for many years with rheumatism, {"
says w. H. Howard, of Husband,
Pennsylvania. "At times she was
unable to move at all, while at all
times walking was painful. pre-
sented her with bottle of chamber
lain's pain balm ahd after a few ap-
plications she decided it was the
most wonderful pain reliever she
had ever tried, in fact, she is never
without it now and is at all times
able, to walk. An occasional ap-
plication Of pain balm keeps away
the pain that she was formerly
troubled with. For sale by w. F.

kidney troubles. l tried all sorts OF
medicines, none of which relieved
me. One day saw an ad. of your
electric bitters and determined to
try that. After taking a few doses
l felt relieved and soon thereafter
was entirely cured, and have not

II am not worthy to say It." she said
soberly, ''but I love you with all nv
heart and soul.''
Then for the first and only time in bis
life Thorpe fell to weeping, while she,
understanding, stood by and comforta
him.
The few moments of Thorpe's tears
eased the emotional strain under which
perhaps unconsciously he had been Ia.
boring for nearly a year past. The
tenseness Of his nerves relaxed. He sa.
vored deliberately the JOY Of luxurt
Gus couch, rich hangings, polished floor,
subdued light, warmed atmosphere. He
watched with soul deep gratitude the
soft girlish curves of Hilda's body, the
poise Of her flower head, the piquant
half wistful, half childish set Of her
red lips, the clear starlike glimmer Of
her dusky eyes. It was all near to him

She leaned her cheeks against her

'aThen he renounced all his most val.

mon man needed the sacrifice"
sounds like q medieval story" said
he, with unconscious humor.
"1t happened recently" rejoined ILL.,

"Well, he blazed a good trail," was
Thorpe's signing comment. "Probaoly

"Ru7ay?' he shouted.
Rank after rank, IKE soldiers charg-
ing, they ran. The great fierce wind
caught item up ahead Of the current.
In a moment the open river was full
Of logs jostling eagerly onward. Then
suddenly far out above the uneven
tossing sky line Of Superior the strange
northern "loom," or mirage, threw the
specters Of thousands of restless tim
bers rising and falling on the bosom of
the lake.
Courier Democrat., 1904-07-28

"Oh, the great man! oh, the
great man!' murmured the
writer, fascinated.
The grandeur Of the sacrifice had
struck them dumb. They did not un-
derstand the motives beneath it all, but
the fact was patent. Big Junko broke
down and sobbed.
After a time the stream Of logs
through the gap slackened. In mo-
ment more, save for the inevitably
stranded few, the booms were empty.
A deep sigh went up from the atten-
i've multitude.
"She's gonew said one man, with the
emphasis Of a novel discovery. and
groaned.
Then the awe broke from about their
minds, and they spoke many opinions
and speculations. Thorpe had disap-
peared. They respected his emotion
and Gid not follow him.
'It was just plain foolishness, but
It was great" said Shearer. THAT no
account jackass of Big Junko amt
worth as much per thousand feet as
good white pine.'
Then they noticed group Of men
gathering about the Office steps, and
on it some one talking. Collins. the
bookkeeper, was making a speech.
Collins was a little hatchet faced
man. with straight, lank hair, near
sighted eyes. timid, order loving dis
position and great suitability for his
profession. He was accurate. unemo-
uonal and valuable. All his actions
were as dry as the sawdust in the
burner No one had ever seen him ex-
cited. But he was human, and now
his knowledge Of the company's affairs
showed him the dramatic contrast. He
knew. He knew that the property of
the firm had been mortgaged to the
last dollar in order to assist expansion.
SO that not another cent could be bor-
rowed to tide over present difficulty.
He knew that the notes for 100000
covering the loan to Wallace Carpenter
came due in three months. He knew
from the long table of statistics which
he was eternally preparing and COM
pairing that the seasons cut should
have netted profit Of $500 900, enough
to pay the interest on the mortgages.
to take up the notes and to furnish a
working capital for the ensuing year.
These things he knew in the strange
concrete arithmetical manner Of the
routine bookkeeper Other men saw
a desperate phase of firm rivalry. He
saw struggle to the uttermost. 9th
er men cheered rescue. BE thrilled
over the magnificent gesture Of the
gambler scattering his stake in largesse
TO Death.
It was the simple turning Of the hand
from full breathed prosperity to life
less failure.
His view was the inverse of his mas
ters. To Thorpe it had suddenly be-
come very little thing in contrast to
the great, sweet, elemental truth that
the dream girl had enunciated. To
Collins the affair was miles vaster than
the widest scope of his own narrow
HE.
The firm could not take up its notes
when they came due; it could not pay
the interest ON the mortgages, which
would now be foreclosed; it could not
even pay IN full the men who had
worked for it-that would come under
. courts adjudication.
