All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A Wv)- man can freely ta.k of lier private ill ness to a woman; thus has been es tablished this con fidence between iSIrs. Pinkham and the women of America which haa never been broken. Never has she pub lished a testimonial or nsed a letter withont the written consent of the writer, and never has the Company allowed these confidential letters to pet out of their possession, as th(» hundreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. ()nt of the vast volume of experience which_ Mrs. I'inkham has to drav,’ from, it is more than possible that she has /^I'.ined the very knowledge needed in your case. 8he asks nothing in re- tin-it except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, ricli or poor, should be cjlad to take advantage of this gener ous oiTer of assistance. Address Mrs. Pinkham, care of Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, 'Mass. Every woman ought to have Lydia E, Pinkham’s 80-page Test Book. It is not a book for general distribution, as it is too expensive. It is free and cnlj obtainable by mail. Write for it today. ii!

These last weeks had tried him sorely and his head sank upon I I'is brenst nnd ho remained there late, dcring hi affairs. The stringency of the fal' and winter had pinched h'Tri: liis own buoyant ‘ optimism , i had been badly shattered by it. The .ik .v -u control of the towering Craighill nof; \ \cai -. Ol ait u ^ iiassed from the colon el's hands. When ilie banks demand- '1 addiMonal coHaleral on loans that liad been carried easily for several 'enrs he fotind that the secinlti.''s in a number of his enterprises weie :'.oked upon coldiy by diseount boards. Eeven the Hercules National, in which iie had been a director ince its organization and which had ahvays r adi’y accommodated him, ciilkd his loans on a hint, it was '^3id, from the comptroller’s office. It was trving to Col. Craighill’s pride 'o be summoned to .the private rooms of l>anks to dismss his ovv-n affairs with men who had suddenly ceased to be friends and were now gravely nquisiiorial. They did Iheir best for him, 1 hough: even his bonds and .-it(jfk in the Craighill building corpo ra-ion were ‘’deposited"—that was tiie disingenuous term—with three trustees for the benrflt of creditors nnd this was a salve to his wounded vanity. With a breathing time and the return of confidence Col. Craig hill declared he would reclaim them. His faith in the great Mexican plan tation ycliemt* was unshat;en, and his colonial inve.stnents would yel prove his wisdom. He lieggt'd his inquisi tors. in their austere mahogany cab in'ts, to have patience and all would he well; values were intact; credit only hfid been stampeded; and he elted world conditions with hi.s accus- tr»med fnmiliarity, which, however, rliii tiot re!if.\f> the immediate press- intr fact that he ov.’ed a large sum of mone.\' which he could not pay. An unexpected attack in another quarter had dh:turbed him greatly: and oddly enough it was tiie Rev. .lames Paddock of the parish house at Ironstead who liad fired an arrow into the weakest plate of Col. Craig- hill's armor. 'I'he miv'ster had writ ten a letter to llio authorities direct ing attention to the vile condition of a groufi of tenements in Ironstead. not knowing who owned them, and it happened tluit one of the ohjec- ilr)nable buildings belonged to Col. • 'raighill. The .Mail, a vigorous young independent newspaper, made the most of this oj)porttmity in its red dest ink. Tbe fact that this leading ej'izen, well known for his labors in liehalf of the neproes in the South and for other notable ))hilanthro))ies far removed from Pittsburg should thus ignore the squalor at his own door, aroused Ihe Mail’s righteous in dignation, ami it demanded an inves- I a ligation by the local branch of the Service League, of which f’raighiil was the national nres- l^lvl ideiit. “Col. Craighill”—to qtiole the .Mail “is an excellent type of the after-dinner reformer, posing in the B lime-light abroal, hut avoiding the discomforts that atlcnd sincere, vig- orous parlicipation in home affairs, t Bull It is not our esteemed fellow-citizen we are after; it is the smug com placent y and cant of many men of similar high i»osition in our American ciiies, who wax eloquent in bemoan ing our political depravity, hut through cowardice oi' tiieir own cul pa hi lit.v are never heard from when tliero is any real work to be done.” f’a«lUock was sorry to have caused this explosion and he called on the colonel to explain; but Colonel Craig- hill’s rage was not appeased. He wanted to sue the newspaper, but his lawyer advised against it; the con ditions in the tenement were about as the Mail’s artist portrayed them, and there was no disputing the fact that the colonel owned the property, though, to he sure, he had lately mortgaged it. The refusal of the Star to spring to liis defense astounded Col. Craighill. it was not the Star’s business, he learned, to correct the j Mail's misstatements, and the Star,' smarting because ihe Mail had scor ed a “beat,” began, out of sheer piqtie, a Vigorous attack on the city ariministrailon. C'ol. Crnighill believed himself sin cere in his devotion to reform woric. and the Mail's assault was unfortu nate in that it evoked echoes of the familiar cynicisms against all move ments for our political and moral uplift. Gentlemen in white waist coats at banquet tables cannot re create mankind by resolution; nor do their failures mean that the people are unsound. Politics and govern ment are practical matters. Democ racy is an Ideal. And as such it can never be fully realized. It gathers strength through successive experi ments and reincarnations. The goal, always a little further on, Is sought In faith and abandoned in despair, but its changing light can never out shine the hope in man’s heart. CHAPTER XXXIII. The High Moment of Their Lives. ‘\i\’^ayne dined at the club with | Walsh the next evening and told him i of theb reak with his father. Walsh I listened In frowning silence to the end. i “It’s a mistake: it’s a great mis-j take. I’m sorry, it’s happened.” { “There was no other way; it had: to come. He had no right to jump j me becanse he’s in trouble. I’m not i responsible for all his mistakes; I’m HAVE YOU TRIED PAXTINE The Great Toilet Germicide? Tou don’t have to pay 50c or ?1.00 pint for llsterian antiseptics or per oxide. Tou can make 16 pints of a more cleansing, germicidal, healing and deodor izing antiseptic solution with on© 25c box of Paxtine,—a soluble antlseptio powder, obtainable at any drug store. Paxtine destroys germs that cause disease, decay and odors,—that is why it is the best mouth wash and gargle, and why it purifies the breath, cleanses and preserves the teeth better than ordinary dentifrices, and in sponge bathing it com pletely eradicates perspiration and other disagreeable body odors. Every dainty •woman appreciates this and its many other toilet and hygienic uses. Paxtine is splendid for sore throat. Infiamed eyes and to purify mouth and breath after smoking'. You can get Pax tine Toilet Antiseptic at any drug store, price 25c and 50c. or by mail postpaid from The Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass., who will send you a free sample If you would like to try it before buying. one of them myself and it's enough. He's hot because he let go of the mercantile company; he has to find some excuse now for doing it and he says you tricked him into selling. The money you paid him went into the hole without making any impres sion on it.” “I paid him a fair price and he know^ it. The figures were all check- cd by rhe audit company. But you had no business breaking w’ith him. I don’t like it. He means to be j square; he's taken his business too easy and now that some of these fancy schemes he’s in have gone bad and the banks are worrying him you oughtn’t to have allow-ed him to get hot. You oughtn’t to have done it, boy. And, besides, you might have helped him. You must be good for nigii on to eight hundred thousand dollars—all good stuff. It’s all clean. You don't owe anything, do you.” •'Xo; nothing w'orth mentioning.” “You ought to help him. It would be the fine thing to do. He’s your father—you can’t get away from that.” But W’^ayne was not in a mood for magnanimity. Walsh dw’elt at lengtht on his duty, on what was, in the (»1d fellow’s i>hrase. “the right thing.” He indicated concrete in stances of what might be done to help Col. Craighill back to ,a firm footing. Certain things should be dropped as worthless encumbrances: the real estate ventures would work out in time: various stocks now pledged as collateral should be re deemed. The pledging of half of Wayne’s estate would strengthen his father immensely with the creditors and might save him from ruin. Wayne listened attentively to Walsh; he saw’ that it might be done, but he feir no impulse to act on Walsh’s suggestions: he was Roger Craighill s son no longer. “Sorry I can’t see it your wa.v, Tom. bt’.t I have my side of the case, tof). ’^I'hat row yesterday proves how’ far a]iart father and I have been. If our relations had been right and what they ought to be he would have asked me for help, or I would have gone to him. But he’s always taken that high and mighty w'ay about things, treating me as though I Avere a fool, incaiiable of understanding. He doesn't reall.v appreciate the serious trouble he's in. He hardly admits that it’s a temporarry embarrassment; you know' his way. No. Tom, I don’t feel called on to do the dutiful-son act and dump dow^n on his desk the good assets I inherited from my grandfather and have added to a lit tle bit on my own account. I don’t owe father anything—not even mon- e3^ I’ve ordered my cars sent to a public garage; I’m going up now to pack my things.” “The house Is all clear; that’s your.” “Yes,” replied Wayne with sudden asperity-; “it’s my own house I’m leaving.” “Um. I hope these troubles of the colonel's won’t be hard on the little woman up . there.” He spoke half to himself, and when W'ayne asked Avhat he had said, Walsh grunted “Um” and rose from the table. Wayne found a letter in the club office. It was from Jean, written in New York. A large, plain sheet of pa per with the writing confined to a square in the centre; the handwriting small, even, distinctive. It was the first message he had ever received from her and he carried it to a quiet corner of the lounging room to read. “My grandfather is again in Pitts burg. He persists in pressing his claim against your father, though I have begged him to drop it. I am sorry to trouble you about such a matter, hut if you can see him I .wish you would try to persuade him to go home. He has brooded over his claim until he is no longed himself, and he insisted on staying there at the boarding house when I left. "The Richardsons have been kind to me in every way. I am at their house and shall be here all the time I spend in New^ York. I go to my work ^over on the East Side every day, and the settlement house peo ple look out for me and help me find the models I need. (TO BE CONTINUED.) AreYou Proodof ■Yoar Bread?
