WHAT AILS ’ X£ Do you feel dull, low-spirited, life less, and indescribably miserable, both physi cally and mentally; experience a sense at fullness or bloating after eating, or of “gone ness,” or emptiness of stomach iu tho morn ing, tongue coated, bitter or bad taste in mouth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent headaches, blurred eyesight, “floating specks’* before the oyes. nervous prostration or ex haustion. irritability of temper, hot flushes, alternating with chilly sensations, sharp, biting, transient pains here and there, cold feet, drowsiness after meals, wakefulness, or disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant, indescribable fooling of dread, or of impend ing calamity? If you have all, or any considerable number of these symptoms, you are suffering from that most common of American maladies— Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver, associated with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more complicated your disease lias become, tho grealor the number and diversity of symp toms. No matter what stage it has reached, Dr„ Pierot’s Golden Medical Discovery will subdue It, if taken according to direc tions for a reasonable length of time. If not cured, complications multiply and Consump tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies ars quite liable to set in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood - purifying organ, cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in -acting upon the Kid neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases. As an appetizi ig, restorative tonic, it promotes digestion and nutrition, thereby building up both flesh and strength. In malarial districts, this wonderful medicine has gained great celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague, and kindred diseases. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery CUBE’S ALL HUSMOBS, from a common Blotch, or Eruption, to the worst Scrofula. Salt-rheum, “ FevtCores,” Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, all diseases caused by bad blood are conquered by this powerful, purifying, and invigorating medi cine. Great Eating Ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influence. Especially has it mani fested its potency in curing Tetter, Eczema, Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles. Sore Eyes. Scrof ulous Sores and Swellings, Hip-joint Disease, “White Swellings,” Goitre, or Thick Neck, and Enlarged Glands.

CONSUMPTION, which is Scrofula or Use Lungs, is arrested and cured by this remedy, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease. From its mar velous power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-famed rem edy to the public. Dr. Pierce thought seriously of calling it his “Consumption Cure,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine which, from its -wonderful com bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not onlv as a remed * for Consumption, but for all Chronic Disc use* of the Liver, Blood, and Lungs. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Short ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh. Bron chitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections, it is an efficient remedy. .

This er’e Is the longest tramp aiul fewest sales I’ve ever made In my life. Here I am among the breaks o’ Big Sandy, with a pretty smart chance o’ stayin’ all night in the M oodi. M The speaker was our old friend Pete, the peddler. Pete is tired and stops to wipe the sweat oflf his brow. It is a hot day, and tho sun beams down on the dry, hal’d road with fearful fnry. Pete lias a heavy pack on his back, and as ho goes along in a half stooping posi tion, produced by long travel, ho smokes his pipe, sings snatches of songs or communes with himself. “I might a knowed there war* nobody in these wild lands o’ Big Sandy to buy, afore I came. Pete Ped dler, ye’r a fool for once, ye’r bartered all-wool goods for ilimsey stuff that fades; ye’d better stayed on ye’r own heat a doggoned sight than come away out here. ’ ’ Then he began humming his favorite ah’: “Come all ye darling ladies, Remember what my trade Is, To please you I will try”— “But there ain’t no ladies here to please,” said Pete to himself. “There ain’t nobody to please in the woods but ground-hogs and minks. Jehosiphat, ain’t I tired o’ climin’ hills and crossin’ hollers. The day seems awful long, but they ain’t long enough to get over the places. I wish I were up on Sandy. By jinks, I must rest.” He stopped, sat his pack down by the roadside and took a seat on the green turf by tho side of it. “Lemme sec, I’ve got the Big Sandy to cross and then I’m on the old Plumber place. That’s owned by the shoddiest man in the whole pack, Judge Arnold. This lies West. This must be the laud o’ Helen and Amos Lake man. By jingo, what a swindle that was, wuss nor soilin’ pewter jewelry for gold. Them poor children cheated out o’ their home worth five thousand dollars at least, an’ given these hills an’ hollers not worth fifteen cents—the whole tract. When I think o* it I am just doggoned”—and he brought his stout stick down upon tho ground A'ith a force which made it crack. There was a rustling among the leaves at his side, and ho saw a snake known as a copper-head, on account of the bright crest it wore. The peddler eyed it a moment, as its brilliant little head-like eyes twinkled, and its forked tongue darted out of its mouth, and said: “Now, ye’r Jest like that whole set, ye're deceivin’ every body jest like a bolt of shoddy muslin. Ye’re tryin’ to smile, ye doggoned sarpint; so does Judge Arnold. He smiles, an’ his in fernal eyes twinkle jest like yours. Ye’re only waitin’ fur a chance to bite, an’ so is he. Well, I can fix ye, ef I can’t him.” With one quick, sure blow from his stick he crushed the snake's head, and shouldering his pack went on, leaving it riggling among the leaves. About one-fourth of a mile further, as Pete was descending a hill, he paused struck with amazement. Had he been sud denly confronted with a view of the Atlantic Ocean he could no thave been more surprised. There right before him were half a dozen or more tents or shanties. There were wagons and miner’s tools, and he could easily see that they had been there for several days. Ponderous machinery had been erected and a deep shaft sunk, while all around the ground ivas black with lead and silver ore. Floating rumors had been abroad of lead and silver mines in these hills of the Big Sandy, hut no one had ever given them cre dence. Pete stopped and rubbed his eyes as if he feared it was an optical delusion. “Well, say, now—what in the name o’ common sense does it mean?” He closed his eyes again, and again opened them—it was all there yet, the teams, teutu shanties and machinery. “Pete, I guess ye ain’t asleep ! ye’ve jist come onto a bolt o’ calico winch ye didn’t think was in the pack ; ’spose we go down and inspect it?” As Pete walked down toward the C.amp of miners, a man, who seemed about forty-five years of age, below medium height and rather heavy set, came to meet him. He had an hon est countenance and mild though shrew blue oyes. One had only to glance at him to sec that no was a thorough business man. “Wall; say now!” said Pete, stop ping within a few feet of the smiling stranger, and staring at him n9 if he were a ghost, “ain’t you a stranger in these parts?” “Yes sir,” the miner answered, “I have been here but a short time.” “What ye doin’?” “Prospecting.” “Pros jm*ctin’, what kind of goods is that ?” asked Pete, removing his pipe from his mouth. “I am prospecting for lead and silver ore.” “Oh, yes, ye are one o’ them fellows what digs in the ground, like a rabbit” “Yes, except we go deeper. Where ore you going?” “I want to git across Big Sandy.” “You can't make it before dark.” “I know it,” said Pete, “but then there’s no house this side o’ there. ’ “If vou will accept the hospitality ot a miner's camp we would be glad to have you stop with us.” Pete thought he could do no better, and as the miner seemed to be a ver\ friendly sort of a man he acoepted the invitation. Unslinging his pack in one of the tents, he said: “1 reckin maybe there'll be a chance to sell ye somethin’ in the mornin’. I’ve got the best lot o' calicos, muslius, linens, FETE AND THE PROSPECTOR, ginghams, all wool cashmeres, with needles, thread, pins an’ liandkerchers ye iver saw. I’ll sell ’em all right down at bottom prices. I allu’s comes right down to bed-rock prices fust thing, cos’ ye see it saves time iu jewin’ down, ye know.” “1 will look over your goods in the morning,” said the miner. “In the meanwhile, make yourself at home.” Pete was soon mingling among the miners, picking up such information as he could, and making himself very agreeable. When they sat down to supper, and the prospector asked a blessing, Pete said to himself: “He’s a piece what’ll stand wind an’ rain an’ sun without fadin’. There's no cotton chain or fillin’ about him, all wool, all wool an’ will wear forever.” A moment later, lie said aloud : “By the way, stranger, I forgot to ax ye what yer name was, an’ where ye war’ from?” “My name is John Whitehead, from Pennsylvania.” “An’ ye are out here huntin’ for lead and silver?” “Yes, sir, we are now doing what is called prospecting.” “Are ye acquainted hereabouts?” “No sir; are you?” “Ye better reckin I am. I have tramped every road an’ sold goods in every house fur a hundred miles around here. At least a hundred miles. “Then you are acquainted?” “Yes.” “There is a great deal of wild land out here.” “Yes.” “Is it rated very high?” “No.” “Do you know who owns this?” “Yes I do.” ‘Who?” “Two orphan children, who hev been wus cheated than ef they bed bought goods o’ a Jew peddler. They bed a farm an’ this land, what wasn't then worth fifteen cents.” Pete then proceeded to give an ac count of the wrongs of the Lakeman heirs. In his crude way he described Helen’s devotion to her little brother, and the patience of the cripple. Mr. Whitehead listened until he had com pleted the narration, then said: “How much was tho farm worth?” “Five thousand dollars.” “It is lucky for them that they lost the farm and retained these wild lands,” said the miner. “Why?” asked Pete. “They are worth five times as mu oh as that, at least, perhaps more.” “What!” cried Pete, starting up and letting his pipe fall from his hand. “Would you be willin’ to give twenty five thousand dollars for this land?” “Yes,” answered the prospector, “1 would give twenty-five thousand now, and if tho lead turns out as I ex pect it will. I’ll double it. ” Pete &xit dumbfounded. He was shown some of the ore, which con vinced him it was genuine. As he lay in the hammock that night he was filled with jqy’ at the thought that thoso persecuted children were rich. “I guess old Mrs. Stuart won’t be turning up her nose at the hired girl any more.” CHAPTER xx. WARRKN AND PETB. While the stirring events we have related were transpiring, Warren Stu art was in Chicago iu blissful ignorance of it all. He found his father’s real estate agent a very pleasant business like gentleman, and very rapid in all his work save Mr. Stuart’s. Warren was delayed from day to day until he began to suspect that his father had requested that lie he retained some time In the city. He wrote repeatedly to Helen Lakeman, hut received no answer. His mother wrote him affec tionate letters, telling him every thing except what lie really wished to know. If there is any thing more annoying than to receive a letter which contains every thing except just what you want to knfnv, we have never discovered it. Mr. and Mrs. £>tuart seemed to possess that remarkable faculty of bilking or writing all around a subject with out touching it. Three word:, three strokes of the pen, would have saved Warren many sleepless nights. But words did not come. He felt sure they would not. He ceased to write to Helen, and wrote to his sis ter Rose. In her he had a warm, sym pathetic friend. Warren little dreamed what was transpiring at home. His next letter from his father stated that Rose had receired his last and would answer it soon; it continued urging him to re main nutil the agent had finished the abstract for him. “It’s all nonsense for me to stay here,” said Warren, chafing at this de lay. “The matter could all have been transacted hy mail, and I am cooped up here for uotliing. I urn doing noth la", nt a dead expense, and have a notion to go home. The next morn ing he went to the agent and asked him if he could get the abstract that day in time to go home. “No,” said the agent, tossing back his Iron - gray locks, and smiling serenely. “It will be impossible. Just be contented; don’t get homesick, and all will go right yet.” “But this delay is useless. I don’t see why the whole matter" can not be settled by maiL” “We may find a purchaser for the property,” said the gentleman, bring ing a cigar from his case, trimming the end of it, and then with a flourish, bringing it to his mouth. “Do you know how soon you will be ready for me to returnr “I can't say. just yet, but hope soon to have the matter all fixed up satisfac torily.” The agent then brushed his vest antf coat with his hand, stroked his iron gray whiskers and elevated his feet to the top of the desk before him. His boots were blacked and his clothes brushed w'ith care. Taking his ivory lamiled caue, he tapped the toes of his boots leisurely, as though he were in no particular hurry about any thing. W ar ron fixed his eyes on him a moment ami became more impatient, —can not the agent work on the abstract this morn ing? (The agent has not worked an hour in the last week on the abstract.) No, the agent says he has another matter to attend to this morning, and it will not be at all convenient. War ren is more impatient, and if he had the authority would hunt up another agent. After pacing the floor a moment or two, strangers come in to talk on business, and Warren goes out. Goes to his hotel iu no very amiable frame of mind. People sometimes “over do” a thing, os Western folks say. In this case the enemies of Helen Lukenmn and Warren Stuart, in their earnest zeal, had car ried their point a little too far. Hallie Arnold was triumphant at having exposed that bold-faced hired girl to the world. Never did a game cock crow over a vanquished enemy more than she did at the girl’s fall. “I guess this’ll learn Warren Stuart a lesson,” she said to herself. “He’ll know hereafter how' to slight respect able girls for a pot slinger.” She longed to tell Warren herself. But Hallie had too much sense to write to him. He should hear it all, but not through her. She would find an em missary to do her work for her. After taking several in her mind and drop ping them, she finally fixed on Bill Jones’ w ife, the keeper of the poor house. Sallic Jones was acquainted with Warren, could write “a tolerable hand,” and was the very person to break the news. Instead of waiting for Warren to return home, or hear the story from some one else, she got Sal Jones to write to him. The next morning, after Warren’s Inst visit to the agent, he received a letter addressed in a strange scrawling hand. It was mailed at Newton, and, puzzled to know" who it was from, lie broke it open. He read it about half through, and sank into a chair groaning, while the letter dropped at his feet. He was alone in his room. After a few moment she again seized the letter and, read it through. It was as follows: ‘•Newton, May , IS . Mister Warren Stuart, 1 reckin you will be surprised to git a lettur from me, but I have not furgot you i thot i would rite an’ tell you the ause, yur folks is well. Hallie Arnold is stll the bell. Sur 8 town fellers are u most ded fur her but we know she don’t want ’em. tfiut hired girl of yur mams turned out bad. She got so bad yur folks had to drive her off, an' thon she went 1 uite with a strango feller to Mistur Arnold’s an’ stole som money an’ juelry. now they hev got her in jule, an’ the little boy we are koopin’ no inoar at present. Hop you will bo home sune. Gurdbi yur frond, Sally Jones." Warren arose, crushing the badly written, badly spelled epistle in his hands. Illiterate as the letter was, there was a depth of shrewdness in it which he knew did not belong to Sally Jones. He paced the floor a moment, ind then his resolution was formed. Noble fellow—the darts of slander found no vulnerable point in his armor of faith in the poor girl’s innocence. The long silence, the fact that he received no letters, this unnecessary journey, convinced him that there was a deep conspiracy. He seized his hat and valise, paid his hotel bill, which left him with fifty-five cents in his pocket. He walked down the street to a shop, where three brass balls indicated the business carried on within -there he pawned his gold watch for twenty dol lars, and hurried away to the depot. He bought a ticket to Stratton, which was only forty miles from Newton. At Stratton he must change cars, but lie w:is assured that the rouneotion was close. Filled with anxiety, and har nissed by doubts and fears, Warren traveled all day and all the following night. He did not take a sleeping eoach, because his limited means would not. allow this luxury. Occasionally he dozed as the train thundered along over rolling prairies, forest glades and down the beautiful valleys. The moon was riding high in the heavens, and the stars twinkled upon the earth. He wondered if there could be any truth in “Sal's” letter. Again and again he asked himself: “How is this all to end ; will I be enabled to save her from dis grace?” At sunrise the next morning the train arrived at Stratton. Our hero got oft’ and asked the first man he saw iiow soon the first train to Newton would come in. “It is six hours late, sir, and will not be here before twelve or one o’clock,” the junction agent answered. Although half wild with delay, our hero could do nothing but wait. As he was going into the dining hall he ran against Pete, the peddler. “Hello, Warren, ye’re just heroin a nick o’ time,” said Pete. “Did ye hear about yer gal ?’* WAKIIEN AMI TBS RHPUS “Pete, let’s take a room, I want to hear it all from you.” Pete had walked o\ erfrom Big Sandy the day before, and ) st night was the first he had heard of it, but the whole country was talking o\er the supposed laroeny.
