against her will, became betrothed.
The day before the wedding Dorothy
sat in the library alone. Tears were
in the pretty blue eyes. She was
thinking OF her brother and also of the
absent artist lover, for she had given
her heart to him while promising her
hand to another. On q sudden a faint,
soft light shone near her, and again
the shadowy hand appeared. The light
glowed, and the hand pointed to a
folded paper near.
Dorothy, pale and frightened, glanced
at the letter. 1t warned her not to
marry Mr.. Ellsworth. He was suspect
ed and was being watched by detec-
tives. The letter was unsigned. On
her wedding day the poor girl was LII

pale and hollow eyed, from her sick

BEST PRESCRIPTION
CAN BE EASILY MIXED AT HOME
AND CURES RHEUMATISM.
Full Directions to Make and Take This
Simple Homemade Mixture
Makes Kidneys Filter
Out Acids.

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton, Pa, Times
that he had found a new way to treat
that dread American disease, Rheuma-
tism, with just common, everyday
drugs found in any drug store, the
physicians were slow indeed to attach
much Importance to his claims. This
was only a few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper in the coun-
try, even the metropolitan dailies, are
announcing it and the splendid results
achieved. 1t is SO simple that any one
can prepare it at home at small cost.
1t is made up as follows: Get from
delion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Mix by shak-
ing in a bottle and take in teaspoon
full doses after each meal and at bed
time. These are all simple ingredients,
making an absolutely harmless home
remedy at little cost
rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, if not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms of
bladder and urinary troubles and back
ache He also warns people in lead
ing New York paper against the indis-
criminate use OF many patent medi-
cines.

LONE WOMAN GOES EXPLORING
For to Admire and For to See, For to
BEHOLD This World So Wide

For to Admire and For to See, For to
Behold This World So Wide.
A lone woman traveller who since
last October has covered distance
twice the equatorial circumference of
the earth, arrived recently aboard the
North German Lloyd steamship Fried
rich der Crosse. She is Mrs. Lucy
S. Noble of Detroit, a widow of middle
age, with a taste for exploration and
means to crafty it, says the New York
Sun. She headed for the unknown
world by way of San Francisco, whence
she took steamship to Japan. She left
two grown daughters in Detroit.
In Japan Mrs. Noble found no anti
American sentiment. The guides and
Interpreters were particularly friendly.
They took her to places where they as
sured her no other American women
had ever set foot. After doing Japan
and China Mrs. Noble went to Korea.
She was accompanied by a guide, who
was also her Interpreter, a Korean cop
and three coolies. They assured her
that no white person had ever been in
SO many places in Korea as she had.
In Asia she went up the Irawaldi al
most to it's source. She saw everything
in ConstantinOple that occidental ga-
ours are permitted to see; she also
caught glimpse of the King of Slam.
She explored Java and Ceylon and
did the usual thing in Egypt and other
countries on the normal route Of plain
travellers. Altogether, she figured out,
she was in thirty-five different coun-
tries. She waved the Stars and
Stripes, metaphorically, In the form of
her. passport, in the faces Of folk who
were inclined to doubt the propriety Of
letting an American widow go into
the wilderness alone and they let her
through.
Nobody stopped her anywhere and
she didn't have any adventures that
she can write a book about. She visit
ed, she picked up coins and postage
stamps and other substantial souvenirs
Her baggage Is plastered with more
fantastic placards-in all the languages
of the world-than that of any voyager
who has been in this port in many
ears.
