The best medical writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal ca
tarrh must be non-irritating, easy of ap-
p!ication. and one that will by its own
action, reach all the remote sores and ul-
cersted surfaces. The history of the eff
forts to treat catsrrh during the past few
years obliges us to admit that only one
remedy has completely met these condi-
tons, aud that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
safe and pleasant remedy has mastered
catsrrh as nothing else has ever done, and
DO b physicians and patients freely con-
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it.

part with her child, reflects credi
upon her, and the unnatural parents
who wonld ask the sacrifice deserve
condemnation.
A beautiful aye, lovely woman,
came to Sedalia sbors time ago, with
her children by her side and claimed
the refuge of those who were of her
own blood, because, alas! her husband
had betrayed the trust she gave him,
broken the vows he had plighted to
her and in the hatefulest and mcst
disgraceful way had heaped upon her
the outrageous wrong of amOurs with
women whose very touch would have
been pollution to the pure, proud
wife. And yet, only few years ago.
this deserted and Inundated wife was
known as one of the most refined, the
most beautiful and charming girls in
all the counties of Missouri. When
the man who welded her and carried
her away with him to his home IN
another state, sigh of regret went up
from many hearts and those who had
seen themselves worsted in the race
for the beautiful brides love knew
the pangs OF envy in ali its bitterness.
In their de eat, however, she had not
been triumphant and amid the envy
there was a leaven of hope for her
perfect happiness and a tender prayer
that her fate would be one of unal-
Logged bliss. Could they have seen
her with the traces of tears dimming
the beautiful dark eyes, with her lips
all tremulous with the sobs which had
welled up from wounded heart, as
she returned like a broken winged
doye to her childhood's home, after
the lapse of only a few years, how
they would have sorrowed. Alas! for
the wife who has to bear such woe and
alasl for the man, who as God lives
will yet know the fearful doom which
goes with the transgressor and which
will force him to gaze into perdition,
hopeless, doomed and damned.

THE PROWLER

Few Little "PrOWIS."

l was Impressed with the following
by Frederick Myers concerning
George Elliott:
81 remember how once at Cam
bridge / walked with her in Fellows
garden of Trinity college on an even
ing of rainy May and she stirred
something beyond her wont, and TAX
as her text the three words which
have been used so often as the inspir-
ing trumpet call of men-God Immor-
tally, Duty-pronounced with terri
BILE earnestness, how inconceivable
was the first, how unbelievable was
the second, and yet how peremptory
and absolute the third. Never, per-
laps had sterner accents affirmed the
sovereignty of impersonal and uncom-
promising law. | listened and night
fell her grave, majestic countenance
turned toward me like a sybeYs in the
gloom; it was as though she withdrew
from my grasp. one by one, the two
scrolls of promise, and left me the
third scroll only, awful with inevita-
BILE fates.
The Prowler has had his attention
called to the number of boys ranging
from fourteen to eighteen who are to
be found either gathered in groupes at
the street corners after ten, eleven and
even after twelve o'clock at night; or
else visiting questionable places. While
the police are running in" the
disreputable females who are on the
the street after 8 o'clock, it would be
well if they would occasionally bestow
their attention to the young scalawags
alluded to. The "chappy" business
needs breaking up as well as the
"cbippy" business.
The Prowler hopes that the case of
a young woman, with a young child
BY her side and who was unfUr Innate
ly married to a "ne'er-do.welp and has
since separated from him, has not
many parallels in this city. Her par
ents are church people, yet because

Perhaps you may find yourself able
to answer another question:"
Flora seemed to give him consent by
an inquiring expression of face.
"You will perhaps remember" he con-
tinued, "that on the occasion of our pre-
vious interview in this house displayed
a diamond button had found that
morning at the place of murder"
Perfectly WELL"
"You seemed to recognize il then.
May ask to whom you thought it be-

partly vexed as well, "your display of
the button was trap laid for me?"

had seen similar one worn by Kendrick
Noble"
"Ahl''
He was very proud of it, as he had
inherited it from his grandfather, who
had received it from an Italian nobleman
in whose family it had been for many
generations 1t was given the grand
father in recognition of some great serv.
ice rendered. Concerning Mr.. Noble

do. He is but little more than an &C
quaintance, young gentleman of our
set"
"What earthly connection can he have
with the matter that puzzles me so?'
"That is for your astuteness to dis
cover" replied the lady, not without the
suspicion of sarcasm in her tones. 81
cannot help you in that matter"
At this point Holbrook rose to take his
leave, and as he did so Miss Ashgrove,
rising with him, said:
II fear an apology is due you. But
surely you will excuse woman seeking
to protect her secrets?"
Holbrook began to feel ashamed of
himself under the gentle dignity of her
apology, and felt it almost a rebuke; so
he replied
"The apologies should be mine for
having performed delicate task with
much awkwardness and little kindness"
Thus, with a better understanding
between them than had existed since
their first interview, and perhaps than
ever before, they parted after warm
grasp of the hand.

seeing and talking with him.
The truth is, he was much disturbed.
The bitter disappointment in finding that
he had not detected the murderer had
unsettled him. Beginning in doubt, he
had gradually gone on to full convic-
ton, and had discounted his triumph.
Now everything was astray. He had
never failed so before; he had never be-
fore been enticed so far upon false
scent
He began to fear he was losing his
cunning.
If the story were to become known,
how they would laugh at him at police
headquarters; what gleeful stories of his
defeat would his competitors have to
tell; he would be compelled to leave
town because of their jokes and laugh
ter; his prestige would be gone in the
office of The Sol; he was now conscious,
with feeling of self contempt, that he
had of late been assuming airs of supe-
riority among his fellows.
Then he consoled himself with the
thought that after all no one else had
made the progress in the affair that Hol-
brook and himself had made. Then he
recollected, with another wave of self
contempt, that when he thought triumph
was theirs he had attributed all to his
own efforts and shrewdness, and now in
failure he was quite willing to take Hol-
brook into partnership. After all, say
what might be said, the affair was deep,
intricate and mysterious, back of which
lay mass of facts which must be ascer-
tanned, arranged and digested.
Finally he said, with an inspiration of
hope:
''All is not lost yet, and my commits
sion has not been recalled"
BY that time he had reached the City
Hall park, with a view of hunting up
the Shadow and relieving him from duty
for time at least, or until he was want
ed again.
As he passed the city hall he saw the
old attorney, George Parker, descend
ing the steps.
There's the Shadows FRIEND" he
commented That old fellow is slosh-
ing around with a claim against Pier
sons estate, not knowing against what
momentous affairs he may be knocking
If there is anything crooked in his pro-
ceedings OH behalf of that driveling old
drunkard in Varick street, how he will
take to cover when we light the fuse-if
we ever do.
Tom chuckled; presently an idea struck
him.
"Tll give him an interview. Perhaps
I'll elicit something"
As the old man was about to pass,
Tom checked him.
"Good afternoon. Mr.. Parker, I've
