the people here do
not manifest the same interest in a
freight that they do in passenger.
Besides, there are two men and a dog
behind the depot whom you have over
looked.
The large man at the side of the car
switched around and fixed his eyes on
the speaker. The girl also turned in
her seat in startled way and locked
down.
She was a very handsome girl, her
fine, clean-cut features possessing the
charm of womanly resolution and
frmness. Symmetry was the keynote
of face and form, and the eyes, the
lips and the square, dimpled chin all
told of underlying strength. From
the viewpoint of physiognomist she

joy of his character study betrayed it.

heartily. "Betty. why don't you
thank him? That drop might have

Had he not attracted my atten-
tion," flared Miss. Betty, Il would
not have lost my hold. These freight
trains are simply insufferable and
this is the very last time shall ever
ride on one"
"Allow me-" said Guy.
STOPPING he picked up chain
bracelet which had become unclasped
from Miss Betty's dainty wrist. She
took it from him, replaced it around
her glove, and then seated herself on
one of the side seats just where the
last flicker of sunlight touched her
reddish hair into gold. A very pretty
picture she was, too, sitting stiffly
erect in her injured dignity and look
ing neither to right nor left. The
large man shifted his twinlSling eyes
from her and gave Guy wink.
"What's your line?" he asked.

Guy.

man squinted about Guys vicinity as
though searching for sample cases.
Guy was annoyed, especially as
Miss Betty's sense of the ridiculous
prevailed over all and allowed smile
to twitch at the corners of her
mouth.
"You are mistaken, SIR" said Guy.
II am not a drummer"
"Been long in Concord?"
"A few hours only"
THAT was as long as you could
stand it, I suppose. Well, I don't
blame you. If you want to make a
little money during this boom you've
got to buy lots in live town like
Harmony. My names Vlandingham,
young man."
Guy had been on the point of say
ing that he already had more lots
than he knew what to do with, but
the large mans announcement of his
name caused him to take another
course. Here undoubtedly was the
very Vlandingham who had the coun-
ty commissioners under his thumb
and was the ringleader of the con-
spiracy to steal the county seat
away from Concord. Guy became
wary. on the! instant.

Sweetly Innocent.

The ten-year-old daughter of port
ly lady seemed overjoyed when her
mother promised to take her to Il
concert on the following evening, and,
rushing off to her little writing desk,
produced dainty diary and made a
few notes in it.

darling girl has confided to her diary"
said the mother to her husband, when
the child had gone to bed. ''What do

"Oh, read it by all means,' he an
swered. "It's sure to be something
sweetly innocent"
So the portly lady, not without Il
few qualms of conscience, opened the
newly-blotted entry, which read as
follows:
