Her prospects of get t-Wga husband, she complains, liave been blighted, for wealthv Mr. Poole scare<l awavduring all these years with a pistol other young men who came a-wooing. Miss Peursalls is a trained nurse. Mrs. Poole, the mother of t ho defendant, engaged her as a companion 22 years ago. She ? had not been in the house two ?fays, she says, when Richard Poole, Jr., the heir to the Poole estates, began to make love to | her. The attachment between j his son and the poor little com- r panion angered his wealthy father, so he drove the girl from the house, and she went to the Inwne of her uncle, Colonel Storey,! near by. Prom that day until two weeks [ ago young Poole was a nightly ??idler at the Storey residence. Hundreds of times, she says, he s?oke of a marriage, but said lie feared the wrath of his father, j who might- disinherit him. He carried a pistol, and de clared that-be would shoot any man who attempted to call on lew. He would prowlaround the house Lite at night and with his shotgun guard his sweetheart from the intrusion of outsiders. tie UNfU to come to woo wiui a copy of Meredith'B "Lucille" un der his arm and a pistol in his pocket. He would read tender passages from t he book as they sat, 011 the porch of Colonel Storey's residence. The girl had a sweet contralto voice, and would wing "Then You'll Remem ber me" for her sweet heart. Miss I'earsalls told her suitor 15 years ago that they were growing old and should wed soon. "Wait until father dies," he said, "and then I'll make you! my wife." Seven years ago old Richard I'oole died. Ills estate was divided between three children. Richard, Jr., received $500,000. Still he did not wed Miss I'ear salls. Two weeks ago Richard asked nis sweetheart to go for a drive. "You can't tell what [ might, happen before we retuht," j said lie with a knowing smile. Miss I'earsalls donned ner best silk dress and sat at her window awaiting him. Richard soon drove up, hut instead of stopping at Miss I'earsalls' house he turned the team in front of her door, coldly bowed to her and crossed the ? street to the residence of the vil lage schoolmistress. Miss I'earsalls fainted when Richard came out of the house with the schoolrnarni on his arm. j lie handed her into the carriage, and with a wave of his hand to | Miss I'earsalls, drove away. She declares that she watched j tearfully for his return that] evening, but for the first time in j 22 years he failed to call. I'oole was served with the pa- ] pen to-dav. "What's this!" he said.

Girl Kept In a Dungeon Twenty-five Years Because she was True to ber Sweetheart. The following strange story of: mi unnatural mother was sent out from Paris, France, Satur day: The death in prison of Mine Monnier a wealthy but miserly landowner in the neighborhood of Poitiers, forms the climax in n drama the pathos and horror ot which has been the sensation of the we k in Paris. The story has its beginning in the romantic attachment of hei daughter Blanche to a lawyei without means twenty-five years j ago. At that time Mile. Blanchi was a beautiful tall brunette, with a wealth of hair and big, brilliant eyes. She was a belle in the neighborhood of Poitiers, and was sought by more than one. But her btart was true to thej man of her choice. The mother, however, had more ambitious plans for her beautiful childhood. At first she argued with her, then pleaded, and found both of no avail. Finally she determined that the girl should not marry the penniless lawyer under any circumstances. She! talked the matter over with her son, who was at one time a Sub Prefect of the Department of Vienne, and together they de termined upon a plan which they felt would prevent the marriage. One night the girl was locked in a room in the house. The mother be belived that in timethegirl would relent and do as she was bidden, but despite threats and impris onment the young woman clung to her love. Time passed and Mile. Blanche' was 110 longer young. The law jyer died in 1885. During all that time the girl wasconfined in the lonely room, fed with scraps from the mother's table when sne received food at all. Her only companions were the rats that gathered to eat the hard crusts that she threw upon the floor. Not a ray of light pent trated her dungeon, and what she suffered j can only be surmised. \V hen she was found her reason was par tially gone, and very little hope was expressed for her recovery. The police were anonymously notified that Mile. Blanche Mon nier was being detained ina room in the mother's house. They acted promptly on the information, and, entering Mine. Monnier's house, found the daughter lying on a bare mattress in total dark ness. She was naked and ema ciated, and was taken to a hos pital. It was thought that she would die, but she is now improv ing and has a chance for re covery. The mother and son were ar rested. The son claimed that he acted in a spirit of filial piety, and threw the responsibility on his mother. To-day Mme. Monnier died in prison of heart disease. At the Judge's examination on Thurs day the gravity of her crime was brought home to her. She be came ill, and her sudden death followed this morning in the! infirmary of the prison. You may as well expect to run a steam engine without water as to find an active energetic man with a torpid liver and you may know that his liver is torpid when he does not relish his food, or feels dull and languid after eat ing, often bus headache and some times dizziness. A few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and liver Tablets will restore his liver to its normal functions, j renew his vitality, improve his I ' digestion and make him feel like a new man. l'rice 25 cents.

They are kncwu by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other p&isons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash ami the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in thi9 class of diseases cover up for a short time, but eannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, | disfiguring pimples. ?"tornai vigilance is tho prioo cf a beautiful complexion | when such remedies are relied on. Mr. II. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue. St. I.ouia, Ms , says : "Mj daughter was afHicted for years with a'disfiguring eruption on her face, which ! resisted all treatment, she was taken to two celebrated health spring*, but received no bene | fit. Marty medicines were prescribed, but wtth j out result, until we decided to try S. S S., and by I the time the first bottle wasfinishrd theeruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles curea her completely and left her skin perfectly sinootb. She tc now seventeen year? old. and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned." S. S.
