for Catarrh? Shoulda list of the ingredients of Pe- runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one cf them was ofun- doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis- eases, and had stood the test of many years’ experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS T= EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COM- BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat- ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowl- edge of the modern pharmacist; and last but notleast, brings to the home thevast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, intheuseofcatarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis- ease which is very prevalent.. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na= ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF, Dr. Hartman’s idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest. drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can besupplied direct- ly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. : No other household remedy so uni- eversally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics, A Pertinent Question. Senator Rayner of Maryland is in favor of adequate salaries for school teachers, and at a reception he told a story about a teachers‘ meeting in a district where the salaries were ex- tremely low. “A rich, portly banker opened the meeting with an address,” he said. “The banker concluded his remarks with an enthusiastic gesture and the words ‘Long live our school teachers!’ “What on?’ shouted a thin, pale, seedy woman in a black gown, slightly smeared with chalk marks.” Exposed. “Great joke on Brown.” “How’s that?” “He was going fishing, but broke his leg and couldn’t go.” “That’s no joke.” - but the fish: dealer. heard of the accident and sent out the string of fish Brown said he would call for.” Shake Into Your Shoes ‘Allen’s Foot-Ease.

And look here, too; I'm going to ask you to help me as you've never helped me before. I’m afraid, old fellow, I’ve often been a nuisance to you, and often rather rubbed in the fact that you owe me money and that you’ve had to do things for me. For- give me now, if you will. I’m going to call upcn you for active friendship “Oh,” Charliewood answered, “we won’t talk about friendship between you and me. I’ve done what I had to do, and there’s enough.” , Sir William still held him by th shoulder. You don’t really feel that, Charliewood?” he said, in a quiet voice; and as-he did so the magnetism of his personality began to flow and flood upon the weaker man and influ- ence him to kindliness. “Well, well,” he replied, “what is it now? I suppose we’ve been running round a vicious circle and we’ve come to the last lap?” “That’s just about it,’ Sir William answered. “Just let me say that this is the last service I shall ever ask from you. I'll give you back all the I. O. U.s and things, and I'll give you enoug’: money to put yourself abso- lutely right with the world, then we'll Bay good by.” Charliewood started. “That's awful- ly good of you,” he said. “I don’t think that ° want to say good by. But still, what is it?” “Rathbone,” Sir William answered, pronouncing the name with marked difficulty. “It’s all over, then?” Charliewood answered. “Yes.” ; “I thougLt it would be. I have told you all that has been going on, and I knew it would be.” “She has written to me this morn- ing,” Gouldesbrough said. “A kind let- ter, but a letter finishing it all.” Then the weaker, smaller man be- came as so often happens in life, the tempter, the instrument which moves the lever of a man’s career toward the dark and sinister s-le of the dial. Charliewood was touched and moved by the unex. ected kindness in his pat- ron’s voice. ¢ “Don’t say it’s finished,” he said; “nothing is finished for a man like you, with a man like me to help him! Of course it’s not finished. You have not always been all you might to me, Sir William, but I'll help you now. I'll do anything you want me todo. Buck up, old boy! You will pass the post first by a couple cf lengths yet.” How?” “Well, what were you going to ask me to do?” They looked each other in the face with glowing eyes, and a pale counte- nance and a horrible excitement shone out upon them both. At that moment the door opened very quietly and an extraordinary per- son came into the room. He was a short, fat, youthful-looking man, with a large, pink, and quite hair- less face. The face w-s extremely in- telligent noticeably so, but it was streaked and furrowed with dissipa- tion. It told the story, not of the man |who enjoyed the sensuous things of life in company and as part of a merry progress toward the grave, but it be- trayed the secret sot, the. cunning Vercavidt_coneae and at home. This man was Mr. Guest, Sir Will- jam’s faithful assistant in science, a@ man who had no initiative power, who could never invent a project or dis- cover a scientific fact, but a man who, when once put upon the lines he ought to go, could follow them as the most intelligent sleuth-hound in the scien- tific world. _ Wilson Guest was perhaps the great- est living physicist in Europe. He was of inestimable v: iue to his chief, and he was content to remain between the high, red brick walls of the old house in Regent’s Park, provided with all he needed for his own amusements, and instigated to further . triumphs |under the aegis of his master. “Well, what is it?” said this fat, |youthful, and rather horrible-looking person. % “We've come to grips of the great fact, Guest,” Sir William answered, still with h’s hand upon Charliewood’s shoulder. The pink creature laughed a hollow and merciless laugh. “I knew it would come to this, he said, “since you have added another interest to your scientific interests, Gouldesbrough. Why have you called me in to a consultation?” Goultdesbrough’s whole face chang- ed; it became malignant—the face of a devil. “I'm going to win,” he said. “I’ve had a knock-down blo--, but I’m going to get_up and win still! Mr. Rathbone must disappear. That can be easily arranged with the resources qt our command.” Guest gave a horrible chuckle. “And when we've got him?” he said. “He must disappear for always,” Gouldesbrough answered. Quite easy,” Guest replied. “Quite easy, William. But not until we’ve ‘done with Lim, shall he?” ‘Alive or Dead?’ The Strange Disappearance of Gerald Rathbone. By. GUY THORNE. “What do you mean?” “Why, isn’t it the last condition of our experiments that we should ‘have some one.a slave, a dead-man-to the world, to use as we shall think fit? Here’s your man. Do what you like to him afterward. Let’s make your rival the stepping-stone to your final success. Then the three men looked at each other in fear. / Charliewood and -Sir William Gouldesbrough were pale as linen, but the short, fat man was pink still, and laughed and chuckled nervously. CHAPTER VI. “Will You Walk Into My Parlor?” Mr. Eustace Charliewood’s chambers were in Jermyn street. Eut few of his many friends had ever seen the in- terior of them. Such entertaining as the man-about-town did—and he was always one of those who were enter- tained, rather than one of those who offer hospitality—was done at his club. ‘ The-man who looked after the place and valeted his master was, therefore, the more surprised when Charliewood had called him up one morning after breakfast. “Look here William,” Charliewood had said, “I’ve got a gentleman com- ing to dinner. We’ve some business to talk over, so'I sha’n’t dine him at the club. I suppose you can manage a lit- tle dinner here?” “Certainly, sir, if necessary,” the man answered. “Of course? you’re not in the habit of diring at home, and you’ve not got your own things. That’s if you mean a proper little dinner, sir.” i “I do, I do, William,” his master agreed, hurriedly. “But, there, that needn’t matter,” the man went on; “we can have every- thing in, if you like sir.” “That will be best,” Charliewood an- swered. “I leave everything to you, William. Except,” he added, as an af- terthought, “the menu. I want a small dinner, William, but quite good. Shall we say a little bisque for the soup? Then, perhaps, a small Normandy sole. Afterward a chicken cooked en casser- ole. As an entree, some white truf- fles stewed in sillery—you can get them in glass jars from Fortnum & Mason’s—and then a morsel of Brie and some coffee. That will do, I think.’ “And about the wine, sir?” said William, astonished at these unaccus- tomed preparations, and inwardly re- solving that Mr. Eustace Charliewood had discovered a very gaudy-plumaged pigeon to pluck. “Oh, about the wine! Well, I think I'll see to that myself. I'll have it sent up from the club. You've an ice: pail for the champagne, haven’t you, Will- iam?” “Yes, sir, we certainly have that.” “Very good. We'll say at eight, then. William bowed and withdrew. All that day the various members of this or that fast and exclusive club round about St. James’ street noticed that Eustace Charliewood was “out of form.” His conversation and his greetings were not so imperturbably cheerful and suave as usual. He took no interest in the absorbing question as to whether young Harry Rayke— the earl of Spayde’s son—would after all propose to Lithia Varallette, the well known musical comedy girl. The head waiter of the Baobab club noticed Mr. Charliewood was “off his feed,” and everybody with whom the man- about-town came in contact said that “Richard was by no means himself.” As the evening drew on,.a dark, foggy evening, which promised, as night came, to be darker and foggier still, - Charliewood’s agitation in. creased; though just now there was no one to see it. He walked down St. James’ street, past Marlborough house, and briskly promenaded the wide and splendid av- enue which now exists in front of Buckingham Palace. The fog made him cough, the raw air-was most un- pleasant, and it was no hour for ex- ercise. . But, despite the cold and mis- ery of it all, Charliewood continued his tramp backward and forward. When he returned to his chambers in Jermyn street, about 7 o’clock, he found that his clothes were wet with persp.ration, and only a hot bath be- fore dressirg for dinner, and a couple of bromide tabloids in a wineglassful of milk, sufficed to Lring him back to his ordinary condition. ‘When, however, he went into his lit- tle dining room, to all outward appear- ances he was the usual Eustace Char- liewood of the pavements and club rooms of the West end. The room was comfortable. <A bright fire glowed upon the hearth, shining upon the high-class sporting prints, the subdued wall paper, the comfortable padded chairs, and’ the shelves loaded with bachelor knick- knacks and sporting trophies of his youth. In one corner was a little round table*set for two, gleaming with glass and silver, and lit by electric lights “words, his better angel, who had held .“you’re the mmost tantalizing man in covered with crimson shades. It was all very warm and inviting. He looked round it with satisfaction for a moment. Then suddenly, as he stood on the hearthrug, he put his plump, white hand with the heavy seal ring upon it up to his throat. The apple moved up’ and down conclusively, and for a single moment the whole being of the man was filled with overmastering fear of the future and horror and loath- ing of himself. The spasm passed as quickly as it came. The drug he had taken assert- ed its grip upon the twitching nerves; the man whose whole life was discreet adventure, who was a soldier of social fortune, who daily faced perils, be- came once more himself. That is to say, to put. it in two possession of him for a moment, fled Sorrowfully away, while the especial spirit deputed to look after the other side of him happened to chance in his direction and, remembering he had often found a hospitable reception from Mr, Eustace Charliewood, looked in, found his old quarters duly swept and garnisl.ed, and settled down. Charliewood’s rooms were gn the ground floor. In a minute or two—it was about a quarter to eight—he heard some one upon the steps outside in Jermyn street, and heard the electric bell whirr dowh below in the kitchen. He rushed out into te hall. It gen- erally took William some time to mount from the lower regions, which were deep in the bowels of the earth, and no doubt Mr. Ckarliewood kindly desired to spare the butler the trouble of opening the door. So, at least, William thought as he climbed the kitchen stairs and came out into the hall to find Mr. Charlie- wood already helping his guest off with his coat and showing him into the dining room. William did not know that there were any special reasons in Mr. Char- liewood’s mind for not having his guest’s name announced and possibly remembered by the servant. “Well, my dear Rathbone, how aré, you?” Charliewood said, and no face could have been. kind2r or more in- viting and pleasant to see than the face of the host.. “Awfully good of you to come and take me like this, but I thought we should be more com- fortable here than at the club. There are‘one or two things I want to talk over. I'll do you as well as I can, but I can’t answer for anything. You must take _ ot luck.” Gerald Rathbone looked round the charming room and laughed — a full- blooded, happy laugh. : “I wish you could see my chambers in the Temple, he said. “But you fel- Jows who live up this end do your- selves so jolly well!” “T suppose one does overdo it,” Char- liewood answered, “in the way of little comforts and things. It’s a mistake, no doubt; but one gets used to what one was brought up to, and so one just goes on, dependent upon things that a sensible man could easily do without. Now, sit down and have a sherry and bitters; dinner will be, up in a minute. And try one of these cigarettes. It’s a bad plan to smoke before dinner, I know, aS a rule, but these little things just go with the sherry and bitters, and they are spe- cial. I get them over from Rio; they’re made of black Brazilian tobacco. As you see, they’re only half as long as your finger, and, instead of being wrapped in filthy, poisonous rice pa- per, they’re covered with maize-leaf.” Rathbone sank into the luxurious chair which his host pointed out to him, took the sherry in its heavily-cut glass, and lit one of the cigarettes. He strete ed out his feet toward the fire and enjoyed a moment of physical ease. The flames and the shaded electric lights shone upon his fine and happy face, twinkled upon the stud in his shirt-front, and showed | him for what he was at that moment— | a young gentleman intensely enjoying | everything that life had to give. | (To Be Continued.) The First Oil- Well. With the death of James P. Smith of Titusville, says the Philadelphia Record, there passed the last of the group of men who appear in the fa- mous Drake well picture, taken in the autumn of 1861 by John A. Mather, the noted oil region photographer. The| group in the picture included Col. Ea. win L. Drake, the man who drilled the well; William and James P. Smith, practical drillers, who assisted with the work; Peter Wilson, Titusville} merchant and steadfast friend of Col. Drake, and Albridge Locke. The five men are dead. This picture adorns the offices of hundreds of oi! operators and refiners, and is the only photo-; graph of the first oil well. The only person now living connected with the picture is John A. Mather, the photog, rapher. * Tantalizing Man. “J see by the paper,” said Mrs. Blinks at the breakfast table, “that a delegation of woman suffragists is coming to this country.” Mr. Blinks said nothing- “And they’re going to invade Wash- ington and make a speech to the pres- ident, and all.” Blinks was still silent. the lady, intense | . “I declare,” snapped existence.

In a crowd waiting for a car at Eleventh street and Grand avenue yesterday was an old negro, who was inclined to be discursive. Two high school boys believed they saw a chance to make fun of him, and made several remarks at which they them- selves laughed heartily. Finally one of them said: “You're a preacher, aren’t you, uncle?” “Yes, sah,” replied the negro, bringing forth a card. “Ah’m a under- taker, too. Ah don’t wish you no bad luck, but Ah’d lak teh have yo’ busi- ness.” PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Week to Northwestern Inventors.
