COULDN’T HEAR IT THUNDER,
An interesting letter from Mr. John W.
Weeks, superintendent of I)eKalb Pauper
Home:
From a feeling of gratitude and a
desire to lienefit others, I voluntarily
make this statement. 1 have great
reason to be thankful that 1 ever heard
of R. P>. IC. as 1 know what a blessing it
has been to me. I have suffered with
bronchial Catarrh for a number of years.
Six months ago I was taken with severe
pain in right ear, which in a few days
began to discharge matter, with terrible
and almost unbearable palpitation and
all sorts of noises in my head. In ten
days after the commencement of dis
charge and pain in my-ear l began to
grow deaf and in six weeks I was so deaf
that I could not hear thunder.
I was then compelled to use conversation tnbe,
and it was often that I could not hear with the
tube. T then commenced taking Is. H. ii. and the
running of my ear ceased running in five weeks,
and can now hear without the tube. My general
health has improved, palpitation ceased, and
feel like anew being, and appreciate the benefit
i have received from li. li. li. (made in Atlanta,
Oa.) with gratitude to God and thankfulness to
the Proprietors for such a medicine. I cheerfully
recommend it to all who are aftieted with deaf
ness and catarrh. Try it; persevere in its use
and you will be convinced of its value.

lie hail Ions: felt as if walking, not
merely in his sleep, but in one of those
familiar nightmares wherein the legs
feel like dragging lead and yet have to
go ou and on and on, against time and
need, with the minutes living away fast
befo/e and vague pursuit behind. But
the lights put new life into h'm. They
meant, at the very worst, a heel of hard
goat's cheese and r litter of straw, A
•little ravine broke rho plain and led
towards the twinkle. lie did not re
member the path, but his mind was in
a daze. No doubt he would know it
well enough by day. At last
“ (Jni va la?”
He started, and rubbed his eyes. That
was not quite the way they challenged
in Portuguese.
“Friend,' 1 said he. “Lusitanian Le
gion, Bringing in wounded —”
“ HaUc.hr
There was a clatter of arms—why in
the v orld should they turn out the
guard?
But by the light of a lantern he soon
saw what the language would have told
less sleepy cars. The ears woke up
now. and the eyes. too. He looked
round him-still bewildered, though as
wide awake as a weary man could be.
“ F.sealoua?” he asked.
“He thinks he is in Escalona!” sa : d
the man with the lantern, holding it
into his eyes. Then, from the hut that,
served for a guard room, came out an
ollicer, with Frenchman written all over
him, who looked at the swaying soldier
on the horse and then from him to the
Portuguese soldier on foot, as if he were
put out by such a combination of things.
Dick saluted, hand to cap. “Ira
afraid I've made a slight mistake,” said
h.*, in his native tongue. “I’ve brought
this comrade of mine, and ad or alive, out
of the tight; I’m of the Lu-itanan
Legion at Escalona, and 1 thought this
was Escalona; but I'm hanged if I think
so now, unless you French have cared
to carry that beggarly hole. I suppose
I'm a prisoner? All right. But I sup
pose you’ve got a surgeon for my com
rade here?”
They only stared. Then the officer
gave an order, in which Dick could
make out a word that seemed to mean
“Interpreter.'’ And he must have been
right; for after some quarter of an
hour, with the English soldier’s head
reclining on his shoulder, a woman,
dressed Spanish fashion, appeared, and
talked with the officer some five min
utes m ire. Then tiie lantern was aga’n
thrust into his eyes, so that he could
hardly si e for blinking.
“Sir,” said she, in English fiat star
tled him, “the L eutenant here desires
me to interpret your story for him.
What shall I say?”
‘ Madam KraSinska! Madam Kras
inska, by all that’s—”
“Hush. We have no names here, if
you please. Remember two things,
and we shall get on very well. One
none here knows English; not one
word, Two -say what you like to mo,
and I shall turn it into any sort of
French I please. Only, do not lie to
me. It is 1 who shall tind the lies.”
“The llei—l sho ild think you will!”
She spoke to the Lieutenant, as if in
terpreting; and afterwards, whenever
the prisoner spoke —no doubt quite as
faithfully as sli * pleased.
“You were more gallant on Wednes
day,” sail she. “But it is all equal,
1 quite comprehend you will never be
lieve in a woman again—until the next
time.”
“11m! Is this Escalona?”
“Escalona! No; th sis Santa Olalla,
do you not know? Have you not then
taken my counsel, and come—”
“Asa spy? So that’s what you
think. Good God. to be taken all in
one n ght by a Span’sh she-wolf for a
corps -robber and by a spy for a spy!”
* T c i,” asked she, sharply, “what
brings you here?”
“aiy legs; 1 know not what else,”
sai l lie.
“But you must have crossed the
river, ifo v could you think Escalona
to be on th's side?”
“1 crossed no river.”
“i said—no lies to me.”
“Lies?”
“ Pardon, sir, I know you tell no lies.
If you did I should know. Besides I
sie. You must have c.osssed the river
by the pi nloon; ti.k ng it in the dark
for the track. T. at was not clever, sir.
But what is to be done?”
“Get a surgeon for t >is man. He was
alive- some hours ago.”
“Ah - your comrade. And he was a
handsome comrade, too.” said she,
taking the lantern and hoi ling it up to
the deal or dying man. “An English
se‘rg'*nL Ah. wed. He will light uo
more.”
“ He is dead, then?”
‘•Alas, yes. You need hold him up
HO longer. Lift him doWO.”
Dick could rot help a True,
the dea 1 man was no more to liitu t :aa
the huiidrels upon hundreds of bravo
fellows. English and Frei eh, who ha l
(lied that day. But he had made him
his own, in a fashion, and he would
have given h's whole wealth, which was
sixpence, to have brought him in alive.
The English sergeant was lifted down,
roughly—for what was one man more—
but nos irreverently, and laid aside, as
dead and done for.
‘•Now for l!i • living,’’ said madam?.
“Mr. Blaekthorne. you are a great,
big, big fool, but 1 l.ke you; it is nice
to meet with a great big fool. 1 fear I
have done you harm; but, in tine, war
i- war. Now you slia’l go free if you
will tell mo which side lias ga ned this
day; and, mind, what you say 1 shall
believe. ’
‘*l don’t know. And if I did, I should
not tell.” But those eyes and that
voice, with tlie smile in both, were
making more play with him than he
c. red to own. ‘"Countess—l moan
madam, you have done me more wrong
• —than—than a man who is not quite a
coward ought t.) bear. 1 ought to be
in the place of that poor fellow there.
You’ve made me a spy and a skulker
besides.”
“A ‘skulker!’ I can not interpret that
But it soun !s bad, very bad; and so 1
am very so.ry, indeed. Mr. Black
thorn, when you go back to your En
glish or your Portuguese, and ask about
Madame Krasinska. aus Poland, you
shall hear a great deal, you shall hear
her called spy, and adventuress, and —
aid one thousand things. And
some wll be true, and some will
be lfei. But you shall tell them
baek that if she loves one thing
mo t above all, it is a foal who trusts
and can not 1e if he tries. I would
have made your fortune if you had let
me; but I am glad you do not let me,
because so I love you the more. Do
not leave oil - being a fool—the next
time a woman tel s you a story, believe,
and believe, and believe. You will be
light -some day.”
She turned sharply from him, and
said soni tiing to the Lieu enaut, of
which he (ould not make out a single
word. But it could scarcely have been
complimentary either to his honesty, or
to his patriotism, or to h's honor. For.
instead of h's being put under arrest as
a prisoner of vva , the oflicer clanked
himself off and the guard turned in,
leaving him alone with the lady and
with tho sentry, who counted for noth
ing.
“Good-night, s'r,” sad she. “Ride
off fa t -and if you keep tho river, you
will reach Talavera sa'ely. You will
lind your own people there —for to-day.
But I won’t answer for what you may
lind to-morruw —”
“What—l am five? Are you in com
mand? ’
“Of my own department—always.
Good-night and remember all what l
say.’’
He took his horse by the bridle, but
could not help lingering. “1 hope,”
sad he, “as you are in co nmand they’ll
bury that poor fellow with h's ring.”
She shook her head, shrugged her
shoulders, and smiled.
“Ah,” said she, “I see there is no
need to tell you not to be a fool—no
need at all.”
FABLE THE SIXTH.
ONE IS ENOUGH TO WAIT AND WOO,
It was another sort of harvest that
was over at Leys Cl’o.'t; and it had b ;en
as ample in its own way; and prices
ruled h : gh, ly reas ,n of the war.
Everything ought to have been well
with Farmer Biackthor ■, supposing
farmers to be made for th > price of
bread alone. Everything looked admir
ably well, now that autumn and rest
had come.
All things except the farmer. The
new life that had came to him some
sixteen months ago had HicKered down
again, and left lmn more broken than
when he had just gone begging for a
hundred pounds. As lie leaned over
his yard ga’e in the sun, nob >dv would
have known him for once hale and
hearty Tom Biackthor.i, loud of voice
an l carriage, and full of spirit and
pride. It was not that he had grown
older by full ten y ars, but (lie spirit
seemed withered out of him. The
genial laugh, instead of hardening, had
changed into a feeble ter. of smile.
There was plenty for him to tlo and
to see after—poverty, at any ta e, was
no longer a burden. Besides, poverty
makes a man light; an l there was no
more light to be” seen in Tom Black
thorn’s face or shoulders or trembling
hand-;. All the work he wa; doing was
to lean over a gate, an l even that
seemed too hard; all he was looking
after was a drake with a do/.en ducks ia
the pond, who were perfectly able to
lo )k after themselves.
But he got tired of even this occupa
tion at last, full of fascination as it is,
and slowly, very slowly, drew the gate
open. Once it wou’d h ve been with a
clatter and swing, so that all the place
could tell when the master went out,
and when he had come home. Before
passing through it, he looked carefully
up at every window of the house, and
then round into every corner of the
yard, and up and down the road, as if
he were afraid of his movements being
seen. *
“ But I’ll be too sharp for ’em yet,”
said he, with a chuckle. “Enoch Mar
rish ain’t quite master yet; and t }l that
happens 1’ 11 be my own. Not up to
walking, am I? Well, they’ll see—
they’ll sec. I’ll walk to tlie leeches;
and tell ’em all about it at dinner-time.
One would think En >ch took me for a
child, or else a sixp nee that he’s a'raid
to lose. Well, well; I mustn’t com
plain. He’s a good farmer, for all he’s
so near. But he’s not master yet —no,
no. I can walk; and I’ll show ’em I
will.”
But he happily ha l something b t‘er
than will, or ra'her wilfulnes , to help
him-he still had the stick he used to
swing and flourish. lie trie lto give it
a flourish now, spOU as, often look'ng
b‘hind hint, he had e eapod out of
sight. But it was a failure; and ha
was presently glad to have something
strong to lean on liea\ ily. The beech s
were the clump on the hill towards
Ilunchester, over the r dge of which*
Pat ence had watched in vain for her
lover’s coming. It was not much of a
walk for a man to scheme after craftily
with a view to a boast; ami there was a
good pith through the iie’ds all tiie
way. Mo.eovcr, tiie walk was full of
interest even to a practical man.
There were the eo\ys; thepe were the
fences. And for am m with the mem
ories of a life bound up with every
stop, there were ten thou and things.
In that brook h o ha l caught not only
his last trout, but h s lirst minnow.
Alo lg this path lie ha l wa’ked every
Sunday to church with his wife till he fol
lowed her into the churchyard; and out
of tiie ten thousand these were but two.
And then he had inherited memories;
for it had been Farmer Blaektho n of
Leys Crofts from father to soa from bo
fo.ethe memory of man. “Leave Leys
Croft!” he mustered. “A goo l joke
that; as if there could boa Leys Croft
without a Blackthorn! When 1 leave
it, at last, they'll have to change the
name-yes, change tl.e name.” But.
short and easy as the walk was, and
varied with cows and memories, he was
slouching yet more heavily on his stick
by tiie time he reached the f tot of the
slope; and he looked wearily at the
beech clump that had sti.l to be gained.
“It has got to be a long \vy —a
very long wry, somehow,” mused he,
“They must have been dong some
thing to the path to make it longer, or
shifted th i beaches farther away. Or
may be they've been cutting some of
the nearest down. 1 must see nbo t
that when I get homo; and if any
body's been up to mischief, and think
uiy eye isu’t on 'em, they’ll find out
who’s master still. No—l don't think
lllgoup to the leeches t and ty. They
won't run away; 111 do the le t
another t me'--another t’me.”
There was, to put the ease fully, an
exceedingly low, broad and tempting
stile on the path ar tho foot of the
slope; an 1 res stance to impu'se had
never been Tom Blackthorn’s strong
point even in bis strongest days. IFs
strength, or weakness, lay in sticking
to the results of impulse whatever they
nrght be. So he sat on the stile, and,
having once 3 iel led, there he was con
tent t > stay. Presently he began to
want a p'pe—which he found in his
pocket, and his tobacco, too But,
alas! when the bowl was filled and
wanted nothing but fire, he turned out
his pockets for his tinder-box in vain.
M li ons will sympathize with Tom
Blackthorn; or at any rate so many as
wll hear of him. What sorrow, after
all, can be greater in its pathetic help
lessness than that of a worn-out old
man falling back upon his pipe, and,
when it is at his very lips, deprived of
its solace for the want of one little
spark of flame? Poor old Tom had
passed through a whole army of
memories patiently. But now he was
rea ty to cry. And then the sun was
so warm on his bowed shoulders, and
the air so crisply sweet, that the army
he had passed through formed their
ranks, and, led by that pipe of Tau
tulus, came on.
And he might have disarmed them
with a whiff—it was cruel.
But presently hope downed. A man
was coming towards him from the di
rection of Hunchester—a man might
ha e a tinder-box and a tinder to spar s
for charity. But “ might ” —he might
not; and that would be the mockery of
fate indeed. T.ie man came nearer.
But no sooner was he full in view than
lie began to turn sharp up the lex el path
and move up the hill.
Such a balk was not to be borne. The
farmer put his hat on the end of his
stick and waved it in the ar. “ Yo
hoy!” he shouted; not with the lungs
of old, but with some very effective re
mains.
And bis signal was seen. The man
turned back, came to within half a
do/.en yards of the stile, and looking at
the farmer without speaking.
“I want to light my pipe,” said Tom
Blackthorn, in a rather querulous way.
•• Have you got such a thing as a tinder
box? 1 thought you were never going
to hear. But ’tis strange how deaf
eve y! ody’s growing. 1 suppose that’s
xv at make i them all m inble so that
nobody els? can hear ’em —all but my
girl.”
The man was one to whom Farmer
BL ek liom would never have spoken in
the old times save to drive him oil his
land, if there ho had taught him, with
lifted stick and hard words. For he
was a tramp; and a tramp of vvhat was
then held the worst and mo ;t danger
ous so t of a tramp —a wandering sol
dier. It was always the . old er tramp
wiio was made answerable for the
burned hayrick, and the farmer's xvife
stopped and plun lered on her way
from market, and for the entries into
houses that stood a'one, and for the ex
cesses of alehouse jollity. Considering
what our soldiers were doing, it was
amazing how grateful we all were to
them whenever they chanoed to come
homo. And., unhappily, they were often
hard put to it to find an honest living,
and so took, or returned to dishonest
ones, while many a soldier who traded
on his scars had never crossed salt
water and had himself manufactured,
his own stock-in-trade. So, after all,
nobody was so very much to be blamed.
Ull ler the circumstances, however,
the tramp was not one whom a feeble
and elderly m m with a good coat that
had pockelg in it would care to meet
alone in the fields in those rough times,
ile was a sadly dilapidated tramp in the
matter of ragged regimentals, and too
stalwart and young to make it fitting
that he should be out of work, if but a
laborer’s. There was something pe
culiar in bis look, too, as he looked on
Fa mer Blackthorn without speaking a
vvor 1.
“Can’t you speak, man? Have you a
tiiul r-box ay or no?”
'Fhe man’s hand made a dive some
where, and brought out a battered tin
box, once round in shape, that brought
a sparkle into Tom Blackthorn’s eyes.
“Thauk you, my good fellow. A
frie.id ia need is a friend indeed.” He
drew in the first smoke, all the sweeter
for delay, and exhaled it with a grunt
and a sigh.
“So you're a soldier?” asked he.
“I have been a soldier.” said the
man. “Don’t you—don't von know
who—”
“Ah; I'm sharp enough. I thought
so, by your clot es. A soldier— ah.
Soldier’s a sad wo.d to me. But a proud
one, too. ’ ’
Ho must have changed, in leed, to be
sitting on a stile and chatting with a
wandering soldier. So changed that
he ha’f smiled in tiie other’s eyes, as if
courting a question, so that he might
have an exc.is; for chatting a little
more. But, as no question came, he
went on talk'ng rs much to himself as
to his listener, as old men will when
they turn garrulous and have no outlet
in a common way.
“Yes,” said he. “I had a boy a sol
dier; but not a common one, Ike you.
He was a sergeant! Think of that, my
man—an ollicer, eh!”
'‘Good Gcd!” exclaimed the tramp.
“Why—”
“Ah—l thought that would take your
breath away, talking to a full sergeant’s
father. Poor Dick! but he always was
wildish; a bit ton much like ttie old
block, I'm a‘raid, when the old block
was new. Yes; a full sergeant was my
boy Dick,” sa : d the old fellow, cough
ing, as it might be witli the smoke, and
rubbing his hand across his eyes.
“And as Lrivo as a lion. But lie d.ed,
sir, ho d'pd, You see my hat-baud?
Tout’s for my son.’ 1
“Pied!’”
“Ay. You may well wonder that
it’s the worst that are left and the b >st
that go. He was the best of sons; and
boys will be l ovs. Did you ever hear of
the battle of Talavera. my man—eh?”
“Talavera —why, I was there!”
“God bless my sou.! Man—give us
your hand!' 1
“ Don’t you remember— ’*
“Everything—everything. I'm won
derful for memory. I remember things
that happoue 1 when I was seven years
old; ay, and before then. What makes
you look so sad and queer? Dash it,
you're a hero, if yon was there. So
you was at Talavera, In Spain! May be
—may be-I was his father, you know;
may be you knew my boy? May be you
saw him die?” #
“Fanner Blackthorn—”
“Ah, Blackthorn—the very name!
Sergeant Blackthorn—Sergeant lliehard
Blackthorn,” went on the old fellow,
eagerly. “Yes, sir; ’twas at Talavera
that my boy Dick, fighting like a glori
ous lon for King George and Old En
gland, died! Fit wager th- re wasn't a
man before him. They teat me word
from London how he'd gone down; and
by Heaven, sir—l was the proudest—
the proudest— Dash it all, man; did
you never see a chap swallow his smoke
the wrong way before, that you're star
ing there like a—like—”
• “This is terrible!” exclaimed the sol
-3: or. “What am I to sayr Farmer
Blackthorn, don't you rememb -r—”
“Terrible, sir? Terrible? What do
yon mean? 1 say it was glorious
glorious! And he was ray only son.
Did you know my boy Dick— SergeaDl
Richard Blackthorn, I mean?”

A Certain Cure for Catarrh.
Trim be, Tkn.w, Feb. 28, 1887.
Gentlemen —For seven years 1 have
lmd catarrh, Three years of that time I
was unable to work. Fnfortunntely,
early in my affliction my breath became
very offensive. For seven years I could
smell nothing, and 1 had no taste. How
offensive my breath was all those seven
years, I need not tell. What were my
sufferings of mind at not being able to
taste or smell anything, can be easily
imagined. I was treated by physicians
all during that time, and I tried numer
ous medicines advertised. I bought one
course of treatment I saw advertised for
SIG that was not worth five cents. Lust
spring a year ago a pamphlet from the
Swift Specific Company came under my
notice, and I determined to try the Spe
cific. Fourteen small bottles completely
cured me that spring and summer.
Worked in the crop for the first time in
four years, and 1 have been working
•right along since without having the
slightest return of catarrh. The won
derful cure of me has been the means of
bringing S. S. S. to the successful notice
of many neighbors. I regard it as a
wonderful blood purifier, and a certain
cure of catarrh when given a fair trial.
Yours truly, Sam. A. Coles.

remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women. It is not recommended as a
“cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for
woman's peculiar ailments.

keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women
generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled
AS an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
