The Clouds of Trouble Gather

Ply the route beyond the river that Van was
= obliged to choose, the distance from his
claim to Starlight was nearly forty miles. His
pony had no shoes, and, having never been
ridden far, was a trife soft for "a trip involving
difficulties such as this mountain work abun-
dainty afforded. When they came to Phono-
lite Pass the last of the cut-offs on the trail,
Van rode no more than hundred yards into
its shadows before he feared he must turn.
Phonolite is broken shale, thin sharp rock
that gives forth a pleasant metallic sound
when struck, like shattered crockery. For
mile this deposit lay along the trail across the
width of the pass. For the barefooted pony
here was cruelty in every step. The barrier of
rock was far more formidable than the river in
its flood.
Van was not to be halted in his object. He
had letter to deliver; he meant to take it
through, no matter what difficulties might be-
set him. The hour was 1ate the was rap

four hours-on the mare Beth had lost-to

long black revolver that he held in his hand
rested on shattered boulder. His narrow eyes
lay level with rift in the group of rocks that
hid him completely from view. Van was in

FAVOURABLE" HEART DISEASE
SOON CURED
Who VIII Send $3.50 Worth of Special
Treatment and New Book Free.

To demonstrate the remarkable cur
ative powers of his new and complete
SPECIAL Personal Treatments for heart
disease, short breath, pain in the side,
oppression in the chest, irregular
pulse, palpitation, smothering spells,
putting of the ankles or dropsy, DR..
Miles will send, free, TO every afflicted
person. $3.50 worth of treatment. The
worst cases soon relieved.
They are the result of % years of
extensive research and remarkable
success in treating the various all
ments of the heart, stomach and
nerves, which so often complicate each
case. So astonishing are the results
of his treatment that he does not hes
itate to offer all afflicted persons a
two-pound Trial Treatment free.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have such
confidence in their treatments. There
is no reason why all afflicted persons
should not avail themselves of this
liberal offer, as they may never have
such an opportunity again. Delays are
dangerous. No death comes more sud-
denly than that from heart disease.

Oh, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BE PROUD ?

WILLIAM KNOX.
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?
Like swift -heeting meteor, fast-hyng cloud,
A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave,
Man passes from lite to his in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old, and the low and the high,
Shall moder to dust, and together shall ie
The infant mother attended and loved
The mother that infants affection who proved:
The husband that mother and infant who blessed,
Each, ALL are away to their dwellings OF rest
The maid whose cheek on whose brow in whose eve
Shone beauty and pleasure-her triumphs by;
And the memory of those who loved her nd praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worm
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to SOW and to reap:
The herdsman who climbed with his goats up the steep:
The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread
Have faded away like the grass that tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of Heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust
So the multitude goes, like the flowers or the weed
That withers away to let others succeed:
So the multitude comes, those behold.
10 repeat every tale that has often been told
For are the same our fathers have been:
We see the same sights fathers have seen,-
We drink the same stream and view the same SUM-
And run the same fathers have run
The thoughts we thinking fathers would think
From the death shrinking fathers would shrink
To the life we are clingng they also would cling;
But it speeds for us all, like a bird the wing.
They loved, but the story unfold:
They scorned but the heart OF the naughty is cold:
They greved but no wall from their sumbers will Gomez
They ioyed but the tongue of their gladness dumb
They died, aye! they died. and things that are now
Who walk on the turf that lies their brow
Who make in their dwellings a transient abode
Meet the things that they their pilgrimage road
Yea! hope and despondency pleasure and pain,
We minge together in sunshine and rain
And the smiles and the tears, the song and the drge
Still follow each other, like surge upon surge
Tis the wink of eye, tits the draught of a breath:
From the blossom of health to the paeness OF death
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud
Oh, why should the spirit OF mortal be proud?

The Golden Girl"

The Savannah Morning News, of
yesterday, says:
There is no mistaking the fact
that The Golden Girl is 14-kt. Every
person in last nights audience at the
Savannah theatre is ready TO make
affidavit TO the correctness of lhis es-
say. And not only is the Girl herself
made OF the real merit. The big com
pany that was sent out of Chicago by
Mort Singer has the true ring from
the smallest broiler right on up the
line. It Is one of the strongest and
best staged musical productions 1t has
ever been the good fortune of Savan-
nah theatregoers to see. II is diff
cult to say what Is the best thing in
The Golden Girl because there Is so
much merit in it. The production is
gorgeously staged; the ensembles are
both novel and beautiful; the fun is
tast and furious; the music is tune
full; the principals and the chorus can
sing and dance; there is world of
comedy; a touch Of pataos here and
there and the dialogue is as bright as
the yellow metal itself II all seemed
too good TO be real"
