Fingers Distorted and Stiffened, the Heel of one foot tight against his hip, Charles Calhoun, Jr., suf-
 fered for Two Years.
DR WILLIAMS PINK PILLS CURED HIM AND IN A SHORT TIME HE COULD WALKAS WELL AS EVER, IS NOW ENTIRELY RECOVERED AND WORKS
 EVERY DAY IN THE MILL AT CAPRON N.Y.

For a generation Dr Williams Pink Pills have been curing rheumatism and other diseases caused by poor blood and during that time certain cures have been published that were so marvellous in their nature that they have been termed modern miracles. Such cure was that of Charles Calhoun, Jr., now living at Capron, N. Y, and employed in mill there. The facts in the case are widely known in the neighborhood in which MT Calhoun lives and the cure is regarded locally as nothing short of miraculous.
 COULD NOT MOVE HIMSELF.
 When the Calhoun family was living at Winfield, N. r., some years ago the young man was taken sick. "Our fam fly doctor pronounced 1t inffammatory rheumatism" says MT Calhoun, "and he attended me for about year. For nine months l was confined to the bed and in such agony that l could not bear the weight of the sheets nor to have anyone touch me. 1 could not move myself at all.
 CASE SEEMED HOPELESS.
 "The rheumatism was complicated with nervous trouble resembling St Vitus' dance, my limbs and head jerked and l suffered all the agonies possible. Blisters were applied to my knees un- til they left scars but I could not feel them. My fingers began to draw out of shape and get stiff.
 ''In spite of the doctors treatment and all the medicine l took l kept getting worse. My feet swelIed so that l could not get stocking on and I could not straighten up at all. Finally the doctor told my father he could do nothing more for me.
 ABLE TO WALK ONCE MORE.
 "At this time Dr Williams Pink Pills were recommended to me and found relief in the first box. After taking three boxes I could walk. Il continued to take them steadily until cured. That was in 1895. I have

 THE MOTHERS GRATITUDE.
 Mrs Charles Calhoun, Sr., writing re- gardipg her sons case, says:
 His limbs got so drawn up that his right heel was tight against his hip and we were afraid the disease would cause his early death or leave him a cripple for life. When he began taking the pills he had not walked for three months and after he had taken the third box he could walk as we'll as ev- CT. Dr Williams Pink Pills were cer- tainly God-send to him and l would advise every sufferer to try them."
 This case is an unusual one but it it. lustrates the wonderful power of Dr Williams Pink Pills in striking way. These pills are tonic for the blood and nerves, are absolutely harmless, and contain no opiate or habit-forming drugs. They build up the blood and through the blood, strengthen the nerves. They cure anaemla and all diseases depending upon or resulting from an anaemic condition such as rheumatism, headaches, neuralgia, sci atica and several forms of partial par alysis and are of marked benefit during convalescence from acute diseases such as grip and wasting levers.
 HOW TO CURE YOURSELF.
 If your are sick and the treatment you are taking does not help you write now, to the Dr Williams Medicine Co.,. Schenectady, N. r., for proof of what the pills have accomplished in cases similar to yours. They are never ad- vertised to cure anything that we can- not prove they have cured.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all, druggists or will be mailed, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50. Booklet on Diseases of the Blood" mailed free on request.

HOW TO WASH cHAMoIs.
Gloves Of That Kind Should Be
Cleansed In Bath Of Soapy Water.

Every woman is under the impress
sion that chamois skin gloves are
grand till she has tried to wash
pair. They are said to wash SO easily
that the one who has a pair seldom
makes any attempt to keep them clean
in the beginning. She is sure that all
she has to do is to give them care
less scrubbing to make them as good
as new that she doesn't take even the
ordinary precautions. Wait till she
has tried washing them just once, and
then hear her denounce anything made
of chamois skin forever after.
They can be washed to look like
new, however, If one but knows the lit
tie trick of leaving the soap in to keep
them soft. Again, 1t is bad policy to
wash them on the hand. as they are
sure to stretch this way. Rather
cleanse them by the squeezing method,
rolling them up in a little ball in the
palm of the hand. Wash in several
waters. all soapy. and finally pull into
shape without rinsing. Do not stretch
them in the least, but after working
the fingers into shape hang them In
a current OF air, but not near heat OF
any kind. When dry give them Wig

berries were ripening in limitless pro-

came here to pick, to eat, to hear the

happy.
They watched the rippled lake with
now and then a deer upon its shores,
from this ridge; they climbed up or
down it, hand in hand; they fished in
the lake or canoed about it, time and
again; and many summer evening,

CHAPTER V.

There were three people at Birch
Camp,-as Angie had christened it.
namely. herself. Ray. and Chip. who
did not share Martins suspicion OF
danger. A firm belief that a woman's
aid in such complication was of no
value. coupled with desire to save
her anxiety. had kept his lips closed
as to the situation.
Life here at all hours soon settled
itself into a certain daily routine OF
work. amusement, and. on Chips part,
of study. True to her philanthropic
sense of duty toward this waif. Angie
had at once set about her much-needed
education. A reading and spelling
book suitable for a child of eight had
been secured at the settlement. and
now lessons" occupied a few hours
of each day.
1t was only beginning, of course.
and yet with constant reminders as to
pronunciation, this was all that Angie
could do. The idioms of Tins Place.
with all its profanity, still adhered to
Chips speech. This latter, especially,
would now and then crop out in spite
of all admonitions; and SO Angie found
that her pupil made slow progress.
There was also another reason for
this. Chip was afraid of her. and oft
reproved for her lapses in speech.
soon ceased all unnecessary talk when
with Angie.
But with Ray 1t was different. He
was near her own age, the companion
ship of youth was theirs, and with him
Chips speech was ready enough. This,
of course, answered all the purposes
of benefit by assimilation, and SO
Angie was well satisfied that they
should be together Beyond that she
had no thought that love might accrue
from this association.
Chip, while fair of face and form.
and at a sentimental age, was SO
crude of speech, SO grossly ignorant.
and so allied to the ways and manners
of Tins Place, that. according to
Angles reasoning. Rays feelings were
safe enough. He was well bred and
refined, a happy. natural boy now
verging upon manhood. In Greenvale
he had never shown much interest in
girls society, and while he now
showed a playmate enjoyment OF
Chips company, that was all that was
likely to happen.
But the winged god wots not OF
speech or manners. A youth of 1S
and a maid of 16 are the same the
world over, and so out of sight of
Angie, and unsuspected by her, the
by-play of heart-interest went on.
And what glorious golden sum-
mer opportunity these two had!
