| narram- and had w* a woman slip
-nto ibe diKtcM'iutinicni that is only
a st- p from death
ltri*fly. tbm. the housekeeper's
story was this:
i rt» was almost W years old. and
had been the * sier mother of a large
lattiily of children One by one they
had died and been buried beside their
jarnli tn a little town in the middle
west. There was only one sister left,
the baby Lucy <** tier the older girl
had la us bed all the love of an impul
sne and emotional nature. When
Anne, the elder, was 22 and Cory is.
a young ran Lad come to the town
He was g«-.og east, after spending the
summer at a celebraied ranch in Wy
oming—one of those places w here
wealthy m*-n send worthless and dis
• .jia>-«d sons for a season of temper
ate - fresh air and bunting The
• -ters. of course, knew nothing of
- tins, and the young man's ardor rath
er carried them away In a word,
■cut »ears before. Lucy Has well had
marred a v trace tnan whose name was
given as Aubrey Wallace.
Anne iiaswel! ban married a car
>t'*r an her native town and was a
widow For three months everything
went fairly well Aubrey took his
bride to Chicago, where they lived at
a hotel Perhaps the very unsophisti
cation that had charmed him in Val
ley Mill jarred an him in the city. He.
had been far from a model husband,
even tor the three months, and when
be disappeared Anne was almost
thankful. It was different with the
young wife, however She drooped
and fretted, and on the birth of her
baby boy she bad died Anne took the
child and named him Lucien.
Anne Lad had no children of (er
own. and on Lucien she had lavished
all her aborted maternal instinct. On
<me thing she was determined, how
ever: That was that Aubrey Wallace
should educate his boy It was a part
o' her devotion to the child that she
should be ambitious far him. he
must Lave every opportunity And so,
m>»- cause east She drifted around,
doing plain sewing and keeping a
!.*>:• * somewhere always for the boy.
Finally, however, she realized that
her only tiaining had been domestic,
and she put the boy in an Kpisco
plaiian house, and secured the posi
tion of housekeeper to the Arm
strongs There she found Lucien's
fath* r, this time under his own name.
It was Arnold Armstrong.
1 gathered that there was no par
ticular enmity at that time in Anne's
mind She told him of the boy, and
threatened exposure if he did not pro
vide for him. Indeed, for a time, he
did so Then he realized that Lucien
was the ruling passion in this lonely
woman’s life. He found out where
the child was hidden, and threatened
to take him away. Anne was frantic.
The positions became reversed.
Wker - Arnold bad given money for
l-iu ion's support, as the years went
on h* forced money from Anne Wat
son instead until she was always pen
ni’es- The lower Arnold sank in the
s< aie. the heavier his demands be
came With the rupture between him
and his family things were worse.
Ann* u*ok the child from the home
and hid him in a farmhouse near
Casanova on the Claysburg road.
There she went sometimes to see the
boy. and there he had taken fever.
The jH-ople were Germans, and he
* ailed the farmer's wife grossniutter.
He had grown into a beautiful boy.
and he was all Anne had to live for.
i n«- Armstrongs ten lor eaiiiomia.
and Arnold s persecutions began anew.
He was furious over the child’s dis
appearance and she was afraid he
would do her some hurt. She left the
hie house and went down to the lodge.
When I had rented Sunnyside. how
ever she had thought the persecutions
would stop She had applied for the
position of housekeeper and secured it.
That had heen on Saturday. That
night lxtuise arrived unexpectedly.
Thomas sent for Mrs. Watson and
then went for Arnold Armstrong at
the Greenwood club. Anne had been
fond of Louise—she reminded her of
Lucy. She did not know what the
trouble was. but Louise had been in
a state of terrible excitement. Mrs.
Watson tried to hide from Arnold, but
he was ugly. He left the lodge and
went up to the house about 2:30. was
admitted at the east entrance and
came out again very soon. Something
had occurred, she didn't know what;
but very soon Mr Innes and another
gentleman left, using the car.
Thomas and she had got Louise
quiet, and a little before three Mrs.
Watson started up to the house.
i Thomas had a key to the east entry,
and gave it to her.
On the way across the lawn she
was confronted by Arnold, who for
| some reason was determined to get
■nto the house. He had a golf-stick
in his hand, that he had picked up
somewhere, and on her refusal he had
struck her with it. One hand had
been badly cut, and it was that, pois
oning having set in. which was killing |
her. She broke away in a frenzy of
rage and fear, and got into the house
while Gertrude and Jack Hailey were
at the front door. She went upstairs,
hardly knowing what she was doing.
Gertrude's door was open, and Hal
sey's revolver lay there on tha ted.
She picked it up and turning ran part j
way down the circular staircase. She !
could hear Arnold fumbling at the
look outside. She slipped down quiet- !
ly and opened the door; he was in
side before she had got back to the I
stairs. It was quite dark, but she i
could see his white shirt-bosom. From :
Use fourth step she fired. As he fell !
somebody in the billiard room
screamed and ran When the alarm
was raised, she had had no time to
get upstairs: she hid in the west wing
until every one was down on the
lower floor. Then she slipped upstairs
and tliew the revolver out of an up
per window, going down again in time
to admit the men from the Greenwood
club.
If Thomas had suspected, he had
never told. When she found the hand
Arnold had injured was growing
worse, she gave the address of L.ucien
at Richfield to the old man and almost
$100. The money was for Lucien's
board until she recovered. She had
sent for me to ask me if 1 would try
to interest the Armstrongs in the
child. When she found herself grow
ing worse she had written to Mrs.
Armstrong, telling her nothing but
that Arnold's legitimate child was at
Richfield, and imploring her to recog
nize him. She was dying; the boy
was an Armstrong, and entitled to his
fathers share of the estate. The pa
pers were in her trunk at Sunnyside,
with letters from the dead man that
wouid prove what she said. It was
she who had crept down the circular
staircase, drawn by a magnet, that
night Mr. Jamieson had heard some
one there. Pursued, she had fled
madly, anywhere—through the first
door she came to. She had fallen
down the clothes chute, and been
saved by the basket beneath. I could
have cried with relief; then it had not
been Gertrude, after all!
That was the story. Sad and tragic
though it was. the very telling of it
seemed to relieve the dying woman.
She did not know that Thomas was
dead, and i did not tell her. I prom
ised to look after little Lucien. and
sat with her until the intervals of con
sciousness grew shorter and finally
ceased altogether. She d>ed that night.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
Ways to Keep Neat.
My children were becoming dread
fully careless about leaving their
things around,” said an original moth
er, and the older members of the
family weren't any too tidy. Sc T
made up my mind that I wasn't going
to be a pick-up' drudge for the rest
of the household. I set up a big fine
box. a box with an oblong hole in the
top, into w hich I put everv single
thing hat, coat, toy’, pipe, no matter
what that I found lying around in
the way. And to get his or her prop
erty the owner had to pay a penny_
if it was one of the children; ten
cents in case of the older ones. As l ;e
children have only- an allowance of
ten cents a week each, they didn't
naturally want to pay it out in fines;
so they began to be careful. Gradual
ly the whole family mended their
ways, and now my fine box is general
ly empty, and the house is as tidy as
you please.”
Intelligence in the Kitchen.
The higher the intelligence and the
broader the education of the woman
in the kitchen, the greater the pleas
ure and satisfaction in household du
ties.
The woman who cooks intelligently
is commanding great and mysterious
forces of nature. She is an alchemist
behind an apron. At her command
food constituents that are indigestible,
unpalatable and even poisonous, are
subjected to chemical changes that
render them an epicurean delight. The
woman of real intelligence and powers
of imagination finds in her well or
dered kitchen a source of deep and en
during interest and pleasure.
Day of Rest and Pleasure
Filipinos of Both Sexes Make Sunday
a Time of Enjoyment—The
Market Women.
It is the women who market the
I>roduee. K*rly each morning long
lines of these farmer wives, with great
; cigars in their mouths and large bas
kets of wares on their heads, can be
seen striding along the narrow trails
; toward the capital city where market
is held, says a Manila correspondent.
Strong and happy, they wade
| through the streams and the mud,
calling out to one another as they go.
, and only stopping to get a fresh light
■ for their cigars from same one of
their number or some one whom they
chance to meet. Once at market they
chat, smoke, laugh and barter for
hours over a few small tomatoes,
some green squash, a live chicken,
eggs, fruit, sugar or anything they
happen to have, and toward noon they
straggle home, having had a good
visit and sold or exchanged their
wares.
Sunday is the one really strenuous
day for the Filipino. It is the big
market day when people come from
all the surrounding country, and it
is the time when cock-fights are al
lowed Men spend a good share of
their time during the week in training
their pet rooste-s. and on Sunday,
early and late, they can be seen going
to and from the pit. carrying their
game-cocks under their arms.
Excitement runs high and their joy
ous shouts can be heard for a long
way. Some women attend the fights,
but most of them do the double dutv
of attending mass and then patroniz
ing the market, which is just across
| the street from the church. All day
Sunday they are active and excitable
but the next day they settle back into
their quiet, uneventful lives.
Cheering Her Up.
Islington, which is no longer rural
was once so esteemed by medical men
that they sent their paUents there
after severe illness. Many also went
there in the last stages in the forlorn
hope that the invigorating air might
restore them to health, a story re
lated by Dr. Abernethy turns on the
latter class of visitors. One of his
patients engaged some rooms in Is
lington. and casually remarked to the
landlady that the banisters on the
staircase were very much broken.
• Lor- bless you. mam,-- said the land
lady. "it's no use to mend them, for
they always get broken when the un
dertaker’s men bring the coffins down
stairs."—London Chronicle.
Do Not Use Creosote.
Creosote should never be put into a
hollow tooth for toothache. It relieves
the pain, but in time destroys the sub
stance of the tooth. Leave creosote
to expert use.
GETTING EVEN WITH MAMMA
In This Case. Child's Punishment Cer
tainly Failed to Have Salu
tary Effect.
A little girl had been so very '
naughty that her mother found it
necessary to shut her up in a dark
closet—in that family the direst
punishment for the worst offense.
For 15 minutes the door had been
locked without a sound coming from
behind it. Not a whimper, not a sniffle.
At last the stern but anxious parent
unlocked the closet door and peered ;
Into the darkness. She could see !
nothing.
"What are you doing in there?" she ,
cried.
And then a little voice piped from
the blackness:
"I thpit on your new dress and I
thpit on your new hat. and I'm wait
ing for more thpit to come to thpit
on your new parasol!”
HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN
“I am a man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
so that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blcod dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite sore since. I would not !
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
“They also cured a bad sore on the
hard of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti
cura Remedies. John W. Hasty. So. Ef

Fads for Weak Women
Nine-tenths of all the sickness ol women is due to some derangement or dis
ease of the organs distinctly feminine. Such sickness can he cured-is cared
every day by
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
It Makes Weak Women Strong,
Sick Women Well.
It acts directly on the organs affected and is at the same time a general restora
tive tonic for the whole system. It cures female complaint right in the privacy
of home. It makes unnecessary the disagreeable questioning, examinations and
local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and so abhorrent to
every modest woman.

CONVINCING PROOF
OF THE VIRTUE OF
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
What is the use of procrastinating in the face of such
evidence as the following letters represent? If you are a
sick woman or know one who is, what sensible reason have
you for not giving Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound a trial ? For 30 years we have been publishing such
testimonial letters as these—thousands of them —they are
genuine and honest, too, every’ one of them.
jure. j. isaroer says:
"itnink i.yata K.
