The Woman Feared?

awful thing" feared, but only chronic
Indigestion, which proper food can re-

in my stomach that l actually feared

prominent Baltimore lawyer, who, like
most young attorneys, got his first
case by assignment from the bench.
His client had been indicted for muir
der and his conviction was a fore
gone conclusion, as his guilt was un-
questionable.
The result of the trial was SEN
tence to be hanged; but the man
made an appeal to the governor for a
pardon and was anXiously awaiting a
reply thereto when his lawyer visited
him in his cell.
II got good news for you-very
good news!" the young lawyer said,
grasping the mans hand.
did the governors it pardon?"
the man exclaimed joyously.
"Well, no. The fact is the governor
refuses to interfere. But an uncle Of
yours has died and left you 5000, and
you will have the satisfaction of know

cluded it would be too late for the de-
parting mails. She seemed to have
no difficulty in composing her thoughts
and transferring them to paper. There
were times when she would lean back,
nibble the end of her pen and smile
in dreamy, retrospective fashion. No
doubt her thoughts were pleasant and

She had completed addressing three
envelopes, when she heard the door
leading into the princess boudoir open
and close She turned to behold the
