Night after night she came nome 10

Stunned Woman Associates
Perhaps she might have formed an
intimate friendship with fellow
worker and asked a woman to share
her apartment But Marie was SEN
sitive in the extreme. No woman
should know of her loneliness, of the
emptiness of her life, of the fact that
no man came to WOO!
With envy freezing the very blood
in her veins she watched other work
ers in the Magasins du Louvre dis
play, first, the betrothal ring, and
then the wedding ring, and finally
take their departure for the new home
furnished by young husband. Marie
looked at the hand on which no man
had ever placed a ring. All, there
was a wrinkle, She glanced at her
mirror. Another wrinkle in her face
answered Then the implacable mir
ror showed her a silver hair
That night she wrote letter. the
first of hundreds upon hundreds of
anonymous letters, done with a pen
dipped in venom; evil letters, all of
them registering the outpourings of
a jealous soul-jealous of not one in

of the happiness denied her.

husbands of honest wives. And wher-
ever they went they scattered distrust

NO CHANCE TO GO WRONG
Statement of Beauty Doctor May Have

Woman

Never was Marie suspected of
causing all this trouble. Who would
suspect the demure, silent woman OF
thirty who never varied the routine
of her existence? Truly was Marie
Bourette the lily of the Magasins du
Louvre, the old maid content with
her lot, leading a placid life undis-
turbed by domestic annoyances. Lit
tie did her world understand Marie
Bourette, and never did it read what
lay behind her little gray eyes watch
ing for Love, watching. but ever in
vain.
At last a man came into Marie
Bourette's life, but oh, he came
such a little way and he tarried so
short a time Any girl in the Maya
sins du Louvre except Marie Bour-
cite, with her love-starved heart,
would have understood the situation
and sent him gayly on his way. But
not Marie! Her heart leaped and
tried to feed on that which never was
offered
This mans name was Doudieux. He
was a furniture manufacturer who
sometimes came to make purchases at
the shop where Marie worked. Also
he was five years Marie's junior, a
gay, debonnair Partisan youth in
search of adventures, particularly of
the heart.
In 1901 he first began making pur-
chases of Marie, smiling upon her as
a man will when in search of the best
for his money when shopping. Grad
ualy the smiles became pleasant
words, and one evening, being, as we
said before, young man set upon
adventures, he asked Marie to meet
him at cafe. There were other trysts
at other cafes, but all of the most In
nocent sort. Marie was not seeking
adventure, not she, and when young
Doudieux discovered this fact he

One Record Made by Women.

Through the activity of women, in
the anti-tuberculosis campaign, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment
of tuberculosis have been erected;
travelling libraries have been circu-
lated, posters, circulars and other
kinds of literature have been distrib-
uted to the number of millions of
pieces, thousands of lectures have
been given, large sums of money have
been secured, hundreds of needy cases
have been helped; tuberculosis work
has been started in many communi-
ties where no movement had existed /;
and millions of women have learned
the dangers and methods of proven.
ton of tuberculosis. The work of the
women extends from the drawing room
of the rich to the homes of the poor
and embraces all classes, including the
factory girl and millionaire. During
the coming year special campaign OF
lectures to women will be carried or
in all parts of the United States.

Little. but, Oh, NV!

Senator Smoot of Utah tells a story
on the late E. H. Hartman, which
sounds somewhat familiar. He says
that when the Salt Lake cutoff was
completed Mr.. Hartman took a large
party of big railroad men out to it,
They had their pictures taken at
the right spot scenically. Mr.. Harri-
man stood at one end of the. group.
When the pictures were printed and
the photographer brought them around
the railroad men examined them.

with this phantom-love walks death,
until at last they clasp hands over

In 1900 there was employed at the
Magasins du Louvre a saleswoman
named Marie Bourette, writes a Paris
correspondent of the New York
World. She was regarded as a most
exemplary employee, quiet and de-
mure of manner, regular and punctual
in reporting for duty. 1t was known,
too, that she possessed a small in

Marie had none dependent upon her.

desirable little apartment on the
Boulevard Voltaire. Neighbor and

workers, all admired the regularity of
her habits and envied her freedom
from domestic responsibilities and
carking cares.
Little did they dream that in her
orderly apartment this woman of thir-

loneliness. Marie was not then "a

The trial has been the criminal sem
sation of the year in Paris, not so
much because of the prominence of

crime did not spring from jealousy

all who had tasted happiness She
did not love Doudieux- He had never
professed to love her. But he repre-
scented the one man who had come
into her life, the one man who might
have given her the happiness she
saw all around her. And because he
had not. because her heart was
starved and no hand fed it, she plotted
the unhappiness and the death of all
who had tasted the joy that was de-
MED to her.

Are Appreciated by Louisa People

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have
tried one remedy arter another,
finding only temporary benefit. This
is discouraging, but there is one
special kidney medicine that cures
permanently and there is plenty OF
proof right here in Louisa.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
Mrs. Margaret Holley, of Louisa
KY, says: 81 believe that Id ana

ment when | say that Doan's Kid
ney Pills are all they are claimed to
be. AS am getting well along in
years, | never expect to be entire
ly free from kidney trouble, l, how
ever, can say that Doan's Kidney
Pills have given me great relief
from backache and other kidney
disorders. My neighbors have also
taken this remedy with the same
great success. | am only too pleas
ed to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills to other sufferers in Louisa. ("
Mrs. Holley gave the above testi-
monial in January 1908. and con-
firmed it on June 81, 1909, saying:

We often wonder why the Con-
gressmen who want to CIRCULATE"
various outrageous institutions in
the United States do not go after
the express companies. There is no
organization in the country today
that is imposing upon the public to
greater extent than these COM
panies. Charging exorbitant prices
they give the poorest sort of SER
vice. No dependence can be put in
the prompt and safe service which
they promise and which is their only
excuse for robbing the people on
rates. In busy seasons and on rush
orders the service is particularly
rotten. The companies ray small
wages and overwork their employees
and pocket millions of dollars in
profits.
