written her an angry letter. In reply,
next morning she sent long letter

love for anyone beside myself, and
that l had entirely misconstrued her

Few bodily Affections are more terrible
than heart disease. To live in constant
dread and expectation Of death, sudden,
instant death, with last farewells unspoken,
ia for most people more awful to contem-
plate than the most severe lingering illness.
The slightest excitement brings great
suffering and danger to people so afflicted.
Sach was the experience Of the wife OF
a well-known clergyman. She tells her
story for the sake Of doing good to others.
"IfseL" she said, speaking carefully and
weighing her words, "that DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People relieved me Of a
lifetime Of sickness and sorrow, and / cheer
fully recommend them."
This grateful woman is Mrs. Wamsley,
wife Of the Rev. c. E. Wamsley, who lives
on West Sheridan Street, Greensburg, Ind.
she continued:
"My heart became affected after the birth
Of my youngest child, about six years ago.
"The pain was constant. Frequently It
grew so severe would be forced to cry out.

"Different doctors were called in. They
said had neuralgia Of the heart, resulting
from nervous prostration.

"The doctors treated me, but the relief
they gave did not last
~ was physical wreck, when my eye
fell on an item in the local paper describing
how Mrs. Evans, Of West End, had been
cured by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Her suffering was like mine.
81 hope other sufferers who read this
account will have the faith had when l
read Of Mrs. Evans.
"My husband bought me one box OF the
pills. The change they made in my con-
dition was encouraging. ! took another
box; then bought six more boxes.
"All the time gained in health, strength,
hope, nerve force steadily, surelyl
"Before finished the eighth box ceased
the treatment. felt perfectly well, and the
doctor said was entirely cured"
To add weight to her story Mrs. Wamc-
lev made affidavit to its truth tefore Johl
F.Russell, Notary Public Of GreensburC.
Neuralgia Of the heart is only one ct
many serious evils that grow out OF derangc-
ments Of the nervous system or OF the blooo.
The remedy that expels impurities from
the blood and supplies the necessary mater
ials for rapidly rebuilding wasted nerve It's
suesreaches the root Of many serious diseases.
1t is these virtues that have given DE-.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People the'r
wonderful curative powers in diseases tkot
at first glance seem widely different.
This famous remedy is for sale by all
druggists for SO cents box; or SIX boxes
for $3.50.

stead of spending his money, as most
young men of his age would have done,
he invested 1t, and now lived a care
less, indolent existence, travelling
where he pleased, and getting as much
enjoyment out of life as was possible.
He was about my own age-twenty-

On my return to the Foreign Office
the Earl had, found, just come in,
and l handed him the secret document
which some day, sooner or later,
would control the destiny Of an en-

thoughtfully, then, smiling, she added:
perhaps l am foolish to regret that
this terrible affair has occurred at my

intimate friend, should do what 1 can

CHAPTER III.
A BODY BY THE ROADSIDE.

When, couple of hours later, we
entered Mrs. Laing's garden the first
person we encountered was the man |
hated-Andrew Beck-in his ill-ftting
dress clothes and broad crumpled
shirt front, with its great diamond
solitaire, lounging in wicker chair
at the rivers bank, smoking, and in
solitude enjoying the glorious sunset
that, rejecting upon the water, trans
formed it into a stream of ripping
gold.
While Dudley spoke to him I con-
trived to meet Ella, but she begged
me to wait for an explanation.
/ How loved her!
| Hers was an oval face, perfect in
its symmetry, clear-cut and refined, a
/ trife pale perhaps, but from her eyes
4 Of that darkest blue that sometimes
sparkled into the brightness of a sap
phire. sometimes deepened into soft
est gray, like the sky on Summer
night, there shone an inner beauty in
dicative of purity of soul. Her gown
was of soft, clinging silk, of palest
heliotrope, that bore the unmistakable
stamp of Paris, while on her slim
wrist | noticed she wore the diamond
bangle l had given her six months
before
After dinner, when the moon had
risen, strolled with Ella through the
French windows and out upon the
lawn, eager to talk alone with her.
WELL" she said at length, when we
were seated in the shadow beneath one
of the high rustling elms. so you
want an explanation. What can

"You say that il knew all l would

do you mean?"
Exactly what wrote she answer

fierce fire burning in her eyes. "Yot

guely.

shearing $4,000 Sheep by Steam.
A force of expert operators did the
work of shearing the $4,000 sheep
penned in the yards of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad at
Montgomery, H., this season. The
shears used are operated by steam
power, and the lambs and sheep alike
are shorn at the rate of nearly a
thousand a day. The members of the
local Humane Society have protested
to President Shortall of the Illinois
Humane Society against the shearing
of the sheep in winter, and Mr.. Shcr-
tall to-day notified the shearers that
/. > would interfere in the matter as a
violation of the law relating to the
proper protection of animals from heat
or cold The sheep men claim that
the animals are kept in warm shed
after being shorn, and are there less
than a week before being shipped to
Chicago for slaughter. They also
point to the fact that the sheep fatten
more readily after losing their wool.
