Habit-forming Medicines.

less influence, this publicity has certainty

attention to this subject, i has, In
considerable measure. resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding. such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ingre-
dients complained Of. Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce OF Buffalo,
n Y, rtook time by the forelock, as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
pletely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper, 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-forring drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing In the
depths of our American forests and of
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even In small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases of diseases, becomes highly objec-
tionable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DIR. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy In many cases of chronic diseases,
being a superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutrtive.
1t enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in
rGolden Medical Discovery" in all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. As will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, Of New York; Bartholow, Of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of
Cincinnati; Elllngwood, Of Chicago;
Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools Of
practice, the foregoing agents are the
Uery best ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his ia
nous discovery" for the cure of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec
tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all
its various forms wherever located.

AWFUL SUFFERING.
Foot-System All Run Down
Miraculous Cure by Cuticura.

Words cannot speak highly enough
for the Cuticura Remedies. l am now
seventy-two years of age. My system
had been all run down. My blood was
so bad that blood poisoning had set
in. / had several doctors attending
me, so finally 1 went to the hospital,
where l was laid up for two months.
My foot and ankle were almost beyond
recognition. Dark blood flowed out Of
wounds in many places, and l was so
disheartened that / thought surely my
last chance was slowly leaving me. AS
the foot did not improve, you can
readily imagine how l felt. I was
simply Disguised and tired of life. I
stood this pain, which was dreadful,
for six months, and during this time I
was not able to wear a shoe and not
able to work. Some one spoke to me
[ bought a set of the Cutlcura Rene
dies of one of my friends who was a
druggist and the praise that 1 gave
after the second application is beyond
description; it seemed miracle, for
the Cuticura Remedies took effect i'm
mediately. | washed the foot with the
Cuticura Soap before applying the
Ointment, and I took the Resolvent at
the same time. After two weeks treat
ment my foot was healed completely.
People who had seen my foot during
my illness and who have seen it since
the cure, can hardly believe their own
eyes. Robert Schoenhauer, Newburgh,

He had descended the brass-bound steps,
and as be spoke the last words he led the
way into the saloon. A sail had been
cast over the open skylight, so that the
full glare of day failed to penetrate into
the roomy cabin. Upon the oilcloth-cov-
cred table Jay rolled sheet of brown
paper In the rough form Of torch, and
beside 1t box of matches.
II burn brown paper" said the sailor.
quietly, as he struck light and ignited
the paper-.it is the only disinfectant
have left"
''You need 1t" exclaimed the officer.
In the meantime the other had advanc-
ed further into the cabin. Upon the floor,
beyond the table, with their heads resting
upon the hatch of the iazarette, lay two
men whose forms were distinguishable be-
meath the dusky sheets cast over them.
Those are the last of nineteen" said
the ragged man, waving aside the acrid
smoke. II have buried seventeen my
self, and nursed nineteen. That is the
steward, this the first mate. They quar-
relied when they were-alive. 1t seems

but the more got to know of yellow fe-
yer the greater was my respect for it. |
nursed them to the best of my knowledge,
and then I-played parson."
He pointed to an open Bible lying on
the floor. The little officer was watching
him with peculiar and continuous scru-
tiny. He barely glanced at the Bible or
at the still forms beneath the unwashed
sheet. All his attentic-l was concentrat-
ed upon the survivor.
"And now" he said, deliberately, IF
you will kindly go on board the Foam /
shall take charge of this ship"
"Eh?'
They stood looking at each other. 1t
is rather a difficult task for small man
to look up into face that is considera-
bly, above him, with continued dignity.
I'm take command of the ship" he
said soothingly; you are only fit for the
sick list"
Across the long and sunken face there
cleaned again an unpleasant smile-a
mere contraction of the features, for the
eyes remained terribly solemn. Then he
looked round the cabin in dreamy way,
and moved toward the base of the mizzen-
mast.
II have navigatcd her almost single
handed for fortnight" he said; II am
glad you came"
Then the officer led him away from the
cabin.

CHAPTER III.

From the moment that the ragged
steersman opened his mournful gray eyes
and looked upon the sunburned face of
Lieut. Grace he had felt himself insensi-
bly, drawn toward his rescuer. This feel
ing was not the mere sense of gratitude
which was naturally awakened, but some
thing stronger. 1t was almost a convic-
tion that this chance meeting on the deck
of fever-stricken ship was something
more than an incident. 1t was begin
ning-the beginning of new influence
upon his life.
When Grace laid his sunburned hand
upon the sleeper's shoulder he had felt
pleasantly conscious of contact which
had further import than mere warm fan
mel and living muscle. 1t was distinctly
sympathetic in it's influence, for there is
a meaning in touch. AS the two men
emerged on deck the officer turned to-
ward his companion.
I'm another hour" he said, "that small
dog would have been dead"
"Ah! you've saved him?" exclaimed the
other.
Yes. He will recover. I know dogs
Hes had no water since Tuesday"
He looked rather like it. Come. We
will go on board my ship and report to
the old man, while you get a meal-some
soup | should think will be the best. You
will have to be careful"
He led the way aft, toward the rail
where the men, having found rope lad
der, were lowering it over the side. Be-
fore reaching them he turned.
by the way" he said quietly, what
is your name?'
"Tyars-Claud Tyars"
"Claud Tyars," repeated the little Off
Ger, musingly, as if searching in his mind
for some recollection. There was a
Tyars in the C%nbridge boat two years
ago-a Trinity man."
"Yes-there was"
Lieut. Grace looked up in his singu-
lar, searching way.
"You are the man?"
II am the man."
With little nod the young officer con-
tinued his way. They did not speak
again until they were seated in the gig on
the way toward the Foam.
II had cousin" the officer remarked
then in cheerfully conversational man
ner, "at Cambridge. He would be a con-
temporary of yours. My name is Grace. /"
The rescued man acknowledged this
neat introduction with a grave nod.
i remember him WE'LL" he replied. "a
great mathematician"
Il believe he was" answered Grace.
He was looking toward his ship, which
was near at hand. The crew were group
ed amidships, peering over the rail, while
tall old man on the quarter deck, stop
ping in his meditative promenade occa-
sionally, watched their approach with the
aid Of pair of marine glasses.
The skipper is on the lookout for MS. +"
continued the young officer in low tone
of voice requiring no reply.
"A slaveri" inquired Tyars, following
the direction of his companions eyes.
"Yes, SLAYER, and the quickest ship
upon the coast"
Propelled by strong and willing arms.
the boat soon reached the yacht-like yes-
sci, and in a few minutes Claud Tyars
was repeating his story to her captain

It was more like the rattle In choking
mans throat than anything else that he
could think of. He turned quickly, and
stood gazing upon the saddest sight he
had yet seen In all his life. Over the
tangled ropes the COUNT figure of white
dog was creeping toward him. This poor
dumb brute was most piteous and heart
rending, for the very dumbness of its
tongue endowed its bloodshot, staring
eyes with heaven-born eloquence.
As 1t approached there came from Its
throat repetition Of the sickening
crackle. The young officer stopped over
1t with kindly word and caress. Then,
and then only, did he realize that the
black and shriveled object hanging from
its open lips was naught else but the
poor brute's tongue. This was more like
piece of dried-up leather than living
flesh.
Water " said the officer quickly to the
man climbing over the rail behind him.
Some moments elapsed before the small
beaker was handed up from the boat, and
during these the officer moistened his fin
ger at his own lips, touching the dogs
tongue tenderly and skillfully.
Look after the poor brute" he said
to the man, who at length brought the
water. Don't give him too much at
first"
With lighter step he walked aft, and
climbed the brass-bound companion lad
der, while two of the boats crew follow
ed upon his heels.
Upon the upper deck he stopped sud-
denly, and the color left his lips. There,
at the wheel, upon an ordinary kitchen
chair, sat man. His two hands clutch
ed the brass-bsnd spokes; his head lay
prone upon his arms. A large Panama
hat completely hid his features, and the
wide, graceful brim touched his bent
shoulders.
As the stately vessel slowly rocked up
on the CLASSY sweep of rolling wave the
great wheel perked from side to side,
swaying the mans body with it. From
one muscular arm the shirt sleeve had
fall,n back, displaying sinews like cords
beneath the skin. Here was Death steer
ing a dead ship through lifeless waters.
And yet in the dramatic picture there
was strange sense of purpose. The
man was dashed to the chair. If life

least fought a good fight. Beneath the
old Panama hat an unusual brain had
at one time throbbed and planned and
conceived purpose. This was visible
In the very simplicity of his environ
ments, for he was at least comfortable.
Some biscuits lay upon the grating beside
him--there was bunting on the seat and
back of the chair-while the rope loosely
knotted around his person seemed to in
dictate that sleep, and perhaps death,
had been provided for and foreseen.

CHAPTER TT.

Gently and with excusable hesitation
the naval officer raised the brim of the
large hat and displayed the face of q
living man. There could be no doubt
about it. The strong face bore the signs
Of perfect health--the brown hair and
closely cropped beard were glossy with
life.
Hes asleep" whispered one of the
sailors-a young man who had not
known discipline long.
"Halloo, my man! Wake up" called
out the young officer, clapping the
sleeper on the back.
The effect was instantaneous. The
sleeper opened his eyes and rose to his
feet simultaneously, releasing himself
from the rope which was hitched over
the back of his chair. Despite ragged
shirt and trousers, despite the old Pana-
ma hat with its limp brim, despite bare
feet and tarry hands, there was some
thing about this sailor which placed him
on par with the officer. These social
distinctions are too subtle for most of us.
We can feel them, but to explain is be-
yond us. We recognize gentleman, but
we can In nowise define one. This sail
or's action was perfectly spontaneous and
natural as he faced the officer. 1t was
an unconscious assertion OF social equal
ity.
An English officerl'' he exclaimed
holding out his hand. II am glad to
see the uniform again."
The small man nodded his head with
out speaking, but he grasped the brown
hand somewhat tremendously. The form
of greeting was also extended to the two
seamen by the ragged sailor.
Are you in command of this vessel?"
inquired Lieut.. Grace, looking round crit
ically.
II am--at present. / shipped as sec
ond mate, but have now the honor of be-
ing captain, and bottle washer"
The men moved away, looking about
them curiously. The younger made for
the deck house, seeking the compan-
ion way below.
.Halloo!" exclaimed the solitary mari
ner, "where are you men going TO? Hold
hard. there, you fellows. Let me go
down first"
TEs stoutly built little officer held up
warning hand to his men. Then he
turned and looked keenly into his COM
panion's face. The glance was returned
with the calm speculation Of man who
had not yet found his normal match.
