SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank TO Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. NJ. RANK, No. 2,354
East Susquehanna Ave-, Philadelphia,
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter encouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any Improvement. At times
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, l felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. 1 can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was so depressed in spirits
that 1 did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, I thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
Il continued this way until the last
of February, when l saw in a paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. 1 determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
well woman, and can say from my
heart, THANK God for such a medi.
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

here"
Sir Raoul looked at the earls bag
gard face.
Poor boy" he said; sit Is rather
hard for you, certainly. l promise
you that l will mention neither Lady
Hamilton nor the poachers."
"Poachers" replied the earl, con-
temptuously. Surely you-" He
paused; he had been on the brink of
betraying the secret that he had sworn
never to reveal.
Sir Raoul laughed.
1T seems to me-" he said, that you
are just as bad as any one else. You
cannot keep away from the topic"

thing" proposed the EARL and then he
added: THAT reminds me-some YER

sensational affair Of it."
II thought we were to avoid the
topic" said Sir Raoul quietly. Now
you have touched upon it again."
And to make matters worse" re-
marked the earl, with a gesture OF
weary despair, here comes the doc
ter"
DR.. Randall entered the room unan-
nounced and in great haste.
The earl sprang to his feet at the
sound of his agitated voice, his face
growing pale and anxious.

not worse?'

thought it trivial amidst the excite

and II flashed across him that the wife
he had neglected and despised was.
Notwithstanding what she had done,
one Of the noblest women in the world.
II 1t had but been different: II he had
but thought more of her before this
happened How she must have loved
him to let herself drift into such a
crime! Was there any one who had
ever loved him half so well?
II wish 1t had never happened" he
said to himself. she is a noble wom-
an in spite of all, and well, l could
have loved her, but now she must new
er return"
Yet it showed how strongly his feel
ings were swayed when he thought far
less of wounded Lady Hamilton than
of the fact that his wife loved him.
He could not sleep or rest. Never
had his pillow seemed SO hard his
thoughts so troublesome. The excite
ment had been too much for him.
Wherever he went, whatever he did,
his thoughts were with Hildred. Had
she reached Arley Ransomes house?
Had he acted wisely in letting her go
alone? Would any clew to her guilt
ever be found? These questions fol-
lowed him, haunted him, pursued him.
If he went to talk to any of his visitors,
the conversation was sure to turn up
on the poachers and Lady Hamilton.
Wearied of it all he sought refuge
with Sir Raoul in his room; and the
old soldier noted with concern how
worn and haggard the handsome earl
looked

She looked up at him proudly
"You must not interfere, papa l
shall never return to him now!'
He looked pityingly at the whlte
face.
You appear very i'll, Hildred. is
there nothing that l can do for you
Nothing" she replied, coldly. In
her heart she felt bitterly angry with
her father. She had trusted him; ne
had misled her. She did not offer to
kiss him or to touch his hand, but went
quietly out Of the room and upstairs
leaving him with some very unpleas-
ant thoughts.
It had not been an agreeable inter
ruption to his breakfast, but he tried
to think little of it. 1t was only
quarrel, after all, and his daughter had
done nothing wrong. He should make
1t all right in a few seconds wheh ne
saw the earl. He wrote to him DeloIe
he went to the city, telling him that ms
wife had reached home safely, but was
looking very i'll.
The rest of that day Hildred remain
ed in her room, and on the morning
following she did not come downstairs
1t was afternoon when Arley Ransome'
with a face as pale as death, asked Tor
admittance to her apartment. she
babe him enter, and he did so, with
an open letter in his hand. 1t was her
husbands writing, she perceived.
"You have deceived me" said her
father, sternly; you told me that you
had hidden nothing from me. Your
husband tells me that he has hidden
you here because you shot Lady Ham
ilton on the evening of the thirty-hrst
shot her with intent to murder, and
that you confessed your guilt"
Without a word or a murmur she
looked at him, and then fell like one
dead at his feet.
