Marvellous Cures Made by
Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy.

Dear Mrs. Joe Person:
| want TO tell what Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy has done for my family. About
tour years ago our son was taken with
white swelling in his left leg, between
the knee and ankle. He suffered a great
deal and his leg discharged very freely
Nothing did him any good. When 1t had
been running about SIX months, we had
three doctors to come and perform an
operation They split his leg to the bone
from just below the knee nearly to the
instep split six inches long. Then they
sCraped the bone and cut away all de-
cayed flesh. In a few months that cut
healed up but the two holes came back
IN the same places, and discharged just
like they did before the leg was cut
This continued about year and half,
when we began to use salve that healed
his leg Last May, twelve months ago.
it broke out again in the same place, and
the doctor decided to take him to the
hospital, when Mrs. Joe Person came to
see me- She advised me to give him her
Remedy and use her Wash and not to
have his leg cut again. / followed her
directions carefully, and in three months
his leg was entirely well. Now he is just
as well and healthy looking as ne can be.
/ can't say enough for Mrs. Persons
Remedy. 1t, is the best medicine l have
ever taken and l have taken much. /
gave the Remedy to my little daughter
for throat trouble. She had had it for
five years and now she is well. 1t cured
NV youngest child of catarrh in .he head.
Now, l want to tell you how it helled
me. L have been almost an invalid for
ten years, not able to sit up all day much
of the time. / had a weak heart and
weak stomach, constipated bowels and
every other i'll you could imagine / was
so easy to take cold had to stay in the
house all winter, would have a terrible
cough that some winters would last me
three months 1 was sure had consump-
ton Since 1 have been taking Mrs Per-
sons Remedy, l have only had very
slight cold twice. l feel so much better
and hope to continue to improve. l reck-
on / have taken and given to my chill
dren fifty bottles of the Remedy. My
house is never clear OF it. l believe the
Lord is with her in her work. She has,
with His help, cured so many poor SUI
fering ones. hope the Lord will con-
tinue to bless her and her patients.

man was right, and promised, to a GER

However, Cornelia," she added, "un.
less your father is perfectly agreeable
and satisfied, 1 would not advise you
to make any engagement"
The answering of these letters was
naturally Cornelia's first afternoon
thought. To write to Joris was a de.
lightful thing, an unusual pleasure,
and she sat down, smiling, to pen the
lines which she thought would bring
her much happiness, but which were
doomed to bring her a great sorrow:
MY Joris. My Dear Friend:

your letter, but l have read it owe

that also is my desire; and 1 am de.

If my father is in a suitable temper
it will be well to speak plainly to him,
and l am sure that my mother will
say in our favor all that is wise.
What more is to say l will keep for

heart to know all my thoughts, and to

CHAPTER Viii.
Two PROPOSALS.


The ruling idea of any mind as
sumes the foreground of thought, and
after Arenta's marriage the dominant
desire of George Hyde vas to have his
betrothal to Cornelia recognized and
assured. He was In haste to light his
w nuptial torch, and afraid every
day of that summons to England which
would delay the event.
Il may have to go away with mother
at any time-I may be detained by
events l cannot help-and l have not
bound Cornelia to me by any personal
recognized tie-and Rem Van Ariens
will be ever near her. Oh, indeed, this
state of affairs will never do l will
write to Cornelia this very moment
and tell her | must see her father this
evening. l cannot possibly delay it
longer. 1 have been a fool-a care
less, happy fool-too long"
He opened his secretary and sitting
resolutely down, began a letter to DR..
Moran. He poured out his heart and
desires, and then he read what he had
written. 1t would not do at all. 1t
was a love letter and not a business
letter. He wrote another, and then
another. When he had finished read
ing them over, he was in a passion
with himself.

Moran. She bowed and smiled as she
accepted it, but Rem, watching with
his heart in his eyes, could see that 1t
awakened no special interest. She

among the flowers, until Mrs. Moran
came to the door to hurry her move

An she entered her room an impos-
ing looking letter met her eyes-a
letter written upon the finest paper,
~squarely folded, and closed with a
large seal of scarlet a carrying the
Hyde arms. Poor Rem's message lost
instantly whatever interest it pos
sessed; she let it fall from her hand,
and lifting Hyde's, opened it with that
marvellous womanly i~mpetuosity which
love teaches. In a moment she felt all
that he felt; all the ecstasy and tn.
multi of a great affection not sure. For
this letter was the little more" in
Hyde's love, and, oh, how much it
was!
She pondered it until she was called
to dinner. There was then no time to
read Rem's letter, but she broke the

Joris HYDE" he cried. Since you
cannot write a decent business letter,
write, then, to the adorable Cornelia;
the words will be at your finger ends
for that letter, and will slip from your
pen as if they were dancing:
MY Sweet Cornelia:
Il have not seen you for two days,
and it's a miracle that have endured
it. I can tell you, beloved, that l am
much concerned about our affair. You
know that l may have to go to Eng
land soon, and go l will not until |

will show us. Tell me at what hour l
may call and see him in his house.
Oh, my peerless Cornelia, pearl and
flower of womanhood, 1 speak your
speech, l think your thought; you are
the noblest thing in my life, and to
remember you is to remember the
hours when I was the very best and
the very %happiest. Bid me come to
you soon, very soon, for your love is
my life. Send your answer to my
city lodging. Oh, Cornelia, am l not
ever and entirely yours?

Then he bowed his head and turned
away. There was nothing more that
he could do; but he remembered that
Arenta had stepped On board the La
Belle France as the clock struck
three, and that she also had gone
smiling to her unknown destiny.
Arriving home he very gently ac-
