Nervous Prostration
THE REVIvIFYING EFFECTS OF A PROPER
NERVE FOOD DEMONSTRATED.
From the Era, Bradford, IA.

Several months ngo, Miss Cora Watrous,
the sixteen.year-old daughter Of Mr.. |. G..
WatrOus, n locomotive fireman, of 81 Clarion
Street, Bradford, Penna., was seized with q
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the ailment
was q loss Of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and COM
planned of q feeling of extreme lassitude.
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly crazed with n terrible headache and
nothing could be procured to give her relief.
Finally, after trying numerous remedies,
a. physician was called and began treating
the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided TO procure the services of
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased, the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
up hope of her recovery.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Watrous heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
lie found that the pills were highly recon-
mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them a trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was a marked improvement in the
girls condition. After half dozen boxes
had been used, the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-.
vious TO her illness.

chusotts, where re removes with his wife
and several of her relatives who have
come to live with him. The narrator of
the story falls in love with Emily Dyer, a
cousin OF Bertram, ehd while his suit is
unsuccessful, he retains his interest in
he, and decides to ask Betram to hep her
and the young man to whom she il en-
gagged. He receives a cold letter of re-
1usal from Bertram, and Emily becoming

and his motfer-in-law, Mrs. Graves, who
evades his efforts 20 see Bcrtram by
statements that the latter is away or has
returned unweil. Various suspicious cir
cumstances lead the narrator to believe
that Bertram is being kept prisoner for
some reason He pretends to return TO
New York, but approaches the house the
same night and listens at the window of Il
room that is kept closed. He hears one
groaning and making queer remarks.
Then the person leaves the room. The
narrator opens the window, and finds
the room vacant. He forces the door Of
the next room, and finds it occupied by
the father of Mrs. Graves, who takes him
for a burglar and seizes a musket from
the wall. The narrator leaves the house
in haste.

n course that led through a thick grove
of spruce and fir trees whose green
wall completely shut off the house
from observation on the north. / had
forced my way about two hundred
yards through this thicket when / be-
came aware of q little clearing in the
midst of 1t. The sun had climbed up
so high that It's rays struck through
the tops of the trees and glinted upon
something white, in the open: and II
was this which first attracted my at
tention. Immediately / perceived that
the clearing was a burial ground, and
] remembered that the Peters family
which for a century or more had in
habited the estate, had been so far
from village that they would hardly
have borne their dead to a churchyard.
1t Is not uncommon in rural New Eng
land to see the monuments Of the dead
almost under the windows of the liv-
ing. Usually they are not placed in
so retired a spot upon the estate as
was here the case, but can be seen
from tn Travelled road.
The flash of the white stone attract
cd me sufficiently to make me turn

I should have feared discovery; and
therefore my surprise was great when,
upon forcing my way between two
masses of green boughs, 1 suddenly
perceived a woman standing beside
one of the graves. In moment / rec
ognized Mrs. Dyer. She held some
flowers in her hands--I had noticed
that she cultivated a great many in
the house--and as l watched her, she
bent down and placed her offering care
fully upon the low mound at her feet
Then she knelt down for q moment.
Instinctively 1 bowed my head; and
when L raised my eyes again, she was
just slipping away into the grove on
the other side of the clearing.
Sc great was my surprise at this en-
counter that, though it was just what
I had wished for, failed to take ad-
vantage Of t.. She was gone before
could command my voice and call to
her.
Yet 1 had learned all that I could
wish to know. A strong wave of grief
| passed over me. So genuine was my
sorrow that / took no note of the
strange complications and contradic-
tions that were involved in the discov-

A small and plain slab was erected

PART III.
THE TREATY OF DYERs FARM.


1 passed the remainder of the night
in a barn belonging to one of Dyer's
neighbors, for it seemed unwise to re-
main upon his estate. Grandfather
Graves was evidently q. man of action
despite his advanced years, and had
no desire to encounter him again, ex-
cept upon the most conventional terms.
His musket shot must have aroused
the household; indeed, from a lurking
place among the trees, l saw lights
flash at many of the windows; but
there was no Indication that a search
was being made for me outside the
house. Whether he had recognized me,
or had mistaken me for a burglar of
the ordinary sort, was matter to
which devoted considerable thought
without reaching any conclusion, as
lay upon my scented couch of hay in
the hospitable barn.
I breakfasted at the farmhouse, and
then set out upon another reconnois-
sance in the direction of my friends
abode 1t was my hope to encounter
Mrs. Dyer at such distance from the
house as would enable me to talk with
her unmolested by her formidable
mother or the prompt and irascible
Grandfather Graves. thought it prob
able that the events of the last twen-
ty-four hours might have shaken her
allegiance to the Graves faction so
much that she might be willing to
abandon whatever enterprise was on
foot. . ..
With this purpose in view I ap-
preached the "old Peters place" in as

had BiIl's Generous Proposition Was
Not Accented.

"Bad Bill' was n well-known char
aeter I'm the West, and there are many
stories told Of his exploits, but one Of
the best has never been printed, and
was related to @ Washington star re-
porter by a man who was present
when it occurred.
Great Bend, Kan. now one of the
best towns in the state, was at one
time about the worst. This was when
1t was a railroad terminus before
Dodge City was established,
A travelling evangelist went to Great
Bend and tried to start revival.
There Were a few Christians in town
end these all attended the first meet
ing, the only one of the unregenerate
present being Bad BILL" who took a
front seat. Everyone feared trouble
when he walked into the church. but
he sat quietly during the exhortation.
The evangelist requested all who
wanted to go to heaven to stand up
and every person present except Bill
arose When they were seated again
Bill got up, and, drawing two pistols,
ssid
You all say you want to go to

Al goood a chance as you'll ever have.
The first man that gets up I'll give him
a ticket clean through, without any
stop-overs."
The evangelist crawled under a seat
and tie members of the congregation
laid on the chairs.
We'll" said Bill. "I see you wasn't
in earnest so Wen put out the lights
and call this meetin' adjourned" One
by one he shot out the lights and by
morning the evangelist was on his way
to Hutchinson, while the members of
the congregation kept quiet and made
no further attempts at holding a re-
vival.

writer, which has helped him a good
deal"
AT this moment I heard a peculiarly
hollow and mournful groan. Turning
quickly 1 perceived Clarence Graves,
who had softly stepped out upon the
veranda. His hair was in that disor-
der which seemed natural to 1t, and /
observed that a spot upon the right
side of his head was nearly bald. AS
my eye rested upon the spot, he rubbed

seemed to be habitual with him.

he cried out to Mrs. Graves. 81 wish

"Of course it was" he answered.

"Oh, that was nothing" he rejoined.

He ended the sentence with a groan

"Oh, please don't tell on us!" cried
Mrs. Dyer.
IF you do we shall all go to the

Graves.
DO not be alarmed" 1 hastened to
say. Far be it from me to interfere
with your commercial arrangements
AS l am in the business myself, it
would be distinctly unprofessional
otherwise, the case has no moral as
pect. l have never held it wrong to

ommend some additional precautions
and then shall say no more on that
matter. But there is a point upon

Is most deserving young woman,

You would recommend an allow

call it the Treaty Of Dyer's Farm
There is a stipulation that an affection
ate letter shall accompany each remit

terms of the agreement are being faith
fully fulfilled. Emily, of course, is not
in the secret. Indeed, she knows moth

artist soon, and may Providence make
him worthy of her.
l have not visited the farm again,

ana Bertram Dyers' name continues to
hold it's place. Some of his stories
| strike me as a bit mechanical, but per-
| haps If I did not know that Clarence
had worked in a machine shop should
| not remark 1t. After all, criticism is
so much affected by a knowledge of a
| writer's personality! 1t is very unfor-
tunate that writer's are not known
simply by numbers. Their portraits
and biographies might be kept at head
quarters, but they oughtn't to get into
the public prints. That is an offense
to Art, which 1 always write with a
copital letter.
.. THE END.
