sake Of contrast. apparently. and the Westmore-
land landscape is also made TO play its part.
But neither landscape nor peasant has the
SAVIOR OF nature. The central figures are, if any
thing. worse. Helbeck is lay figure talking
theology in season and out Of season. When he
has moments naturalness, and would discuss
other things Laura filings the subject in his face.
Neither OF the two discovers to the reader any
persuasive traits. Helbeck grows drier and
dr1er, proser and proser, the tale drags its
slow length along. and this is not merely be-
cause theological conversation is apt to pail in
novel, but because his piety has squeezed out OF
him all the natural Juices of veritable charac-
ter. Laura, whom might be willing TO accept
az an impulsive. hot-tempered and crudey in
structed girl. conceding that the charm attrb-
uted to her is compatible with such qualities be-
comes illogical and impossible when she behaves
with mingled boorishness and stupidity In
truth she is drawn with the same uncertainty
that is noticeable in the portrait Of Helbeck and
between them they create air Of intolerable
axtifoiality and dulness.
What is all this the result Of II not mis-
guided return Of the author to her first love, TO
her strenuous dialectics? Her inspiration has
tagged. She feels, perhaps, that a new novel is
expected from her pen. She has creative
power left, but her interest In religion, In eco
nornics, In all sociological questions is still in
tense. She devises a few puppets and sets them
to talking. But they prove to be her undoing,

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured OF
Dyspepsia Aner Suffering for
TwsnIy.five Years.

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels. an estlmable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty-five years a suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, and her COM
plete restoration to health is so re-
markable that we present the facts in
the case for the benefit of our readers
many of WHOM have doubtless suffered
in the same manner and WILL therefore,
be interested In learning how all stom-
ach troubles may be avoided and cured.
Mrs. Skeels says: ! used only one pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
l received such great and unexpected
benefit that l wish to express my sim
cere gratitude. In fact 1t has been six
months since took the medicine and
l have not had one particle of distress
or difficulty since. And all this in the
face of the fact that the best doctors
consulted told me my case was incur
able as l had suffered for twenty-five
years. 1 want half a dozen packages
to distribute among my friends here
who are very anxious to try this REM
edy, Truly yours,
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels.
The reason why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
| digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because
nothing is claimed for it except what it
will actually perform. 1t is not a cure
all and no such claims are made for it.
| 1t is prepared for the sole purpose of
| curing Dyspepsia and the various
! forms of Indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
! made but what is claimed to cure dys-
| pesia as we'll as a hundred other
! troubles. When as a matter of fact a
remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be pre-
! pared especially for that and nothing
else; and among all the rememdies,
patent nostrums, bitters, etc, so eX-
tensively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
and nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co., of Marshall.
Mich, and for sale by all druggists at
80 cents per package, and if you suffer
from any form of stomach derange-
| ment or indigestion a trial will not dis
appoint you.
