So many people have what is called
dyspepsia without having the slightest
suspicion that catarrh Of the stomach IL
the cause. Such people take pepsin and
a thousand other things, vainly hoping
to get well. But the catarrh remains,
and Of course the dyspepsia remains.
Pe-ru-na cures these cases permanently
by removing the cause, which is oatarrh.
Pe-ru-na has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than any other remedy in the
world. Address DR.. Hartman, Colum-

AFTER CLOUDS, SUNSHINE.

"I'm clear discouraged mother" said
Mary Fairchild, throwing down her
agents outfit and sinking into chair.
The books slipped out of the shiny
waterproof satehel and fell noisily to
the floor, revealing some pages of a
Life of Washington and some pictures
in another volume, entitled The House
keel ers' Guide.
mo one wants the books. The last
woman 1 called on said Washington
wasn't her husbands idea and she
considered htrsslf about as good a
guide for hodsekeepsrs as the woman
who wit books about housekespin'
while some one else did the cookin'. a"
Here Mary laughed Historically and,
be ng worh out and nervous, ended by
having good cry.
"Tbsre, there; don't err, dear, begged
old Mrs. Fairchid, soo!binslY, "can-
vas ing may not be your vocation, but
you are bound to succeed yet. You're
energetic and wiling, and there will
come turn In the tide, Mary, before
very long, know"
Mary's teais had relieved the tension
ON her nerves and L-r mother faith in
her ultimate. success encouraged her in
spite of the fears she entertained for
their future welfare, and she dried her
eyes and began to smie.
you're regular sunbeam, mother" "
she said, kissing her affectionately,
"And l hope you're true prophet, as
well, and that the turn in the tide you
predict will soon occur"
And yet, despite her attempt at
cheerfulness, Mary was very sad when
she [retred that night, little thinking
that her darkest hours had passed and
that bright future was about to dawn
for her.
When Farmer Fairchild died he left
his wife and child in comfortable cir.
cumsiances, but little by little their
property he'd diminished until at last
Mary was forced 10 seek employment.
She first tired teaching country
school. but as obliged to give that up
on account of a long period OF illness
She then tried book canva sing, but
was not fitted for the work and was
not successful, yet, having her mother
as well as herself to support, she was
determined not to be conquered by
adverse circumstances. She slept little
that night and woke early undetermined
what work she would attempt next.
This question was solved in an unex-
pectod way, for letter arrived from a
relative in a Western city, telling Mary
she had the refusal Of position in
large department stere. The salary,
$50 a month, would keep the two till
something better offered itself.
So the Fairahilds sold their little
home and went out to the thriving
Western town, where Mary at once be-

ason noticed how anxious Mary was to
master all the details OF her department
and how carefully she attended to the

goods, going east thrice year for that
purpose. Mary deserved her good

who were always ready to do her an i'll
turn. But she also gained an ardent
admirer in the cashier of the store, q
rather ill.favored man of uncertain
age, toward whom Mary had received
an unaceountable antipathy. When
ever Mr., Mullen came near her she
became as distant as possible, but her
shyness, as he called it only attracted
him more to her. If was only after he
had declared bis love and offered Ter
his hand as if he were Offering her a
great honor that he became convinced
that Mary positively dislIked him.
Then, being mean at heart, he began
to hate her and plan for her humiliation.
In a short time he became very friendly
with one of the clerks under Mary

superior sklllfully, and finally enlisted
her aid in a dish onoiable scheme which
he had formulated.
One day, at noon recess, this girl
went to the Aoorwalker and in great
excitement declared that bolt of very
valuable ace had disappea ed from
|
the counter. The hoorwalker ac-
compane her to the depat tment and
began a thorough search for thu mss
ing lace. Under the counter he found
"A little portfolio containing two mag
azines, and between these magazines
was hidden the bolt of costly lace.
"Who is this portfolio!" he inquired,
sharply, holding up the lace
ut belongs to Miss FAirehild," the
girl answered. reGddy "but, surely,
sir, you cannot think sue would steal
the lace. 1t must be some mistake,
although" she added, ai if reluctantly,
81 heard her on yesterday say she
would give anything il it belonged to
her."
"nhen Miss Falrehid returns from
lunch tell her to come TO the PRESIDENTS
office aud you accompany her." said
the hoorwalker. When Mary, who
had not besntold Of the charge against
her, entered SIR, nuper's Office in
company with hor under clerk, she
found the cashier and the foorwaiAer
with Mr.. Harper.
"Miss Fairchld," said MI. Harper,
"you are accused of purloininS calu-
able piece of lace from the counter.
Have you anything to say?"
"This Young woman missed tie lace
