he had setzed the vidl tn one hand ana
has aOife'S chin in the other
band and keep him from doing himself
a mischief. Sometimes he fingered a
moment over brown sunlit pool, and
she hurried with all her poor strength.
Sometimes he wound his way out of the
wood and threw himself down on the
steep brink of the river, where quick
motion, slipping foot, would end all,
and she hurried again to sink down
gently in the long grass and the nod
ding daisies beside him and lay her
hand on his arm and wonder in blind
way at the Indifference of sky and wa.
ter to her trouble. Then it was up
again and tramp away. She had no JOY
of the soft waning afternoon, whose
light she had many time before
thought like that which might shine
across the hills of heaven. She had not
seen the blaze of the sunset. She did
not feel the coming of the purple, dewy
dark nor hear the wild lamenting Of
the whippoorwills, and when near mid
night, in the hard, cold shining moon,
they reached their own door she had no
other sensation than that she must walk
on forever.
She lighted the lamp mechanically.
The fire in the stove was not all gone,
and the broth she had left in the oven
was still warm. The doctor had said,
she repeated to herself again, that he
must be made to eat. She poured him
out a bowlful, and he took it ravenous-
ly, while she drank cupful herself.
And he ate the custard pie she put be-
fore him with no idea what it was he
ate, his wide and burning eyes red, it
seemed, with the fire in his brain. If
only she could make him sleepl The
doctor had said sleep would be his sal
walton, but when she had offered him
any Of the anodynes it had simply
aroused his fury. She had hated to de-
oeive him, but there was no help for
Il. She slipped dose into the cocoa,
whose own slightly bitter taste disguis-
ed 1t. But just as he had taken the last
Of the cocoa he saw her putting the vial
out of sight. Don't you come near me
with that poison stuff" he shouted.
"I'll pour it down your own throat eff
you do. Herel By king! I will any
wayW And with stride he had seized
the vial in one hand and his wife's chin
in this other, and in a minute the whole
bottleful and death with it would
have been her portion, for she could not
escape the terrific grasp, she could only
lift her hand and lay it ON his shoulder
in the way of an old caress. A shiver
ran through him. He trembled at the
touch. The vial slipped to the floor.
Here" he cried. "Ain't You the wo-
man / sold to Tom Brier once? What in
nation you here for anyhow? Git out
OF this, neck and crop" And he lifted
her as IL she had been leaf and sent
her flying through the door. Then he

FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy to Keep Well If We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really a simple matter if we take cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has such a record Of cures as Hood
Sarsaparilla and it is because 1t is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
are alivean well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.
