powers of mind and body
James Keouuu is a prominent liuuor
dealer at 5U Drunnau street, and it i'
ho who is now lauding thoso who hve
restored him from a bed of paiii to bis
former youthful activity. Mr. Koein:
had, to wuhiu a year ago, been blcsj
witk tho enjoyment of aloinst peril
health
It wus a year ago that Mr. Ktuan
first suffered tho hand of diseusi to
Uke hold upon him. At that tint he '
was stricken dowu by au aggrauted I
attack of rheumatism, which mUhI i
him of the use of his lower liuibmuit
of both his hau'ls. For fully six v-eks '
hu lay ou his couch, a helpless wum
of tho dread disease, and nil thetiuie
ho suffered intense uiiiu iu tho attcted i
portions of Ins body, lio coul not
move himself upon his bed, uii all
that ho ate hud to be fed to liui by
those iu attendance, lio had about
despaired of ever gaming releae from
the clutches of tho frightful isease,
when one morning his attcutiu was
drawu to au advertisement iu i morn
ing paper, of a remedy for huiimu
tism. Tho story of what stueeded
this casual glance at a uiediciu adver
tisement cau best bo told in lb words
of Mr. Keeuan himself, wh, ' when
asked for au explanation of Is seem
ingly miraculous cure, gavt tlie fol
lowing account:
"It seemed to mo that aftr all the
weeks of terrible suffering tlit 1 had
endured that there could uu possibly
be a relief. 1 had no faith patent
medicines, aud wheu I saw iia paper
tho advertisement of Williuis' Pink
Pills 1 was induced to try tern only
iu sheer desperation. 1 di not feel
any relief until I begau takig tho sec
ond box of tho pillf, but thci the paiu
began gradually to leave nif my appe
tite became better, aud 1 ould sleep
soundly throughout the nigt without
exporieuciug any of the joking pains
that had before kept me aw.ke. 1 con
tinued to take the pills uni'it was only
a short time nutil tho rheuantisiu had
entirely left my hands, ad 1 had so
far recovered tho use of in legs as to
be uble to walk about thoaouse with
out assistance. Iu aboii two weeks !
more 1 was entirely fren mm the dis- j
ease, but 1 took two uion boxes of the :
pills its a precaution agaOst a return
of the rheumatism. Font the time
that tho lust trace of tin disease left
me I hud uot felt tho lest sigu of its
return, and I cau truttfully say that 1
I now enjoy tho free usi of uiy limbs
as ever I did before thi; heuiuatism at
tacked me.
"I have takeu the ains to recom
mend Williams' Pink Pills to a num
ber of my friends wt uro suffering
from rheumatism. I hlnk I know ot
uo other remedy that will nfford such
quick and permanent ulief from rheu
matism as do Willi.us' Pink Pills,
and I only hiqio that Jany others may
bo brought to see anderl the high cura

P1 11 "ros the lust lie-t, and now tho
MSS. lay ready for the post among tin)
debris of printer's proofs, new novel
awaiting review, etc., with which tho
writing table was strewed.
One of tho In st known litterateur in
London aud a brilliant conversation
ist, his tongue could lie. as scathing as
his pen, mid it was Mid of him, with
regard to the latter weapon of warfare,
that in half a dozen polished sentences
he could do more toward damning a
btxik than tiny two of his compeers. A
bif, loosely made man was Mr. Kverdene,
with shrewd gray eyes and the pessim
ism of a modern. Studying his face tut
lounged by the window, his hands iu
ino pockets or ins smoking jacket, one
could sei that ho had n lively sense of
humor combined with his other charac
teristics mid understood tlie interest his
personality aroused.
I'resently u servant brought him a
visiting card on n mlver.
"Tho lady would ls obliged if you
wonhl grant her an interview, sir."
"Lady llilynrd, " muttered Kverdene,
reading the inscription. "I can't recall
tho iiaiua Hot her the woman! What
dies nlio want? However, ask her to
come rip, lilake. "
When sho entered, a fair, elegant
woman of perhaps .", in an irreproach
able! Parisian toilet, ho was still more
convinced that ho had not tho privilege
of lier acquaintance.
"Mr. Aubrey Kverdene?" shu queried
Mr. Everdeno bowed.
"Pray tiiko a nciit, madaino,"
"No," she said. "I ham oiimn to
qnurrel with you, and 1 dou't hit down i
iu tho houses of mv enemies!" j
"To quarrel with me!" His eyebrows
weut tin. The thouL'ht came to him that
his visitor was not in her right mind.
"Yes. Perhaps I had Is-tter explain I
mvself at ouco. I am tho author of;
'Fashion and Footlights,' " '
Mr. Everdeno, standing tierforee be-!
- . 1
cause pho would, pulled his mustache, i
while the fair stranger tapied her No.

and looked pitchforks mid dagp-rs.
"'Fashion and Ftmt lights, '" ho re
(lifted aloud. " 'Fashiou and Foot
lights. ' Ha!"

Hero it is. Reviewed it iu The Cen
turion, didn't I?"
"No," sho said, "yon hanged mid
quartered it!"
"I am sorry. May I ask how you
found ont that I was the culprit?"
"Oh, by accident It's a long story
and unimportant, sinco you don't deny
tho imputation. Now, Mr. Fvcrdcno, I
know it is very impcrtiucut of me, a
stronger, to come to your private ad
dress and worry yon. I am doing a very
unusual thing, I am afraid, and Mrs.
liruiidy would bo horrified. Uut 'fool
rush in,' yon kuow, and widows aro
privileged. You must have a little pa
tience with me bocauso" for tho first
timo hcrjips relaxed, and sho smiled a
smile that was sweetness itself "well,
just liccauso I'm a woman and you're a
gentleman. Acknowledge tho truth,
now, on your honor. Don't you think
you were uimecessurily harsh to my
poor little literary effort?"
"No," ho said bluntly; "I always
givo my truo opinion of things, uud I
consider your book had many fuults."
If she had been a man, ho would huvo
aid, "I thought it was bad, "with
the brusqueness of conviction and prob
ably declined to discuss tho matter, but
to a lady it was impossible to 1m rude.
Ho regarded her absurdly unconvention
al presence with a tolerant kindness.
"Of course, I admit that there aro
faults, but upon one or two points iu
your criticism I cannot agree with you.
I should very much like to discuss theui
v.itli you. May 1?"
"Certainly. " His month was twitch
ang under hi heavy mustache. "Uut
don't you think, pending tho verdict,
Hint yon had better sit down? You will
be fatigued If you'll permit mo to
wheel this armchair nearer tho flro for
yon so!"
Haviug carefully arranged it so that
tho should face the light, he seated him
self opposite her tho A. B. C. of di
plomacy, but she did uot oppear to no
tion it She wa drawing arabesqnes on
tho carjet with tho point of her ivory
bandied umbrella,
"I should very much liko to know,"
ho iid, "what you think of my com
ing here?"
"1 think you nre plucky yes, and
recklessly unconventional.
"Candid, at any rate! And I
like
that" Sho looked np. "Now for the
first indictment on the li-t, Mr. Ever
deno. You accuse me of improbability
( deny it" '
His manner bordered cn prooccupa-
lion. In truth, he was thinking what
wonderful laslu-s she had, and how 1e
Mining a flush of excitement could I si
to a clear, palo skin.
"You assert, " she coutinm-d warmly,
"that it is ridiculous to suppose that a
man and woman of the world could fall
in love at flr-t sight as I make my hero
and hiToine do, and that such prooced
iiign aro limited to Isiys and girl in
their t'ii and tho pages of penny fie

1 Aubrey Everdenn would have shown
j wider sympathies."

there might bo more x ntiment in tin

"Well, suppose wo let tint alide for

Her voice died away with a tremor.
Ho had only stated the truth, but that
fact did not prevent the spit-ehles Mr
l'verdciio fr iii f'-clitig as if he had com

Lady Hilyard applied nix square
inches of cambric and lace to tho corner
of au eyelid.
"If you'll only believe me, my dear
Lady Ililyard, when I tell you that I'm

A smile broku like April sunshine
over her face.

He was ridiculously grateful. Ho
heaved a sigh of relief and hesitated,

"Lady Ililyard, you know the Arab

I As n token of good will jicriiiit nut to

With tho Japanese table between
them, them chatted for awhile, and
then thcclockon the mantelpiece struck
(I. She rose, with a pretty gesture of
dismay, like a sivond Cinderella, "Do
you know, Mr. F.verdenc, that I have
been a whole hour wasting your valua
ble time?"
"I thought it had Is -en 10 minutes"
ho answered, "aud tho pleasantest time
of my life, "
"Very pretty!" she faid, blushing
faintly. "And, iu return for it, let mo
tell yon my address is ou my curd, and
that my 'day' is Thursday. Also I mo-t
thank you very beurtily for your kind

"Pleaso don't thnnk ma It is 1 who

"What?"
"That tho conduct of your hero aud

"You really mean that?"
"On my soul, 1 do. "
Tho most delicious softness wa in
hor voice:
"It makes me so proud and happy tc
think I have convinced you. "
Thero was a silence. She smoothed a
wrinklo in her suodo glove. Ho twisted
a button on bin coat Then sho aroused
herself, with a littlo laugh, und extended
her blind.
"Well, gnodby, Mr. Evcrdene, and
once more, tluitik you."
Ho pressed her fingers ever so lightly
