CHAPTER III.
AN EvENTFUL VOYAGE.

AN EN NO1AGE
The last stroke of l2 was just boom
ing out on the muggy night when !
stepped on to the landing stage to await
my mysterious employer. The hotel
servant who had carried my bag put it
down and, having received his gratuity,
left me-
Suddenly the patter of naked feet be-
hind me caught my ear. A Chinese
chair borne by two stalwart bearers
was approaching Very naturally set
tied it in my own mind that it con-
tanned the man whom I was to meet
and turned to receive him. But when
the conveyance was set down it was not

before who stepped out of it, but port
ly Chinaman Of considerable rank and
dignity He was gorgeously clad in fig
ured silk. His pigtail reached half way
to his heels and was adorned with much
ornamentation, and noticed that he
wore large tortoise she'll speotacles
which, while they completely hid his
eyes, gave curious effect to his other.
wise not unbandsome countenance.
Having descended from his equipage,
he dismissed his bearers and began to
stump solemnly up and down the land
ing stage, drawing closer and closer to
me at every turn. Presently he sum-
moned up courage enough to accost me.
To my surprise he said:
"What for you come here one piece

fell to work. The great sails were
hoisted, hand went aft to the tiller
and within five minutes we were wad-

might possibly have been four knots an

not addressed me once. His whole at.

Talking IL Over.

these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
IN life. If little of the prudery of mod
ern society were banished, so that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health is the best endowment that
a human being can have. Good general
health among women Is largely dependent
upon good local health In a woInanly way.
Through iguorance and neglect 1t has be-
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance This is a mis-
take. All troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examination"
and local treatment " insisted upon by
the average physician. Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vor1te Prescription gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs
concerned. 1t allays Inflammation, heals
liberation and frees from pain. It tones
the nerves and builds up the nerve centers.
1t makes woman healthy and strong, and
thus prepares her for healthy w1tehood,
capable motherhood and a safe transition
at the change of life.
'I want to testify to the great benefit derived
from using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, "
writes Mrs. II. Mason, of Strykersvlle, Wyo-
three months before confinement. With my
former confinement suffered greatly, while this
one was comparatively easy, owing to the use
