You won't tell your family doctor the whole story about your private illness — you are too modest. You need not be afraid to tell Mrs. Pink- ham, at Lynn, Mass., the things pa could not explain to the doctor. letter will be held in the strictest ae fidence. From her vast correspond- ence with sick women susnre ee past thirty years she ma! ined the very knowledge t! ‘nah elp yourcase. Such lettersas at al - lowing, from grateful women, es- tablish beyond a doubt the powerof LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND to conquer all female diseases. Mrs. Norman R. Barndt, of Allen- town, Pa., writes: “Ever since I was sixteen years of age I had suffered from an organic de- rangement and female weakness; in consequence I had dreadful headaches and was extremely nervous. My phy: cian said I must go through an opera- tion to get well. A friend told me about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and I took it and wrote you for advice, following your directions parefully, and thanks to you I am to- day a well woman, and I am telling all my friends of my experience.” FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ae and has positively cured thousands o! women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera- tion, fibroid tumors, irregulai periodic pains, backache, that bear- ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges- tion, dizziness,ornervous prostration. Annoyed Author. The author of “Trache” gnawed his long and silky mustache in a vicious manner. ‘Plague take these autograph fiends!” “But, Dryden,” protested the young wife, “you haven’t had a request for your autograph since I don’t know when.” He scowled darkly. “That,” he hissed, “is what annoys me.” If you are looking for a wife, Alonzo, side step the girl who doesn’t make a confidante of her mother.

Besides, you will be a lot better off here; there are a dozen places open to you.” “I shall find my way back to ole Kentucky when you’s gone,” Dinah sobbed. “I’ll die in my native lan’.” “You will be able to make much more money by remaining here,” Mari- on said, encouragingly. But Dinah shook her head contemptuously, as though money was of no account with her. Marion scarcely slept a wink during her last night at Odero. She felt ap- palled at the thought of facing the world alone. Hardship she did not fear; change and even poverty she had been accustomed to. It was the lone- liness and friendliness she shrank from. Heretofore she had always her father to lean upon, and though he had been anything but an ideal parent, still, he was strong and resourceful and of unfailing courage. Ways and means she had never considered; her life had been shaped for her; her fath- er decided where they should live and how long they should stay. This was true stil in a sense. She was going away to England at his be- hest, but she*was going alone and without his protection. Going to a place she had never seen and to people she had never heard of till a week ago, and she shuddered with misgiv- ings at what she might find at the end. She had never been blind to her father’s sins. His acquaintances in the main had been men she could not tolerate. What if this Mr. Mayhew should be a man of the same stamp? What if she had been committed to the tender mercies of a man without moral sense or scruple?

Putting out the light ot the lamp, she dropped into the rock- ing chair and stared at the fire with unblinking eyes. Slowly the numb- ness was passing out of her heart, and sense of the reality of things was tak- ing its place. Tears came into her eyes at length and rolled slowly down her cheeks. She had reached the end of one stage of her life. Never again would she wait and listen for the coming of her father. He would come no more, “The dad is dead—dead—dead!” She repeated the words to herself again and again, as if she wanted to realize all théir significance, and with each repetition of the word the tears fell faster. She took no heed of the flight of time. She was only vaguely conscious that the wind was still soughing in the pines and the rain beating against the window. Nothing mattered. She seemed to have reached the end of all things. She had lived for her father because there was nothing else on earth to live for. Now that he was gone she was stranded utterly. She fell to sobbing presently, and the sobs seemed to ease her heart. The awful sense of loneliness became less poignant. The complaining wind caught a more cheerful tone, the crackling logs burst into laughter now and then, the sobs became fewer until they ceased altogether, and then she remembered no more until she opened her eyes with a start and saw the black fate of Dinah bending over her.

Eeagee Hage ane Marion West had been on deck near- into sight. She had watched with curious interest the rugged cliffs grow more and more distinct, then fade She was much more sorry than glad that her long journey was so nearly at anend. She had enjoyed the whole ered round the open grave in respect- ful silence. After the funeral Marion spent a whole day in going through the con- tents of the cowhide trunk. She ; = found the silver box at the bottom, | of her trip from West to East. Monot- but did not attempt to open it. The | Onous as it had been in many re- spects, there had not been lacking el- ements of novelty which brightened and gave interest to the passing hours. At Montreal and Quebec she had re- newed her acquaintance with the life and movement of big cities and had been able to make some very neces- sary purchases. The five twenty-dol- lar gold pieces which she found in Adam Black’s parcel came in very handy, and she enjoyed her shopping expedition all the more in consequence of this addition to her small fortune. Her first experience of the sea was marred at the beginning by stormy weather; but she quickly got used to it, and after the first two days enjoyed it immensely. The Atlantic ocean was quite a rev- elation to her. She had often read about the sea, often pictured it in her imagination, but the reality far out- distanced all her dreams. Its strength, its immensity, its strange and passion- ate moods, filled her with a kind of exaltation. She spent every possible minute on deck, and never tired of watching its ceaseless rise and fall. There were fewer than fifty passen- gers on board—November is not usu- ally a month that people choose to cross the Atlantic in—moreover the Nebraska was not one of the fashion- able fioating hotels that tempt the idle hingless lid fitted so closely. that she could not get the point of a needle into the chink. There were a good many articles of jewelry lying loose—rings scarf-pins, and even bracelets. There were also several bundles of greenbacks, rep- resenting in all over a thousand dol- lars. In addition there were curios, pistols, knives, spear-heads, beads and a miscellaneous assortment of papers that appeared to be of no particular value. These were surmounted by ar- ticles of underwear and a dress suit much out of date. Marion allowed what was valuable to remain at the bottom of the trunk, and packed her own clothes on top. She was not overstocked with dresses. Odero was out of the range of the fashionable world, but such dresses as she had were well made and of en- during material. There was much wailing on the part of Dinah on the eve of her de- parture, for the negress had shared their fortune for at least five years and had come to regard Marion as her particular charge. She pleaded hard to be allowed to accompany her to England, and Marion had considerable difficulty in convincing her how im- possible that was. “But I do lub you so,” Dinah wailed. in ye 5 a. x . rich to be ever on the move between continent and continent. The Nebraska was chiefly Jaden with wheat. Her passengers were mostly business men who had to dare November’s storms and fogs whether they would or no. A few ladies were on board who had ¢hosen the cargo boat mainly on the ground of cheap-, ness, and who beguiled the tedium of the journey by complaining of the food, the weather, and the exceedingly deliberate pace of the ship. After Marion, had found her sea legs she enjoyed everything—enjoyed talk- ing to the sailors, enjoyed the cap- tain’s stories at the dinner table, en- joyed being shown round the engine rooms, enjoyed even the drenching she sometimes got when she persisted in remaining on deck. She would have been. quite content if the voyage had continued for another week or fort- night. She was in no hurry to discov- er what her fate was to be. She could not shake off the feeling that trouble was in store for her. As she watched the bold outline of the Cornish coast fade away into the fog and darkness she could hardly re- press a sigh. For the last eight or ten days she had had nothing to worry her. Tossing on the great deep, faressed by the wind and warmed by the sunshine, she had felt completely separated from the world’s worry and strife. Men, women, communities and nations, might fret and struggle and kill each other in the battle for exist- ence, but she out on the great ocean ‘was away from it all. Now she was coming back into it again. The blessed and restful inter- lude was nearly at an end. To-morrow she would tread the solid earth once more—to-morrow she would know her fate. The fog crept up cold ‘and clammy, and she went below to get a warmer coat. In the saloon the stewards were busy making ready for the last dinner they were to have together. They would be in Plymouth sound by midnight. In the ten days she had been on board she had got to love the Nebras- ka. It seemed to her the warmest and cosiest home she had ever known. Half-way to her state room she stopped to talk to one of the lady pas- sengers, who was busy getting her things together. “] shall not go to bed: to-night,” she said. “If the captain will let us land I shall do so.” “Are you so eager to get on shore as all that?” Marion questioned, with a smile. “Eager! If you knew how! hate the sea and. everything connected. with it you would not ask that ques- tion!” “Oh, I love it,” Marion replied, brightly and eagerly. “I would be content to go on as we have been go- ing for years.” “For years? Chiid, what are you made of? Have you no one you are longing to see—no one who is waiting to welcome you?” “No one. England is to me a strange land, and I almost dread setting my foot on it.” “You have never seen it?” “Never.” “Oh, then you have a treat in store. You will fall in love with it at once. It is the most delightful country in the world.” “T hope I may find it so,” Marion answered, with a little sigh, and then she passed on to her own stateroom. It felt very warm and cosy after the cold, clammy air of the upper deck, and instead of putting on her heavy coat and going out again she began to take stock of her possessions. She had still in-her purse, which she car- ried slung round her waist, about $700 as well as a few gems that might easi- ly be converted into gold. Her ward- robe was not of any particular value, and whether the papers in the silver box were to be reckoned as an asset or not she could not determine. But at any rate she felt tolerably secure for the moment whatever might hap-| pen. (To Be Continued.) | SMUGGLING CANDY. One Dealer Who Helps the Boarding | bala: School Girls to Get Sweets. A certain city in which flourish in- numerable boarding schools has a; candy store which is the secret Mec- ca of every girl who can escape from her chaperon long enough to hasten to its hospitable door. The name of the city shall not be divulged; for the matrons and house mothers and chaperons and principals and all the other supervisors of re appetites and purses of their respect- ive flocks might happen to see this and get wise. These supervisory personages have j shown a cruel hardness of heart on the subject of candy which has made it necessary for the owners of a sweet tooth to use up much gray matter in eluding the prohibitions which have been pronounced against sweets. They have a friend and abettor in the man who owns the candy store mentioned above. If you happen to be a girl of boarding. school age and to go into his store to buy candy he gives you a kindly and confidential smile’as he says: “Want it tied up in school style?” Then, if you say yes, he goes through a most extraordinary perfor- mance. He wads paper into outland- ish lumpy shapes and stuffs it in around the candy box until when the package finally completed, wrap- ped and handed out to you, no one— except a school girl who is in the se- cret—would dream what was in it. It might contain a tin trumpet, or a toy horse and wagon, or a pair of shoes, or a clock. But no one, not even a chaperon, would think of can- dy. The girls carry their forbidden sweets home to the school under her very eyes and she is none the wiser. ‘Looking Ahead. “FHaven’t you decided yet! where you're to spend the summer?” “O, yes; mother insists upon New- port, but she and father are hopeless- ly divided about where we'll spend the fall.” “Indeed?” “Yes, mother says the mountains and father says the almshouse.” Limitations. “Why do you always summers inland?” “We own our own mountain.” “IT see, Even money can’t buy an individual ocean.” spend your A Pleasant Topic. “She’s very aloof and austere, but I got her interested.” “How?” “By asking her how she ever came to marry her dub of a husband.” If you have occasion to tell a man what you really think of him use a long-distance telephone.
