Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky
a stroke of paralysis came to Mr. Frank
T. Ware , the well known > oston auctioneer -
tioneer and appraiser , at 25 Washington -
ton street. He went to bed one night
about six years ago seemingly in robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the deadening of the
nerves , The Interviewer sought out Mr.
Ware to get the facts. He gave the in-
) particulars In his own way :
a "The first shock came very suddenly
while I was asleep , taut it v ps not aat-
Ing 1n Its effects , and in a few - weeks I
w as able to be about. A few months
after , when 'exhausted by work and
drenched with rain I went home in a
very nervous state. The result was a
% second and more severe shock , after
Which my left arm and leg were practically -
tically helpless.
My grandfather , who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War , and lost an
arm In the struggle for American independence -
pendence , died finally of paralysis. My
father also died of paralysis , although
it was complicated with other troubles ,
and so I had some knowledge of the fatal -
tal character of the disease which is hereditary -
reditary in our family. After the second -
end shock I took warning , for , in all
probability , a third would carry me off.
"Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and I tried all the
remedies that 'seemed likely to do any
good , electricity , massageand specialists -
ists , but to no effect.
"The only thing I found that helped
me was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills , and I
verily believe that if It hadn't been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago ,
"Yes , I still have a slight reminder of
the last attacic six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags a little , as the paralysis
had the effect of deadening the nerves.
But I can still walk a good distance ,
talk as easily as ever , and my general
health is splendid. I am really over seventy -
enty years old , although I am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
"The Pink Pills keep my blood In good
condition , and I believe that is why I
am so well.
Mr. Ware has every appearance of a
perfectly healthy man , and arrives at
his o111ce promptly at eight o'clock every -
ery morning , although he has reached
an age when many men retire from
active life. He says that In his
opinion both his father and grandfather
iI i I could have been saved if Pink Pills had
been obtainable at that time.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They may
be had of all druggists or direct by mall
from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. ,
Schenectady , N. Y. , at 50 gents per box ,
or six boxes for $2.50.
Wanted a New Trial.
A humerous scene was enacted in the
superior court room at Jackson , Ga. , recently -
cently ( according to the Atlanta Constitution -
stitution ) . A negro had been charged
with burglarizing a store. Colonel
Watkins defended him , and was about
to open the case with a well prepared
oration of his innocence , when the negro -
gro quietly informed the colonel that
he desired topleadguilty. JudgeBeclc
accordingly read the law in the case
and sentenced the negro for ten years.
Dumbfounded at this long sentence ,
the negro rolled his eyes round and
beckoned Colonel Watkins to come forward -
ward , and when the lawyer reached his
side , the negro gently whispered : "Say.
Mr. Wadkins , kain't yer'peal fer anew
trial ? " ,

CHAPTER I. ' 'l -
T WAS A BRIGHT
frosty night toward
the middle of
March. The moon
had risen an hour
ago , and hung like
a round mirror of
burnished silver
close above the
glittering stream
of Thames , as he
swept broadening
down to Westminster -
minster Bridge. The Abbey towers rose
sharply into the clear air , and caught
the moonlight full upon their heads , but
beneath them , on the farther side , lay
a wide region of silent and mysterious
shadow. In the shadow paced the figure
of a man. By the slow and monotonous
regularity of his footfalls as he passed
backward and forward you might have
taken him for a sentinel on guard. Butte
to a closer look , the long , high-collared
coat , the quaint and ample outline of
his hat , and a certain balance in his
step betrayed the seafaring man , and
gave a hint of his rank. His figure and
the easy swing of his movements proclaim -
claim him strong , but the obscurity concealed -
cealed all other characteristics.
Up and down , up and down , he paced ;
always the same measured step , always -
ways the same distance to a yard. Nothing -
ing about him spoke of impatience , and
yet he was evidently expecting some
one or something ; for each time that
his beat ended at the angle of the northern -
ern tower he stopped , and looked first
to the right across the deserted square
up to the entrance of Whitehall , and
then to the left , where , on the edge of
St James Park , the lights of Glamor-
gan House shone through a few gaunt
and leafless trees.
For this was in 1821 , and in 1821 Gla-
morgan House was still standing : And
tonight it was especially in evidence ,
for the open gates and the unwonted
illumination of the garden court showed
plainly that some festivity was in preparation -
aration within.
Minute after minute passed , till suddenly -
denly from overhead came the deep
sound of the clock striking the half
hour. At the same instant a carriage
rolled into the square. The watcher had
just turned his back , and was retreating -
ing for the fiftieth time toward the
doorway of the Abbey , -when the vibration -
tion of the chimes ceased , and the sound
of the approaching hoofs and wheels
fell upon his ear. In a moment he was
back at the corner of the building ,
where he stood motionless , with his
head thrown forward like a dog straining -
ing in the leash.
The carriage passed close before him ,
wheeled off to the right , and disappeared -
peared into the court of Glamorgan
House. He made a quick step forward
as if to follow , but checked himself ,
and stood for a moment irresolute.
While he was hesitating , a party of
ladies muffled in opera cloaks and
shawls , and attended by several gentlemen -
men , crossed the road from the entrance -
trance of Dean's Yard , and took the
same direction as the carriage. The fig-
ura in the shadow hesitated no longer ,
but followed in .their wake -with long ,
resolute strides. He came up with long ,
as they reached the portico , and passed
into the cloak room with the gentlemen
of the party. There coat and hat were
laid aside , and he stood revealed as an
officer of the king's navy , wearing a
captain's epaulettes upon a very stalwart -
wart pair of shoulders.
As he entered' Lord Glamorgan-a
tall , old man with bushy .eyebrows and
a jovial red face-stepped in front and
shook him warmly by the hand. Then
putting a big hand -upon his shoulder
with a fatherly air , he wheeled him forward -
ward , and himself turned to face his
wife. "lfy dear , " he said , with a half
bow , "I present to you Capt. Richard
Estcourt of his majesty's ship -
Well , well ! Dick , which shall it be , eh ? "
Ills lordship had been a lord of the
admiralty in the last ministry , and
though now for some time out of office ,
he retained a perhaps exaggerated idea
of his Sown influence in naval affairs.
Lady Glamorgan received the young
man with all the graciousness for which
she was deservedjy popular. "Capt.
Estcourt , " she said , "is slower to follow -
low an advantage on shore than at sea ;
his reputation had been here long before -
fore l ni. "
Estcourt flushed. "I have been four
years on the Indian stations , " he said ,
and three before that in America. "
Since he had been almost the first in
the room , it seemed impossible that he
Should miss the person for whom he
ors waiting ; but when the stream of
incomers had apparently ceased , and
Lady Glamorgan found time to leave
the door and look at the dancing , her
eye fell on him at once , still on guard
in his solitary corner. She came toward
him immediately , bent on the hostess'
congenial duty of introduction.
"Capt. Estcourt ; ' she said , "you are
positively not dancing ! A sailor too ,
and at a sea lord's ball ! "
"Pray do not trouble about me , Lady
Glamorgan , " he replied ; "I am in no
hurry to begin. "
"No , no ! " she said , ° I must find you
some pretty craft at once ; I have good
patronage to bestow just now , and you
may choose between a strong ally era
a rich convoy , both making their first
voyage. "
His grave eyes lit up with a smile in
answer to her playful tone. "New
ships , he said , are never lucky ; I'd
rather have one taken from the en-
emy. "
There was an undertone of unexpressed -
pressed meaning in the words ; she
t
YHENnV JV WBOL T.
caught it , and looked at him with kindly -
ly interest.
"If you are waiting for some one ,
she said , "of course I will not trouble
you ; good fortune to the brave ! " and
she left him glowing with mingled confusion -
fusion and gratitude. She was far too
great a lady to be curious , but all good
women of her age are very naturally
interested in a young romance ; and it
is not _ astonishing that she fyund time
now and again to glance in Estcourt's
direction.
For a long while he did not change
his position , and she began to fear that
he was doomed to disappointment. But
at last there was a stir near the door ,
and she hurried forward to receive the
new guests.
An elderly dowager in green satin ,
and a gouty old nobleman in a star and
spectacles hobbled in and paid a brace
of homely compliments. As they passed
on , Lady Glamorgan glanced back
over her shoulder , and saw to her surprise -
prise that Estcourt was coming forward -
ward through the crowd with a look
of relief upon his face.
"The Milbricks ? " she asked herself.
"What can the man be thinking of ? "
But as he drew nearer she saw that
his eyes ignored this absurd old couple ,
and were fixed intently upon some one
beyond. She turned to the door once
more , just in time to welcome a very
different pair. A gentleman with iron-
gray hair and mustaches , wearing a
red ribbon across his plain evening
dress , was piloting a lady through the
throng that blocked the entrance , with
a courtesy and adroitness that conspicuously -
spicuously distinguished him from all
around.
As for the lady , whoever looked upon
her turned to look again. She was fully
as tall as her companion , but scarcely
more than half his age ; her dark-blue
eyes flashed fearlessly upon all they
met ; her lips were red with life and
curved with the pride and laughter of
youth ; the slight flush of her marvelous
complexion and the spring of her step
roused the beholder's pulse In sympathy
with her splendid vitality. Her dress
was of white and gold , scarcely less
brilliant than herself ; round her neck
and on her brow were diamonds , and
she wore them lightly , like a queen.
Ah ! " murmured the countess to , herself -
self , as she came forward , "It is Madame
de Montaut ; a prize taken from the
enemy ! I understand , but it is a bold
game for so quiet a man. "
She shook hands with her guests and
retreated a little to watch their meeting -
ing with this audacious young captain.
It was evident at once that he was already -
ready in favor with Col. de Montaut at
any rate ; the lady too , after a few mo-
ments' talk between the three , accepted
Estcourt's arm and continued her progress -
gress down the room.
A quadrille was just ending ; in another -
other moment the dancers would be dispersing -
persing , two and two , in all directions
to the seats and more secluded corners.
Estcourt led his partner across to the
farther door ; there she stopped him and
turned to look at the dance. Her eyes
sparkled , and her foot began to beat
time upon the floor.
"Splendid ! " she cried ; "I long to be
one of them myself ! "
His brow contracted " '
slightly. "Don't
you think , he suggested , a little timidly - ,
ly , "that we had better choose our seats
before the.rush comes ? "
"Oh , no , thank you , " she replied ,
laughing. "I shall not need a seat for
a long time yet ; we have only just ar-
rived. But perhaps you have been here
longer and are tired of dancing already -
ready ? "
"I have been here an hour or more , "
he replied , "but I have not been danc-
ing. "
"And pray , if I may ask , for what
other purpose did you come so early ? "
This directness confused him. "I-I
got here too soon , " he said , "and had
to wait outside by the abbey. "
"Where , of course , you could not
dance ? " she interrupted , mischievously.
"And even then I was almost the
first here , " he continued ; "and-and"
"And so you resolved to dance only
with the latest comer , by way , I suppose -
pose , of striking the balance right ? "
He pulled himself together , and made
an effort to play hIs part in the game.
Balance or not , he said , earnestly ,
I resolved to dance only with the latest -
est corner , if she should be Madame de
Montaut. "
"And so you shall , " she answered
merrily , as the dancers broke off from
their first figure and made for the door
in 1)airs ; "that is , as soon as these poor
things have rested ; in the meantime let
us walk in the empty room till they
come back. "
She took his arm once more , and her
touch seemed to send a tremor through
him from head to foot ; they stepped
forward into the great ballroom , hung
with mirrors and gaily colored flags ,
and brilliant with a thousand lights
that threw a dazzling sheen upon the
broad expanse of polished floor. She
talked with animation , and he answered
almost mechanically ; tlne intoxication
of pride mounted to his head and
numbed his senses as he made his triumphal -
umphal progress before the eyes of the
elder ladies on the dais , the long line
of dancers sitting out against the walls ,
and the herd of solitary men standing ,
each with folded arms , at the bottom
of the room. Their whispers reached
him with faint incense , and he scarcely
knew himself for a mortal like the rest.
But now the band struck up again ;
the crowd returned , and he found himself -
self floating with his radiant partner
through the upper heaven of perfect
rhythmic motion. Suddenly , as it
seemed , the music stopped ; he mastered
the swimming sensation in his brain
and turned to look at her. Her eyes
beamed back upon his with frank sym-
pathy.
"Glorious ! " she exclaimed. "What a
pity it must end so soon ! "
"So soon ? " he stammered , in a sudden -
den panic ; "so soon ? "
"We are leaving early to-night. "
"But it fa only just 11 "
"Then we have but half an hour
more , "
,
.4f
They : oad left 'the ballroom and were.
mounting the stairs in advance of the
throng. At the top a tiny boudoir offered -
fered two chairs , and no more.
"Shall we hear the music so far
away ? " she asked as they entered it.
He was pale and evidently ill at ease ;
he grasped at her question as at an
unhoped-for opportunity.
"I shall hear your voice , " he said ,
nervously , "and that is all the music I
dg ire. "
'fiat ! " she answered , laughing ,
"with my strong French accent , as your
people choose to call it ? "
She sat down in the higher and
straighter of the two chairs , and
opened her fan. Only a low lounging
seat was left for him , and nothing
could have been more uncomfortable
under the circumstances. He fixed
himself upon the extreme edge and was
about to speak , when she broke in before -
fore hint.
"You don't look as much at Test as
you deserve to be after that famous
dance. "
He was beginning an answer , destined -
tined no doubt to end sentimentally ,
when she again forstalled him.
"You are not accustomed to the luxury -
ury of arm chairs at sea ? "
He saw at she cad not mean to
,
git 'e him an opening , and tried determinedly -
terminedly to make one for himself.
"Forgive me , " he 'said , disregarding
her question , "but I have something to
say to you. "
"And I to you , " she answered readily.
"I have found the pearl you were good
enough to hunt for the other day.
Where do you suppose it was ? "
"Madame de Montaut , " he said , with
desperate irrelevancy , "I have admired
you ever since I first saw you. "
"You can hardly expect a woman to
go quite so far in return , " she replied ,
with an affectation of cordial simpll-
city ; "but I may say truly that there
is no one whose step I prefer to yours.
Come , the next dance must be beginning -
ning , and I am eager not to lose a
note of it. " And she rose lightly and
shut her fan.
He too stood up , but did not move
toward the door.
"I am sorry , " he said ; "but what I
have to offer you is more than a dance
-if it be not much less. "
Her quick ear caught the sincerity
of his tone and her look changed. "You
are right , " she said , with a serious
grace ; "I will hear you. " And she sank
with a soft rustle into the low chair ,
which she filled with an air of easy roy-
alty.
alty.He
He remained standing ; his hands , as
they grasped the back of the other
chair , were tense with nervous energy ,
but his throat was dry and his brain
confused ; for his life he could not break
from this fatal dumbness and express
himself.
A gleam of nut unkindly merriment
shone in her eyes as she came to the
rescue.
"Capt. Estcourt , " she said , "you are
a man whose words mean , at the least ,
all they say ; since , then , you speak of
admiration , I understand you to offer
me-love. "
"Love ? Devotion ! " he exclaimed ,
with ] risky fervor , but stopped again
and began to stammer.
"And I suspect , " she continued , "from
your embarrassment , that you have had
thoughts of asking me to marry you. "
"Oh ! it is too great a think , I know , "
he broke in earnestly ; "it is out of all
reason ; but I do not ask it , I entreat
it of you. "
She raised herself a little and looked
him gravely in the face.
( To BE CONTINCED. )
THE ARCTIC MUSK-OX.
One Big Animal Whichr Is Not Likely
to Become Extinct.
But there is one large bovine animal
on our continent which is not destined
to be snuffed out of existence like the
unfortunate bison , and that is the
musk-ox. He is under the protection
of the forest king , whose game pastures
are seldom penetrated by white poach-
ers. On the map of Arctic America
you can put your finger down almost
anywhere , so that it be on land north
of the Great Slave Lake and east of the
Mackenzie river , and say , "There lives
the musk-ox , " without fear of successful -
ful contradiction. Just beyond the limit
of trees and bushes , even the smallest
and scantiest , on the silent , desolate ,
and awful barren grounds northeast of
Great Slave Lake , at 6.4 degrees north
latitude , the musk-ox draws the line
marking his farthest south. A man who
can endure cold like an I skimo , travel
like a caribou , live for wt'eks on frozen
caribou meat , starve as cheerfully as
a Yellow-Knife Indian , and endure the
companionship of vermin-covered natives -
tives , can reach the southern borderland -
land of the musk-ox , and possibly get
back alive with two or three skins. Mr.
Warburton Pike , Englishman , can do
and did all these things no longer ago
than 1890 ; and his book on "The Barren
Grounds of Northern Canada" is a most
interesting and valuable contribution
to our knowledge of that very desolate
country. The musk-ox is perhaps the
rarest , and to white men the most difficult -
ficult to secure of all our land quadru-
peds. Robes are by no means uncommon -
mon , and often sell for as little as $15
each ; but of mounted skins there are in
our country exactly seven. Three of
these constitute a group in the National
Museum ; two are in the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York ; and the museums of Philadelphia -
phia and Cambridge have one each.
Although during their long sojourns in
high latitudes Gen. Greely and the
members of his expedition party killed
many musk-oxen , you will notice that
they were unable to bring back even
so much as a single horn.
R'oman's Affection.
I have often had occasion to remark
the fortitude with which women sustain -
tain the most overwhelming reverses of
fortune. Those disasters which break
down the spirit of a man , and prostrate
him in the dust , seem to call forth all
the energies of the softer sex , and give
such intrepidity and elevation to their
character , that at times It approaches
to sublimity. Nothing can be more
touching than to behold a soft and t2n-
der female , who had been all weakness
and dependence , and alive to every
trivial roughness while treading the
prosperous paths of life , suddenly rising
in mental force to be the comforter
and supporter of her husband under
misfortune , and abiding with unshrinking -
ing firmness the bitterest blast of ad-
versity.
Everything commenced upon the first
day of the moon is supposed to turn outs

Fruitless Mleslonary Efforts.
A great deal of missionary effort has
been expended upon the Chinese in
California , and especially in San Francisco -

discover any.real conversions of ter forts
years of labor. In the way of doing
actual good for the wretched people of
our slums $100 will accomplish more
than $10,000 spent in trying to change
the Chinese in their Flowery Kingdom
into followers of Christ and heretics to
the doctrines of Confucious. Taking
everything into consideration , it is a
fair question whether there is not a
great waste of Christian effort as well
as of money in these attempts to convent -
vent Chinese who won't be converted
and whether it would not be more prac-
4ieal as well as more Christian to concentrate -
centrate some of this effort and money
upon the heathen at our very doors
who know neither Christ nor Confucius.

QMEN'S FACES
V I'like flowers , fade
and wither with time ;
the bloom of the rose
is only known to the
i : f f healthy woman's
9 cheeks. The nervous -
' ! ous strain caused by
II . e ailments and
r - pains peculiar to the
i ! sex , and the labor
and worry of rearing
a family , can often
be traced by the lines in the woman's face.
Dull eyes , the sallow or wrinkled face and
those "feelings of weakness" have their
rise in the derangements and irregularities
peculiar to women. The functional derangements -
rangements , painful disorders , and chronic
weaknesses of women , can be cured with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the
young girl just entering womanhood , for
the mother and those about to become
mothers , and later in the change of life , "
the "Prescription" is just what they need ;
it aids nature in preparing the system for
these events. Its a medicine prescribed
for thirty years , by Dr. R. V. Pierce , chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute , at Buffalo , N. Y.
Whore the Arterest Lies.
I am an old woman and must have my
say ; and I tell you that when you all
come into the fullest intelligence you
will find that the three really interesting -
ing things of life are that human beings
are born , marry and die ; that we grow i
up in families , have friends , lovers ,
husbands , children ; that the real fillip
of existence , the stimulating charm ,
the ever renewed cordial comes from
these simple elementary facts ; that they
occasion time talk , the wit , the fun , the t ;
absurdities , the follies , the heartaches , v
which make life worth living. -

One Spoon Enough.
A Boston man traveling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a 1
small town where there was but one ;
hotel , at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate.
When the colored waiter brought his
dinner the Boston man found that he
was to have roast beef , stewed tomatoes -
toes , corn , peas , potatoes and coffee ,
the vegetablesserved in the usual stone
china canoes. Presently he said to the f
waiter : "Dick , pass the spoons. " ' 1'he
waiter rolled hiscyes ingenuinealnaze- I

with the spoons ? There's yo' spoon in
yo' corn. "
