Ingredients of the Family Medicines Which Have Made His Name a Household Word In the World With all the recent talk about patent medicines and the determined effort in certain quarters to cast discredit upon all household remedies which come un der that head the fact remains that some of these medicines are so firmly established in popular favor and con fidence have so proved their worth and value that all the denunciations of bigots cannot destroy the peoples faith In them One of the best known of these rem edies is Dr Pierces Favorite Prescrip tion a medicine which for years has been accepted by the people as a stan dard preparation for the cure of those ailments to which women alone are subject and which has proved to be a certain cure in nine cases out of ten and a sure relief In the other one There is nothing to conceal about the Favorite Prescription It is an ab solutely pure medicine made of roots and herbs Natures own restoratives Dr Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know that his Favorite Pre scription contains Blue Cohosh Caulo phyllum Thalictroides Black Cohosh Cimicifuga Racemosa Ladys ner Cynripedlum Pubescens ana Golden Seal Hydrastis Canadensis Every doctor knows that such a pre scription is beneficial In the diseases of women and when properly com pounded is certain to effect a cure in practically all cases when given a fair trial Hereafter every bottle of the Favorite Prescription will plainly tell of what the medicine is composed Thus Dr Pierce will once more prove to the world his own confidence in the remedy which for forty years has borne his name and which is known all over the world as a sovereign cure for those diseases which unchecked make our women old before their time There is no alcohol in the Favorite Prescription Dr Pierce never be lieved in using alcohol in the prepara tion of his famous household remedies For it he substituted chemically pure glycerine which has wonderful prop erties for extracting the medicinal principles of roots and herbs and barks orifi nrosprvtnc them at their full strength without any deleterious ef fect whatever Your druggist sells the Favorite Prescription and

Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kid ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure cure and that is Dodds Kidney Pills This belief grows from such cases as that

have ever taken I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasnt bothered me since Itook Dodds Kid ney Pills Considering that Mrs Davison only took two boxes of Dodds Kidney

CHAPTER XI Continued M lnet vrfii nrfl n mv nnwer said less man s iace Huntington muttered something but it was unintelligible on account of the gag in his mouth As if the mere thought of being in his enemys power was not enough to distract the bound and helpless vic tim Schiller added And soon your lovely Pearl will join you in your im prisonment Huntington struggled fiercely His eyes sparkled the very defiance whih was pent up in his soul His daugh ter the lovely Pearl being enticed into the power of these villains It was the bitterest kind of gall and wormwood to the bound man And he unable to assist her Ah you feel the blow chuckled Schiller exultantly And the chances are that you will live to see your tuous maid the wife of a convict You made me one so you wont care eh kicking the prostrate man The man hood of Schiller asserted itself in thus maltreating a defenseless prisoner Dr Huntington groaned not a groan of physical but a groan of mental pain then as if aware of the useless ness of struggling lay quiet What his thoughts were is not hard to im agine It would have fared bad with Dr Schiller could his victim have succeeded in wrenching himself free from his bonds But Schiller had it all his own way His brutality went no further He was restrained by the presence of Sharkey who was acting the part of the wounded man and Pearson who now entered from the front door Although these two were convicts they were lovers of fair play After a whispered conversation be tween these three men in which it seems that Sharkey and Pearson seemed to be trying to persuade Schil ler to abandon some project he had t vic Anmn rpopivinz orders hard not to break down He does not wish to alarm us but he is dying Schiller as he peered into the help 1 I know he is dying What shall I do I And mnrnmn is away mamma This was relief to Whittleby to learn that the mother was away Come with me he said My mother has gone to the recep tion and if I am not here when she returns she will worry about me Her absence is a blessing you will be back before she returns put on your cloak and come with me The daughter did so but not until she had asked where her father was and before she left the house she scribbled off the note which was found upon the center table Not without some misgivings was Pearl assisted to a seat beside Whit tleby When she thought of the sup posed condition of her father she had no fear but what she was doing per fectly right in not warning her mother beforehand No tinge of shame wounded her fair cheeks at the thought of being seen upon the street in an old fashioned tumbled down wagon beside a clownish looking youth only the time seemed to drag terribly though she was driven quick ly through the streets and finally came to the crossing in view of Squire Briggs house Up to this time and even now no thought of evil entered her pure mind Where is he she asked I suppose they have taken him down to Squire Briggs cabin I heard the men say something about it That is where the man is who broke his leg was the ready answer Pearl shuddered She had a horror of sickness and pain of any sort Perhaps Whittleby continued as if inspired by a sudden happy thought Perhaps your father is not so badly hurt as was at first thought merely bruised a little he may have hastened on to relieve the greater sufferings of the wounded man know- Who has done this in view Dr Huntington heard the team being driven off and realized fTiat the girl of his heart perhaps his wife would be enticed into the villains power He prayed he cursed he struggled but no help good or bail came to his aid For a few moments all was quiet in the cabin Dr Huntington was finally placed on the bunk with a sheet thrown over him the candle was blown out and Pearson took up his station on the outside of the hut se cure from view from the road Shar key sat in one corner of the room calmly smoking his pipe Possibly an hour passed in this manner then again the candle was lit The men wore determined looks upon their faces Soon came the sound of a wagon coming down the lane then it stopped The men hid behind the door when opened and in bounded Pearl Huntington out of breath and seemingly greatly agitat ed The door was closed behind her and when she turned she was con fronted by the stern looks of the des perate men But let us describe the abductors of Pearl Huntington and learn how she came to fall into the trap set for her Tom Whittleby the driver ot the waeon which had brought Dr Hunt- irg you were coming to him Whittleby had stopped the team The youth turned an inquiring glance upon the girl as if waiting an answer Drive on It was with evident effort that Pearl said this If she could have realized the value of these few words she would never have utter ed the sanction of the drivers action Whittleby criminal that he is had re solved not to use force in urgirg Pearl on to her doom He was but the tool of a greater scoundrel and would have been willing to have fail ed in his undertaking Scoundrel though he is he had never fallen so low as to war on a woman But Pearl blindly walked into the trap set for her but it was baited with the love of a kind and indulgent father They drove up to the cabin door and Whittleby assisted her to alight As he had not the heart to force her into bondage he ostensibly busied himself with tying his team telling Pearl to run ahead and let herself into the house When Pearl entered the house and met the three men and saw her father lying bound and help less before her she did not scream with fright and faint away but her bringing up asserted itself She saw it all indignation took the place of fear How dare you she demanded Who has done this drawing up her from Schiller after untying his team form to its magnificent height Cow t th seat and returned to ards she cried in a voice that ex- town driving straight to the home of j pressed nothing more than contempt and Dr Huntington He rang tne Den at the front door and was waited upon by Pearl herself Tour father Whittleby began and he nervously twisted his hat in his hand What of him asked Pearl in a voice tremulous with emotion Oh say he has not been hurt I am sorry to have to say so said the youth as if with an effort but while crossing the railroad track my scorn team grew frightened and threw him soon thf I now tr nTr wnernn 4 Have a care woman hissed Schil ler stung to the quick at the taunt and quite unprepared for the turn the scene had taken rather expecting tears Have a care or you will suf fer the same indignity And so it is you she retorted pointing her finger in scorn upon the man Why have you done this By intuition she recognized Schiller That you shall know only too he said seizing her arm But l have no time to waste in an- nT nh mv father she swering questions Then in a milder cried wildly striving hard to keep tone he was struck with her intense beauty and revengeful though he was back her tears Let me go to him he hesitated to use violence upon her He does not wish to alarm your mother Whittleby said cautiously J person It would not have been well for him had he done so for the two but perhaps you He is not hurt badly men who now surrounded him would had better see him Just like papa she said striving not have seen Pearl ill treated King though he was of the powerful Society of Convicts ho was not supreme in his power once outside his own dom inion and it would not have taken much to have sat Pearson and Shar key against him With a gesture of disdain Pearl threw off the restraining hand of her fathers enemy and with a cty of an guish fell upon her knees beside her father Miss Huntington said Schiller In as calm a voice as he could command as he tore her from her fathers breast that you will not be allowed to do but if you give me your word of honor not to cry out nor try to es cape I will not bind you should you refuse I will be compelled to use force A compact with criminals Is not binding she cried again struggling to escape from his grasp As you please said Schiller fiercely Then I will have to bind you As you will she said disdain fully I do not wish to be beholden even for a slight favor What are you going to do with papa Even in the extreme peril that she realized sur rounded her her fears were most for her father Make you Queen of the Convict Country make your father Sir James Karhu Huntington Physician in Chief to the Convict Court Does not this flatter you Who are you she asked at last sobered by the vehement words of the great scoundrel My name Is Schiller of whom you have no doubt heard and I am the king of the convicts You look it A villain and a con vict was the retort She bad ceased to struggle now and Schiller proceed ed to bind her Only once did she attempt to reach her father again Have good cheer father she said just before they proceeded to tie a handkerchief over her mouth All will be well After binding the girl no time was lost in preparing to move The team had been turned around Pearl and her father were forced into the wagon and stretched out upon the bottom upon a pile of straw then the whole party set out Whittleby and Schil ler seated themselves upon the drivers seat Sharkey and Pearson sat in the rear of the wagon with their feet hanging over the back com pletely hiding from view their prison ers Bid farewell to freedom home and family said Schiller tauntingly to the bound and helpless man below him for you never will enjoy them more It is my turn now I swore to be even with you and I mean to keep my word You have made me suffer years of toil and the loss of freedom and now I will heap the same indignity upon you tenfold I have torn you from your family and friends and am carrying you into bondage worse than death you anu vour Pearl and will seat her upon the throne of a people unchaste and im pure You will be forced to tend Jrhe sick and dying at any and all times and there will be no pleasure in per forming a good days work no atten tion no quiet fireside to rest at after your labors are over Dr Huntington scarce heard the taunt His thoughts were far away He was thinking of his wife his faith ful companion through years of toil and struggling and his heart bled for her The thought was terrible would his gentle loving helpmate lose her mind God grant that such would not be her fate Of Pearl he dared not think it was too horrible When morning broke many miles had been passed over and the muddy waters of the mighty Ohio lay stretched out before them Now Pearl and her father were placed under a powerful drug and became un conscious of their surroundings In this state they were taken on board a packet plying down the river and they knew not whither the tide bore them To be continued ACCENT NOT GOOD ENOUGH Otis Skinner Unsuccessful in Fooling Englishman It is a common experience of American tourists to be recognized at once as Americans when in England and the readiness of the English in letting one know that he is stamped as it were with the word America is often annoying no matter how patriot ic one may be says Ethel Shackel ford in Lippincotts For this reason it often happens that tourists affect an English accent for the time being When Mr and Mrs Otis Skinner were abroad last summer they grew very weary of having things explained to them as though they were foreigners and unable to understand the English language Mr Skinner was not in clined to go into a shop in Warwick one day so that Mrs Skinner might inquire the price of something in the window which caught her fancy he insisted that the clerk would instant ly class his voice as American or his clothes or something and it was all so tiresome Why dont you use that wonderful stage English accent of yours and fool the man suggested the clever wife The idea was a good one and Mr Skinner smiled and went in confident ly asking with the rising inflection and true British casual manner the price of his wares Mrs Skinner was charmed with the art of performance This ere one sir asked the shopkeeper Well sir hit sells for four shillings sir which is habout one dollar in your money sir Underpaid Jaxon Why do

will doubtless understand how the suffering with indigestion with which I used to be troubled made my work an almost unendurable burron and why it was that after my Sabbath dus had been performed sleep was a stranger to my pillow till nearly day light I had to be very careful as to wha I ate and even with all my care I ex perienced poignant physical distress after meals and my food never satis fied me Six months have elapsed since I began to use Grape Nuts food and the benefits I have derived from it are very definite I no longer suffer from Indigestion and I began to improve from the time Grape Nuts appeared on our table I find that by eating a dish of it after my Sabbath work Is done and I always do so now my nerves are quieted and rest and refreshing sleep are ensured me I feel that I could not possibly do without Grar Nuts food now that I know its vau It is invariably on our table we f that we need it to complete the meil and our children will eat when they cannot be per uai to
