the aunt, accusing her with being at
the bottom of the whole matter,
which was true, this letter she never
answered. But few days later l re-
ceived, through a trusted maid, a
tear-stained note from Bessie, telling
me the separation was the work of
the aunt, as l had expected, who had
decided that she should never marry a
poor man, and if she did she would
cut her off without a cent. Bessie
assured me that while she had obeyed
her aunt in sending back my ring and
the rest, she still loved me, and that
she was ready to do what l thought
best, and if I arranged it, she would
come to me and be married.
For several months | struggled with
the problem. being encouraged by
sweet notes from Bessie, and seeing
her a few times, for her aunt had come
to believe that Bessie had given me
up, and SO had begun to relax her
vigilance. A merchant in the
same business that my father had
been in, wanted to sill OFT because of
his i'll health, and he made me the
first offer because of his friendship for
my father. The price. was $1,000
cash, which was hardly one-third of
what it was worth. / obtained the
refusal of 1T for six months and tried
to borrow the money. but no one was

burden, Bessie's aunt had selected a
young man of wealth, whom she was
determined that Bessie should marry.

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
Mr.. BAYySON PUBLISHES RESULTS
+ OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.


A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Nov
Rejoiccs in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzinS
question
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
sThey have been my best doctor, !" he
says. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which learned from
friends IN France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating" esssa aa- r-s
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for Dr. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time. Eea -
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
Dr. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid of nausea, pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of n dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and a
little book, ''What to Eat and How to
Eat, may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
am important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure of constipation.

had just returned from a years
study in Paris and had set up a studio
in New York city, when l met Pop
Brown" as he was always called. He
was an artist that nature had never
intended to be great, but who made
living painting sketches for a6-rertis-
ing signs, sofa pillows or anything
that would bring dollar He was a
lonely old man, apparently having no
relatives In fact, he afterward told
me that he had none, and seeking no
friends. AS our studios were on the
same floor we met often and after a
time for some reason which could
never explain became fast friends
AID we spent a good deal of time in
each others company. / was at the
time working rather steadily, for me,
on picture that was intended for
my masterpiece and sell for thousands
of dollars, out of which l was to repay
my father the money which he so lib
orally furnished me.
Considerable over a year passed by
without anything unusual in the path
of our friendship. / had finished my
picture, but the critics had not, for
every time they looked at it they
seemed to find something worse to say
about it and l. of course, found no
one foolish enough to buy it at a
large price In fact, as l look back.
l am certain that I never was born
for an artist, but my father, because
of certain rather clever drawings that
I made when boy, was certain that l
was and it was to please him that
made the effort While my picture
was being flayed by the critics, Pop
Brown was taken seriously sick, and
as he had no friend but myself it
seemed my duty to care for him, and
/ did SO with the help of my man.
He soon developed pneumonia, and the
second day after went out of his mind.
One thing that seemed to concern him
during all his sickness, was an old
frame containing a landscape. which
was probably his work in his younger
days. Again and again he asked for
the frame, and told me not to let it
go out of my possession, and now and
then murmured something about it.
that I could not understand. The
struggle with death only lasted a few
days and the old man passed away.
The day after his death lawyer came
to me with will that Brown had
made only few weeks before he was
taken sick, leaving me all his posses
sions. There was no cash that 1
could find and when l had disposed of
his studio effects they hardly brought
enough to pay the funeral expenses
and buy him a neat gravestone. l
disposed of all his things except the
old frame. which l kept to remember
my eccentric old friend because he
seemed to value it so much. during his
sickness. $50. -s

We are absolutely self-reliant a ma
