r. HERE was great excitement in
Washington when it was reported
the other day that Pete, the bulldog
had returned.
Pete was the pet who almost started
war between the United States and
the rest of the world by tearing the
trousers of diplomats. At one time he
had the United States army on the
run in the person of the secretary Of
war
Pete disappeared some time ago,
and diplomats, cabinet members and
senators, knowing how much the
president thought of him, called at
the White House to offer condolences,
coming out all smiles.
Then came the report that Pete had
reappeared. Only strangers entered
he White House grounds after this re-
port became current. The president
himself was one of the most inter.
ested. He said If Pete had returned
it was a twentieth century miracle.
So he investigated.
The investigation developed that
Thomas r. Stone, veteran usher at the
White House, had a brindle bulldog,
which he has named Pete In honor OF

in the faint glow of the coming moon
light, he springs off his horse and
utters an exclamation of delight.
AS he pulls himself sailor fashion
into the saddle, he has a branch
of crimson flowers in his hand.
He is not certain even now that
they indicate Marina; though they
have fallen from no overhang-
ing bough, only beech and Larriccio
frs being near him, he knows cycla-
men flowers are very common in the
island, and the little barefooted boys
and girls sometimes carry them in
their hands.
In the group of hamlets on the hill
sides called Morosaglia, Anstruther
does not pause.
But as he reaches the confines Of
the village, the young husband starts
and his eyes, which fatigue had dulled,
glisten with hope. Here are two paths,
trail leading to the north, the other
and broader one pointing east toward
| the Tuscan sea. Along the latter, eye
lamen branches have been dropped
| several times in short hundred yards.
Their number is significant, they
have been strewn quite continuously
from the forks of the road. MY dar-
| ling's message to me-" murmurs An
struther, and rides as hastily as his
tired though why little horse will take
him.
The branches of the sweet-smelling
| posies he still encounters on the trail
hurry him up hill and down hill, over
! running mountain streams, through
wooded wales. Yet at least Nature
must have its meed-despite all efforts
of the rider, his head droops and his
| figure becomes lax in the saddle.
His steed with whinny of JOY al
most runs down into little valley and
drawing suddenly up before high
campanile stone building, Anstruther
falls off his horse into the arms of a
good Monk of the Convent Of Piedi
croce, who mutters; Thank the
Saints, you got here alive in time to
drink the water of Orezza." For An
struther's appearance between fear

that OF man nigh onto death.
The hospitable friars put the invalid
to bed and at high noon the next day

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu
falgia Is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady viii not
be SO anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, it is
now one of the most common and pain.
full ailments which aflict Humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection Of the nervous
system, with pain in the course OF the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the BLOOD
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing is to relieve the pain
which is done more quickly and salts
'actorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than BY
any othe- remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
