BEAUTIFUL WOMEN The Importance that Attaches to the Care of the Blgod If One Wants Bright Eyes and a Clear Complexion. Every sensible woman naturally wishes. to appear attractive. She knows the value of bright eyes, delicate complexion and lively spir She knows also that ood health is at the basis of her charms, ind that good blood is the source of good health " Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion which is the admiration of all who know Asked if she could make any sug- gestions that would be helpful to others less fortunate, she said : ““My complexion would not have pleased you, if you had seen it two years ugo. It was then about as bad as it ould be, and it gave me a great deal of lissatisfaction. If you want a good »mplexion you must take care of your health, especially of the condition of your blood. My health was at that time completely broken down. I was nervous, had frequent headaches, a torpid liver and a great deal of pain in that region. I suffered also from indigestion. It was clear that my blood was in bad condition, for pimples broke out all over my face.” “Tt is hard to realize that, for there isn’t the slightest trace of such blem- ishes now.”’ ‘ “Tt was unfortunately quite other- wise then, anda long time passed before I found anything that gave me any re- lie I became very weak and listless. ‘The doctor’s medicine did me no good, and I took a number of highly recom- mended tonics with no better result. As soon, however, as I began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People my complexion cleared up, and after I had taken two boxes there was not a sign of a pimple left on my face. My cheeks became rosy, I gained flesh ard have had rfect health ever since.” 2osy cheeks and sparkling eyes are signs of healthy blood. They have c uot only in the case of Miss Conway, whose home is at 1241 East Eighth street, mere Canton, Obio, but to thousauds of women for whom Dr, Willjuns’ Pink Pills have made new blood. ‘hereisuo surer way for you to obtain them, than to buy a box of these pills from any drug- gist and try them for yourself.

He who also knew that Helen Beauclair was not dead, when all declared she was, was Lord Oscar Genlis.” Here Sosia exchanged a glance with the concealed noble, “Dis- guised as a footman, Lord Genlis was temporarily in the service of the ex- pectant bridegroom, and having en- tered the church with the retinue of servants of the bridal party, watched eagerly for the moment when Helen Beauclair should fall as dead. He had once loved Lady Ida, the mother of Helen—he stfll says he has a devour- ing passion for Lady Ida,” added Sosia, with a shrug of his shoulders, which caused the eyes of the hidden noble to sparkle with suppressed. rage. “But whether he loves Lady Ida now or hot, he was there in St. Nicholas church, to time exactly the moment when Lady Ida’s daughter should fall in apparent | death. Lady Ida, though over thirty years of age, is still a woman of splen- ' did beauty and immense wealth—two very potent reasons why Lord Genlis should still love her, or desire to be her husband and master.” As Sosia uttered these last words he stroked his beard, and darted a fox-like glance at the screen. “There is another in this room be- sides yourself and this woman,” said Helen, but not turning her eyes from Sosia’s face, nor evincing any emo- tion. “Ha! lady?” “I read it in your face. But it does niot matter. Speak on! The sound of your voice and your story seem to hold my. thoughts together. If I can. once fix them upon something recognizable to my memory, I feel that this swim- ming and reeling in my head—this groping and floating sensation of my mind—will cease.” “Very good! I see that your mental power is improving. All will come back to your brain suddenly when it does return, and as you will then re- member all I am telling you now, I shall not have to explain matters twice. Lord Genlis desires to achieve two ends: One to obtain such power over Lady Ida as to force her to marry him; the other to obtain possession of Helen Beauclair and force her to be- come the wife of his son, Capt. Wil- ford Osred. A sentence of imprison- ment hangs over the head of Capt. Osred, so that he dares not appear openly in England. Nor is it safe for Lord Genlis to show himself in London. He needs money—thousands of pounds more than he has. Neither he nor his | son is very scrupulous as to the means by which each may obtain a handsome wife and gréat wealth. They have heard of Zeno Sosia, the so-called Sor cerer of St. Giles. Disguised as two common sailors, they visit’ Socia se- cretly and make known their desires. ‘already Sosia has had his attention di- | rected toward Lady Ida and her daugh- ter. Lord de Lavet has also heard of | the Sorcerer—has visited him and told of a desire to wed Helen Beauclair. | Sosia promises to aid Lord de Lavet— | so far as to place him before the bridal altar with Helen—and for this service Lord de Lavet is to pay Sosia a thou- sand pounds. But Lord Genlis and | Capt. Osred offer much more than that sum if Sogia will defeat the purpose of Lord de Lavet and put them in pos- session of Helen Beauclair. _He ac- cepts their offer. There is much mon- ey in it for Sosia, and Sosia loves mon- ey. There is also revenge in it, and Sosia loves revenge even more than he loves gold!” As Sosia uttered these words his} face assumed a most terrific expres- sion of suppressed rage, and his pro- truding eyes glowed like two great balls of rolling flame. He clenched his long, bony fingers into#wo huge fists and brandished them in the air, mut- tering: “Revenge is sweeter than gold! venge—double revenge!” Martha, used as she was to the fero- cious moods of her husband, Neil Bash- fort, trembled as she gazed upon the writhing of the hideous face, blazing as it was in every feature with hatred and evil thought of some one then in the Sorcerer's mind. " Lord Genlis sand Capt. Osred were startled and exchanged wondering glances as they peered around at each other across the front of the screen. They had employed this man for! their own base purposes, under the be- | lief that he had no interest in the work beyond a desire to gain a large How do you know that, young ‘Re- They were startled now on learning from, his own lips that he was serving them not only to gain gold, but to win that which he said he loved more than gold—revenge. “Revenge. upon whom, and why?” was the ejaculation that flashed from father to son in their rapidly exchang- ed glances. Helen Beauclair, mentally bound yet The Sorcerer @ St. By PROF. WILLIAM H. PECK. Giles by the wondrous power of that magic pellet which she had swallowed before the altar, showed-no emotion upon her beautiful face, more than a childlike wonder. The spasms of suppressed passion, knotting into nodes:the muscular feat- ures of Sosia’s hideous visage, did not afright her as they would have done had her brain been fully sensitive. “You are making very ugly faces,” she said in a child-like way, and I wish to hear more about Helen Beauclair.” “Ah!” ejaculated Sosia, becoming calm instantly and staring at her keenly. “Yes; I begin to think that I have known some one named Helen Beau- clair. Perhaps it is because you have} repeated the name so often.” “Yes—perhaps so,” replied Sosia, stroking his beard with both hands and making a kind of hairy dagger of its point. “Well, it does not concern cer- tain persons’—here a glance at the concealed listeners—‘why I hate any one, or why I saw a chance for gratifi- cation of hate in serving Lord Genlis and Capt. Osred in thissmanner. That is my affair. Before they sought my aid, and before Lord Lavet sought my aid, my attention had been directed to Lady Ida and Helen Beauclair. By whom? By Helen Beauclair herself.” Again the peering faces of the fath- er and son exchanged glances of sur- prise across the face of the screen. “Yes,” continued Sosia, “she, too, had heard of the wondrous powers of Zeno Sosia, and believing much, vis- ited his dwelling at St: Giles. What passed? This: “*You come,’ said I, ‘to obtain some- thing by which you shall be able to win the love of a young man?’ “‘No,’ she replied, ‘but to obtain something by which I may win the hate of an old man!’ “‘Ah! Then an old man loves you?’ “*Yes; and I detest him.’ “‘and, perhaps, because you love some handsome young man, who adores you?’ “‘That does not concern you,’ she said, very haughtily, too, for the dis- guise she wore. “It is impossible,’ I said, ‘to cause any one to hate where he loves; but I will aid you, if you will give me the diamond ring which is upon your fin- ger under your glove.’ “She gave it to me. Here it is,” con; tinued Sosia, producing a golden ring, small, and set with a diamond of con- siderable value. Holding it toward Helen, he added: “Do ‘you recognize the ring?” “No; it is strange to me.” “And all that I have just said?” All—though I know you are Sosia the Sorcerer, -and that I haye seen you before. And it seems to me that I have known Helen Beauclair, and that she was with me whenever I saw you. It is all very strange,” said Helen, re- turning the ring to Sosia, and locking her fair hands across her forehead. “But it will all be plain to you! presently. Well, so began my _ ac- quaintance with Helen Beauclair. I gained her confidence. I learned who she was, and the name of the man she detested. She toid me the name of that man; but she did not tell me the name of the man she loved. I never work for any one in the dark. I dis- cover all I can by spies, if other means fail me. Usually I am my own spy. I was my own spy in this matter, and I discovered that the man whom she loved was a man whom I hated—a man neither of the nobility nor of the gent- ry—handsome and attractive, indeed, in face and person, well educated, too, but poor and far beneath Helen Beau- clair in rank; for she was the grand- daughter of an earl, a near relative of many nobie families, and the heiress in her own right of great wealth. When | I discovered that this young man was! the favored lover of Helen Beauclair, | he had not been seen by me for two years. He had been well known to: me, but for two years I had not seen | him nor heard of him. In brief, I had | believed that he was dead. I know his nature well. I hated him, yet I rejoic- ed to see that he still lived. I will not | tell now why I hate him. I rejoiced that he was alive to suffer from my vengeance— which aims _ invisible weapons at the heart and the brain.” Lord Genlis here swept” his hand across his brow; a sickening sensation | of sudden dread, as his gaze met that of Sosia darting toward ‘him, causing} his brain to reel with this unspoken | question: “Have I a fiend, and not a man, for my agent?” Ny “There is too much of the demon in this man,” thought Capt. Osred. “He knows too much to be a mere tool. We imagined we were making him our servant for gold. »He has made our plot his own—we have been his tools for the gratification of his own secret aims.” Martha, growing more and more in; awe of one who dared speak so boldly in the presence of her dreaded hus- band’s dreaded lord, crouched nearer to the floor, muttering in her shawl, as she drew it over her head to hide from her the demoniac expression of the sorcerer’s face: “It is plain that he does not fear my lord—or that he is a boaster. In either case he is a dare-devil. I am afraid ‘of him—a sorcerer! Oh, what devil's work is this? What is to become of this beautiful young lady?” But Helen Beauclair, as if slightly impatient, said: “Speak of Helen Beauclair. I am sure now that I have known some one of that name. What was the name of the young man she loved? The story seems familiar to my mind. Perhaps I have read something of the kind.” “Very likely,” replied Sosia, drily. “Well, as I discovered that she and her favored lover were about to elope, and as I wished to blast his hopes, I had him arrested upon a false charge and cast into prison. I then anonymously warned Lady Ida of Helen’s infatua- tion for this obscure young man, but did not inform her of his arrest. At the same time I advised Lord de Lavet to urge Lady Ida to hasten with Helen to Galway secretly, to avoid the pur- suit of Helen’s favored lover. Lady Ida obeyed the counsels of Lord de Lavet. But before Helen was carried away from London, as .a prisoner, I secretly gave her a medical pellet, tell- ing her of its wonderful power and warning her not to use it except when all other means of escape from a hate- ful marriage had failed. These were my words. Note them carefully: as I speak them, and tell me if you can re- member ever having heard them be- fore. Sosia then took a small white' pill from a silver vial, held the pill toward the young lady, and said in a very gyave and distinct tone: “Two results may follow the swal- lowing of this pellet. First, you may fall instantly, as if dead. Your ap- pearance will so resemble actual death that experienced physicians shall say you died instantly of some disease of the heart. You may, and probably will, remain in this state, wholly uncon- scious and to all appearance a corpse, for four days and six hours. During that time—probably on the third day— you will be buried, if I do not find means to rescue you, and if I do not, I will at the last moment reveal to Lady Ida the truth,“and you shall be resored to life and health. I will tell her that she must either bury you alive, or consent to your immediate marriage with your beloved. Doubt not that she will consent to this mar- riage rather than live with the horri- ble belief that her obstinate pride has caused you to be buried alive. But there is another result which may fol- low the swallowing of this pellet. You may die really and instantly, or die while unconscious. The chances are that you will be rescued, and wedded te the one you love; but there is a chance that you may really die. Do you remember ought of this, young lady?” The expression of Helen’s face had begun to change from one of childlike wonder to one of great and startled in- telligence. She unlocked her hands from her forehead and raised herself upon one elbow. Her splendid black eyes began to sparkle with great bril- liancy. “Go on!” she said, in a quick, low tone. “I have either heard or read all this—somewhere!—when?” and again she sat up in bed and pressed her throbbing temples with both hands. “Helen Beauclair,” continued Sosia, “accepted the pellet and its perils. She replied tomy warning, ‘Death, even it be suicide, is not so dreadful to my mind as marriage with Lord de Lavet.’” “Those words stand before my eyes like print which I have read—and they sound in my ears as if I—I, on this bed—had spoken them aloud. When? Where? Why?” murmured Helen, gaz- ing at vacancy rather than at Sosia. Sosia’s great eyes—keen, vigilant, experimental, terrific in their exultant glance—flashed one glance toward the hidden listeners, and then fixed their gaze upon the disiurbed face of Helen.

Only those who lie in the firing line and hear the constant screech of the shells as they cleave their terrible way through the air above know the true sounds of modern war.. The whip-like smack of the bursting shells, the swish of the scattering bul lets, are nothing to the mocking sereech of these damned messengers of death as they pursue each other, as if in competition to complete the aw- ful object of their hideous mission. The whole welkin is discordant with their tumult; you feel the rush of mis- placed air; splinters sing in your ears; the earth is in constant tremble with the violence of the discharge; you feel it pulsate against your cheek, pressed to the moist mud of the para- pet, and then a bullet saps the life blood of the°comrade whose elbow has toucifed yours day and night for forty hours.
