ROMANCE OF THE YUKON. “an Falls flelr lo $25.000- While Roughing“. The ste er ” Topeka," which arrived from AlasZQon W'ednesday, brought down the story on a strange romance oi the Yukon, says the Vancouver \Vorld. Thomas Brown, more familiarly known as Shoe- maker Brown, is one of the many fortune hunters who went into the wilds of Alaska some years ago in search of the precious gold. He drifted about the many mining hamlets along the Yukon, and finally got into Forty<mile. He had many times told his companions that he had Cherokee blood in his veins, and they always attribute his quickness to resent an affront or use his gun, as due to his Indian mixture. Accord- ing to the Alaskan News which publishes the romance, William Ogilvie, in charge of the Canadian boundary survey, now under headway, first met Shoemaker Brown on the Yukon river in 1888, little knowing at that time he would become an important factor in sending him back to his home and a joyful family. Mr. Ogilvie camped near Brown’s solitary but for several weeks, and each time they met Brown would enquire cautiously about Canadian affairs. Mr. Ogilvie noticed Brown‘s preoccupied be- havior, and so invited him to come to his camp and spend an evening. Upon Brown finding that his companion had lately been to Toronto, he became less reserved, and seemed debating with himself about making a. confession. Prior to that Ogilvie had asked him if it was true that he was part Cherokee Indian, as the fairness of his com- plexion would not warrant such a relation- ship. But Brown said it was true, and that he had been born on the Cheroxee strip,his father being a white man, and his mother a. squaw. Finally one evening Brown came to Ogilvie’s tent, and said he wanted to have a talk with him alone. Brown slyly stated that he had purposely A Toronto LIED ABOUT His ORIHIN for reasons of his own. He was born in Ireland, and his father was living in Tor- i GLlGllll MlRlilLE. A SCOTCH LASSIE RESCUED BY A CANADIAN. “PI‘ life Wni‘ Despnlrrd OI-inhiort to l'nlnllnfl Shells and "car!

The case of“ Little Nell," whose mirac- ulous cure Was reported in the newspapers, with a. subsequent letter from the Rev. Samuel Harding, is but one in a series of similar cases in Glasgow. The latest is that of Miss Lizzie Duncan, 3 young woman who has been snatched back to life. She was in what is termed a “declme”â€"wast- ing away by inches before the eyes of her parents, and her sad condition seems to have been known to a number of people. Consequently when she was found to have escaped the threatened death, and, to be, apparently, as well as anyone in Glasgow, a. tremendous impetus was given to the pre‘ valent talk, and an Echo reporter was directed to make a searching investigation, with the result that this strange story was entirely confirmed. Arriving at 205 Stirling Road, the report- er was conducted into the presence of Mrs. Duncan by a rosy-checked young woman, who proved to be Miss Duncan, who looked in no way like an invalid. “ This is the lassie," said the mother. “Heaven knows that a i'iir'iclc has been Wrought upon her. Eighteen .iulllilihl ago Lizzie began to pine away. The color left her entirely, and she appeared to be as weak as water. One Sunday morning she; said, ‘Oh, mother, I cunna rise to-day," and before she had got out the words lier‘ whiteness became like that of a corpse, and she fell away into a faint. I Sl‘HL for the} doctor who said she had heart disease. ‘ “'hen he saw her again she had grown worse and the doctor said, ‘ The poor iassie is very far through.’ We expected that poor Lizzie would not live long. There was no color in her face. She was wastingr away, her cheek bones sticking through as if they would break the skin. Her arms and legs were just bones. The doctor said, ‘Lizzie may stand the winter, but if she does, that will be all.’ One day, however, I chanced to read of several cases in which dying persons had been restored to life by a new scientific methodâ€"some pills, not like other medicine, but altogether of ex- 'traordinary Virtue, called Dr. Williams‘ l onto, when he left home 18 years ago. He requested Mr. Ogilvie to call upon his father at 8284 Sally street, and tell him where he was. All that time he had not sent a. letter or heard a word from home. Ogilvis assent- ed to his request, and the following winter found himself in Toronto. He hunted for Thomas Brown, his friend's father. far and near, for the shoe store on Sally street, but he could find no evidences of the place. There was no Sally street, and the alley of that name had numbers only to is. He finally gave up the search. One day he was talking with the proprietor of a. jewellery store, when an old man walked in and greet-ed them. He was one of the earliest pioneers of Toronto, and was so introduced to Ogilvie. Thinking he might get some in- ormation from the pioneer, he made known his search for the store at 828-1 Sally street. be old ma replied that the store was at he old locliion, but Sally street had been hanged to Chestnut, in compliance with he wishes of the wealthy residents. Sure nough Mr. Ogilive found the shoe store at . 284 Chestnut street, with the signboard on the door bearing “ Thomsu Brown." Hel alked in a. A sunny~haired girl of 14 s miners stood behind the counter. He ecould See the striking resemblance she Bore to Shoemaker Brown. He inquired about her folks. He finally asked if she knew that Thomas Brown, who had left so many years ago was alive. The girl became all ruptures. “Are you Uncle Thomas ‘3" she exclaimed, rushing forward to meet Ogilvie. But when told he was not, but only brought word of him, she still persist- ed in calling him uncle. “Come, let us go to mamma,” she insisted, as he was led away. He sat down in the parlor while the girl ran back to the kitchen and told her mother that l UNCLE THOMAS HAD COME BACK . i l The married sister of the lost one rushed in, pale faced, but quickly saw that he was‘ not her brother. Explanations followed. He learned that Brown hsd left home 18‘ years ago, and had never been heard from since. It was the constant wish of the? aged father to see the boy before dying. Brown had left home because his young wife would make visits to her parents in Michigan, and would compel him lo 0 after her. She also had difficulty with her husband’s relatives over trival matters. The abandoned wife had been supported by the old man, and the two children had been given a. good schooling. The father and sister made Ugilvie promise to send a letter to the last Brown, praying him to return home, as there was $25,000 still intact, his portion of the estate. Ogilvie sent the letterin ’90 in care of one Mc- Qiithin. to forward it to Brown. It reached McQuestin in ’01, but Brown had left the Yukon river for Juneau. The letter followed im out, and in 1891!, .T. ’1‘. Field, the post- aster, handed the letter to him. Brown ‘ead it with tears dropping from his eyes, nd looking over to Field stated that he as going home to Toronto, as the folks ad sent for him. Mr. Ogilive never learned whether he returned home in time i o comfort the declining years of his aged f ther, who mourned him for dead these any years. The news brought by Ogilvio as not divulged to the wife, as they ought best to relieve her of the long siting of doubt and despair, before they ould hope to reach him and have him I ome again. In the hearts of that family illiam Ogilvie ever lingers with heartfelt g stitude. l l l â€"â€"â€"+â€"~â€"â€"- ,Benjamm H. “'ells, a resident of “'estl Iubeck, Me., in eating oranges several weeks ago, got one of the seeds lodged in I h s throat, and was unable to remove it. Lister his throat began to swell. He obtained medical advice, and was informed that the seed had sprouted, and must be removed at once. The other day he went to Boston for a surgical operation for its. removal, but the report was that Mr. “'ells can get no relief, as the seed, instead of being lodged in the throat, is in the lungs and cannot be reached. . sure cure for cornsl may go together, and l in long.

You can ask any of the neighbors,” said Mrs. Duncan in conclusion. “or any person on the street and they will confirm my story.” “I am stronger than ever I was in my life,” added the daughter, “yet Ican hardly describe how ill I was. 1 was certainly dying. I could neither go up nor down stairs: I was afraid to walk on account of the fluftering sensation at my heart. I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as my mother 112.5 described, and feel that they saved my li e.” Miss \Vood the lady who drew the re- porter’s attention to the case said that the parents had their daughter’s photograph taken for they thought that she would soon be sleeping in her grave. Lizzie once visited her, and was so weak that she had to carry her back to her house. “The change.” said Miss Wood in conclusion, “ has been wonderful. She is now a son~ sie lass. and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have been an instrument in God’s own hands." â€"â€"â€"-â€".â€".â€"â€"_ Nothing Hunts Out Corns Like tight boots.
