A Novel Cure.

That disease should Iinger in
the world and persist in bothering
humanity is strange indeed, when.
one comes to think of the number
less "infallible'' remedies for al
most every ailment which nature
provided, the microbes introduced
or-the doctors invented. Hardly
a week passes that the papers do
not come out with the details of
some new treatment for an old
time complaint, and the assertion
is gravely made that it is ..a sure
cure" The latest in this line is
a dead sure cure for dyspepsia
withaut the use of drugs. All one
has to do is to 60 down on his
all-fours two or three times each
day and pranee around for half
an hour at a time as quadruped
would. It Is explained that to be
eficacious this treatment of one s
self need not necessarily be un-
dertaken in public, but may be
conducted in the privacy of one $
own apartment. We are inclined
to entertain a doubt as to this be-
ing the best method Of practioing
the ssall-foqrs' cure. We sus-
pect the cure would hemore rapid
and complete Il there should be
two persons in the room who
should alternate in the all-fours
exercise, while the one who is not
actually engaged in practicing the
remedy might assist the one
who Is doing 50 by vigor-
|ously applying barrel staye to
the occidental portion ofhis anat-
omy. We should have consider
bly, more faith in the treatment
if it were conducted this way, for
there is room for suspicion that
the patient thus aided would for
get his dyspepsia for the time be-

Story of the Wilderne,
By CHARLES CLARK r1UNN Author of Pocket sand Uncle Terry' and Rockhaven'

But he still followed the brook, whose laughter mocked his mood, un- til deep in the swamp where he had set traps and snares for cartridges, it became lost in tangle of alders. Then back again, in melancholy frame of mind, he retraced his steps over pasture, meadow, and field, to where the Mizzy flowed deep and still. This he crossed on an old red bridge, also fraught with tender memories, and passed down the by-road to the schoolhouse, sacred to the memory of 'sTwo Old Cat" Pump Peterway," kissing games under an old apple tree with Angie in the ring, and awful fright when examination day and speaking pieces came It looked the same as then, only worse. More in itials were carved on the brown boards, and the surrounding bushes hemmed 1t in little closer.
 And as Martin paused, looking at it, hs wondered if he were the same boy who had come there day after day, creeping slowly in to study and storm ing out to play And what would Angie say if She stood beside him now, looking at the empty school house, with not a dwelling in sight and only the birds singing in the gnarled old apple trees, and the sun shining over all? Would even these old mem o.ics recall aught of mutual heart in- tcrest, and brush away the cool re- serve she had met him with?
 As he retraced his steps toward the village after morning of gloomy memories, it seemed as if fate meant to be kind, for just ahead he espied Angie entering the by-road from a pasture. She wore the samo bread sun hat of the day before, carried pail, and had evidently been after berries.
 With quick steps Martin had almost reached her, when she halted and faced about.
 A"Why, how you scared mel" she ex- claimed, looking relieved.
 I'm sorry" he responded, smiling md raising his hat, "and yet, I'm glad. Two been on tour over my old haunts, ending at the schoolh ouse, and think ing of you.''
 ''You find things changed, pre- eume," she answered ccolly, now her. self and ignoring his reference.
 Why, yes, of course. Everything seems to have grown smaller, includ-

ing the old schoolhouse. That seemed a mere turkey coop. You have been after berries, see." he added, as she made no reply to this
 ''Why, yes," flashing curious look at him, country girls always go after berries, rake hay, and drive the cows, and I'm still a country girl, you sec"
 Martin laughed. T hear you are also schoolma' am now,' he rejoined, thinlzing.it wise to change the subject; where do you teach?"
 Tn the same turkey coop you just visited" she answered, smiling.
 Why, that's where we used to go to school together; that's funny.'' Then, as she made no response, he con- tinued: "I've been all over the old farm. and up through the laurel pas ture where we used to gather arbutus, made me feel like boy again
 That was pleasant" she replied in a lack-interest tone; "are you think ing of becoming farmer again?"
 "Hardly"-a little piqued at her coolness; i've notion, though, of building dam on the farm and rais- ing trout. That's been hobby of mine for many years. DO you enjoy teaching school, Angler" he asked sud- denly, realizing that old memories and his plans failed to interest her.
 Why, yes, until winter comes. It'c quite long walk"
 A pause, an iud1ecticn, a mere shad- ing of tone will give a keen observer the key to another's feelings, and Mar tin, as he glanced down at the shape ly, calico-clad girl beside him, read her thoughts and saw her life as it was in an Instant. They had been as youth full lovers, all in all to one another, parting with fond promises-he ap- parently to forget his, and she to con- tinue her simple life as pure and open as the brook he had that day followed. And now on his return, she w@Gza not, even by allusion to old occasiGAS, ad- init they had ever been aught to one another. Had she wished to renew the old ties, or awaken his interest again, he had given her ample chance, and yet she ignored it. It was pride of the most indomitable sort, and while it hurt he felt like taking off his hat to 1t. Then, as the history of her life, as related hy Dr. Sol, returned to him on the instant-her heritage kept from

CHAPTER XVI.
SUNDAY IN GREENvALp.

Originally, Q strict observance of the Lords day began in Greenvale at sun down Saturday, and became a 24 hours of penance. No cooking was supposed to be done, no chores except imperative ones, long prayers were repeated night and morning by the heads or the fami- lies, two lengthy sermons by the ortho- dox parson, each extending to seven teenthly," then to finally" and fin conclusion" occupied most of the day. To the young 1t was iong, solemn pe- riod of gloom from sun to sun, and if a boy was detected near a brook, or caught cracking nut, merciless pun ishment followed.
 When the first bell sounded at nine o'clock, all. (unless sicl1) were supposed to get ready, those at a distance came in all manner of conveyances, left lined up in the long row of sheds back of the church. At ten o'clock the second bell was rung, when all were expected to be in their seats and penitent frame of mind.
 If a late-arriving farmer entered, tiptoeing down the aisle in tallowed, but squealSing boots, all turned, frown- ing at him, and when the last note of

her, a dependent on Aunt Comfort and that by-road schoolhouse each day, year after year, to earn pittance-the pathos of it all smote him. He could buy half the village and have money left, and she whom he had many times held close in his arms, and to whom he had whispered loving words, was walking beside him gowned in faded calico and wearing worn-out sh oes.
 Worse than that, from his viewpoint now that he had returned, anxious to. atone for years of neglect and renew the old lovership, she would not even admit that it ever existed.
 Angie he said, after a long pause, T came near calling on you the even ing l arrived. The doctor was out and I walked up to your house, but heard singing, and concluded you had callers"
 Well, why didn't you" she an- swered, smiling; you are not bashfuI, are you?"
 No, but didn't feel like intruding. stood under the naples, however, and enjoyed your singing few moments"
 But even this brought no response, and fully conscious now that she in tended to avoid all reference to old memories, he began speaking of his plans for trout raising

 No, thank you," he answered in the same tone, mot now" And, raising his hat, he turned away,

MAY RECOGNIZE MORALES,
Rumored Plan to End Difficulties in
San Domingo-Can Maintain
Stable Government.

Washington, March 21.-It is prob
able that an end may be made of the
Dominican difficulties by the extern
sion on the part OF the United States
government of full recognition to Gen.
Morales as president of San Domingo.
One result of the Mayfower's trip was
to confirm the official opinion that
Morales has sufficient strength of char
acter and to maintain "a
stable government if the United States
and other nations will prevent the
Illicit supply of arms and ammunition
to the insurgents. As it is, the ar
rival of every vessel with ammunition
in her cargo marks the revival of the
revolutionary movement which seems
quite purposeless. The state depart
ment already has given some informa-
ton on this subject to the shipping
interests doing business with San
Domingo, having satisfied itself that
nearly all Of the arms and ammunition
imported into San Domingo came from
the United States, and there may be
further action in that direction before
long, all with the view to terminate
the present deplorable condition in
San Domingo without direct i~nterven.
ton by the United States.

Steamship Sinks British Submarine
Boat-All on Board
Drowned.

Portsmouth, N. H., March 21.-The
British submarine boat. No. AL was
run down and sunk off the Nab light
ship Friday by a Donal Currie liner,
and II persons were drowned, includ-
ing Lieut.. Mansergh, the senior officer
engaged in submarine work. The liner
passed on and reported that she had
struck a torpedo. At the time she was
struck the vessel was off the lightship
engaged in the maneuvers and was ly-
ing in eve fathoms of water waiting
the approach of the battleship. The
boat was one of the newest of the fleet
OF submarine vessels ana was, Duilt
from the latest models, but she has
always been'a bad diver. She was in
spected recently by both King Edward
and the prince of Wales.
All the necessary appliances for
raising the boat have been sent to the
spot, but the divers were unable to
reach her until low tide, and as the
boat is in a bad position the naval al
thorities have little hopes Of raising
her. From the first there was no hope
that any members Of her crew would
be saved.
