Just go in with us this once and see if you don’t get more real fun out here in one night than you do in there in a week." “Oh, I couldn’t Jack; you mustn’t ack me, ’said Calvin, drawing back from Jack s hand, which had been laid But again he was stopped by Jack, who said in a. persuasive voice,â€"â€"-â€" ‘ on hxs arm. I “ Now, Calvin, confess you’re just a. leetle bit afraid to join us,” said Jack, in a sneering tone. “ Come, don’t. be “ \Vell, tfien, just show the boys you’re not afraid to do what they’re not afraid to do.” a. boeby, but show the boys that you can be as brave as them.” “ But that’s not brave, boys, to do as you are doing." Calvin never could tell just haw it came about, but by ceaxing and ridiculing they finally persuaded him to be one of them that night. The new preacher had come in a buggy. and the boys’ evil plan was to take all the nuts than held the vehicle in place off the ends of the axles, and then hide themselves and,watch tne result. The moon didn’t rise till late, and in the darkness the thing could be easuly done without 4fear of detection. “I don’t. focl a bit right about it boys. For a. little I’d go and put them nuts back again ;” said Calvin, while boys.

The boys had been sufficiently cunn- ing to put the greater part of their work upon Calvin and a hard enough time had they of it; too hard to be balked of their sport. “ What are you a~talkin’ about, Calvin 2" said Jack, laying a detaining hand on his arm. “Don’t you go and Spoil everything now. Besides it’s too late ; meetin’s broke, for I hear ’em a- - ’ n COHHD out. As soon as service closed Farmer Lowe made his way up to the front and presented himself to his old friend. The minister gladly accepted his in- vitation, and the happy little group moved toward the door. It was decided to put Jennie in the buggy with the minister, and the farm- er and his wife would follow on foot. ‘7‘WIfldid’nt see anything 0’ Calvin, father, did you?’ asked Mrs. Lowe, when they had reached the road. i “ No; but there ain ’t nothin’ strange ’bout that, seein ’s thar was such a big crowd out. “ I hope nothin’s happened him, but somehow I feel on easy.’ “ Oh, he’s alright mother? Trust Calvin for takin’ care of himself V said the farmer, reassuringly. “ There, I hear the preachnr’s buggy, boys ! Now for some fun !’ And Jack chuckled. “ Lock, there he is turnin’ the corner.’ The moon was up now. and shining in a cloudless sky ; and the boys, frsm their place of concealment m a. clump of bushes, could see the buggy quite distinctly as it came around the turn in the road just below the church. “There goes the first wheel I Cracky! there’s the next in that mud hole ! Jericho, boys, I say, look at that there horse ! What’s it a. aimin’ at ? Good Lord ! if the animal aint a-runnin’ of}, and what ’11 become 0’ the preacher? W'ho ever’d a thought anything 0' that kind ’ud a-happened.’ With trembling knees and fast beat- ing heart did Jack stand and view the serious turn his "sport had taken. The other boys crouched about him, unable to move a muszle. “ There is some one in there with him. " continued Jack, as the frightened horse and broken buggy drew nearer in their wild flight. “ Look, Calvin.I do believe it’s your sister! Yes, Calvin’s eyes had seen before Jack spoke, and the scream that he heard as the buggy flashed past left no room for doubt. That voice belonged THE ‘WATCHMAN LlNDSAY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 4392. to his sisterâ€"hls sister, that he would have died for 1 What was that roaring sound in his ears, and those balls of fire dancing before his eyes? How queer they looked! What was the matter with his feet and legs? They seemed glued to the ground, or had they sua’denly turned to stone? It seemed hours that he crouched there, unable to move hand or foot, hut in reality only a. few seconds had elapsed when suddenly, by a supreme effort, be broke the spell. With a bound he was up and flying down the road after the fast disappearing buggy. It soon turned another bend in the highway and his keen eyes caught sight of an object lying by the roadside, the sight of which almost stopped the beating of his heart. Fear and hope lent speed to his fast flying feet, and he quickly reached the motionless little heap lying in the moonlight. “ Jennie ! O Jennie ! My precious little s'Ster. ' You can’t be dead ! Open your eyes and tell me that you know me ' Jennie! tell me that you forgixe me! Oh, you mustnt die' Lord Lord, give her lrack to me !’ The voice of anguish died away in a wail. He had knelt and taken the helpless form in his arms and passion- ately strained it to his breast: the pretty blue eyes were closed, and a crimson mark was across the right temple. How like‘death she looked! But there might be life yet, and he was Wasting precious moments l ere in idle meanings. Starting to his feet, he cried, ‘Help! help!’ with all the strength of his young,r lungs.- Calvin with [Yis unconscious burden clasped tightly in his arms, mm to meet the crowd that had started after the runaway horse, and as he came up to them, he cried in a. voice of agonyâ€" “Yes, we’re comin’!’ answeled the voice of Mr. Cole, one of Farmer Lowe’s near neighbors. “ 0 Mr. Cole ! I believe she’s dead ! And if she is, what shall I doâ€"what shall I do 3' “Thar, thar, Calvin, my lad, don't take it so to heart. It may be just a faint.‘ Mr. Johnson here joined them; he had succeeded in stoppingthefrightened horse, and had hurried hack to ascer- tain the condition of Jennie. He ex- plained that whenvthe animal first took fright he told the child to grasp tightly the arm rest of the buggy seat, thus leaving him free. Win-n the last; wheel dropped off, the horse gave a. terrible lunge which loosened the child’s hold, and she was thrown into the road. Jennie was tenderly carried home and the doctor hurriedly sent for. When he came he pronounced her injuries serious perhaps fatal. Besides the bruises on her head. her spine had sustained 9. very great injury, which should she recover, would in all pro- bability result in making her a cripple for life. During the long, sad days and night when the young life hung between this and another world, poor Calvin suffer- ed agonies of mind as keen as the bodily sufferings endured by his little sister. His white face and anguished eyes were seldom absent from her bed- side, and his grief was so touching that it drew forth the deepest sympathy of the many friends and neighbors who came 2n. He had sinned, and swift and terrible came the punishment, the justice of which he could not deny. Often dur- ing those long days and nights would he ask himself, with almost intolerable regret, why he had allowrd himself to yield to such influence. Why, ah, why will we be so weak when we should be strong 2 u»â€" vâ€"â€" Though Calvin lived to be a. good and famous man, he Curried through his life the marks of that last greatest sin of his. It cast a cloud over him that he felt till his last dav. Jennie lived, but she was a helpless cripple all her days. Calvin devoted his life to her care. Never was a brother more devoted to a sister, and he was rewarded by her deepest love and gratitude. In him she saw per- fection. She never knew the part he had in the work of that terrible night. No one ever knew but his father and mother and his companions in sin. The boys, even among themselves, never spoke ot the terrible results of their conduct, but by tacit consent agreed that they had gone far enough in the pursuit of wicked pleasure.

This should be used night: and morning, or perhaps oftener, accord- ing to circumstances, and is recommended as a cure for confirmed catarrh. though for the latter a persistent. use for months will probably be required, and the water employed should, if possible, be slightly warm.
