FOR DYSPEPSIA,
Aycr's Sarsaparilla
Is an effoctlvo remedy, as numerous testimo
nials conclusively prove, "tor two years
I was a constant sufferer from dysiM.-p.sia
ana liver complaint. 1 doctored a long
time aitd the medicines prescribed, in nearly
every ca.se, oidy aggravated the disease.
An apothecary advised mo to use Ayer's
Sarsajiarilla. I did so, and was cured
at a cost of 5. Since that time it lias
been my family medicine, and sickness has
become a stranger to our household. 1
believe It to be the best medicine on earth."
1'. V. McXulty, Hack man, 1i Summer at,
Lowell, Mass.
FOR DEBILITY,
Aycr's Sarsaparilla
Is a certain cure, when the complaint origi
nates in Impoverished blood. "I was a
great sufferer from a low condition of the
blood and general debility, becoming finally,
so reduced that I was unfit for work. Noth
ing that I did for the complaint helped me
so much as Aycr's Sarsaparilla, a few bottles
of which restored me to health and strength.
I take every opportunity to recommend this
medicine in similar cases." C. Evick, 11 li.
Maiu St., Chiliicolhc, Ohio.
FOR ERUPTIONS
And all disorders originating In impurity of
the blood, such as boils, carbuncles, pimples,
blotches, salt-rheum, scald-head, scrofulous
sores, and the like, take only

HER SECRET.
When that particularly shrewd and
businesslike young man, Mr. Thouiaa
Partington, joined himself in marriage
to Ada, relict of the late Isaac Abrahams,
hi3 friends evinced considerable surprise
at the step. The widow was. indeed, aa
they admitted, young and fascinating
and had, moreover, inherited a very sub
stantial fortune from her previous hus
band. But then she was dreadfully ex
travagant in her habits, and nad lately
developed a perfect mania for gambling.
In fact, her losses on the turf and at
the card tables were becoming quite the
talk of society, and it is certain that
even during the bhort period which
elapsed between her first husband's death
and the date of her second marriage ber
fortune must have been materially di
minished by the drains 6he made upon
iL In another 3ear or two at her pres
ent rate she would, so Tom's friends
said, run through it altogether, and then
he would find himself in the unenviable
position of having to support a recklessly
spendthrift wife entirely out of bis own
pocket.
a tew or nis greatest intimates im
pressed this upon him before he took the
final plunge, and urged him to back out
of his engagement ere it was yet too late.
But Tom turned a deaf ear to their ad
vice. He was very much in love with
the charming widow And, besides, lie
entertained a strong hope that after their
union he should be able to reform, or at
least control, his wife's extravagance.
Instead, therefore, of tnng to cry off
the match, he hurried it forward to the
best of his ability, in order that she
might have as short an interval as pos
sible in which to enjoy the unchecked
expenditure of her money.
But when he was married to the lady
he found that his hope of being able to
reform her had. been decidedly chimer
icaL Self willed and headstrong, she
would scarcely endure advice, much less
any semblance of restraint. So, after a
few months of useless remonstrance, he
gave up all attempt at genuine reforma
tion as a bad job, and had to content
himself with showing silent disapproval
of her extravagances, or with throwing
in their way such feeble obstacles as he
could. These were slight enough, for
her fortune was entirely at her OAvn con
troL Still they were not quite fruitless.
And as time went on, people noticed
that Mrs. Partington's gambling transac
tions were on a much smaller scale.
Her best friends began to hope that the
instincts of the mother were beginning
to assert themselves over the cravings of
the gambler, and that it was thought for
the little one whom she was soon expect
ing that thus checked her, in her career
of mad extravagance. It is certain at
any rate, that, as time went forward,
she grew every day more out of spirits,
and nothing was more likely for, with
all her faults, she was a 6of t hearted wom
anthan that she should be fretting over
her past selfish extravagance, as a 6ort of
robbery perpetrated on her unborn off
spring. Perhaps, also, her weakened
physical condition contributed its quota
to this altered frame of mind. But
whatever the reasons may have been,
the fact was undoubtedly there. And
each day the once lighthearted and reck
less woman grew more moody and de
pressed. Tom appeared to notice this change in
his wife. His manner toward her, al
ways kind and attentive, became actual
ly tender in its consideration, and he
tried his hardest to soothe away her
feathering depression of spirits. He wa3
not able to be with her much in the day
time, for, shortly after his marriage, be
ing tired of having nothing to do, he had
put some of his money into "business"
in the city, where his constant presence
was now required; but he regularly spent
his evenings at home, hardly ever going
to the theater or to his club.
His wife seemed to feel his considerate
tenderness very deeply, for several times,
as he sat beside her of an evening, with
his arms thrown caressingly around her,
she suddenly buried her face on his
shoulder and burst into tears like one
whose remorse is awakened by unmerited
and unlooked for kindness. On each of
these occasions Tom felt by a certain
subtle and inpalpable instinct that his
wife was on the very verge of making
some confession perhaps of sorrow and
regret for her defiant attitude toward
him in the past. But although by his
comforting words and soothing caresses
he did his best to invite her confidence,
the confession which he felt to be hang
ing on her lips never issued from them.
Meanwhile, what was so clear to her
husband did not escape the notice of Mrs.
Partington's female friends. Of these
she had many, but by far the most
favored and confidential of them was
Mrs. Brandon, an old .-hoolfellpw with
whom she had bpt up aMifelong inti
macy. Mrs. Brandon, who was at once
& VOW tl'll7 r iiicMr cinail.la loltf
! had. at an early period, dotoctod the un
usual gloom which had come over her
friend's manner, and rallied her upon
taking her new position so seriously.
"My dear Ada," she tsaid at laat, in the
course of an afternoon call, during which
Mrs. Partington had been more dull than
ever, "I should never have encouraged
you to accept Torn if I had foreseen what
a deplorable effect your second dose of
matrimony would have upon you. Do
you know that iu the twenty minutes I
have been here, the only original obser
vation you have made was to ask me
whether 1 had enough sugar? What is
the matter with you today'"
Mrs. Partington muttered something
bout a "bad headache.'
"But have you always a bad headache
nowadays?" continued Mrs. Brandon,
more seriously. "1 should not have al
luded to the subject if this were the first
time that I have seen you thus. But for
weeks 1 have observed you growing
more aud more gloomy and depressed.
You are getting quite unlike your old
eelf, and 1 cannot help feeling seriously
uneasy about j-ou. What does it mean?"
To Mrs. Brandon's surprise her friend,
instead of answering, only burst into
tear3 and buried her face in her hand
kerchief. Evidently, thought Mrs.
Brandon, the once gay and sprightly
Ada Isaacs was very changed indeed.
"Come, Ada," she said, drawing her
chair closer, and taking one of her
j friend's haii'ls, f:you have something on
, your mind. 1 thought 60 before; now 1
am sure of it. Tell me all about it. It
will do you good to confide in some one,
and you and 1 have never had a secret
from one another during the last twenty
years. Is it anything to do with Tom?'
"No, no indeed it isn't! Pray don't
think that!" sobbed Mrs. Partington.
"Well, that's a mercy 1" observed Mrs
1 RrMTnlfm Thr'n it rnner la cmim 1. 1"
to do with yonroelf. What is it?"
There -was ;i short pause, during which
Mrs. Partington's sobs slightly sub
sided.
i "Xell,"' she said presently, "it is all
, your fault.'
; "My fault, dcarl" exclaimed Mrs.
Crandou
"Your Liult," repeated Mrs. Parting-
i ton. "It has uA come of your introduc
ing me to that hateful Pompadour club.
Oh, how 1 wish I had never entered the
place!"
"You don't mean to say" Mrs.
Brandon paused and looked at her
friend
"'1 mean to say that, unknown to Tom,
1 have been playing there every after
noon, and losing constantly, until oh,
Nell, promise swear that you will not
tell Tom this!"
"Of course not. Have we ever be
trayed one another's confidence, dear?
But you must promise mo something
too Promise that you will tell Tom."
"I? Oh, Nell, yon don't know what
you are asking You have not heard all
yet. 1 would not have Tom know it
for the world. llather than that 1
would"
Mrs. Partington's sobs had burst forth
again with renewed force. Suddenly
she 6ank back on the sofa with a cry of
pain which alarmed her friend. Per
ceiving that she was really ill Mrs.
Brandon summoned assistance. Many
minutes did not elapse before one of the
servants was hurrying off for a doctor.
Very shortly after the arrival of that
functionary, Mrs. Brandon herself left.
She drove direct to the club where Tom
Partington occasionally called of an af
ternoon on his way home from the city.
By good luck he was there now, and the
message which Mrs. Brandon sent in
quickly brought him to her carriage
door. A very few words passed between
them, but enough to make Tom's face
grow to twice its normal length.
"I will be off at once," ho said.
"Do," replied Mrs. ' Brandon. "But
mind, not a word yetl Not until she is
quite well again."
"Trust me!" cried Tom. He was al
ready hailing a passing hansom, "and
with a hurried bow to Mrs. Brandon he
jumped into iL
When he reached home he sprang up
the steps and rang the door bell sharply.
It was opened in about half a second by
the cook, who, with a look of deep im
portance on her face, gasped out: "Please,
sir, will you be as quiet as possible. And
and it's a boy I"
Before her bewildered master had
time to make any inquiries relative to
this information the doctor, who had
been descending the stairs when he en
tered, came up to him and shook him by
the hand.
"1 must congratulate you, my dear
sir," he said, "on the birth of a remark
ably fine son. I am glad to tell yoa, too,
that Mrs. Partington is going on as well
as can be expected. But she is naturally
very weak. So if you go in to see her
do not stop more than a minute or allow
her to talk. Anything calculated to ex
cite her must be most carefully avoided.
I will call in again later and see how she
is progressing."
Under these circumstances Mr. Part
ington was compelled to abandon for the
present the hope which he had enter
tained of inducing bis wife to confide to
him the trouble which seemed to have
recently oppressed her. He accordingly
restrained his patience as best he could,
and waited until her strength should re
turn. At the end of the week, however,
it was evident that Mrs. Partington was
only mending very slowly, and the doc
tor was by no means satisfied 7ith her
progress. Indeed, he expressed his con
viction to the husband that something
was weighing on his patient's mind, the
removal of which was essential to her
complete recovery. After this Tom re
solved to endeavor at the earliest oppor
tunity to come to an understanding with
his wife.
So. on the same afternoon, as he sat by
his wife's bedside, with one of her hands
in his, he said kindly, "Ada, my dear,
you have something on your mind."
A quick flush overspread her pale face,
and she averted her gaze, murmuring in
a confused tone, "What makes you fancy
that, Tom?"
"The eyes of love are quick to see such
things," replied her husband tenderly, as
he stroked her head with bis disengaged
