Pinkham's Vegetable Compound A woman who is sick and suffering, and won't at least try a medicine which has the record of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, is, it would almost seem, to blame for her own wretchedness. Read what this woman says: Richmond, Mo. " When my second daughter "was eig-hteen months old I was pronounced a hopeless inralid by specialists. I had a consultation of doctors and they said I had a severe case of ulceration. I was in bed. for ten -weeks, had sinking' spells, and was pronounced to be in a dangerous condition. My father insisted that we try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and brought me six bottles. I soon began to improve, and be fore it had all been taken I was as well and strong as ever, my friends hardly recognized mo so great was the change." Mrs. Woodson I3ranstetter, Richmond, Mw. v." There are literally hundreds of thousands of women in the. United States who have been benefited by this famous old remedy, "which was produced from roots and herbs over thirty years ago by a woman to relieve woman's suffering. Read what another woman says : Jonesboro, Texas. "I have used !Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound for myself and daughter, and consider it une quailed for all female diseases. I would not be without it for anything. I wish every mother in America could be persuaded ' to use it as there would be less suffering among our sex then. I am always glad to speak a word of praise for TLydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and you are at liberty to use this testimonial." Mrs; James T. JLawrence, JTonesboro, Texas. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we pub ; lish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering from the same trouble ? v For 30 years X.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No sick woman does justice to herself who will not try this famous medicine. Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and has thousands of cures to its credit, p?-" If the slightest trouble appears which Li you do not understand, write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for her advice iti3 free and always helpful.

She followed me In silence across the road to the epot designated, but as I turned to leave her seated upon the grass, and well protected from prying eyes, she hurried quickly after me, and in her agitation sofar forgot her- SICKLY CHILD I Made Well By Vinol Letters from aGrateful Mother New Haven, Conn, "My little girl. ever since her birth, was frail and sickly and nothing seemed to do her any good until we tried your cod liv er and Iron tonic, VmoL As soon as she commenced to take it, I noticed an Improvement in her health and ap pearance. She has now taken three bottles of VinoL and from the good It has done her I can say it 'will do all you claim for it In building up and strengthening frail and delicate chil dren." (Name furnished on request) Another mother of Chicago, HI., writes: "I can not say too much In praise of Vinol for delicate, ailing children." "We ask every mother of a frail, sickly or ailing ehild in this vicinity to try Vinol on our agreement to re turn their money if it does not do all self as to touch my sleeve with her hand. "Oh, please do not leave me here alone. I am not naturally timid, yet everything, is so gloomy I cannot stand it. Let me go with you, if you must go!" "Most assuredly you shall if you de sire," I returned heartily. There appeared before us a dim, little-used path leading in among the trees, and following its erratic curves we were soon before the cabin, which grew even more uninviting as we drew near. As I paused a moment be fore the closed door, in order that I might listen for any possible sound rlthin, I could hear her quick breath ing, as though the terror of the mo ment had driven all else from her mind. The wooden latch yielded readily enough to my pressure, and pushing wide open th3 door, which creaked slightly upon Its rusty hinges, I stepped across the puncheon thres hold onto the hard earthen floor. There .faa bo -window visible, and the slight reflection of moonlight which t crept in through the doorway scarcely re vealed the nature of that dark inter ior. I could dimly perceive what I be loved to be a table directly in front cf ma, while certain other indistinct end ill deilned shadows might be chairs iiushed back against the wall. At kast this room vas vrkhout occupants; yet was wfih every ?ese alert that I nUTcd, pressing slowly paat tf- j -table o-.Yari viit-re 1 feit ths fjeplace would tati:.-aiiy fca, knowing '.hat my companion va3 yet with me, her hand. clutching my arm. "Oh!" sho cried shsrjly in terror, "what was thct?" It was something certainly a dead enod, rautSed, ehuCing sound directly in cur front, followed by a strange nolfio of scraping, as if with a dull knife on wood. "Wait here," I said sternly. "Prob ably it la nothing more dangerous than a rat" ; I felt my way carefully around the table, a revolver ready in my hand. There was nothing to be found thw-e nothing, indeed, in the room; for from my new position 1 could look backward and distinguish in the moon light the details of that simple, squalid interior. I ran my hands along the rough logs of the further wall. Ay! here was a break, doubt less a door; and groping along the crack 1 found the latch. There was no longer any noise audible, and. I drew the door inward, never dreaming of danger. Suddenly, with a fierce, wild spring out of ths dark, a huge body hurled itself di rectly at my throat striking with such headlong Impetus that 1 went back ward as If shot crashing against the table, then to the floor, dropping my weapon as I felL There was no noise, no sound, while for an Instant, with strength of sheer desperation, I held back the snapping jaws that breathed hot fire into my very face. With a bound backward of Its great body th4 beast jerked free from my grip, and the next instant had sunk its dripping fangs, deep and hard, into the flesh of my shoulder. As the intense pain shot through me. my right hand, driven with all the foroe 1 could mus ter, caught the monster once, twice, full in the throat but tighter and tighter those clinched jaws locked, until it Seemed as ff every bone be tween them must be ground to pow der. Even as I grasped the lowet Jaw, seeking . vainly to . wrench It loose, I heard the girl scream in sud den afrlght - Quick! I gasped desperately. "Get my revolver there on the floor, and use it but for God's sake keep down; don't let the brute see you. She must have heard, but there was no response, although her crying ceased. Yet my own struggle to rid myself of that crushing weight and those iron Jaws drowned all other sound3, drove all other thoughts from me. Every muscle of my body began to weaken from the strain, my eyes blurred, faintness swept over me, felt my brain reeling, when there burst a vivid flash of flame within a foot of my face, singeing my fore head; then folfowed a deafening re port, and the huge brute sprang back ward with a snarl of pain, his teeth clicking together like cogs of steel Then he stiffened and fell prone across me, a dead, inert weight, pin ning me breathless to the floor. For the moment I could do no more than lie there helpless, gasping for breath, scarce conscious even of my deliverance. Then, as sufficient strength returned for action, I rolled the body of the dead brute off me, and lifting myself by aid of the wall against which my head rested, looked about Two broken chairs overturned upon the floor, and the shapeless, huddled body of my late assailant alone spoke of the violence of that deadly struggle; but the cabin was yet full of smoke, and 1 could per ceive the figure of the girl leaning against the frame of the open door, the revolver still grasped In her hand. Her posture was that of a frightened deer, as her terror-filled eyes sought the dark interior. "It is safely over," I said weakly, for my breath yet came to me "in gusps. "The brute Is dead." I could scarcely mark her coming across the narrow streak of mooc light, moving toward me as a fright ened bird might, ttr.rtltd at every thing, and pass! far from th. lifeless xass on the . t or as tho ss shadow that -I could distinguish noth ing of its features. ' "What Is it? Are you Indeed severe ly hurt?" Not seriously, I think, yet I have lost some blood, and am in great pain. There Is brandy in the inner pocket of my Jacket but I am unable to move my arm in order to reach it Would you endeavor to draw the flaak out?" I felt her bend over me, her soft breath coming almost in sobs upon my face, as with trembling fingers she undid the buttons of my trooper's jacket and extracted the small fVJ? flask I had been thoughtful -enough to store away there. The fiery liquid seemed to put new blood into my veins, and with it there returned all my old-time audacity, with that intense hopefulness in which had been trained by years of war and self-reliance. "I trust you realize," I said, "that am neither thoughtless nor ungrate ful. Years of war service racke cne careless of life, but I know it was your shot that saved me. You are a brava girl." Her overtaxed nerves gave way at my words, and I knew she was crying softly. The sobbing was In her voice as she strove to speak. 'Oh, no, I am not; you do not guess how great a coward I am. I scarcely knew what I was doing when fired. That horrid thing what was it?" "A huge mastiff, I imagine; one of the largest of his breed. But what ever It may have been, the beast is dead, and we have nothing more to fear from him." 'Yet I tremble so," she confessed, a":aost hysterically. "Every shadow frightens me." I realized that no amount of con versation would quiet her nerves so effectively as some positive action; be sides, I felt the hot blood constantly trickling down my arm, and realized that something needed to be done at onco,to stanch its flow, before weak ness should render me equally useless. 'Do you think you could build a fire on the hearth yonder?" I asked. I am afraid I am hardly capable of helping you as yet; but we must have light in thi8 gloomy old hole, or it is bound to craze us both. Take those broken chairs if you find noth ing better." She Instantly did as I bade her. moving here and there about the room until she gathered together the ma terials necessary, but keeping care fully away from where the dead dog lay, until In a brief space of time the welcome flame leaped up In the wide black chimney, and cast Its red glare all over the little room The activity did . her good, the light flooding the gloomy apartment yielded renewed courage, and there -was a cheerier sound in her voice as she came back to me. 'The great ugly brute!" she ex claimed, looking at the form in the centre of the floor. "He was certainly heavy enough to have been a bear,' I replied. clinching my teeth In pain, "and suf ficiently savage." 1 viewed her now for the first time clearly, and the memory will re main with me till I die. How dls tinctly that entire picture stands forth with the mist of all these years be tween! The low-ceiled room, devoid of all furniture save of the rudest and There Burst a Vivid Flash of Flame Within a Foot of My Face. most primitive kind; the bare logs forming the walls, unrelieved in their rough ugliness, except as here . and there sundry unshapely garments dangled from wooden pegs; the rough deal table, with a few cheap dishes piled upon one end of it; the dead dog lying across the earthen floor: and over all the leap of ruddy flame as the newly kindled fire gathered way, leaving weird shadows here and there, yet steadily forcing them back, and flooding the whole Interior with a cheerly glow. She had flung aside the blue and yellow cloak which, during the long nours or cur night ride had so com. pletely shrouded her, and stood be fore me dressed in some soft clinging stuff of a delicate brown color, so cut and fashioned as to most become her rounded, graceful form. About her neck a narrow strip of creamy lace was fitted, the full throat rendered whiter by the contrast, while at her wrists a similar ornament alone served to relieve the simple plainness of her attire. The flaming fire lighted up her face, making it seem to flush with the dancing glow, which sparkled like diamonds In her eyes. Hert was a young, fair face, a face to love and trust forever, yet. with a pride In It, and a certain firmness also that somehow was good to es. All this I noted with one quick upward glance, and with a sudden thrill cf the heart such as I had never known before. (To Be Continued.)

For years he struggled agalMt but fcy Qf pluck and perseverance he finally estab lished himself in the business world and became the owner of the Chica go Chronicle, one ofthe great dai lies of the West. He was also in terested in mining and railroads. Four years ago, his other proper ties demanding more cash than he had, he was charged with drawing money from his banks which forced them to close their doors. He was indicted, convicted and sentenced, and two years ago entered the pen itentiary. Recently he was released on parole, and nine days after his freedom he died. The story of the life of John R. Walsh is most piti- ful,and It ia all the sadder because of what it might have been. If the man had only been content with the fortunes he had made and re sisted the temptation to take short cuts In business in order to ac quire more, he might today be liv ing a happy and useful life Instead of lying In a dishonored grave. The contrast of his life with that of in justice Harlan, who died almost penniless, is painful. Each Is now where earthly treasure cuts no fig ure but where the real dividends of a life are properly appraised. There are many other tricksters in trade who are more fortunate so far than Walsh, for they have escaped their Just deserts, but they are going in to the presence of a Judge some day who cannot be deceived or bribed or blinded, and who will reward every one according as his works Bhall be.
