for a final snooze, when his night-bel.'
rang fvirionsly. The good doctor sprang
up and put his head out of the win

"I.i that Doctor Banks?"
The voice was a clear treble, and he
SouM distinguish a female form in the
street below.
"Yep," he answered ; "what do yon
want ?"
"Oh! doelor," said the voice t rem

I'll lie ri.bt down," called the doe
jir, nnd, hnrrieilly dressinc' himself
bo iVKe-in..l nnd opened the loor.
"t.i:r.e in," lie said ; "I will be with
yo-.i ii:in:e;lintv'y."
Ar. hU visitor utepped into tun fuL
blii.i of t!io hall li;ht, the doctor saw
l;mt the vras vry beautiful. IKr fea
tur..'s, although pinched and pale, were
c!enr-cut and classic Her voica wat
lo'.v nnd well modulated, and, in Nj'ite
nf !n r apparent poverty, she had th'
i:r of n woumn oi' refinement.
The doctor was soon ready, nnd to
pf th'-r tin y left the house. Slie led
him by many turns, Ihronph narron
ttrt'ttf, until tli3 upened a door into n
lon', dark passage between two dwell
ings nnd passed in. The doctor fol
lowed her without hesitation. TYoii)
te passage they emerged into a court
ij! three sides ol which lneeil BFncs
of dismal nnd dirty tenements. infc
:i of those hi.s conductress led him
r!;d up tome rickety ttairs. On the
f.j-.;iih landing he opened a door end
entered an apartment. In a moment
they stood beside a pallet on which lav
a woman. The invalid stirred, and
turning her wan face to them asked
feebly:
"ILivo you brought the doctor,
Alice V
"Yes, dearest," and turning to him
"Dr. Bank.", this is my sister, Miss
Ccrnold."
The change his name made on the
sick woman was electric. From utter
listlessness sha was aroused t the in
tensest excitement. A deep flush over
spread her face, aud her eyes sp:ir';ied
like coals as she raised herself upon her
iliow- aud gnzed into his face.
"It is not him," she muttered ; "yu
yes there is a likeness!"
fSh- paused, nnd abruptly addrossins,
the doctor said: "Hud you ever u
brother, Dr. Banks?"'
Her voice was clear and resonant, it
marked contrast to her previous m tit
terings. The doctor answered flov. iy
and deliberately :
"Yes, madam."
"And his name was Henry?"
"Yes."
"Where is he now?"
A dark shndo passed over his fiice.
'I do not know," he 6aid ; "I hnvt
not heard from him for three yenrs.
The lust word I had was a letter he
wrote me from California, tailing ol
his engagement to a Sun I'ratieiseo girl
a psragon of beauty and goodness."
"That inr:igon is before yo;i or,
rather, the w reck your faithless brother
has left of her."
The doctor caught his breath. "Mis
Carnold," ho said, "this is a terrible
surprise to me ! But, come now, your
sister shsll tell mo ull. Meanwhile,
you must not excite yourself, but must
obey mv directiousstrietlv, if vou wis!
to get well."
The doctor found that hex's w.is n.
organic trouble, but rather a general
exhaustion of nature's powers, arising
from worry and insufficient food. Jle
gave her a qnieting potion, and she'
fell into a gentle slumber. Ho then'
asked Miss Alice to ive him an ac
count of how the trouble with hi
brother had happened.
In answer she related that her sister
had met Henry Banks at a reception.
He was voting and handsome nnd hac
won her heart. Her father gave hit
consent to their marriage, end th
day was set. Then followed Mr. C'ar
nold's death, and the full from wealth
to poverty. He left nothing but hit
debts. But the climax of their trou
bles eamo when Jlenry Ban!."; disap
peared, leaving a letter for his li;i:u-e
ttatiug that he had decided to starl
anew elsewhere aXui Mie would ucvel
seo him again. The two women then
worked their way to Xew York, hop
ing to meet friends of their father who
once lived there, but only to find them
dead. They had then rented then
present apartments, and eked out a
scanty living by taking iu sewing.
I nder the severe strain Mary's health
gave way, nnd she was prostrated.
The younger sister, on her way for t
uhvsiciati, had been attracted by lr.
IlaTik's sign and had sought his r.M.
When she had finished her recital, the
dor-tor wnssilent for a time
'lia Carnold," lie said at last,
"theso 8urronnding3 are not congenial
to you. ?sow I have a proposition to
make which I beg yon will accept in
the same spirit that it is offered. The
second floor of my hou' - is vacant, and
I want you to occupy it. When your
sister is well enough to remove we will
take her there, and you shall be niori
?omfortable."
Alice's only answer we.s to burst into
tears. The tender-hearted doctor sat
down beside her and took her hand.
"Won't yon consider me your friend,
iliss Carnold," he said carnefctlr, "an
v;cejt (his offer?"
She raised her lovely tear-stained
face aud their eyes met.
"Ir. Banks," she exclaimed, "you"
kindness quite overpowers me. Ferhaps
I ought to doubt you and spurn your
proposal, but I am going to accept, for
it seems to me that Providence has sent
you to us."
' "I trust that I shall prove a trut
emissary of Providence," he answered.
Two weeks passed. The invalid,
thanks to her improved circumstances
and the doctor's care, was so much im
proved os to be able to sit tip. The
doctor spent his evenings with the
ladies when not professionally engaged,

"Mr. Carnold, Mary's father, the
day before he died, intrusted to mj

"Mr. Carnold died the next day, ana
in the confusion and sorrow I forgot
to mention the mortgage to the girls.
That evening, sitting in my room, 1
fell asleep. I woke to find myself se
curely bound and gagged. To mak
a long story short, I was carried to i

"After two years of this sort of life,

! siderable time.
Among the unnecessaries of such
jeeasions is '.h pnt-h'n-j nnd piceir.??
otit of clothes-liues, the work of rui
bing them with wet rags and the not
anusual occurrence of a bad break,
when the entire contents of the line
may have to be rinsed again, even if it
not necessary to give them a thorough
vashing to remove spots and stains.
Clothes-lines should be carefully
;aken down as soon as the clothes are
dry. In doing this do not drag them
on the ground or pull them over the
dusty walks or porches, for they are
liable to be damp and will catch any
particles of dirt that they come in con
tact with. This necessitates a thorough
cleaning when they must be used again,
or the risk of making spots on the
clothes. Tie the line up iu a close bale
and put it in a bag kept expressly for
"Jiis purpose.
Some people leave the lines out from
week to week, and, as a consequence,
have to clean them and take the
chances of having streaks and soils on
the clean clothes, or, worse than this,
find them parted in some weak spot
and the wash spattered and dragging
in the mud. The few minutes' work
uecessnry to take down and put away
all lines is time well sjient.- Xew York

Ho county official In East Tennessee IS

Bhea County, at Dayton, the home of Mr,
Wilson. Be enjoys the confidence and re
ipeet of all classes, and In the business com
munity his word is as good as his bond. Just
Bow Mr. Wilson Is receiving heartiest con
gratulations from his numerous friends be
sause of the res'oration to robust health ol
his estimable wife, who has for rears been a
helpless Invalid. Mrs. Wilson's high Stan 1-
Ing in society, and her many lovable traits
of character have won her a host of friends,
and her wonderful recovery has attracted
widespread atteation.
As tbe Press was the medium of bringing
to the Invalid lady's attention the remedy
that has effected her remarkable cure, a re
porter was sent to Dayton to interview Mrs.
Wilson, In order that the general public
might have the benefit of the sufferer's ex
perience and be made aware of tbe treatment
that wrought such a marvelous change in
her condition. The reporter was welcomed
at the Wilson home, and the enthusiastic
lady with becoming reluctance gave the his
tory of her affliction and the manner in
which she was rolieved :
"Yes," said Mrs. Wilson, "I was for D
years an invalid with one of the most dis
tressing afflictions woman can suffer. For 8
years I moped around, dragging myseli witii
difficulty and pain out of bml. Sly liitle
ones went untrained and were greatly m-c-leoted.
while I looked listlessly and he!i
lessly at the cheerless prospect bt fore mil
and them. I suffered t he most intense pains
In the small of my back, an i these seemed
even prealer in tbe region of the stomach,
extending down to the groins. I suffered
agony sleeping or awake. Despair Is no
word for the feeling caused by that dreadful
sensation of weakness and helplessness 1
constantly experienced.
"I was treated lor my trouble by several
local physicians, but they were able to giv
mo only temporal y relief by the nse of se.la
tiv and narcotics. 1 had almost given up
ull hope of ever securing permanent relict
when I saw an account in the Press of a cur
which Dr. Williams Pink Pills bad effected.
I decided to try them, as I knew the lady
who had been cure 1 and had great con II
dence in ber statement. I began to tak
the pills in October, 18'J3, and In two motulil
I was doing light housework and attenlin:i
to the children without any bad effects oi
weakness, such as I bad formerly experi
enced. Hitherto, I hail been unable to re
tain any food, but now my appetite gre4
stronger, and with it came back that ol.t,
healthy and hearty tone ol the stomach. Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills cured me, and I as.su rl
you thecuro has brought a great change U
our home. I can now rejoice in my hus
band's success, fori feel that I have soui
thing to live lor. Who has a better righ'
1 to levl this than a mother? Ono thing more.
1 1 have recommended these pills to others,
ana many or me women ot iiaytou tiavt
taken them with good results, and it is mj
greatest pleasure to recommend to everj
suffering woman a remedy that has done s
much for me."

For Baldness.
An English physician named Mo po
ther has been making researches into the
influence of certain kinds of food on
baldoess. Two of the forms of food, he
asserts, that nearly everyone takes every
day, beef and milk, have, by their chem
ical composition, the effect of annihi
lating the primordial elements of the
hair and withering the roots. Doctor
Mopotber thinks that different albumin
oid food and starchy substances, partic
larly dark colored oats, which contain
twenty-two per cent, of silica, have a
powerful effect in making the hair grow.
The races of men that have the finest
hair are usually those living on starchy

The new leather "membranoid," or
'boucle," is somewhat puzzling to those
who are not in the secret of its origin.
It is neither more nor less than tripe,
tanned by a new process and prepared
for use in about ten days. It is said to
be the lightest leather known and as pli
able as cotton cloth. It is made in tea
colors and can be used for pocket-books,
albums, millinery, dress trimmings and
slippers. Tho leather looks like crash

made herself nest in tha hollow

deposited her eggs in it, Mr. Hornbill
came and plastered up the opening

sufficient for him to insert his bill and
feed the female and nestlings. He
feeds them in a very affectionate man
