The Approaching Dinner Hour

Is fraught with no pleasant anticipa-
tlons for the unhappy mortal plagued
with dyspepsia. Appetite seldom,
discomfort after and between meals,
always is his portion. HEARTBURN
and 1atulence subsequent to eating,
gnawing at the pit of the stomach be-
fore it, are only few among the
woes arising from this truly impish
complaint. Sick headache, nervous
ness, constipation and biliousness are
its diabolical offspring. Each and all
of them are annihilated by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which tones the
gastric organs and regulates the liver
and the bowels with certainty and
promptitude. Chills%and fever, kid
ney trouble, rheumatism and neural
gia are also remedied by this med
icine of rare purity and comprehensive
uses. Invalids of all kinds are greatly
and swiftly benefited by it.

Good looks are more than skin

you have dyspeptic look and if your

will have good looks. Electric Bit

The Development of Pants.

While there have been many changes
in the styles of coats and waistcoats,
trousers have come down to the present
not greatly changed. Diodorus Siculus
says of the Belize Gauls that "they wore
close trousers, which they called brac-
cae." The Roman invasion brought bare
legs to Britain, and the braccae of the
Gauls were discarded for the new order
of things. When the Romans took leave
and were succeeded by the Saxon, the
braccae was compromised by style Of
short drawers reaching half way down
the thigh and stockings coming up to
meet them. The drawers were called
breech or hose.

The charm that lies in story some

Who was she? I determined to see.

Gus room, oriental i'll style. It showed
that al artistic taste had selected the odd

a deep divan covered with rugs and

pillows. Above it hung a piece of

mating and odd antique rugs covered
the floor. On the walls were many choice
water colors. But just above the piano
were some pictures that interested me
more-the original pen and ink sketches
of 1.-The Kiss of Gold," daintily framed
in white, and also an original drawing
of Miss Jordan's heroine in her other
strong dramatic story, "The Other
House."
A very pretty violet eyed girl ina blue
morning gown came in to see me.
"You want to speak to my sister," she
asked. "She writes ina room at the top
of the house, just as far away as she can
get from all of us, and if you won't mind
going up two pairs of stairs I'll take you
to her."

Our knock interrupted the soft hum

i'll. Miss Jordan was sitting at the win
dow before long oak writing table, on
which was heaped a chaos of papers of
almost every color.

something of inexplicable triumph in

A groan of agony came with the words.
His eyes looked past the amazed and
startled group to the open doorway.
Was Virginia's gray, drawn face as he
had seen it in his dream still before his
fancy? He looked again. Then he saw
she was really upon the threshold, her
eyes mirroring the pity and horror her
trembling lips could not speak. She had

happiness. 1t was for him her gaze tried
to pierce the deep gloom, for him-poor
wanderer-the light burned brightly in
her window, as if she knew, who knew
