DENSLOW'S CURE.
Medosa Clark In Chicago Current.
“Ef ra > knowed that hen mi blind I
wouldn’t he’ brnng it to go.”
The speaker »u< tall, gaunt Arkansas “big,"
and the lady he addimcd wit Madoline Field,

under the bright doudloai eky of an Arkansas
A toft, dimpled hand abided her oyos, and the
floating white of her morning drew enveloped
her like a summer cloud; altogether It was a
Striking picture.
The big, rough-bearded fellow standing in
his ungainly market wagon, the tired mules,
with heads down-hanging and their ragged-
looking can pathetically flapping at the per
sistent flies, tbs rustle basket up-piled with
luscious, satin-cheeked peaches and the latticed
box of fowls in the rear.
“Hot at all an unpleasant picture,” thoigbt
weary invalid Burt Danslow, as be sat down
opposite them and noted the homely events.
He bad the eye of an artist, and always
found the picturesque especially In this wildly
romsnttc village In the Ozark*.
So be watched the small figure of this pretty
blende as she stood there negotiating with tho
native for an exchange of fowls, as she said one
of the benssho had bought at hli previous visit
wet blind; another, she said, had dts, and she
was obliged to have its head cut off, while the
third “laying hen" persistently crowed every
morniog, to her distress and that of tho invalid
mother, on aceount oi whose health the two
bed come there from a northern town.
Hatton being satisfactorily ad lasted, the man
drove on with a load crack of hie leihed whip,
and aha went into her cottage bearing a basket
of thou tempting peaohes.
Twenty.thru years before her mother had
married Dr. Field, who was an army aurgeon,
and »be a hospital nnne, self-elected, coming
south from her quiet New England homo to do
her share In the great straggle between the
north and south. Her lover had bun killed in
the tint ef the war, and aha took her aching
heart down Into the blood-sprinkled sunthorn
hospitals, and Dr. Field had wooed and won It
in this UDTomsntlc life, and Hadolino, their
only child, was a natural physician.
Bhe could never aoo pain or lllnets of any
sort that she did not seek to relievo it. It wss
a perfect passion with her.
She had eagerly read all her father’s hooka,
and only the strangest opposition from both
parents prevented her from regularly study lug
.'or tho profession. Like all hobbyists, she had
many theories. . .
school: all' the servants; since she was a child,
had come in for a aharo of -'Hiss Meddlo's doc-
toting," and even her parents were obliged to
submit to her tyranuous rule in that particu
lar.
Bringing her mother to Wanako Springs had
bttn her idea entirely.
She had learned that the water there was ab
solutely pu re, hence, she said, navlug very little
of the solids, It moat eliminate ill, which la her
mamma took the form of rheumatism, but as
she to this day suffers still from tho dreed
companion of damp atmoapliereand north lake
winds, it la safe to assume that Usdollno's the
ory filled In this instance at lout. Another of
her theories was that starvation would take any
poison from tho system, and ones; when only
13, she had atamd heiself for several days ia
' older to relieve hentlf from the poison of ivy.
Her pnn (whether it were ’ faith” or “mini
over matter'' is not known to this day) wss
certainly effected, and she always held that up
u a living exunplo.
At the time of which I write Wanako Springs
was not tho thriving metropolitan town it no w
is, with its hngo cut-stono hotel, its railroad
and its omnibus lines.
“It was twenty mils* from the rail srsy and es
sentially back woodsy, with its shaky little
cottagestetup on pegs, and its unlighted streets
and mixed society,
At that time they had regular exparltnoa
meetings where the Invalids stood np and told
whet the waters of tho springs had done for
the good of the afflicted bodies. At one of there
meetings hfadoline met Burt Danslow and he
frankly said he was not improving.
Here, then, was a chance for her to experi
ment. Seme one of bar hobbies might here be
safely ridden*
She leaked kt him earnestly. He was not an
tmintenitlug subject—tall, well-built and dark,
with the blackness almost of an Italian in his
hair, though hit brent seemed ts have tiken

ancestry, and his complexion was pale and
colorless as marble almost They became good

The physical well-being of the patient was

It would seem that all the water In Wanako
Springs was not suffleknt to eliminate the
poison. There Lad been no words of love be
tween Mm end Mbs Field.

impossible for him to talk sentiment any way.
BsHde. aa he bitterly said to himself:
“It vrculd never do for a man with ona foot

One evening ke escorted Maioline home from

Then was do romance in tha mattar, a pure

very much in love with this erratle little per

Added to this, he knew shame not cognizant

had she been old and ugly; but when a large-

man who is young, sympathetic and good-look

that are absolutely charming, It generally hap
pens that the admiration deepens into affec
tion, and the respect Into the warmest lore.
So they were married very quietly. No one
thought ft odd in any way or different from
