u BY IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD
Whenever a sore refuses to heal it is because the blood is not pure and
Jiealthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old
'blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
f a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until
uleer, fed' and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
"Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ -producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one.
Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can
do any permanent good ; neither will remov

"And you got away," questioned Sir
Henry, still angry, but not knowing
what to do.
She went on with the utmost meek
ness: "I had your pet hunter at the
lodge gate, sir; a long cloak on the sad-,
die. pistols and a dagger in the hol
sters" archly "I believe you prom
ised 'French Percy' those? Cousin
Jack Tercy's grandson was waiting in
our hut for me. And, dad, dad!" she
ended it with a tender rush "we were
so afraid we'd miss you and the bishop
and after so much trouble I'd had spoil
ing your pistols too."
For the first time since the wedding
St. Croix spoke.
"And had we missed you. Sir Henry.
I should have been forced to go back
of mine own accord to your gallows,
for I would not leave her in England
except as my wife, and Mistress May
would not come unless I promised you
should see us married and give con
sent." . Sir Henry whirled on him.
"And you callvhat I gave 'consent
you impudent .scoundrel"
'The bishop heard you say, 'I do,
with all my heart,' " broke in St. Croix
aceusmglv.
'A trick!" roared Sir Henry "a trick
that no one but"
Jack Percy's grandson could have
executed." finished. May Percy for him.
'Jack Percy's grandson Jack Per
cys fraud son, he repeated musingly.
For the first time the phrase seemed to
take hold of him.
'And your son now, dad." whisnered
May Percy softly.
Iler father glanced
inquiringly to-
ward the bishop.
"By the law of God and the church
they are man and wife, Sir Henry."
f With sudden impulsiveness May Lat-
apie, countess St. Croix, threw herself
into her father's arms.
'"And. dad, you can't hang your own
son, she cried. "And he is going to
leave me with vdu until the Avar is over
and he can come for me again with
honor."
In the clear, revealing moonlight,
over the bowed head of the girl in his
arms, the chief of the Percys studied
the new heir to the line.
"Jack Percy's grandson," he muttered
at last in unwilling admiration. Then
the two involuntarily looked at the one
both loved. The struggling Percy pride
died hard. At last Sir Henry opened
his arms. "Take her, boy," he said
briefly.

Abolished State Dispensary.
The South Carolina Legislature has
abolished the State dispensary system
of handling liquor, the creature and
pet of Senator Tillman, which has
been in existence 14 years. The peo
ple of the various counties will decide
the matter of dispensary or local op
tion by vote. The Governor has also
removed from office J. M. Rawlins,
John Black and Joseph B. Wiley, di
rectors of the State dispensary, who are
charged with misconduct, neglect of
duty and incompetency, the specific
charges being that these officials disre
garded the law, did not buy on sealed
bids and approved large purchases in
Cincinnati and Peoria at prices in ex
Cess of the regular bids.

most sweeping insurance bills of all
