TETRIS ws SCIATIC TORTURE A Locomotive Engineer Tells How He Was Cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Pain that seems almost unbearable fs a characteristic of sciatic rheuma- tism. In some cases the pain is knife-like, saarp or shooting; in oth- ers it is dull and aching. Sciatica is stubborn in resisting treatment and the patient frequently suffers for years. This was the case with Mr. Herbert E. Spaulding, a locomotive engineer on the Cincinnati, New Or- leans & Texas Pacific Railway, waose home is at Longview, Texas. “While running an engine some years ago,” he says, “I fell off and hurt my knee and spine and I have always considered this to be the cause of my illness. The sciatica took hold of me fr my heel té the back of my head. The pain was the worst I ever suffered in my life and my leg and back were twisted out of shape. I was under a physician’s care for several months and for six months could not get out of bed. I also went to Hot Springs but came back in a worse condition than when I went. “It was when I was down in bed that I heard of the case of a Mr. Allison, a much older man than my- self, who nad been cured of sciatica by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I began taking the pills and soon was able to get out of bed. When I had taken six boxes I was able to work about the house and yard. I kept right on with the pills until I was cured and I have never had any return of the trouble. I have been running an engine ever since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Ready for a Good Time. “Are you making any plans for next summer?” “Yes,” replied Mrs. Subbubs, “we have eaten all of our chickens, my hus- band has promised not to try to do any gardening, and we have sold our cow, so we really feel that we are justified in hoping to be able to pull through without any serious trouble.” THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA. Were Treated at Dispensary—Did Not Improve—Suffered Five Months —Perfect Cure by Cuticura. “My three children had eczema for five months. A little sdre would ap- pear on the head and seemed very itchy, increasing day after day. The baby had had it about a week when the second boy took the disease and a few sores developed, then the third boy took it. For the first three months I took them to the N— Dispensary, but they did not seem to improve. Then I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment and in a few weeks they had improved, and when their heads were well you could see nothing of the sores. Mrs. Kate Keim, 513 West 29th St., New York, N. Y., Nov. 1, 5 and 7, 1906.” Which? Three men, A, B and C, took a cer- tain course. Each earnestly desired a large, rich, juicy, soul satisfying grade of A. Mr. A did his work faithfully and well each day throughout the year. Mr. B did not work, except before ex- aminations, and then tutored. Mr. C. did not work at all, but told the in- structor how much he enjoyed the course and how it had increased his insight into human nature. Which of these men pulled the large, rich, juicy, self-satisfying grade of A?—Harvard Lampoon. TACK THIS UP. Simple Advice Which May Prove of Untold Value. At the first sign of Backache or pain in the region of the Kidneys, or weak- ness and Urinary trouble, the follow- ing simple prescription should be used: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good prescription pharmacy will supply these three ingredients at small cost, which can easily be mixed by shaking well in a bottle. This is said to force the Kidneys to filter the sour acids and poisons from the blood, overcoming the worst cases of Rheu- matism. Different Now. Ascum—You used to complain that your wife was constantly asking you for money Peckham—O, that was when we were first married. All that’s changed now. Ascum—Yes? Peckham—Yes; now I ask her for it when I can sum up courage. Stood the Test. Allcock’s Plasters have successfully stood the test of sixty years’ use by the public; their virtues have never been equaled by the unscrupulous im- itators who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them, and claiming them to be “just as good as Allcock’s.” Allcock’s plasters stand to-day in- dorsed by not only the highest medical authorities, but by millions of grateful patients who have proved their effi- cacy as a household remedy. Prepared. y “Really,” began Mr. Stinjay, “I don’t like to give you all this money to carry around. You know the doctors say bacteria lurks in bank notes.” “That’s all right,” replied his wife, “J’ll use some of the money to get vac: cinated. if necessary.” which you be foolish. you to be innocent, but these beggars don’t; and you'll get yourself into a deuce of a hole and give yourself away the case yourself.

THE SECOND DANDY CHATER x By Tom Gallon. ® 3 ——— YP SERA RAMA PARA RAR ARERR CHAPTER XVI.—(Continued.) “One moment, Mr. Coroner,” he said. “Mr. Chater here is an old friend of mine—knew him at Oxford. I’m a barrister, and I claim the right to rep- resent Mr. Chater at these proceed- ings. I should like to point out to you, Mr. Coroner,” still with the same en- gaging frankness and the same cheery smile, “that my friend is placed in a very awkward position, and has against him, in charge of the case, a very able representative of the law.”— a bow here for the gratified inspector —‘“from Scotland Yard. I merely pro- pose to watch the case on behalf of my friend, and to put such questions as I may deem necessary, and as you, Mr. Coroner, may see fit, in the exer- cise of a wise discretion, to allow.” Here the young gentleman bowed all round again, with another cheery smile, and sat down near the coroner, after having made a decidedly good impression. Philip Chater broke the silence seemed to hang so_ heavily about him, and addressed the coroner. “I am greatly obliged,” he said, “for my friend’s kindly offer; but I would rather decline it. Whatever case there is against me must go on its merits; I desire nothing more.” Before the coroner or any one else could speak the young gentleman came darting out of his chair and had Philip by the buttonhole, drawing him aside a little, and impressing his points upon him in an eager whisper. . “Now, my dear boy,” he said, with the same frankness as before, “don’t Frankly, I believe most gloriously if you try to conduct This chap from dictive; the coroner is in a hurry, and is dead against you. On the other hand, have the goodness to consider This is my first chance I’ve read up the case day by day, and I know it by heart; I may do you a lot of good—and I shall make my own fortune. To-mor- row morning, in all the newspapers— Andrew Banks—rising young barrister —badgered the coroner—turned the witnesses inside out—played Old Har- ry with the police; don’t you see? Now, all you have to do is to sit quiet and look virtuous; I’ll lay out Mr. Cor- oner for the benefit of the yokels in a brace of shakes.” He was gone again, back to his place at the table, before Philip Chater had even time to thank him or to re- monstrate further; and the real busi- ness of the inquest began. In the first place appeared the two: country- men who had found the body—and who contradicted each other in minor points of detail, and were hopelessly confused by that rising young barris- ter, Mr. Andrew Banks—so much so that, at the end of five minutes, they’ were half disposed to believe that the one had committed the murder and the other made an attempt to hide the body; and so sat down, greatly con- fused. Next came Betty Siggs—making a deeper impression than she would willingly have done against the man who stood watching her. For, after a question or two, old Betty turned sud- denly to that quiet figure, and stretch- ed out her hands and appealed to him, in a voice shaken by sobs. “For heaven’s sake, let me speak; let me tell what I know,” she said; and, though she spoke in a whisper, the silence about her was so deep and solemn that the lightest breath of that whisper was heard. “For the sake of the old days, let me say what you and I alone know—let me—my dear, my dear!” Unfortunately, it had the very oppo- site effect to that which Betty intend- ed; for there seemed to be at once es- tablished between these two some ter- rible affinity in the crime which made it more horrible. Nor did the young barrister improve matters; for wholly at a loss to understand to what she referred, he began to urge her to tell ‘all she knew—even to threaten her with dire penalties in the event of non-compliance. But that only made matters worse; she cast one swift look in the direction of Philip, and read in his face that she must be silent; turned on the young and ardent man of the law—and de- fied him. “Don’t you think, young man, as you're a-goin’ to open my mouth, be- cause you ain’t. I loved this poor young gal, as though she’d been a child 0’ my own; but I swear to you, before heaven, that the man who stands there knew nothing of it, and is abso- lutely innocent. Toby—my angel— vote for ’im, if you love me!” Toby answered with a responsive growl, and Mrs. Siggs sat down. Nor would the pleadings of the coroner, the threats of Tokely, or the suavity of the young barrister move her; she read in the face from which she took her inspiration that she must be silent—and the rack itself would not; of the village. have moved her. Came the medical man, who gave : his evidence grimly enough, in tech- nical terms which yet sent a shudder through the listening crowd. He had examined the boddy, and, in answer to a question from the coroner, gave it as his opinion—and with certainty —that the unfortunate girl, at the time of her death, was near the period when she would have given birth to a child; struck a more deadly blow at the pris- oner by describing, in a callous medi- cal phraseology, the wound which had been inflicted, and the lingering death which followed. At the end of that evidence there was not a man or wo- man in the place that would not have shrieked “Murder!” at him whatever the verdict of the jury might be. Some little sensation was created by the appearance of Harry Routley, the young servant of Dandy Chater, who, tackled by the inspector, and keeping his eyes resolutely turned from the man whose life he was swearing away, gave his evidence in little more than monosyllables; but gave it in forcible quality enough, even at that. Some greater sensation, too, was caused,by his turning swiftly to the prisoner in the midst of the questions of the in- spector, and holding out his hands to Philip in an agony of appeal, and then covering his face with them. “Master Dandy—Master Dandy!” he cried, “I swore to you that I would keep the secret. I have broken my word. Master Dandy, I was mad, beside myself. Master Dandy, forgive me!” It created, if that were possible, a worse impression than ever. In the midst of the murmurs which surged up about them the quiet voice of Philip was heard: “It’s all right, Harry; you’ve only done the right thing. The time will come when you will understand better what I mean—when you will have no cause for regret. You need have none now; you have been more loyal and true to me than I deserved; I say it openly, before all here.” Came Inspector Tokely himself, de- Mmanding that this man be sent for trial; pointing out this man’s desper- ate attempts to escape; his partial success; and so introducing the last witness, the Shady ’Un. The Shady ’Un—giving his name, with much humility, as Shadrach Nottidge—threw himself upon the mercy of the gentlemen present. He was but an ’umble workin’ man, led astray by the villainies of Mr. Chater. In a moment of remorse he had felt that Mr. Chater must be given up; he could not have slept in peace, good gentlemen, while Mr. Chater remained wat large. Mr. Chater had told him that he was flying for his life; had begged him (the Shady ’Un) to give him shelter. Declining to allow his white hands to be soiled, even by deputy, with blood, he had taken the earliest opportunity of handing Mr. Chater over to the law; and he hoped it would be remembered in his favor. Mr. Andrew Banks—rising young barrister of the cheery smile—tried his hardest—badgered the coroner— twitted Inspector Tokely—was sarcas- tic with the Shady ’Un; but all to no purpose. The coroner very clearly pointed out to the jury their obvious duty in this matter; reminded them that law and justice took no cogniz- ance of a man’s social position, and generally spun his rope a little strong- er. Finally, addressing Philip, begged to know if he cared to make any state- ment, administering to him, at the same time, the usual caution. “I have nothing to say, except that I am wholly innocent of this murder,” said Philip, quietly. The rest was a mere matter of form. The jury returned a verdict of “Wilful Murder” against Mr. Dandy Chater, of Chater Hall, in the County of Essex, and he was duly committed to take his trial at the coming sessions at the county town. Toby Siggs made some faint protest, but was overruled, and the crowd surged out into the spring sunshine, and generally expressed the opinion that Dandy Chater was as good as hanged already. CHAPTER XVII. Clara Finds a Lodging. On the morning following that ver- dict of wilful murder some one was astir very early at the Chater Arms; some one dressed hurriedly, while the dawn was yet breaking; some one crept softly down the stairs, pausing for a moment at one door, and seemed to catch her breath in a sob— and so went cautiously out of the house. It was Clara Siggs. But not the bright-eyed, impudent little beauty, ready for a dozen coquetries—willing to exchange smiling glances with any good-looking lad who passed her. Quite another person was the Clara Siggs who went swiftly down the village street this morning, with a resolute purpose in her black eyes; so much had one night changed her. She hurried on, for a time, resolute- ly enough, until she was almost clear The houses were closed; in one window which she assed a faint light—burning, per- haps, in some sick chamber—seemed to bid scant defiance to the coming day, and crave that the night might be longer. But there was no sign of life anywhere else; the village might have been a place of the dead for all the life there was about it. At a certain point on the road her steady resolution seemed to falter; she hesitated, walked more slowly, and finally stopped altogether; as though working out something in her mind, she made little circles in the dust with one foot, while she stood, looking frowningly at the ground and biting her red lips. At last the difficulty— whatever it was—seemed to have solved itself; she turned from the road and struck off by a side path in the direction of the house known as The Cottage. What instinct had guided her there it would be impossible to say, but the object of her search, early as the hour was, was in the garden, sitting on a rustic seat out of view of the windows of the house, and with her face hidden in her hands. Hearing the light sweep of the girl’s dress on the grass she rose hurriedly, and disclosed the figure of Madge Barnshaw. For a moment the two faced each other in silence: the one vexed and ashamed at being discovered in such an attitude, the other with something of defiance about her, mixed with a desperate and growing anxiety. In some indescribable fashion, each seemed to know the subject of the other’s thoughts, and to be jealous of those thoughts, each ina different way. But the one woman would have died sooner than acknowledge any emotion or sorrow to the other; the other was proud of her emotion—open- ly flaunted it, as it were; and would have been glad to think that one man’s name was branded upon her forehead almost, that all might read her secret. “Is anything the matter?” asked Madge, rising to her feet and confront- ing the other. “Dear heaven!” cried Clara, in a sort of harsh whisper. “Can you stand there and look at me and ask that? Can you know that a man is as good as dying—dying by inches with every moment that we live—and ask me that?” “J—I don’t understand,” said Madge, in a low voice. “More than all, I can- not see why you are troubling your- se]f about——” ‘ Clara Siggs had turned away impa- tiently; she flung round now and came at the other woman, with her hands held clenched close to her sides, and her teeth close clenched also. “You don’t understand! You c&nnot see why I should be troubling about him! I am an innkeeper’s daughter—only a common girl, at the least; you are a great lady. They say you were to marry him; will you cast him away now, when he lies in prison, in shame and misery, and with death drawing nearer every day? Is your love for him so great that it is something to be changed by what men may say of him?” Some curious shame—some strange stirring of admiration for this wild, un- tutored child—crept over Madge Barn- shaw. She saw, in this girl, something stroriger and more purposeful than herself—the wild and desperate cour- ‘age which might override all obsta- cles, which might snap fingers at death itself, for the sake of one man’s life. She went nearer to the girl and held out her hands to her. “Tell me—help me!” she whispered. “Show me what I should do!” With that direct appeal all poor Clara’s heroism went to the winds; she could only cover her face with her hands and weep, and shake her head and declare how helpless she was. She could have met defiance with defiance —pride with pride; but the sudden tenderness of the other woman was too much for her, and she broke down at once whatever barrier she had de termined to build up between them. (To Be Continued.) NATIVE PRIDE OF OHIOANS. Buckeye Exiles Form Societies in Nu- merous Cities of the Country. Providence seems to have ordained that where two or more Ohioans meet beyond the borders of their native state their first duty—not to say their first pleasure—shall be to organize an Ohio society. The number of such _ societies throughout the Union is astonishing. They extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and distinguish bbth the North and the South. At the annual banquet of the Ohio society of San Francisco just preced-| F: ing the earthquake disaster there were present a thousand members and guests. One would hardly suppose that in the further extremity of Yan- keedom an~-Ohio society would be found, but the prganization at Port- land, Me., is sufficient resasssurance on this score. Portland, Ore., goes her namesake “one better and then some.” The lat- ter city is the headquarters of an Ohio society for the state, and this body has ascertained that in the state of Oregon there are living to-day 13,000 native-born Ohioans, all of whom are eligible to membership in the Portland society. The Ohio Society of New York City has long been famous for the men who have honored and whom it has hon- ored. But in relatively equal degree the same thing is true of Ohio socie- ties in Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Norfolk, Va., and other cities. The citizens of no other state residing beyond its bor- ders exhibit a fraction of such loyalty. —Ohio Magazine. . FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer- ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: “I have worked hard in my , time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes every- thing would whirl and blur before me, I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan’s Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating were gone. I have been in good health ever since.” For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Explained, She—I saw you in the street car the other evening, Mr. Saxby.
