It Always Helps says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. | was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. [ soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. 1 wish every suffering woman would give CARDUI The Woman’s Tonic a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad, and it always does me good.” Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman- ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman'’s fonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui for your trouble, It has been helping weak, ailing women for more than fifty years.

Mike waited to finish hauling the blue shirt over his head, and then re- plied: “Oh, be Hivins, the finest in the worrld!

A hand and the griz- | zled beard of old Ferguson, the chief, | protruded for a brief instant. “Hey, ketch this!” he called in a stage whisper, as he flung his pipe into | the yawning emptiness of the fire- room with a fatalistic confidence that | was inspiring. It seemed as if the entire plant al- ways ran with clock-like smoothness and precision until the very minute the superintendent entered on his in- spection tour; then the most unex- pected things would happen, giving that fiery-tempered official occasion to berate all concerned. Now, Mike could hear his high-pitched voice, reading | the riot act to the chief inside. After half an hour, the tumult with- in baving subsided, it was believed “His Nibs” had gone without bother- | ing their department, an always hoped i for, but seldom realized, experience. Mike threw his brass-cleaning equip- ,iment in a corner and leaned against The fire-room was warm and the air | heavy with evaporation from the wet g‘ the wall. He was completely worn out. floor. Almost immediately he dozed off, standing upright as he was. Suddenly the engine-room door was flung wide open. A tall, bony, stoop- ' | shouldered man, his face nearly hidden i . | squarely in the doorway, both hands in his overcoat pockets, glaring sav- , | agely into the fire-room. The super's eyes at once nailed the sleeping man. Not a facial quiver be- | trayed his intentions. Slowly, deliber- ately, he entered the fire-room and | traversed its length, scanning every detail with a quick, comprehensive glance. A long, bony finger shot out from the superintendent’s side and bored a hole between Mike's ribs. fireman's eyes came open slowly, and, to a disinterested spectator, the trans- formation that passed over his feat- ures would have appeared comical. “Hey, how long have you been here?"” “S-o-r-r?” asked bewildered Mike. “How long have you worked here?” “Goin' on eight years, s-o-r-r.” “What time do you get relieved?” “At twilve o'clock, s-o-r-r.” “All right; when you go out, you stay out, do you hear?” “Yis, s-o-r-r.” As the superintendent flitted away their respective doses of venom, it suddenly dawned upon Mike that he was discharged. The spirit of murder welled up in his heart, but he re- strained it. Nobody had ever accom- plished anything by an appeal to His Nibs, except to add to that amiable need was desperate. For the sake of Norah and the baby, he would humble himself. Choking back the desire to kill, he feigned hu- mility and approached the {yrant. “Av ye plase, s-o-r-r, Mr.—" “Get out—get out—I don't want any talk from you; your steam is two pounds low now.” yep=" “Shut up—shut up, 1 tell ye—get | away from me; you're drunk.” appetite for blood merely whetted. As Mike packed up the traps that had accumulated in his closet during | his more than seven years’ incum- bency, he kept muttering to himself: “An' me wid on’y wan day's pay airned.” When the relief came in at noon, Billy Doyle slapped him on the shoul- | der. | ‘Hello, Mike, what ye lookin’ so blue about? Have His Nibs been troo?” As Mike picked up his bundle and shambled toward the door, he replied | wearily: “He have.” “Well, Mike, an’ how's the new | “She's not | 1 had a bit 0’ | | by o fiery red broom of a beard, stood | The big) to deal to Darby and the coal-passer | gentleman's gratification—but Mike's | “But, so-r-r, I on’y wanted ter ax | " Having thus glibly pronounced the | doom of a family, His Nibs hastened | to the office of the chief lineman, his | HER CROWNING GLORY § By MARGARITA WILLOUGHBY.: [ 00000000000000000000000000 0] t Dorothea “Sgsp};’rgg? )hnppy in the | first weeks of her engagement, happy in the seremely unconscious way of the newly betrothed. I scarcely un- derstood why in this case, for mar- riage to the Puritan could be nothing but a marriage of convenience—that ; is, convenience as far as his wealth was concerned, inconvenience when it came to his piety. Perhaps the trousseau was the source of her beatitude, for Dorothea is an artist in regard to clothes and loves them with an artist's fervor. And an artist's fervor was put into that trousseau! In the midst of these splendid prep- aration came Aunt Nan's sickness, and Dorothea was called South. The Puritan chafed somewhat at the sudden postponement. During the months of Dorothea's { absence I knew very little of her, for her letters were mere telegraphic no- tices of Aunt Nan’s condition, but the moment she stepped off the train on her return I noticed a change. It was quite evident she had met “some one” else, and I knew Indeed it was “some one.'" “You left Aunt Nan quite well?” “Quite.” Oh, the frigid finality of that tone! “The Puritan will be very happy to see you again—he {8 out of town just now."” H¥asal When we were cozily at tea that evening, with a merry gratefire and the warmth of red roses from the Puri- tan, Dorothea grew a little more talk- ative. “Dorothea, your seclusion and Aunt Nan's foibles have got on your nerves. You are not well,” T said. “No—I am quite well—I think I must be tired. If you don't mind, I will go up now and unpack. No, I don’t need any help.” She rose listlessly the stairs; half-way up she paused and leaned over the rail. “No, I'm not sick,” she said; “I'm just bored.” Next morning she still wore her tragic alr. At breakfast, Katie, the mald, en- tered the dining room precipitately after answering g ring at the door— she held a yellow envelope at arm's length and the tears were standing in her eyes. “I hope {t's not so bad, Miss Darthy, dear,” she said, thrusting it at Doro- thea. Dorothea lazily tore open the en- valope, read the message and sighed, then handed it over to me. “No one is dead, Katie,” she said. And Katie went back to the kitchen, quite comforted. The message read: and walked to “IToma tomorrow. Shall have pleas- ure of escorting you to church. “F. Van Doort.” F. Van Doort, of course, is ‘“the Puritan.” Dorothea did not show any signs of enthusiasm, and I did not have tho courage to make any remarks-—so the meal drifted on. Once I looked up from my plate and found Dorothea looking out the window with the most mischievously amused expression I have ever seen any one wear. Then she arose, still with the smile in her eyes and the little upturn at the cor- ners of the lips, and said: “I am going to town as soon as possible.” She went to town and came back with a few small packages, but said nothing in regard to their contents. The next morning 1 knew It was ten wken the Puritan’s trap dashed up to the gate. From my open- doored den 1 heard Katie admit him, heard Dorothea come downstairs, and heard—a most unusual conversation. She—Good morning, Frederic. He—Good morning, my dear Doro- thea; it is good to have you back again. She—Thank you—it.seems years. He—What have you done to your- self, Dorothea? Your hair presents a most unusual appearance, She—Oh, that! Do you like {t? It’s the same old hair you've always seen, only—only I've done it a bit different- ly, that’'s all.

The details of the great Tower of | Babel, the remains of which utilitar fan Turkish contractors removed from the face of the earth, are insured to us by the finding, recently, of the clay tablet or book, describing the tower | at Babylon. I It was George Smith, the Assyri- ologist, of the British Museum, who had in his hands the inscription, but died before being able to complete his examination of it. His description of the tablet was often quoted, but no one knew its whereabouts till it came to light again in the hands of the Rev. V. Scheil. After descriptions of the temples and shrines, the writer turns to the Tower itself. This s the Tower's de- scription: [ One hundred fifty feet square, 55 feet high, of worked brick, was the lowest stage. One hundred thirty feet square, 30 | feet high, enameled, the second. One hundred feet square, 10 feet high, recessed, the third. Eighty-five feet square, 10 feet high, | recessed, the fourth.

Birds Interest English Cabinet. The water fowl in St. James's Park seem to exercise a quiet fascination over cabinet ministers. Lloyd George frequently stands by the lakeside ad- miring the birds, particularly the pell- cans, and discussing their points of interest with his young daughter. Oc- casionally John Burns patronizes the birds with more than a passing glance as he strides along the graveled paths, Other members of the ministry have been seen recently meditating on the peaceful life of the fenthered water dwellers. I saw Sir Edward Grey walk across from the foreign office into the park, accompanied by a for- eign friend, and for fully a quarter of an hour he turned his thoughts from such mundane things as {inter- national and home politics to an ex- position of the merits and peculiari- tles of the floating fowl.-learpool‘ Courler. | Correct Hint.
