putting out from shore? shouted at
the top of my voice. In moment we
heard an answering cry, and then the
light came more rapidly toward us.
Presently fat-bottomed boat, driven
by stout arms, was rowed up to the
end of the bridge. I grasped the bow
and held it while Mrs.. Wilbur stepped
lightly in. Then I followed her and
pushed the boat off with all my might.
In few moments the drifting bridge
was an indistinct bulk in the darkness.
''What! a panther on board the old
bridge, did you say?" cried the res
cuer, a sturdy mountain farmer. oval,
wal! was out lookin' for my chicken
coops, but guess I'll get my rifle and
try for bigger game"
He took us ashore and up to his little
house, where he left us to dry off and
get warm. Before midnight he re-
turned with the panther's hide!
Strangely enough, the minister's
horse managed to struggle ashore, and
was found next morning with he buggy
wedged between two small trees on
the river bank. The animal was
chilled and weak, but otherwise I'M
harmed.
My trip to Bakersville had indeed
proved to be spiced with adventure.
but it is not that which makes it pleas
ant to recall so much as the resulting
friendship of the Wilburs, which has
been one of the happiest friendships
of my life.-Orange Judd Farmer.

We were of promptly at 6:30, all
bundled up. and with big carriage
umbrella clamped to the seat. The
rain was falling, If anything, harder
than ever. and even the road was get
ting to be like the bed of shallow
brook. Our route took us up the river
valley, the road every now and then
skirting the very edge of the stream.
We could see by the light of our Ian
tern. hung in front of the dashboard,
that the water was already almost
bank-high. There was still unmelted
snow in the recesses of the mountains.
and this warm, long-continued April
rain was rapidly swelling the tribu-

WHAT ROME THINKS

DR.. Lapponi. the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come so greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, aud
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by. the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus <, il q man Of
commanding genius. He il more than
mere man of science he is . man Of
original and independent mind. On
trammeled by the "etiquette" Of the
medical profession and having used DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts aud endorses the value
of this remedy with all authority which
no one will venture to question.
Or. Lapponrs Eettsr.
II certify that I have used DR..
Williams Pink Pills in four cases
of the simple an@mia of develop
ment. After few weeks of treat
ment, the result came fully up omy
expectations. For that reason I
shall not fail in the future to extend
the use of this laudable preparation
not only in the treatment of other
forms Of the category of anmmia or
chlorosis, but also in cases Of neuras-
thenia aud the like"
(Signed) GIUSEPPE LAPPoNI,
Via del Gracchi 1872. Rome.
The "simple an@mja Of development,'
referred to by DR.. Lapponi, is Of course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy aud whose health, at that period,
is so often imperiled. His opinion Of
the value Of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at that time is of tho
highest scientific authority, and it con-
firms the many published cases in which
ansemia and other diseases of the blood,
as well as nervous diseases such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, st. vitus'
dance, paralysis aud locomotor ataxia
haze been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood aud
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be &C.
copied by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.
