Catarrh
IS .1 blood disease. Until tno poison la
expelled from tho system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
danRerous malady. Therefore, the only
effective treatment is a thorough courso
ot Aycr's Snrsaparllla tho bestot all
blood purifiers. The sooner you begin
tho better j delay la dangerous.
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by a number ot physi
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to tako Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured mo of
this troublcsomo complaint and com
pletely restored my health." Jcsso M.
lloggs, Ilolman's Mills, N. C.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec
ommended to mo for catarrh, I was in
clined to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried 80 many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
euro me. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
had nearly lost tho senso of smell, and
my system was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when a friend urged
mo to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re
ferred me to persons whom it had cured
of catarrh. After taking halt a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
that tho only suro way of treating this
obstinate disease la through' the blood."

Tlio Green Mountains wero beauti

huge, council forms etrongly outlined
ngniuSt tho dun winter sky. The snow
liiio'a limit was abruptly marked n
thousand feet abovo the level, and tho
I dark earth below, with its bleak, brown
Bhrubbery, afforded a contraat M novel
as it was beautllnl.
At tho foot of tho mountains, peace
ful and picturiBcmo lay the villas of
Meadowvalo, which was liko many
towns of rural Now England. Tho
place possessed no distinguishing char
acteristic: it was ono 01 tno tuofpy old
hauutB that abound in tho Vermont
hills, with no claims to famo, no ambi
tion, no distinction but cxlstauce. Not
a startling event marked its municipal
record, and its progress for a suoro of
years could bo told in a breath.
Climbing upward from tho villago
to-ward a solitary and dilapidated littlo
but winch hum; on tue mountain-sido,
was a slcndor, wnn-faccd bov. poorly
clad for that seasou of tho year.
Through his roseod shoes hU hands
lacked mittens, and his jacketand pant
aloons were thin aud tattcrod.
But his oyos wero bright aud bis ox-
premiou showed a spi'it of honesty
and resolution.
Tho path was steep and rugced, and
presently tho boy paused for breath.
Ho heated himiulf on a convoinont
rock, and irazjd with a mjanoholy air
down upon thu village.
All the region was sileut. it was
early moraine and not vet t'.rao for
the sound of tho woou-ohopper s axe to
echo through tho mountains. VolumeB
of white-fringed smoko rose hesitatingly
from the chimneys ot tho littlo weath
erworn dwellings, and vanished in the
hungry atmosphere. Far down a wido
irregular street, almost at tho ond, ho
could discern bis own humblo home,
doarly beloved, for ho bad uover known
a 'jotter.
From ono of his patched pooketa the
boy drew a half-dozen old coins, of al
most no intrinsic value, and began to
I jingle them in his hand. Tho sound
was pleasant to him. it wa3 not oftou
that no heard mouoy rattle, and altho
ugh these pieces wore praolioslly val
ueless, thoy wero his own, aud as thov
I rattled musically ho could imagine them
gold. Ho really prized them highly,
not lor what thoy would purchase
that was littlo, indeod but for their
ago and their poouliar oharacter.
Two or throe weeks uMoro somo
Boston dealer in bid aud raro coins,
having eomohow secured his name and
address, had sent him a catalogue with
I descriptions and prices of ancieut
money pieces, and it had interested
him. straightway ho had becomo a
I coin colector. In tho bottom of ono of
tho old bureau drawers where his
mother kept odds and ends, he remem
bered lo havo seen somo curious old

"I don't liko bookl" ho doolarod.
"That's all bosh, any way."
"No, it isn't," Harry assented, with
spirit. "Now, If I had a dollar of
1804 do you know what I could got

Sam was much amusod at this state

I they had been the first money she bad

him, they served lo ostaulish tho
foundation of his collection. But just
there his collection stopped. Ho had
no money to pay for other coins, nor
did ho know of any ono who had coins
to exchange. So ho was not much ot
a collector after all.
As ho rattled the copper and fanci

would do with so much money, and tho
I shadow on his fauo lighted and his
eves danced.
"Mcdiciuo lor motnor mat wouiu

they're well worth a dollar, nnd twice

This last remark was a very persuas

Harry remembered that tho shoes had
beon offered to ono boy for ninoty-fivo
ocnts. But ho did not rofer to this.
"I'll toll you why I oan't tako 'em,"
ho said. "Mother's como down Biok

Ho began to scowl.
"I thought you was a follor of yor

Ho slammed tho door. Again llarry
started down tho mountain. Ills step
was lighter now. Ho had dono his
duty; his consoionce was for tho
momont clear. Indignant at his rudo
treatmont, at tho despicable insult, he
mado up his mind ho would not again
attempt to explain tho peculiar value
of Iho coin to the ignorant misor. Tho
dollar of 1801 was his his very ownl
Half-way on tho steop decant ho met
Sam Hagland, who bore, in addition to
his gun and cartridge-belt, a brown

tho circumstances which prevented his
parting with that prooious silver coin.
Ho tried to impress upon Sam an idoa
of its won Jorf nl value, and ho promised
h'ni .hat in a fow days, as soon a3 ho
c mid soil tho coin, ho would tako tho
shoos as ho had agreed; but tha youth
ful rough was obdurate.
"You'ro a fooll" was the epithet he
hurled at llarry. "You can't trifle
with me! Gimma that dollar."
Harry's lips closed resolutely as ho
drow back from tlio bully. He would
resist the outrage with all his power.
Ho attempted to thrust tho dollar into
his posket, but it slipped from his
fingars, and wont rolling down tho
