^ bfct s story of suffering that one word tells. It says: “I am all tired out. It seems to me I can hardly take another step. I haven’t a particle of ambition. I can’t do half the work I feel I must do. I am weak, nervous, depressed, discouraged. ” That’s Impure Blood rNou- you know what the trouble is, you certainly kaou the cure,—a perfect Sarsaparilla. "Sarsaparilla” is simply the name of the medicine, for in a perfect Sarsaparilla there arc a great many remedies. Some act by taking out the bad; others, by putting in the good.

Spring Body Cleaning Every spring you dean the house you live in, to get rid of the dust and dirt which collected in the winter.

If your bowels, your liver, . your kidneys are full of putrid filth, and you don’t dean them out in the spring, you’ll be in bad odor with yourself and everybody else all summer. DON'T USE A HOSE to dean your body inside, but sweet fragrant mild but positive and forceful CASCARETS, that work while you sleep, prepare all the filth collected in your body for removal, and drive it off softly, gently, but none the less su-eiy, saving your blood pure and nourishing, your stomach and bowels dean and bveiy, and your liver and kidneys healthy and active.

Here John Martin met him with an old-fashioned English welcome and Hendrick was ushered Into the sitting room, where sat Nancy and her lover. Nancy greeted him heartily, if some what shyly: *'I am glad to see you, Hendrick— let me introduce you to Mr. Harvey. Dick, this is our friend, Henry Hoop stad” “I am very glad to know you; we can't have too many friends these troublous times. You look like a fighting man. I hope you are with us?” ‘‘I cannot fight against Miss Martin's countrymen, and the blood in my veins is more English than Dutch. 1 am on my way now to volunteer." "Then we are well met; I am enroll ing a body of volunteers to act as scouts. I saddle in a few hours, so if you are willing we go together." “I ask nothing better. But what of Miss Martin—surely she must not stay here.” “I am glad you add your entreaties to mine 1 am trying to persuade Mr. Martin and Nancy to retire to the coast until danger is past." ‘'That's all right. Dick ” answered Mr. Martin. “1 "should like to persuade Nancy to go, but I am going to stick to the farm.” "You run great risk. Mr. Martin.” said Hendrick. "If you stay here you will be commanded to join the Boer army.” "I am an Englishman, and my farm is in Natal; that. I take it, is out of their jurisdiction-“ ' Possibly, but I hardly think they will draw so fine a line.' "Well, anyway. I stay here, and it won't be healthy for the commando that interferes with me." "Then, if yon are so determined. 1 must ask you to be equally determined in insisting upon Miss Nancy going to Durban. My married sister lives there, and she would be quite safe.' After much discussion it was der.d ed that Nancy should depart for Dur ban immediately, with Hendrick for an escort- Dick Harvey would accom pany them ns far as Mooi river, where he would have to leave them, and Hendrick wus to rejoin Dick as soon as Nancy was safe on the coast. Hen drick knew now that Nancy could nev er be to him more than a friend, and in that friendship he determined that no sacrifice should be too great for him. The three rode together until Dick had to leave them: then, with a tender and almost heart-reading farewell, he passed her into the care of Hendrick and departed. They reached Durban without mishap, and Hendrick, hav ing handed Nancy to the care of his sister, prepared to return. "I thank you. Hendrick, far your care of me." "I wish no thanks: to be of service to you is the aim and end of my life.' She looked at him curiously and seemed to penetrate his secret. **I »tti going to the war." he contin ued. slowly, fixing his gase upon the ground; “to fight for your countrymen and you. It may be that I shall not survive, and I should like you to think kindly of me- You are the only Eng lish woman I have been privileged to know with any degree of friendship, and the days have passed happily with me. A hope full of vanity was bom within me that perhaps the caprice of fate might turn your heart towards me in love. Forgive me for saying this. I am only a fooling man. but i I thought I would like you to know." “Poor Hendrick!" “I have seen the man you love, and my vanity is dead. Good-bye. I should like—may I—er—I %v»uld like to kiss your hand to seal my tow that hence forth my life is consecrated to serving you and yours to the death.” The tears rolled down her cheeks as she gave him her hand. The strong man kissed it passionately and de parted. HenaricK maae tus way Dart to dick Harvey, and was formally enrolled as a volunteer. News came soon after that the Boers had crossed the bor der and were invading Natal, and Cap tain Harvey began to have fears for the safety of John Martin. He con sulted Hendrick on the subject. “What do you think of it, Hoop stad?” “Bad. very bad. John Martin will have to join a commando, or be shot.** "So I fear, and I want you to start tonight and make your way to Cala don Farm. If you find John Martin there persuade him to come back with you; but if our worst fears are realiz ed. and he has disappeared, find out what has become of him." "I will start In an hour, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity.” •‘Good luck go with you.” In an hour Hendrick took the road for John Martin’s farm. Numerous parties of Boers were about, and ex treme caution was neeeshary. This meant slow progress, and it was not until the second evening that fie reach ed the homestead. Dismounting, he rapped on the door, but elicited no response, and it was soon evident that John Martlr was absent. Upon look ing round, Hendrick discovered the frigbiened face of a Kaffir boy. peep ing at him over a fence. "Halloa, Cabbage! Where is your master?” “Baas! him dun gom ’way.” “Where to?” “Baas Shiel ’im dun took ’im *way.” -Shiel?” “Sarten. ’im ride up. big many, took Baas Mart'll, tied um hands, an’ dun gorn *way.”, “Which way did they ride?” “Cabbage um follow Baas—Glencoe —then um come back here an’ wait fo’ Baas.” And then Hendrick realized that the worst had come to pass, and John Martin was a prisoner in the hands of Commander Shiel. “I will not return with such meagre news ” he said to himself. “I will push on toward Glencoe and learn more, even if I have to penetrate in their camp.” He accordingly made his way to wards Glencoe and found his progress more difficult every mile. Time after time he was stopped by bands of Boers, but always got away by saying that he was riding to Join Shiel’s com mando. As be had taken the precau tion to wear his own clothes, this ex planation was accepted as satisfactory. Nearing the heights of Glencoe, Hendrick thought It prudent to re main in hiding until evening. Teth ering his horse in a small wood, he concealed himself In some bushes and endeavored to get some sleep. He was awakened some hours later by the sound of voices, and peering from his place of concealment, he discerned a party of Boers on horseback about twelve yards away. "Do you think thev will attack to night?” "Either tonight or tomorrow morn ing. Yiiljoen brought word." "Well, he is a reliable scoundrel." "A good spy. Well, if the cursed Rooineks storm Glencoe they will find our guns manned by their own coun trymen.” A.'r. numatfu uj iuiustu ^ their hands tied behind their backs. Ha. ha. a good plan of Skier?, to trues those who refuse to fight and make them targets for their friends. I'm sorry for John Martin, though—he was a good friend.’* They moved away, and Hendrick realized from their conversation that Shiel had tied those who had refused to join his commando behind the Boer guns, so that there was every possi bility of their being killed should the English make an assault. Carefully picking his way he led his horse to within two miles of the Boer position. After making the animal se cure he proceeded on foot. He ad vanced at first without any attempt at concealment, answering when chal lenged that he was on his way to Shiel with news of the enemy. The audacity of this proceeding was justified by its success, and Hendrick found himself well inside the Boer position almost without question. On the ridge where the guns were posted some twenty men were lying. Hen drick walked among them unsuspect ed. They could not tell whether be had just joined the commando or had been with them for weeks. New ar rivals were pouring in daily. Passing along tne ridge Headrick came to the guns, and there with his hands tied behind him and secured to the gun carnage, lay John Martin. -Mr Martin:” The captive looked at him wearily. “I am Hendrick—set—make no noise—do not speak. Miss Nancy is safe ax Durban. The English storm this position tomorrow. I will cut your bonds, but i: is all I can do for you If you can escape you will find my horse in the brush, two miles along the road to the right. Should you see Nancy again, say I did my best to keep my promise.** He hastily severed the captive's bonds, and bidding Martin hold his hands as if still tied, he left him the knife and passed along the ridge. He proceeded down the mountain and was just congratulating himself on his lucky escape when he was confronted by a band of armed men. They challenged him. and he gave his usual reply that he was on his way to Commander Shiel. The band open ed out. and Hendrick was faced by a tall man on horseback. "I am Commander Shiel. Who are you and what do you want?*' For a moment Hendrick was silent, and before he could speak a light was flashed on his face. “I know him—it is Hendrick Hoop stad.- cried a voice. "Hoopstad. the mac who refused to obey the call of the government, aae enlisted as a volunteer with the Eng lish’ You see. we are well Informed, my brave spy. Bring him along, men we will show him the reward we re serve for traitors." Hendrick was seized by rough and willing hands and hurried to the Boer camp. Without any delay he was sen tenced to be shot at break of day. and as he w*is being taken from Shiel’s presence he heard a messenger an nounce the news that John Martin had made h!s escape and could not be traced. "Thank Godl’ he exclaimed aloud. "I do not die in vain." (Tc he continued.) SoTtK the Grwt OMW. The work of moving the great Egyptian obelisk from Alexandria to New York was managed by Commo dore H. H. Gorringe. U. S. N. The of ficer reached Alexandria October 16. 1679, and at once began work with 100 Arabs. The machinery for lower ing the monolith was then attached, and the block was laid in a horiaonta'. position. The obelisk was then re moved to the wharf and upon the steamer waiting for it. by means of cannon balls rolling in metal grooves. The steamer bearing this freight left Alexandria. June 12. 1660. and arrived at Staten Island July 20. The iron tracks and cannon balls were adjusted after some delay and on these the monolith was unloaded September 16. Next the rise and fall of the Ude was used to float it up the North river, and land it at the foot of Ninety-sixth street, whence it was moved by steam power on tracks with rollers.
