Backed up by over third of century
OF remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering To pay $500 in
legal money for any case of Leucorrhea,
Female Weakness. Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure. All they
ask Is a fair and reasonable trial of their
means of cure.
Very often married woman or young
girl does not know who TO turn to for ad-
vice IN circumstances where she dislikes To
talk with the family physician about deli
cate matters. Al such times write to DR..
K. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.
OF Buffalo, n. Y, for free consultation and
advice, and the same will be held as sa-
credly confidential. 1t is foolish to consult
women friends or persons without medical
training.

tains no alcohol, is entirely vegetable and

CHAPTER XXTI.

ut was the first Of May, and the
annual reunion Of the Confed-
crate veterans was being held
in Atlanta. It was the gala
week Of the year. Every town and
city in the south sent its official repre-
sentatives and it's maids Of honor.
The hotels were crowded and the streets
thronged with an incongruous multi
tude wearing badges Of ribbon. South
ern generals and their wives and daugh-
ters were holding gay receptions. Ev-
erybody was welcome; hands were ex-
tended to people from the north as We'll
as from the south. Shouts filled the
air when the carriage of an ex-Confed-
crate officer passed through the streets.
The bands played Dixie" Men,
SCARED and MANNED, stood on the street
corners and in the bars and hotels and
told war stories and sang the praises
Of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall jack
son. All was mirth and good feeling.
From the public buildings, the clubs,
hotels and carriages foated the Amer
lean flag. 1t hung everywhere, but it
was never applauded and yet never
hissed. 1t was beautiful to look upon
and stood for peace, patriotism and
prosperity. The southerners would
have admitted this, and yet there was
another beauty dearer to their weary
memory-a beauty for which they had
fought grimly and lost.
Mrs. Cranston. Lydia and Kitty Cos
by were visiting the Dunleighs, a Eir-
ginia family who lived in one Of the
best houses in Peachtree street. George

what I'm workin' on her right now
might be called the 'hold-in' plan"
1.-The 'hold-in' plan?" George echoed
wonderingly.
"Yes, the .hold-in'," answered Ken
ner. You see. ef I was to tell her
right out that my past record was as
black as d stack of black cats she'd not
believe it, but when she comes right

that night to show preference to Mr..

"She said that" George exclaimed,
his face aglow, his eyes flashing. "And
did she say anything else?'
yes, she did, George, an got aw-
'ully sorry fer 'er. She told me her pa
had set his heart on her marryin' Tel
fare, an that she was afeard, since her
father had heart disease, to run con-
trary to his wishes She said she was
afeard the Disappointment I'd actually

does q sight O. things that is beyond
our ken, but why he makes women

count fer. I reckon he knows bis busi-
ness, but 1t conflicts with my notions

whirlin' universe I'd not let men like
Telfare lord it over better folks; but
the Almighty made the skunk, an the

tentment I know I'd ruther be corn

sun AN to be the sort Of a governor
that man is an know it-like he knows
It now"
Without another word Truitt turned
and left the Office George sat mo-
ment as If dazed by sudden reallza-
ton that had come to him from the
old soldiers recital. He was recalling
Lydia's appearance and manner as she
came into the parlor that evening with
the flower in her hand.
