CATARRH Or STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple. but Safe and Eff
foctual Cure, for 1t.

foctual Cure for 1t.
Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual gym ..toms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating
accompanied sometimes with eour OF
watery risings, formation Of gases,
causing pressure on the heart anc
lungs and difficult breathing; head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and general played out, languid
feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the int
rlor of the stomach could be seen
it wonld show simy, infiamed con-
dition.
The cure of this common and OBJ
stnate trouble is fonnd in treat
ment which causes the fnud to be
readily. thoroughly digested before it
has time to ferment aud irritate the
delicate muruous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing TO do and when normal dige =
ton is secured the catarrhal coudi.
ton will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
Safest and best Ireatme mt is to use af-
ter each meal a tablet, composed of
Diatase, Aseptic P..psin, a little Nuy.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of S,uar,'s
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
pat ent medicine can he used with
perfect safely and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough dige4-
tlou will follow their regular use after
| meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher OF 27lO Dearborn
ST., Chicago, H., writes: aCatarrh is
a local condition resulting from Il
neglected cold in the sad, whereby
the lining membrane of the nose be-
comes infiamed and the poisonous
discharge therefron passing back

stomach. Medical authorities pre-

CHAPTER Xxx.

1t is much easier to hide from the world
than anyone imagines who has not tried
1t. We are too apt to think ourselves of
far greater Importance than we are, and IL
we put it to the test we shall generally
find that. except to a small and strictly
private circle of admiring friends, 1t Is not
Of the slightest consequence what we do,
nor where we go.
Della Moray finds out the truth of this
TO her advantage. She had a thousand
scruples about accepting Mrs. Hephzi-
bah's offer of the temporary use Of her
apartments in London, fearing lest she
should be Immediately recognized, and
the news of her discovery be communi-
Gated to her son.
For the sake of Della, Mrs. Hephzibab
makes short work of settling up accounts
with her London employers. and in an
other week the friends are On their way

Of s~elf-help, Mrs. Bond-for the lawyer

call upon Mr.. and Mrs. Bond. At Delia's
earnest request she is not asked to be
present in the drawing room during these
visits of ceremony. She has several rea-
sons for not wishing to make any new
acquaintance, foremost among which is
the dread of recognition; and though Mrs.
Hephzibah will not admit the justice of
the fear, she agrees to indulge it.
Della Is therefore rather surprised one
afternoon, when she has retired to her
own room with a novel, to hear the parlor
maid at her door with a request from her
mistress that she will go down to the
rawing room to see a gentleman who has

And thereupon she leads him into the

ears.

consolation at first in the society of his
bride, but as years pass on, and troubles
come upon him, his heart and memory
will turn back to his mother, and he will
not be satisfied until he has met her
again."
He saunters out upon the lawn again,
where Della, having dried her eyes, feel.
bound after awhile to join him.
"Mrs. Manners, I have a favor to ask OF
you," he commences, as soon as the oppor.
tunity offers.
"What is it, Mr.. LIE Mesurier"
"Will you help me in my parish work.
I have often longed for a woman to co.

eyes and his wits as he journeyed through
the world. The ladies are delighted with
his conversation and charm of delivery.
The hours pass rapidly in his company.
and before he takes his leave Mrs. Heph-
zlbah has made him promise to dine with
them on the following day.
HE Ia the very man l want to avoid"
cries Della when he is gone. There is
something in him-I cannot tell you what

ta1nmeEt now, for an enthusiast has as
much pleasure in performing herself as in
listening to the performance of others;
but false shame restraints her, and she
keeps upstairs until she hears the final
good-nights exchanged and watches Mr..
lie Mesurier's tall figure walk down the
gravel drive and turn with a parting look
at the cottage, in the direction of his own
house.
But the next day Mr.. LIE Mesurier is
not backward in awaiting himself of the
general invitation which Mrs. Hephzibah
stops her pony chaise in order to extend
to him.
Della is seated by her side, and Mr.. LIE
Mesurier glances to see if she seconds the
offer of her friend. But she is looking
away from him over the surrounding
country the while, and does not perceive
the action. He accepts the invitation with
alacrity, and takes advantage of it on the
very next day, and several days following
that; but though he enjoys many inter-
esting conversations with Mrs. Bond, he
finds it more difficult to get hold of her
companion, who always manages to slip
away just before or after he makes his
appearance. One day, however, Della is
fairly caught. The Bonds have gone out
driving together, and she is superintend-
ing the stripping of some fruit trees for
them, and cannot with honor leave the
field of action; when Mr.. LIE Mesurier,
with the familiarity which is becoming
habitual to him, walks through the open
French windows of the cottage drawing
room and out upon the lawn.
"How glad ] am that l have found you
at last, and that you cannot run away
from me-" he commences, as he perceives
her occupation. you have been so peril
nacious in avoiding my society lately that
l had really begun to think that l had
offended YOU"
"Oh, nor replies Della, with the old
feeling of discomfort she cannot tell why,
at the first glance of his searching eyes;
''how could you possibly have done that?
But you must not forget that l am only
Mrs. Bonds h~ousekeeper, and have a hun
dred little domestic duties to perform that

intimate companion Of the greatest lady In

CHAPTER XXI.

On the following day the parson Is de-
cidedly the most vexed of the three at De-
las absence, although he is too polite to
show 1t except by his anxious and some
what wandering air. The little dinner is
skillfully chosen and served, and his host
and hostess are cordially Itself; still MIR.
LIE Mesurier's eyes keep rowing each time
the door Is opened, and his ears are strain
ed to catch the least oun from without.
At last he ventures to hint at the subject
that is disturbing him.

"She Ia quite well, Mr., LIE Mesurier;
that Ia, she is the same as usual, but her
health does not permit her to take late
dinners"
"Then I trust the pleasure Is only de-
ferred, and that we shall see her in the
evening"
Mrs. Hephzibah does not reply. She be-
lieves that Delia has no intention of APP
pearing at all. Her visitor continues:

1t was to me to meet a country woman in
her. Her features remind me strongly OF

Della is afraid to meet the stranger
again. She sits at her open window and
listens to the ballads that, after the little
party has come in from the garden, Mr..
lie Mesurier trolls out in his rich baritone
voice, accompanying himself on the cot.
tage piano the while.
Della is very fond of music. She is Isot
a great proficient, but she is a great lover
of the art, and sings her own little songs
with a verve that has more power TO
charm than the finest execution In =
