Miss Esther Bowen of Wilburton,
Pa, is but IS years old, is the only
woman mail carrier in that mountain
Gus region and is exceedingly popular
all along her long and most difficult
route. On several occasions she has
been held up by masked highwaymen,
but each time she has managed to get
away without losing a penny, due to
her hardness with revolver. Each
time she has frightened away her as
sailants by her GOODNESS and nerve. Re-
Gently her horse ran away while on the
brink of n precipice. In the carriage
with her were Mrs. James Williams
and Miss Lottie Purgis. All would
have been thrown over the precipice
and killed had not Miss Bowen skill
fully guided the horse into the bank.
All We're thrown out, but landed in the
road. The horse ran down the noun

train and was frightfully hurt. Miss
Bowen picked up the mail bag, which
she had dragged from the vehicle with
her, and pluckily carried it on foot to
the railroad station, arriving just in
time to catch a train. Then she dress

GAIN FLESH
An Absolute Necessity
in Many Cases.
A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, VinOl,
Will Help You Do It.
THE WAY 1T ACTS ON A DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION Is
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? If you are
You had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol. 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from wear to wear in his weight.
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood.
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in n highly
concentrated state, and is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything to do with.
Ninol acts upon the stomach in a
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain
for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into it to
build up the pure healthy body and in
crease the weight.
Mr.. II. NJ. Stufell, who is n we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
My kidneys troubled me n great
deal, my bowels were very irregular. l
had great distress in my stomach, suf-
fered with bilious headaches. had no
appetite, could not Sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. L began to
take Vinol, l am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
My kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of it,;
1 sleep like a top and have gained
thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vfnol as the
king of medicines
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before Us, it is not
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
ingly agree to return to any one
who has taken Vino1 and is net
satisfied that il has accomplished all
that We claim for it every cent that
they have paid us for this remedy.

great stone house was never furnished

tall and rank on the lawn, the bats and

the gates and fences fell into ruin.
Everybody called it ''Eck's Folly" Still
the old physician kept up his regular
calls on Miss RhOads, and she received
