No oilier preparation has wen success at
horns equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. In
Lowell, Mass., where It is made, it is now,
as it has been for years, the leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. This “ good came
at home” is “a tower of strength abroad.”
It would require a volume
PcOplO to print all Lowell people

Sarsaparilla/ Mr. Albert

Street, Lowell, for 13.years
employed a3 boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president cf the Eriu Telephone Company,
had a large running sore come en bis leg,
which troubled him a year, when he began to
take Ilood’s Sarsaparilla. The sore soon gre ,v
ic-ss in size, and in a short lime disappeared.

Jits. C. W. Marriott, wife cf the Tim As¬

for ic years she was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every fort¬
night, when she was obliged to lake l.c r bed,
and wa3 unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and after a time
the attacks ceased entirely.
Many more might tc piven had wo room.

WON BACK.
BY GUIKEVEXE.
Up the winding, dusty road, in
the early summer morning, moved
a soMo.ry figure—a woman's figure
draped in rusty black
with her faeo partially concealed
behind a flowing vail.
Sho walked slowly and with an
effort, as it her strength scarcely
served to tiphold her, her shoulders
bent, and her arms hung listlessly
beside her; now and then sbepaused
io take breath, and sometimes she
pressed her hand upon her breast,
as if to quiet the throbbings of a
palpitating heart.
“S-> near—so near,” she mur«
mured. “And my courage fails me.
Yet he would not know me; he
would pass me by. Perhaps hois
not here; tho place may be sold, and
only strange faces greet ntc—that
would bo well, for I may rest awhile
then, and sit in the old poich while
I drink in with these hungry eyes
the oid familiar scenes. Oh, fool,
fool that I was! how dearly kavo 1
paid for my madness of that time!'
Slowly she moved on, and at last
a low cry broke from her lips; she

«»* » l«g«, Old r»hioncd garden,
and a quaint, * trablcd cottage ^ nest
led among tho trees.
Tho woman flung back her vail,
and the sun shone on a wan, thin
face, with pale lips and hollow eyes.
Sho loaned upon Iho top tar of the
rustic ience, and strained her vision
tor ... a better view.
“All unchanged,” she muttered.
“There is ihc oid arbor and the li
iai-bushes, the vines trailing up to
the window. Ah, how often have I
leaned from yonder sill and broken
the blossoms, to twine in my hair!
I am glad I came, yet my heart, my
poor heart beats nigh to breaking,
How strangely I fee!!”
She placed her hand on her fore
head and gazed about in a puzzled
way; if possible, her face had grown
whiter.
“i believe I am ill,” she thcughi.
“The long walk in the sun was too
marl, tor mo lam not strong. How
my heart throbs! and this pain in
my bead—whv, . , , what . . . is the ., matter?

den blur fell overall; liny lights
danced before her eyes, and then
came total darkness. She held out
her hands, took a tottering step for
ward, and fell, face downward, on
the green sward.
Two men driving by in a carriage
saw her when sho fell, and one of
them sprung oat to lift her from the
ground.
<» She’s fainted, Ilcnry—overcome :
by the heal. I guess,” he said. “She !
looks as if it wouldn’t take much to
kill her. Wonder who the is?"
“I never saw her before,” said
tBe other. “She has been passing
tl:r~ yli to the town—for work, per
ha n '. What will .’c do?”
‘ Take her to Mrs. Aldcn,! guess,

“What! bis wife? The black-eyei

“The same—but she was a beau

that. I if drive round lo the gate.”
lie had placed his harden on the
low seat, and a moment later was
driving toward the broad front gale
of Iho estate.
“Jerry Alden’s back,” he said,
j-‘IIo never got over the blow, for
worshiped that girl, and she was a
flighty madcap cf a thing w ho was
never contented here. She had a
pretty good voice, and was as vain
: as a peacock, so she ran. away one
day and was never seen since. I
heard she was making a fortune on
> the stage. Poor Jerry!”
- here’s his mother.’’

“Ob. « v rac ■ : .yr
will Jerry say? What can I do?”
She applied restoratives, howcY**
or, and soon the heavy lids raised,
but there was no light of reason in
the black eyes.
“I had to come,” whispered the
'■ pale lips. “Of course ho will nev
ev know, but I wanted to see the
old place before i—I- Oh! this
weight on my head, and the sun—
how it shines! Can’t somebody shut
H out: it blinds me. Why, I see
now it's the footlights, and they
are waiting for me to sing. Arc
the roses in my hair?”
Then she began to sing in a low. :
minor key, breaking oiT to talk a*
gain in hor senseless wav. Sho had
tho fever, and nothing would quiet
her; but when they cat vied hor to
ibo little room where tho vine
leaves shutout tho sunlight and j
laid her between lavender-scented
sheets, she seemed to be more eon
tent.
For days the fever r>li ickon uo
man lay there, and all her pas* life
was rehearsed; Jerry Aldcn, w a tv-li¬
ing beside her sometimes, learned
bow sho bad suffered and how she
repented her folly’.
Sho woke to conriousncss one
day, to sco a quiet, familiar figure
seated besido her; one wild look in¬
to tho bearded face, and her own
flushed strangely.
“You here!” she gasped; “why,
where am I—this room—Jerry,ah
this is home—your home?”
Then she cried softlv, and he
made uo effort to comfort her, but
the expression of his face was kind
Iv. %>
“You have been very sick, Bes¬
sie,” ho said, “I am glad thev
brought you here.”
“Oh, I did not want you to
know,” she said weakly; “I thought
I would come to sco tho cld place
and go away again—and you would j
never know. Then il is your home
still.”
“I never mean to part with it, ’
he said.
A low days later she told him
the story of her life since she had
deserted him
“1 was very wicked,’’ she said;
“I was discontented, I wanted rich¬
es and fine clothes, and I thought
my voice would bring me a fortune.
I was pretty then, and that spoiled
mo. I left you because you were
poor, Jerry, a : d this humble life
wearied me. But I soon discovered
my mistake—it is a hard, wicked
world, and I could only earn a bare
living as chorus singer—oh, what
a dreary life! Then I was sick and
m y uoieo left me. .Uow I have
Hvcu since I do not know. ’
Sho looked at him wistfully.
“Y r ou Co not hate me?” she said.
Bessie, I pity you,” ho an*
swered gravely. “Your sufferings
have wiped out all rccollcclion of
your wrongdoing, and, after ail.
J ou ' v cre a vain, foolish child. You
have been taught a severe lesson.”
“Tell me, is there anyone else
y°u—you care for if—if you were
free? I have hope:? to die that you
would
“Hush, Bessie, I love no one. I j j
want to tell you that you are \vc!-l
come to stay hero if you wish.”
“Here!” sho cried, while a hot
flush dyed her thin face. “Why, I i
have thought of this and wished—
Jerry, you are too kind to me—I
would come back as a stranger, a
would work daily that
this roof m'gbt shelter me—but no.
1 must not, it cannot.” I
If '
c looked for an instant into her
htec, and read there thnl it was for
his sake she refused, that this life
^e onCli left would bo blissful for
her now; 1 ut she would not stay to
be a shadow 01 . his hearthstone,
‘‘^ c is charitable/' she thought,
“Of*aoursc he cares nothing for me!
but it is like him to offer this.' Oh,
if I dared accept.”
“No, Jeri y ,vc will 1,0 happier'
apart.” she said, and sighed because
he did not urge ° hor farther. .
As you say. Bessie, . be ,
wered. “But veu must live; and
mow that vc have met again. 1 u-iil

After a lour through the
Bessie returned to tho parlor,
tho servant went to prepare a lan*

wistful eyes—everything was so
cozy and comfortable,
“A beautiful place,” sho said.
“The t>wror must be wealths.”
“Not particularly—but well

“Don’t,” she said, while a pained

“Poor Bessie!”

looking down at her with sofloncd

lowing day tho list was handed in
and taken u'p by the quartermaster
who was somewhat puzzled over
art item of “six testimonials.” Ncv

old sergeant was sent forte explain.
Pointing to tho item, the quarter¬
master asked what it war.
“Bern am testimonials,” the sers
gcnr.t replied.
“But thero is no such tool, ’ the
Quartermaster said.

“Oh, yes,' replied the sergeant.
“Dal’s do name what do catalogue

“Bring mo *«ho catalogue.”

quartermaster’s desk, opened the
catalogue, placed bis finger on the
