Wine of Cardui
Cured Her.
213 South Prior Street, :'
Atlanta, Ga., Hatch 21, 1903.
I suffered for four months with
extreme nervousness and lassitude,
I had a linking feeling in my
stomach which no medicine seemed
to relieve, and losing mj appetite
I became weafc and lost my vital
ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen
pounds of flesh and felt that I most
find speeay reiiet to regain my
health. Having heard Wine of
Cardui praised by -several of my
friends, I sent (or a bottle and was
certainly, very pleased with the
results. 'Within three days my
appetite returned and my stomach
troubled me no more. I cotQd
digest my food without difficulty
and the; nervousness gradually
diminished. : Nature performed
her functions without difficulty
and I am once mora a happy and
well woman." " '

"Harry," she Interrupted gently, but
very flrmly, "you must not say what
you were going to aay. I cannot allow
It Money came between us before.
It must not do so again. Am I not
right, dear?"
She smiled at him with the lips of a
child and the eyes of a woman.
"Tea," be agreed after a struggle,
"you are right But now I must be
gin, air over again. It will be a long
time before I shall be able to claim
yon. I have my way to make."
"Yes," said she diplomatically.
"But you!" be cried suddenly. "The
papers remind me. How about that
Morton?"
"What about himr asked the girl,
astonished. "He is very happily en
gaged." Thorpe's face slowly filled with
blood.
"You'll break; the engagement at
once," be commanded, a little harshly.
"Why. should I break the engage
ment?" demanded Hilda, eying him
with some alarm.
"You actually don't think he's en
gaged to me!" she burst out finally.
"I.n't be?" asked Thorpe.
"Why, no, stupid! He's engaged to
Elizabeth Carpenter, Wallace's slater.
Now where did you get that silly
Idea?"
"I saw It In the paper."
"And you believe all you seel Why
didn't yon ask Wallace? Bat of course
you wouldn't Harry, you are the
most Incoherent dumb old brute I ever
saw. I could shake you. You need a
wife to Interpret things for you. You
speak a different language from moat
people?' She salAjthls between-laughing
and crying, between a-tense of the
ridiculous uselessnaas, of withholding
single timely word and a tader pathet
ic intuition of the Buffering men a na
ture, must endure.
Suddenly she jumped to her feet with
nn exclamation.
Oh, Harry, I'd forgotten utterly P
she cried In laughing consternation.
"I have a luncheon here at half paat
1. It's almost that now. I must run
and dress. Just look at me: Just look!
You did that"
"I'll wait here until the confounded
thing is over," said Thorpe.
Oh, no. you won't!" replied Hilda
decidedly. "You are going downtown
right now and get something to put on.
Then you are coming back hare to
stay."
Thorpe glanced In surprise at bla
driver's clothes and his spiked boots.
"Heavens and earth!" be exclaimed.
"I should think sot Bow am I to get
out without ruining the floor r
Hilda. laughed and drew aside the
portiere. -'
Don't you think you have done that
pretty well already?" she asked,
"There, don't look .so solemn. We're
not going to be sorry for a single thing
we've done today, are we?" Sbe stood
close to him, searching his face wist
fully with ber fathomless dusky eyes.
"No, sweetheart, we are not," rep ilea
Thorpe soberly.
CHAPTER XXXVI.

the sequel In detail, to tell bow'
Hilda persuaded Thorpe to take
ber money. To a woman, aucn
as sbe this was not a very difficult task
In the lone run a few scruple, of
oride: that waa all.
"I bate to do It" he said. "It doesn't
look right."
"You must," sbe Insisted. "I will not
take the position of rich wife to poor
man. It la humiliating to both. I will
not marry you until you have made
your success."
That la right," aald Thorpe heartily.
"Well. then, are you going to be so
elfish as to keep me waiting while you
make an entirely new start, when a
little help on my part will bring your
Diana to completion?"
She saw the shadow of assent to his
eves.
"How much do yoa need?" sbe asked
ewlftlr.
"I must take up the notes," he ex
plained. "I must pay the men. I may
need something en the stock market If
I go In on tbla thing I'm going In for
keeps.. I'll get after those fellows who
nave been swindling Wallace, aay
$100000."
"Why. If a nothing r sbe cried.
I'm glad yoa think so," be replied
grimly.
Sbe ran to ber dainty escritoire
where sbe scribbled eagerly for a few
moments.
"There," she cried, ber eyes shining

road shot its way across the
broad reaches of the northern

Thorpe welcomed the smell of the
nortbland. He became almost eager,
explaining. Indicating to the girl at bis
side.
"There is the Canada balsam," be"
cried. "Do you remember bow I showed
it to you first? And yonder the spruce.

old logging road all filled with raspber

there, and perhaps a bear. Wouldn't

"Yes, Harry."
"I wonder what we're stopping for.

it but sort of attractive? Good deal

worked for Radway. Oh, you'll like
Badway. He's as good as gold. Helen!"
"Yes," replied bis sister.
"I want you to know Radway, He's
the man who gave me my start"
"All right. Harry." laughed Helen.
"I'll meet anybody or anything from
bears to Indians."
"I know nn Indinn, too Oeezlgut an

"What?" they all asked, breathless.
"Ifs gone. Over beyond the bills
there I caught a gliuipiw of Superior."
"You are ridiculous. Hurry." protest
ed Helen Thorpe laughingly. "I never
saw you so. You are a regular boy."
"Do you like boys?" be asked gravely
of Hilda.
"Adore them!" sbe cried.
"All right; I don't care," be answered
his slater in triumph.
The sir brakes began to make them
selves felt and shortly the train came
to a grinding stop.
"What station is this?" Thorpe ssked
the colored porter.
"Shlnglevllle, sab," the latter replied.
"I thought so. Wallace, when did
their mill burn, anyway? I haven't
beard about it"
"Last spring, about the time you
went down."
"Is that so? How did it happen?"
"They claim Incendiarism,'; parried
Wallace cautiously.
Thorpe pondered a moment then
laughed. "I am In the mixed attitude
of the small boy." be observed, "who

good thing for us. The man who set
that fire did us a good turn. If it
hadn't been for the burning of their
mill tbey would have made a stronger
flgbt sgalnat us In the stock market'
Wallace and Hilda exchanged
glances. The girl was long since aware
of the Inside history of those days.
"You'll have to tell them that" she
whispered over the back of ber seat
"It will please them."
"Our station la next!" cried Thorpe,
"and it's only a little ways. Come,
get ready!"
They all crowded Into the narrow
passageway near the door, for the train
barely paiiwd.
"All right sab." said the porter,
swinging down bla little step.
. Thorpe ran down to help the ladies.
He wss nearly taken from his feet by
a wildcat yell, aud a moment later that
result was actually accomplished by
a ruab of men that tossed him bodily
on to Its shoulders. At the same mo
ment tbe mill and tog whistles began
to screech sod miscellaneous firearms
exploded. Even tbe locomotive engineer,
In tbe spirit of tbe occasion, leaned
down heartily oo bis whistle rope.
Tbe sawdust street wss filled with
screaming. Jostling men. Tbe homes
of the town were brilliantly draped
with cheesecloth, sags and booting.

At once the racket ceased. Every

a most pleasant duty to fulfill. Tbey
have asked me to tell you bow glad
tbey are to aee you. That is surely un
necessary. Tbey have also asked me
to congratulate you on having won the

"You done 'em good!" "Can't down

"BALLED" PARTRIDGES.
Th. R.ault of Hatching on Clay Soil
In Wat w.ath.r.
In certain districts where the soil
is exactly right, or, rather, exactly
wrong, the partridges so carefully
preserved in England are likely to
be attacked by a peculiar misfortune
known as "balling." The word
means simply that a partridge
hatched out on a clay soil in wet
weather may find the mud adhering
to its feet as it struggles along after
the mother bird.
This is a email beginning, but the
chances are that the earth accumu
lates. Sometimes indeed the soil at
tached to the foot of a little par
tridge will increaso from a mere
speck to a weight of several ounces.
A writer in Badminton's Magazine
says that the heaviest ball he ever
knew weighed four ounces, and the
bird which carried it was only half
its proper size, although the rest of
the covey were full grown. The lit
tle creature could only move along
in a kind of nying scramble, drag
ging tbe ball on the ground.
The clav was baked as hard as a
brick, so that it was no easy matter
to remove it. Finally it was soaked
off, and then it became apparent
that the bird, without its accustom
ed ballast, did not know how to fly.
With every effort it tumbled head
over heels and learned the natural
mode onlv after loner trvinir.
The fate of a "balled" partridge
which is not rescued by tome kind
ly band is a cruel one. Day by day
the burden grows heavier, and the
it - it i it.. El
more me cnica scram Dies aiier us
companions the larger its burden
becomes. Finally it is no longer
possible to move at all, and then the
little thing can but give up and die,
Naturalists say that this balling
of birds is one of naturrs pro
visions for scattering seeds. It is
easy to demonstrate this, and the
"answer comes true." One experi
menter scattered the earth from a
three ounce ball over the top of a
pan of ordinary dirt, which had been
baked to destroy the seeds in it. Ten
plants sprang up in due time and
developed mio xcven varieties.
A Sermon on Kissing.
It must rciiiro no small amount
01 cournto nn the part of a Church
of England clergyman to preach a
sermon on "kutuini." The deed was
recently done in an Anglican
church in the most fashionable
nburb of Melbourne. Naturally a
good many giggling girls were in
evidence among the congregation.
They doubtless yielded iheir assent
to tho preacher's preliminary propo
sition that "a kiss is one of the most
pleasant of earthly things" and that
"a kiss is not perfect unless it is ex
pected and reciprocated." The bulk
of the sermon was devoted to Scrip
tural forms of tho practke the
kias of peace, the kiss of reconcilia
tion, the kiss of consecration, etc.

More Sleep Needed.
roysicians are rising up to say
that this country is going to the
dogs because tbe men and women
in it do not sleep enough. For
tunately for tbe country as an entity,
the prevailing poverty of sleep does
not fit the rural districts. Men and
women and children slept there, and
they are all the better for it.
It is in the towns that sleep is en
croacbed upon by business or pleas
ure or society until there is not
much of it left in night hours at any
rate. And night was primarily made
for sleep. The meaning of dark ness
is sleep. Sleep is recuperation for the
weary brain and body, and it is as
essential to-day as it ever was or ever
will be. Nature's demands cannot
be changed by business or society or
i the desire for pleasure. Sleep is tbe
only fhing that will make good the
wear and tear of life, and nature's
call to sleep should not be ignored.
It should be heeded to the fullest
possible extent.
It is not possible to say how many
hours mankind should sleep. Some
need more, some lees. Ben Frank
lin said, "Six hours of sleep for a
man, seven for a woman, and eight
for a fool." If this rule were revers
ed it would perhaps be better. But
there can be no general rule as to
hours. There is but one rule, and
that is this : Sleep If possible in
the night time, for that is wbat na
ture intended, and whoever crosses
nature gets tbe worst of it. The
business man or tbe society woman
who uses the hours of tbe night for
other purposes must pay the penalty
in nervousness wretchedness and
drugs and stimulants, and in a
hastening of the sleep that knows
no waking. Tbe man or woman
that sleeps 'o nights lives long.
''Do It To-day."
Tbe time-worn injunction, "Nev
er put off 'til to-morrow what you
can do to-day, is now generally
presented in this form : "Do it to
day !" That is the terse advice we
want to give you about that hacking
cougn or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks. Take
some reliable remedy for it to-day
