"Then," said the speaker, sit is suf-

ers stood silent and depressed. There
was a whispered consultation; the
inner door opened softly and some one
passed out.
The scene and circumstances lad
powerfully affected the doctor.
''There were difficulties | had not

CHAPTER II.

Richard Somers reentered the office
of DR.. Brodnar as the clock was strik-
ing ten. He was in full evening dress
and wore a white rose, Lamarque,
upon his lapel. AS he stood drawing
on his gloves Brodnar regarded him
with silent admiration. The straight
military figure of good height looked
taller than it had. There was no sug-
gestion of heaviness at any point, but
behind the perfect lines lay, as he
knew, an amount of strength and
nervous force that would with refrain
ing rank their owner among the ath-
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1901-02-21

On the morrow he had but to walk
the city until he found the premises,
if he would. So much for the secrecy
of his friend Brodnar!
By this time Richard Somers was
deeply interested man. Despite his
resolution to carry off the affair
lightly, he began to feel the presence
of something like tragedy. Where
was the woman who was to make use
of him blindly and go through the
form of marriage? Dimly at first,
perhaps as matter of logic, he was
conscious that she was in the room
and near him. Then without more
reason he became certain of it. The
room was not dark, for he felt light
upon his bandaged eyes. Instructive
ly he stretched out his hand.
Then there was laid within it an
other as soft as silken velvet and small
and tremulous. The touch thrilled him
from head to foot; it was the hand of
young woman-the timidity be-
longed to girlhood-and instantly a
deep sympathy moved him. 1t was
x
into this situation-forced her. because
now she. was softly crying, and her
emotion shock the little hand. Instant
ly his own hand closed above hers.
''Be not afraid, my child" he said;
"all will be WELL" His voice, low and
sympathetic, was the first to break the
silence of that room. The girl ceased
crying and her hand lay quiet within
his own. Then the doctor spoke in q
whisper:
1--WE are ready" he said to third
person; make the ceremony as brief
as possible The other began:
Orchard Somers, do you take this
woman to be thy welded wife, to live
together after Gods holy ordinance in
the holy state of matrimony? Wiltthou
love her, comfort her, honor and keep
her in sickness and in health, and, for
saking all others, keep thee only unto
| her, so long as We both shall live?"
There was silence, and then Richard
somers said gravely: 81 take this won.
an to be my lawful welded wife; and
shall comfort her. honor and keep her
| in sickness and in health. to the best OF
my ability, as long as l shall continue
to be her welded husband Is that
| sufficient, sir, to answer all legal re
quirements?"
"That is sufficient said the unknown
speaker. Frances, wilt thou have thi:
man to be thy welded husband"
ITO honor him at all times and in al
hours while life shall last?" said Som
ers, interrupting. II Gsk no more, nj
less"
Then upon his hearing fell a clear
musical voice, fawless as the note o
dove. plaintiye as the wind-harp o
the pines:
YES" it said, ''to honor him at al
times and in all hours while life shall
last, whether in the days to come w
meet again or we meet no more" H
lifted his head quickly, his hand close,
impulsively over hers, and a cry trem
bled upon his lips.
"That voice!" he said, deeply affected

HMM some genteel way-say--"
'No; killing is still crime, but mat
rimony isn't-th though often more i'm
moral. And killing would settle with
but one, while matrimony wipes out
the whole crowd"
Which, unfortunately, includes me,
if l guess well-but there you go again,
Frank! Sit down, and will be serious.
Only-you will let me inquire into the
details of this marriage which you have
evidently planned for me-a man may
inquire about his own marriage, may
.he not?" Somers' voice was now plain
tive. The doctor did not answer on the
moment, but walked to the window
and gazed gloomily into the blue spring
skies towards which the budding trees
of the old capitol were lifting their
arms in welcome.
"Of course, it is absurd, Dick" he
said, coming back, "and is obliged to
strike you SO; but, do you know, be-
ieve that friendship is the one indy
ing bond of our race. All others have
their imitations-eyen love of man
and woman burns itself out. believe
that somewhere between men such
friendship as this exists: to love where
another loves instantly and forever;
to hate where he hates blindly and inn
placably; to hold his honor higher and
sweeter than life, his happiness above
ones own; to feel this holy affection
SO strong that it permeates every quail
ity of mind and body, and makes us in
truth that which we believe our friend
to be. In such friendship, Dick, self
perishes. We look into the eyes of our
friend and say Command We do not
question; we trust implicitly, blindly;
and il we err"
Life is black forever!" Somers had
arisen, and, taking his friends hand,
was regarding with affection his
flushed face. THAT is Frank Brodnar

a moment in silence.

I'm view Of the great multitude Of
women suffering from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, DR.. Hartman, the renowned
gyn@cologist, has announced his will
lingness to direct the treatment Of as
many cases as may make application to
him during the summer months with
out charge.
The taeatment will be conducted by
correspondence. The doctor will pre-
scribe all medicines, applications, hy-
gienic and dietary regulations neces-
sary to complete cure. The medicines
prescribed can be obtained at all drug
stores. This offer will hold good only
during the summer months. Any wo-
man can become regular patient by
sending written statement of her age
condition Of life, history and symptoms
Of her arrangements.
All cases of female diseases, including
menstrual irregularities, s,displacements

once and become registered as regular
patients. All correspondence. will be
held strictly confidential. No testimo-
malls Of cures will be given to the public
except by the express wish Of the
patient.
AS is we'll known, DIR. Hartman is the
President of the Hartman Sanitarium,
an institution which has a department
devoted exclusively to the treatment of
female diseases. He is thus brought to
see thousands of such cases every year,
the most of WI ON return to their homes
to be treated by correspondence. The
principal remedy he relies upon in such
cases is Peruna, which every woman
shonld have, who has any affection of
this kind. Those wishing to become
patients should address DIR. s. B. HART

of them suffer with such diseases. Pa.
