For Love Of MadeIaine.
BY JAMES o'sHAUGHNEssY.

Although l had been a frequent
caller at the home of Madelaine Zim-
mer, as had right to be, had never
met Charles Newkirk there. Indeed,
there were many other young men OF
my acquaintance whom l had never
met at her home, for that matter, but
the fact that Newkirk and l never
happened to be callers in the luxurious
house Of the Zimmers at the same
time is worthy ofsmention. This was
the Newkirk who was in love with
Madelaine.
His tenderness for her was hardly
within my knowledge, as he had never
told me of it, but it was SO firmly
matter Of belief with me that it in
terfered with my ease Of mind. knew
he called to see her; that was suffi-
cient to make out plain case OF RI
valry against him. After that when
ever l encountered him at the club or
at receptions the very sight Of him
quickened my sense of envy. His
handsome features, his rakish mus
tache, his correct clothes and his
graceful carriage had the distressing
effect of putting me in despair OF win
ming Madelaine so long as he was in
the field. For that reason l was glad
had never met him when was pay
ing my devotions to her, as 1 felt I
Tould suffer, by comparison, in her
eyes.
II he was handsome and dashing, he
was devoid of some Of the essentials
for good husband. l knew this.
Madelaine, was sure, did not know 1t.
Therefore, as one who loved her with
every fiber of his heart that was sensi-
BILE to passion, felt double purpose
in my wooing-to save her from him
and to win her for myself.
I wanted to tell her what sort of a
fellow at heart Newkirk was. Being
his rival, however, 1 dared not.

made in dissecting the souls of women
that it would have contrary effect
Newkirk never spoke of her to me.
l never spoke of her to him. She never
mentioned him to me. Still he kept
calling to see her. So did I. Still

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pin!sham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell. and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date OF
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter OF all
pains and irregularity.

the lake and the sky were bluer and
the air was perfumed as we slowly
paced along. We forgot the dinner
hour and didn't care, for we were
happy.
1t was late in the afternoon when
we returned to the hotel. We were
sitting in the cooling shade of the
great veranda. Another boatload OF
visitors hauled up from the wharf
were being discharged from the hacks
and we were studying them as they
passed into the hotel.
My eye fell on one Of them and 1t

she exclaimed in alright.

ment, but she followed my fixed stare
with her terrified glances until she,

momentary paralysis.
She gave q scream and threw her
self, fainting, in my arms.

Charles Newkirk, back from the grave

him.

I demanded as savagely as / could

mother came shrieking to her daugh-
ter's aid. A score Of other women
rushed in upon me. I surrendered my
fainting loved one to their more skill

from the hysterical concourse, went
to meet Newkirk face to face. Made

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of eXaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
