Big Sandy, Tenn.-"Every two
weeks writes Mrs. Lucy Cantrell, of
this place, 'I had to go to bed and
stay there several days. 1 suffered un-
told misery. Nothing seemed to help
me. until 1 tried Cardui, the woman's
tonic Although 1 had been afflicted
with womanly weaknesses for seven
years before 1 took Cardui Cardui
helped me more than anything else
ever did. 1t is surely the best tonic for
women on EARTH
For more than half a century, Car

fitting wsenen, suffering from the vari-
Gus ailments peculiar to their sex.
Because your case may be difficult
one. do not continue to suffer, without
giving Cardui trial 1t certainly has
helped thousands of other women. Why
not you?
You need not fear to take Cardui,
freely and regularly, and for as long a
time as you feel it helps you. 1t is

Two or three names were given. A

| board letters, took up half the page
She never folg got how that page
looked At any time in her after life
she could reproduce it, even to the
blurred lines under the heavy black
type The paper was fresh from the
press, and the odor of printers ink was
ever afterward associated with that
hour
The newsboys were still crying the
extras in the street beliw. EXTRA!
SPECIAL EXTRAlr The shrilt cries
were mingled with the sounds of dist
art hand-organ.
There were two other trains he might
have taken-and this one. From the
moment she had first glanced at the
paper, she felt with a fearful certainty
that it had been this one.
And now all the unkindness and cold
ness, and INTOLERANCE that she had ever
felt for him was burning itself into
he; brain.
Only yesterday, her birthday. he had
brought her a great box of roses. Awk-
wardly and clumsily, as was his way,
he had given them to her, and she had
laid them aside with perfunctory
thanks and an impatient disdain of his
awkwardness.
And then~s she thought of the letter
she had written her sister few days
before. ooh, Madge, 1 have come to
think that one could forgive a man al
most anything but stupidity. That is
the one hopeless objectionable thing.
There is no -wretchedness so great as
that Of a woman married to a man that
she knows is a fool"
That she had not sent the letter gave
her little comfort, for she had des-
troyed it through no sense of loyalty
to him, but from the same instinct
which propmts us to conceal our
wounds.
The telephone in the hall rang out
sharply. There was a little pause and
then it rang again-a loud, impatient
ring. But she did not move: she sat
with clasped hands, here eyes staring
vacantly toward the hall. They want
ed to tell her of his death. She would
not let them. She knew it already;
she would not hear it put into words.
The bell rang again and yet again |
witha ngry persistency, and Sc list
ened with a curious sense of defiance !

When, at length, it ceased, she pictured
them bringing him home to her, still
and lifeless and so piteously cold.
RemOrse.
A sickening wave of remorse swept
over her. Oh, that she might kneel be-
side him and kiss his hands-the hands
at which in her heart she had so often
sneered.
What if they were large and thick
and awkward, they were kindly, hon
est hands And now. perhaps, they
were burned or crushed beyond recog-
milton. If she might only have .
chance to atone, to make some restitu-
ton for all these years of coldness and
. Indifference. And it had been worse
than indifference, it had been derision
and disdain, so thinly yelled that she
could not but know how often and how
4deply she had wounded him.
How relentless had been her cruelty
She who could never bear that any
creature or thing should suffer; whose
heart went out to every friendless dog,
to every poor old dray horse-yet to
this man, this kind, this simple man
who loved her, she had been without
pity
She slipped down >on her knees be-
side the chair 1t was hardly a prayer
tences that she murmured: 1t had been
years since she had prayed. But now
she was following the primitive instinct
that is in us all-the seeking of some
supreme power in the moment of great
est need.
long time she knelt there only
vaguely conscious that the chafrarm
was pressing painfully against her
cheek, and that her nervous, trembling
fingers were tearing the braid of the
upholstery.
There was a loud closing of a door
and the sound of steps in the hall be-
low. Slow, heavy steps-her husbands.
She stood up straight and still. The
steps came nearer. Now they were on
the stairs. Amid the whirl of emotions
that swept over her, she was clearly
conscious of but one thing-a desire to
escape, to gain time. The reaction had
been too sudden, she could not face it
now. With a quick movement she
thrust the paper behind the couch and
threw herself down as though asleep.
The door opened. There was a mo

the door and Il careful tiptoeing across
the room-the ponderous tiptoeing of

With all her strength she fought it.

to think of the things she had thought

She sat up quickly-an involuntary
movement, physical protest at the in
