The nuise went to ward li, which was a man's apartment, and began preparations, being watched by a pair of brown eyes belonging to the only patient in tho room. "You are going to have company, Mr. Kow," she said, brightly, 'a new patient i ri less than half an hour."' "Misery loves company, and he will bo very welcome," replied thc man, without moving his eyes. "Isitobad case?" "I do not know; but I hope he will not be entirely wretohed, for that would not lighten your burden any, even if misery does love compa ny." "Well, theie are palliating cir cumstances," his eyes still fixed on her face. Miss Brainard did not reply; she understood Mr. Row fairly well. At first he bad puzzled her greatly, for he seemed intelligent, and his hands were as white and soft as her own. She had never) thought him a good man, and her opinion of him had not been improved by the appearance of his only visitor-a loud-voiocd, in dependent creature-whom she sup posed at first to bo Mrs. Row,' but whom, she learned later, was merely "acousin." She was well aware of the fact that nurses were forbidden to know any of tho particulars of the cases under their charge; but when the interne one day left the history oreases in her ward, she picked it up and without any scruples read all there was written about her peculiar charges. Mr. How, it seems, had been blessed with a wife and three ehildren, all of whom he had deserted someten years before: his occupation being that of a barber, his career had been a wild and dissipated one; andas she ministered to him she constantly wondered what would be the outcome of his life if lie recovered from his prescut illness. Tho new patient had come; ho was little and thin and delicate: a face drawn with pain ond constant suffer ing, but with patient eyes [and sensi tive mouth. "Our new friend is a little hoy," said Miss Brainard to Mr. How, as she 1 glanced kindly at the suffering face over which a faint smile broke .is he whispered with an effort, "How old do you think 1 am?' ' , '"Twelve. ' -he promptly replied, ! seating herself by his side with paper, pencil, thermometer and watch: 1 "nov; you musn't talk any more until ! I have done with yon: only your name." "Joe Blythe, aged seventeen," he 1 said, enjoying her look ul" hurpri.se. i But she said no more-only to her self-" 'Blythe." ill adapted name- ] temperature high, pulse rapid, hip ? bad-three fistulas-poor child! and 1 seventeen! well, he may be in years. 1 but to me he shall be little .Joe-my < little patient." ^ As the days passed on Miss Brain- 1 ?rd/and Joe became very close friends; < /'the sweet patience and heroic suffer ing of the latter appealed to her wo- 1 ..... . lily il vi;)! !

Whenever Mrs. Illy thc called to see her son Mr. Kow lay with his face to the wall or with a newspaper thrown over his head, and Miss Brainard respeoted the feeling of delicacy which had prompted him to withdraw as far as possible from tho family inter course. After a time Miss Brainard was placed on night duty; and Joe, though failing rapidly, always welcomed her with a bright smile. As time went on he developed a cough and grew very restless so thal after all the other pa tients had been attended to, she would come and sit by his side and sing softly. "You are so wonderful, nursie, oan't you sing 'Der Lorelei?' mother used to sing it to me," and her sweet voice echoed "Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeutet Das ich so traurig bin" then he would ask for some of thc hymns that he used to know, and "nursie" would read to him from thc Bible and tell him old (?crinan legends and recite little German poems. Ile always went to sleep after that. One night as Miss Brainard was about to go on duty tho day nurse called her aside and said, "The doctor looks very grave over Joe. Ile may die any time-fever high, no resist ance-no vitality; thought I would tell you so that you would not be sur prised if he went off in the night. Good-night." Her little doc-to whom she had be come so devotedly attached! She went and' stood by the bedside-saw how his eyes shone, saw the parched lips, the flushed face. As she took his little shrunken hand in hers, he whis pered: "You have come nursie, I am so glad; you will not leave me again?" And she did not, only to make the oth er patients comfortable for the night, and to quiet a morphine li.'ml in the next room. That night little Joe's life went int. True, patient .Joe! Toward the last, when his breathing was difficult, "nursie" raised him in her anns and held him so till the last fluttering breath told her that his spirit had (Iud. Then she laid him back on the pillow with a great lump in her throat and tears raining on the dead 'ac?'. The next time she entered the room Mr. How, with his head buried in his pillow, was shaking with strong sobs: ind she left him so. Karly in thc morning his face looked white and Irawn, as if with great supering. But (vhen Mrs. Blythe came he seemed to bo sleeping, with a newspaper thrown )ver his face.

Little Joe's murderer!" A bevy of sad-faced girls brought Howers for poor, dead Joe; and Mr. Kow groaned on his bed of sick ness. Mr. Kow recovered and left the hos pital. One day Miss Brainard received a letter which touched her strangely. It ran thus: "Miss BRAINARD:- God bless you for turning a wioked man straight again. I don't know how to tell you, but tell you I must. I was Joe's father-I wae his murderer. God knows I repent! It was drink that did it. I was a young man-not twen ty one-when I married Joe's mother. She wai a pretty little girl with pink cheeks and bluooyes and hair like the silk from corn. We were happy; our ohildren were healthy and good; Joe, the oldest, and Annie and Baby Freda. "I never intended to drink; but a fellow likes to be social and some way instead of reading at home-for I was always a great hand to read-or fixing up the place, I got into a notion of spending my evenings at the saloon with the boys. And drink crazed mc; that night I was wild, mad; I could not have beat my wife and half killed my boy had I been myself; my blood was on fire, and I did not know what I was doing, until I heard thc thud of Joe's body on tho landing below aud saw how still ho lay and thought that I had killed him. Then fear possess ed me-and I rau and ran-only to es cape-and drank more and more. I was always in fear of being arrested, but after a year or two had passed and I was left alone I grew quieter and didn't drink so much -though I had sometimes to drown out thc memory of my wife and baby on the floor and my boy down there, so still, on the landing. '"I got pretty hardened after awhile and began to try to have a good time; 1 drank - I had to- but 1 dressed up and tried to be somebody. I visited a good many cities and finally settled down hero in a barber shop: 1 made' good wages, and that woman-but. I want you to know lint I'll never have anything to do with her or any other woman again, unless my own wife will take nie hack. "Well, there in the hospital I had time to think: then Joe came, but I didn't know he was my hoy until his mother's first visit-though 1 thought I bearii you say the name, Joe Blythe, thc day he arrived; then 1 ermcludcd that I hadn't heard right; 1 wouldn't have known him he was such a hand some lad before I "And I did not think they would recognize me, but still I always put t'ie papir over my face when his moth er came.

There axe dozens of remedies recommended for Scrofula, some of them no donbt being able to afford temporary relief, but S. S. 8. is absolutely the only remedy which completely cures it. .Scrofula isone of the most obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases? and is beyond the reach of the many so-called purifiers and tonics because some thing more than a mere tonio is required. 8.8.8. Is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every braco of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im portance of wasting no time upon treatment which oan not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that \ dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson, of M i 1 led ge ville, Qa., writes : "A bad case of Scrofula broke, out on the glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un ible to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, but without effect. Some one recommended 8.8. 8., and [ began to improve as soon as I had taken n few bottles. Continuing tho remedy, I was soon cured permanently, ?nd have never had ? sign of tho disease to return.'-* Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD -la the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it, and riot experimenting with the various io-ealled tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, nstend of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines tho opostitutior;.
