Vegetable Compound has done for me

restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women am willing to make my
trouble public SO you may publish
this letter."-MRS. CHAS. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia e,
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and.
as Mrs. Barclay says,it is worth noun
tains of gold I" to suffering women.

TOTO thief what would be
the end of it all?
What did it matter? Surely he,
who knew the world wherein he lived
and moved and had his being, knew
bitter well the worth of its verdicts.
The world might go hang, for all he
cared. At least his life was his own,
whether to make or to mar, and he
had not to answer for it to any power
this side of the gates of darkness
And if by any act of his the world
should be given a man and a woman in
exchange for a thief and an idler, per-
haps in the final reckoning his life
might not be accounted altogether
wasted. 49,.

He heard no response. The long
cleaning folds OF the portieres hung
motionless. Still, sharp and staccato
clatter of hoofs that had risen in the
street, might have drowned her voice.

loudly.
The silence sang sibilant in his
ears; and he grew conscious of a
sense of anxiety and fear sitting in
it's intensity.

swift gesture he flung the hangings

The door closed behind the over

stood in the hallway, troubled, appre-

vision clouded by the memory of the
girl as he had seen her only few
minutes since; as she had stood be-
meath the chandelier, after acting
upon her primary clear-headed impulse
to give her rescuer the aid of the

CHAPTER XII.
On Reconsideration,

Gently but with decision Sergt.
Hickey set his face against the allure
ment of his wine-cup and the impor-
tunities of his fellow-officers.
He was tired, he affirmed with a
weary nod; the lateness of the hour
rendered him quite indisposed for con-
vivial dalliance. Even the sight of
O'Hagan, seduction incarnated, in the
vestibule, a bottle under either arm,
clutching a box of cigars jealousy
with both hands, failed to move the
temperate soul.
NAH" he waved temptation aside
with a gesture of finality. 81 don't
guess I'll take nothin' tonight, thanks.

And, wheeling, shaped course for
Broadway.
The early morning air breathed chill
but grateful to his fevered brow. Odd
ly enough, in view of the fact that he
had INDUCED in no very violent exer-
cise he found himself perspiring pro-

pause. removing his hat and utilizing
a large soiled bandana with grim
abandon
At such times his face would be up
turned, eyes trained upon the dim in
sky. And he would sigh profoundly
not the furnace sigh of lover think
ing of his mistress, but the heartfelt
and moving sigh of the man of years
and cares who has drunk deep of that
cup of bitterness called Unappreciated
Genius.
