These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but ' the secrets of suffering, and they ha.e been confided to Dr. K. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that ntpety-eighTper rent, of ell women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable if the cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment cs. more than half-a- mil lion women, in a oractice of over 40 vears. it is ohenamenal. end entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.

New York, Jan. 29 With starva tion staring her in tbe face, but re strained from asking aid by her Southern pride, Miss Georgia McClel- lan. a diminutive, well-educated girl of 25, who occupied the top floor front room of an old-fashioned three- story house at 131 West Oae Hun dred and Twenty-fifth street, killed herself this morning. Gas was found flowing freely from her little gas heat er and a jet on the wall. Siie prepared for death by tearing tip pome correspondence, taking off her shoes and stockiugs, and then ly ing on the bed to await asphyxiation. A single soda biscuit in a pasteboard box and a bottle containing about a gill of sour milk were mute evidences or her poverty, and the patchwork on her stockings and underclothing further advanced the conviction of the police that she took her life. Tbe building is owned by Mrs. Almira C. Law ton, who has a studio on the second floor, below her being a restaurant. Miss McClellan lived in toe front of the third floor, in a very small room": Mrs. Law ton said the girl became an apprentice in the shop" of Mine. Connolly in West Thirty-third street some months ago, but lost her posi tion lst week. She told Mrs. Law- ton of her trouble, but did not men tion that she was out of funds and facing starvation. During Friday and Saturday Mrs. Lawton did not see much of the girl, ind heard no sound n her room Saturday night. Miss McClellan came here from Georgia about two years ago, Mrs. Law ton said. She did not know the name of the city or town in which she lived, but said that her corres pondence, which had been torn up, would have shown. The girl's effects consist of a few articles of clothing that show that some time or other she must have been comfortably situated. The only jewelry 3he wore was a plain gold ring on the third hnger of her lert hand. ft. ousands Use iheni r W 13Y N OT YOTJP The St. Mary's Gasoline, Crude Oil and Producer Gas Engine ; 4 H P. to 400 H.

There was a dramatic pause. There It Is." announced Murgatroyd in tbe same busiuessiike tone and. ri?ht and I sincerelv trust that I shall never get it. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. The male mem bers and myself belonged to the same society and, as steward, it was my autr to visit the sick members once a week for sick benefit until they were declared off. That is how I became so familiar with the itch. " The doctors did their best but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remark able cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases.

Those hnxer What U tn themf stepping aside from the table, reveal ed two old. battered, dust covered, sheet iron boxes. "Those boxesr exclaimed Mrs. Chal loner. who was visibly excited. "What is in them?" she asked In bewilderment. "I don't know," returned Murgatroyd calmly. There was no question In tbe minds of the prosecutor's visitors but that these boxes were the sama that Mir iam bad brought to blra so long ago filled with negotiable securities to tbe extent, as Miriam was not likely to fbnret. of $800,000. but as to their present contents all naturally were at a loss to conjecture. Shirley broke out with: "Do you mean to say..tbat you don't know what is In them?" . "Miss Bloodgood. there's only one person in this room who knows that,' he replied quietly. Then, turning tc Mrs. Challoner. he went on In tbe same tone: "Do you see these seals?" "Yes," s be whispered. "Uubroken, are they not?" "Yes," again she asseuied faintly. "Well, theu. you know what Is In side of them. 1 do not." "I?" faltered Miriam. "Why" Then followed a moment of racking suspense for all except perhaps. Murgatroyd. "Mrs. Challoner," he resumed, "you told me once that there were $800,000 in negotiable securities in these boxes. If what you then said was true there they are, coupons and all."

Murgatroyd smiled. ... I spoke, the truth. But you" And now?5 to. Cballone.r's great surprise. Murgatroyd hied his eyes on him and said in ji,, voice that impressed them all the more, inasmuch as It was tilled with a .kindly confidence rather than with distrust: "There's $800,000 in those boxes. CballoDer. belonging to yonr wife. Can yoii stand having It back ugain?" Challouer "looked puzzled, for, as Miriam bad told Shirley, be bad had no reasou' to ' believe t but bis wife's fortuue"vbad not .-ill deeii spent by them. Slowly be beyun to understand. but he was too overcome to speak. Presently he found his voice and said: "Can I stand "Yes." interrupted Murgatroyd; "you know what money did for you before -what it led - to"- He broke off abruptly, and. turning to Shirley, he added: 'I told you once. Miss Blood good, that there was but one way to cure a Dad millionaire dui one way to reform him. aud that was to take away bis millions. . Well. 1 took away his." All eyes now rested on Challoner. who. oblivious to bis surroundings, seemed; lost in. thought, and who can tell what dreams may come to one suddenly lifted from the depths of pov erty back again to affluence? But lu any event, looking the prosecutor straight In the face, be said In au easy, determined voice: Billy, Murgatroyd. a little while ago you asked whether I could stand bav -ing all this again. The past five years of my life is ray answer to that-" This reply brought to bis wife's face a look of pride, and unconsciously she straightened up In ber cbair. while Shirley sighed perceptibly. "Laurie," went on aiurgatroyd. still probing, but not unkindly, "what are you going to do wltn all this money? 'You'll have to ask .Miriam about that." fie returned quickly, aud men. with a charming smile, be aded. "I have learned tbat a man s mission Is to wake money, and a woman's" Suddenly Challoner grew tbougbtfui again. : To think of the time." be said half aloud, "that It took Miriam, and me to save $500!" Thar five hundred that you saved," commented Murgatroyd solemnly. "1 worth more to. you than all this $860.- 000." r . "There's no mistake about that ei ther. Murgatroyd." spoke up Cbationer promptly; but. bending over his wife. be added, with a fast-mating smile: 'Miriam, you re goiug to let me ouikl tbat boBpitai. aren't you?" Simultaneously with Miriam's mono syllabic- .answer. .Murgatroyd glanced it bad been tor tbe nusr-ana to gei whatever he wanted from bis wife Ilia doubts, however, were ouly mo mentary, for presently he pusbed the boxes toward them, saying: There it Is., it all belongs to you.' But in all this Shirley mid ueeu strangely silent. "Mr. Murgatroyd." she now said icily, "do you mean to tell us that your only motive lu taking this mouey was to save Mr. Cbationer r Murgatroyd took a few steps toward her and regarded ber coolly. "No. and you alone were right. 1 was bribed. 1 was corrupt. 1 was a thief.' "N- CHAPTER XIX. nof cried Shirley, relenting. "Yes." he went on mercl lesslv. "it is true. It was mv ambition that did it. Be sides. I was tempt! bv a woman a; woman" faltered tbe girt. , -Like Adam. I'm blaming tt on Eve. This woman wanted me to be well. really great" "You"- "Yes." he persisted. "1 was bribed I took tbe money. Ob. you dou't know about roe: You don't know what was five years ago! It seemed to roe then that money was the ouly thiu that' could make me really great- knelt at the shrine of money-loved It as a- dlnsomaniac loves his bottle. He paused. Then be continued in a low voice: -Yes. I took money to acquit Chal loner, and then I convicted him. Why? Because the instinct within me to do my iluty was too strong to allow me to do otherwise. AH the evidence was against him. He had confessed. I had to convict him." "And the money" ventured Shirley. : "Like a dipsomaniac a reformed dipsomaniac I put that money as he might have his bottle, on the shelf corked. There it was. 1 could have It any time I wanted 1C" His face became more serious as he proceeded: "Then I kept on being a thief, for there was a new and overpowering motive that got the best of me. Like the reformed dipsomaniac. I was de termined to see what 1 could do with out Jt. It became a passion with me. I knew that every move I made meant the expenditure of money. A hundred times yes. a thousand times 1 have bad my fingers on those seals, about to break them, and then have crawled away once more to do without the money. Somehow I knew that my time must come. Besides, there was that overwhelming ambition prompt ed by woman." Shirley bung ber bead. - "Yea," he went on fiercely, "a wom an whofmust have her due. It a. up to- me to be something more than merely honest. Anybody could baJion est, she told me,' but not everybody i could be greatr I- Shirley ventured to look up at him; but, meeting his gaze fixed on her face, to me." But always upon jne was that all absorbins passion a ;issiuti not to use. but to do without the thing which was at my fingers' end, an in centive without which I could not suc ceed. And so." he concluiliMl. "1 went in and won without It" Probably better than any one pres ent Challoner realized to the full what Murgatroyd had suffered. Manlike, however, be was more than willing to permit the great work that Murga troyd bad done to overshadow com pletely bis questionable proceedings. Of course Challoner was quite well aware that the " prosecutor s actions viewed In the light of a successful campaign wore an eutlrely differeut asiH-ct than they would had he failed to obtaiu tbe seuatorship. in tbe lat ter case It was inevitable, no matter what moral satisfaction be could de rive from the return of the money and in fairness to Challoner be it said that be never once questioned it that in addition to tbe humiliation of a ruined career the prosecutor would have to endure the mortification of knowing that his loss of self resjiect was wholly futile. But in any event Cballouer was too generous not to ac cept without reservation Murgatroyd's contention that at least in part he was actuated by a praiseworthy de sire to save his wife and hiui from the results of his dissipations. And so. rising. Challoner grabbed impulsively Murgatroyd's band, saying: "Not another word, old man. It's all right." "Thank you." Murgatroyd said, visi bly affected, aud then added: "Ouly one thing more remains to be done. Mrs. Challouer. I must ask you to break these seals." "Oh. no. Mr. Murgatroyd!" she said. "Surely you must know that I believe your But Murgatroyd Insisted, and. oley Ing him finally. Miriam broke tbe seals, and presently she showed to them tbe securities undisturbed, just as Murgatroyd bad takeu them, dollar for dollar, bond aud bond. Suddenly Murgatroyd lelt a toucb on the arm. "And I believe you, Billy," said Shirley coutritely. An enigmatical smile passed across the prosecutor's face. "Do you. indeed V" be said dryly. A slight pucker showed on Miss Bloodgood 's beautiful brow, but she replied, quite unruffled: Why. of course I do. After all. you were honest, weren't you?" Aud. not waiting for his answer, added ingenu ously. "om were not a thief'" Murgatroyd's' face became very seri ous. Yes. 1 was." he protested. "I was a thief." And with that he turned to Challoner and said in a voice of great feehug: 'Challoner. this inonev is your Ee"g'rdaueiirv"dou't don't forget what it did to you what it made you years ago." Mrs. Challoner shivered. Challoner. hesitating, advauced and said: "We'll take It. I'm not a bit afraid now. Aiurgatroyd. for I know. And then, holding out his band, be contin ued kindly. "Billy, If yon hadn't taken it where would I bare been today?" "tYee free as you are now," said the other man in a low, strained tone Yes." assented Challouer. "out of prison, but" Mrs. Challoner quickly rose and put an end to the conversation. - "Come. Laurie." she said abruptly. and. holding out her band. VGoodby Mr. Murgatroyd. I'm afraid we have taken up altogether too much of your time." Murgatroyd shook hands with the Challoners. But ou Shirley making her adieus be said: "May I han a moment with you, xrias. Rloodaood? Won't you wait niease?" Mr rhnlloner answered for the eirl: "Shirley, don't be in any hurry. Lau rie and 1 will wait for you in the ante room." And as they passed out Chal loner called. "Wait until you see that concrete hospital. MurgatroydT For moments that seemed hours Shirley and Murgatroyd stood facing each other, neither having the courage to speak, the girl filled with shame at the creat wrong she had Joje to the man she loved, while he, feeling as if the burden that had rested upon his soul bad at last rolled away, was drawing deep breaths breathing like a man who has suddenly come out of darkness Into daylight. Shirley was the first to break the silence, and now looking up at Murgatroyd with a little shake of the head, she asked: "Billy, do you care to know what I think of you?" "Perhaps if I had cared less I" But not for a moment would Shirley listen now to his censuring himself further, and quickly she cut him off. "I think it was a far finer thing to take the money and not toucb it." she declared with true feminine logic, "than never to have taken it at all. "But what If this habit should grow upon me?" he retorted smilingly. "Ev idently Miss Bloodgood doesn't know what graft awaits me in Washington ." Shirley laughed softly. "To think that you accomplished all this without money!" she said bap piiy. "But the worst is yet to come." he observed, "it means that one has to keep up the social game, tbe club game, tbe political game, aud Lord knows what other games on $7,500 a year. An unmarried man must starve, aud heaven help the married senator! $3.$35?C0-1SII3I5 DOY5SII0ES. S2JS9 "Her soul wrruUI not let tne go wrong." "It was my love for the woman who wanted me to be great," be went on In a voice so shaken witb emotion tnat she scarcely recognized it as belonging to him. 'That was tbe motive that beat down all others." "And will you forgive the foolish Hps that told you to go wrong?" For answer he held out his arms to her. and she came to tbem. Then be stooped down and. catching ber face between bis bands, raised It slowly aod kissed tbe lips tenderly, murmur ing lovingly: Her soul would not let me go wrong. After a moment Shirley slowly drew herself out of his arms and. placing a band on each of bis shoulders, asked laughingly, looking deep Into bis eyes: "And we'll go to Washington?" "Yes. dear." be smiled back. "We're going to Washington to freeze and starve together ou that back street. Yes. my revenge is now complete." Before be could kiss ber a second time Shirley darted to tbe door, opened it and called: "Miriam. Laurie, come here come backr One look at the face of tbe girl tbat she bad left in tbe office was sufficient to tell Miriam that she had great news to communicate. Nevertheless she ask ed innocently. What for, my dear? Are yoo going to lynch him?" Blushing furiously. Shirley waved her hand at the boxes on the table and said: THE ED.
