She slipped from Conn's knee after
am embrace piteous with entreaty, kissed
her mother and the uncle whom she al
ready regarded with a kind of terror,
and went up quietly to bed. 1t was
the first night Of the girls life in which
she had experienced true sorrow and
the dragging length of the dark hours.
Even the many prayers she repeated
brought small comfort, for when she
had been through them twice her mind
wandered while her lips moved. A week
before she would have accepted the pro-
posed change, not, indeed. without Sor
row, but as part of the necessary round
of life. Now it seemed an utter uproot-
ing, terrible as the idea of death.
1t was decided that Maggie should so

knew it was inevitable, and congratu-
lated himself on the brilliant idea which
had sent him to see Ellen's eldest girl.
Her attractiveness was beyond his
hopes: even in his eyes she was pretty.
and he saw no more than the shell of
her, the accidents of feature and OF
health. He advanced meagre sum to-
wards the purchase of the necessary out
fit, to be repaid. he said, when she
was earning for herself.
Maggie's parting from James Phelan
was a very simple matter after all. Her
heart was too big for speech, and his,
if not that, at least prompted him TO
say.no more than might have been over
heard with safety by any passer-by.
Mary Cregan, as he knew, had long
ears and a longer tongue: it was well to
be discreet. But Frank Power, who
had habit of silent prowling, both
saw and heard. He said nothing. but
that night his lean face looked leaner
and his crafty eyes drew closer together
under bent brows.

When she went downstairs her father

sitting, clean and uncomfortable, near
the hearth. Mrs Coyle sat opposite to
him; the nine children We're perched on

COnn's last words to Maggie were:.

Inc change to Maggie from Bally-
clogher to Belfast was like moving from
Tree air to a close room. Disappoint-
ment met her on the threshold of the
new life, for the glorious shop which she
mad imagined, with plateglass front
and sumptuous display of millinery, far
inner than anything in Carmore, proved
to be a dark little place in a side street,
with hardly more room than Mrs Mac
Donagh's. A good deal of business APP
peared to be done, but it was mainly
with poor people, and instead of handling
silks and velvets Maggie had to sell such
common stuffs as she had been familiar
with from childhood
Maggie and companion worked at
one counter, Frank Power and his new
partner at another facing it. The new
partner was AN amiable young man,
content, it seemed, to work under his
seniors direction, and appearing to have
no ideas of his own. Power ruled the
place. He sat up late at night over his
looks. long after the household had
gone to bed. Once, when Maggie came

with frigid endearments, which the girl
understood less than his rage.

ceived no answer. This did not trouble
her much, because she knew that he

VERY FEW PEOPLE
Are Free From Some Form Of Indiges-
81 ton.

ARE Free From Some Form Of Indiges-
Very few people are free from some
form. of Indigestion but scarcely two
will have the same symptoms.
Some suffer most directly after eating,
bloating from gas in stomach and bow
els, others have heart burn or sour
risings, still others have palpitation Of
heart, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in
chest and under shoulder blades, some
have extreme nervousness as in nervous
dyspepsia.
But whatever the symptoms may be,
the cause in all cases of indigestion Is
the same, that is, the stomach for some
reason fails to properly and promptly
digest what is eaten.
This is the whole story of stomach
troubles in a nut shell. The stomach
must have rest and assistance and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give it both
by supplying those natural digestives
which every weak stomach lacks, owing
TO the failure of the peptic glands in
the stomach to secrete sufficient acid
and pepsin to thoroughly digest and as
simulate the food eaten.
One grain of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
3 600 grains of meat, eggs or other
wholesome food, and this claim has been
proven by actual experiment which any
one can perform for himself in the fol-
lowing manner: Gut hard boiled egg into
very small pieces, as it would be II
masticated, place the egg and two or
three of the tablets in bottle or jar
containing warm water heated to 9S de-
grees (the temperature Of the body and
keep it at this temperature for three
and one-half hours, at the end of which
time the egg will be as completely di-
gested as it would have been in the
healthy stomach of hungry boy.
The point of this experiment is that
what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
do to the eggs in the bottle it will do TO
the egg or meat in the stomach and
| nothing else will rest and invigorate the
stomach so safely and effectually. Even
little child can take Stuart's Tablets
with safety and benefit if its digestion
is weak and the thousands of cures ac-
complished by their regular daily use
are easily explained when it is under
stood that they are composed Of vegeta-
BILE essences, aseptic pepsin, biastase
and Golden Seal, which mingle with the
food and digest 1t Thoroughly, giving the
over-worked stomach chance to recup-
crate.
Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neither
do pills and cathartic medicines, which
simply irritate and infame the intes-
tines
When enough food is eaten and
promptly digested there will be mo con-
stipation, nor in fact will there be dis
ease of any kind because good digestion
means good health in every organ.
The merit and success Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets are world wide and
they are sold at the moderate price Of
80 cents for full sized packages in every
drug store in the United States and
Canada as well as in Europe.
For the information of those interest
