Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,

such tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. D.. O. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,

Il 81 was under the treatment Of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years / learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and decided that I would
try them. The very first box took

CHAPTER XXI.
Brothers..

0TOItlSTSs
The sun had set now. The quick
dusk had fallen over grassland and
gray plain The moon was climbing
up slowly into the upper heaven, de-
liverately, calmly, as if she scorned
haste, In the hut by the farther de-
fences, where the sentry kept up his
steady pacing to and fro, man was
looking at the patch of silver light as
1t crept higher and higher up the wall
of his prison-the last moonlight he
should ever see.
He was not sleepy. One does not
want to sleep for to-morrow's refresh
ment when its first hours shall end for
.eyermore all fatigues. He had so much
TO think of as he sat there, his head
between his hands, his eyes staring at
the dim wall. He had written his two
letters-heaven knew if they would
ever find the hands he had addressed
them to. There was one to his uncle
the old man who had so ill borne his
disgrace which he grasped but family;
the other to Ursula. There had not
been much to say in either. So much
crowds to ones lips when it is ones
last chance Of utterance that most
must remain unsaid.
He was not afraid of death; he was
a soldier. This chance had been plain
before him when he undertook the at
tempt. He had nothing to complain
Oft was wars fortune. Life had
grown SO unkfnd to him, in his unde-
served disgrace and misfortune, that
he need not cling to 1t. And yet-and
yet-its sweetness breathed on him
with passionate yearning as he sat
there, seeing his last hours slip away
from him. Oh, for a moment with his
back to a wall, to fall fighting not to
die like a helpless animal!
Some one was talking outside the
open winGowsome one whom the
sentry answered in tones as low. 1t
had taken the latter by surprise that
was like amazement when the man
stepped out from the shadow and
asked to speak with the prisoner.
There Is no one allowed near him:
he is under sentence Of death. He will
be shot tomorrow at daybreak. You
cannot see him. 1t is impossible to al
low
And then the other had drawn pa
per from his pocket and held it out to
him. Read that; you know tbs name
of Cronje This is my permit. e The
sentry strained his eyes, but the light
only let him see the writing he could
not decipher IT, The man in the rid
ing boots gave an exclamation OF inn
patience and struck match; he held
It 30 that the sentry could see the
words on 1t, Pass the bearer, !" and
the signature. ~ lss
He dropped It respectfully. A pass
from such q quarter was an open
sesame. AS he turned to hand the
paper back he started, and gave a
faint exclamation IN his turn. The
light of the match had fallen fun upon
the strangers face as 1t fiickered out.
