Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her"
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, n. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. 10
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take It
according to directions, and II
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

Pretty soon the woman burst out
again.

and pointed to the marquis.
Whose hand but his? And why?
Because he had plotted to blast my
good name in your eyes and to re

stood between his marriage with you,
between him and the Darracourt es-
tates and money!"
Lucille uttered a low cry of des-

awful calmness-the calmness of a
judge passing sentence upon the

He paused to regain his breath,
and, still holding the marquis, went
on again:
"The moment / heard from Susie's

he looked at her-"forgot me soon,

With low cry of anguish she
threw herself at his feet.
Harry! Harry" broke from her
white lips, ''have pity on me! For

''To-save mel"
Yes, yes! Oh, Harry, do not look

Harry stood trembling and speech

to the marquis.
