ing whether she could keep them.
She, his darling, the child whom he
had seen grow to womanhood, had
been got hold of by one of these Rit-
ualists, and her outlook twisted. But
he would see to it that she changed
with the influence of a man over a
girl. She had grown prettier since
parting. When first he saw her that
morning the depth and purity of her
expression had struck him as some
thing almost, holy. She had that deep
underlying principle which Laura had
always lacked.
Laura, She had stood before him
that day like an incarnation of every
thing evil. How came she there :?
How came such as his darling to be
acquainted with such as she?
Mrs. Trent!
God help Trentr he said to him
self with a shrug.
And meanwhile, Laura was being
whirled along the road to Yeominis-
ter: and in that town she paid a visit
to chemists shop in search of new
remedies for insomnia She did
something else. She bought stamp
ed correspondence card, wrote a mes
sage therein, sealed, addressed and
posted it, before she left the place.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it he's been
curing woman'S ills such as inf1amma-
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.

Such had been the situation before
lunch. Afterwards the position was
little difficult. Mrs. Bardsley's idea
Of hospitality would not allow her to
turn out the unfortunate sutton that
day. She said he must remain that
night, at least. It was inconsiderate
Of Jem to go off and leave him upon
their hands for entertainment. But
she promised Vernon that there
should be no more tete-a-tete inter-
views, and offered to drive her visit
or out in the afternoon, to show him
some of the pretty surrounding coun-
try.
And the miracle had happened.
Lionel had sat down in gloom to send
line to his hotel, saying that he
was returning the next day; and,
rising, had found himself looking in
to the face of his missing wife.
Her appearance altered the whole
aspect of things. But he could not
make UP his mind what, exactly,
should be his order of procedure.
The feelings with which he had re-
cognized her had been so compound
ed of horror and of relief, that he
could not realize their true nature
Now that the effervescence began to
subside, he found himself faced by a
difficult problem. Laura was living
as the wife of another man. How
far better to leave her so, and say
nothing about it. But, for his own
purposes, it was essential that a
divorce should be obtained. He did
not want to be merciless. He did
not want to have Laura thrown upon
the world, destitute. He did not
know what to do.

"CasiI-way" Ferry.

The Pee Dee Advocate, which has
Il fondness for such things, digs
from the journal of Rev. Evan
Pugh. dated in the years 1850 and
1891. some data about "Cash-way"
ferry, and in the course of its in
yestigations finds that the historic
ferry is known as "Cash-way" in
stead of "Cashuay" or "Cashua." In

syllable than the last, and if we
had any assurance that the first
syllable would never give us any
more trouble we would lose interest

The Advocate:
The following entries appear in
the journal of Rev. Evan Pugh, a
preacher and patriot of the Revolu-
ton, in 1880 and 1881:

BY voting $4,000 in bonds for

Dillon has taken a long step for

Cling little way-station, occupying
an unimportant place on the map
of the state. 1t has thrown off viii
lage airs and manners and is be-
coming a city OF some pretensions.
Those of us who live here year af-

tent of it's development. We feel
very much like the man who begins
married life in a three room cot

compare its present size with what

DILLON, $. G.. JUNE 1, 1911

Those who have been watching
the progress of the Mexican revolu-
ton will feel sense of relief at
its sudden and successful ending.
The resignation of Diaz was the
end sought by the revolutionists
and this having been accomplished
the other demands of the erstwhile
provisional government will be con-
ceded in regular order. After so
years as the undisputed ruler of
the republic, Diaz's banishment
under such distressing circumstan-
cCs is all the more pathetic, but if
he had been less autocratic in spirit
he might have foreseen and avoid
cd the unhappy ending that was to
mark such brilliant career. A
revomtionist himself when he came
into power as president of the re-
lb'ic. he is but drinking to the
'gS the cup OF bitterness which
y Id to the lips of others, and
.">haps after all the unhappy cir
cImstdnces which forced his retire
ment is but the just retribution
which overtakes those whose path
way to glory is bathed in the
blood of hapless enemies. Upon
the shoulder of Madero rests
responsibility which few men would
care to assume. Rehabilitating a
country infested with bandits and
StrewL with the wreckage of war is
not an easy task, but no ordinary
man could have done what Madero
has done in the past few months,
and despite the fact that he is con-
stantly referred to as a weakling
without intellect or force of char
acter we have deep conviction
that he will display just as much
ingenuity in 'tuilding up as he
showed in @lrlng down the for
tunes of his country

In his opening address our presid-

presented very comprehensive

throughout the district This aided
much in giving more definite direc-

The church membership of Marion
district is S,146, while the Sunday
School enrolment is only 70 per

task this year should be to enroll

that our Sunday School must seek
