 sIt Is simplicity itself. Men witnesses may cleveily plan to deceive or mislead ; but native timiditY and uncertainty as to how men will look at thing can induce 3 woman, and even good woman to hold back important facts. Mrs Keith's statement, prefaced by pitiable account of the suffering her reservation has en- tailed flor it appears her business was wrecked and her reputation shadowed- was this: On her arrival at 1000 G. street, Miss Grinnell had appeared out ragged, angry and excited; installed in her apartment by Mrs Keith, she had utterly broken down, and confessed that she had just received intelligence of 8 mot shocking character. Her father, che said, to whom she had devoted her life, and at whose il stance she had dis. missed her lover. had secretly married their housekeeper, woman obnoxious to her in such relationship.

 Or Women

If you were offered sure aid in time of trouble would you put it aside and accept something of doubtful efficiency?
 II you saw before you strong and sa1e bridge leading to your goal, would you ignore it to try some insecure and tottering structure ,-- The answer to these questions is plain. You would, of course. choose without hesitation what all evidence showed to be the safe thing, and you would risk nothing in useless experi- ments.
 ' Why, then, do some women risk one of their most precious possessions their heath-in trying medicines of unknown value, which may even prove hurtful to them?
 Lydia. E, Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has stood the test of years. rIt has the largest sale of any remedy for female ills in the world, and nothing could have given it this sale except its own merit.
 . Do not try any experiments, but buy what is known to be reliable. Mrs. Pinkham's Compound can do all that is claimed for it, and all statements in regard to it can be easily verified. Write to Mrs. Pinkham atLynn, Mass. for a little book she has just published containing letters from the mayor of Lynn, the postmaster and others. s- E Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free of charge to all women who write to her for aid. This invitati is con- stantly renewed. A million women have been cured of serious female ills by Mrs. Pinifham' s advice and medicine.

daughter had fled the lodgings with 6 gentleman. Solely to quiet the young lady, Mrs Keith had accepted the money and given the required promise. She knew Miss Grinnen was not expected home till Saturday, and hoped in the in- terval, and after the young girls first fury had spent itself, to reason with her, and restore the money.
 Meanwhile, that Is, on Wednesday, & small mortgage on Mrs Keith's furniture fell due. Two of her perms nent dodgers hitherto prompt payers, owed her double the amount, and she had based her cal- culations on stheir payments; but now for some unknown reason, there was a delay. She had therefore solicited Miss Grinneil for the temporary loan. of the money already in her pos- session. Miss Grinnell replied: T have not changed my mind the money is yours, under the conditions agreed Thursday evening Mrs Keith, having been reimbursed by her debtors, was on her way to her room to count out Mics Grin- nelps portion, when she heard the pistol shot. Immediately associating it with the young girl, who had been much on her mind, she sped to Miss Grinnell's room, and, seeing the condition of the latter, hurried to the bell, picking up the letter which lay in her course, surmising it might be a com munication to herself, not having re- marked the envelope on the table. Her first impulse had been to reveal all she knew; but before she reached the bell came the thought of the money in her possessio in connection with the fact that she had been the first to approach the young girls person. That money would be missing; the story she mus, tell to account for it ss being in her pos. session would be doubted, even the bare fact of the mortgage would be against her. Before the confusion occssioned by her fears had subsided, Miss Linton ha6 appeared, and Mrs Keith had committed herself to the policy of silence"
 "And what will they do with herr"
 "Nothing, l should say. If MT Castor had not been convinced that her letter by confirming the report Miss Grinpel had heard, had determined her to suicide he would not have been at the pains tt coin that lie about the cutlery man, for of course, he had lsarned through tn, papers that his letter, or what he sup pose d to be his l,tter, had been burned AS to the mortgage on Mrs Keith's furDi tture, the books of the mortgagee COT f1rn her statement"
 "Did Mrs Keith say anything about thu pistol?"
 "Yes; she conceived that Miss Grin aell purchased it on her way to the Tod g inga, but still cherishing hopes the repor she had heard might prove uufounded had only used it after MT Gsston's lette had left no room for hope"
 "Well, having kept the secret for fou years, If had been Mrs Keith I shoult have kept 1t for life.''
 'Mrs Keith couldn't. She said sh hadn't the courage to destroy it, and sh believed misfortunes would pursue he just 80 long as she secretly preserved tn letter with the blot.''

It wanted 10 minutes of p. m. and my letter pouch was empty. With a. single letter, the very last of it's contents, in my hand, stood on the steps of 1000 G street. I recollect that, having pulled the door-bell, I was kept waiting, and this made me feel rather cross, for I had been delivering letters all day in fine but steady November rain, and despite my waterproof, felt thoroughly damp and chilled. The letter held grew moist, too, while I waited, and the envelope being of linen tissue paper, having turned face downward, I noticed what appeared to be blot on the upper fold of the pa- per within, which last, to my accustom- ed touch, was single sheet of note cor responding In texture with the envelope.
