Likewise an impious Levite earns.
With proud and stately stride:
He scarcely deigned to look. He passed

Who journeyed on the road.
Bound up h s wounds ands othed bis pains,

E'en at our very door;
We wh'rl away from weeping eves,
And hearts that ache and bleed.
No kindness show, unless they be
Of our own set. or creed.
We spurn the unassuming poor.

Nor use < ur Chr stian spectacles.
That we their worth may- see.
But test our skirts become defiled.
And humbled he our pride.
We turn our dainty heads, and pass
By on tbe other side.
Yet here and there a man we find
Rejecting caste and creed.
Who, like the Good Ssimaritan,
A neighbor is indeed.
In sickness, sorrow, want or death,
In suffering, or distress.
He gladly lends a helping hand.
And g.ves a fond caress.
H s soul expands for ail mankind;

Whether he live in luxury
Or by his daily labor.

Comes ringing from the skies.

—OR—
THE MYSTERY OF PRESTON FLAT.
BY JOHN H. MUSICK.
[Copyright, 1886, by tub A. N. Kellooo
Newspaper Company.]
CHAPTER IX.— Continued
“Great heaven! how do you know
this?” cried the astounded farmer.
“I got it through a suspicious
rumor.”
“The rumor is false —not a word of
it true. I know that boy must beau
honest, upright young fellow.”
“But you are mistaken, friend Miles.
Yon are wanning a serpent in your
bosom, that some day will sting. I’ll
warn you that he contemplates rob
bing you and } r our entire family.”
“I don’t believe one word of it,
Dave, and won’t till it's proved. I’ve
lived too long in this world not to be
somethin’ of a judge of human mature;
he is honorable and upright.”
“You may be deceived,” began
Black.
“And so may you,” curtly replied
tlie farmer; “and if I was to breathe
this it would bring a slander suit on
vour head that would make you trem
ble.”
It was evident tbe farmer was out of
humor, and Dave Black felt somewhat
abashed at the reply; he had not
thought of an action for slander before,
but now a court-room, judge and jury,
with all their attendant horrors, loomed
up before him. lie hesitated a momcn!
and stammered: “Well, it’s only a ru
mor I heard, and I thought I would in
form you as a friend to put you on your
guard. I do not pretend to say it’s
true.”
“I’m very much obliged to you. Mr
Black, but assure you there is not the
least foundation for the rumor.”
“I will write to Joe Brewster, oi
Queenstown,” said Dave, somewhat
discomfited.
“Do so, and I’ll wager two to one
that there is not a word of truth in the
report. Goocbbye, Dave; I must be
oil ”
CHAPTER X.
A DARK ADVENTURE.
Mr. Miles started his team up, and
swept out of the village at a good round
trot. He felt somewhat vexed that
any one would suspicion his hired mac
of being an outlaw and thief.
The sun was down as he entered the
wooded road that led up Preston Flat.
The horses trotted on and the wagon
rattled along the road, while the dust
rolled in volumes from the wheels, set
tling on tlie trees and bushes at the
edge of tlie highway.
“Who could have put such a notion
in Dave's head?” soliloquized Mr.
Miles. “I wonder who thinks I would
harbor a thief; and besides it is an in
sult to God's handiwork to call that
boy a thief. He is the very picture of
honor, and the man who can look into
those blue eyes and call him a thief is
a fool and a liar.”
It was evident, however, from the
troubled manner of the farmer, that
his mind was not quitp at rest on the
subject. “I might be iooled, and it
might be true that he does belong to a
gang of rascals, who had taken it into
their heads to rob me. I don’t believe
it, but it may be so. No, Walter
Brownfield is honest—blast tlie eyes of
the man who would even so much as
suspicion him.”
It was now quite dark and the horses
were going along at an even walk.
Mr. Miles was so busily engaged with
his own vexatious thoughts that he did
not note tlie flight of time, the dark
ness or the slow gait of the horses.
“I will watch him anyway,” he final
ly concluded. “It will do no harm to
watch the boy. An honest man don’t
care if lie is watched, though I know
he’s no thief.”
The wagon rattled on, the night air
Mas cold and frosty. Suddenly loud
shouts ivere heard on the road ahead
of him
“Helloa, wiiat does thatmean?” said
Mr. Miles, stopping his team.
“Help! murder! robbers! murder!
murder!” cried a shrill voice.
“Get up, Bally, Blaze, there is trouble
ahead,” shouted the farmer, laying the
whip to the liox-ses and starting them
forward at a gallop.
“Bang!” went a shot from the same
direction whence came tho sounds for
help,
“Help, murder, thieves thieves!”
cried tlie same voice, though evidently
growing weaker each moment. Mr.
Milos could hear other voices, the
snorting and flying of a horse and
heavy sounding blows.
“Knife him, cuss him and stop his
noise,” one rough voice was heard to
pay.
There was a heavy blow, a wild
shriek, and just at that moment the
farmer's wagon camo around a bend
in the road, not forty yards from where
the struggle was going on.
“O, yes, here we come, a whole reg
iment of us,” shouted tlie undaunted
Mr. Miles, standing up in tlie wagon
holding his heavy whip to fell the as
sassin with the butt. He saw a strug
gling mass through the darkness and
heard a few mattered oaths. With a
snort of terror, a horse attached to a
buggy run up tlie road at full speed.
There was also a crackling of brush as
though persons were trying to escape
through the woods.
“Fire on the rascals, boy! Shoot
them down! We’ve got them at last!”
phouted tho farmer, waving his whip
aloft, as though he was nddi’esaing a
thousand men. Hjs houses ran up tq
the spot where the struggle had taken
place, and shied to one side of the
road and stopped.
“Helloa! what did you see?” said
Mr. Milcfx A deep groan came from
the ground; he looked aud discovered
the dark outlines of an object lying on
the ground.
“Some one is hurt,” said the brave
farmer, leaping from the wagon.
“Say, mister, are you bad hurt?”
No reply came.
“I guess he is,” said Mr. Miles, bend
ing over the body and raising tae
b-'ad. “Who can it lie?” He knew
that he was a large man the moment
he attempted to raise him. He struck
a match, and by the light of it gazed
on the face of a man past middle age.
The hair was short, faee smooth
shaved, and there was an ugly wound
on the back of the head and another on
the shoulder.
“It’s the stranger at Bushville, and
they have tried to murder him,” said
Mr. Miles, in astonishment. “He is
not dead, though, and I must get him
in the wagon. 1
This was no easy task, but the
farmer suc oeded as the stranger be
gan to recover.
“Are you badly hurt?”
“I have a severe bruise on my head,
and a blow on the arm. I believe it is
broken,” answered the stranger.
“Well, don’t talk about it now; I’ll
make you as comfortable as I can, and
take you home with me, where you
shall stay until you get well.”
The wounded man expressed his
thanks, and the farmer braced him up
in his wagon and drove slowly home
ward.

A thousand conjectures were in the
mind of Farmer Miles as he drove the
wounded stranger home. It was in
tensely dark and he did not dare
burr?.
“Who could have attempted the as
sassination?” he thought. “There was
a rumor at Bushville that he was a de
tective, or a rich man returned from
California. Which can it be? If he is
a detective, was he after Waiter, and
was it Walter and his gang that
knocked him down? Bah! Why do I
do the poor lad the injustice to mix
him up in this affair? It was that in
fernal lie Dave Black told me.”
After another period of thought ho
would come round upon the subject
again, and wish in vain that ho could
drive it from his mind.
“.Never mind, I'll watoh the boy and
see what I can discover in this atlair.
Do you feel better now, stranger?” he
asked, aloud.
“I am not so stunned and confused,
but I am suffering severe pain,” was
the answer.
“Are you sufficiently recovered to
tell how this happened, and who it was
attacked you, and what for?” asked
the farmer.
“I know but little about it; all I
know is it was an attempted murder
and robbery.”
“How many were there ct the rob
bers?”
“Three or four, I could not say
which.”
“I heard a shot; was you hit?”
“No, I lired the shot myself.”
“Did you hit any of the rascals?”
“I can not say, for just as I lirod
some villain struck my arm and
knocked the pistol from my hand.”
“Did they take any thing from you?”
“I thiuk not. 1 had but little they
could take, except my life, and I’m
sure it was only your opportune ar
rival that prevented them taking that.”
“Have you any idea who they were?”
“No, sir, I am an utter stranger
here,” answered the wounded man.
They drove along slowly, for the
stranger was suffering intense pair..
When they arrived at farmer Miles’
house, they found the wounded
stranger’s horses standing meekly by
the gate with a remnant of the shut
tered buggy attached to them. The
farmer went in and broke the news to
his wife and daughter, who were still
up in the sitting-room.
“Where are the boys?” asked the
farmer.
“They are In bed,” answered his
wife.
“I'll go and meet them,” said Mr.
Miles.
He hurried up-stairs to their rooms.
John and Ben answered his calls.
“Where is Walter?” he asked, as
John appeared at the door of his room,
rubbing his eyes rather sleepily.
“In his bed,” said John.
“Hurry up you fellows; there’s been
a robbery down the road, and almost a
murder. I've got a wounded man in
the wagon, you must all come out and
help carry him in.”
As Walter Brownfield still did not
answer, he entered his room and ap
proached his bed, and found it unoc
cupied.
“Walter is not here, where is he?”
asked Mr. M ies..
“He went to bed there,” said John,
who being now thoroughly awake, was
and ressing rapidly.
“Yes, but he got up two hours ago
and went out,” said Ben; “ho’s not
been back since.”
The farmer staggered as if he had re
pe}ve4 a blow, “Dave Black must be
fight and Walter is one ot the robbers
who attacked the stranger on the
Bushville road.”
He said nothing, however, but hur
ried out with John and Ben to carry in
the wounded man. When Mr. Brown
had been placed in bed and made as
comfortable as possible, Ben Miles was
sent to put away the horses and John
to Bushville to inform the sheriff and
bring a doctor.
Upon examining Mr. Brown’s inju
ries, Mr. Miles discovered that he had
several bruises about the heatl and
shoulders, and his left arm was broken.
John had been gone nearly an hour
when the door opened and Walter
Brownfield entered the sitting-room,
his face Hushed and paled by turns,
and to Mr. Miles appeared decidedly
guilty. His astonishment knew no
bounds at the sight of the wounded
man.
“Where have you been, Walter?”
asked the farmer,
“I did not feel well, and arose from
my bed to take a walk in the night
air.”
“That settles it,” thought the farm
er, though he said nothing. “He is a
robber, and to think that I have been
harboring him.”
The farmer no longer doubted Wal
ter’s guilt, blit his great desire was to
bring the entire gang to justice.
Should he have Walter arrested tlie
others would leave the country; there
fore he must bide his time.
Ben told Walter all he knew about
the attack on Mr. Brown, and how, if
his father had not charged down to the
rescue in a two-horse wagon, lie would
have been killed. Walter listened in
real, though Mr. Miles construed it to
be only a feigned, wonder. The doc
tor came, as did the sheriff, The form
er set the arm and dressed the wounds,
and the latter had a long conversation
with Mr. Miles and departed. For
three or four days the sheriff’ with a
Kosse of men rode about the country,
ut found no clue to the would-be rob
bers and assassins.
The next day Mr. Miles met Hawk
ins, his thriftless neighbor, and gave
him an amusing account of how he had
frightened a dozen brigands, and run
them from an intended victim.
“Who were they?” asked Hawkins.
“ I have no idea.”
“Couldn’t you see ’em?”
“See them? no; it was dark as a
‘stack of black cats.’ I couldn’t see my
hand before me, but I heard them
knocking and swearing. I heard a
pistol shot, and knew that business of
a serious nature was goingou.”
“And have you no idea who they
were?” asked Jack Hawkins, with a
look of intense interest.
“No, I have not,” was the answer
of tite farmer, after a few moments'
reflection.
He thought to himself: T better
not tell Jack, because he’ll be sure to
tell that trifling Bill Martin, and it’ll
be sure to be all over the country.”
“Is the stranger bad hurt?”
‘aAVs but not dangerous; he has a
brmTen arm and some bruises of the
head.”
“Does he krow who the robbers
were?”
“No; he’s a stranger here, and
knows no one but Mr. Smallweed, the
banker. His name is Brown, and lie
has just returned from California. He
is immensely rich, I think, but has ail
his gold in Small weed's bank at
Bushville.”
As they were on the point of separa
tion, Mr. Miles inquired as to the
whereabouts of Bill Martin, and was
informed that he had received a
slight injury in the shoulder by being
thrown from a horse, and would prob
ably be confined to his bed for several
days.
Pin key Miles was the nurse of the
wounded man. He dictated a letter
which she wrote Mr. Smallweed in re
gard to business affairs; by it she
learned that he was expecting two
more boxes of gold coin, on the ex
press, and he wished him to go to
Queenstown and receive it, suggesting
that he had better have a strong guard
to prevent the capture of the treasure.
“You shall be amply repaid for all
your kindness to me, Miss Piukey,”
said the Californian.
“I have done nothing more than my
duty, sir, and I do not require any
pay.”
“But you deserve pay for your
trouble.”
It was the third dav after the injury,
and Mr. Brown was flushed with fever,
which made him talkative.
“You must be quiet; you have sat
up too much to-day,” she said. Mr.
Brown was propped up in bed with
bis arm strongly bandaged, lying snug
ly under the coverlet
' “I feel better, though, Miss Pinkcy,
than I have felt for years,” said the
wan.
“I am glad to know it, and hope
you will soon be well again.”
“Sit here by the side of tlie bed as I
wish to talk to you,” said Mr. Brown.
Piukey did as requested.
“How Jong have you livod here?” he
asked.
“For ten years,” she answered.
“Where did you come from, when
you came here?’’
“My father is from Pennsylvania.”
“You never lived in Illinois?”
“No, sir.”
“I once did. It was many years be
fore you were born. I was a young
man then.” The man spoke in short
sentences and there was considerable
feeling in his tone. “I married one
who was the pride of my heart. I
loved her and she loved me, but we
were poor. The gold excitement of
1849 swept over the country; people
went wild over it. I was swept away
in the vortex. The parting was hard,
but the cherished hope of returning
wealthy overcame every other consid
eration’. She gave me up. I pressed
my wife and babe to my breast and
joined the wagon tN waiting in the
road, As wo vailed 4wav I turned to
catch a last glimpse of the little home
that had been so dear to me. I saw my
wife standing in the doorway; tears
were streaming down her cheeks, and
she held aloft the babe that crowed
and clapped its hands, unaware of the
separation. The sight overcame me
and I shed manly tears.
“Months were spent in crossing the
plains. I need not tell you of the hard
ships of an overland journey to Cali
fornia. A jouruey Unit took months to
complete, months of suffering and priv
ations. I labored with zeal and deter
mination. I received letters regularly
from home. Years passed, I was dis
appointed in acquiring the fabulous
wealth I had been promised and I had
almost made up my mind to return
home when I fell sick and came near
death’s door. Some rude, though kind
hearted friend nursed me to partial
health. I failed to more than make
a living. A year lat r, in company
with a party of prospectors, we struck
the richest mine ever known in Cali
fornia. There were live of us and we
dug every day out of tbh earth a
fortune, At the end of a week each
man made a cache and buried his
treasure. This we did several times.
Just as we had determined to return to
civilization, the Indlaus attacked us,
killing three of my companions and
took tlie remaining two of us as prison
ers. For fourteen long years I was a
prisoner among the red men. A few r
months ago I managed to escape and
then I began to inquire about my wife
and child in the East. I learned that
my wife was dead and that my son
lived somewhere near here.
“My treasure in the cache I found
where I had left it, and dug it up, and
had it expressed to Quseßstowß iu
boxes, and was qr [he jup]t qf my son
When the robbeyss attacked
“Do you know w here he is?” asked
Pinkey.
“I do not,”
It was evident that the Californian
bad been exdting himself too much,
and Pinkey insisted on hit keeping
quiet
CHAPTER XIL
AN UNEXPECTED MKETINO.
Preston Flat was in a state of the
wildest excitement. That a deliberate
attempt should be made upon the
highway to rob and murder horrified
every body. For days the woods were
scoured by mounted horsemen and foot
men searching for the robbers. Mr.
Miles kept his opinions to himself, but
his manner toward Walter became
cool. “That boy does look honest; but
bow in the world was I so deceived in
him!” as he passed near the barn gate,
his elbow resting on his hand, ‘j
told no QUO my suspicions but the sher-:
iff, and if he can’t work up enough
circumstantial evidence to convict him,
then it ain’t my fault”
He walked across the lot where John
Miles and Walter were harnessing the
horses to the wagon. He noticed that
Walter’s eyes were averted from him.
“No wonder he can’t bear to look at
me,” thought the farmer, “lonlywan--
der that the villain can remain in tho
neighborhood.”
As John Miles and Walter wer-o
about driving to the forest for a load
of wood, half a dozen armed and
mounted men rode up to the house.
Mr. Miles recognized among them the
constable.
“How is tbe wounded man?" asked
the constable of Mr. Miles, as he reigned
in his horse in front of the gate,
“He is getting some better. Have
you any clue yet as to who or where
the robbers arc?”
“No, not for certain,” tho officers
answered. “But we feel assured they
are somewhere in the woods betwfeen
here and Bushville. We are going now
to look for them.”
The cavalcade galloped down the
road, raising a cloud of dust
Walter opened the gate and John
drove the team through, then he sprang
upon the wagon and they drove away
to the forest in the direction of Bush
ville.. Walter Brownfield on this day
woro a small cap which Mr. Milea
thought he kept drawn closely down
over his face.

IS THERE ANY HOPE ?
NEW AST) IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF
PULMONARY EXPERTS.
Can the Universal Consumption be Sur
c ess fully Treated ?
Dr. Borgeon, a leading French doctor,
has anew treatment for consumption.
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part of
the throat and lungs.
This treatment too, is directed at effects
—the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, i. e., the Brompton Hospital
for Consumptives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries off from
one-seyenth to one-fifth of the entire
population of England.
Dr. Payne, M. D., M. R. C. P., London,
is authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America.
Dr. Payne a’so says that one half the
total number of deaths from all othtr
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some irritant
to develop !
Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds which
Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the
blood.
Eyery particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in the
least deranged they cannot rid the blood
of its killing poison. Ten thousand litt'e
hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very
easily get blocked up and diseased; and
when they do,corrupt instead of purifying
the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and
yet no pain occur in that organ, because
it is deficient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and it
soon festers and is destroyed. Send acid
poisoned blood through the lungs every
second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 52 per cent of the victims of
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison to remain in the blood and irritate
the lungs. This uric acid is always fight
ing every vital organ, and if there be any
inherent weakness in the lungs it inevita
bly causes pneumonia, cough and con
sumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being ao authoritatively shown to be faulty
even though unsuspected action of the
kidneys, explains why, in order to master
the dreaded consumption, one must rid
the blood of the uric acid irritant which
inflames and burns up the lung substance.
For this purpose there is nothing equal to
that great specific,Warner’s safe cure. This
remedy has now the favor of medical men
all over the world purely on its merits.
We have no doubt that if the kidneys are
kept in natural action, consumption and a
great many other diseases, caused by uric
acid, will not only be cured but will be
preyented.
Wbeu the kidney is healthy, no albu
men appears in the water of more than
half of those who die of consumption !
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption : First,
weakened kidneys; second, retained uric
acid, poisoning the blood ; third, the de
velopment of disease in the lungs by the
irritant acids passing through them. Then
there is a little cough in the morning!
soon thick, yeliow matter is spit up, fol
lowed by loss of flesh and strength, with
dreadful night sweats; and the patient
goes to his school physician tor help, he is
put on cod liver oil which his stotnoch,
weakened also by uric aced in the blood,
cannot digest. Because there is no pain
present in the kidneys, the patient does
not think they are affected, but the kid
ney acid is doing its work every minute,
every hour, day and night, and by-and-by
the disease of the lungs has advanced
until puss is developed, thpn come hem
orrhages, and at last the glassy stare
which denotes that the end is near!
A post examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid has
complely destroyed the substance of the
ung.
It is impossible to cure lung disease
wheu the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
