Advice of a Prominent Land Broker Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich: Gents: In February, 1889, I com menced using Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup and Strengthening Plasters for inflam matory rheumatism, having been troubled three years with this terrible disease. My joints were swolen so that I could hardly walk and I atteuded to my business with difficulty. I used three bottles and aj lied the plasters to my limbs and back. and I can say that I am now cared. I have not been troubled with rheumatism since discontinuing its use. My father-in-law, Mr. J. D. Skinner, of Manson, has al so leen Imnerttted by this medicine. We earnestly recommend it to our friends. Take my advice, give it a tnaL C. R. Nicholson, Manson, Iowa. Ask yur druggist for it Summer in Ontario in always delight ful, but th:it of 18S5 was especially so. The long days, with their hot iixmtidos. had ;i t ropicaJ air about them that sug cUh1 p;dm grovea, pomegranates and cinnamon. The nights were cool and re freshing, and tho radiance of wich sun set was eclipsed only by the sph-ndor of the following sunrise. Tho fctars were brighter, and tiie moon gave a clearer lilit than ever lief ore. The clouds, blown by freshening winds, took new and fantastic 8liaies. and all nature. smiling in her superb Ix-auty, whispered. Behold lue! ii was on ono or mese line summer days, in August, that tho good steamship Alexandria touched at Maswaasagua i unit on her way up from Montreal. As the Ixiat neared, a crowd of camjieis stood ufoii th! dock, all of whom dis played an air of happy indilTerence, ex cepling Mrs. Sjeord, who, leaning ujMn the arm of her son, gazed intently toward the pass 'ngers. Only ono disembarked a lady of jK'rhaps 40 years, dressed in French costume. Mrs. S-cord recog nized at onco her sister. Mine. La Londo, whom she had last seen as Alice de Beaumont twenty years before. Of course there were embraces and laughter and tears, and then more embraces, until linully the French widow was led away to a group of fivo tents, the summer home of the Secords. 'Jliuo, li Londe's story is a short one Tho first eighteen years of her life were spent with her parents in Ottawa. She was then sent to Montreal to study, and there mad.? her home with a married sis ter, who was ten years her senior. Two years later there came to visit at her sis ter's house an old friend of the family, Mr. George Carpenter, a man perhaps 50 years of age. Mr. Carw:nter had a small income, to which ho added by doing lit erary worn occasionally. lie was a bachelor, and had not a relative in the world excepting a half sister in Austra lia ami two cousins in San Francisco. lie was a talented man, witn a warm heart and genial manner that endeared him to all who knew hiin. lie loved every one in general, and gave this as a reason for never having loved any one in particular. But even Mr. George Car penter was susceptible to the charms of the light hearted Alice do Beaumont "the child of the morning," he alwaj-B called her, for she reminded hini of the glad sunrise that he so much loved. So the man of fifty actually became in love with the girl of twenty, and, O lament able thought I the girl of twenty became in love with the man of fifty. What w as to !e done? Mr. and Mrs. Secord talked the mutter over and very wisely decided to "let them love. So they loved Mr. carpenter was tne Happiest man in the world. His great heart throbbed with a joy to which it had been a stran ger for litty years, lie low loved every one more thanver. All the street Arabs in Montreal learned to know hiui. The poor sought him for his money and the rich for his mirth. "Spring and Autumn have gone for a stroll," Mrs. Secord used to say to her husband when he would inquire for the lovers. "Half a century, my darling," one day answered Mr. Carpenter as Alice wound her soft white arms around his neck and asked how long he had lived. "Am I too old?" he inquired; then added, laughingly, "What matter swift ly passing years if the heart remain young? My soul, in spite of these years, is filhnl with a joy fulness to which it was a stranger in what was called my youth. You are my youth, the glad, golden morning of (iuy life; while I have you I can fievcr be old." Of course Alice promised to marry the ui:s.n to whom she was all the world. Hut, strange to say, no one had the cour age to impart this bit of information to Mr. and Mrs. de Beaumont, who were living a life of cold conventionality in Oltawa. It was finally decided that Mr. Cjirjjenter himself should be the first to approach the subject. Hut love had lieen allowed to slip out of the life of Papa de Beaumont and Mamma de Beaumont, and they were shocked at the though' of their daughter's connection with who had neither youth, nor a i-. . name, nor a fortune. Alice must Km-. e Montreal at once. Then followed tears and entreaties innumerable. Mr. Neeord insisted that Alice should remain, in spite of the opjMKiition of her parents. It was a time of great mourning, for the parents refused to yield, and Alice left Montreal "bearing in her heart a life long sorrow." Three months later she sailed with her jKirents for France, where, nine years afterwards, she mar ried a fat man with a bald head, a big name and" a bank account. M. Alfred Eugene La Londe lived to see the fifth anniversary of his wedding day, then fell into his last sleep. Mme. La Londe remained in France until the summer of 1885, when she came to her 6ister in On tario. As soon as Mr. Carpenter fully realized his loss his grief was intense. -He went at once to Ottawa, and. with all the earn estness of a man pleading for his life. implored the parents of Alice to favor him. But all his pleading passed for nothing with the fashionable parents, and Mr. Carpenter returned to Montreal the most sorrowful man in the world. "The light in the east has gone out," he would sometimes say to his friends. "I thought it was morning, and behold I it is midnight." All the Standard Goods are 1 1ST STOCK !
