We know of no other medicine which has been so suc
cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials, as lias Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound.

have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Finkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Compound is made ex
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.

That cvcnitii?, as Hope was playing
some Scotch airs, with great taste and
a delicate touch, while Mrs. Saville sat
thinking In her chair and stroking
Prince, a note was brought for Miss
Desmond. Hope finished what sho
was playing, then, asking, "Will you
allow me?" opened the missive.
"It la from Miss Dacre,' she added,
In a minute or two "a most extraor
dinary epistle. She says she writes
with your knowledge and approval.
She asks me to leave you and live with
her, and offers me one hundred pounds
a year. Will you look at It?"
Mrs. Saville stretched out her hand.
and, after reading; the letter, deliber
ately returned it
"How do you mean to reply?"
"Can you ask?" cried Hope "unless,
Indeed, your knowledge of Mi Da-
cro's intention indicates a wish that I
should leave you."
"No, it does not. I thought it right
that you should have the option of re
fusing an advantageous offer. You
would have more gayety, a larger sal
ary, an easier life, with Mary Dacre,
than with a cantankerous old woman
like myself."
"If I had the money I should be
willing to pay a hundred a year to
stay away from Miss Dacre," said
Hope. "You are severe, and rather
formidable, but I feel sure of your
Justice and loyalty, and the restfulness
of life with you is infinitely preferable
to the fevered gayety of Miss Dacre 8
existence."
"I am glad you think so. Write to
her at once."
Hope obeyed, and, after writing with
deliberation for some minutes, gave
the result to Mrs. Saville for perusal.
"Good,'-' said that lady. "It Is Arm
and courteous. Let it be posted at
once. Now play mo the march from
'Tannhau-ier,'"
When that was finished, Mrs. Sa
ville said, "Come and sit down."
Hope obeyed. There was a short
pause, and she went on: "As you have
chosen to stay with me, my dear Miss
Desmond, I shall Increase your salary
to what Miss Dacre offered. "
"You are very good, Mrs. Saville,
but I would rather you did not. I
have quite enough for all I want. A
year hence, wl you have proved
me, it we are sun together ana you
like to offer It But, oh, It is unwise
to look ahead so far."
"I am not a very imaginative ier-
eon,' said Mrs. saviuc, siowiy, "dui it
strikes me you have a history. Miss
Desmond."
"I suppose every one has," said
Hope, smiling. "I too, havo my little
story, and some day, if you ever care
to hear It, I will tell you but not Just
yet."
I suppose it centers round some
love-affair, which you silly young peo
ple always think of the last Import
ance."
"It does. Bald Hope, with grave
feeling; "and I am sure the import
ance cannot be exaggerated. It men
and women only allowed themselves to
tblnk what a sacred and solemn thing
love and its usual ending marriage is,
fewer unhappy ones would take place,
"Ah, with the vast majority love Is

raised his hat, bowed, and departed.

Miss Dacre was reproachful, and
even tearful, when Hope next saw her
but the "much desired one" was im

disappointed heiress, "that Ceorge

Mrs. Saville seemed more cheerful
and in a better temper after Lord

She endured an occasional visit from

CIIAPl'KR XVIII.
The little fishing village of Salnte
Crolx, lying at the mouth of a valley
or gorge which opens from the sea
between high cliffs on the coast of Nor
mandy, has of late been revealed to
Parisians, especially artistic and liter
ally Parisians. One giant of the latter
order has even built himself a villa
well up on the steep side of the val
ley. Artists encamp In the fisher cot
tages turning the kitchens, with their
carved oak dressers and settles, into
living-rooms, and cooking in outhous
es, or getting their food from a ram
bling hotel and restaurant lately insti
tuted by Joining several cottages to
gether, with additions and improve
ments, where a few yards of level
ground intervene between the Bands
and the cliff.
A straggling growth of fine beech
trees stretches down from a large
wood which crowns the gradual ascent
of the valley where it merges Into ih
fiat table-land above, well cultivated.
and rich with fields of corn and colza.
At the date of this story it was known
to few, but, obscure though it was,
Mrs. Saville chose It for a resting-
place before she returned to London.
It was a fine glowing August evening
when, with Miss Desmond, her Ger
man courier, and her English maid,
Mrs. Saville arrived and startled the
sleepy little village into lively curi
osity, as she drove through it in an
old-fashioned traveling-carriage drawn
by four scraggy post-horses, the whole
equipage secured with some difficulty
by the careful courier at the nearest
railway-station. The dogs barked, the
hens cackled, the ducks and geese flew
out of the roadside pond with prodig
ious noise and flutterlngs, as the scare
crow team rattled down the hill to the
shore of the rock-encircled bay along
the edge of which the "Hotel da l'Eu-
rope" stretched its low, irregular front.
The landlord and one male and two
female waiters were drawn up to re
ceive the distinguished guest3 and
usher them to their apartments.
'Madame has a fine view of the bay
and cliffs. The sunsets ire superb, nay,
exquisite, In good weather; and it Is
generally good at Sainte-Croix. I do
rot remember having had the honor of
receiving Madame before.''
I dare say not. You were not old
enough to be the head of such an es
tablishment when I was here last,"
returned Mrs. Saville, more graciously
than she would have spoken to an Englishman.
"Impossible, madame!" cried the
host, with polite incredulity. "Wuen
'11 madame dine?"
At 6. Meantime, we want tea; but
my courier will see to the preparation.
He understands it. Pray, is Madame
d'AIhevllle at the chateau?"
"No, madame. Unfortunately, the
second son of Madame la Marquise was
wounded a week ago In a duel, and
she has gone to nurse him at Greno
ble, I think. Her arrival ia quite uncertain."
"Indeed! I am sorry to hear it."
And she bowed dismissal to her pollta
host
"This is a disappointment," said
Mrs. Saville to Hope. "I quite count
ed on Madame d'Albeville's society.
She is an agreeable, sensible woman,
and rather pleasantly associated with
my former visit to this little hamlet
Come, let us look at our rooni3."
They were small, but more comfort
able than the guests had anticipated.
Hope was greatly pleased with the pic
turesque surroundings, and was anx
ious to Burvey the village.
"Then take Jessop with you for a
ramble. I havo letters to write, and
do not feel Inclined to move. Tell
them to light a fire in the salon. 1
like a fire and open windows. The air
is very fresh and delioiously salt, but
I can quite bear a lire."
Hope willingly accepted tho sugges
tion, and as soon ns they had a cup of
tea ehe set out with the prosaic lady's
niald, glad to enjoy some exercise after
the long cramping Journey by rail and
road. It was indeed a primitive little
place. A narrow stony road led be
tween two irregular lines of detached
cottages, each with a littlo garden,
many of thorn overgrown with ivy und
roses. Frequent steep paths betweeu
them led to huts perched on the hill
Hides above them. Gradually tiio road
climbed up clear of those sunoundinfr-i

"We must return now, Jessop," said
Hope. "Mrs. Saville will have been a
Ioiik time alone by tbe time we get
back.
"Sha will indeed, miss; and what
made Mrs. Saville come to this savage
place is past my comprehension." re
turned Hie abigail, in an aggrieved
tone. "There seems to be nothing but
common people without tthoes to the'.r

Tlllo would have got her health better
at Inglefield, with the comforts and
decencies as become her station around
her."
"Perhaps fo; but this Is a sweet
rlaoe. I think I could enjoy it in

Iter rich red lips parted In an uncon
scious smile.
"If your young gentleman was here,
miss?" Bald Jessop, with a confidential
smirk. Jessop had grown friendly and
patronizing to her lady's young com
panion. Hope laughed, and the yearning of
her heart prompted her to reply, "Yea,
that would make it a heavenly place,
Jessop; but I must not allow myself
to think of such Joy."
"That's a pity, miss. So there li a
young gentleman? Indeed, I'd be sur

"Yes, there is many a weary mil

"WHO GIVETH HIMSELF."
HATS VS. MEN'S HAIR.
tho

While the masculine hatless club uaa
not yet struck Pittsburg, it is bound
to come. Pittsburg is never far be
hind in the march of progress, so that
any day we may expect to see promi
nent citizens strolling along 5th ave
nue or Wood street with their ambro
sial locks bared to the saucy breeze.
In Qmahi it is the baldheadcd men
who have organized a hatless club.
The new scientific theory that the
wearing of hats brings baldness has
Induced them to adopt heroic meas
ures to recover their hair. In Chi
cago the hatless fad has been taken
up by the citizens whose domes ot
thought are still crowned by the nat
ural covering, on the principle that
prevention Is better than cure, and
they are going to give the new theory
a thorough trial. Undoubtedly they
are proceeding on the right track. Es
pecially at this season of the year,
when files are pernlcinously active, it
requires courage of a high order for
a baldheaded man to leave his hat at
home. And then there is the possiun
ity that no practical benefit will re
sult. But It seems to have been pretty
effectively demonstrated that fresh air
is conducive to the preservation of
such hair as one already possesses.
Now that hatless clubs are being or
ganized in all parts of the country, it
Is advisable for men to Inform them

strict, and for any infractin a heavy

go through this severe ordeal for the
sake of keeping their good looks? And,
indeed, is even total baldness unlove
ly? Why should it be so considered?
The savage, It Is true, rejoices in flow
ing tresses, but a3 man advances In
civilization, he, loses hi3 hair. There
are no bald Indians, but how many ot

have a chat a "next to the last

friend, Marcla Leslie. At last, having
talked with all her rnsual eager vivaci
ty, ehe sat leisurely back, sirring hef
cup of tea.
"I'll have another lump, Marcla,"
she paid, with mock reproach. "You're
always forgetting that I haven't Just
one sweet tooth, but a whole set of
them. Now tell me, what have you
been doing?"
"A very useful thing, rny dear," an

Interesting myself in Myrtle's read
ing." Miss Framley gave a little Bhrlek of
amusement. "What, 'The Duchess'
and 'Laura Jean Llbbey?' 'Oh, What
a falling off Is there!'" she quoted,
with genial sarcasm, for immediately
her mind made a vivid picture of Myr
tle, a half-pretty, wholly pathetic little
figure, who plodded patiently through
her cleaning cares, apparently unfitted
for any others.
But Marcla had already broken out
In ardent defense of her protege.
"No, not trash at all, and you'll nev

said. "I threw away an old Brown

Palgrave'a 'Golden Treasury' befor
this I've always given her silly bowl
and collars and she's read It all aloud
to her mother, and they loved it Poor

, All through Marcla's speech Cella
had put in little fluttering "Ahs!" and
"Ohs!" of excitement and interest, and
when her friend stopped speaking, she
was sitting quite on the edge ot her
chair.
"I'm a beast, and a stupid one, too,
to misjudge Myrtle so!" she declared.
warmly, for she loved and admired
with eager Intelligence all good litera
ture. "And as a penance I'm going to
give her some of my treasures."
But in the common light of the next
day her generous Impulse was harder
to carry out. She stood before her
bookcase, fingering the volumes, and
wondering how she could ever bear
parting with them. A country doctor'
daughter, books were her luxury. The

copying of manuscripts for her father;
the beautiful edition of Tennyson

Then a sudden thought made her
throat tighten and ache a little. Books
had always seemed very real to her,
their authors living friends. Would
her idols feel that she loved them less
well, cherished thrm less tenderly, If
she gave them away? She picked up
her copy of Lowell, and it fell open
easily to "The Vision of Sir Launfal,"
almost her dearest poem. And out of
the whole page these two lines seemed
to spring:
"Who giveth himself with his nlmi
f?ds three,
Himself, his hungering neighbor, and
Me!"
"That settles it!" she said, aloud
"Cella, you're a selfish pig! The best
way to love the masters Is to share
their glory with some one else." She
caught up a generous armful and ran,
hatless, impetuous, to Marcla's door.
"Give these books to Myrtle and 1
want her to keep them with my
love!" Bhe panted, and she thrust out
the pile. Then she turned and walked
quickly away. She had glveu herself
