THE savage Kaffir was robust in

wore it into rags. He never bathed.

his mental horizon. The clock of the
instrument broke his silence, making
him jump convulsively.
"Ah, ha! Just as I expected" he
muttered, as this message flashed
across the wire:

were coming on.

sauntered into the waiting room. Tn

came close beside the guilty couple,
scanning each keenly as he passed.
The descriptions he had received
Tailed exactly and he felt sure of his
game. The stranger impatiently con-
suited his watch and they talked in
subdued tones. The station agent
caught a few fragments of their con-
versation and these were enough to
make him doubly sure.

bent over her, and to the agent it
looked very much as if he kissed her.
The suspense seemed interminable.
At last the low rumble of the ap-
preaching train loosened the tension.
The agent waited until he could see
the cleaning headlight in the dis
lance. Nearer and nearer it came
penetrating the darkness. In no ap
parent haste he walked out ON the
platform. Once outside he clutched
the handleof the door firmly, hanging
on like grim death. expecting an on

were common in Europe two CEN
turtles ago. The bottles were often
made of one skin doubled up and
closely stitched together, leaving an
aperture for the neck. The thick
piece between was inserted for the
slip; it was meant to be slung at
the back, a leather thong passed
through two loops placed on either
side of the neck and it was suf-
ficiently fat at the base to stand
when put down. The stopper was
made of wood, horn or old leather.
good deal of care was required in
the preparation of the leather, which
had to be oiled and worked with ham,
mers to make it supple and then
washed with a I've, so that all the i'm
purity was entirely removed, leaving
the leather clean and dry. No mois-
ture or air had any effect on it.
Blackjacks were in various sizes.
They were sometimes pitched inside.

The Life That Counts.

The life that counts must toll and fight
Must hate the wrong and love the right
Must stand for truth. by day, by night
Ard this the life that counts
The life that counts must aim to rise
Above the earth. to sunlft skies.
Must fix it's gaze on Paradise
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts must hopeful be:
In darkest night make MELODY;
Must wait the dawn on Bonded knee
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts must helpful be:
The cares and needs of others see,
Must seek the slave of sin to free
And this the life that counts.
The life that counts linked with God
And turns not from tie cross, the rod;
But walks with joy where Jesus trod-
And this the life that counts.

Hundreds Of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na
of Annoying Catarrh.

nR. HARTMAN has probably done
IL more than any other physician
toward popularizing a means of
escape from the facial deformities, such
as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the raw
aging effects of catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh lifelong
study. His remedy, popularity known as
Peruna, is the most famous remedy for
ca tarrh in existence.
Pro baby there is not man or woman,
boy or girl, within the bounds of the
United States that has not heard of Pc

Peruna produces clean mucous mem
