She did not see "Mr. Temple" again
that day, and did not think of him or

would not have believed an angel if he
had come to tell her anything against

The duke missed her all that after

got used to having her standing or sit

balm in his moments of pain. And
yet he could not wholly trust her, or

rest of her sex. His keen eyes had seen
the change in her face when he had

The next day passed, and no Yorke

following one he got into the train at
Paddington on his way 10 Porfmaris.
As he did so, with a sigh of relief

| Can any one ever tell what her first
love letter means to young girl VINO
Is in love with the writer?
Leslie gazed at the one line in
Yorie's awful scrawi as Moslem
might regard a verse from the Koran;
and not once or twice did her sweet
lips kiss the scrap of paper Then
she examined the pendant more mi
nutely; and though her experience of
iewelry was of a very limited char
acter, she knew that the gift was an
expensive one.
1T Is to ogood too grand for me-"
she said and yet with a sensation of
pleasure in its worth. Il should have
been as pleased If he had sent me a
bunch of flowers bought in the Lon

grand for his wife. He would think
nothing too u.rei too costly for her.

She found piece of ribbon and put
the pendant on it, and hung it round
her white throat, and the fire and
glitter of the diamonds almost startled
her.
1T is just as well that may not
wear 1t openly-yet," she said to her
self, with a soft shy laugh. Il should

get used to wearing beautiful things
like this? He would say yes; but
feel now as If never should be able
to do so without being conscious OF
my splendor. But | must hide you for

And she arranged the pendant SO
that 1t nestled over her heart, and
buttoned her dress over it, and there
it seemed to glow with a soft warmth,
as IL it knew that it had come from

early days of her married life Mrs.
Cortelyou has no patience with that
kind of women designated as paper

a terse description of the situation
of this eookless, kitchenless age.
Hers is a home where everything is

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In is43 she married Isaac Pinlxham.
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling In physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many Of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs
. Mrs. Pinl1ham took great interest
In the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods Of
all kinds; so, II we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief OF these was a rare combina-
ton Of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure OF the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia Il. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinlxham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centcn-
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia e. Pinkham's
