How often do we hear women say: at
seems as though my back would break, "
or Don't speak to me, am all out of
sorts?" These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and " the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some uterine arrangement. Nature
requires assistance and at once, and
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound instantly asserts it's curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments OF
women. 1t has been the standby OF
intelligent American women for twenty
years and the ablcst specialists agree
that il is the most universally success
full remedy for womau's ills known to
medicine.
The following letters from Mrs.
Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely are among
the many thousands which Mrs. Pink
ham has received this year from those
whom she has relieved.
Surely such testimony is convincing
Mrs. JIG. Holmes, of Larimore, North
Dakota, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
" have suffered everything with backache
and womb trouble let the trouble run on
until my system was in such n condition that
was unable to be about, and then il was
commenced to use Lydia Il. Pinkham's Nege-
table Compound. If l had only known how
much suffering would have saved, should
have taken it months sooner-for a few
weeks treatment made me well and strong
My hackaches and headaches are all gone and
suffer no pain at my menstrual periods,
whereas before l took Lydia Il. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound suffered intense pain"

Had Quite Enough.

A very subdued-looking boy of about
u years of age, with Al long scratch on
his nose and an air of general detection,
went to the master of one of the board
schools and handed him a note from his
mother before taking his seat and be-
coming deeply absorbed in a book:
The note read as follows:
Mr.. BFown-Please excuse James for
not being present yesterday. He played
trOoant, but you don't need to thrash
him for it, as the boy he played trooant
with an him fell out, an the boy fought
him, an a man they throo at caught him
an 'thrashed him, an the driver of q
cart they hung on to thrashed him also.
Then his father thrashed him, an l had
poodent to me for telling his father, SO
you need not thrash him until next time.
He thinks he better keep in school in
future. "-Tit-Bits,

and were making our way up the hill,
when, looking in the direction Of Hold

swiftly along.

with a heavy hand upon my shoulder
We had hardly sunk from view when
the man flew past us on the road.
Amid rolling cloud OF dust, caught
a glimpse of pale, agitated face
face with. horror in every lineament,
the mouth open, the eyes staring Wild
ly IN front. 1t was like some strange
caricature Of the dapper James Wilder
whom we had seen the night before.

We scrambled from rock to rock, un-
til In a few moments we had made
our way to point from which we
could see the front door Of the inn.
;Wiider's bicycle was leaning against
the wall beside 1t. No one was NOV
ing a bout the house nor could we
catch a; glimpse 'of any faces at the
windows Slowly the twilight crept
down as the sun sank behind the
high towers of Holdernesse Hall. Then,
TN the gloom, we saw the two side
lamps of a trap light up IN the stable
yard of the inn, and shortly afterward
heard the rattle of hoofs as 1t wheeled
out into the road and tore off at a fu-
rious pace in the direction of Chester
field
What do you make of that, Wat

1T looks like a flight"
"a single man in dogcart, so far

of it was the black figure of the Sec

out into the night. 1t was evident
that he was expecting some one. Then
at last there were steps in the road,

minutes later a. lamp was lit lin a
room upon the first floor.

serves to be a classic. Let us go across
to the smithy."
The lad continued his work without
regarding us. l saw Holmes eye dart
ing to right and left among the litter
of iron and wood which was scattered
about the floor. Suddenly, however,
we heard a step behind US. and there
was the landlord, his heavy eyebrows
drawn down over his savage eyes, his
swarthy features convuIsed with pas
sion. He held a short, metal-headed
stick in his hand, and he advanced in
so menacing fashion that was right

cooliy, 'one might think that you were

The man mastered himself with
violent effort and his grim mouth
leosened into a false laugh, which was
more menacing than his frown.
You're welcome to all you can find
in my smithy,'' said he. But look
here, mister, I don't care for folk pok-

who is the companion who comes 10

must really take risk, and try to in
vestigate this little more Closely,
Together we stole down to the road
and crept across to the door Of the inn
The bicycle still leaned against the
wall. Holmes struck match and held
it to the back wheel. and I heard him
chuckle as the light fell upon patched
Dunlop tire. Up above US was the
lighted window.
Watson. If you bend your back and
support yourself upon the wall, think
that I can manage"

shoulders. but he was hardly up be-

He hardly opened his lips during that
weary trudge across the moor, nor
would he enter the school. when he
reached 1t. but went on to Mackleton
Station. whence he could send some
consoling DR.. Huxtable, prostrated by
the tragedy Of his masters death. and
later still he entered my room as alert
and vigorous as he had been when he

After an hours delay, the great no

cadaverous than ever, his shoulders
had rounded. and he seemed to me to
be an altogether older man than he
