Nervous Breakdown, Paralysis-
The master force which conquered the most perilous afflictions and enabled him to endure amazing hardships, says Captain Henderson, derived entirely from Phosferine. Exposed by his adventurous life to an extraordinary series of misfortunes, from being disabled in action, to sunstroke, enteric fover, and paralysis of the legs, this gallant officer was yet able, entirely owing to the aid of Phosferine, to leave the hospital and fight through to the end of the Boer War! Under blows which make men reel and fall, Captain Henderson was so upheld by the vitalising and bracing qualities of Phosferine, that actually on his return home he was robust and vigorous enough to win four military prizes is ons day, including the famous Victoria Cross Cupi
Cured with Signal Success.
Captain D. E. Henderson, r, Marino Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin, writes:- "During the late Boer War, I had a severe shock from lightning, and an injury to the spine through my horse being killed in action and rolling on top of me. In India, some years previously, I had an attack of sun- stroke, and was fire mouths in hospital with Enteric Fever. These troubles told upon me, and ultimately resulted in a complete nervous breakdown when in Pretoria. I was admitted to hospital when I bad lost the use of my legs. I was treated for neuritis and sent out only partly cured, and then started taking Phosferine systematically and regularly. The benefit I received was marvellous; in two months time I was back in the field and fought right through until the end of the war. Owing to a great financial loss, which preyed on thy mind, I had a second break- down, and the doctor told me that I would probably be paralysed for life. I thought again of Phosferine, and after using it about three weeks my strength gradually returned and the frightful depression and weakness left me. The proof of which is that, in the military sports, I won four prises in One day, including the Victoria Cross cup."July 14, 1911.

THE STOLEN HING.
BY
MRS. CAMPBELL PRAED. (Author of "My Australian Girlhood,"
etc.).
Outside Victoria Station & young-old lady who had twisted her ankle and waj obviously in pain, tried vainly to attract the attention of porter, policeman or ca driver. She carried a dressing-bag and a sheaf of roses suggesting the return from a week-end visit, and she used her unbrella for a support to her dragging foot, An attractive woman, though in her forties, with a refined ince, dreamy, myopic eyes of limpid blue, dark Inshes and brows, a delicate complexion and cloudy greyish hair, the hue of wood-ashes, A grey gauze veil, twisted round her toque framed the sweet face becomingly, her slim, almost girlish figure showed te advantage in a grey tailor-made dress, a little shabby but of admirable cut.
I'd love to come and make sure you're all right. Do let me !"
The lace was so boyish, the interest su frank that Miss Arminell relaxed, and gave a weak little langh.

He protested.

Miss Artinell fairly gave way.

Now, despairing of amistance, she signalled to a shoe-black tear by, and, is a gentle voice, asked him to call a four-wheeler. The boy shook his head. For at that moment two young gentlemen in erge nits and straw hats. each with a rose in his botton-hole, hurried up, the elder of whom pushed the younger forward and bade the shoe-black clean his boots and look as sharp as possible.
Right you are! We'll turn up you may be sure, shan't we, Westmacott?" for the other lad had come up shyly and now responded to the invitation rather sulkily Miss Arminell thought.
“He's on why as rabbit poking out of a warren,"
1. said Harrison.
Now don't you scowl, oldchan. We'll be there, Miss Arminell-half-past four--30, Grace Court, near Addison Road Station. Thank yea, Miss Arminell-All right, cabby"

It seemed inaccountable that Aashing association taking her back nearly twenty years. For the lover of her youth, of whom for an instant the dark youth had reminded her, had been of quité a differ. ent type.
The elder of the youths, who was the fair one, took off his hat to Miss Arminell, and said in a frank school-boy manner:
She forgot the increasing pain of her foot during the rest of the drive, think- ing of kim-the man whom, at twenty- two, she was to have married; whom she had adored and who had jilted her. broken her heart and for several years driven her insane.
"Didn't you want a four-wheeler? I'll That was the tragedy of Rose Arminell's get you one while my friend, is having his life. booth blacked," and he was off and hailing a cab driver before Miss Arminell could make any answer:
While the driver he secured was getting down luggage and disputing over the fare, Miss Arminell thanked the young gentle man, and when he asked her if he could see after her luggage, told him she had only her dressing-bag and begged him not to let her detain him.
"Oh, that doesn't matter." We're only just up from Hampshire-came by the same train as you--I saw you getting out and was nearly coming up to see if I could do anything. Haven't you hart your foot Miss Arminell explained that she had twisted her ankle on her way to the station that morning and that it was just beginning to gain her a little.
Bad Tuck!" said the youth.
He had been an Australian squatter. who had wooed her in England and had Igone back on the understanding that she was to come out and marry him a year later. The week before she was to start a unblegram informed her that he bad married another woman.
The shock drove her mad. When they let her out of the sanatorium, cured, she was a prematurely aged woman of thirty- onc, entirely alone in the world. Since the day that the blow had fallen, she had heard nothing of James Goring,

nine gave me a cheque for a week's spree in London, and I've brought my friend there to cheer him up a bit. He's failed in an exam, and had a row with his people, and he has got the hump in con- sequence. We're regular muntry bump- kins both of us, and he's having a shine put on his boots before going to the Exhibition."
The dark lad with his boot on the shoe- block shot a resentful glance at his friend,
Oh, shut up, will you?"
All right, old chap," returned the fair one cheerfully and whispered confidential ly to Miss Arminell," I told you he'd got the bump."
Miss Armindl marmured sympathetical, ly that she hoped he'd enjoy himself and forget his trouble; and just then the four wheeler signalled to them, another cab being in the way.
The young man held out his arm, but she refused it.
Oh, no, thank you." Then, as he per- sisted. "But you may take my bag if you like"
He relieved her of the dressing-bag and of the bunch of roses. Leaning heavily on her umbrella Miss Arminell bobbled to the four-wheeler. At the door, the youth hesitated and/leaning towards her with his hand on the fastening and his eyes fixed on her face, exclaimed impulsively
"Excuse me, but I'm pretty positive we've met before-don't you remember at Wray Lodge-a garden party last sum- mer ?"
"I don't know any Wray Lodge. You are mistaken."
"Oh, surely, I aldn't mistake your face. You're Miss Folliot "
Indeed I am not. My name is Armi

He looked at her amazedly.
You astonish.me.
The resemblance is quite extraordinary. Ah! Allow me?" for she put her hand to the door. He helped her into the cab with great care, placing the bag and the flowers on the seat beside her, and asking where he
should bid the man drive.
"Please tell him 50, Grace Court, near Addison Road Station.”
The young man hesitated again and
said awkwardly :
"I say, I don't like your going off alone with your foot hurting you it does hurt?" She admitted the fact with a wan smile, "Do let me help you home?" Miss Arminell stiffened You're very kind, but I wouldn't think of troubling
you,**
Honour bright, it's no trouble. Fact is, I'm used to looking after a sister who's lame an accident-her spine, you know and I can't get over the notion that you're Miss Ffolliot. If you won't let me see you home, mayn't I call to-morrow and ask if you're all right.?""
You are very kind," repeated Miss Arminell; but I shouldn't dream of troubling you.

Harrison, the elder, full of boyish fun and prettily solicitous for his hostess, whom he re-i proached for not letting him come home with her and, call the doctor Ruoner. He made friends at user with Miss Ripley, who observed that only nice country lads would see any fun in taking tea with two old maids in a West Kensington flat, at which Harrison laughed uproariously. He showed an immense interest in all the domestic arrangements and seemed to re- gard the whole proceeding as a delightful joke. Westmacott, the younger boy, laugh- ed and chattered likewise, but Miss- Arminell felt that his gaiety was rather forced, and attributed the air of surly defiance and of embarrassment under- lying it, to shyness and discomfiture over his recent failure in his examination, This boy at once attracted and repelted her and she was again thrilled by that indeinable flash of expression which reminded her of the tragedy of her youth. Harrison chaffed Westmacott for his country appetite and manners and told absurd stazies against theirselves of their misadventures at the Exhibition the pre- vious evening. They ate quantities of bread and butter and huge chunks of cake, and not till he had satisfied his hunger did Harrison begin prowling about the room looking at the curios and examining Miss Arminell's Chippendale chairs and settee.
