CHAPTER VI
A CRY FOR VENOEANCE.
For some momonts tho innkeeper stored
at bis son in silence.
Tho announcement that ho had jul
heard seemed to unsteady his nerves in a
wonderful manner. At length he said:
“Jerry, what in tho world are you talking
about? * What would Eagle Gray be up in
this region for?—he’s not a Western de
tective."
‘ Isn’t he?"
"You know ho is not. He won a great
name in New York and Washington, but ho
han’t any business out hero iu the silver
country."
The innkeeper was quite calm now, and
his broad palm covered the picture his son
had given into his hand.
“A good man-tracker is at home any
where, dad."
The young m m indulged in a grin.
“Well, it wouldn’t tike much of a detec
tive to track tho fellow who gave that old
chap his quietus last night. It is one
half iu knowing your man."
“True enough,** admitted Jerry, “but it’s
just possible that you made a mistake after
all."
“I couldn’t do that. Tho face of tho as
sassin is not now to me, it has been before
my eyes for years. ”
“Is that so?”
“Yes; but I do not care to discuss tho
subject. We must get the dead out of the
house ns soon ns possible. I don’t feel
just right with him up there. ”
“ ’Tain’t pleasant, that s a fact,” admitted
Jerry. “What do you s’pose the detective
\ras coin’ through this part of the couutry
for?*
“I'm not ready to believe that the little
man teas Eagle Gray.”
“Which shows that you haven’t got much
•ense, old man,” retorted Jerry in a dis
respectful tone. “Didn’t I see the feller j
in Yonkers a year ago? Good laud! I guess
I couldn't be mistaken in that face, §o full
of craft and cunning. Eagle ain’t out in
the Silver Hills fur nothing, you can bet
high on that, dad. If you or ma have been
doin’ anything onlawful you'd better look
■ly, that's all I’ve got to say about it.”
And then Mr. Jerry Swayne snatched the
photograph from the counter, where the
innkeeper had dropped it a moment before,
and turning on his heel strode from the
room and the house.
“More trouble brewing." muttered Lucius
Swayne. “Jerry must be right, the little
man is tho famous Eagle Gray, and he has
not come to the silver country for nothing.
Perhaps he is on the track of this young
fellow calling himself Wallis Wager. I
hope ro, for it would make things hot for
me if that old trail should warm up again."
The innkeeper looked uneasy as he
walked into the adjoining room.
Several important discoveries had been
made during the morning hours.
One of the horses belonging to the two
travelers was missing, and as it had not
rained sufficiently to deface all marks, the
hoof-marks could be traced some distance
down the incline toward Silversand.
This was evidence to the inmates of Bog
Tavern that the assassin had gone west,
and was doubtless ere this far up among
the hills, or perhaps hiding in the Silvei
City itself.
lie will, doubtless, never return tc
trouble me," thought the innkeeper, but he
was soon after to change his opinion in
this particular materially.
Immediately after noon preparations
were made for consigning the remains of
the murdered man to mother earth.
About a mile from the tavern lived the
“Swan.p Twins,” two brothers of giant
frame, who were carpenters in an amateui
way, and to these Jerry applied in the pres
ent emergency.
Prom them ne obtained a rude coffin, and
two hours after noon a procession, consist
ing of the innkeeper, his son, and the
twins, with a wagon and horse, left the
house on tho hill and moved down the in
cline to a bit of low' ground in the shadow
of some trees.
Here a shallow grave was scooped, and
all that was mortal of Samuel Fredon con
signed to the earth.
When the last shovelful of earth was
heaped above the dead, Sile Oxard, one of
the twins, removed his slouched hat, and
lifting a hand toward heaven cried out sud
denly, in au impassioned voice:
“May the Nemesis of Justice pursue the
killer of the poor old man who lays here,
and may no rest, peace, or comfort come to
him till ther halter o’ Jedge Lynch chokes
the wind outen his murderin’ carcass—
Amen!"
It was a homely invocation but it fell
with wonderful effect.
The seamed countenance of Lucius
Swayne paled, and his huge hands were
seen to tremble nervously as he laid them
on the rim of the wagon-wheel near.
Jerry’s face was stolid with the spirit of
Titter indifference.
“I cm say amen, also.”
All started at the sound of a low, soft,
yet clear voice.
A girl stood just beyond the mound above
the old man's breast, and her tw'o hands
went up, while a deep, fervid glow suff used
face, neck and temples.
“May heaven’s vengeance fall on the as
sassin of Foster Wandel! May justice over
take- those who would insinuate or sweni
that Wallis Wager murdered his friend.
The young man is iuuocent, but the guilty
is not far away, and the day of an awful re
tribution is coming, it is almost here!"
“Girl! what in the name of the globe are
you doing hero?" thundered Lucius
Swayne. springing forward, white with
rage and fear.
‘ Don’t touch me. Uncle Luaius.”
She stood back a pace and met his white,
rnging look with a calm defiance that mad
dened him stl more.
"Go to the hous..
“Have I 1 J; tl\ right *o come to *'
burial of the innocent?” retorted Iva in a
cutting tone. “Aunt Susan wanted to come,
but she did not feel able. I could not bear
to see that kind old man buried like a
dog."
“Iva. beware!”
A black frown settled over the face of
the innkeeper. lie reached forth suddenly
And seized the hands of the willowy girl,
his teeth ground together, and a look so
tierce, so cruel, so threatening and wicked
phot from his sunken eyes as to cause lva
to reel back with a cry of terror and pain.
The latter feeling was caused by the
tightning clinch of his hands on her wrists.
bhe writhed like one in agony.
“Release me, I will go.”
lie dropped ms clutch, and Iva sped
from the spot.
A white object lay half imbedded in the
damp sand where the girl had stood.
Stooping, Lucius Swnyne gathered the
object in his hand—it was a letter, with
“Iva Swavne” written on the envelope.
“Ha’” ‘
With that one ejaculation, the mnkeepei
thrust the letter into his p icket and turned
from the spot, hurrying after his niece.
It was ten minutes later when Ina was
again made aware that her actions at the
grave had aroused the iie of the Sw vnes.
She had stopped on her way to the tav
ern to visit a sick woman she knew, when
the form of Jerry burst suddenly into the
room.
Without waiting to explain the object of
his visit, he seized her arm roughly.
“You go home," he said, hoarsely, “ana
go quick. Dad has given the order, and
.don't you disobey him, if you're wise.”

queried Dusty Dan, at length. *1 roc lriu
as how no ono to ther zuiuiner born, so to
l speak, would ax so runny queer and fool
questions. ’’
A smile raised the dainty line of Mack
j mustache ou tho face of the little pawner, go r.
Evidently ho was not offeuded at tho
blunt honesty of his companion.
“I am a stringer," admitted Gray.
"Bo you goin' ter muko a homo iu Silver
sand?’
“Fora few weeks, perhaps.’*
"Specerlfttin’, rnobbe?"
“Muvbe."
While tho small innn managed to alicit
considerable information from th * stage
driver, he whs ca.vful not to return any
himself.
The man was Eagle Gray, as Jerry
Swayne bid surmised, and he had im
portant bns ness among the hills of the
silver land. What that business was Hit*
future will disclose.
The east-bound stage was passed some
miles out of Silversand. A few jokes were
exchanged between the drivers iws ti *y
swept by, and then the silence of oLd again
reigned.
Not more than a mile out of tho city
Dusty Dan brought his coach to a full atop. 1
A placard on a tree bornl the road hid
attracted his attention.
It was not there on the previous day, and j
it was this fact tint coused Dusty Dun to
halt and scan it with an :g!e eve.
“Uonsarn it. what does that mean? Can
you tell u, Cap? \o see, I left mv specs
ter home on the pianuor, and I can't read
nohow without ’cun."
Eagle Gray bout a ken glance at tho i
printed poster, and read Aloud:
“REWARD!
“Ono thousand dollars reward will be j
paid for tho arrest and conviction of Bur
den lirano, who murdered Samuel Fredon
it Bog Tavern on the night of August 2'th. j
He is a large man, pockmarked, and lias a
barely perceptible defect in the left eye.
Ho posses u der numerous aliases, and is j
often in disguise. He is a desperate char
acter. Is undoubtedly in or about Silv. r
sond. “Brack* (Jloxcper, Sheriff.” I
“Wal, I swan!" exclaimed Dusty Dan;
“that beats the Dutch. I never beared of
Burden Brano, did you, Thompson?"
“I think so.”
“When?—where?”
"Not in this country. That is a reward
worth working for; eh, Dusty?”
“You bet. I wouldn’t mind hauling that
in myself."
’’Hello! Would you give a chap a h ist
inter town’’’’
This last from the rear of the coach, and
a moment later a stout man with very red
face, and hair to match, came alongside
and laid his hand on the foot of Dusty Dan.
Where the fellow came from it would be
hard to determine. Driver and detective
had not seen him until he spoke.
“Ef your pockets are lined with rocks
you kiu ride. ”
“That hits me."
The red-faced man clambered into the
vehicle with a good deal of puffing, and at
length settled into a seat under tho leather
cover.
Then Dusty Dan cracked his whip, and
the stage rolled on.
In the course of twenty minutes the
stage drew up at the door of the “Silver
Mine," the principal hotel iu tho mountain
city.
Dusty Dan at once clambered down and
flung open tho door < f his coach.
“Come, git out, Reddy,” cried tho stage
driver iu a loud voice. “Jest an even dol
lar pays the fare. What, ye w->ri't move’
Gol dam ye— Hello! Groat wildcats, the
feller’s gone!"
By this time Eagle Gray had gained the
walk and stood beside Dusty Dan.
A curious crowd of loafers and citizens
soon gathered about the stage-coach.
Dusty Dan turned and glared at the
faces gathered in front of the Silver Mine.
Not one of them resembled the red visage
of his late passenger.
Once more ho peered inside the roomy
coach, swung his long arm up and down,
but it swept through thin air.
“Consaru his picter. Did you see him
git out, Thompson?”
“No." answered the detective. “I can’t
understand how such a clumsy chap could
take French leave without attracting atten
tion while the coach was in motion. ”
"It beats me. ”
“Just hind me my grip. Dusty."
“Whar is it?"
“Inside, under the forward seat.”
Tho Inure hand of Dusty Dan made a
brief but exhaustive search.
“No grip in thar. ”
“There is some mistake; let me examine
the in si do.”
The small man sprang inside the coach
and began n quick, sharp search. It was
unavailing, however, since tho old coach
was empty.
A blank look came to the face of the de
tective. He remembered dropping his
grip inside after leaving Bog Tavern, hut
it was certainly gone now. What had be
come of it? Certainly it could not take
wings aud fly away.
At once Engle Gray thought of the rod
faced passenger.
He hit his lip and looked savage.
“Who was that fellow?” demanded the
detective, turning upon Dusty Dan, who,
with muttered imprecations against red
faced tramps, was now clambering back to
his seat.
“Dunno.
And then the stage rolled away.
Eagle Gray made his way into the tavern
office, and soon gained the desk of the
clerk. The arrival of the Bordy’s Rauch
stage seemed to draw the loungers outside,
and the room was consequently nearly
empty as Gray appioached and placed th*
name. J . Thompson, on the register.
A pair of sharp eyes watched the move
ments of the little man from the East.
Eagle Gray was deeply chagrined at the
loss of his valise, which contained many
things of importance. Should it with its
contents fall into improper hands, the de
tective felt that his work in the Silver Hills
would be throughout of a herculean nature.
Who was the red-faced passenger who
had so mysteriously disappeared?
Lighting a cigar. Grey suunlercd into the
next room, which proved to he tn- ajd
room and sa’oon. Smoke was in tho at
mosphere thick enough to cut.
A hand touched the detective’s shoulder,
and turning, be looked into a face that
thrilled him strangely, and caused him to
lay his hand on a concealed weapon.
CHAPTER VIII
TARSON SINKER.
“You are the gentleman who just arrived
on the stage?”
“lam,” said Engle Grey, ns ho bent a
keen glance on the face of his questioner, a
young, handsome countenance; one that
he recognized from the and scription given
him by the landlord of Hog Tavern.
“Did you stop at Bog TavernV
“For a few minutes only.”
“You beard something of a startling na
ture there, did you not?"
“I did. A murder was committe 1 there
last night -
And perhaps you not red, ns you came
along, that a reward had bee l offered for
the assassin? I caused such a reward to be
offered immediately on my nrri al in Sil
versand. What disposition his b en made
of the body?”
“That I cinnot tell you. What reason
have you to imagine that Burden Brano is
the one guilty of this crime?
The deiective’s eyes were fixed in a keen
gaze on the face of his Questioner.
“I caught a view of his face as lie lied
and I know he was the man. Besides he
had the motive for such a crime, and that
| is something.”
“What motive?”
“I beg your pardon, sir, but lam not at
liberty to answer that question just now. "
“Indeed! Why not, pray?”
“I must refuse an explanation, sir ”
“Aren’t you Wallis Wager v ’
“That is whit you may call me if you
choose, sir. ”
“You were the companion of Samuel
Fredon, who was so foully murdered last
night?”
“Companion and friend.”
“Exactly. Will you take something, Mr.
Wager?”
The young min admitted his willingness
to “take something" by accompanying the
detective to the bar.
‘A cigar, please. ”
"Won’t you drink."
i “I never indulge--the weed will do for
! me. sir.”
Wager lit a strong weed, and was soon
puffing a cloud of smoke up about his
head in a way that was surprising.
Eagle Gray took a cigar also, and then
walked to a vacaut corner of the room,
where he sat down with bis new acquaint
ance for a chat, all the time, however,
feeling uneasy over the loss of his grip.
Wnllmv Wager was a rather handsome
young man, and there was an open frank
mns of countenance that attracted and
nleascd th • detective, yet. from tho liog
Tavern innkeeper he bail learned enough,
it what he Mid was true, to convict thie
young man of murder. Fugle Gray had
come to the silver country on the trail of a
desperate villian, who was wanted in one
* of toe Mid lie States fora heinous crime,
! yot the detective was not averse to winning
the thousand dollars off'ero 1 by tho Sheriff
j of Hilvtrsand.
But was the mnu whom the placard men
tioned the one who committed the murder
nt Bog Tavern? This was a question that
I the detective had not yet fully settled in hie
I own mind. If such should prove to bo the
case lie saw an opportunity of killing two
birds nt ono shot, since it was Burden
Brano whom he sought among the silver
hills. Eagle, however, luul the word of
Lucius Swayne that the murdered man’s
eo!ii|Minion-was the ass.i*sin. and the reader
knows whit good foundation the iunkooper
lmd for that holief.
It was sufficient to condeum tho young
man in a court of justice.
“Your name is Thompson I noticed it
on tho register," -aid Wager, between puffs,
j “Prospecting? ’
"In one Reuse yes. 1 had bus:ncg of a
pressing nature iu this region, and I thought
if a gold mine fell in mv way I might lay
hold of it."
The detective emitted a laugh at the last
Wager regarded him with a show of sus
picion, and it was evident that neither
trusted the other.
“Gold mines are not liable lo he found
either strayed or stolen, much loss lying
around loose, my tnend. will you permit
me to make a shr. wd guess in your case?”
Thus spoke Wager at length.
“I shall not attempt io prevent your in
dulging in all tho goatling you choose,”
answered the other.
‘‘Well then, lot me say that I believe that
you aro not J. Thompson, of New Y rk,
but a detective on the trail of sonic outlaw.
Have l guessed right?"
Tho detective came to his feet like a
flash, his hand came up fiom his hip, and
a gleaming derringer covered the breast of
Wallis Wager.
Tho movement was as sudden as it was
startling and tint xpected.
“You have guessed the truth." exclaimed
Eagle Grey in a penetrating voice “I ar
rest you for themurderof S • iimel Fredon!”
A deadly pallor swept the fat* • of the
young traveler, who came toll’s f et a'most
as quickly as did the detective.
Tossing aside his
“Not yet, sir; no man ahull arrest mo now
—tho plot won’t work.
“What! You dare
But Eagle Grey had not time to complete
his speech ere a bunch of bones, in the
shape of clinched digits, was planted be
tween his eyes, causing him to execute a
complete somersault.
Wallis Wager waited not upon the order
of his going, but turned the instant after
dealing the blow, and leaped through an
open window into the street.

STARVED 10 DEATH.
Horror* of i lie Fnmlnn In India—Scenes l
Terrible Agony.
After being delayed a week at Jooty.
where at the Government expense I
lived sumptuously, I was ordered to
Madras, where I did not fare so well, but
was finally ordered to Tinnevclly, the
most southern State in all India. From
thence I was so t to Ootipadaram,
where the collector has established a
huge camp, and where 10,000 to 12,000
paupers were being fed. The village of
Ootipadaram sits on a huge treeless plain,
which plain in better years raised vast
amounts of grain, and the village was
the most thriving of that district. Hut
now' its rich Brahmins were dead. Used
to a life of ease and plenty, they had
been the first to succumb to want and
privation, and there in their houses, with
their hands clasped across their knees,
or writhing on the floor in agony, they
had gasped out their breath calling on
God for succor. V\ omen who were
once beautiful lay dead with their chil
dren in their arms, and on the putrid
bodies, on the grim skeletons, lay golden
anklets, bracelets, earrings and the line
golden platter which adorns the wealthy
Brahmin women’s head. Jewels lit for
crowned heads lay scattered about
jewels which had been offered for a
handful of millet and had been refused,
and through all this gloom and misery
stalked the professional beggar, poking
and prying to find something with which
to stay the gnawing at his vitals.
There were thousands of human beings
busy making the camp and very little
food. But the grain was coming, com
ing as fast as oxen could drag it, and
the many hungry people, elated with
hope, struggled bravely against death.
In all that vast and starving crowd
there was no murmur. Once or twice
an unfortunate woman would catch my
leg and ask whether it were true that
the grain was coming. No shudder
of horror electrified their frames when
thrice each day the carts laden with
dead would pass from out of camp and
dump the bodies in the long trenches.
At last the grain traiu came. Every
pauper outside the camp was driven in
and securely locked up within the fence.
The grain was unloaded—but the food
they so anxiously wanted to cat was de
nied many a one. The strain in many
instances was too great. The joy was
too violent, and in sight of plenty they
died. After the arrival of the grain the
camp was organized and two daily doles
were made—one in the morning and one
in the evening. The dole consisted of ;
rice and chile water, and after the first
day’s food the. mortality in the camp
was frightful. It rose over 1,000 a day.
The paupers were ranged in long lines;
each was furnished with a platter, into
which was thrown the rice and then
sprinkled with chile water. Ere the
hand could convey the food to the
mouth, the expectant eater would bo
dead; others while gu ping dowm their
food would be seized with convulsions,
some who had finished their rice would
linger an hour or so, their stomachs
swollen to an incredible size and die rav
ing maniacs; some would dash their
heads against the ground delirious from
joy. in every horrid shape stood death
death in every revolting and hideous
form.
The public works started for the relief
of famine paupers were simply useful to
contractors as money making ventures.
Of their utility to the Government every
one in tho Tinnevelly district doubted.
A huge reservoir was made under the
superintendency of the Public Works
Department, and one or two roads were
undertaker, but it was playing at
works. Frauds were being perpetrated
on every side, the Thesildars or native
collectors began to purloin rice, the
worthless native doctors put in huge
suriply lists where port wine, brandy,
sago and arrowroot conspicuously fig- -
ured, but neither the solicitude of the
Hospital Department, the potency of
the brandy or the strengthening influ
ence of arrowroot ami sage could keep
alive a people who were practically dead.
At one time it seemed that no human
endeavor could keep the district from
entire depopulation. Tho food supply
was gradually diminishing, and orders
were being frequently received to keep
the dole down. The distress was spread
ing through to other kaluks, and it ap-
E eared that the Government vould soon
e called upon to feod the entire native
population of India, and therefore it was
necessary to curtail the supply. Ibis
measure again increased the mortality
and the death rate stood higher than
ever. Virulent diseases broke out,
small-pox raged furiously, the hospital
attendants opened the hospital pens and
tied, the sore-coverel patients invaded
the camp, got out of the mclosure and
spread the disease to a frigutful extent
For nearly a month there was total lack
of order.

Considerable deposits of petroleum
have lx on found upon the Egyptian coast
f the Red Sea. The foreshore is formed
of recent coral, underlying which is an
older limestone, perhaps of secondary
age. Upon piercing the recent coral to
the level of the sea, the petroleum,
mingled with water, flows into the cavi
ty. it is conjectured that the source of
the material which has lost its volatile .
constituents is the older limestone be- !

Every one knows that the sea has
larger animals than can be found on land;
but with the enormous sequoias of Cali

to learu of vegetable growth in the ocean
vastly exceeding in length, though not
in bulk, these giants of the forest. Re
cently the ship Clever, commanded by
Captain John Stone, arrived at Monte
video with a portion of a seaweed which
had been picked up in the Atlantic near
the equator. The sailors perceived an
object floating on the surface some dis
tance from the ship, and, manning a boat,
they rowed to it, and ascertained that it
was an alga of enormous size. On meas
uring it, it was found to have a length
upward of fifteen hundred feet.
Of the present destroyers of the In
dians, according to I)r. Washington
Matthews, the chief is consumption.
Census returns show that, while the death
rate among Europeons is 17.74 per thou
sand, and that among Africans is 17.28,
the rate among the indiuns is no less than
24.fi; and that, while among the whites
lfifi deaths in a thousand are from con
sumption, and among the negroes 186,
there arc 28fi among the Indians. The
influence of civilization has greatly in
creased the consumption rate among the
Indians—the effect seeming to be partly
due to change of diet, and partly to
causes not yet understood.
Salmon in Enormous Number.
Lieutenant Schwatka says in the Ameri
can Field: “ The number of salmon in
these Alaskan streams, whether they
empty into the Arctic or Behring Sea, or
the Pacific Ocean, is simply beyond be
lief to a person who has never seen them
with his own eyes. In ascending one of
the small streams that empties into the
Pacific Ocean, from the Saint Elias Alps,
in a canoe, manned by a couple of
Indians, the salmon were so plentiful that
they formed a solid semi-circle in front of
the canoe, with its bow as a centre, and a
radius of about twenty feet, and this
semi circle looked like the ripples of a
small cascade, the protruding noses,
backs and tins, corresponding to the small
stones that would project through such a
waterfall. We had no salmon spear, but
one of the Indians made one from a pole,
cut from the bank, on the end of which
he whittled a rude barb. This was too
fragile, however, until the end was hard
ened by burning it in the fire, when it
became much better, when a few salmon
were secured, losing a dozen, neverthe
less, where one was captured by the ex
temporized spear. Whenever we ran the
vast swarm against a shallow ripple,
where it was hard for so many to get over
in a hurry, great numbers of them would
go scurrying past us on eitherside, making
as much splashing as a flock of ducks,
and giving the Indian a good chance to
use his spear. Hundreds of these fish
were seen that had great ugly scars on
them caused, my Indian guide said, by
the spears of the numerous Indian fisher
men who, at that season, were putting in
their winter supply of salmon, and whose
weapons were far from always being ef
fective. We killed a number with a Win
chester rifle from the shock by a shot, ou
the water, directly over their heads, which
never failed to turn them belly upward at
once, and before they recovered they
were safely landed in the canoe.
An Army Contractor’s Story.
David Nicholson, of St. Louis, tells
the following story in the Globe-Democrat:
[ had a curious experience with an
army contract once—a few years after the
war closed. I got an order for a lot of
tine groceries for officers’ stores. Among
the rest were twenty-seven sacks of Java
coffee—a hundred pound to the saek. It
was for a station so far to the West that
the freight was five cents a pound. The
Coffee was billed at twenty-seven cents a
pound. After a while I received notifi
cation that tile coffee had been rejected,
probably on account of mildew in ocean
transportation. I wrote to have the cof
fee sent back, and at the proper time my
teams were there to receive it. When it
came to the store I told one of the clerks
to put a “trier” into a few sacks to see if
it was the same goods we had shipped.
The “trier” came out of the first sack
filled with yellow corn. It was put into
another sack and pulled out with the
same result. And so on all round. Every
sack sent back was simply that much
shelled corn. The soldiers at the poet
had taken out the coffee and probably
sold it to the country groceries, and put
corn in its place. The sacks looked all
right- on the outside. The same strings
had been used in sewing them up, and
everything had been doue to deceive. I
sent for the Quartermaster on duty here,
and showed him the fraud. There was a
long controversy about it, but in the end
the government stood the loss, and I got
paid for my coffee, less the value of the
twenty-seven sacks of corn sent back in
its place.
A Precocious Musician.
Lillie Stuck, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of the State Librarian, com
posed the words and music of a “Slum
ber Sonjr." Her music teacher advised
her to allow him to rearrange anti pub
lish it, as he said it was so intricate, so
delicate, and so difficult of rendition,
that ordinary singers could not do jus
lice to it. She declared she would not
have the score changed, saving she had
made it unusually difficult for a purpose.
Then she sent it to Adelina Patti, sign
ing an assumed name. A few days ago
she heard from Madame Patti’s private
secretary that the diva was singing the
"Slumber Song” in concerts in the West.

all day, or walk four or five miles a day, and stand it well; and when
I began using the medicine I could scarcely walk across tho room,
most of the time, and I did not think I could ever feel well again.
I have a little baby girl eight months old. Although she is a little
delicate in size and appearance, she is healthy. I give your reme

digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, and bodily health and vigor will be established.
Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the common pimple, blotch, or eruption, to the worst heroin la, or blood

CONSUMPTION, WEAK LUNGS, SPITTING OF BLOOD.
Golden Medical Discovery cures Consumption (which is Scrofula of the Lungs), by its wonderful blood-purifvinjr, invigora
ting and nutritive properties. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, Asthma,
ana kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. While it promptly cures the severest Coughs it strengthens the system
and purities the blood.
It rapidly builds up tho system, and increases tho flesh and weight of thoso reduced below the usual standard of health bv

Consumption.—Mrs. Edward Newton, of Harrowsmith*

given me up, and 1 had also been given up by two doctors. I then

UiVtrV Ur hly have any curative power over consumption so

and, to tho surprise of everybody, am to-day doing my own work,
and am entirely free from that terrible cough which harrassed me
night and day. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for a number
of years, and now feel so much better that I believe, with a con
tinuation of your’Golden Medical Discovery,’l will be restored

that terrible disease consumption, do not do as I did, take every
