Healthy, happy children are those whose
mothers have been, and are, healthy. The
best intentioned woman in the world will
fall short of her duty to her children If she
Is worried and weaTied with weakness and
sickness. Most all irritable women are
sick women. Most all melancholy, istless,
languid women are sick women. Every
woman who will take the trouble to notice,
will find that at certain hxsd periods abe is
nervous, cross, irritable and despondeut.
ANY iuegulanty makes the conditions
worse Even a we'll woman is less amiable
than usual at these times. What can be
expected from a sick womanf
When every movement Is dreary drag,
when the nerves are all on edge in sym
pathy with the particular ones Affected
when II seems that death were very much
preferable to living-what can a woman do
FOR her children thenl
1t is every woman's duty to be we'll and
healthy There Is no reason why she
should be otherwise IL only she will take
proper care of herself and take DR. Pierce's
Fsvorite Prescription when she needs Il,
This celebrated remedy has been used in
the Iuvalids Hotel and Surgical Institute
at Buffalo, N ", of which DR.. Pierce Is
Chief Consulting Physician and specialist,

When one begins to argue with his
conscience it is foreordained conclu-
sion that conscience will get the worst
Of it. Lest Philip should be set down as
poor figure Of man, prone to do weak
things as are the sparks to fly upward,
let it be said that he did only what
seemed at the time to be good and
right. Love, or what passes for love, is
not always accountable to logic or to
common sense; it may, perhaps, be the
adopted child of the intellect, but it is
begotten and nur:ured by the senses
Propinquity. contact. daily association,
the fairness of one object and the near
ness of another, all these influences
were, in Thorndyke's case, opposed to
what was unconsciously becoming day
by day more of an abstraction-his
fealty to Helen. And, besides, when
one firmly believes he has made his

Half an hour after Elsie and Philip
had disappeared in the forest, Protheroe
rode up to the gate with packet of
letters for Thorndyke. When he
learned that the invalid and Elsie were
ON the mountain together, he seemed
quite as anxious to get away from the
farmhouse as he had just been to reach
it. On the way back to town he had
another impatient argument with him
self. coming out of it as on former oc-
casion, with a certain measure of philo-
sophical resignation, for which he paid
rather dearly in the coin of disappointed
hopes.

they cared much about that, and, any
way, they kept on till one time the
revenue officers raided the mountain.
At that time John Kilgrow was living
on little farm over yonder where YOU
see the old orchard, and for years he
had been in the habit of making a few
gallons of apple brandy from the apples
that he couldn't sell. I'm sure he never
thought he was doing wrong; and
father says he never sold any of the
brandy. though he used to give it away,
sometimes, to his neighbors. Besides
the place up here, he owned a farm in
the big valley, and that was rented out
to a man by the name of Gates.
Father says Gates always had a bad
name; he used to encourage the noun
taineers to make whisky, and then he
would help them sell it in the valley.
He was owing Mr.. Kilgrow two or
three years back rent at the timeso of
the raid, and to get out of paying he
told the deputy constable-or what
ever you call him-that Mr.. Kilgrow
made brandy, offering to show him the
house and the still.''

pardon-I didn't mean to be proiane

Gates did what he said he would
but he was sharp enough to see that
Mr.. Kilgrow might get clear if he was
taken, or that he himself might be ar
rested as witness; so he went to Mr.
kilgrow first and pretended to warn
him as a friend. Did you ever hear of
such mean thing?"

Gates had planned. The revenue men
surrounded the house, but Mr.. Kilgrow
got out of back window and ran. They
chased him clear away over to the other
side OF the mountain, shooting at him
every time they caught sight of him,
and soaring the poor old man so that
he left the country and never did come
back till this spring. And now. as 1
say. he's afraid of everybody. except

That's what makes it so bad. When
he was sure that Mr. Kilgrow had left
the country he told it around that he
had bought the farm in the valley; and

ON THE STAIR.

Tho the skies are dark and lowering,
And the tempest bowls in wrath,
And the rains incessant pouring
Scatters puddles in my path.
Yet see the sunshine breaking,
And bid adieu to care
For the sweetest picture making,
Mabefs standing on the STAIR
Half way down she runs to greet me,
Just emerging from the gloom.
For she's always sure to meetme
Ere I've reached our cozy room,
AS my homeward way I'm vending,
She is waiting. debonair,
Till / see, the darkness rending,
Mabel's figure on the stair
Kisses warm and fond embraces
Are the dearest things of life,
And I'm sure the tabled Graces
Have combined to make my wife,
But with all her other beauties
She has formed habit rare,
Adding to her list of duties
Meeting me upon the STAIR
When l end my earthly journeys
And am on the road for home.
Done with life and all it's Journeys,
Destined nevermore to roam,
Oh, St. Peter, hear mortal,
Listen to my earnest prayer,
Place my Mabel at the portal,
Standing on the Golden Stair
Ed l.. Sabin. in Chicago Inter Ocean.
