About year ago the !olng lover
asked his iiancee 10 set the date. AND
+ ght there the trouble commenced. She
consented to be married on May II. but
"'ipulaied that Rev. Mr Miley must per-
form the ceremony. Pickens. who did
not care who performed the ceremony
laughingly asked why she wanted that
particular minister instead of the home
preacher And she told him the story
Of her mothers romance and of tho
childish vow she had made that she
would be married by the same man.
SO he told her that he would make the
arrangement.

MIR. Miley live?"

That was the beginning Of Lhe world

en-, went to Crowley and found that
the minister had moved away from
there Is years ago, less than a year after
he performed the ceremony He hunted
among the old inhabitants until he
found one who remembered that Miley
had gone down somewhere neal Spar
tanburg, S. C., to preach. Pickens went
there and learned that the church had
sent Miley as a missionary minister into
the hill country OF the western end Of
the state.

the church authorities 20 give him sono
trace OF the man.
The latest record they had Of him
was 1896, when an entry In the books
showed that he had resigned charge
near Murphy, and no further trace OF
him was found
Pickens hurried to Murphy Tho
parishHners remembered that Rev AFR
Miley had been offered missionary pO-
sition-t they thought In some northern
state-and had accepted Then Pickens,
getting panic stricken, placed adIer-
tisements in scores of newspapers, ask
ing for information regarding the min
lister.
The advertisements brought results.
He found four ministers named J. W.
Milcy and nine ministers named Miley
whose first names were not definite. The
week before the date set for the wedding
he received telegram saying that the
man he sought was preaching near Bel

received reply from the Belfast Miley
stating that he never had lived In the
south at all. but would be proud and glad
to come on and perform the ceremony.
For time Pickens hesitated whether
or not to bring on the Belfast minister
and pass him of as the Miley who was
wanted Then, realizing that discovery
of such a trick might wreck the life hap
piness OF both, he abandoned the idea,
and, going to Miss Hlnshaw. he pleaded
with her 10 give up her plan, and to let
the home minister perform the cere-

Miss MteMUOnoLd,

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from well. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits. reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, fatulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other fe-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed a life of suffering or serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald of Woodbridge,
N. j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
4" Restored health has meant so much to me
that cannot help from telling about it for
the sake of other suffering women.
g For a long time | suffered untold agony
with female trouble and irregularities,
which made me physical wreck and no one
Thought | would recover, but Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has entirely
cured me, and made me well and strcng, and
i feel 1t my duty to tell other suffering women
what splendid medicine it is"

has under her direction. and since her
decease, been advising sick women free
of charge. Her advice is free and
always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass.

a close political ally of German. When
