Treatment That Surcs-etled.
All sufferers from weakness or disor
dors of tho digostlvo organs will rend
with lively interest tho story of tho com
pleto recovery of Mrs. Ncttlio Darvonx
from chronio dyspepsia which was
thought to bo incurable.
" To bo ailing for uino years is not a
very pleasant experience," said Mrs.
Dnrvoux, when asked for somo account
of her illness. " For two years I was
critically ill and could not attend to my
household duties, and at ouo tiino I was
so woak oud mlscrablo that I could not
oven walk. My troublo was chronio dys
popsia. I bocamo extremely thiu and
had a sallow complexion. I had no ap
potito and could not tako any food with
out sufforing great distress."
" Did y6u havo a physician?"
' Yes, I took medicino from a dozon
different doctors, but without gottiug
any benefit whatover."
"How did you get on tho track of a
euro?"
"A book about Dr. Williams'Pink Pills
was thrown in our doorway ono day.
My husbaud picked it up and read it
through carof ully. Ho was so impressed
by tho statements of thoso who had been
cared by that remedy that ho imme
diately bought threo boxes of tho pills
and insisted on my taking them."
"Did they help yon at once?"
" I began to feel hotter tho second day
after I started to uso tho pills and by tho
ttmolhad taken tho threo boxes I was
entirely well. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
can. euro oven whou doctors fail, and
they euro thoroughly, for a long timo
has passed sinco my restoration to health
aud I know it is completo and lasting."
Tho surest way to mako sound diges

cerned. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills givo
now vigor to tho blood. No othor rem
edy yields such radical results.
Mrs. Darvoux lives at No. 497 Sixth

OPERATION AVOIDED
EXPERIENCE OF HISS MERKLEY
She Was Told That an Operation Wm
Inovltablo. How She Escaped It
When a physician tells a woman suf
fering with ovarian or womb trouble
that an operation is necessary, tho very
thought of the knife and the operating
table strikes terror to her heart, and
our hospitals are full of women coming1
for ovarian or womb operations.
Thero aro cases where an operation
is tho only resource, but when one con
siders tho great number of cases of
ovarian and womb troublo cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians havo advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkhara,
Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes:
Dear Sirs. Pinkhnm:
" Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through tho polvio orgnns,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
roe to soelc medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said I bad ovarian
trouble and ulceration and advised an opera
tion. To this I strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Tho ulceration quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and I am
once more strong, vigorous and welL"
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead
ily on the increase among women. If
tho monthly periods aro very painful,
or too frequent and excessive if you
have pain or swelling low down in the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-rhcr-a,
don't neglectyourself : try Lydia

CHAPTER XXVIII.
Senor Toro's Little Game.
What Smlthers says is exactly to
tho point.
Around tho qunrtor where the head
of tho military forces In Cuba is re
ceiving thoso who deslro to shako his
hand the scone Is Indeed a brilliant
ono.
Looking in every direction tho snmo
bewildering crusli meets tho eye;
banners wavo in tho electric glow,
and when tho band temporarily ceases
for a breathing spell, tho murmur of
thousands of voices can bo heard.
Suddenly Travers utters au ex
clamation. "You havo seen her, too. I just dis
covered her presence Something
must havo drawn our eyes thcro at
tho samo time," says Smlthers.
"Yes, I could tell Lola Montez oven
at this distance. Sho is looking un
usually beautiful to-night," remarks
his companion, keeping his eyes upon
tho further sldo of tho ring below.
Smlthers smiles grimly.
"Yes, but Lola Js hardly as beauti
ful as her ill-fated mother. I doubt
whether a being over existed with a
faco and form moro perfect," is what
ho says in a half-modltatlvo way.
"You know her, then, Smlthers?"
"Well, yes. Sho was my brothor's
wife."
"Ah, then this girl Is really your
niece!"
"It is true. I promised you. tho
story, Senor Jack. It concerns ono of
the blackest spots in tho history of
Cuba's lact war for independence.
"Tho girl favors her mother alto
gether, and as you see, has adopted
her name nlso.' Although my name,
I frankly tell you, is a littlo moro
classical than Smlthers, sho prefers
the Spanish.
"Sho has much wealth, which camo
to her in a remarkablo manner sinco
you met her out in Santa Fo, Now
Mexico. At that timo sho was living
with some relatives; but when For
tuno poured riches in her lap in tho
shapo of gold mines in Mexico, tho
girl gavo herself wholly over to tho
causo of Cuban liberty, and sinco that
day sho has spent her incomo for
thoso who fight under' tho flag of tho
Lono Star. Ah! I could talk to you
for hours, telling" all she has dono.
Cuba owes her much, and tho narao
of Lola Montez will never bo forgot
ten by thoso for whom sho has la
bored. "I havo read hoc secret, my dear
sir, and I realizo that it is impossi
ble. You must not think badly of her
becauso sho looks upon you ns littlo
less than a god. Remember how on
several occasions you hnvo appeared
to her in tho rolo of a hero twlco
you saved her life. It would bo very
strango indeed if sho did not regard
you as ono far above other men."
"I am sorry it is so. Perhaps, if I
had never met Jessie Cameron "
"You would havo madly adored
Lola you could not have helped it,
sir. Look yonder, Jack; they meet
faco to face."
Travers holds his breath.
Ho SCC3 that what Smlthers says is
true. Over yonder, dmong thoso who
saunter about tho arena, listening to
tho band discourse national airs, Jes
sie and Lola havo been brought to
gether. And Jack stands thero and watches
them pass each other haughtily
stands thero nnd even experiences a
miserablo feeling of exultation at not
ing tho manner of tho woman ho
adores, sinco it tolls him plainly sho
has not escaped- unscathed when tho
littlo god wns sending his arrows
about
All this, however, Is suddenly for
gotten. Above the clash of musical Instru-
Pass each other haughtily,
ments sending forth their notes of
harmony yes, even above tho thun
derous sound of tho big drum
comes a fearful crash that reaches
every year. It is as if an explosion
fcas taken place, and many timid
people imagine this to be tho truth.
Jack and Smlthers know bettor.
They see tho shattered boards that
formed tho door of the bull-pon fly in
every direction and a groat black ob
ject lumber into view. Taurus has
done it.
Frenzied shouts burst out from
scores yes, hundreds of throats. The
animal pays no heed to tho tumult
Copyright, ISM, by Street and Bmlth.
Indeed, ho may liken it to tho clamor
ous applause which accompanied his
victory of tho afternoon, so that ho is
only spurred on to do ills best.
As his especial hatred scorns to bo
aroused in (ho direction of tho band,
ho turns his attention toward that
quarter first.
- While tho horrified people aro
struggling to lcavo tho ringand, as
is quito natural under such condi
tions, blocking tho only means of exit
so that no ono is nblo to ulillzo it
tho black beast makes his clinrgo
upon tho unfortunate drummer, who
hns tho mtsfortuuo to be ho attached
to his instrument that lie cannot part
from it,
A couplo of heart heals, then conies
tho crash.
Man and drum ascended logothor
in adversity as well ns in prosperity
they still refuse to bo separated.
It Is really a comical sight, and
Jack would laugh only that tho dan
ger is great.
AU this in less than a mlnuto of
time.
Tho bull has apparently mapped
out his duty, which is to clear tho
arena of all specimens of tho genus
homo, nnd this ho sots out to per
form with amazing zeal.
Having disposed of tho most ob
noxious performer in tho military
band, ho proceeds to chase tho other
wretched members hither and thither
around tho limits of tho ring.
Ah Sin usually manages to havo a
hand in most things as thoy come to
pass, though in this caso it is much
against his will that ho is made ac
quainted with tho raging beast.
Instead of attempting to escapo by
moans of climbing tho barrier, ho has
made for tho common exit, and find
ing that blocked by tho half-crazed
mob, tho Chinaman runs along the
fence, seeking a rcfugo in ono of the
littlo niches placed at intervals to afi
ford tho toreadors a haven of snfety
in caso of being too hotly pressed
by tho beast.
Every niche ho looks into seems to
already havo an occupant. His con
fusion increases, and ho darts hither
and thither, much after tho fashion
of a chicken with its head cut off.
And his eccentric movements
speedily attract tho very attention ho
would avoid, so that almost before ho
realizes his danger Ah Sin has a rlso
in tho world.
Perhaps he clings to tho long horn
of tho animal, thus destroying tho
charm of tho arch his body might
havo described. At any rate, to tho
astonishment of tho crowd, and doubt
loss to his own consternation, Ah Sin
lands plump upon tho back of tho rag
ing terror, straddling tho beast as a
cavalryman might a horse.
Ono action follows another with
such lightnlng-llko rapidity that al
most beforo tho multltudo can real
izo that tho terror of the arena has a
rider on his back, Ah Sin, finding
himself nenr tho barrier, makes a
desperate lungo and throws his form
half-way over tho fence, having es
caped destruction in a miraculous
manner.
What next?
Tho bull Is not at all weary of well
doing in fact, ho appears to havo
only made a s,tart, and having fin
ished tho Celestial, as ho believes,
surveys tho field for now victims.
Thero aro plenty left.
Alas! most of them aro of tho gen
tler sex. Sad to relate, in UiIb tre
mendous excitement, tho gallant
beaux who promenaded with their
sweethearts in tho nrena have been
horrified to discover tho entire ab
sence of suitable weapons nmong
them. At least, it would be cliarltablo
to bcllovo that tho frenzied rush these
noblo cavaliers mako to securo weap
ons, and bo tho first to faco Monsieur
Toro.
Somo scramble up tho palisade;
others fill tho niches that might bet
ter havo given shelter to helpless
women; and not a fow, urged on by
this heroic desire to save tho poor
creatures in danger of being tramp
led, and gored, finding tho exit
blocked, climb over tho heads of thoso
who fill tho gateway. Their ardor
and gallantry may not bo balked by
trifles.
Alas! for tho helpless womon thus
left to tho mercy of a maddened beast.
Tho sight is enough to stir tho
blood In the veins of any man worthy
of tho namo.
Senor Jack has seen it all.
Ho suddenly remembers his words
to his companions when discussing
tho samo matter. Tho time has como
for him to make his boast good tho
time when helpless ones aro in deadly
peril,- with no man's arm to stand
between them and destruction.
It flashes upon him that when last
ho saw Jessie Cameron sho was in
tho arena. Ho arouses himself ho
clambers over the seats in front, and
while all othor men havo been leav
ing the bull-ring in mad hasto, Jack
Travors drops from tho barrier into
tho open space.
CHAPTER XXIX.
Well Won.
No sooner does Jack feel the soft
tan bark under his feet than ho takos
In tho situation. In the fow seconds
that have intervened the bull has
started upon his crusade again.
His horns aro no longer shiny
black, but dulled with tho lifoblood

gurt'1 and tossed asldr.
Vgaln ho turns to bear down upon
tho ili'fet'seless flock, huddlod yonder,

of terror.
luck's lienrt almost freezes within
him ns In front of all tho othors ho
discovers tho ono In whom his ltfo'a
happiness is bound up.
Yes, it is tho maid of Scotland
palo as death, yet not betrnying her
deadly fenr in any othor wny.faclng
tho onrushlng bull with tho calm, un
flinching heroism that might havo
boon shown by Christian martyrs at
tho stake.
Horrors! beforo ho can covor half
tho ground, tho onrushlng beast must
reacli hor, and tho tragedy bo mado
completo.
Can ho causo tho assailant to
swerve by menns of a bullet? Tho
distance Is so groat, and tho chances
of tho loadon messenger misBlng its
mark, to do deadly execution among
tho peoplo beyond, that Jack dares
not try it.
Straddling the beast.
Ah, n grain of good luck rather a
factor from a merciful Providence.
Tho distracted trombono player's
fihlnlnc Instrument chances to attract
tho attention of tho charging beast
as it lies thero upon tho tan bark,
and ho halts long enough to send it
whirling after its gifted owner, as If
to emphasizo his utter contompt for
all military bands in general, and
this ono whiclv had endeavored to
play his funeral march that afternoon
in particular.
Even tliis smnll thing Is a point In
favor of tho runner.
Tho time is too limited for Jack to
head tho animal ns is his earnest de
slro; but ho has been nblo to cut
down tho bruto's lend considerably,
which may count for something ere,
this scene In tho exciting drama has
closed.
As ho rXins, Travers shouts nt tho
top of his voice, hoping In thiB man
ner to attract tho notlco of tho bull
townrd himself.
Under ordinary circumstances ho
might bo able to accomplish this, but
thcro is now so great a clamor on
all sides that Taurus pays not the
slightest heed.
ling of an eyo that tako much time
to describe; and while so groat an
amount of damago has been dono by
tho furious beast, it has not been two
minutes Blnco ho burst from his pen,
to scatter consternation over tho vast
audlonco gathered to pay their re
spects to tho Captain-General of Cuba,
and without tho least anticipation of
witnessing a bullfight.
Straight on gallops tho beast, with
Jack straining every nervo to throw
himself to tho, fore.
Perhaps Jesslo sees his bravo ef
fortperhaps sho realizes that it is
on account of her ho would willingly
faco that monster beforo whom all
others havo fled in diro dlsmny. If
so, hor heart must bo touched by this
evidonco of his devotion.

THOUSAND-MILE RIDE
LONG TRIP, WITH HEALTH AND
PLEA8URE THE OBJECTS.
Correspondent Writes of Journey In
Texas and Mexico With a Party as
Guests of the Southern Pacific Rail
road. Gllson Wlllett, special correspond
ent of Lcsllo's Weekly, writes enter
tainingly of a thoUsnnd-mllo horseback
hunt in Texas and Moxlco with a party
as guosts of tho Southorn Pacific rail
road. Tho members of tho party rep
resented twolvo different states. At
Sablnas, Mexico, ho says:
"Over half of tho thousand-mllo Jour
ney has boon completed and tho fel
lows who nro hero for tholr health aro
now hard as nails; thoso who camo
along with an nppetlto for pleasuro
nro woll-nlgh satiated; and tho sports
mon havo brought In, day after day,
Incredibly huge bags of ducks, gocso,
rabbits, squirrels, and no end of small
game, not to mention big hauls of
deer, bear, wild turkeys and fish. All
of which is duo to about tho most
healthful region in tho Union; to a
section of country whero pleasurablo
diversion is eternally at hand, and to
n territory that is literally a sports
man's paradise hitherto untrod and un
shot and unfished."
Mr. Wlllett bestows a deserved
eulogy on tho splendid hospitality of
tho Southern Pacific and tho hearty
wolcomo accorded tho party in south
orn cities from Now Orleans onward.
Visitors to southwest Texas will pot
need to bo told of tho really marvelous
work done by tho Southern Pacific in
building up that section of tho coun
try. Mr. Wlllett says:
"Then wo again boarded our train
and railroaded on for tho most of a
day, through a country In which tho
Southern Pacific has caused a blado of
grass not to speak of stalk of corn,
cano or sugar, and bloBsom of cotton
to flourish whero nono grow beforo.
"Thirty miles farthor Inland on tho
San Diego river wo mado our first
camp In Moxlco. After that our
camps wcro from twenty to fifty miles
npart. And thus wo have progressed
on our thousand-mllo horsoback hunt,
passing through strango villages and
seeing queer peon customs, visiting tho
headquarters of mighty ranches of a
million acres, whero tho owners escort
ed us to tho front door with six hun
dred whlto horses, or six hundred
black horses, or six hundred bays, as
tho caso might bo, and having all
sorts of diversions of big hunts, and
witnessing many kinds of uniquo
eights in primitive and quaint old Mox
lco. "Our first threo or four camps were
mado on ono of tho largest ranches in
tho world tho Trovlno ranch of 1,000,
000 acres. Of this great ranch as
big as a Now England state as on all
tho other great ranches wo havo trav
ersed, tho Southern Pacific manage
ment obtained all hunting and fishing
privileges.
"It was on tho great Trovlno ranch
that tho hcalthscokers of tho party
first discovered that thoy woro get
ting in Mexico exactly what they had
como for a now constitution. Tho
sportsmen of tho party, too, were out
lato and up early on "tho chase that
plcaseth.' Tho motto always was to
kill only such game, however plentiful
it might be, as was actually needed for
consumption at our tablo, for tho
Southern Pacific stands for tho kill
ing of game for food only."
Many interesting stories of tho dis
trict traversed aro rolated by Mr. Wll
lett Ho concludes:
"Thus on this trip every promise
mado by tho Southorn Pacific railroad
has been kept to tho letter Just as
similar promises will bo kept on the
second annual thousand-mile horse
back hunting party already talked of
for next year."
Dust Your Foliage Plants.
All plants which aro grown for their
foliage effect and which aro, thereforo,
to bo kopt for any considerable time
in the homo, must recclvo attention
at tho tops as well as at tho roots.
In tho cleanest of houses dust will ac
cumulate, and this, sottling upon tho
leaves, blocks up tho breathing porea
of the plant. Tho only remedy is re
moval of tho dust, to which end a
sponging of clean water, say at least
onco a week, should bo given.
