SRS HON. GEORGE W. HONEY. Hon. George W. Honey, National Chaplain U. V. U., ex-Chaplain Fourth Wisconsin Cavalry, ex-Treasurer State of Wisconsin, and ex-Quartermaster General State of Texas G. A. R., writes from 1700 First St., N. E., Washington, D. C., as follow: “TI cannot too highly recommend your preparation for the relief of catarrhal troubles in their variousforms. Some members of my own family have used it with most gratifying results. When other remedies failed, Peruna proved most efficacious and I cheerfully certi- its curative excellence.” Fred L. Hebard, for nine years a leading photographer of Kansas City, Mo., located at the northeast corner of | 12th and Grand Aves., cheerfully gives the following testimony: “Itis a proven fact that Peruna will cure catarrh and | Ja grippe, and asa tonic it has no equal. Drugyrists have tried to make me take something else ‘just as good,’ but Peru- na is good enough for me.” Pe-ru-na in Tablet Form. For two years Dr. Hartman and his assistants have incessantly labored to | create Peruna in tablet form, and their | strenuous labors have just been crowned with success. People who object to liquid medicines can now secure Peru- na tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Freedom and License. “These Paterson anarchists,” said H. K. Adair, the western detective, have about the same ideas of free- dom and the privileges of a free coun- try as my little boy Bill has. “The United States is a free land, ain’t it, pa!” said Bill the other day, and he looked up from a circus poster full of cuts of somersaulting automo- biles, of balloon races and of elephants revolving two by two in the ‘Merry Widow’ waltz. “Yes, Billy boy, this is a free coun- try,’ said L. “*Then,’ said Bill, ‘why don’t they let a feller into the circus without paying.’” PRESCRIBED CUTICURA After Other Treatment Failed—Raw Eczema on Baby’s Face Had Lasted Three Months—At Last Doctor Found Cure. “Our baby boy broke out with ec- zema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. I gave him three months’ treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby’s. He is now two years and a half old and no eczema has reappeared. Mrs. M. L. Harris, Alton, Kan., May 14 and June 12, 1907.” Elaborate Sarcasm. “Your jokes are better some days than others,” commented the undiplo- matic friend. “Those are the days the office boy assists me,” responded the press hu- morist. “But he won’t help me out every day.” important to Mothers.

There were over thirty women in His heart said something rather dif- {the arrangement work admirably on ferent: I alarmed her a little. I ought to have been more careful. She cannot un- derstand why I should want to be her friend, knowing who she is, and know- ing ,as she does, something of our fam- ily pride. She has not known me long enough to be quite sure of me. She remembers what I said in Exeter—I wish she didn’t—and she fears there is something other than good will be- hind. I must make it my business to remove every suspicion and win her full confidence. She must trust me be- fore she can love me.” He returned to his work of indexing, resolved to put the whole subject out of his mind for the rest of the day. He would be master of himself, and outwardly he carried his resolve into execution. He stuck to his work with a steady persistence that did him credit. . The brain, however, wotks uncon- sciously, almost automatically. He fixed his mind well upon the task he had in hand, but his subconscious self was somewhere else, and was passing through quite a different set of emo- tions. Books, books, books — sections— date—editions—occupied his attention to the full; and all the while his sub- conscious self was saying, “Marion ought to know. It may be of great importance to her. It would be easy to call round after tea. Esther’s let- ter is more than an excuse. If she objects to see me—well, at any rate, I shall have done my duty.” His day’s work was done at last, and he hurried rapidly away of incerti- tude. He felt as though his brain or his body was the receptacle of two antagonistic personalities; which would win the day was still a matter of considerable doubt. Should he go to Chingford Terrace, o rshould he not? His love inclined in one direction, his pride in the oth- er. But in the end love won. He jumped up from his chair as if a rocket had exploded underneath, jerked on his overcoat without any | consideration of the seams, jammed on his hat at a very considerable an- gle, and hurried into the street. He seemed afraid of himself—afraid lest his resolution should evaporate before he got fairly under way. He walked rapidly at first, but after a while settled down to a slower pace. Now that he had conquered his pride he felt happier than he had done for the day. Love, undimmed by any cloud of bitterness, warmed and com- forted him. The thought of looking again into Marion’s clear, honest eyes thrilled him to the finger tips. He reached Chingford Terrace at length and without difficulty, and marched boldly up to the door of No. 44 and pulled the bell. Then he wait- ed with his heart in his mouth, won- dering what kind of reception he would get. * * . . * * When Clement’s card was handed to Marion she gave a little gasp and all the color suddenly left her cheeks. Fortunately, however, the servant was not an observant person and did not notice her confusion. “Where is he?” she asked, after a moment, in as different a tone as she could command and without raising her eyes. “In the ’all, miss.” “Is there any one in the drawing room?” “J don’t think so. None of the oth- er lidies hey returned yet.” “Oh, then, show him into the draw- ing room and say I will see him in a few minutes.’ “Yes, miss,’ ’and Lucy turned at once and left the room. Marion heard the drawing room door open and shut; heard Lucy’s footsteps die away towards the kitchen; then she placed her hand to her side and drew a long breath. She had felt troubled and perplexed all the day, and this unexpected visit added greatly to her perplexity. She could not help wondering how he had discov- ered her whereabouts. His pertinac- ity almost made her angry, and yet she was conscious of a feeling that was distinctly pleasurable. She had been feeling particularly lonely all the day. The Guild of Women Workrs saw comparatively little of each other. Occasionally a few of them spent an hour together in the evening, and now and then on Sunday they spnt a day together, but in the main each pursued her own way. Some were journalists, some typists, some teachers, some artists, and a few like Marion were preparing for work in the future, hence as a whole they had not a great deal in common. Those engaged in the same occupation were often jealous of each other, and those who were preparing to compete with them were not re- garded with exuberantly friendly feel- ings. Besides all that, women in the main are not constitutionally clubba- ble. They will kiss each other when they meet and part, and gush and chatter delightfully over a cup of tea, but very few of them will trust each other. And, frail as they all are, each has only contempt and no forgiveness for their frailties of the others. “She is young and timid and| the arrangement work admirably on the score of cheapness and conveni- ence, and were loud in their praises of the Guild’s beneficent work. But here was little genuine fraternity as men understand that term—the spirit of camaraderie was chronically lack- ing. Marion was intensely grateful for the shelter she had found. She be- lieved that her steps had been direct- ed by God. Every night she gave thanks that in that great city she had found a home and protection, and the chance of earning her bread; but she was lonely still, and her heart often cried out for something she did not possess. She often looked back with longing eyes to those peaceful days at Maw- gan Chase. In many respects they were the happiest period of her life. The air of refinement, the detachment from the world, the old-world courte- sies, the gentle restraints, touched a chord in her nature that ever since had never ceased to vibrate. Her memory of Esther would remain to the end, she believed, among her choicest possessions. But for the shadow of that wrong her father did, how different might have been her life!’ The discovery she had made in Exeter had changed everything. She had trusted Clement Mawgan before —trusted him gratefully and implicit- ly. Now she feared hm. He must re- gard her with hatred and loathing; how could it be otherwise? And if he wanted to see her, how could it bode anything but evil? And yet her heart gave the lie to her reasoning, and resented the inter- pretation she had put on his words and looks the day before. During most of the night she had lain awake staring into the darkness. At one moment she blamed herself for fears, at another she commended her- self for her prudence; and so, like a pendulum, she swung from point to point, and found no rest.” She recalled almost every word that passed between them; recalled his looks and gestures. She had been glad to see him—there was no deny- nying that. The sight of his face was like the gleam of water to a thirsty traveler. He looked very handsome, too. She had scarcely noticed before how good looking he was, and certain- ly his manner was not that of a man planning revenge. He was a gentle- man from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. She heaved another big sigh as she moved towards the door. She would have to see him, have to explain things, apologize for her rudeness, and then say good-bye for ever. Surely down in his heart he must desire that as much as she did? She sighed again, with her hand on the door knob. She did not desire anything of the kind. She could not imagine anything sweeter or pleas- anter than Clement Mawgan’s friend- ship. If only they could meet on equal terms she would be the happiest girl in the world. That, however, could never be. Neither time nor change could remove the dark shadow of her father’s wrong. It stood be- tween them like a menacing ghost. It would remain there to the end. She was very pale, but quite self- possessed, when she stood in his pres- ence. He thought he had never seen her look more winning, and his heart went out to her in a great longing. “I must apologize for this intru- sion,” he said, a little awkwardly; “put a letter from my sister this morning seemed to warrant—even to necessitate—this visit.” Her face relaxed a little. “Won't you be seated?” she said. “I hope your sister is well.” ; “I presume so. At least, she says nothing to the contrary. But she is worried about the presence of a strange man in St. Chloe, and has convinced herself that he has designs on your property.” She smiled a little wistfully, but did not interrupt him. “I confess I should not have at- tached much importance to Bsther’s letter,” he went on, “but for what wou told me of Mr. Evans, whom you met in Exeter.” “I do not see the connection,” she said, quietly. “The man appeared at St. Chloe a few days after you left Exeter. He calls himself Nevins, pretends to be an invalid, and spends all his time, as Esther puts it, grubbing along the sea- shore. He has told a good many peo- ple that a relative of his was a pas- senger on the Nebraska, who lost among other things a cowhide trunk containing a good many valuables, and that this relative, whose name he says is Webster, hearing that he was staying at St. Chloe for his health, has commissioned him to keep his eye on the wreckage that may be washed ashore, so that in case his trunk makes its appearance nobody may run away with it.” “You say his relative’s name is Webster?” “Robert Webster, I believe. At any rate, he says the trunk is stamped with the initials ‘R. W” “But there was no one of that name on board the Nebraska,” she said, with knitted brows. “I feel absolutely cer- tain there was not.” : “That, of course, is a point of great importance,” he said, “and confirms Esther’s view of the case. Ske has gone intothe matter witha good deal of care. You see, she is greatly inter- ested in you, and always will be.” “Tt is more than kind of your sister,” she answered, with averted eyes. “Oh, no; don’t say that,” he replied, warmly. “We are all interested in you, as a matter of fact. I believe you doubt me; at least, I’m afraid you do. But that doesn’t prove anything, does it?” he finished lamely. She blushed and looked up at him with frank, questioning eyes. “T mean everything I have said. I do indeed,” he went on, simply and sincerely. “You treated me yesterday as though I wasn’t to be trusted. Be- lieve me, I wouldn’t hurt a hair of your head, and I’d give all I possess to make you happy. That isn’ tmuch, I know, but I hope to make a position | for myself some day. But we are get- ting away from the subject a bit, are we not?” and he laughed. pleasantly. “Please go on,” she said, and she smiled one of her old winsome smiles, which went straight to his heart. “I don’t think there is much to be told how things are going. I can’t help thinking that Nevins and Evans are the same person. I may be mis- taken, of course; but putting two and two together, it seems a natural con- clusion.” “Why?” “Because he knew Mr. Mayhew, and probably your father. Because also you told him about the silver box, which greatly interested him. Isn’t that so?” “It is so. He asked dozens of ques- tions about it.” “And if it be true that there was nobody of the name of Webster on the Nebraska, and the only trunk on board stamped with the initials ‘R. W.’ is yours, then it follows as clearly as night follows day that he wants to purlein your property, and the only man who knows anything about your trunk and the silver box beyond our- selves—I include mother and Esther, of cou and possibly Tom Grayton— is th Evans, whom you took in- to your confidence in ©xeter.” “But suppose he got possession of it, of what value would it be to him?” “I don’t know. That’s where the mystery comes in. That’s what we’ve got to find out, as I told you yester- day. But the chief thing is to prevent him getting possession of it.” “But how is that to be prevented? What do you advise?” “Well, you can do nothing, of course. | I may not be able to do very much. But if you will leave the matter to me and Esther and Tom Grayton— that means trusting us as friends, of course—I think we shall manage to see the thing through.” “Will yeu forgive me for my rude- ness yesterday?” she said, with tears in her eyes. “You are more than good to me.” “Not another word please,” he said, laughing. “As long as I have your confidence, that will do for the pres- ent. But we shall be bound to meet occasionally,” “Of course we shall,” she answered, with sparkling eyes. “And won’t it be delightful?” She was a child again for the mo- ment, and the menacing shadow had passed from between them. (To Be Continued.} SCARLET FEVER HEART. Peculiarity Lately Noticed by Ger- | man Medical Men. The scarlet fever heart is a pecul- iarity lately noticed, for the first time, by a German medical man. With the stethoscope it is recognized by a re- duplication of the first heart sound, followed by a rough hasping or scrap- ing, and this appears at the onset of many cases of scarlet fever, often when no other symptoms are to be! detected. In some epidemics may be heard in the majority -of cases, while at other times they may be quite regularly absent. Their pres- ence is of great value in diagnosis, and may be the only warning signal to guard against the spread of infec- tion. A boy who was pale, languid and anaemic had no other symptoms except the irregular heart sounds. From these his case was decided to be scarlet fever, and subsequent peel- ing of the skin proved the correctness of the diagnosis. Certain children in the chicken-pox ward of a hospital were restless and obviously ill. The heart sounds indi- cated scarlet fever, and in these cases, too, desquamation followed, al- though there had been no eruption or other sign. Directly afterward this ward had an outbreak of scarlet fever in its usual form. A Church Built by One Man. At Stivichal, near Coventry, there is a church which ig unique among places of worship. In 1810 a stone- mason named John Green laid the first stone of the building and seven years later he completed the edifice. Dur- ing that period he declined assistance from any one, doing all the work him- self until the building was ready for its interior fittings. This, it is said, is the only stone structure in England of which every stone was laid by one man. A Poor Theory. “They say that millionaires with curtailed incomes suffer more than poor people under similar ¢ircum- stances.” * “On what grounds, sir?” “I s’pose on the theory that it’s harder to give up terrapir than corn- ed beef.” these sounds | Their Game. A poor lady the other day hastened to the nursery and said to her little daughter; “Minnie, what do you mean by shouting and screaming? Play quietly, like Tommy. See, he doesn’t make a sound.” “Of course, he doesn’t,” said the little girl. “That is our game. He is papa coming home late, and I am you.” AWFUL GRAVEL ATTACKS. Cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills After Years of Suffering. F. A. Rippy, Depot Ave., Gallatin, Tenn., says: “Fifteen years ago kid- ney disease attacked me. The pain inmy back was so agoniz- ing I finally: had to give up work. Then came terrible attacks of gravel with acute pain and passages of blood. In all I passed 25 stones, some as Wy. large as a_ bean. Nine years of this ran me down to a state of continual weakness and I thought I never would be better until I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills. The improvement was rapid, and since using four boxes I am cured and have never had any return of the trouble.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.
