Is the worst kind of poverty. However
rich woman may be, if her health 10
rpoor" she is poor indeed. She has no
appetite for food and the choicest dishes
cannot tempt her. She turns and losses
through restless night OH couch
which might WOO All empress to slumber.
She has no strength for household cares,
no delight in social pleasure. She sits
operked up in clustering grief wearing
a golden SORROW" She is a wife and
mother. But she has no happiness in
either relation. SHE knows her husband s
life is set i'll tune and time to the minor
music OF her OWN misery. If her child
laughs or cries her nerves culver with
pain.
Ask such woman if she would like to
be we'll; to be her husbands comrade,
her child's playmate. Could there be
but one answer?
Such woman can get well If she will.
All her symptoms indicate a diseased
condition of the delicate womanly or
ganism. Cure that condition and the
woman will be lifted up to the full en-
joyment of health.
In ninety-eight cases out of every hum
dred DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will cure woInanly diseases, will restore
the womanly health. 1t has cured tens
of thousands of women many of whom
had been given up by physicians and
friends. 1t is essentially medicine for
woman's ills. 1t dries enfeebling drains.
1t heals Inflammation and liberation. 1t
cures female weakness and bearing down
pains. 1t tranquilizes the nerves. re-
stores the appetite and gives refreshing
sleep.
"Favorite Prescription" differs from
almost all other medicines put up for
woman's use in that it contains 10 alco-
hol and is entirely free from opium, Co
caine and all other narcotics. 1t is in
the truest sense of the term a tens
te,unce medicine.

CHAPTER TX.

TT is best not to repeat the express
sions Brewster used regarding one

L gram. But he felt considerably
relieved after he had uttered them. He
fell to reading accounts Of the big
prize fight which was to take place In
San Francisco that evening. He revel-
ed In the descriptions Of upper cuts"
and left hooks and learned inciden-
tally that the affair was to be quite
one sided. A local amateur was to
box a champion. Quick to see an op-
portunity and cajoling himself into the
belief that Swearengen Jones could
not object to such display Of sports
manship, Brewster made Harrison
book several good wagers on the result.
He intimated that he had reason to be-
lieve that the favorite would lose.
Harrison soon placed 5000 on his
man. The young flnancier felt 80 sure
of the result that he entered the bets
on the profit side Of his ledger the mo-
ment he received Harrison's report.
This done, he telephoned to Miss
Drew. She was not insensible to the
significance Of his inquiry If she would
be In that afternoon. She had observ-
ed in him of late a condition Of un-
easiness. supplemented by moroseness
and occasional periods of irascibility.

If he would turn to wave his hand to

broad back was straight and uncom-
promising. His long strides carried
him swiftly out Of sight, but it was
many minutes before she turned her
eyes, which were smarting. a little
from the point where he was lost In
the crowd. The room looked ashen to
her as she brought her mind back to
