HOW WEAK GIRLS
 MAY GROW INTO z STRONG WOMEN
A Reminder Furnished by dr' Indiana Woman, of the Need ofLooking After the
 Blood Supply.

Every woman at some time in her life needs a tonic.
 At special times unusual demands are made upon her strength. When these are added to the worry and hard work which fall to her lot weakness will result unless the blood is fortified to meet the strain.
 Weak women find in pr. Williams Pink Pills the tonic exactly suited to their needs. Most of the ills with which they suffer are due to blood lessness--a condition which the pills readily cure. They save the girl. who enter into womanhood in bloodless condition. from years of misery and afford prompt and permanent relief to the woman who Is bloodless. and there fore weak.
 Mrs. Victor Rowling, farmers wife. of R. r. D. No. E. Rockville. Parke Co.. Ind, was bloodless from girlhood and suffered with weakness until she took pr. Williams Pink Pills. She says:
 "A few years ago I began to get seriously i'll although I had been ail- ing a long time before. in fact from my girlhood I was not at all strong and was pale and thin. I kept losing strength and had to give up doing my homework. At one time I was obliged to go to bed where I was helpless for the whole winter. No one can know what I suffered. My stomach was in bad condition and I would belch gas and nothing but light food would stay on my stomach. I was reduced in weight and was very much discour- aged.
 q doctorei with local physicians and at last they practically acknowl- edeged that they could not cure ulc. My husband read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills and wanted me to try them but I objected and 1t was some time before he could get me to do so. After taking a few boxes noticed I was getting stronger and later was able to sit up in bed. continued taking the pills until was entirely cured. l think that pr. Williams Pink Piils saved my life"
 Thousands of women have used Dr Williams Pink Pills with the most gratifying results and no other medi- cine is so highly praised by them:
 Our booklet "Plain Talks to Wo- men," explains fully why Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills are of benefit t5 wo- men of all ages and is mailed freq upon request.
 These pf:&s are sold by all druggists: or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt Of price, 50 cents per box: six boxes for S2.5O. by the pr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady N. Y.

CHAPTER XII. Tha Glwa

IuG OAues
 The expedition to Chicago proved futile. When the Marquis de Sarazin called on Mrs. Van Booss. he was in- formed that she had gone to Washing ton to attend a wedding. He now be- gan to fear that this woman was an ignis fatuus. and returned immediate ly to New York. From New York he was spared hotel life--he lived in the cars. His mind was a prey to anx- iety and impatience, and the chill of delay had begun to settle on his spir- its. As he was borne along. ho noted indifferently the log houses, the great woods. the wide stretches of water, especially where the shining Susque- hanna winds inland like an arm of the sea, and the train crosses the water on low embankment or bridge of tres- ties. which conveys the impression of being aboard a ship in a railway car riage.
 ! Arriving at Washington. the trav- eler drove direct to Willard's Hotel, and inquired for Mrs. Van Booss He was informed that Mrs. Van Booss was spending the day at Mount Vernon, but would be back to dinner. Her pursuer proceeded to establish himself at the hotel; at any rate. he and the purchaser of the necklace would be under the same roof. After lunch he set out to visit the Capitol, a truly no- ble building; next he visited the splen- did Library of Congress; then he walk ed leisurely back down Pennsylvania Avenue in order to pass the tagging hours; but 1t was only o'clock. and as yet there was no sign of the return of Mrs. Van Booss; so he went and found a seat in the pretty green square, opposite the White House. There he smoked many cigarettes, and he made up his mind that. once he had secured the prize. he would cable home and return by the first steamer. On the >pesent occasion he had come to fetch the recklace-rSd rot to visit the States. The lofty dining room at the Willard, With its green marble pillars. green hangings and palms. was crowded when the Marquis de Sarazin was ushered to a place.
 During the course of an elaborate menu, his eyes roved from table to table in eager search of Aunt Dos sie," stout lady with hair like scram- bled eggs" There were various con vival parties. but he could not ident- fly her. though he had been assured that she was now in the hotel. Later on, as he sat in the long corridor. watching people pass to and fro, he requested a waiter to take his card to Mrs. Van Booss. After a consid- erable delay the man returned and said-p

CHAPTER xL. Swvnwmehx.

With the intention of visiting Mrs. Van Booss, Paul de Sarazin re-enter- ed his hanson, and was presently bowling up Fifth Avenue, past that architectural masterpiece, the new library: past Delmonico's the celebrat- ed. and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
 He found that his destination was solid brown-stone house, not very far from the golden statue of General sherman. portly black man-servant opened the door, and in reply to a question said
