A Woman of Will.
If you had seen her you would
have thought her a sweet little wo
man. Probably you would have
given her credit for nothing hut
sweetness. You would have declar
ed her a lovable piece of loveliness.
She had such mihi blue eyes, such
a good naturcd, dimpled chin, that,
the thinness of her lips, indicating
firmness, was easily overlooked.
llcr name was Ruth Rand. To
Fred ihiilcy it was the dearest in all
the world. If you had seen her sit
ting, with her head on Fred's should
er, you would have guessed that she
entertained the same opinion of his
mime.
She had loved'him long. Site mado
no effort to conceal her happiness
when ho told her his heart's secret.
Aa naturally as a river toward the
ocean, her love turned toward his
loyo and gave itself away.
Fred was a thoroughly good fel
low, worthy of this little woman. We
could say nothing stronger in praise
of him !
Ruth was past Iwcnty-onc. Her
parents had died when she was a
child. Her uncle, Michael .Rand,
had been her guardian up to the
time of her niatu rity. She still lived
with him, and submitted to his
authorit}'. This by force of habit.
There arc some natures whose free
dom from obstinacy is often mis
taken for want, of fii mncss?their dis
like of conlliet for weakness. When
great occasions arise they surprise us
by their determination.
Such a one was Ruth Rand. Al
though she said "yes" to Fred with
out reservation, she thought it well
to ohm in her urfcle'a consent to the
union. Fred being a sensible fellow
agreed with her
Mi i her of them understood Mi
chael Kami Fred know little of him
goo I or had. and tu Ruth ho had al
ways been kind enough?she had
he\ T thwarted hint.
lie was a short', thick-set man, had
ciiiirse features and a recoiling Ibro
bosiil. His soul was so small its to he
hardly worth mentioning. Ho know
no law but bis own will. Uncom
promisingly selfish, bo would obtain
bis (Mid. though he purchased it with
broken hearts;
lie had made up bis mind that
Ruth should marry a certain gentle
man of his choice?-a man, by the
way, closely resembling himself in all
particulars.
So when Fred Bailey asked him
for Ruths' hand, it was the old story
of an old head wdth no sympathy for
young hearts, lie hot only refused,
but ordered Fred out of the house,
forbidding him to enter it again.
This proceeding ,astonished Ruth
as much as it did her lover. She
told him, however, that they could
wait, that time would soften he uncle.
As lie kissed her good bye, it was
with her promise that if Michael
Rand did not yield within a year,
she would marry Fred "in spite of
all the crabbed old uncles in the
world."
Tho next six months was a
eompnign whicli Fred took no pari ,
lor he saw Ruth but seldom. This
campaign was generald by licr and
her uncle. They surprised each
iit her.
Ruth discovered what a hard head -
cd, hard-hearted old sinner Michael
Rand was, he, what a strong-willed
little woman she had proved to he.
ric? unimpressible old brute?had
resisted all her powers of persuasion;
she?bravo heart?had refused with
scorn the gentleman of his choice.
Such was the condition of affairs at
tho end of tin* six months. The niece
as quietly determined, the uncle as
obstinate as ever.
It was winter, and tho ground
covered with snow. Ruth Rand sat
at the window, watching the speeding
sleigh, and listening to the merry
niusio^of the bells. Looking up tho
road, she saw her uncle in his hand
some sleigh, behind his fastest horses,
coming toward the house.
For tho first time since she waa a
child she trembled at the look upon
his i'acc. Sbo know not it3 cause, bu t
it was devilish in its wicked triumph,
and idio feared it. She had seen it
many years before, when he had heard
of the death of a man who had stood
in his path.
When he stopped before the door
and saw her at tho window, ho leer
ed. Without stopping to put up the
horse and sleigh, he strode int o the
room and stood before her laughing. ,
It was not that pleasant laugh
which sends the blood of the listener
dancing through his veins, till in
sheer sympathy he echoes it as loudly.
It was such a laugh as ill becomes
a mat) to have upon his face or sounU
ing from his lips?uglier than a sneer,
more terrible than a threat.
The base nature of this man stood
revealed before her in all its black
ness as he said, chuckling :
"My obstinate Ruth, you will never
marry Fred Bailey, for he is dying."
There was no effort to soften the
blow", there was no pity for her in his
heart. There is lightning in the sky,
and such men are not struck dead.
Oh, little Ruth, bear up; be not
weak before this monster 1
'A friend was showing him a pis
tol,' he went on, unsparingly 'and by
its accidental discharge Fred Bailey
was wounded. It's all up with him
He's made his last love speech, my
dear !'
A pleasant fellow, this Michael
, Rand.
With a scorn of him that reddened
her face and quivered her voice, she
asked:
' Where is he now ?' -
'A good five miles away, my deal
?in Langd on's house, on Black
Hill.'
Without as much as another
glance at him, Ruth left the room,
but in a moment was back again,
hooded and shawled. She bad passed
him, gbha out at the door and sea ted
herself in the sleigh before ho under
stood her intention. Quickly follow
ing her, just as she was about to
start he sei/.cd the horse's bridle.
'What arc you going to do ?'he
asked, with set teeth.
'I am going to see Fred,' she
answered, quietly.
'What then ?'
'I lira going to marry him. If he
dies, it shall be as my husband.'
He tightened his grip upon the
bridle as he exclaimed :
'You shall not!'
All disguise was useless. They
looked into each other's eyes?a de
termined woman against an obstinate,
unscrupulous man.
'Let go!' she said, menacingly,
but be heeded not.
She spoke to the horse, but her
uncle's hold made it useless.
She took the whip from its stock.
Thoroughly roused . now, and as
desperate as lit; was, she exclaimed :
'1 say again, let go !'
lie only laughed. Up in the air
went the whip?down again upon the
hand that held the bridle, leaving a
livid welt.
With an path Michael Rand
.qnung back, and, as the horse star
led, Ruth looked behind her and saw
licr uncle shaking his first at her in
impotent rage.
She drove for a couple of miles at
ti break neck speed At that distance
from her home there Iivj<1 a young
minister, a good friend of both Fred
and herself.
That you jig clergyman had never
been hurried out of his house and
into a vehicle in stich quick time be
fore; but it seemed an age to Ruth.
.She did not even give him time to
listen to an explanation of her
strange conduct.
Kot until they were in the sleigh
and flying along tho snow did ho
understand the situation; then he was
the right man in tho right place. He
was not a timid follow, this country
par-son. Ho didn't care the snap of
Iiis finger for Michael Rand's wrath.
?Ruth,' he said,'I'll marry you to
Ti ed Bailey in spite of a thousand
uncles!'
It was a straight jroad upon which
they were driving. \Thcy looked be
hind them, KuU? aw her ancle fol
lowing. ,
He had borrow* & sleigii. His
legal authority over her was ended;
but she knew ig^n? desperation he
would dare anything to prevent the
marriage.
Ruth breathed a great sigh of re
lief when, on arrtvTwg at Lihgdon's
house, she saw that Utc uncle was far
behind. ? i
As she entered die room where
Fred lay, for tho tijjjj. time weakness
came upon her. NoiV that much o(
the excitement of th)> post half hour
was gone, she was 'ace to face with
her sorrow. She had triumphed for
the moment, but Courage could not
save her dying lover;/*?
She trembled as fcjie. opened the
door of his room. j^Fh'ere was Mr.
Langduii"and the dj^tor. Without
hesitation, she steppt?^to Fred's bed
side and kissed him.>rj,
His wound preveui^liim from put
ting his arms aro^uM her, but he
whispered : . i
'My darling!' ''M
The report of the d:$?ger'of Fred's
condition h;ul been exaggerated, the
drfctor said. Ho might die, but his
case was by no means hopeless
Ruth had told them why she had
come. Fred was delighted?was cer
tain that with such a dear little wife
as nurse he would soon get well. The
doctor?jolly old dog!-|?aid it would
be just the thing. j
Ruth took Fred's Jiand in hers,
and that quiet mfnisttVwith a stout
heart commenced the t^eemony.
?By this time Miujjiiel Rand hml
rrived, and ..lhc?l?$?^V.\r3 ci.a:pe
voice inquiring the way to the sui k
man's loom. At Ruth's request^ the
doctor turned tho key in the door.
Soon at that door Michael Rand wa?
pounding for admittance. The d >c
tor tohl him it would bo oppncrl whmi
the martinge Wits complete.1, where
upon the enraged man us-.id S utio
very bad language. IIb tried to fo eb
the door open by throwing his ho ly
against it. It was of good stout jak,
and though tlio house shook, resisted
well. When Fred Bailey and Ruth
Ran i were man and wife, past al 1
remedy, they lcthiui in.
Walking straight to the young
clergyman, and exclaiming, 'You are
the ministerial sneak that did this !'
ho slapped him in the face, whore it
the parson promptly knocked him
down.
Fred Bailey did hot die. Although
many years have passed since that
winter's day, there is no happier
couple on the globe than he and
Ruth.
Michael Rand still lives. He is a
miserable old man, without a love to
ding to.
Rather Got Him.
'Here I am again. Sit still, sit
still. Don't try to get away. N. y.
?no use?you know. Did you ever
hear of anybody getting away from a
life insurance agent ?'
'No, I never did,'said tho victim
ivith a sign of despair.

On Dyspepsia.
At a laic mee ting of the TTa' viah
Soci< ly, of London, Dr. Farqnharson
read it paper on this subject.
Attention was directed to the state
of the tongue in dyspepsia. A deeply
fissured tongue often meant little:
w heron.s a thin while fur, composed of
minute dotes, was generally found
along with pain immediately after
food. Pain after a longer interval
was accompanied by a pa'c, flabby
tongue, with reddish tip and ecu tor.
the treatment of dyspepsia consisted
of two ) arts, thai of food and that of
drugs. The latter was the principal
part with patients applying for gratui
tous relief. The pain occurring im
mediate')' after food was usually re
lieved by a'ka?es; whereas acids wore
indicated where sullen ng was not ex
perienced until an hour or two after
I the commencement of the digouivc
act. For the rclicfof the nausea ami
sickness remaining aller tho bowels
were thoroughly cleansed, nothing
was so effectual as hourly drop doses
of ipeca-juai.ha wine. Nux voniica
was also a valuable remedy. Pain
might be but the protest of the st.en
| ach against an overload, or be the.
result of deficient tone from general
nervous exhaustion, in some cases
each meal was followed by diarrhoea;
and for these cases attention was di
rected to Ringer's plan of minute
doses of the liquor hydrugyri perchlor
iiii. In speaking ol diet, Dr. Fur
quliarsoti pointed out that there are
three forms of dyspepsia : 1. Tie: dys
pepsia of fluids,-?s it is called, where
the stjmacb seems intolerant of all
forms of fluid; 2. The digestive do
ra ligomon t s follow in g i ntemperance
in the matter of animal food; and 3.
The dyspepsia connected with indulg
ence in tea, or other warm and weak
infuaioiis of tannin.
