Tuere are but few in the Saginaw Valley
nut who nave known personally or made the
acquaintance indirectly of W. H. Dawson,
618 Union Avenue, Saginaw, Mich., West
Side. It is here that the hand of sickness
has fallen heavily and caused a man to be
come widely known and sxtremely pitied.
It is the hand of fate that often nips in the
bud that which nature has started with the
rreatest predictions for the future. Until
three- years ago W. H Dawson has known,
imi imie ui bivkucw miu pain mu ine issi
few yean have brought with them untold
suffering. With many doctors taxing their
brains for something that might benefit, all
remedies known to the scientific medicine
maiiweraappliedandwithoutavail. The pa
tient meanwhile faded and became worse
but still lingered to fulfill a wonderful mis
sion which will be the cause of less suffering
among his fellow creatures. It was that un
seen hand directing all things who permitted
this one man to live in misery so that the
worla might become enlightened.
To hear the pitiful story of one who has
suffered who could not move a muscle for
one whole vear and who is now convalescent
through the aid of a wonderful medium
might lead one to believe that miracles are
nerformeil in this dav and aire. Thev are.
but not as in times of old. This time H is
through toe hand of man that life is
restored.
" Until the fall of '92" said Mr. Dawson.
to a reporter, " I was as hearty and as full of
me turn vigw as any yuuu uian couiu nope
to be, in fact sickness was then unknown to
me. About this time I was taken sick with
la grippe and after having two relapses my
pine became affected. This trouble grew
worse rapidly and in March of '93 I was
completely paralyzed from my waist down.
Having taken everything my doctors could
prescribe without any effects, I decided to go
to the Indiana State Institute at Indianapo
lis hoping to receive at least some benefit
from their specialists. I was there for a
nenod of ten months dnnn? which time
was taken sick with scarlet fever which left
me in a worse condition than ever before.

The most annoying period of ngr existence
was lived after my return to Saginaw. 1
sometimes prayed that my worthless life

be ended and that the care 1 was to others
might be brought to a close. I did not then
dream that Uod had yet a mission for mc to
fulhll. That work which 1 can now put all
my soul into with which my being is thrill
ing, is proclaiming to sick and suffering hu
manity the wonders of Dr. Williams' Piuk
Pills. They have given me new life. 4,
" It was in April of that a friend told
me of the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
asked me to try them. I hud no faith in
anything, in fact my life was now burden
some and I hated to take anything that
might chance to prolong it. I was at length
persuaded and the pills were obtained.
When I began taking them I was pale,
weak, helpless and almost without life, as
before stated, was completely paralysed from
my waist down, my limbs were simply bones
and skin with do life or feeling in them and
had been so for one year. Before the first
box was used I could move my toes a little
and could begin to feel new life all through
me. This was encouraging and I continued
to use these marvelous pellets.
"In two months time I could more my

another month had seen me swallow this (
medicine, to which I owe my life, I was able
to get out of bed alone, it has been just
about one year since I learned of Dr. Wil

have made such marked improvement that I
gladly proclaim what they have done for me
to all the world and ask you fellow sutlerers
to try them and receive new life. Jlvlife,
myall, I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"I am now comparatively fleshy with
good color and high spirits, and ever)1 day

throught the continued use of Dr. Williama'
Pink Pills." W.H. DAWSON.

The foregoing is but one of many wonder
ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills forPale People. Diseases
which heretofore have been supposed to be
incurable, such as locomotor ataxia and pa
ralysis succumb to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most trifling ailments. In
many cases the reported cures have been
investigated by the leading newspapers and
verified in every possible manner uml in no
case has the least semblance of fraud been
discovered. Their fame has spread to the
far ends of civilization and there is hardly a
drug store in this country or abrotd where
they cannot be found.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new lite and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, -ft. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgias-rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, the after effect of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and willow
complexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Piuk Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt
of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.5to they are never sold in bulk or by the
100) by addressing Dr. Williama' Mtuicina

It was past midnight, when, without
undrawing, he threw himself upon his
bed in the little convent-like cell to
inatah a few momenta of sleep. Its
spotless, peaceful walls and draperies
affected him strangely as if he had
brought into its immaculate serenity
the sanguine strain of war. Be was
awakened suddenly from a deep slum
ber by an infinite tense of alarm.
Hit flrat thought was that he had been
summoned to repel an attack. He tat
up and listened. Everything was silent
except the measured tread of the sentry
onthegravelwalkbelow. But. the door
was open. He sprang to his feet and
slipped into the gallery. In time to tee
the tall figure of a woman gilding before
the last moonlit window at its furthest
end. He could not tee her face, but
the characteristic turban? tl head of the
negro race was plainly visible. s , .
He did not care to follow her, oreven
alarm the guard. It it were the spy or
one of her emissaries, she was powerless
now to do any harm, and nnder hit lute
orders and the rigorous vigilance of his
sentinels the could not leaye the lines
or indeed the house. She probably
knew this as well as he did; it was, there
fore, no doubt, only an accidental in
trusion of one of the tenant. He re
entered the room and stood for a few
momenta by the window looking over
the moonlit ridge. ' The sounds of dis
tant cannon had long since ceased.
Wide awake and refreshed by the keen
morning air, which alone of all cre
ated things seemed to have shaken the
burden of the dreadful yesterday trom
its dewy wings, he turned away and
lit a candle on the table. As he was
rebuckling his sword belt he taw
piece of paper lying at the foot of the
bed from whicb he had just risen. Tak
ing it to the candle he read in a rough
ly scrawled hand:
"You are asleep when you should be
on the march. You have no time to lose.
Before .daybreak the supports of the
column you have been foolishly resist
ing will be upon you. From one who
would save you, but hates your cause."
For a moment he was transfixed. The
handwriting waa unknown, andevident
ly disguised. It was not the purport of
the message that alarmed him, but the
terrible suspicion that flashed upon him
that it came from Miss Faulkner! 8he
had failed in her attempt to past
through the enemy's lines or she had
never tried to! She had deceived him,
or the had thought better of her chiv
alrous 'impulse aud now tried to miti
gate her second treachery by this sec
ond warning, and he had let her mes
senger escape him!
He hurriedly descended the stairs. The
sound of voices was approaching him.
He halted aud recognized the faces of
the brigade surgeon and one of hit
aide-de-camp.
Wc were hesitating whether to dis
turb you, general, but it may be an af
fair of some importance. Under your
orders a negro womnn was just now
challenged stealing out of the lines. At
tempting to escatic. she was chased
there was a struggle and scmmblc over
the wall, and she fell, st riking her head.
She was brought into the guard house
unconscious."
"Very good, 1 will tee her," said
Brant, with a feeling of relief .

alone," said the surgeon. "For when 1
endeavored to bring her to and was
sponging her face and bead to discover
her injuries her color came off! She
was a white woman, stained and dis

For an instant Brant's heart sank.
It .wasJilHw Fatllkuer. ; : t
"Did jyon recognize her?" he laid,

"Had you seen lier here before?"
"No, sir," replied the. nid-deicamp.

He moved away. Although attaching
little importance to the mysterious
message whether sent by Miss Faulk

IViwd only upon a knowledge of the
original plan of attack he nerc

Wltlra certain half Irony of recoil '.:
tiou lie had selected Jim Hooker to tic
company the party as a volunteer. Tliit
doue he returned to the gallery. The
surgeon met him at the door, "The in
dications of concussion are passing
i: iiy," he said, "but the seems to be
suffering from the exhaustion follow
ing some great nervous excitement.
Yon may go In she may rally from it
::i:y moment." .
With the artificiul atep and myste
rious hush of the ordinary visitor to a
sicklied, Urnnt entered the room. But
,-oinp Instinct greuter tbnn this com
mon expression of humanity held blm
suddenly .in awe. The room seemrd no
longer his It had slipped back into
that austere conventual privacy which
hod first impressed him. Yet he hesi
t.ited; another strange suggestion it
.Mimed n I most a vague recollection
overcame him like some lingering per
fume, faint, far off and pathetic, in its
rl inpr familiarity. He turned his eyes
nlinoKt timidly towards the bed. The

Suddenly this man of iron nerves ut
tered it fulnt cry, and with a face in:

fell on his knees beside the bed. For
the face that lay there was his wife's.
Yes! hers. But the beautiful hair

ders w:ih streaked with gray along
the blii! veined hollows of the temples;
the orbita of those clear eyes, beneath
their delicately arched brows, were
ringed with days of suffering; only the
clear cut proliler even to the delicate
imperiouaness of lips and nostril, wan
still there in all lt beauty. The cm-
ilct had slipped irom the shuuiu,
its familiar marble contour starlK
him. He remembered how in the::

tity bf that Diana-like revelation, and

.owurds him. He roe from his knee:
(icr eyes opened slowly. As the iirk
;!ure ft wonderment cleared Iron
them, they met him in the old anUtg
iiiism of spirit! Yet her first gesture
.vas a feminine pathetic movement with
both hands, to arrange her straggling
hair.. It brought her white fingers,
cleaned of their disguising Mains, as
a sudden revelation to her of what had
happened; she instantly slipped them
back under the coverlet again. Brant
did not speak, but with folded arms
ttood gazing upon her. And it was
her voice that first broke the silence.
"You have recognized me! Well, 1
mppose you know all," she said with 11
weak half-defiance.
He bowed his head. Hefcltatyctlr
could not trust his voice and envied hi -her
own.
"I may sit up, mayn't I?" She roan
aged by iheer force of will to struggle
to a sitting posture. Then as the cover

disgust around ber again: "I lorgot
that you strip women you nortlicn
soldiers. But I forgotalso," she added
with a sarcastic smile, "that you un
likewise my husband and this is y 0 11
room."
The contemptuous significance of be
speech dispelled the last lingering rem
nant of Branfs dream. In a voice tw
dry as her own he said: "I am afraid
you will now have to remember ouly
that I am a northern general and you a
southern spy."
"80 be it," she said, gravely. Then,
impulsively, "but I have not spied on
you." f
Yet the next moment she bit her lips
at if the expression hud unwittingly es
caped her; and with areckleas shrug of
her shoulders she lay back on her pil
low. "It matters not," tald Hrant, coldly.
"You have used this house, and thosu
within it to forward your design!. It
is not your fault that you found noth
