Randall turned and rode along the
bank to the iron bridge. When his
horse’s feet struck the floor, Amelia
cried aloud that the dreadful war of
the water deafened her, and fell life
less in the arms of Mary Brownlee.
With no shadow of apprehension,
Randall rode on until the middle of
the bridge was reached; then, with no
visible cause and without an instant’s
warning the structure collapsed and
he was hurled into the furious current
below. Two hours elapsed before the
horrified witnesses of the tragedy re
covered his body.
Years have gone by and the wooden
bridge is still standing and echoing
to the tread of passing footsteps, while
in a quiet corner of God’s Acre, Ran
dall and Amelia are sleeping side by
side, victims of a presentiment that
caused the very calamity of which it
seemed to be a warning.

“Well, I’ll make it as short as pos
sible; this good woman —Mrs. Ransome
is her name —secured a position for me
where I worked for a year, being pro
moted twice for efficiency. Then, after
consulting Mrs. Ransome, I wrote my
wife —I had learned that she haj not
NEARLY SMOTHERED.
Chandler, S. C. —Mrs. Augusta Lo
max, of this place, writes: “I had
smothering spells every day, so bad
that I expected death at any time. I
could not sit up in bed. I suffered
from womanly troubles. My nerves
were unstrung. I had almost given
up all hope of ever being better. I
tr’ed Card’u, and it did me more good
than anything I had ever taken. I
am better now than I ever expected
to be.” Thousands of ladies have
written similar letters, telling of the
merits of Cardui. It relieved their
headache, backache and misery, just
as it will relieve yours, if you will
let it. Try.

re-married —telling her of the resolve
I had made, and what I had been doing
since my release, and begged her to
forget the past and come to me.
“It’s a wonder I did not go back to
drink when I received her answer.
The temptation was terrible, and if it
hadn’t been for Mrs. Ransome’s words
of encouragement and hope for the fu
ture, I would have drifted back to the
broad highway, sure. My wife inform
ed me that after the misery I had
brought into her life, she could not
trust herself and baby to my keeping
again.
“Two days later I informed Mrs.
Ransome that I could not live in New
York any longer, and had accepted a
position with a large company having
sugar plantations in Cuba. Dear old
lady! I can still see the lines of anx
iety and care that wrinkled her brow
as she bade me good-bye at the gang
way, and made me promise to write
her every week.
■' ‘Remember, my boy,’ said she, ‘that
w’hatever others may think of you, I
have faith in you and your future; may
God bless you and keep you in the
narrow path.’
“Cheered by her confidence in me, I
went to work with a will in the land
of my adoption; my life has been
clean, and I have prospered. I have
written Mrs. Ransome regularly, and
her letters of encouragement have been
more to me than you can ever know.”
He paused, and sat silent. Around
us was the usual hustle and activity
attendant on approaching port. I
wanted to say something but hardly
knew what to say. Finally, I re
marked:
“And now, after five years, you are
going back to see this dear old lady
who has done so much for you ’’
His gaze went far out to sea. His
eyes were moist. His lips trembled
almost imperceptibly.
“Yes,” he said at last. “A week
ago she wrote asking me to come to
see her, as she had a pleasant sur
prise for me; and —and enclosed in
The Golden Age for May 1, 1913
her letter was a note from my girl—
the baby I have never seen —saying,
‘Your baby girl wants to see you,
daddy.’ Say, Bell,” he swallowed hard
at his Adam’s apple, “do you think
that the —surprise is—that my wife
will —” His emotions choked his ut
terance.
“God bless you, I hope so.” I repli
ed. “You deserve it! Whatever
crimes you have committed you have
paid the penalty, and deserve to be
happy. I feel sure your wife will
make no mistake in trusting her fu
ture to your keeping. May God bless
you both.”
He turned, and looked shoreward.
While we had been talking the ship
had crept up almost to the quaran
tine station.
“Why, we’re almost in!” he exclaim
ed. rising. “I must get my things to
gether.” Excusing himself, he left
me
As I was leaving the ship I saw
him again. He was on the gang-way
just ahead of me. As he reached the
dock he paused anj looked around
him. Out of the crowd came two
women and a girl. The elder woman
—her hair silver-white —reached him
first. Placing her hands on his shoul
ders she kissed him; then taking his
hand( she, reached for the hand of
her companion—a sweet-faced woman
of about thirty-five—ana placed them
together. For the space of a second
they looked into each other’s eyes,
then, opening his arms, he folded her
to his breast. As I turned away I
heard the girl say:
“Daddy, aren’t you going to kiss
your baby girl?”

Suffered For Months With
PELLAGRA
Given Up To Die—Used My Treatment Four
Months—Now ENTIRELY CURED.
State of Alabama, Walker County.
Before me, J. Frank Baker, a Notary Public in and for said State
and county, personally appeared Mrs. Emma Yates, who being duly
sworn, deposes and says that on or about the Ist of March, 1911, she
called upon Dr. J , of Nauvoo, a practicing physician, for treat-
ment for a disease known as pellagra. She used his treatment two
months without benefit and was told she could not live. She then
went to Dr. S , of Nauvoo, but he refused to treat her, saying
she could not be cured. After these doctors failed she went to G. P.
Baughn on or about December 1, 1911, and after taking Baughn’s Pel
lagra Remedy for one week began to improve. She used his remedy
for about four months, then she was entirely cured and in good health.
