Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake Of other suffer-
ing women l 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 as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing woman's ills such as infamma-
ton, liberation, fibroid tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period Of change of life.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
and always helpful

sight. except to go to the kitchen for
something to eat for her. That very
day Bella got the doctor to order ale
for Aunt Selma (oh. yes; the doctor
could come in; Dal said 1T was all g.
coming in. and nothing going out)
and she had three pints Of Bass. and
all in one day
Bella's conduct to Jim was disgrace
full She snubbed him, ignored him,
tramped on him, and Jim was growing
positively flabby. He spent most of
his time writing letters to the board
Of health and playing solitaire. He
was pathetic figure.
Well. we went to bed fairly early.
Bella had massaged Aunt Selina's face
and rubbed in cold cream. Anne and
Dallas had compromised on which
window should be open in their bed
room. and the men had matched to
see who should look at the furnace.
I did not expect to sleep, but the cold
night air had done its work. and l
was asleep almost Immediately.
Some time during the early part Of
the night I wakened, and. after turn
ing and twisting uneasily, l realized
that was cold. The couch In Bella's
dressing room was comfortable
enough. but narrow and low. l re-
member distinctly (that was what was
SO maddening: Everybody thought I
dreamed it)-I remember getting an
eiderdown comfort that was folded at
my feet, and pulling 1t up around me.
In the luxury of its warmth l snug
gled down and went to sleep almost
instantly. 1t seemed to me had slept
for hours. but 1t was probably an hour
or less, when something reused me.
The room was perfectly dark. and
there was not a sound save the faint
ticking of the clock, but l was wide
awake.
And then came the incident that in
its ghastly, horrible absurdity made
| the rest Of the people shout with
laughter the next day. 1t was not
funny then. For suddenly the elder
down comfort began to slip. I heard
no footstep, not the slightest sound
approaching me, but the comfort
moved; from my chin. inch by inch. it
slipped to my shoulders; awfully, in
could feel my blood gather around my
heart. leaving me cold and nerveless.
AS 1t passed my hands l gave an in
voluntary clutch for it. to feel 1t slip
away from my fingers. Then the full
horror of the situation took hold OF
me: as the comfort slid past my feet
I sat up and screamed at the top OF
my voice.
OF course. people came running in
in all sorts Of things. l was still sit
ting up. declaring l had seen ghost
and that the house was haunted. Dal-
las was struggling for the second arm
hole of his dressing gown, and Bella
had already turned on the lights. They
said had had a nightmare, and not to
sleep on my back. and perhaps l was
taking grippe.
And just then we heard Jimmy run
down the stairs, and fall over some
thing, almost breaking his wrist. 1t
was the eiderdown comfort, halfway
up the studio staircase!

CHAPTER XII. (continued.)

'T wish you would all go out" said
wearily. "If every man in the house
says he didn't try to get over to the
next roof last night, well and good.
But you might look and see II the
board is still lying where it fell"
There was an instantaneous rush
for the window. and a seconds pause.
Then Jimmy's voice. incredulous.
Awed:
well. I'll be-blessed. There's the
board!"
l stayed in my room all that day
My head really ached and then, too, I
did not care to meet Mr.. HARRISON. II
would have to come: realized that
. meeting was indxitable. but I want
ed time to think how l would meet
him. 1t would be impossible to cut
him, without rousing the curiosity Of
the others to fever pitch: and 1t was
equally impossible to ignore the dis
graceful episode on the stairs. AS 1t
happened, however. I need not have

CHAPTER XIII.
He Does Not Deny X.


Aunt Selma got up the next morn
ing and Jim told her all the strange
things that had been happening. She
fixed on Flanagan. of course, al
though she still suspected Betty Of
her watch and other valuables. The
incident of the comfort she called
nervous Indigestion and bad hours.
She spent the entire day going
through the storeroom and linen
closets. and running her fingers over
things for dust. Whenever she found
any she looked at me, drew long
breath, and said, Poor James," 1t
was maddening. And when she went
through his clothes and found some
buttons Off (Jim didn't keep a man,
and Takahiro had stopped at his
boots) she looked at me quite awfully.
His mother was q perfect house
keeper" she said. James was brought
up in clothes with the buttons on, put
on clean shelves"
Didn't they put them on him?" I
asked. almost Historically. 1t had
been a bad morning, after a worse
night Every one had found fault
with the breakfast. and they struggled
down one at a time until l was fran
tic. Then Flanagan had talked at
me about the pearls, and, Mr.. Harbi-
son had said. Good morning." very
stiffly, and nearly ratified the inside OF
the furnace out.
Early in the morning. too, over
heard a scrap of conversation be-
tween the policeman and our gentle
man adventurer from South America.
Something had gone wrong with the
telephone and Mr.. HARRISON was fuss
ing over 1t with a screw driver and a
pair of scissors-all the tools he
could find. Flanagan was lifting rugs
to shake them on the roof-Bellas or

inquired absently, evidently with the
screw-driver in his mouth.

hibition party of Connecticut, to the
effect that he, on the ground that
the organization favored the prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic, had re-
fused to deliver an address of well

Manchester next July. The gov
ernor said:
