I found one of j o u r circulars recom-mending y o u r Extract of Red Clover , s o w e n t to the drug store a n d bought a bot t l e and smal l box of the solid ex tract as a sa lve , p u t t i n g it on fresh t w i c e a day . About the third day it began to heal , so I c o n t i n u e d the use of it for about three w i e k a . both i n i e m a l i y and by outward app l i c i t i on and a m very happy to s l a t e that it h e s ent ire ly cured me.

CHAPTER V. tTWCIJI PHOTS DASGr.IL

For a moment poor Arthur, w h o Vr.cw n o t h i n g of Isiats. and bud never been on o n e before , unions it was a N e w York ferry boat, stood irresolute and fright-ened wi thout the s l i g h t e s t idea of what had happened or what b e ought to d a T h e cry that be beard bad n o t sounded a bit like- Unole Pl i in's voloc. and If i t was bis. what had booome o l h im? H e was not on the Isjat, nor, so f*r as Ar-thur uouM disuovcr, w a s b e in the water. Upon aee lng the bridge overhead t h e boy readi ly oomprehended that the Shook t h a t bad flung him to the floor was canned by t h e boat d r i f t i n g against one of it., great s tone p iers : but t h i s did not exp la in I n. 1c Pbin'sdlKapix ^r.nce ,

" H y i r 1 Is. h o n e y , " c a m e a f e e b l e vo ice from ibo o ther end of t h e lioat, and Ar-thur sprang joy fu l l y in that direct ion.

As the boat irM s w u n g around on Btriking tbe bridge pier, i ts a f t e r end now pointed down stream, and Arthur bad been s tand ing at t h e bow. gaz ing back on the place wjiere b e woe afraid Unc l e P h l n bud b e e n l e f t . N o w , us b e reached the o i l ier end o( the boat, bo saw t b e old man's w h i t e bead and bluclc face, just on the surface of tbe water but a abort d i s tance from where h e stood, l i e s e e m e d to lie s i t t i n g astride of some object , to w h i c h b e c l u n g des-perate ly .

For a moiimnt Arthur did not Jn t b e l e a s t comprehend t h e s i tuat ion , and could not lumglne w h a t It was to which U n c l e I'hlr. was d i n g i n g . W h e n i t sud-d e n l y ooourrod to b lm t h a t i t was tbe long meer luv s w e e p , t h e o ther e n d of which projected above b i s bead up over tbe roof of t b e cabin, h i s first impul se ; and tbe o n e w h i c h he acted, w a s to spr ing to Ui l s inlMiard end, and throw b i s w e i g h t upon lu with tbe idea of l i f t i n g the o ld n e g r o d e a r of the water.

t ime tor the old man to grasp It as b e c a m e l o the surface.

With great tl lff lcultr he s t rugg led Into h i s former posit ion, and, t u r n i n g a re-proachful gaze on Arthur, said:

"Don't you do It agin, h o n e y , P s e no • and aald If t h e y would go d o w n with doubt you means all r ight , but anodder h im to where b e l ived, he would read It fling l i k e dat ar w ould drown d e o l * i to t h e m out of h i s hook.
