A Hero?A a mInto
a Fever-Sti
I By A. S. !
II is s:xi<I that every man has a
biiml spot in his eye. Sometimes
1 think that I must have a blind
spot in my brain, and that the disasters
and the sufferings of humanity
get before it. Floods and earthquakes
and epidemics devastate the earth,
but they make little impression upon
me. I read the headlines in the newspapers,
and when a mau asks me for
a dollar for a ''sufferer'' ho generally
gets it; but I lose no rest worrying
over his sorrows.
It may have been an unconscious
seeking after an antidote for my entirely
practical nature that attracted
ine toward Julia Maitlaiul. Julia was
beautiful, young and romantic, and
did not seem to desire any corrective
for licr disposition in thy way of an
alliance with me. I asked her to
marry me once, and when she declined
I continued to visit at her home, with
the full approval of her father, and
with the full intention of asking beluga
in.
She told me when she did so that she
respected mc and liked 111c, but that
she could never, under any circumstances,
he happy with a man who
could appreciate nothing but the sordid
side of life. She saia She had
noticed that when I looked at a painting
I always valued it, took into consideration
the reputation of the artist,
and then gave my opinion upon it.
It was just 10 o'clock when I left her
house. I had time to go down to the
office and finish up some correspondence,
which thy thought of a few hours
with her had made to seem of the
most trivial importance earlier in the
evening.
"We kept a light in the office nil night.
It looked a trifle brighter than usual
as it came peering over the transom,
but I had a genuine start of surprise
as I opened the door with my key, and <
found Itansoin. inv bookkeeper. *ti:l
busy. He looked up as though he had
had been expecting lne.
"Mr. Duaue," ho said, "here are some
letters that I think ought to be attended
to at once."
I sat dovrn and looked the letters
over. The matter was much more serious
than I had imagined it could be.
Alter talking and writing, and talking
again for an hour, wo arrived at the
conclusion that the only possible way
to save the two or three thousand dollars
involved was for me to make a
trip to a city in the northern part of the
State.
"There is a train at midnight?cr?
half-past. Why don't you take that?" ,
Ransom suggested.
It seemed the best possible thing to
do. I walked over to the hotel where
I lived, packed my satchel, and in another
half hour was waiting in the
station for my train. I took out some
papers I had brought along with me,
and went over them while I waited.
After a provoking delay the train
pulled out and soon I ordered my !
berth made up and turned in for the
night.
It was 10 o'clock next day when I arose
and dressed myself. I didn't think to
look out of the window until my toilet
was completed. I knew about where
we would be at that hour. Already the
lake breeze ought to be rushing through
the car, and yet it seemed sultry.
I walked out in search of somebody
official and met the conductor.
"What train is this?" I asked him,
rather excitedly.
He looked at me in bewilderment.
"Ain't you one of 'cm?"
"One of what? Isn't this the train
to Clinton? Where are we, anyway?"
The conductor looked at me stupidly.
"You didn't offer no ticket," he said
finally.
"No, I didn't. I showed the porter
my pass?here it is?and told him to
tell you about it, or to take it and
show it to you, and let me go to bed."
"Oh, him!" the conductor said, plucking
at his beard. "He can't read. He
supposed it was like all the rest?
they've all got 'em."
"All got what?" I fairly shouted at
him. "What are you talking about?"
"Young man," said the slow fellow,
solemnly?I found out afterward that
he had been chosen for this mission on
account of his calm nature?"you are
on a special train, carrying nurses and
doctors to the fever towns. You are in
quarantined country now, and how you
are going to get back I don't know."
"Oh, I'll get back," I said, cheerfully.
"Just let me off at the next town, and
I'll find my way back."
"I wouldn't do anything rash, if I
were you," he said.
It was a very still little town where
I stopped. There was only one other
passenger for that place?a slender girl,
with a clever face that looked too
young for a nurse's. I walked briskly
down the empty platform, hot with
sunshine, and exuding a strong smell
of rosin from the new pine boards.
There was a black sign over one of the
closed doors with "Telegraph Office"
in white letters. Inside there was a
"click, click" of instruments, but the
door was locked. A negro lad came
lounging round the corner.
"You needn't try to get in thah," he

"Isn't there anybody in this town j
who can send a message?" I inquired, i
There was a touch on my arm. I |
turned, to see the girl. "I can," she
said. "I am the volunteer operator
who has come to take charge of this
office and send dispatches about the
stare of things here."
"Weren't you afraid?" I asked her.
She looked so young.
"No." she said. "I have had the j

and I had it there years ago. I couldn't

They are always to the ferry, the forge, ;

And then, turning to the boy, she asked ?
for the key.
Ten minutes later he had returned 1
from the house where the last operator *
lay dead, with the big dcor key, and
we were let into the sweltering, dusty little
box of a room, which seemed <
to me as if 't still held traces of the '
disease. I opened the windows to 1
make the girl comfortable, and sent 1
the boy out after some ice water and
seme lemons. Then I remembered 1
something.
"Say," I called to him, and I went '
outside and asked him where I could 1
find the nearest bar. I
"Ovah thak in th' tavelm," pointing
to a long, low, unpainted house.
I ran across the street, followed
leisurely by the boy, and found my
way into a bare room with a shelf
across it, and perhaps a dozen bottles.
A portly man, in soiled yellow linen,
was dozing in a chair. I awakened 1
him. '
"Have you any tonic?" I said. 1
""Who's got it now?" he asked, with a 1
start. <
"Got what?'*
"The fevali. Yes, snh, I've got pi en- 1
ty, sali;" and he went into another <
room, and brought oul two greenish <
bottles of tonic. i
"It's the best medicine thah is fur 1
it. Who's got it? The misses bring <
down tonic, but It's no slch brand as 1
this?" '
"Xo, I suppose not," I said; and then '<
I asked after ice, but I found that be- 1
yond the supply held by the "nusses," '
there wasn't any in the town. *
I took the bottles and went back <
across the street, followed presently by '
the boy with the water.
"I can cool it," the girl said, and she 1
sent the boy back after an earthen jar 1
of water. She wrapped it in wet cloths, i
put the bottles in it, and set the whole 1
in the window. *
"What's that message of yours?" she
asked. I found she had already introduced
herself to the other offices aloug
the line. I sent a telegram to Ransom, j
telling him in the office cipher of my
plight, and Instructing him to make
some arrangements about getting me j
out of the 3x I was in, without saying (
anything about it. I wanted to sneak j
back without being quarantined.
"What is your name?" I asked the ,
girl. (
"Fanny. Martin," she said. I
"Well, I am going to have the answer l

anxious to have people talking about
my being down here."
"Don't want your right hand to
know, eh?"
But I made no explanations.
? *
Suddenly Miss Martin came running
down the path.
"Come in here, quick," she said,
and went back ahead of me. I followed
her into an old-fashioned square
house, with a wide oilclothed hall, and
thin balustraded stairs, which she lightly
mounted. In the room was an old
man who had fallen back on his pillow,
dead, his face drawn and yellow with
the scourge. Standing by his side was
a tall, sallow woman, who?I am
ashamed to confess?even in that moment
presented herself as a familiar
figure. I had seen her counterpart on
the stage hundreds of times as the
typical spinster. There were even the
glasses and the keys, and the bunches
of skimpy curls behind the ears. She
was looking down at her father in a
hard sort of dumbness.
"The servants have gone," Miss Martin
said. "There is nobody to do anything.
It is lucky you are here."
I did not stop to contradict her, but
set to work for humanity's sake to do
what I could.
One of the sorrows of those times
was that the dead must be burled sg
quickly. I took a lantern, went out to
the burying ground, and hunted up the
family lot. With the assistance of a
negro man, whom Miss Martin discovered,
I dug a grave. We went back to
the town and found a coffin, and in the '
early summer morning we burled the
dead man.
As we came out of the graveyard I
stopped Fanny Martin.
"Have you been to the office?" 1
asked.
"Yes, indeed."
"Well, where ?s my message:"
"There wasn't any."
"The deuce!" I said, and walked on
back with her. The spinster lady lin
gered by her father's grave. Miss Mar- 1
tin seemed inclined to stay, but I knew j
she could do no good there. I took her
by the arm and led her back to the tel- \
cgraph office, and dictated some mes- '
sages that would bring answers.
I left her clicking off a long message
to somebody. .
It was almost dark when a knock
came on my door, and the grayish .
negro boy put his head in and followed
it by the rest of his body, carrying
a yellow envelope. It was from the
superintendent, telling me he would do
what he could for me, but he feared
I should be stopped, as quarantine ?
was very strict.
"If I don't get out, any way you *
will be sure to get your tonic," I said to .'
Fanny Martin. We had grown to be .
famous friends. She was a smart,
clever little thing, with a shrewd way .
of looking at life, and a keen sense of .
humor. She had made excursions ~
round about during the day, riding on ^
horseback. There were very few cases }
loft, and they were going to move on (
to the next town.
"The reports are exaggerated," she '
said; "but then that's what sells the
papers. It's all in the day's work.
Now, suppose you tell me what brought <
you down here2" . , t <1 < ji
/
"The nurses' train.**
"Yes, but before tint. Had you a
secret sorrow? Had your wife died, or
your sweetheart jilted you, that you
valued life so lightly?"
"My sweetheart had jilted mo, or refused
to marry me, the night I started,
but I can hardly say that I valued life
much the less. I cm going back to
try it over again."
"What is the matter with you?" Fanny
Martin asked. "You seem like a
very respectable person. The President
of the C. A. & S. seemed to think
you wore a reliable man."
"I am. I am too respectable. She
says I am 'practical.' For example,
?he says that all I see in a yellow fever
epidemic is Its effect on trade."
"And you came down here to nurse
and show her better?"
"Not by a great deal!" said I emphatically.
And then I told her exactly
how it all happened.
"And she wants a romantic lover?"
"I suppose so."
"Ah!" said Fanny Martin.
if * if
It seemed to me that men looked at
me oddly, and shook hands with me ;
more heartily than usual. My friends j
ire serious, hard headed follows, a 1
?cod deal like myself, not much given ;
lo effusive expression; but one of them :
actually called me a hero.
It is very seldom that ladies visit
tny office, but as I went in I saw a
;leam of summery apparel. A moment
later there was a rush and a sob,
ind Julia, actually Julia, was In my '
irms.
"My darling girl:" I said. "What Is :
the matter? Is your father ill? Is j
anything wrong?"
"No! No! Oh,suppose ycu had died! |
And it was all my fault?I should have j
driven you to that dreadful death! |
Oh, I know you saved hundreds of |
lives, but what would that have mattered
to me!"
"Julia, my child," I said, "will you
tell mo what is the matter?"
"I know you didn't want anybody to
[mow it, and I am rightly punished
for having driven you to it, by all this
niblicity. I am so proud of you!" And
Julia, Julia who had scorned me. actually
put her tear-stained cheek
igainst my own, and then kissed me.
I turned to Ransom. "Now tell nie,"
said I, "what all this is about."
He put bis pen between his teeth,
and took down a copy of a New York
paper of the Sunday before?which
liad just reached our town. lie turned
to a head-lined page, pointed out an article,
and went back to work. I sat j
lown and read it.
It narrated?the' experiences of one of
the paper's young women correspondnits,
who had volunteered to go as
telegraph operator to the yellow fevei
infected district. Half the letter was
taken up with the noble self-sacrifice

nteresting of these are the burrowing i
jwls. These, unlike their tree or towei
jaunting relatives, make their home

mrious that these owls, which of all

to use their eyes in tn'e dark, are

patch their food and do their courting

Ja the Verge of Bright'* Disease.?
A Quick Cure That Lasted.
CASE NO. 30.G11.-C. E. Boies, dealer
in grain and feed, 503 South Water
street, Akron, O., rnado the following
! statement in 1S9G; he said: "Ever
since the Civil War I have had attacks
of kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly
worse during the last two or three
years. Although I consulted physicians,
some of whom told me I was
verging on Bright's disease, and I was
continually using standard remedies,
the excruciating aching just across the
kidneys, which radiated to the shoidI
der blades, still existed. As might be
expected when my kidneys were in a
disturbed condition, there was a distressing
and inconvenient difficulty
with the action of the kidney secretions.
A box of Uoan's Kidney Pills,
procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug
store, brought such a decided change
within a week that I continued the
treatment. The last attack, and it was
particularly aggravated, disappeared."
Three Years After.
Mr. Boies says in 1809: "In the
spring of 1S0G I made a public statement
of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
of a terrible aching in the kidneys, in
the small of my back, in the muscles

limbs. During the years that have
gone by I can conscientiously say there
have been no recurrences of my old
trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kidney
Pills is stronger than ever, not
only from my personal experience,
but from the experience of many others
in Akron which have come to my
notice."

" I hired a girl to mind the children
and to do whatever else she
could- I couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick as I was, it was easier for rue
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie wps fretful
and cross, but as he was cutting
teeth, I didn't think much of that.
Even when a rash broke out on his
face I wasn't frightened, because
everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Several
of my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing about it.
" But the rash on Charlie's poor
little face spread to his neck, chest,
and back. I had never seen an}'thiug
quite like it before. The skin
rose in little lumps, and matter
came out. My baby's skin was hot,
and how he did suffer I He wouldn't
eat, and night after night I walked
the floor with him, weak as I was.
Often I had to stop because I felt
faint and my back throbbed with
pain. But the worst pain of all was
to see my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores.
"I believed he had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
and that is not catching, they told
me. Yes, I gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless.
Once in a while the itching seemed
to let up a bit, but there was not
much change for the better until a
lady across the street asked me why
I didn't try the Cuticura Remedies.
I told her I had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
