Do This Get the
Greatest Benefits
Chicago, 111. Thousands of reports
from people nil over the U. S. who
havo tested Eatonlc, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using It for u
fey weeks, taking ono or two tablets
nfter each meal.
Eatonlc users know that It stops
Belching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but tho
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonlc long enough to take tho
harmful excess acids and gnses entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonlc takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when It Is all removed, the sufferer gets

have arone rotten alnce my time." And
again, aa he wrote lti "It's awful fun,
boys' stories ( you Just Indulge the
pleasure of your heart, tlint'a all."
THE Durlcs of Ballantrae were a
strong family In Scotland from
the days of David I. Their ups
and downs I pass over, to come to that
year 1745 when the foundations of this
tragedy were laid.
There was my lord, studious, tnct
ful and retired from the world. There
was tho master (James In baptism)
with his father's love of study; but
what was tact in the father changed to
black dissimulation in him. Though
ever In broils, invariably ho left his
partners in mischief to pay the piper.
The second son, Mr. Henry, was
neither able nor bad; an out-of-doors,
solid sort, who had had an active hand
from a boy in the management of the
estate. In the house also was Miss
Alison Graeme, an orphan, comely nnd
self-willed, heiress to a fortune and,
because of my lord's necessities,
pledged In marriage to the master.
Then came the uprising for Prince
Charlie. Against the wishes of tho
other three the master elected to ride
with tho prince ; which left Mr. Henry
to take King George's side, this being
a common policy of great houses in
that day. So the master rode to tho
North. Then came the word of Cullo
den and tho master's death. After a
decent time Mr. Henry, to preserve the
estate, married Miss Alison, although
he no more than any other doubted
her love for the master's memory.
But the master was not dead. He
had escaped to sea, his escape being
not to his credit. At sea he was cap
tured fay a pirate ship. By tho most
Ingenious deviltry ho secured the
treasure of the pirate ship as she was
about to fall Into the hands of a king's
cruiser, and escaped with it to the
swamps on tho American shore. One
man he took to guide him out of tho
ontnmn ot-wl H1ra1 Mm 4-e trinfti nfr
they were safely clear of it Thence
ho continued his march to French
Canada, although forced on tho way to
hide his treasure in the wilderness.
This wo learned from a Colonel Burke,
an Irish soldier of fortune, who came
in tho night to plead money for the
support of tho master, who was then
In France.
There was a letter from tho master
which throw Mr. Henry in a passion.
"He calls mo a niggardly dog!" ho
criod. "But if I ruin tho estato I shall
stuff him, the blood-sucker I And all
this I foresaw when he elected himself
nnd not me to go with Prlnco Charlie."
The gap made In our accounts by
the master's demands became a sore
embarrassment. As steward of tho es
tate I must needs rido to Edinburgh
and there raise new loans on hard
terms to keep old ones afoat; and this
held for seven years, Ms. Henry shav
ing everything to tno last farthing to
raise more money, nnd yet more
money; winning for himself thereby
no better title than miser with tho
countryside as well as at home; for
never a word of this business did ho
even tell to the old lord or Mrs. nenry,
It being the devillsK jnallco of the mas
ter to require this secrecy and tho
loyal nature of his brother to comply.
Tho odium attaching to Mr. nenry
and tho knowledge, which came to me,
that tho master all this time hv.d also
a pension from tho Scotch fund in
Paris, becamo too great a burden for
me. I took It oa myself to tell Mrs.
Henry bow her husband bad already
sent 7,000 to the master. Thereafter no

further moneys were wnt abroad, nnd
tho telling did much to check n widen
Ing restraint between Mr. Henry nnd
my lady, a great Joy to me.
This action scsultcd In the master's
return to us, a great curso to the
household; for in all matters of con
tention, though Mr. Henry might be
right, the master had tho trick of set
ting him in tho wrong. Ho still de
manded money, nnd, to sntlsfy him,
tho entail was broken nnd a great
piece of Jind sold; nnd nil tho while
he ceased not to lay siege to tho heart
of Mrs. Henry, carrying It on so deftly
that I senrco knew if sho was aware
of It herself, she whom I doubt not
still loved him.
This brings me to the night when
ho laid the most unbearable of Insults
on Mr. Henry. "I never know n wom
an," said tho master, "who did not
prefer me, nor I think who did not
continue to prefer mo to you." At
which Mr. Henry coldly struck him on
tho mouth.
"A blow I" cried tho master. "I will
not take a blow from God Almighty 1 1
must have blood for this 1"
They fought beyoLd tho shrubbery,
I bringing the candles for them. From
the first Mr. Henry showed himself
the stronger, which so surprised nnd
confused Uio master that ho tried foul
play, but got only tho length of Mr.
Henry's sword through tho body. He
fell, apparently lifeless.
Mr. Henry shook with sobs. I led
him into the house, nnd told tho old
lord and my liuly; but going back to
bring in the body, I found It gone. A
good riddance, I thought, whether dead
or alive, but tho night's work threw
Mr, Henry into a fever, nnd his mind
was never again tho same clear mind
as of old.
The old lord died, and to my lady
and Mr. Henry, now my lord, was born
a boy, and to that boy my lord becamo
a slave, which had not been so with
his first child, Kntherlne. Ho would
pass by his wife as though she were a
dog before the hearth to come at the
boy. Without doubt this was in the
nature of a Judgment on my lady, she
who had been so cold so ninny years
to every mark of his tenderness; but
to me it was monstrous, and I wns em
boldened much ns I loved him, to say
so; but my saying so only served to
send my lord sick to bed and to earn
for me from my lord the' word that I
was no bcttqr than an old maid.
This brings me to that morning In
April 17G4, that the master returned
to us again, this time with an Indian
servant. With his return my lord and
lady, I urging them on, took ship for
New York, where my lady had prop
erty through her father. This voyage,
so I thought, will at one stroke rid
them of the master and weave them
closer together.
Twenty days it took tho master to
learn where they hud gone; where
upon he also sailed for New York, nnd
I on tho same ship, praying that she
would go down, even with myself
with her, If it would but take
tho master also. I looked forward
with woo to tho duy he should set-foot
in New York ; but our ship wns a slow
sailer, and other ships which sailed
later arrived before us; so it hap
pened that my lord had word of the
master's coming and prepared for him.
There was suspicion of more than ono
murder, it seems, to the master's hand
during the earlier stay he made in
America, and so now he found It a bet
ter business to leave New York and
hunt in the wilderness for that treas
ure which he had buried so many
years before.
At this time all the evil tho master
had dono seemed borne in u flood upon
my lord's brain, no becamo moody
and took to drink. There has b.cen
talk that he connived with tho crow
which the master had hired for his ex
pedition, bribing tho leaders to mako
way with his brother. There Is no
evidence of that, but it Is true that tho
master's Indian servant to snvo his
life, aa he said, did bury him alive,
with tho intent to resurrect nnd re
store blm later by tho agency of some
secret oriental trick.
My lord nnd n party, I being of It,
followed the mnstcr, and It was when
the East Indiun was lifting his body
lrom t,le Eravo thnt we camo upon
them. I thought for a moment that
tho eyelids fluttered. Others say that
tho lips strovo to speak, that his teeth
showed through his beard, which may
havo been, for I was busy elsewhere,
for at tho first disclosure of tho dead
man's eyes, my lord had fallen to tho
ground. When I raised him ho was a
corpse.
I burled him there; my lndy laid
an equal stone to each; and thero
where they died, side by side, they Ho
to this day.

FOR BEAUTIFICATION OF ROAD
Praiseworthy Idea Is That of Planting
Trees In Streets of the Varl-
out Cities.
Now comes Charles I.athrop Pack,
president of the Anierjcun Forestry
association, who urges the benutlllca
tlon of romls. Mr. Pack suggests that
wo cense building monuments for at
least ten years, until the proper per
spective can be given the situation,
nnd that nil the roads of the country,
old and new, be planted In honor of
tho men nnd women who entered war
work. He also suggests that counties
work out plans for th placing of
groves, so that we may In time havo
a national extended memorial.
The suggestion has been tnken up In
many parts of the country. A unlquo
Instance Is the work of the people of
Minneapolis, who are planning as fnr
ahead as 1051. Trees nre being
trained there for r0 years hence, tho
American elm, of tho vase type, being
used. A fund of $50,000 hns boon set
aside for the care of these trees. Mr.
C. M. I.orlng Is the chief of the park
system of MimionpolK and this sum
Is his contribution to the memorial.
The trees will be planted 00 feet apart.
Other cities nre also nllvo to what
can be done In this work. Washington
plans to have a driveway between
Potomnc nnd Rock Creek parks, nnd
memorial tree planting Is under dis
cussion there. In Cincinnati, n boule
vard starting In the down-town sec
tion may bo Improved In this manner.

Concerning the Garden.
The delights of a garden don't need
classifying, but some of tho difficul
ties do. The first is to find the right
place In which to make the garden.
It should be In n locality where the
sun will shine on It for nt lenst five
hours each bright tiny. It should not
be where the soil is so thin and the
rocks so near the surface thnt tho
garden will burn out during the sum
mer. It should not be under or nenr
lurge trees; tho tiers will not only
keep tho sun off, but will druw nil
the moisture and plnntfood from the
soil. Nor must the garden bo in q
spot thnt gets flooded.
Co-ordination of Work.
Through the association of com
merce tlte city of Milwaukee Is plan
ning to centralize ull of the city's ac
tivities among the foreign born. Tho
plan cnlls for a general committee,
whose representntlve.9 are drawn from

bodies und for an executive committee
of live members to be appointed from
