eT 1 i ! u How many American women in lonely homes to-day long for this blessing to come into their lives, and to be able to utter these words, but because of some organic derange- ment this happiness is denied them. Every woman interested in this subject should know that prepara- tion for healthy maternity is accomplished by the LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West Tnion, 8. C, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “IT was greatly run-down in health from a weakness peculiar to my sex, when Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was recommended to me. It not only restored me to perfect health, but to my delight I am a mother.” Mrs. Josephine Hall, of Bardstown, Ky., writes : “Twas a very great sufferer from female troubles, and my physician failed to help me. 4 Lydia-E.

I promised to send him a place of meeting down here, where, I under- stand, he is going to bring his blushing bride. I will give you a note saying that, as his time is so much occupied with his own private affairs, it would be safer if he gave you the diamond to bring down to me.” “An’ ef ’e ’on’t give ble ’ “We must wait until he meets us here, and, in any case, we shall want the motor car, so don’t proceed to vio- lence just yet. I think we can manage ; it without arousing his suspicions.” “But wot day is me Lord Winton go- in’ ter make ’is state hentry inter this serloobrious ’ealth resort?” “You must leave that to Winton him- self, but you may tell him that he must be here between the 24th and 26th, as we cannot stay any longer without danger. Too long in one place would give Griffin & Co. too much of a hand against us. Tell him also that it would be better to meet when the crowd is out, say 3 or 3:30.” “Orl righto! An’ wot happens when we gits ‘im ’ere?” , “Well, since we have arrangéd this little partnership between us for our mutual benefit, I may as well tell you something of which you have hitherto been kept in ignorance. Do you know | why Joe Brawn is in England?” “Came over to sell ‘is sparkler, didn’t ’e?” . “That is true; but he had am object in parting with the ‘Empire’s Dream,’ and that object was to put himself in possession of a large sum of money in order to enable him to pursue a quest | upon which he has been engaged for some years.” “Persession 0’ money is a werry lordabil objic,’” murmured Hammond, thoughtfully “And the object of Joe Brawn’s search is to find the man who induced his daughter to leave her home in Bal- larat.” “It amooses me, these instinks .0’ There’s some fathers as I knows on as’d ’ave a beano if some o’ theer dorters’d leave the pa- ternal roof-tree, 80 to speak; an’ then there’s others—— “Joe Brawn is alsy trying to find his daughter at the same time, and if he learns that Jasper Garlick has not done the straight thing by Audrey Brawn, there will be a considerable amount of trouble for Garlick.” “Jasper Garlick’s ‘is name, is it?” “That was the name he went under in Australia. Now, here is something important. I have discovered Audrey Brawn, and she is not the wife of Jas- per Garlick!” “Have yer now? An’ where is she?” “She is the lady you had the adven- ture with in Liverpool.” “Judith Ballara?” “The very same. “But I don’t see what ye’re drivin’ at; it’s all very int’restin’, but, we’ve wandered orf ther track o’ Montagu Winton.” “I think not; can’t you see that Jasp- er Garlick in Australia is Montagu Winton in England?” “By gum!—whew!—'ere’s a pretty bit o’ business. Why, me Lord Monty is in ther ‘oller of our ‘ands, an’ we can shut our fists an’ squeeze ’im dry. Oh! it is amoosin’; it fair niakes me laugh.” “But it will be no laughing matter for Winton. I have seen Joe Brawn in fighting fury, and neither law nor or- der has any claim upon his reason. When a blood light leaps up into his eyes he is a wild, untamed savage, and heaven help the object of his wrath.” “An’ wot’s yer idear, then?” “That when we get Winton down here we obtain possession of the dia- mond—quietly, if possible, and with- out him suspecting our intentions. I guess that he will be so taken up with his bride that we shall have no diffi- culty; but should he be disinclined to part, we must take it by force and clear out. In any.case, we will drop a line to Joe Brawn and let him know where Jasper Garlick can be found.” “An’ then, goodness ’elp Monty Win- ton; for, by gum, ’e’ll need it.” it up peacer- CHAPTER XIV. Judith Ballara paced restlessly up and down the narrow room of her hastily-sought lodging at Hampstead. She had been traveling all night, but her eyes were bright with the fever of impatience, and the fire of resolve flamed in her heart and buoyed up her tired limbs. Now and again she The Empire’s Dream Who Stole a World-Famous Dia- mond of Fabulous Wealth. glanced at the clock and listened in- tently as if expecting some one, In another hour her expectation was realized, and Kate Daucey entered the room. For a moment the two gazed at each other in silence, and then by a mutual impulse they fell into each oth- er’s arms. “Ah! it is good of you to have come.” “My dear, I would travel a thousand of a Gang of Thieves miles to save any woman, from the hands of Jasper Garlick,” answered Judith; “but why is she doing it? Why is she marrying this man?” “From a mistaken motive. If you know Garlick at all you know how helpless 4 woman is in his hands, how he lays his plans days beforehand and traps you at every point. Mary Brent knows this man as Montagu Winton, and has been made to believe that her lover, Godfrey West, is the man who passed as Jasper Garlick in Australia.” “But you—you know different; why did you not enlighten her?” “Years ago I loved Garlick, consequence of that love I suffered ruin, disgrace, and—and imprison- ment. Yes, you may start, but it is true. I suffered agonies untold and mental torture beyond any one’s imag- ination, while he, the evil genius of my trouble, fled the country and left me to face the consequences alone. I was but young, then, and in my inno- and in cence and love for him I had no thought of doing wrong.” “Ah! I believe you.” “Yes, they sent me to prison, and when I had expatiated my folly I set to work under my present name to begin a fresh life. I was successful; ihe name of Kate Pilrig was forgotten, while Catherine Dauncey was honored and respected by many whom I now call friends. Then he—he found me again, and ever since my life has been a nightmare of apprehension.” “But why? What can he do now?” “I—I value the respect of my friends, and he threatens to expose me by, re- vealing the story of Kate Pilrig.” “And you put up with it? Well, well, Jasper Garlick has no such hold over me. I have something of my father’s nature in me, and when Jasper aban- doned me to starvation and misery in Sydney 1 made a vow that should he ever cross my path again there would be a bitter reckoning to settle with Audrey Brawn.” “But what can you do? He has told Mary Brent that Godfrey West stole the ‘Empire’s Dream,’ and we have no evidence to the contrary.” “IT have seen Godfrey West, and I know that he is an innocent man; and you in your own heart have a similar conviction. Now tell me this. Why does this Montagu Winton, as he calls himself, want to. marry Mary Brent, when he has shown so little inclina- tion to matrimony before?” “Because he believes that Brent, Mary’s father, is a very man, and his when he inherits Loremuir.” “Lord Loremuir!” “Yes; through a succession of deaths in the family Winton unexpectedly be- came next in succession. The present lord, I believe, is an eccentric old man, and nobody but his lawyer knows where he is living.” “Then Mary Brent, if she marries this man, will one day become Lady Loremuir?” “That is true; but I am sure she would sacrifice anything in order to es- cape the marriage without doing any injury to Godfrey West.” “And I have traveled all this way in order to help her, and she shall never John rich money will be, useful the title of Lord marry Jasper Garlick if it is in my power to prevent it. Where is he now?” “He is in London, I believe, arrang- ing for a special license, and they are to be married to-morrow.” “And after?” “I believe he intends to take her to Brighton in his motor car. Of course, I don’t know; the arrangement may be altered. Montagu ‘Winton does not re- veal his true plan “Where is Mary now?” “We are lodging not very far away; we can get there in a few minutes.” “Take me to her at once. I have a plan by which I think I can not only save her, but revenge myself upon Jasper Garlick for the suffering he has caused us all. He has been very cley- er in his schemes in the past, but we shall now see if he can outwit Judith Ballara as he did Audrey Brawn.” In a few minuates they were on their way to Mary Brent. As_ they passed the postoffice Judith entered and sent a telegram to Joe Brawn. They found Mary Brent sitting in an attitude of dull apathy; outwardly she was:calm, but it was the calmness of despair, and only her eyes betrayed the soul-racking emotion under which she was laboring. She sprang up with a glad cry when Judith entered and clung to her in a convulsive embrace. “Ah! my poor darling, and what for did you leave Judith? Didn't I say we were to be friends? And at the first sign of trouble you go off to bear it alone.” I did not know, I did not wish to bring any unhappiness into your life, and I thought it best to leave you.” “And now you are going to ruin your life by marrying this man Winton; you poor, silly dear, you don’t know what you are doing.” “It is to—to save Godfrey.” “To save rubbish! ‘ Godfrey West ‘doesn’t want any saving, and even if he did it is too great a price for you to pay; no, no, my dear, you are not going to marry Montagu Winton.” “But I—I must.” “And I say you shall not; there is | their enterprise, Dodson, pacar an old score to settle between this man and myself, and the time has now arrived when’ he must pay. I” have sworn that you shall not marry him, and I intend to keep my vow, so chase that dismal look from your pretty face and place your trust : Judith Ballara. The faces of the thre ee men seated in Joe Brawn’s private apartment~ wore Such an aspect of moodiness and gloom that it was apparent a crisis had arisen which gave a check to “Faith, an’ can ye suggest nawthin’ at all, Mr. Griffin? Sure, the old gen- tleman helped his own when he start- ed that bit of a fire an’ allowed them blackguards to escape; yis, faith!” “I can only wait until I hear from my man at Birmingham. This lady, Judith Ballara, told Mr. West that Miss Brent was in that town, and I have not the slightest doubt that he will be able to trace her.” “Sure, an’ ut’s a queer business alto- gether—aw yis, Who is this good lady, Miss Ballara? An’ why should she go ati’ see Godfrey in the hospital?” “That I cannot say,” answered God- frey; “but she spoke with such confi- dence, and is so evident a friend of Mary Brent’s, that I am inclined to tr her implicitly.” And another thing,” said Griffin; “she spoke of that scoundrel, Jasper Garlick, and from that I infer that she | is either in league with this gang or has some motive of her own for seek- ing an interview with Mr. West.” “Faith, an’ I can’t understand ut at all.. Why should she ask about me, an’ leave word that I-was to come as soon as she sent me a_ tellygrum—sure, why?” I do not know. She stayed but for | afew minutes, and I gave you her message exactly as I received it.” “Sure, and what like was she?” “She was a beautiful woman, about the same height and figure as™ Mary Brent; but the most striking thing about her was her wonderful hair, of a deep reddish-copper color.” “Red-copper color! Faith, an’ could it be—but no, ’tis absurd; sure, yis.” “Could it be what, Mr. Brawn?” “Aw, sure, an’ it’s nawthin’. I was only thinkin’ o’ me little Audrey, my bonny little lass that was enticed from her daddy’s house by that scheming villain Garlick.” “And you think——” “Faith, no, ut cannot be; if ut was me little lass she’d ’a’ surely come an’ seen her daddy, aw, yis, sure.” “But it may be your daughter, Mr. Brawn,” said Griffin; “you have not seen her for some years, and we can- not tell what circumstances are keep- ing you apart; at any rate, we have her promise to communicate with you, and we must wait until she fulfils it. We know that she has cancelled her engagement, and that looks as if she was occupying herself with some pri- vate business; she would not pay such a large sum in forfeit for nothing.” “Aw, well, sure, an’ I can trust me little girl, an’ I know me bonny Au- drey ud do nawthin’ wrong; but if this Jasper Garlick an’ me meets let um look out, for Joe Brawn’ll have no merey on him, faith, no.” “Pll just go and see if there is any message from Roop,” said Griffin. He left the room, and returned in a few minutes with a telegram in his hand. “T have just received a message, but it is not from Roop; it is from Mr. the Jawyer, and will no doubt make a considerable difference in the future of Miss Brent.” “Miss Brent! What does Dodson say about her?” inquired Godfrey. “I will read you the message and then you will see: “‘John Brent was yesterday seized with a paralytic stroke and cannot live more than a day or two. If you can find the whereabouts of his daughter Mary, tell her to come to me at once. —‘ ‘Dodson.’ ” (To Be Continued.) SQUAWS WEAR SILK. No Financial Trouble Among the In- dians—Luxuries in Demand. Silks and satins are none.too good for the Indian women on some of the Western reservations. A writer in Fur News who visited the trading post at Naudau says that the women were hitting up the demand for silk and satin, canned goods and other luxuries at a furious rate, The storekeeper at the post an- nounced that certain silken scarfs, perhaps eighteen inches square, of bright red, blue and purple colors, were selling like hot cakes at from $1.50 to $2 apiece. The scarfs are worn by the squaws in the manner of a fascinator, and no care as to their cleanliness, etc., seemed to be taken by the owners. Visitors saw many squaws at the post dressed in the finest of silk, but it is put on in such a manner that the beauty of the goods is lost. Novel Libel Suit.
