THEY CURE RHEUMATISM
A Particularly Painful Form of This
Disease Yield to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pllla.
Of the many forms which rheumatism
takes, thnt which is popularly kuowu as
' aciatio rheumatism probably tortures its
'victim more than any other. That Dr.
Williams' Piuk Pills have cured this
stubborn as well as painful trouble is a
fact proven by the following statement,
' and no sufferer who reads this can af
ford tii let prejudice stand iu the way of
trying these blood-making pills.
Kheumntism is now generally re
cognized as a disease of the blood. Dr.
Williams Piuk Pills make actually
make pure blood. When the blood is
pure there cau be no rheumatism. Mrs.
Thomas Brexuehan, of 64 Mill street,
Watertowu, N. Y., says : j
" My trouble began with ft severe cold
which ;I took about a wouk before
Christ mus in 1904. I began to have
rheumatio puius in my back aud limbs
aud after a time I couldn't straighten
op. I suffered the most awful puiu tit
mouths aud much of the time was un
able to .leave the house and I had to take
bold of a chair iu order to walk and
sometimes I could uot stand up at all.
" The disease was prouounced sciatio
rheumatism aud, although I had a good
physician and took his medicine faith
fully, I did uot get any better. After
aonte sjx weeks of this tern hie pain and
snfTriug I tried Dr. Williams Fink
Pills and that is the medicine that cured
roe. After a few boxes the paiu was
less totalise aud I conld see decided im
provement. I continued to take the pilla
entil I was entirely cured aud I have
never bad any return of the trouble."

Is les porceptdile. Tiiey seemed to navp
passed very lichtlr orr the sinill p'.i.n
of existence working Itself out unheeded
hy the world In the drawing room where
wo last saw Apnea Winter, and where
we now find her again.
The room as unchanged, and the Asnes
Winter dwelling therein was the same
womnn. The snrne strong, finished grace
attended her movements, hut her eyes
Incited repose. They werp the eyes of
one who hns wailed and waited In vnin.
None need search very far afield to find
such eves as now looked up nervously to
ward the door at the sound of the lurg'
old fashioned hell pealing in the basement.
"Who is that?" said Agnes Winter to
herself. "Who can that be?" .
She rose and set one or two thins In
order about the room, and after glancing
at the clock, stood motionless with her
tired eyes fixed on the door, listening in
tently. While she stood there the door
was opened, and the maid uiinounced :
"Mr. Kaston."
Matthew Mark Hnston came Into the
room Immediately afterward, lie shook
hands rather awkwardly, as one sees a
man go through the ceremony whose fin
ters are In hired.
"TInw An win do. Miss Winter?" he
ko id. gravely.
"Well," she said In a sharp, unsteady
voice, ignoring his question, "what news
have you?"
"I have no news if the ship, Miss Win
ter." he replied.
"Tell me," she said, "what you have
done."
"I have," he aid. "explored every yard
of the coast from the North Cape to the
Yana river."
"And why did you atop at the Tana
river?" asked tho lady, with an air of
knowing her ground.
"I will tell yon afterward," he said;
"when Miss (Irace Is with you- if If
she does not object to my presence."
8he drew writing materials toward her
and wrote: "Mr. Easton Is here; come at
once." She read It aloud, and, ringing
the bell, dispatched the note.
"I presume," said Kaston, slowly, "that
the admiral Is still with ns?"
"Yes : he la alive and well. Helen Is
you will find her a little changed."
He raised Ma eyes to her face. Ills
glance waa as quick as ever, but his eyes
did not twinkle now: they were grave,
and the rapidity of their movement, be
ing deprived of brlfhtness, was almost
furtive. Then they sat waiting, until
the silence became oppressive. Suddenly
Easton spoke with a return of the quaint,
narrative manner which aha remember
rd as characteristic.
"Ono evening," he said, "as we were
teaming down the Raltlc last week a
dull warm evening, Tuesday, I guess I
was standing at the stern rail with my
arms beneath my chin, when aomethlng
fell upon my sleeve. I looked at It curl-
oasly, for I had not seen such a thing for
years. It was a tear most singular I I
feel like crying now, Misa Winter; I
should like to sit down on that low chair
In the corner there and cry. There are
some disappointments that come like tho
disappointments of childhood when it
rained on one's birthday and put a stop
to the picnic."
Miss Winter said nothing. She merely
sat in her gracious, attentive attitude and
looked at him with sympathetic eye,
"It shows," be continued, presently,
"how entirely ona may. be mistaken In
one's own destiny. I never should have
considered myself to b the sort of per
son Into whose life a catastrophe was lu
tended to break."
She still allowed him to continue, and
after a pause he took advantage of ber
.Hence,
"Some men," he went on, "expect to
have other lives upon their consciences
but their own lives are more, or less at
equal stake, and the risk is allowed for
In their salary, or is supposed to be. I
have thirty lives set down on the debt
Ids of my account, and some of those
lives are chips off my own
"Thirty?" questioned Miss Winter,
"There were only eighteen men on board
all told."
"Yes; but there were others. I shall
tell you when Miss Grace coriies. It Is
not a story that one cares to relate more
ofton than necessary.
In a few moments they heard the sound
et the front door bell. Eiaston rose from
his seat. He did not go toward the door,
but stood in the middle of the room, look
lng rather breathlessly toward Miss Win
ter. She It was who moved to the door,
going out to the head of the stairs to
meet Helen
"Dear," he heard her say, and her voice
was smooth and sweet, "Mr. Easton is
here; he haa come back."
There was no answer, and a moment
later nelcn Grace stood before him. As
he took tho hand she stretched out to
him with 'an air almost of bravado, be
saw at ones the difference hinted at by
Miss Winter. It lay in the expression
of her face, It hoversd in her eyea. It is
to be seen in most ball rooms, and the
faces carrying It are usually beautiful
The striking characteristic of such worn
en Is their impregnability
"I am glad, Mia Grace," Easton said,
"that you have done me the honor of coin
ni."
And she smiled exactly as he expected
the hard, inscrutable "society" smile,
which never betrsys and Is never Infee
tious. She did not, however, trust ber
.self so far as to speak. There was si
lence for a motneat such a silence and
such a moment as leave their mark upon
the entire life. Easton breathed hard.
He had no doubt at that time .that he
was bringlpg to each of these women
news of the mau she loved.

Itoth obeyed him so mechanically and
so rapidly that he had no time lo prepare

"I have to tell you," he said, "that
there Is no news of the ship. She sailed
from London three yeara and seven
months ago. She was sighted by the
whaler Martin on the third of May, three
years ago, in tho Greenland Sea, sin
when there Is no word of her. It Is the

about It. Toeether we worked out a

women who hnd been exiled to Siberia,
who were dragging out a miserable felon's
existence nt the mines for no other crime
than the love of their own country. Our
intention was not political; it was hu
mane. Tyars and I clubbed together and
supplied the funds. I was debarred from

never forget thnt. Rut Tyars was the
best man for the purpose to be found
anywhere, and his subordinate officer, Os-
win Grace, was oven better than Tyars 'n
his position. A rendezvous was fixed at
tho mouth of the Yana river, and a date
was nnm.'d. Three Russians were dis
patched from London to aid in the es

a Jerk, as a man stops in tho narration
of something which has left an inefface

he returned to the table and slowly folded
the rugged maps. The manner in which

of each frayed corner; but the movements
of his fingers were stiff and awkward.

Aud you," she Inquired gently; "you
have endured great hardships?"
lie folded the maps and placed them
in tho breast pocket of his eont. .
"es," he answered, without meeting
her eyes, "I have had a bad time of it."
They waited, but he said nothing more.
That was the history of the last two
yoars. Presently Helen Grace rose to go.
She appeared singularly careless of de
tails. Part of the news she had learned
was old, the remainder was too fresh to
comment upon. She kissed Miss Winter,
shook hands with Matthew Mark Easton,
and quickly left the room.
I always felt," said Miss Winter mus
ingly, "that something was being conceal
ed from us."
"At one time I thought you knew all
about it. You once warned us against
the Itussian minister."
She thought for some moments, recall
ing the Incident.
"Yes," she said at length, "I remember.
It was the merest accident. I suspected
nothing." ,, ,
"Concealment, pleaded tho American,
waa absolutely necessary. It made no
difference to the expedition, neither add
ed to the danger nor detracted from it.
But I did not want Miss Grace and your
self to think that these two men had
thrown away their lives in attempting
such a futile achievement as the northeast
passage. They were better men than
that."
She smiled a little wearily.
"No one will ever suspect," she said ;
"for even now that you have told me the
story I Can scarcely realise that it Is
true. It sounds like some tale Of by-gone
days; and yet 'we have a living proof that
It Is all true that It has all happened."
Helen Grace he suggested.
Of course you knew. And did you

He did not reply at once,, but glanced
at her keenly.
"I knew that he loved her, wss the

FROM GIRLHOOD TO WOMANHOOD
Mothers Should Watch the Development of Their Daughters
Interesting Experiences of Misses Borman and Mills.
Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never imparted or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of nature's mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and baffle
physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girl's thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to ber
aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound will at
tliia time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girl's life without
