THE CAPTAINS WIFE.
BY M. Quad.

as he placed skillet of bacon on the
winter-hut fireplace, "but I'll go as far

"of course it don't" said the second
sergeant as he put his coffee to boil,

"And we was ayin'," said the second
sergeant, as he lifted his eyes from
the coffee cup-'fwe was sayin' that it
wasn't discipline, and didn't look right.

I'll tell We whats goin' to happen

ed them, and there were three prisoners
instead of three guards.
Lord. sir: excuse me, sr: but Il was
the captains wife who did 1t ALI" said the
sergeant as he reported to the Colonel.
She not only saved her husband from Lib
by prison, but we might all have been
wiped out if we'd made a fight for it at
the old house"
That evening, as the second and third
sergeants ate their evening meals, the
third sergeant looked up and said:
well, amt mindin' other folks's biz

to say
Say, now" interrupted the second SER
geant "if it hadn't been fur your CAB the

You said as much as l did
You're a liar!
What ye mad about? Didn't we all

Didn't we all saw what? asked the or
orderly sergeant as he came into the hut
Didn't we all say that a woman hadn't
no bizness down here, and that the Cap
tain's wife would bust the company all to
smash?"
Look here, you fellers!" replied the SER
geant in menacing tones you want TO

escort were ready for the ride back
when there came sudden alarm.
Half a mile down the road, where Cap
tain Shattuck and his wife had de-
bauched from a cross road while tax
ing an afternoon gallop, they had run
full tilt against Confederate cavalry
scout The enemy had shouted to the
captain to surrender, and as he wheel
ed his horse to get away a bullet
brought him out of the saddle. His
wife would have pulled up her steed,
but he took the bit in his mouth and
was beyond control. AS she went fly
ing up the road the scouting party fol-
lowed. They knew of the small de-
tachment of Federals at the bridge,
and were hoping to make a surprise.
'.It's the Captains wife, and the
Johnnies are close behind her. Shout
ed the sergeant as the woman came
,, into view with a great clatter. open
ranks and let her through and then
close up and give 'em hail Columbia"
With a rush and a chatter the horse
Of the fugitive passed the blue clad
troopers, but came to dead halt
few rods beyond and turned about. A
volley from the carbines checked the
pursuers for the moment, but it was
seen that they were strong enough to
T. hn nj
the order to fall back to an abandoned
log house a quarter of mile in the
rear.
"Men!" exclaimed the woman, as she
looked from man to man, do you know
that your Captain is back there,
wounded and a prisoner Are you go
ing to leave him there?"
Its too bad, ma am, but they are
three to one" replied the sergeant.
We'll be lucky if we amt killed or
gobbled up before help comes
'But I'm going to ride back" she
cried, as her pale face flushed and her
voice had thrill in it. "If you won't
go with me to rescue your Captain I'll
let them take me prisoner and go to
Richmond with mimi"
"God but she's brave one!" whis-
pered man to man.
"God Ma'am!" hoarsely whispered
the sergeant, with admiration in his
eyes, "but we'll have the captain or
die! How far down the road was it,"
Not over half a mile"
"And how many rebs. in the party?"
Not over fifty"
Fifty rebs. and ten of us! Well
never do it, but We'll die for the cap
tain Into yer saddles, boys! Yell
ride ON towards camp with the en-
gineer, ma'am."
Not foot! I'm going with you!
Some one give me a revolver!'
"By twos-right wheel" shouted the
sergeant as he handed her his navy and
drew his sabre. "Now, then, ride
through or over them and don't stop
this side of the Captain or hell"
1T was a curious spectacle the gray
clad soldiers witnessed-a woman riding
at the head of the charging squadron-a
woman with white face and glittering
eyes, who held her reins in one hand and !
used the pistol with deadly effect with /
the other Through the thick of them she !
went and through the thick of them fol- !
lowed the ten, and fearing that the alarm !
might have already reached the Federal
camps the Confederates disappeared into /
the woods instead of pursuing. Down
there beyond the bridge the captain was
lying on the ground with a bullet in his |
shoulder and three men guarding him. The
calvacade swept up to them and surround !

The Crime Of Motherhood.

Can motherhood be crime under any circum-
stances? Nature says Yves" BY the sight of
the thousand mothers living in daily suffering; by
the cries of the thousand children wailing in daily
misery, motherhood can be crime against Nature.
Nature never permits ignorance of her laws to
excuse guilt or mitigate punishment. The father
eats sour grapes and the children teeth set
edge" The mother enters on maternal duties she is
unfit to discharge and is punished in her suffer-
ing and the weakness Of her child. The greatest
endowment any mother can give her child is sound
healthy body Every mother owes her child that
body It is a bitter thing for the tender mother
heart to feel responsibility for the shipwreck Of
childs life, too weak to do battle with the gales
which sweep across life's sea. The mother cannot
give the child what she herself does not possess.
The first step toward happy motherhood is health.
But how can a
woman be healthy -
at will? Let XAA

! Drid fruits of various kinds should
be freely used throughout the winter
when fresh fruit is scarce. All varie-
ties need to be carefully picked over
and washed through several waters,
| then soaked in fresh cold water for
at least twenty-four hours; indeed.
| thirty-six hours is none too long in
some cases. If after this they are
! cooked very slowly in a double boiler
and sugar added just before taking
them from the fire, they will be ten
der, juicy and altogether different
from the same fruit rapidly cooked
after little or no soaking.
Bread for sandwiches should be at
least day old. Cut about one-quarter
of an inch thick and remove the crusts,
rounds or hearts from the bread with
cookie cutters. The butter should be
warm enough to spread smoothly. The
crusts and cutting should be utilized
for crumbs for croquettes, etc., by
placing them in large dripping pan
in the oven and slowly bringing to a
golden brown, when they may be roll
ed fine and put into a closed fruit jar
ready for use when needed.
To have any variety of sandwich the
most satisfactory, the meat or nuts for
filling should be made very fine In
serving they may be made attractive
cut in fancy shapes from both white
and graham bread, and the two varie-
ties in color piled neatly on the same
fancy plate. Olives or small cucumber
pickles are always desirable served
with them.
A variety of sandwiches can be pre-
pared from the fancy cream cheese.
Egg Sandwiches.
Boil fresh laid eggs five minutes.
Shell them while warm and place them
in bowl with a good-sized piece of
butter, some salt and pepper. Mash
them as fine as possible with a silver
fork. When well-seasoned paste has
been formed in this way spread on
bread buttered or not as preferred.
Use graham or whole wheat bread
for this filling. Chop English walnuts

II take pleasure in in

of a boyin perfect health,
on May 18th. 1899, writes
Mrs. L. E. Corti, of Wal
tonville, Pa, Box rs. IT
cannot find words sufi-
GENTLY strong to express
to you my thanks, for
my delivery was almost
without pain, and when
my husband arrived with
the doctor the child was
already born. The
neighbors who were
VITA nae, and my hus-
band aud the doctor
could not believe their
eyes. Having suffered
so much before / never
believed myself able to
be delivered of a living
child. I tell everybody
this happy event was
due to the help of God
and of your medicines.
Our hearts are full of
gratitude to you for your
medicines, which have
given US the happiness
of having a living child
of our own, after so
much suffering and dis
appointment.
I recommend Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription to all young
women who are in the
same condition that I
was in as one of the
best remedies in exist
ence. / have used eight
bottles and find myself
in perfect health. Ac-

your welfare to the end

Nothing else could speak so emphatically in
praise of DIR. Pierces Favorite Prescription, as
do these testimonials of weak women made
strong and sick women made well. II seems
to some women well nigh miraculous, that after
years of suffering and the failure of all medi-
cnes and doctors to give relief, they find per-
feet and permanent cure in wFavorite Prescrip-
tom But from the medical standpoint the
wonder would be if vFavorite Prescription
failed to cure. It is made to cure as sewing
machine is made to sew, and, it does perfectly
what it was made to do. 1t is not a wcure-

ailments peculiar to woman 1t regulates the peri

nation and liberation and cures female
weakness. 1t invigorates the wonanly
organs, increases woman1y vigor and
strengthens the nerves Thus with those

natal period is passed in peace and comfort,
the birth hour passes with scarcely any
pain, and the mother is made happy by
