"Try Ayer's Pills"
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and Gout.
Stephen Lansing, ol Yonkora, N. Y.,
Says: "Itecommended oa a euro (or
chronic Costiveness, Ayer's rills havo
zelleved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. It ovory victim of this dis
ease would heed only throo words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
These words would be 'Try Ayer's
Pills.' "
"By tho use of Ayer's rills ulono, I
enred myself permanently of rhcuma- '
tlsm which had troubled mo several
months. These Fills are at onco harmless
and effectual, and, I believe, would
prove a specific in all coses of incipient
Rheumatism.
No medicine could have served mo In
better stead." O. O. Rock, Cornor,

C. F. Hopkins, Nevada City, writes :
"I havo used Ayer's Pills for sixteen
'yearB, and I think they nro the best Pills
In tho world. Wo keep a box of them
in the houso all tho time, They have
cured me of sick headache and neuralgia.
Since taking Ayer's Pills, I havo been
free from theso complaints."
"I havo derived creat benefit from
Ayer's Pills. Five years ago I was
taken so ill with rheumatism that I was
unable to do any work. I took three
boxes of Ayer's Pills and was entirely
cured. Since that time I am never
without a box of these pills." Peter

Thcro's many a think In this world of am?
Unknown, unheeded or lost,
And many a Jewel obscured Itfdust
That's cat elcssly kicked or tost.
There'sjiiatiy a word of comfort and love
We'vff whispered to friends of old,
And many a sigh o'er recreant vows
The pen ot the bard has told.
There's many a chainio on the sticamof life
That darkled or smiled Its-tide,
When the venturous barque rode o'er the wave
Whcrb few-were the stars to guide.
There's many a thrill of hope we've felt
And many n throb ot pain

Prom lips that have taught In vain!
And yet there's a winsome something
Theso memories will recall;
Although they aro mixed with sobbing.

Como gather, and think, by tho heath ofliome,

And dream In tho glamorous twilight hour
On scenes that havo passed away.

With feelings of fonder bliss,
And tlio spirit mado glad to brimming

ALMOST -LOST.
BY CLYWE JtAYMOXI).
"To give the wholo world up, nor call It lost,
If only thou wcrt mine
To peril heaven for thee, nor count the cjst
'TIs thus 1 love Jheo, dear." .
Sang fair Arlino AaJbtgrF wUh a passionate
meaning In every word that' foil so tlirill
Ingly from her pretty lips. And as the last
note died awry, slio whirled suddenly
around'upon tlio stool and looked up Into
tlio lfandsomo dark faco which had bent so
thoughtfully above her while sho sang.
That' Is loyc. Indeed the only loye
worth Hying for, Mr. C'rcvellng," sho ex
claimed, 'with a soft sweet 1IU16 laugh
which her listener might tako playfully or
n earnest, according to his fancy, "llut
wonder how many who profess It really
understand' the passion Inalj Its power and
intensity as expressed In Uio;1soiig? Our
proud, lovely Marl.n over there, for In
stanco" turning her blue eyes slowly to
ward the other'sldo of tho room where a
girl sat playing chess with a fine-looking,
white-haired old gentleman. "Oh, yon
needn't. color so violently, Mr. Groveling"'
with a rougish little laugh; "of course
we all know that she lias yielded, in her
calm, queenly way, to Cupid's fetters.
But still, when I look at her, so cold, so
calm, so passionless, I often llnd mjself
wondering whether sho really Hut
there! a thousand pardons" checking
herself abruptly with a most captivating
look of penitence on her pretty face "I
Lshould not talk like this lo you, of all
men."
"Pray don't distress yourself, Miss Ar
lino," he hastened to say, with nioro tender
forgiveness than displeasure In his tone.
"You've done no harm, I assure you.
You are mistaken in Miss Ersklne's nature,
that Is all. She is not demonstrative, I
grant you."
Arlino sighed very softly as she glanced
up shyly and sweetly Into tho young man's
dark eyes.
"No," she said, half questionlngly,
"that must bo why I and others havo mis
judged her so. I confess I cannot under
stand how, if ono docs love deeply and In
tensely, as as I feel It would be my natttiu
to do how ono could help showing ft In
ovcry word and look. It would bo foolisl
of course, to Urns let one's heait bo read as
if it were an open book: but I know I could
neyer bo so so cold and dissembling as
Marian Krskinol"
"Dissembling!"
It was a word that WlVbur Cievullng
scarcely liked, applied to his betrothed
wife; his check flushed-with sudden warmth
and ho had opened his lips to remonstrate,
but Arllne had whirled back again to tlio
piano with one of her pretty, Impulsive
movements, and was repeating in the
softest and sweetest of accents tho last
lines of tho Impassioned song:
"To peril heaven for thee, nor count the cost
Tis tints I love the dear."
And the drooping bluo eyes wcro raised
to his with such a world of tender lncanlug
In llieii lialf-vcllcd light, that the words ho
had meant to say wero silenced on his lips.
So he leaned upon the Instrument, look'
lug down upon tho fair, expressive tacc,
and listening half dreamily to the passion
ate words sho sang, almost realizing, for
the first time, that all her heart was In the
song, and that It was meant for him.
- Ho staited, with a sensation that was
half shame, half pleasure, as the thought
forced Itself upon him.
lie glanced swiftly across the room
to
Marian, still dutifully amusing her father
at the chess table, and then back to tho
fair, wlnsomo face flushed with an cmo
tion.tlic meaning of which had just dawned
upon his senses,
"Marian Is cold," bo thought,wlth some
thing like a shadow of discontent on his
handsome face. "Arlino has noticed It,
aud so, It seems, have others, I havo '.icon
the object of their pity, possibly, Uut If
they judged her lncapab truo love.Io of
could they have thought Oh, Impossible'
with a thrill ot manly self-contempt.
"Marian's fortune is even greater than my
own. No one would be so wild as to credlo
our betrothal to mercenary lnfluences."t
Still the shadoiv lingered on his brow.
and some subtle attraction kept htm beside
the pretty singer.
"So charming llltlo Arlino loves mo?"
ho mused, half smiling, as ho watched tho
fair, drooping, teli-talo face. "Sho would
die of shame, the pretty child, If sho knew
that had guessed her secret. Well well,
sho must never know It. And she blames
Marian in her passionate, tender llttlo
heart for seeming cold toward me. Ah,
she would not bo so could sho stand In
Marian's place."
All theso wcro mere idle fancies floating
through his brain, almost unconsciously,
as ho gazed Jowli upon Dip blushing, child
llko face, and listened in silcnco to Arllne's
low, dreamy, thrilling music.
But when he crossed the room to Marian,
seeing her disengaged at last, strangely
enough, those Idlo fancies went with him.
and rose up between him and tho fair,
proud faco of his affianced bride as sho
turned, with her rare, sweet smile, to greet
him.
"You havo been well entertained, I'm
sure," sho remarked in her quiet, graceful
way, "for you don't look the least bit
bored. Doesn't Arlino sing delightfully?"
"Yes," he assented, wondering If it real
ly was becauso she could not loyc deeply
and truly herself, that she had not divined
that passion In Arllne's heart toward him.
"But I shouldn't have- listened to her
musfc so long If I had seen a chanco to
claim your attention. You havo been in
expressibly cruel lo me this evening,
Marian."
"Surely, Wilbur, you were not jealous
of papa!" sho exclajmcd, with a low, rip
pling laugh of amusement. "And as to
tho others, of course I could not neglect
them altogether, not oven for you dear,"
lowering her voice tenderly. "A hostess'
tlmo and society are not always at her own
disposal."
"But you scarcely sent me a smile or a
glance, oven, to console me In my oxcile,"
ho went one, half seriously, feeling just In
the mood to resent that "proud, passion
less calm" of whicli Arllne had so pointed
ly reminded him.
"llut you wero in my thoughts every mo
ment," she returned Instantly, looking at
mm with a sort of proud, wondering stir
prlso on her beautiful face, "Certainly,
you know that, Wilbur."
Ho colored under that calm, searching
glance, as though ho had been convicted of
tho basest treachery.
"I will try notto forget itagain.Marlan,"
o murmured, with a constrained little
laugh to liltlo tho sudden and unwonted
concision ho felt in her tranquil presence.

iiecoutu imagine Arlino Ashton reprov
ing a lover for such doubts; but i.t would bo
with drooping oyes and warm, sweet
blushes or, more likely, a hot storm" of
passlonato tears.
But not so Marian Ersklne. There were
blushes on her fair cheeks, nothing save
conscioiisprldoand faith In bcrcalm,quccn-
ly bearing, faho always reminded him of
some regal llower, with her creamy, color
less skin,, her deep, lustrous grey eyes, and
her coronal of gold-brown hair, with red
tints gleaming through it In the changing
lights... .
'Awoman to bo proud of, surely. Y6t.
sitting by her side, listening to her sweet,
gentlo voice, TKilbur Crevcllng found him
self thinking more of Arlino than of her
thinking of tho strange, impassioned lovo
she had so artlessly betrayed to him, and
pitying her most tenderly for ull sho must
myc secretly suffered for his sake.
"Poor child," he thought, watching
with half remorseful, but admiring eyes
the graceful, downcast head and fair, wist
ful faco over thcro at the piano; "I wish I
could alono to heriu some way."
That wish ilruw him to Arllne's sldo of
ten afterward; nnd once there, the pretty
llttlo siren knew well how to hold him in
her chains, liven Marian's fair, proud
faco began to betray a consciousness of the
danger that menaced Ier futtuo happiness.
llut whatever sho suffcted, It was In si
lence. Tlio lyiix-oyed woild about her
could doled no cliiingo In her manner to
ward her l&vcr, nor to Arlino Ashton, her
ptctty, fascinating guest.
"I wonder how It will end?" they whisp
er sub rosa, among themselves. "Marian
is no proud, you know; ono tan never tell
how she will act whether she will discard
him olMiand, or whether she will go on
wuu mo marriage, pretending she lias
never seen anything amiss In his devotion
to Arllne."
Kato answered the question for them, as
perhaps, Marian could not havo answered
it herself.
She went into the conservatory one uyen
ing, after dressing for the opera, to select
soiiio llowcrs for her hair. There, almost
concealed by a .thicket of plants and
foliage, stood her lover and Arllne.
Marian suddenb drew back, her beauti
fill face, -while as marble, her slender,quccn-
like figure trembling In every nerve; for a
few of their low-spoken words had reached
her car words that could leave no doubt
of their tcrriblo meaning.
Only for ono Instant Marian blood there,
stunusd, bewildered; then, taking a st cp
forward, sho confronted them quietly, no
slzu of the grief or scorn in her heart betray
Ing Itself, save In tho Intense, dazzling fire
of her luminous gray eyes.
I havo no desire to bo an obstacle, In
tho way of your happiness, Arllne," sho
said quite calmly, answering the speaker
whom she had overheard. "And as for
you, Wilbur" turning slowly to him
"take this! You are free from this mo
incut to ask tho girl you Ioyo to be your
wife," and dropping her betrothal ring at
his feet, sho turned quietly to go.
"Marian!" stammered iniburC'revclliig,
trying In a guilty, confused way to detain
her.
But with ono gesture of her white hand
she waved him back.
"Words arc useless now.'isho sal4, with
a slow, cold smile. "I have heard tho
truth."
So the world know at last, how proud
Marian would end It, and Arllne's pretty,
bewitching faco was. no longer teen among
her guests.
Her engagement to Wilson Crevcllu
was. a nlno days' subject of gossip, and
then, for vcycral months, things went on
In the usual commonplace way.
They had gono pleasantly anough for
Wilbur, who was quite fond nnd proud of
his pretty, bluceycd fiancee. He and Mar
Ian seldom met, and when they did, her
quiet, Indifferent hearing lu his presence
convinced hi in more and more that she
could nnyrr have loved him.
"And my pretty Arlino Is lovo itself,"
ho thought, with a tender snillo. 'Toor
child, I think she would havo died If her
ioyo had gono unrequited."
Wilbur Creycllng had ranked among the
rich men of the city, but a day camo when,
by a swift etroko of misfortune, he lost It
nearly all, and with a palo faco and throb
bing heart, he carried the sad news to Ar
llne. How ho dreaded to tell her, though he
believed her sweet lovo and sympathy
would shlno forth all the nioro strongly in
his trouble.
"Wilbur, Wilburl" she cried, palo and
half-fainting, when she heard the story;
'you cannot mean It. Have you lost all?
Great Hcaycn I"
"All but you, Arlltic," ho murmured,
his dark eyes full of anxious yearning.
'Thank God, I have you and love loft,
darling."
But sho drew back, weak and shudder
ing.
"I-I don't know, Wilbur," sho faltered
out, turning her blue eyes away. "Incvcr
dreamed of this. You know I havo no
forUme of my own, llko Marian ''
"Marian," ho echoed, bitterly. "If you
desert me in my darkest hour simply tor
monoy's sake, you aro unworthy to speak
her name. Is It so. Arllne?"
"Of course I love you, -1,'ilbur," she
stammered, weakly; "I do Indeed, but
but then"
"Enough!" ho cried out bitterly. "I am
answeied."
Her turned ou his heel and left her, find
ing It hard to keep back tho bitter, stinging
words of scorn and contempt that camo
thronging to his Hps. This was tlio shal
low llttlo cheat who had sung to him of
deathless love" the mercenary little
wretch for whom ho had trifled with a
noble woman's heart I
With all his faults, Wilbur Crnyoliug had
plenty of grit and courago in ills nature,
and lie tried hard to bear up manfully beforo
the world. It was too severe a strain, how
over, and ho broko down under It, as might
hayo been oxpoctcd.
In the Illness that followed, it was
Marian's name that was forever on his lips.
And ono day he awoko to llnd her standing
by his side, fair and proud as oyer, but
with tho sweetness of a pitying angel In
her face.
"Marian!" ho murmured, wondcringly
'Do you can you caro a llttlcforme
yet?"
Almost tho first blush ho had ever seen
on those fair, creamy Ichccks, dyed them
deeply now;
"Hush!" sho commanded, gently, bend
ing down to lay some roses on his pillow,
'I heard you needed me, and I came, Wil
bur. That Is all."
Ho looked at tlio proud) sweet face long
and wistfully, his very soul In his dark
eyes.
I novcr understood yon, Marian," ho
said, at last. "I did not-'tlilnk you had a
tondcr, loving heart."
No," she answered, simply; "I never
could wear lay heart on my sleeve, as some
women do,"
But ho never again - misunderstood her
truth, her womanly pride, nor the depth
and Intensity ot her loyc.
And a few mouths later Arllne heard, in
bitterness of spirit, of their happy marriage;
and how, with her own fortune, Marian
had aided him lo regain much that he had
lost. But sho knew that what ho pi i zed
most was proud Jfarlan's true love, which,
through her, he hatl so nearly lc I,
