Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is b
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by .
arrangement of the female organism,
and which. while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years / suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stor,ach | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. l was ad.
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to fini that it acted like a fine tonic, and in q
few Gays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid and in
five weeks | was well woman. l have REQ
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsements or has such record OF
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

SACRIFICED TO SCIENCE.
Twenty Thousand Batracians, Which
Are Frogs, Killed Yearly.

Twenty thousand frogs year are
used for dissecting and experimental
purposes in the University of Pennsyl-
vania medical laboratories.
Both medical and dental classes
view the experiments.
Frogs exist in peculiar manner.
Their spinal cord constitutes the basis
Of their intelligence, and after their
brain is destroyed they will live for an
indefinite period. Several years ago
the brain of one was taken out. To-
day the frog is alive and well and
jumping about its cage.
Frequently holes are made in the
back of a frogs head and the brains
loosened with burnt match stick.
Much useful and valuable knowledge
has been obtained from these expert.
ments.
AS the Pennsylvania law forbids the
hunting of bullfrogs except during Ger
tain months Of the year, the frog
catcher has to make careful distinc
ton between frogs and bullfrogs.
The frog is much smaller and Of a
different color.

KITTEN BLOCKED SIDEWALK.
Everybody Dodged the Dirty Feline
Until a Banker Appeared.

Until Banker Appeared.
At noon to-day, when Park Row,
Manhattan, was crowded with hungry
mortals, looking for their favorite
eating place, halfstarved black and
white kitten made its appearance on
the sidewalk. 1t might have wander
ed >out of some cellar or some tattered
newsboy dropped it, hoping to see
some fun. The ball of dirty fur land
ed directly in front of clerk. He
made frantic effort to avoid stepping
on the kitten and was successful. A
young woman following stepped to
one side. The crowd followed her
lead. Then, at the rate Of hundred
or SO a minute, people were turning
aside lest they injure the kitten. Any
one of the number could easily have
raised the little mass of bones on his
or her toe and tossed it into the gut
ter The kitten held full possession
of the sidewalk for fully five minutes.
Then a banker, whose time is worth
several dollars minute, caught up
the little feline, worthless from al
most everybody's point of view, and
carried it a distance OF twenty. feet
and tenderly deposited it in an alley.
And yet somebody the other day

CHAPTER VII.

Glum RdlStOn Return.
After the frantic effort on the part
of Belcher to seize Ethel Berry for
discovering him to have been in Lack
lands employ, the wounded man grew
sullen. The miners were anxious to
hang him and to have it over with,
but cooler heads prevailed. ut will
never do" said Clarence Berry, "to
destroy the only hope we have of
recovering Paul's gold and solving
this mystery, which deepens with
every new development. Besides, we
have had no lynching yet in the Klon-
dyke, and let us not have any if we
can avoid it,"
Ore evening after the simple re-
past was over, Clarence and Ethel sat
discussing the probable fate of Paul,
who was never out of Ethels mind.
Poor Paul, he must be dead" she
said her eyes filling with tears. Il
must write to Laura; l must tell her
his awful fate
After a few moments silence he
heaved a sigh and said:
1T will be very bad news"
"She must know it some time,
Clarence"
That is true, and perhaps the
knowledge of his fate, awful as it is,
will not equal the suspense"
Il will write tomorrow. When
can the letter get through?"
''Not before spring-you need not
hurry" he answered, with a sad
smile.
Suddenly the door was caused to
quake by the thump from a giant
fist, and, opening it, they found their
| nightly visitor, Dick, but he was not
alone this time, Gid Myers was at his

| What is the matter?" asked Clar

I'VE want yer gun, Clarence" said
Long Dick, as soon as he could re-
gain his breath. II want to tell ye

Fearing their excited Imagination

wandering polar bear, though those
animals were seldom seen in that par

his Winchester rife and accompanied
his companions to the foot of the hill
where the mysterious creature haG

a warm bearskin coat hanging loosely
about his shoulders was coming
slowly down the hill. The approach

DiscouraQinq Flax Outlook.

The general outlook for flaxseed ap-
peals to the ordinary farmer at this
season of the year and farmers who
consider the advisability of flax rails
ing will be interested in the condi-
tions which have governed the flax
market during the past year and
which will be a criterion for the con-
ditions of the coming crop. Leading
statisticians figure that AT this time
there is an equivalent to 10 million
bushels of seed in seed and oil in
Minneapolis and Duluth; that country
elevators and farmers hold at least
million bushels and that outside OF
the fax belt, there are million
bushels more in storage tanks. This
makes an available supply OF flax In
the seed and Oil of at least 20 million
bushels. The normal consumption of
seed for all purposes in the United
States is approximately 10 million
bushels 1t is, therefore, apparent
that an actual surplus Of about l mil
lion bushels is now in sight, after
allowing for all demands for seed
during the coming year. 1t is now GER
tain that Europe will be able to draw
from the countries usually supplying
Europe, at least 45 million bushels,
and that no possibility for exporting
any of our seed presents itself Dam
age reports from India and Argentine
have been shown to be highly exag-
gerated. The United States, con-
sequently, will be obliged to take care
of all the seed now in sight with that
of another crop This will have de-
pressing effect on the prices in this
country and means that the values OF
seed will be largely regulated by this
enormous surplus, to be further aug
mented by the coming crop In view
of the foregoing it is hardly likely
that American farmers are going to
take any chances in sowing unusual
quantities of fax this year. Farmers
in the sections which produced the
major portion Of last years crop are
hesitating and the enormous available
supply, together with almost certain
lower prices, certainly are good rea-
sons for serious consideration. A good
crop Of fax added to existing stocks
will naturally mean unprecedented low
values, and farmers are not going to
take any risk as long as inducements
are held out to them in the way OF
high priced wheat and other cereals

CHAPTER VI.
Berry's Success.


We will for the present take leave
of Paul Ralston and return to Berry's
party on their way to the Klondyke.
They arrived first at FortyMile
camp, but here found nothing to do.
Clarence staked out claim and
went to digging. 1t was slow proc
ess and the reward was poor. He
took out a little gold. but not
nearly enough to pay him for the
hardships. Then came reports of the
wonderful finds in the Klondyke dis
trict.
"Now is your time, Clarence" said
Ethel. Go at once and make all you
country"
What shall l do with you?" he
asked.
Leave me behind"
Ethel, l cannot think of doing
that" he declared.
"YOu must. Clarence. will follow
as soon as possible, but hasten on
now and stake out a claim for us.
Stake out two, one for you and one
for me. feel that this is the turning
point in our careers"
And so it proved.
1t was the saddest day Of his life
when Clarence Berry bade adieu to
his young wife and started alone for
the distant mining camp. The part
ing Of the husband and wife, as the
reader may imagine, was affectionate
but there were no tears. Ethel re-
strained them and smiled cheerfully
as long as she was in sight, to run
into her shanty and have little cry
the moment she could see him nc
more.
The river, which must be crossed
before she could reach the Klondyke
was already beginning to show signs
of floating ice, and she knew it would
only be a short time before it would
be completely frozen over So she
worked with will and got everything
packed and started on the little steam

Her husband and his party Joined hel
on the way up the river.
It was late in the season when this
devoted, daring couple struck gold ol
any consequence. Then it came in 9
torrent. All through the winter Clar
ence Berry was piling up wealth. His
wife was at the mines every day, and
as the great chunks Of frozen earth
were dumped on the ground her fail
fingers were busily at work picking
out the nuggets. During the season
she picked out ten thousand dollars
worth of golden pebbles with hel
fingers.
Though absorbed in gold digging
she never forgot Paul, who with Glun
Ralston had not been heard from
since those two persons left in search
for the bold men who had robbed the
youth.
One night as they sat about thei1
cheerful fire, there came rap at the
door of their shanty, and they found
Dick Ronold asking admission.
"Come in, Dick. What brings yor
out such a night and in such 6
