himv'
1t was so nice to see the white man
who had been master hunted down.
The colored woman laughed and threw
a dozen meaIie grains into her mouth
to chew.
All anger and excitement faded from
the old mans face. He turned slowly
away and walked down the little path
to his cabin, with his shoulders bent
1t was all dark before him. He stun
bled over the threshold of his own well
known door.
En-, sobbing bitterly, would have
followed him, but the Boer woman pre-
vented her by food Of speech which
convulsed the Hottentot, so low were
it's images.
Come, EN-" said Lyndall, lifting
her small, proud head, ''let US go in.
We will not stay to hear such Ian
guage."
She looked into the Boer woman's
eyes. Tant' Sannie understood the
meaning Of the look if not the words.
She waddled after them and caught
EN- by the arm. She had struck Lyn-
dali once years before and had never
done it again, so she took En-.
so you will defy me, too, will you,
you Englishman's uglinessv' she cried
as with one hand she forced the child
down and held her head tightly against
her knee. With the other she beat her
first upon one cheek and then upon the
other.
For one instant Lyndall looked on.
Then she laid her small fingers on the
Boer woman's arm. With the exertion
of half her strength Tant' Sannie might
have flung the girl back upon the
stones. It was not the power Of the
slight fingers, tightly though they
clinched her broad wrist, SO tightly
that at bedtime the marks were still
there. but the Boer woman looked into
the clear eyes and at the Qutverfng
white lips and with half surprised
curse relaxed her hold. The girl drew
Ems arm through her own.
Mover she said to Bonaparte, who
stood In the door, and he, Bonaparte
the invincfble, In the hour Of his tri-
umph, moved to give her place.
The Hottentot ceased to laugh, and
an uncomfortable silence fell on all the
three In the doorway.

Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist.
of Carmi, Ill, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the propr1e-
tors and manufacturers Of "Mother's
Friend" This successful remedy Is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but Q
scientifically prepared Iniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The iniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier IL
is begun, and the longer used, the moro
perfect will be the result, but It has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both motfE
and child, and leaves the mother in q con.
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
