In 1890 The 5>atigerlu.st celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with a large celebration in New York City. The following is his testimony: "About two years ago I caught a severe cold while traveling and which settled into catarrh of the bronchial tubes, and so affected my voice that 1 was obliged to cancel my engagements. In distress I was advised to try Pcrur.a, and although I had never used a patent medicine before, I sent for a bottle.

Still, even these things would not he so bad if John Bull would but insure a free current of air through his living rooms. But that is just what Mrs. John Bull will by no means allow. Fresh air is "smutty" and night air is unhealthy, so the windows must be shut. Yet all through the winter there are almost dying people, lying out on the verandas of hospitals and sanatoriums along the Thames and near the Hampstead marshes. Nevertheless, the unhealthy, fog-laden, miasmatic air actually cures many of them. The truly unhealthy air is the "stuffy" air. HIS ANCESTOR.

I struggled up into a sitting position, with my elbows oil my knees and my chin in my hands and studied the matter out. As nearly as I could figure it out, we had either beaten off the treacherous Filipinos who had so cleverly ambushed my scouting party, or we hadn't. If the first were true, I was probably safe in a hospital, and if the second, I was a prisoner, with a very unpleasant future before me. I couldn't very well decide which, under the circumstances, without outside information, so I shouted at the top of my voice, 'Hello! Hello there!' determined to end ihe suspense at once. "I heard the door open, and. turning in the direction of the sound I saw? and I gripped the sides of my cot hard with both hands at the surprise and horror of it?I saw stalk into the room a human skeleton. That was all, just a stark and hideous human skeleton, surmounted by a grinning skull, "There is nothing particularly delectable to thr average man about a skeleton at any time, but when one, and not a particularly well made one at that, saunters carelessly up to your bedside, cm 1 >? vrmr rmlsp in his fin^Ors. and asks, in the familiar tones of the surgeon you've been comrade with for several years, 'What are you making such a row about, old chap?' it is apt to produce, in the ordinary invalid, a variety of sensations more or less confusing. * "'What's happened? Where am I? What is it? What are you? What's the matter?' I gasped rapidly. " 'Oh, you're all right now. old chap,' the doctor's voice assured me, while the skull grinned more affably than ever upon me. 'You got a little swipe across the eyes from some murderous: minded Filipino's club, and it's laid yon up here in the hospital talking lunacy for a few days, that's nil.' " 'Exactly,' 1 muttered, scanning his skeleton intently. 'That is alL' " 'Funny thing,' went on the doctor's voice placidly. 'You've been seeing ail kinds of skeletons, and I don't know what all. According to you this is about the finest anatomical museum outside a duly licensed eharnel bouse ever incorporated. You surely have had a surfeit of bones, but I knew you'd wake up this time all straight.' " 'But. see here, doctor, if this thing that's gassing away is you,' I protested earnestly, 'that's all I cair see of you now.' "Whew!' whispered the skeleton to itself. 'Crazy as ever. Where's the morphine?' " 'Nonsense,' I cried hotly. 'I'm as sane as you are. Saner.. I reckon, because I don't dream everybody is crazy except myself. But I tell you, on my word, that all I see of you is your skeleton; and what's more, I'll prove it. See here, you've had three ribs on the right side broken some time or other.' " 'Yes, football, but how the deuce did you know it? I never told you, I'm sure,' replied the skeleton thoughtfully. " iT ' 11 T > T " l ion you i can see youi uujucs, x asservated excitedly. 'And "what's worse, it is all I can see of you, you lantern-jawed, lop-sided, toggle-jointed, poorly articulated, miserable specimen of a human frame, you.' " 'With a bandage over your eyes, too.' sneered the doctor. I suppose my minute appraisement of his only skeleton nettled him into overlooking for the minute the utter preposterousness of my claim. 'And it's as good as yours, anyway.' " 'I don't care if I have a million bandages on,' I insisted. 'Bandage or no bandage, I swear I can see your skeleton, or somebody's skeleton, standing by the bed. I could see it the minute you opened the door and let in some light, and that's all I can see of you except ? yes, a ring is dangling from your little finger, some coins are suspended some way against your left leg, and a bunch of keys and a knife on the right. I suppose they're in your trousers pockets. Now, what's the mat+^,. wifli mo dnftor'' TTcro trtk'o this cussed bandage off and let more liglit into the room. Let's get at the bottom of this.' "Only partly persuaded that he did not have a dangerous maniac on hi? hands the doctor reluctantly did as 1 asked, and I was promptly startled hall out of what wits I had left. "I seemed to be floating in space. 1 could see with perfect ease into the rooms above, below and around the om I was in.

As for the doctor, in the stronger light I could dimly make out a sort of transparent gelatinous covering to his skeleton, but not Well enough to tell one feature from another. The people in the other rooms, those passing in the street, even the animals which went by, were all skeletons to me, and skeletons only. Neither could I distinguish colors; the world was all black, or rather drab, and white to me. "It was days before I could really convince the doctor that this Was so, days filled with every conceivable testIds ingenuity could devise, days when first I fretted and chafed continually about lny condition, days passed in longing for the blessed night to come and shut Out in its friendly darkness ^11 the gruesome sights which tormented me from my eyes, but as the time dragged on 1 became more and more reconciled, as I grew more accustomed to the society of a skeleton-filled world. And then came a day when a great happiness was mine. ' 'Well, old chap,' said the doctor, throwing himself disgustedly ilito a chair at last, 'I must believe you; it's beyond any man's comprehension, but I must believe you. It's iitlnntitrdl and unscientific alid absolutely idiotic, but the only guess i can 111 a lie at an explanation is that that swipe you got across your eyes lias in some mysterious way altered the retina or optic nerve so that they, or one of tiiem, is sensitive to what are known as the X rays, to the exclusion of the ordinary rays.

YoU had better get leave and pull but for the IS rates As soon as yoii can, And consult a specialist. 1 can't help you any, and It must be a dreadful condition to be in.' "'Oh, it's not so bad, after ail,' i replied reassuringly. 'You see, while you've been testing and tinkering around learning to believe what Was perfectly true ail the time, I've been getting used to things as they are, and there are some consolations I find; I can feel, and taste, find hear, and smell jUst lis Well as ever, My eyei slalit is the only thing abnormal About me, nlid I've got xised to skeletons by now.

For Instance, there's a dainty little one comes In here every day to straighten Up the room that's?that's just delicious. I believe I'm head over heels in love with it, though I've never spoken a word to it. So that i don't know that I'm so awfully keen to be cured, after all.' " 'What?' yelled the doctor, beginning to grin, " 'I mean every word of It,' I said, doggedly. 'Ob, doctor, you can't realize what rt lovely, enchanting, tantalizing little skeleton it is. All the bones are simply ravishing In their perfection, and every joint works with a smoothness and ease that are really a poem. Why, compared with the great coarse, clumsy hones you fellows clump around with, all lumps and twists and gnarls of cartilage, hers, for it surely is a woman, are like the most delicate carving, an exquisite etching, or the filmiest cobweb ossified. If only you could see it, doctor, could only sc-e the gentle sweep of the collarbone, the sweet curve of the ribs, the tender lines of the arm bones, the delicate tracery of the leg bones, you wouldn't sit there grinning like a Cheshire cat. I've lain here day after day and watched that luscious little skeleton move about the room with such grace, so perfect in form, so rav tellingly beautiful in its matchless symmetry, until I know those fragile little finger bones have stolen into my breast and are forever clinched around my heart. "Who is she, doctor? Tell me!'"The doctor burst into a great guffaw of hoarse laughter, rocking himself back and forth where he sat. " 'Tell me who she is, doctor; tell me who she is, for the love of Heaven!' I implored. "Again the doctor roared with laughter. "My temper never was of the most patient, and being treated in such an . important matter with such ill-timed levity made it boil. " 'There's nothing to laugh at, you hee-hawing ass,' I growled. 'If yon . could only see those delightful bones if you could only realize that adorable . skull, if you could for a minute imagine such a liuggable, kissable, caressablc , iittle skeleton you wouldn't roll around there spluttering and spitting like f [ gibbering ape.' . "Again the doctor shouted witl laughter, and my temper gave way en tirely. " 'Stop it, you grinning baboon!' 1 ; shouted, springing on him, and winding > my lingers about his throat with all in} > fury in my grip. 'Stop it, I say! Tel - me who she is, or, by Heaven, I'll tefl] it from you!" " 'J-et go, you fool, you're chokinj . ui?!' gasped the doctor, vainlj struggling to unclasp my liautls. 4l"ou won't? Well, take it, then!' "As lie panted out these words he shoved me from him with all his strength, and then, as I fiercely closed upon him again, drove his list with all liis might into my face. "When I unclosed my eyes a little later I found the doctor bending tenderly over me. 'Sorry, old chap, awful sorry,' he said, regretfully, 'hut you had me nearly at the Inst gasp. What on earth was the matter with you, any way?' "'What's the matter with mo now?' I cried, staring wildly into his face, *t can see you. doctor, you yourself. I don't see a hone. I can see everything all light, even the red on your nose.' "'You can." exclaimed the doctor. 'Are you sure you can? Hooray! Ilooray!' lie went on, as I nodded my head positively. 'You're cured, I hope. It must have been the shock of my blow. You've heard of such things, two shocks balancing each other, one creating an abnormal stale of things, and the other restoring the normal, haven't you?' "As I was still trying to realize that Indeed I had returned to a world of l'orm and color there came "shuffling into the room the most withered, mom key-like, hideous old Filipino hag a mail ever shuddered at.

Along in the afternon he raised his heath ami in his delirium called the dog; and instantly the pointer was at tlie window, For hours he had been walking, unobserved by the anxious watchers inside, up and down the narrow Veranda that ran along the side of the boy's bedroom window.

Then B:iltyne opened the door that led to the little veranda and the dog glided in. Ilis whole frame quivered as he entered the room, and as he caught sight of the boy he uttered a little teetering whine that grew until he reached the bed. As the boy wound his arms around the dog's neck the whine swelled into a cry?not a bark nor a growl, nor yet a melancholy howl that a dog will do away in the dark? a sobbing cry, not unlike that which came from the other side of the bed where the boy's mother was kneeling. Almost, immediately the boy became calm and sank into a sort of stupor that was like sleep. When he had closed his eyes Baltyne lifted the old dog tenderly and put him outside the room.
