Continued from editorial page. thought of seeing Amy Colvin again. 1 walked slowly and went out of my way to p: my grandfather’s house, untenanted since his death, and there I paused some minutes, looking up at the shuttered windows and recalling the tragedy which had cut him off in what he used cheerily to call “the prime of old age.” We found him dead upon the floor of his chamber one morning, and his hands were clinched tightly upon the collar and sleeve of a rough coat of dark cloth, This garment was a burglar’s. My grandfather had dis- covered the man in his room, had sprung from his bed to grapple with the thief and had died of his own too violent exertions, for his heart had been weakened by a recent serious illne We discovered that the burglar d entered by a window of my room and, after.relieving me of a considerable sum of money, had passed to my father’s apartment, where the swift and fatal struggle had occurred and whence the iutruder, stripped of his coat, had escaped into the night. Mrs. Colvin’s house, when 1 came to it, looked cheery and homelike in com- parison with the great empty mansion that I had just left. A servant an- gwered my summons and greeted me with surprise and voluble joy. She had been for many years in my grand- father’s employ and had a strong sen- timent of loyalty to the family. R “There's nobody at home,” said she after paying her respects to me. “But Mrs. Colvin will be back soon. Miss Amy and Mr. Durland have gone to the ball game.” Mr. Durland was a young man who, upon my recommendation, had been taken as a boarder by Mrs. Colvin shortly after her husband’s death, fo it seemed advisable for her to increase her income ia this way. He was a writer and had made some successes of late, as I happened to know, but it had been nearly two years since I had seen him. “Mr. Durland is still here?” said L “Indeed he is, for good and all,” the woman answered, “Didn’t you know that Miss Amy was engaged to him?” 1 shook my head. “Yes,” said she. “They're to be mar- ried next month. He's getting along fine now. He's writing plays.” “Plays?’ I repeated, scarce knowing that I spoke. She came to my side and pointed through an open window. “He writes 'em in there,” said she. “There’s his table and his typewriter.” “Do you suppose,” said I, “that Mz, Durland would objéct to. my using nis typewrifer for about two minutes, while I'm walting? I would like to write a Httle note.” She made haste to show me into the author’s study, and’ presently I had written upon a sheet of heavy type- writer ‘paper the words, “In payment of the debt which you may not remem- ber.” : The result was even more conclusive than I had hoped. The irregularities that had appeared in the original were faithfully reproduced in my copy. Be- yond a doubt the line accompanying the money which had been sent to me had been written with this instrument. I returnied to the veranda, and pres- ently Mrs. Colvin came. She greeted me with sincere good will and without a trace of embarrassment. “Mrs, Colyin,” said I, “there is a small matter of business between us. I have recently been led to review the old accounts, and I find that there has been an error. I owe you something like a hundred dollars.” She regarded me shrewdly, with an interest which I would venture to call affectionate. “How did you learn that I was press- ed for money?”’ she asked, and then, after a pause: “But you needn’t tell me. It is very kind of you to offer me this help, but I do not need it. I bhad to make an unexpected payment”— “And by a singular coincidence,” 1 interrupted, “I received an unexpected payment. The sum was $969.” “And you don’t know who sent it,” she sald. “How odd! This seems like some romantic restitution. Have you ever been robbed? WLy, yes, surely— when you lived bere. How much was it that was taken?” “Bight hundred and fifty dollars,” 1 replied. “And this sum?”’ “Was $969.” There was a moment’s silence. Then she said, hesitating, “Could— could there be—interest, perhaps?” Mental arithmetic has been my forte since childhood, but this was the quick- est calculation that ever I made: Eight hundred and fifty dollars, with 6 per cent interest for twenty-eight months, 1.14X8§50=969. I saw it in a flash, and it fairly stunned me. Remember that my experiment with the typewriter had completely satisfied me. Perhaps my decision had been hasty, but it was unmixed with any element of doubt. I was sure that the line accompanying the mysterious pay- ment had been written on Durland’s machine, I was equally sure that Mrs. Colvin had not sent the money and that it had nothing to do with her debt to me. Aside from that debt there was no explanation ot the payment except that which a freak of destiny had led her to suggest, and the exact agree- ment of the figures set the seal of cer- tainty upon this conclusion. Sydney Durland, accepted suitor of the wom- an I loved, had striven to ease his con- selence on the eve of marriage by mak ing this restitution, and in so doing he had put his liberty and perhaps his life into my hands, “Well,” said Mrs. Colvin, smiling, “what do you think of my explana- tion ?” * I made a jest of it and turned her mind away. Muys. Colvin Insisted that I should stay to dinner, and as it had now be come necessary that T should see Dur 1ana I accepted the Invitation. So we passed to indifferent topics of con 77 7 (71 HE PUT IS HAND TO HIS HEART. versation and finally to Amy’s ap- ronching marriage, and 1 heard much se of Durland. “He has changed so much!” said she. “I confess that when he first came here and T began to know him I was almost afraid of him, he bad such despondent and desperate views of life. But he is a different man now.” Some matter of the household de- manded Mrs. Colvin’s attention, and 1 was left alone with harrowing thoughts. [ am a narrow man in my judgment of character and have small faith in reformation. I saw Amy Colvin about to marry a thief and housebreaker, a man of weak principle and criminal tendencies. 1 was aroused from this black rev erie by the sound of Amy’s voice, and, looking through the vine covered trel lis, I saw her at the gate with Durland. He entered alone, and she went on, doubtless upon some errand to a ncigh- bor’s house. I saw how this momen: tary parting tugged at their hearts, 1 read the love in Ler eyes, and my whole being became one agony of bitterness and loss.

Not only did the blood ebb away from®his cheeks, but the bronze of the sun seemed to be washed out of them. He put up his hand to his heart, and his lips fell open. I was amazed at this revelation, for- getting that for him my presence could have only one explanation. He knew nathing of any reason why I should con- nret that secret payment with the Col- vins. Doubtless he was aware that I was his beaten rival, and, as I had long ago ceased to visit that house, he had taken it for granted that I should never come again. This and the expression of my countenance were enough for him. He assumed instantly that I had traced his money back to him and had discov- ered his offense. ‘“Durland,” said I, mand it."” He ascended the steps unsteadily and staggered into the house, beckoning me to follow him, but when we had reached his room I saw that he had regained command of himself. Facing me and speaking in a firm tone he said: “This is my story: I never had any money. When I was in college I got into debt, and—and I stayed in debt. I never owed as much as a thousand dol- lars nor evér saw a day when I was not driven by some obligation and harassed so that I couldn’t put my mind upon my work. Worry killed my earnings. Do you understand that? I suppose not. “In February, two years and four months ago, shortly after I came here to live, my affairs were at their worst. I was menaced by all sorts of petty dis- honor and disgrace. I could not work or sleep or think. My .mind scemed to burst like a soap bubble whenever I tried to hold it upon any problem of my daily life, even the most simple. “Now, if & man can't think, he can’t go on living. He'd better use his last ration- al moment to get out of the game. That's the way it looked to me. I sat in “the truth!

I took a revolver out of my trunk and loaded it and then didn’t know what to do with it. My machinery had run down. “I opened that window and sat there in a freezing draft an hour or more, I guess. By and by I saw a man coming along the street In his shirt sleeves, and it gave me a notion that I was cold, but I hadn’t sense enough to move away from the window. So I sat there and was vaguely surprised to see the man enter the yard and come up on the v Presently he got in through the wind not seeing me, for I had drawn back be nind the curtain. “He walked to the middle of the room, and there was a suit of my clothes lying over a chalir. as about to put on the coat when I him stoop and feel of a knee of his trousers, which was & torn open.

In the trousers were some small tods of the burglar's trade, two handkerchiefs, a lit- tle vial ‘of chloroform and $850 in bills. “So far as 1 remember, I sat and stared at that money all the rest of the night until there came the usual knock upon my door at 7 o'clock to wake me up. I arose and locked the burglar's clothes in my trunk, but the money I put into my pocket. I had a cup of coffee. took the 8 o'clock train for the- city, spent -about $00 in squaring up my debts and came back here in the afternoon. Then I heard of the affalr at your house and realized the. position In which I stood. “It seemed to me, in my muddled state ¢f mind, that the real burglar must be caught and that I could then come for- ward safely and tell my story. The days went by; the man was never found. He 1ust have stolen some clothes from an- tther house and escaped safely from this town. By the time that this dawned up- on me I had lost my opportunity, or so it seemed to me. At any rate, I dared not —1 dared not tell my story. “There, Marshall; there's the truth.

We exchanged a glance; then Durland called, “Come in.” It was Amy, and she gave a little cry of surprise at the sight of me. “I have Interrupted you,” said she after a friendly greeting. for no doubt we showed the effects of a strained Inter- view. “Not in the least,” saild I. “We have discussed a bit of business and have come to a most satisfactory understanding.

PHONE 207 BEMIDJI_ Our opeoinlty: Frosh Eggs Roe @ Markusen and Orcamery Butber, PHONE 207 BEMIDJI Not so very long ago, a popular| magazine pvblished an editorial article in which the writer erted, in sub- stance, that all disease should be re- garded as criminal. Certain it is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind_is due to the violation of cer- tain of Nature’s laws, which, if under- stood and implicitly followed, would result in the prevention of much of the sickness and suffering of humanity. But to say that all sickness should regarded as criminal, must, on a little sober refle appeai to every rea- sonable and intelligent Individual as radically wrong. ‘Thousands suffer from contagious and infectious diseases most innocently and unconsciously contracted. Other thou- sands suffer’ and die of cancerous affec- tions, the cause of which no medical man has yet been wise enough to fer- ret out and determine, and which can not, therefore, be avoided. Then too, many times stress of circumstances compel people to expose themselves to various disease-producing agencies, such as malaria, bad air in overheated factor- fes, coal mines, and many other situations, and surely those who suffer_therefrom should not be branded as criminals, In-so-far as se is contracted or elf from harmful ex- over-eating, intemperance and like indnlgencies and debauchery, we think, with our editor friend, that it should be regarded as little less than criminal. On the other hand, we thiuk it would be harsh, unsympathetic, cru. criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over-worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household ceres and burdens which she.is obliged to struggle along under until she succumbs to the strain and over-exertion, and suffers from weaknesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other derangemeuts peculiar to her sex. The too frequent bearing of children, with its exacting demands upon the sys- tem, coupled with the care, worry and labor of rearing a large family, is often the cause of weakness, derangements and debility which the mother has to bear and which are aggravated by the many household cares, and the hard, and never- ending work which she is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce, the maker of that world-famed remedy for women’s peculiar {lis—Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preseription— says that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this class of maladies is the fact that the poor, overworked houserwife can not get the needed rest from her many household cares end labor to enable her to secure from the use of his “Pres- cription ” its full benefits. Itis a matter of frequent experience, he says, in his extensive practice in these cases, to meet with those in which his treatment fails by reason of the patient’s inability to ab- stain from hard work long enough to be cured. With those suffering from pro- lapsus, ante-version apd retro-version of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs, it is very neces- sary that, in addition to taking his “Fa- vorite Prescription” they abstain from being very much, or for long periods, on their.feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much ont-door air as possible, with mod- erate, light exercise is also very import- ant. It is Dr. Pierce’s observation that many housewives suffer much in a weakened condition of their system from too close confinement in-doors. Often the kitchen, where they spend most of their time, is flly ventilated-and the bad air and over- heating thereof act most unfavorably upon the woman’s strength, until she finds herself suffering from various weak- gmes &l'mnde{(ii ing-d sensations own pains, or dragging-down sen: th:? a?re extremely %ard to bear. A ca- “tarrhal, pelvic drain, of most debilitating and disagreeable nature, is a common symptom of the corgested or IS DISEASE A CRIME? condition of the lining membranes of tha pelvic organs, attended, perhaps, with tenderness and pain in these regions. Now, while all the foregoing disagree- able symptoms and sensations will gen- erally yield to the faithful and somewhat persistent use of Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, to realize the very best results from its use, the patient must, as far as possible, abstain from over-work, worry, and too close confinement in-doors. ‘To such women as are not seriously out of health, but who have exacting duties to perform, either in the way of house- hold duties or in social duties and func- tions which seriously tax their strength, as well as to nursing mothers, the “Fa- vorite Preseription” has proved a most valuable supporting tonic and invigorat- ing nervine. By its timely use, much serious_sickness and suffering may be avoided. The operating table and the lllr;?eons' kuife, would, it is believed, seldom have to be resorted to if this most valuable woman’s remedy were resorted to in good time. The "Favorite Prescrip- tion ” has proven a great boon to expectant mothers by preparing the system for the coming of baby, thereby rendering child- birth safe, easy, and almost painless. Bear in_mind, please, that Dr. Pierce's vorite Prescription is not a secret or patent medicine, against which the most intelligent people ave quite naturally a e, because of the uncertainty as to their harmless character, but is a medi- cine of known composition, a full list of all its ingredients being printed, in plain English, on every bottle wrapper. An examination of this list of ingredients will disclose the fact that it is non-alcoholie in its composition, chemically pure glye- erine taking the place of the commonly used alcohol, in its make-up. In this con- nection it may not be out of place to state thut the “Favorite Prescription” of Dr, Pierce is the only medicine put up for the cure of woman’s peculiar weaknesses and ailments, and sold through druggists, that does not contain alcohol, and that too in large quantities, Furthermore, it is the only medicine for woman’s special dis- eases, the ingredients of which have the unanimous endorsement of all the leading medical writers and teachers of all the several schools of practéce, and that too as remedies for the ailments for which “Favorite Prescription” is recommended. A little book of these endorsements will be sent to amy address, post-paid, and absolutely free if you request same by fiosml card, or letter, of Dr. R. V. Pieree, uffalo, N. Y. Don’t forget that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, for woman’s weaknesses and delicate ailments, is not a patent or secret medicine, being the “Favorite Prescrip- tion” of a regularly educated and gradu- ated phgsiclau, engaged in the practice of his chosen specialty—that of diseases of women—that its ingredients are printed in plain English on every bqtllo-wrlpfwr; that it is the only medicine especially designed for the cure of woman’s diseases that contains no aleohol, and the only one that has a professional endorsement worth more than all the so-called “testi- monials” ever published for other med- icines. An invitation is extended by Dr. Pierce o every sick and ailing woman to consult him by letter. There is absolutely no charge or fee for this.
