Busy Young King.

Alfonso, the young king of Spain.
leads a busy life. made up of work,
and study, and sport-such a life as
any young man might lead. And this
is what has endeared him to his peo-
pie. In no monarchy was the kings
majesty more hedged about with cere-
mony. The young king has broken it
all down. His ancestors loomed l.,hind
the curtained windows of the palace.
He has gone to the people. He Is
part of the national life. And his
frank and boyish good fellowship has
done more to make the monarchy sare
than "all the kings horses and all the
kings men,"

SCIENCE AND THE MEDIUMS
Facts Once Held to Be Miracles, But
Conceded by Modern
Thought.

S"piritualism is the successor Of the
medlaeval Occultism and Of the older
magic. To-day science, without accept
ing its manifestations, studies them:
ana In these troubled waters almost all
the facts upon which the new meta
physics is founded have peer ished I'D.
Like magnetism, says Vance Thomp-
son in ~Everybody's, it has drawn the
attention of physicians to the phenom-
ena OF induced sleep and has given
many of the date for the study of
hypnosis and suggestion. The mediums,
who believe, like the ancient pytho-
nesses, that they are possessed by
foreign spirits, have served for the
study Of the change of personality and
teIepathy. And it has shown that the
prodigies, diabOliC and divine. record
ed IN all early religions were not 40
fabulous as the critical fancied.
At all events science admits that
there Is a force-call il psychic as
Cl"Jkes does, neuric with Baretz. vital
with Baraduc, or the odic force of
Reichenbrach-a force which can ne
measured and described, which leaves
It's mark ON the Photographic pl1ts,
which emGn2tes from every living b.
ing, which acts at a distance. which
javcs or destroys. Plato knew It,.
Great wizards like Cardan made use
# IT,. The Charitans like Gag i0strC
Numbered upon It. The scientist have
he last word.
What definite facts has science az
iuired? The change of personality:
hat IL classic now. The evidence for
'elrrathy is indubitab!e. That may
;eem a bold statement; it is a CON-
monplace for those who are in touch
with the latest experiments of the
metaphysics clinics. Only a few years
lgO-before Pasteur came-it would
have been deemed sheer idiocy to talk
IF studying typhoid fever or cholera or
o~rysipclas in a laboratory. Telepathy
is an acquired certainty--as much as
Harvey'S theory Of the circulation of
the blood, which three academies OF
physicians declared impossible.
And the explanation OF the strange
phenomena: Are they hints and in
stigations from slother world-the in
tervention Of spirits Of the dead, of
angels or demons? This is the opin.
ion held by almost all the sects of the
occult, those who worship in the hun
dred and n little religions Of mysti-
cism. Science does not go quite so far.
1t declares:
|. There exist in nature certain un-
known forces capable of acting on
matter.
(This covers all the objective phe-
nomena Of metaphysics, such rs the
transport of bodies from n place to
another, luminosity. etc.
9. We possess other means of know
ing than those Of reason or the senses.
This applies to the subjective phe-
nomena of metaphysics, including tele-
pathy, second sight, clairvoyance.)

from side to side in their desperate ef.
forts. Now Miron has the advantage
as he strives to trip his adversary;
but Pompon, quick and agile, recover
his footing, and the struggle Is re-
newed on equal terms. Backward they
rush, and Miron barely saves himself
from falling from the platform into
the yard of the fort by a desperate
wrench. They turn and twist and turn
again. The rough plapks beneath their
feet creak under their tread: the whole
structure vibrates with the violence Of
the fight.
At length Pompon's strength began
to fail, and he felt the grip on his
throat tighten, while his w slowly
relaxed. They were alone; the din of
battle, the shouts OF the French, and
the war-cries of the Indians, reached
his ears from the other side Of the
fort. There was no aid near. He
could not maintain the struggle longer.
He glanced at Renee, %crouching help
less and terrified beside his wounded
friend, and a look of high resolve came
into his eye that made his ugly SCARED
countenance glow with the beauty Of
a noble purpose, a look his antagonist
saw and dreaded. Renee met his
glance and understood. With the cry,
"Adieu, mon C%apitaine!" he forced his
foe back by one supreme effort. An
other step toward the outer edge is
made, and a grim smile Of satisfaction
appears upon his face. One more

CHAPTER XVII.
THE END IS P.EACHED. AND ToNT1
INTO IIIS OWN

THE END IS P.EACHED. AND TONTI
COMES INTO HIS OWN.
Week after week of suffering fol-
lowed for Tonti. The desperate ma
ture of his wounds sent the fever
mounting to his brain, and he tossed
YEARLY about, fighting against num-
berless foes, living over again many
of the events through which he had
passed during the last two years. In
all his battles did the lowering sinis-
ter face Of Miron appear; through all
the scenes did the form of Renee fit,
eve with her eyes fixed upon him, at
times glad and laughing, now sad and
~reproachful, and again with the love-
light born of a deep and noble passion
shining through them. At times the
figure of La Sale approached and
looked reprovingly at him. Then did
Tonti break forth in his own defense.
"Ah! mon ami" he would murmur,
did you but know the task your
friendship imposed; did you but real
lie the heavy load your confession Of
your love for Renee, my Renee, laid
upon me, you would not hold me
worthy of reproof. Could you but have
seen my struggle, daily, hourly, to
trample down the love that had sprung
into existence at the anne time az
your own, to maintain the honor OF
my word, to uphold that faithfulness
to you that I knew was the only thing
I had to offer to her memory, you
would have pitied me-"
Again his other friend stood beside
him and he appealed to him: mon
cher Pompon," he cried, you know
the temptation I was subject to-. You
must know, for you were with us;
you heard with me the music in hel
voice, more delightful than the harmo-
MES Of many birds. You heard hel

withdrew his hand, and Renee realized
that her patient had regainea con-
s~ciousness.
lie soon slept, this time not TO
dream, but to gather strength. Thus
did he sleep and awaken day by day.
Each awakening, thanks to the effect
Of the ointment Renee had found in
Pompon's bag, brought a feeling of
renewed vigor and a sharper bound
to his pulse that sent the life stream
quickening to every part. Whenever
be reused himself no saw the same pa
aient figure of her whom he loved,
watching, praying beside him. She
would not let him talk, but ere long
admitted the chevalier and B~oisrondet
Their hearty clasp Of the hand and
cheering words urged on his con-
valescence. They told him little by
little of the events Of that awful night.
How, after his leaving the gate, the
Indians had advanced along the path
with a rush, and Boisrondet had, on
his own responsibility, fred the mine,
| which sound had been the last his
| ears had heard when he sank beneath
the murderous hand Of Miron. How
the chasm formed by this explosion
had prevented any further attack upon
the fort. How Baugis had finally rail-
lied his forces, and, approaching the
%Iroquois from the rear, had made a
strong onslaught, just as they recoiled
from the exploded mine, and slaugh-
tered many, driving some into the
river and putting the rest to fight,
pursuing them for eight days, until
the hosts that had assailed so boldly
were reduced to a few struggling
bands that skunk despairingly home
ward. In answer to an inquiring look
they told him that Miron was dead and
that Pompon had gone on a journey.
Lazily he watched his nurse as she
moved about the room, half regretting
warned him of a coming time when
he would no longer need her assist
ance and would lose the delight Of hav-
ing her neaashin. But he shrank from
contemplating that event, knowing
that the taking up Of their separate
duties once more would tax his pow
ers to the full. Then came the days
when, propped up in a chair, he sat in
the doorway and enjoyed the bright
October sunshine, while the Indian
chiefs and soldiers came to pay theil
respects to the commander they loved
One afternoon after he had been able
to stand and take a few steps he was
told by Renee of Pompon's end. OF
the sacrifice that he had made for hel
and him. How the bodies of the two
men had been found floating a few
miles below the fort still clasped II
their fierce embrace. How the Indian!
had stolen the body Of the comte ant
burned it amidst excavations and male
dictions. How she had requested thu
chevalier to have a grave dug for Pom
pom out of the rock within the en-
closure of the fort, close to the seem
Of his death struggle.

must get TO her place of employment,

Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
I took them l was very nervous, had dull
headaches, pains in back, and periods were
irregular, I had been to several doctors, n
they did me no good.
sfYour medicine has made me well and
strong. I can do most any kind of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right.

1t is to such girls that Mrs. Pink

tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law Of
Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick women
