CHAPTER VIII.

Missile loked up with a frown as her
sister entered the room, but Alison took
no notice of her. She walked up straight
to Miss Hardwick, and held out her hand
with one of her pleasant smiles.
II have just made Acquaintance with
your sister," she said, with quiet tact ;
1--WE are going in the garden, as the house
feels so close this lovely day. l shall
be so glad, and am sure Mabel will be,
too, If you will both stay with us to
luncheon"
II thought you knew better, Alison"
Missile interrupted, pettishly, before her
friend could speak. Dear papa is so
nervous and worried about business and
Rogers wretched management that he is
not able to bear luncheon visitors. Eva
understands this, don't you, dearP'
ooh, yes, darling" returned Miss Hard
wick, with effusion; ''but perhaps your
sister, being q stranger and not quite
used to all the ways at The Holms, has
made a mistake. That is very natural"
"Oh, no." returned Alison, trying to
keep cool. IL am making no mistake.
Papa will not be in to luncheon, or my
brother, either, as they have business a
little way out of town. So thought, as
we should be quite alone, that 1t would be
q good opportunity. Mabel, for you to
have your friends"
Missiles pink cheeks became crimson
with vexntiOn; 1t aggravated her to see
Alison taking upon herself so quietly the
duties Of the mistress of the house and
she was still more injured that her faith
er'S movements had not been first NOTED
to herself. She took no notice of her sis
tors remarks, and added no word, as Miss
Hardwick accepted the invitation with
great alacrity. When Alison left them,
after few more words, she listened re-
luctantly to Eva's criticism.
Il had no idea your sister was such
stylish person." she said, when the door
closed on Alison "she has fine eyes and
good figure, and she knows how to suit her
own style In dress. She Is not as pretty
as you, darling, of course. but she has
some claims to good looks"
Alison did not return these moderate
compliments; she was not at all attract
ed by Miss Hardwick. She was a large,
heavy looking girl, rather handsome, but
her face had no play of expression, and
her manner was decidedly artificial.
Alison spent a pleasant hour with her
new friend under the lime trees. She
soon grew interested In Annals artless
talk. She was evidently very young for
her age; though she was seventeen, abe
was still childish in manners. Probably
she had been repressed and kept in ths
background by her sister.
ut is so good of you to let me talk to
YOU" Anna said. Mamma and Eva say

The Territory Of New Mexico, which

years between the old and the new
order Of things, and the old has been
forced to give way. The ancient adobe

DIDN'T REALIZE.
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

How injurious OoHee Really was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and tea
is very like uric acid and is often the
cause of rheumatic attacks which, WHEN
coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:'
II am 65 and have had a good deal
of experience with coffee. l consider it
very injurious and the cause of many
diseases. I am sure it causes decay cf
teeth in children.
when j drank coffee I had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about a
year ago had rheumatism in my arms
and fingers, got so nervous i could not
sleep and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that rnedi-
cines did me no good, decided to quit
coffee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months j fully recovered

antee to Cure Dyspepsia-lf They
Fail the Medicines Costs Nothing.
To unquestionably prove to the peo-
pie of Marshalltown that indigestion
and dyspepsia is durable and that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will effect
the cure. we will furnish the medicine
absolutely free if it fails to give COM
plete satisfaction to anyone giving it
a trial.
The remarkable success of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to the
new and successful method of manu-
facture, whereby the well-known prop
critics of Bismuth, Subnitrate and Pep
sin have been combined with carmin-
atives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifics for acute indiges-
tion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets is manufactured by new pro-
cess which develops its greatest eff
cheney. Pepsin supplies to the diges-
tive apparatus one of the most I'M
portant elements OF the digestive fluid
and exerts a tonic influence upon all
the glands which supply all the other
elements necessary to proper assimila-
ton and digestion.
E The cauninatives add properties
which promptly relieve the disturbances
and pain caused by undigested food.
The perfect combination of these in
gradients make a remedy absolutely
Incompatible and invaluable for the
complete cure of indigestion and dys-
pepsia.
we are so positively certain of this
that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
on our own personal guarantee that
they will either cure you or cost you
