. There being such a great demand
for Fever remedies in this country,
I have been making n special study
of the different remedies used in
malarial troubles ever since I have
been in the drug business. I de
termined last Fall upon putting up
■Some preparation that would cure
the majority of eases of Fever,
Ague, Chills, etc., and that would
take the place of a great number of
Northern and Western Fever and
Ague remedies, believing that one
living in this section is capable of
preparing something that is better
for the peculiar class of fever and
the debilitating condition of the
system that prevails during the
Summer months. I have far ex
ceeded my expectations— Last
Spring I began to manufacture
JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC.
Since which time I have .put up
and sold several thousand bottles,
and IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO CURE
in A single instance. Meeting
with this unprecedented success I
feel perfectly safe in placing a
GUARANTEE upon EVERY, bot
tle; so, when it is taken according
to the directions and it does not ef
fect a cure the rponey will be re
funded. .
The regular ipractie'in# phyri*-
erarrs oMic country have exnlnm-
cd the formula of Jennings’ Ifercr
Tonic, nnd pronounce it efficient
and harmless. ' —
I place before tbe public .only a
few of tbe great number of unsolic
ited certificates received iij regard
to its cures. •

KIItA’S COAST—NO. 3.
All Night in a Swamp—
JRescued from a Fattier
by Nellie—Love■ of a
Confiding Girl—
Pigeons—Nel
lie? s Grave.
Nellie was not one of those
beautiful girls whom it is said
tbe god of love had endowed
with a nature as sweet as molten
sugar, neither did she have eyes
like the stars or a form equal to
Venus, but she was a plain,
simple country girl. She wore
a dress of homespun, spun and
woven by her own hands; her
shoes were made of heavy
leather, while the hat on her
head was made of palmetto. She
fifteen years of age—one
year younger than ourself—was
freckle-faced and had brown
curly hair.
“Poor, dear hoy,” she said, as
she th’.ew the light of her torch
upon us as we lav upon our
couch of palmetto leaves, with
a log of the same for a pillow.
‘•‘My father and brother have
done another mean trick; just
as I suspected when they re
turned without you; are you
cold?” the girl asked, as she
piled some pieces of dry pino
on the fire which she luuJ-titrtHrii'rtiead'to bide her flowiif
on the ground;-' " *"
“Very—almost chilled,” wo
auswergd, as a cold sea-broeze
^frinstfed through the limbs of
the wild’ hog-plum trees over
iur head.
“Then you must stand near
thcjfirc and get its full warmth,
while I gather more wood to
burin.”
We tried to get up from our
reclining position, hut we fell
bach in pain and horror. Our
legs had become numbed with
cold, while the most startling
noiie greeted our ears. Those
wlio have heard such a noise
otyee will never forget its sound;
it( was a whirring, buzzing rattle
leadly, horrible and sicken-
for the air was laden with
[(Tensive but peculiar musk,
'on’t move, for your life,
1” Nellie said, as she raised
cbiaud; “dont move, child,
Jfidc its eyes, and will kill it jn
lomeut!” -
ure enough, we looked
toward our feet, and there saw a
larjrp rattlesnake,in a coil, ready
to i strike death to anything
within reach.
‘‘Don’t move,” she warned
again, and the erect head of the
deadly reptile quivered around,
to nnd fro. We needed no ad
monition, for wo were scared
nearly out of-our wits, and
closed our efes in mortal terror.
!A heavy blow from a stick in
ttye girl’s hand caused us to look
tbe direction of the shake
in, and we saw the efl^ct of
er stroke. Tho snake was ly-
rig Stunned, with its poisonous
fangs fastened in the legfijf o.ur
old cowskin hoots!
Another heavy blow,and then
tbe little girl Tsbq. was small to
her age) draw his snakeship out
to its full length for our aching,
tired eyes to view. It had ten
rattles and was near five feet
long.
“You have saved my life,
Nellie,” we said as soon as we
could control onr feet enough to
hold us up. “You have saved
my life. How cau I repay you?”
“You have already paid me.
When you speak my name so
kind, and so much like a brother
ought to address his sister, 1
feel like you eared soinet
'or mo.
“Yes, Nellie,” was ourqpswer;
“who could help loving you,
■when you have twice savjJ their
life?’ r K
“You are only gratefuwtlien;
you don’t love me,” thff^ girl
sighed, as she stooped aSd un
fastened the fangs of thejsnake
from our bootleg. “Yoti| don’t
love me,and I can’t blaitfe T-ou,”
she continued, as we cou!
tear glisten in the soft, gray eye.
“Nellie,” we said, “you are a
dear, good girl.^md I shall never
forget j’ou; but don’t you know
we are both too young to tajk ol
love? I am' only sixteen, while
you are still younger, nnd if I
loved you and plighted my faith
with you, you would regret it f
probably. When the war ends
and the boys come marching
home with laurels and honor to
lay at your feet, you would be
embarrassed with a knowledge
of my love. Let us wait,” we
said, arising from our reclining
position before the cheery,
crackling fire the girl had made
for us.
“I knew you would say that.
I heard you say you were going
home in a day or two and I
thought you would let me go
with you. Let me go with you
please; I am so tired of this
wild life, and I never* hear a
kind word only when you come,’
thejvjiLsaid-as^she dropped her
answered, “for I don’t care to go
to your house again.”
“Why not? You are not an
gry on account, of last night’s
adventures? Suppose I had left
you on the oyster bar?” •
“I should have been spared
much that I have endured that
was not pleasant,” was our cut
ting answer.
mid see a “Tut,* boy :.it was all for fun.
Be,’' we said, “I have no
hoh. v v-f my own; father and
motheV are dead these teji.years,
and if yon went away with me
what would become of us both?”
. “I would liclp yon work, and
“You don’t know what yon
are saying, dear Nellie,” we said,
as we caught her hand in ours.
“You don’t mean what you
have said, but some day I will
ask you to repeat it.”
“No, you won’t; when yon
leave here I never expect to see
vou again. You - will never
think of the girl who made her
self a fool by asking you to love
her. You call me simple and
confiding. So I am. I have
seen yon in distress, and I aided
you; I knew you had been de
ceived, and exposed myself to
rescue you! Your life was in
danger, and, runuing the risk
of being bitten by a reptile that
was certain death, my right
arm has delivered you from
harm. Can. I do more for (’Ay
ma*n, can any person show their
affection in stronger terms?
Still, you care nothing for me.
Good-bye, Jimmie.”
“Nellie,” we screamed, “come
back. Don’t run away looking
so angry; do come back!”
The girFu-as gone! Ttre sun
was rising over tbe eastern hills,
bright and clear, throwing its
goldeu ravs of light over the
world that had just been dark
ened by the curtaiu of night.
“What are you calling Nellie'
for?” a familiar voice asked, mid
as we looked in the direction,
from whence it came we saw
Rufe Phillips. He looked mean,
his face had depicted upon it
the expression of a mean dog
when he has been detected
stealing meat.
‘‘Hello, what is this?” Rufe
said, as he came up to the fire
and discovered the huge rattler
iyiug.on the ground." You have
bad a battle for life with a bad
enemy. AVhat were you calling
Nellie for?”- • -r\
“Because I wanted to see her,”
was tlio reply.
SJie is at home; if yij^wan
her you k

cent-looking eyes gazing sea
ward.
“Didn’t you forget something,
We knew you would'ccmie to no or, rather, didn’t you forget to
harm here. My wife now has
breakfast ready; -come, let’s go,
she wants to see you.” .
We went back' home with him
and saw Mrs. Phillips; ale
breakfast and was preparing to
leave, when we allowed ourself
to be persuaded to remain all
day, with tho promise of a lot
of sport to make up for all the
mean tricks that had been
played on us.
Several times during the day
we saw Nellie, and she was as
kind and gentle in disposition
as it nothing had ever passed
between us of an unpleasant
nature.
Late in the evening ourself,
Rufe arid his son went back to
the pigeon roost to try our for
tune again. The sun was just
going down, and a gentle breeze
was shaking the leaves of the
tupler-gum and plum bushes
when we reached the enclosure
around the spring. We could
tell from feathers on the ground
and other-signs.jvhere the birds
generally roosted thickCst>-acd-
tukiug our stands within ten
or twenty feet of each other, v ,/
awaited their earning.
Presently three or four flew
in and sailed art and around,
then circling if , rid off were
soon out of sight in the gather
ing gloom.
“They’ll bo here directly, boys,
those were the pilots,!” Rufe
whispered, loud enough for us
to hear.
He was right, for hardly had
ho spoken when overhead was
completely darkened by birds,
while around our heads their
wings were flapping and striking
in dangerous proximity.
"Strike, boy, strike,” Rufe
yelled, and we “struck.”
For five miuutes our polo was
swayed with lightning rapidity
and every stroke brought three
or four pigeons to the ground.

asked, when she had sufficiently
recovered from her fatigue to

“I don’t believe I did," we
answered, looking inquiringly
at the honest, timid face turned
toward us. Wo saw her coun
tenance change, a crimson flush
coining over her face, while her
eyes again sought the distance.
“Are you sure you have for
gotten nothing?” she asked.
“Quite certain, Nellie,” we an
swered, feeling in our pockets
for our knife and other articles.
“What do you think I have for
gotten?” we inquired.
“I thought you would have
told me good-bye, at least. Do
you know that you have almost
broken my heart?" and the girl
broke into a flood of tears.
We were mad now. Hero

She wanted us to love her, and so
,we did, but were afraid to eveu
■confess it to ourself, for when
we love we are a fanatic on the
subject, therefore we thought
best to wait until a suitable time,
love and salt-making wouldn't
work together, we thought.
“Nellie,” we said, can’t you
forgive me for being so absent-
minded? I wouldn’t have gone
off without telling you good-bye
for anything, but as I did, won’t
you kiss mo now, and tell me
good-bye?”
She never s t aid a word, but as
we stepped into the boat and sat
down by her side we saw that
she was willing. Silence gave
consent.
“Do you love me, Nellie, sure
enough,” wc asked.
“As dear as life,” was the an
swer.
“When the war is over I will

before, and we were delighted. | . , , . , .

“Good-bye, sweet one,” we ad

and we continuing our course to
ward Skipper creek.
We looked back as we rowed
away, and she was looking, her
oars playing in the water, and
when sbe saw us looking she
kissed her hand to us and shout
ed, “Good-byel”
Her face had a beautiful smile
on it—the first we had seen from
her since the evening her father
carried us home with liim. She
was pretty, now, and we came
near turning about, following
her home and making love in
dead earnest, but a second, sober
thought, changed our mind.
The drove bad become scattered
and were so broken that wo had
only a few minutes work, when
we gathered our spoils. We
had as many birds as all three
of us could carry in crocus
sacks, and we were on the re
turn by good dark. The birds
were something like a dove, in
deed, we think they were nothing
else, hut people in Wakulla
county call them pigeons.
- The next morning, after we
bad eaten onr breakfast, we an
nounced our intention of going
over to Skipper creek, provided

lips and his son had business at
St Marks, to sell tbe fish caught
o.u the last trip out, but we were
told to take a boat and after
landing at Skipper creek we
were"to leave it for them.
About bine o’clock we rowed
away from the fisherman’s cat-
in and turned the course toward
our temporary home. We had
not proceeded but a short dis
tance when we heard the splash
of oars, arid looking bock saw
