There, the woman had said, he should
find the means of liberty Breathless,
he passed the guard at the foot of the
turret stairs, who saluted stolidly and,
mounting two steps at a time, flung
aside the curtain over the door of the
first apartment, and ran to the inner
room. On couch lay many-colored
bundle. The king undid it with hasty
trembling fingers. 1t was the dress of

derstood the Spaewife's plan.
He tore off his Spanish costume, and
picked up the gypsy's. Laboring with
the ties and fastenings, it was some
minutes before he stood transformed
into tall, comely girl, in short green
skirt with tarnished gold trappings
and wide, iong-sleeved jacket. A quick
application of brown nut-stain to
cheeks and eyebrows, changed the
fresh Stuart skin to a duslgy olive;
the remainder of the stain he poured
over his white hands and on his arms.
Then he glanced round the room. The
scarf to wind round his head and hide
his curls was wanting! James tossed
his discarded clothes in all directions
in his search for the missing head
dress but he could find none. and time
was flying
A bell changed the hour of midnight,
Clad as he was, James hurried from
the room and up the winding stairs
into the apartments of the ladies' Of
the court. Not even a servant was to
be seen-all had gone on holiday.
The king opened the door of a small
inner room gently. 1t was a sleeping
chamber, and pile Of feminine finery
lay in one corner. In a trice he had
snatched from the heap a long red
scarf Of quaint device, and, turning,
fled downstairs again.
Meanwhile Margaret, daughter to
the earl, in the garden suddenly found
herself confronted by her father. He
was flushed and excited, and his voice
trembled somewhat, with rage or fear,
as he accosted her roughly with the
question:

"The Blood is The Life.n

Science has never gone beyond tho
above simple statement of scripture. But
it has Illuminated that statement and
given it meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth OF knowledge.
When the blood is "bad or impure it
is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded. the mind and judgement are
effected, and many an evil deed or impure
thought may be directly traced to the
impurity of the blood. Foul, impure blood
can be made pure by the use of DR..

enriches and purifes the blood thereby
curing, pimples, blotches, eruptions and
other cutaneous affections, as eczema,
tetter, or salt-rheum, hives and other
manifestations Of impure blood.

In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en-
larged glands, open eating ulcers, or old
sores, the Golden Medical Discovery 9has
performed the most marvellous cures. In
cases of old sores, or open eating ulcers,
it is well to apply to the open sores DIR.
Pierce's All-Healing Salve, which pos
sesses wonderful healing potency when
used as an application to the sores in con-
junction with the use Of Golden Medical
Discovery as a blood cleansing consti-

BLINU KEY OPERATOR
TELEaRAPHER KEEPS FAMILY BY
HIS SKILL.
Left Without a Father at Age of IL
He Learns to Send Out and Re-
ceive Messages and Becomes
Highly Proficient.

Carmi, Ill.-Blind since birth, Gil.
bert Mcdonald, probably the most
wonderful telegrapher in the world,
lives at Maunie, little village on the
Louisville G. Nashville railroad, and
earns living for his widowed mother
and three sisters. He is perhaps the
only blind telegraph operator in the
world, and can practice at the key
with as much dexterity as one not
minus his eyes. Mcdonald is %
years old and has been a telegraph
operator about ten years. Not until
recently, though, has he been recog-
nized by the railroad and given per-
manent employment He is now as
sistant operator at Maunie and also
has charge of the Western Union
Telegraph companys office.
Left without a father at the age OF
12, the blind lad was forced to assist
his mother in making a living. He
was greatly handicapped by the losl
Of his eyesight, and many neighbors
sought to contribute to him through
charitable motives. But the lad would
have none of it, and worked at what
ever he could find to do. He sold
papers on the streets, blacked shoea
and ran errands.
He finally drifted to the depot, and
a strong attachment grew between
John w. Foster, agent at the little sta
ton, and the blind lad For hours tho
boy would sit and listen at the busy
clickety-click of the wire. One day
I; La n

frmative and the boy went to work.
In less than NC : could send,
and in less than bali q y, i he was
marvel at the key. Each day he would
copy messages and take them home at
night There his sisters would teach
him their meaning. He soon became
proficient on the typewriter and could
take the fastest message that went
over the wire with ease.
Persisting in this unique schooling,
the boy learned the meaning of over
1900 words, knowing the spelling and
proper use of each. He in time learned
to make change, sell tickets and weigh
baggage. He became an object of in
terest to railroad men, and the agent
at Maunie employed him to assist him
with his work.
One day when the agent was away
the fast st. Louis mail and express
flyer stopped at the station. Superin-
tendent j. W. Logsdon stepped off and
ran into the depot. He looked on in
wonder as the blind boy sold tickets.
made change and answered questions
as well apparently as one with eyes.
AS soon as Mr.. Logsdon returned
home he interested the railroad of
ficials in the blind boy and Mcdonald
was accordingly sent to the state
blind school at Jacksonville. While
there he distinguished himself by
rapid progress. He remained but a
few months and returned to work at
his post at Maunie.
Mcdonald is one of the speediest
operators in the west. When the
Shawnetown food threatened to sub
merge the town last January he was
ordered to assist the Western Union
operator in handling press specials
