DO KOT USE A STIMULANT, USE A NERVE FOOD. Jm tht (burier-Htrald, la tht taf Itat of diseuw that human flesh k heir to, nan perhaps are more pain ful than faflammatory rheamatitm and its attendant ill. The sufferer lies racked by pains that seem unbearable and man y times eren death itself would be a relief. Tor tured by pains that seem beyond human skill to drire away or CYen alleviate, the wretched sufferer tosses on a bed of pain, liopinf that something may be found to re lease him from the thralls ,of that dreaded malady. A ease of this character recently came under the observation of a renresenta- tiv ff the Cowrier-Hmtld, while he ! chanced to be in the thriving, little town or Qladwin, the county seat of Gladwin county, Hkhigan. While there he heard of the case of Mrs. William Flyon, who had been a victim of inflammatory rheu matism in its severest form and had endured i uatoki sufferings from it. It had drawn her nana out 01 snape nnui iney resemDiea bird's claws. She had fallen away in flesh vntil she was almost a living skeleton and her sufferings were so great and constant that she became a victim of sleeplessness. All of these troubles contrived to make her condition most alarming and she became tire victim of hallucinations, seeing terrible things and fancied dangers everywhere. Tbea, at a time when the most serious consequences were threatened, she was in duced to try a remarkable remedy that had cored one of her friends and after a short time a happy termination of her terrible illness was assared. Asked in regard to her trouble and its treatment lira. Flynn responded as follows: "Two years ago I had! a terrible attack of inflammatory rheu matism that prostrated me utterly so that I was entirely nelpless. The trouble was in a .very violent form and drew my hands out of all shape. It also affected my lower limbs, which became badly swollen and helpless. J had had attacks of rheumatism several ttmes before but none so violent as this. ' I had constant pains in the joints and violent headaches. There were also times when I had chills verr severe and these were followed by periods of violent per- i spirauon mat was exceedingly protuse ana weakened my constitution. This condition kept on for about three months. ' One day a lady friend who had need Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People with great benefit, met my little girl on the street and on learning of my condition advised me to get some Pink Pills and take them. I . got a box and began to use them according .to directions. After two or three doses they acted very dearly on my nervousness. I had not been able to Bleep for a long time and this was beginning to tell on me very severely. I had fallen away in flesh until I was vary thin and weak and my hands were hardly more than skin and bone. As I said after two or three doses of Pink Pills they began to quiet my nervousness, and I could sleep. I continued to gain so that in a tew months I was again able to be up and do mv own work. The rheumatism has nearly left me. I am free from the pains tn the head and at night I can get healthful and refresh big sleep. These pills have done a great deal of good forme and I cannot speak too highly of them. There are also other cases around me where they hftre been used and they have acted beneficially as they did in my own case. I cannot say too much for them and say these few words of testimony in order that others who are suffering as I was, may try them and get relief." BARBER SHOP Best Shaves, Hair Cut or Sb itmpoo B. F.

Ait4r, JliJSV CO., T SolMtlfio American Ws W T a AA'lV iOil Saffinaw, Mich .Recently, while a representative of the Courier-Herald was at the thriving village of Gladwin, Gladwin County, he beard of a oaae of this nature and that it had yielded to a short treatment with a celebrated remedy, the name of which has become a household word in every hamlet, Tillage and city in the land. The victim of this unusually severe ease of nervous trouble was Ransom Sim mons, an old and well-known resident of the village. His nervous condition had grown worse and worse, until the slightest unusual noise, or even the opening of a door would almost drive him frantic. Skilled physi cians had studied over his case and pre scribed the usual remedies, but their efforts were unavailing, and the patient continued to get worse. Final iy,one day in reading a newspaper.hs encountered an item in regard to a case some what similar to his own, and read with great interest of the means by which it bad been cured. He at once decided to try the rem edy, and did so. As to the results of its use, we can not do better than quote Mr. Sim mons' own words. When asked to narrate his experience, he spoke as follows: " As the result of a long, continued illness I became the victim of nervous debility in its most violent form about four years ago. It kept growing worse and worse until I had become so nervous that the least noise around the house, or the entrance of anyone into the house, would throw tm into a violent nerv ous paroxysm. 1 tried medicines for the trouble, but was not relieved. Finally, I read in a Detroit, Michigan paper about a cure of a trouble somewhat similar to mine, effected by a medicine known as Dr. Wil liams' Piuk Pills, and decided to give these pills a trial. After 1 had taken a box of the pills, my nervousness bejran to be relieved, and after taking ten boxes of Pink Pills I was so well that I discontinued their urc, and hare not had to use them or anything for nervous troubles for two years part. In my case they acted quickly and effectually on my nervous troubles, and they proved an efficient and reliable remedy. Since using them I have recommended them toothers, and they have used them with great benefit." .Mrs. Simmons corroborated her husband's statements,and was earnest in her good words for the remarkable remedy that had been the means of affording her husbandmuch needed rest, and had freed him from the violent nervous disability that had made bis life miserable. Many cases similar to this on of Mr. Simmons' have been noted, wherein I)r. Williams' Pink Pills have wen used with eminently satisfactory rod speedy re suits, and liability to frequent and excessive nervous excitement has been readily relieved and the shattered nerves built up and re stored to a normal, healthy condition, j Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, 'in a condensed form, all the elements n?cesary to give new life and richness to the Woo-i ana restore shattered nerves.

Hill he could see In the eye" of the few com rades who raniniiwrutiuffly look leave of him a vapue, lialf-reprcHaed awe of some Indefinite wenliiirsa in the man Ibnt mingled with their heartfelt devo tion to a gallant aoldier. Vet. even this touched him no longer, lie cost a glance nt the house and at the room where he had parted rom her. at the slope from which ahe had passed, and rode away. And then, aa hia figure disappeared down the road, the restrained commen tary of wonder, surmise and criticism broke out: "It must have been something hightj lincl, for the old man, who awears by him, looked rather troubled. And It wasdeuced quecr.you know, thinchaug iitfC clothes with somebody just before the surprise!" "Nonsense I It's something away back of that!' Didn't you hear the old ninn say that the orders for him to re port himself came from Washington lost night? No," the speaker lowered his voice, "Strangcways says that he had regularly sold himself out to one of them d d secesh woman spies! It's the old Marc Antony business over ngnin." "Now I think of It," said the younger subaltern, "he did seem mightily taken with one of those quadroons or mulat tos he issued orders against I sup pose that was a blind for us! I remem ber the first day he saw her; he was regularly keen to know all about her." Mnj. Curtis gave a short laugh. "That mulatto, Martin, was a white woman, burnt-corked! She waa trying to get through the lines last night and fell oft a wall, or got a knock on the head from a sentry's carbine. When ahe was brought in Sr. Simmons set to wash ing the blood off her face the cork came off, and the whole thing came out. Brant hushed It up and the woman, too in his own quarters! It's supposed now that she got away somehow in the rush!" "It goes back further than that, gen tlemen," said the adjutant, authori tatively. "They say his wife was a howling secessionist tour years ago in California, was mixed up in a conspir acy, and he had to leave on account ot It. Look how thick he and that Miss Faulkner became before he helped her off!" "That's your jealousy, Tommy; ahe knew he was, by all odds, the biggest man here, and a good deal more, too and you had no show ! " In the laugh that followed It would seem that Brant's eulogy had been spoken end forgotten. But aa Lieut. Martin was turning away a lingering corporal touched his cap. "You were speaking of those prowl ing mulattoes, sir. You know the gen eral passed one out this morning." "So 1 have heard." "I reckon she didn't get very far. It was just at thetime that we were driven in by their first fire, and I think she got her share of it, too. Do you mind walk ing this way, sir?" The lieutenantdid not mind, although he rather languidly followed. . When they had reached the top of the gully the corporal pointed to what seemed to be a bit of striped calico hanging on thorn bush In the ravine. "That's her," said the corporal. "I know the dress. I was on guard when she was passed. The searchers, who were picking up our men, haven't got to her yet but she ain't moved or stirred these two hours. Would you like to go down and see her?" The lieutenant hesitated. He was young nnd slightly fastidious a to un necessary unpleasantness. He believed he would wait until the searchers brought her up when the corporal might call him. at The mist came up gloriously from the swamp like a golden halo. And as Clar ence ilrant, already forgotten, rode moodily through it toward Washington, hugging to his heart the solitary com fort nf his great sacrifice, his wife, Alice Brant, for whom he had made it, was lying in the ravine, dead and un cared for. Perhaps it was part of the inconsistency of her' sex that she was pierced with the bullets ot those that ahe loved, and was wearing the gar ment of the race that she bad wronged. PABI UI. CHAPTER I. It was sunset of a hot day at Wash ington. , Even at that hour the broad avenues which diverged from the capital like the rays nf another sun were fierce and glittering. The sterile distances be tween, glowed more cruelly than ever, and pedestrians, keeping in the scant shade, hesitated on the curbstone be ore plunging into the Sahara-like waste of arosiings. The city seemed deserted. Even that vast army of contractors, speculators, place-hunters and lobby ists, which hung on the heels of the other army, and bad turned this pacific camp pf the nation into a battlefield of ignoble conflict and contention more disastrous than the one to the south bad slunk into their holes in hotel back bedrooms, in shudy barrooms, or in the negro quarters of Georgetown, aaifthe majestic, white-robed goddess, en thoned .upon the dome ot the oapitol, bad at last dasesnatd aosr than, t4 - U llatond finah of ber insufferable sword. luto this stilling atmosphere of greed and corruption Clarence Brant stepped from the shadow of the war depart ment. For the laat three weeks he had haunted Its anterooms and audience chambers, in the vain hope of righting himself before his superiors, who were content, without formulating charges against him, to keep him In this dis grace of inaction and the anxiety of suspense. Unable to ascertain the de tails of the accusation, end eonseious nt his own secret, he was debarred the last resort of demanding a court-martial, which he knew could only exoner ate him by the exposure of the guilt of his wife, whom he still hoped nnd safely escaped. His division command er, in active operations In the Held, had no time to help bim at Washington. Elbowed aside by greedy contractors, forestalled by selfish politicians and dis daining the ordinary method of Influ ence, he had no friend to turn to. In Ills few years of campaigning he had lost his instinct of diplomacy without acquiring a soldier's bluntness. The nearly level rays of the sun forced him at laat to turn aside into one of I lie openings of a large building a fa mous caravansary ot that hotel-haunted cnpital and he presently found himself in the luxurioua barroom, fragrant with mint and cool with ice slabs, piled sym metrically on its marble counters. A few groups of men were seeking cool ness at the small tables, with glasses be fore them and palm-leaf fans in their hands, but a larger and noisier assem blage was collected before the bar, where a man, collarless and In his shirt sleeves, with his back to the counter, was pretentiously addressing them. Urant, who had moodily dropped into a chair in the corner, after ordering a I'ooling drink as an excuse tor his tem porary refuge from the stifling street, half regretted his enforced participa tion in their conviviality. But a sudden lowering of the speaker's voice into a note of gloomy significance, seemed fa miliar to him. Hi: loncl at him quick ly, from the ahadow of his comer. He waa not mistaken it was Jim Hooker. For the first time in his life, Brant wished to evade him. In the day of his own prosperity his heart had al ways gone out towards this old com panion of his boyhood; in his present humiliation his presence jarred upon him. He would have slipped away, but to do so he would have had to pass be fore the counter again, and Hooker, nith the self -consciousness of a story teller, had an eye on hia audience. Brant, with a palm leaf fas before his face, was obliged to listen. ."Yes, gentlemen," said Hooker, ex amining his glass dramatically, "when a man's been cooped up in a rebel prison, with a death line before bun that he's obliged to oross every time he wants a square drink, it seems sort of like a dream of hia boyhood to be standin' here comf 'ble before bis liquor, alongside o' white men once more. And when he knows he's bin put to all that trouble jest to save the reputation of another man, and the secrets of a few high and mighty ones, it's almost enough to make hia liquor go agin him!" He stopped theatrically, seemed to choke emotionally over his brandy smash, but with a pause of dramatic determination finally dashed it down. "No, gentlemen," he continued, gloom ily. "I don't say what I'm back in Washington for I don't say what I've bin savin' to myself when I've bin pick ing the weevels outer my biscuits in Libby prison but ef you don't see some pretty big men in the war department obliged to climb down in the next few ilnys my name ain't Jim Hooker, of Hooker, Meecham & Co., army beef contractors, and the man who saved the fight at Gray Oaks!" The smile of satisfaction that went around his audience an audiencequick to seize the weakness of any perform ancemight have startled a vanity less oblivious than Hooker's, but it only aroused Brant's indignation and pity, and made his position still more in tolerable. But Hooker, scornfully ex pectorating a thin stream of tobacco juice against the spittoon, remained for an instant gloomily silent. "Tell us about the fight again," said a smiling auditor, Hooker looked around the room with a certain dark suspiciousness, and then in an affected lower voice, which bis theatrical experience made perfectly audible, went on: "It ain't much to speak of, and if it wasn't for the prin ciple of the thing I wouldn't be talk in'. A man who's seen Injin flghtin' don't go much on this here West Point flghtin' by rule-of -three but that ain't here or there'. Well, I'd bin out a-scout-in' just to help the boys along, and I was eittin' in my wagon about day break, when along comes a brigadier general, and he looks into the wagon flap. I oughter to tell you first, gentle men, that every mlnit he was expect in' an attack but he didn't let on a hint of it to me. 'How are you, Jim?' says he. 'How are you, general?' says I, 'Would you mind lending me your coatand hat?'aayshe. 'I've got a little game here with my pickets, and I don't want to be recognized,' 'Anything to oblige, general,' says I, and with that strips off my coat and hat, and he peels and puts them on. 'Nearly the same figure, Jim' he says, lookin' at - mill wn as isw tm mm me! And Uie next minute we was In the thick of it. I had my hat as full of holes as that ice strainer: I had adniuu bullets through my coat, the fringe of my eimulettes was shot away, but I kept the toys nt their work and we stopped 'em! Stopped 'em. gentlemeu! until we heard the bugles of the rest of our division, that all tills time had been rolling that blasted rear guiird over on us! And It saved the llghtl Hut the next minute the Johnny Reds made a last dash and out me off nd there 1 was by (J , a prisonerl Me that had saved the llghtl" A ripple of ironical applause went round as Hooker gloomily drained his glasa and then held up his hand is scornful deprecation.

Then along trot an orderly leadln' a horse. 'Mount, general,' he says. 'We're attacked the rear guard's on us!' He paused, looked around his audi ence and then is a lower voice said, darkly: "I ain't a fool, gentlemen, and in that minute a man's brain works at high pressure, and I aaw it nil! I saw the little game of the brigadier to skunk away in my clothe and leave me to be captured in his. But I ain't a dog, neither, and I mounted that horse, gen tlemen, and lit out to where the men were formin'l I didn't dare to apeak lest they should know me, but 1 waved my sword, and by 0 1 they followed (To be continued.)
