The Royal Month and the Royal
Disease


Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying. and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and
consumptiye. The progress Of scrof-
ula during a normal October is COM
monty great. We never think OF
scrofula--its punches. cutaneous
eruptions and wasting of the bodily
substance-without thinking of the
great good many sufferers from It
have derived from Hoods Sarsaparil-
la, whose radical and permanent
cures of this one disease are enough
to make it the most famous medicine
In the world. There is probably not
a city or town where Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has not proved its merit in
more homes than one in arresting and
completely eradicating scrofula
which is almost as serious and as
much to be feared as its near rela-
tive--consumption.

ever science can suggest. But it
would be wise for you to, set your
house in order" ..
That afternoon George Werner
looked up and asked Anna, who was
sitting by the cot, to call her uncle.
So Anna brought him in and they
sat by Georges side, and for a mo-
ment there was,a little silence.
Nov, friends" said George, "I've
got a little deal to propose to you,
and, of course, you are going to let
me have my way about IL - you
wouldn't think of opposing me now.
That's out of the question" He
paused and caught his breath. "Give
me my own time about this. I'll get
somewhere presently. In the first
place, I am George Werner, Of Bos-
ton-and nothing else to boast OF. Il
! am Quite alone in the world, save for
my mother, who is now somewhere in

those papers, Anna, wnen-when 1t
is necessary. There is a letter there
for my lawyer and another for my

, Don't" said Anna very softly, and
turned away her head.
George reached out suddenly and
caught her hand.
Stay here" he said. "I'm almost
through, and I'll do the rest Of my
talking to Uncle Jim. Now, see here,
Uncle Jim, I want to do a square deed
before I say quit. I've led a pretty
careless and selfish life, and it does
nae good to think that I've got this

A Brief Surprise.

with which new members of the

The Power Behind the Stage.

King Edward, it is reported, de-
sired a London player whose make
up in a current drama was thought
extensively to suggest one Of his ma
jesty's close friends to change the
outward aspect of his characterize
ton. The actor declined on the score
that a change would endanger the
success of the play. Here was a con-
fict which must have suggested to
the king the limited prerogative OF
royalty these days. In other times
1t would have been "Ot with his
head!"-New York Dramatic Mirror.

"By Jove, I feel better and stronger

"And mine is George"
The girl arose.

there an is a bright boy. He'll see

Eyes, Anna"
He laughed suddenlyand the breeze
lightly ruffled his hair and the song
of. the creek was like a lullaby in his
ears.
When the girl came out bearing
tray he was fast asleep, the smile still
on his white face.
She put the tray down softly on
little table.
Poor tenderfoot," she murmured
"All alone an with his mother away
in foreign parts. 1t makes me plumb
sorry"
And she seated herself on the steI
and waited for him to awake.
Twenty-four hours later George
Werner was settled in his canvas hab
itation. 1t had a board floor, ant
sides that would roll up and a place
for his books and his clothes, and
comfortable cot.

For a time the invalid seemed to

But nothing pleased him better
than to get out some favorite book

to read carefully to avoid hoarseness,

Anna was a rapt listener, and what

the authors he loved-and Robert
Louis Stevenson more especially.
"He was a 'lunger,'. too" George
explained, "and' always frail and deli
cate yet full of hopefulness and
helpfulness. But the darkness fell on
him at last; fell on him at a time
when he could have still done much
for the world he loved so dearly.
Why, what's the matter?"
For the girl had suddenly risen and
gone away sobbing.
George Werner stared after her.
II must be more CAREFUL; he said,
"But it was strange for her to take 1t
that way"
So the girl and the invalid became

answered: ~ have but to. wave my
