Gl ~ Healthy mothers,
who are careful,
always have
healthy babies. Weak women sometimes
have healthy babies, but the chances are
against it. Every woman can have
healthy, happy children if she will ta"e
proper care Of herself. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
yorfte Prescription is what she needs. 1t
cures the weaknesses and diseases pecul-
lar to women. 1t makes perfect women
of them-women capable OF maternity.

him much good, I guess don't see
any objection to your talking with Nc
Caffrey, only must request that you
will not let anybody else know where
to find him until we get through with
him. The assistance of our well mean
ing young friends Of the press is not
desired just at present -
Mr.. Latham readily gave the desired
promise, and in return was supplied
with the address of the man he had SO
persistently and vainly sought.
Mr.. Michael McCaffrey's lack Of per-
sonal attractions was never more con-
spicuous than when John Latham found
him that night. His curiosity and alarm
had been wildly aroused by Kitty's re-
port of the extraordinary conditions pre-
vailing in and about the Willmarth
residence when she carried his letter
there, and he made it his business to
learn as soon as possible what had been
going on. /.
sect me mornin paper, Kitty,
dear" he cried eff there's any bad
luck, sure that's the likeliest place to
find out about it.
The first bold, black headline that
caught his eye when he nervously
clutched the paper astounded and terri
fed him Banker Willmarth Muir
eredr'
1t flashed upon him instantaneously
that his unlucky letter, having fallen
into the hands Of the police, would be
certain to provoke an inquiry into his
relations with the man now dead, and
how far suspicion might attach to him
as party concerned in the bankers un-
timely taking off he did not dare even
to conjecture. OF course that latter fear
had little ground, for the very fact of
his sending the letter was in itself an
evidence of the absence of guilty l1nowl- +.
edge from his mind, but he did not find
content in that reasoning. There was
much in his life that he did not want
exposed to the hazards of official ques-
ton, even in an incidental way.
"You never know what them divils
OF Lawyers VIII spring on ye," he WIZ
wont to say.
Perhaps the latter would be looked
upon as only shallow attempt to man..
ufacture circumstantial evidence for the
diverting Of justifiable suspicion from
him. More violent perversions of fact
had been known. He would have taken
to flight and disappeared for another IS
years if he had dared to make move,
but the instructive sense of the born
criminal warned him that he could only
prejudice his case by trying to get
away, as he would not be allowed to
escape.
Hour after hour he sat with his elbows
on the bare table, where he had waited
and cursed the night before, reading
and rereading the meager account Of the
horrifying deed which seemed to fasci-
nate his sight, taking frequent sips
from a black bottle at his elbow to keep
his courage up, and quaking at the
sound Of every football on the stairs out
side for fear it was the tread Of an off,
Ger. AT length, worn out and dizzy from
the spirits he had drunk, he threw him
self upon cot in an adjoining room
and slept. When John Latham entered,
they walked him up. and he came forth
touzled, grimy, red eyed and trembling.
In his demoralized condition the old
rogue was an easy prey for the astute
young lawyer, whose whole heart and
mental energies were enlisted in the
winning Of the case he had undertaken
"for love" Bad as the situation SEEM
ed to Mr.. Mccartney before, it was
worse now The last comforting assur-
ance the black.bottle had given him was
20 the effect That II rofted"u the wit
cess stand he might be able to lie out Of
his difficulty and continue to hide the
real nature Of the transaction between
Dick Willmarth and himself. But that
was beyond hope now, since the facts
were known to this particularly danger
ous looking representative Of the pro-
eession for which he had the liveliest
Tead. And John went at him merci-
lessly, threatening criminal prosecution
