TO feel better when L had taken only

Why will women take chances with
an operation or drag out a sickly,
half-hearted existence, missing three
fourths Of the joy of living, when they
can find health in Lydia Z. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
For thirty years it has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
has cured thousands of women who
have been troubled with such all
ments as displacements, Inflammation,
liberation, fbroid tumors, irregulari-
ties, periodic pains, backache, indiges-
tion, and nervous prostration.
If you have the slightest doubt
that Lydia IL. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound will help you,
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass, for advice. Your letter
will be absolutely confidential,
and the advice free.

Though the plowshare cut through

Though It pass DER the graves of the

It Is the will of the Lord; and His

So he entered the house: and the
hum of the wheel and the singing
Suddenly ceased; for Priscilla, aroused
by his step on the threshold,
Rose as he entered, and gave him her
hand. In signal Of welcome,
Saying, II knew 1t was you, when
heard your step in the passage;
For was thinking of you, as | sat
there singing and spinning"
Awkward and dumb with delight, that
a thought of him had been mingled
Thus In the sacred psalm. that came
from the heart of the maiden.
Silent before her he stood, and gave
her the flowers for an answer,
Finding no words for his thought. He
remembered that day in the
winter,
After the first great snow, when he
broke path from the village,
Keeling and plunging along through
the drifts that encountered the
doorway,
Stamping the snow from his feet as
he entered the house, and Priscilla
Laughed at his snowy locks, and gave
him seat by the Preside.
Grateful and pleased to know he had
thought of her In the snow-storm.
Had he but spoken then, perhaps not
In vain had he spoken;
Now 1t was all too late; the golden mo-
ment had vanished!
So he stood there abashed, and gave
her the flowers for an answer.
Then they sat down and talked of
the birds and the beautiful spring
time,
Talked of their friends at home. and
the Mayfower that sailed on the
morrow.
Il have been thinking all day." said
gently the Puritan maiden,
Dreaming all night. and thinking all
day, of the hedge-rows Of Eng
land
They are in blossom now, and the
country is all like a garden;
Thinking Of lanes and fields, and the
song of the lark and the linnet,
Seeing the village street, and familiar
faces of neighbors
Going about as of old, and stopping
to gossip together,
And, at the end of the street, the VII
lage church, with the ivy
the old gray tower, and the
quiet graves In the churchyard.

that 1t was not worth cultivation, 1t
served as an excuse She wrote for
circulars from singing masters, en-

comfortable boarding house In the

But until Molly Dobson's haunting
words were spoken Eliza had not real
ly considered matrimony as possible
elimination of her city visit. Molly's
words, however, put an idea into her
head. Why not pretend, after few
weeks away from home. that she was
engaged? 1t would be fun to write
The letters describing the lucky man,
the things they did together and their
plans for the future. Then, later,
Eliza thought, she could write to say
that the engagement was broken, and
could return home heart-free.
And II she thought I really had
been engaged" thought Eliza, IL
shouldn't care how much that silly
little Molly did tease me. And 1t
won't exactly be lie. I'll pick out
some nice man at the boarding house,
and pretend he's the one"
With this justification for her pro-
posed action, and with the excitement
of her plan flushing her tanned cheeks
and Frightening her soft brown eyes,
Eliza walked into Mrs. Benson
Browns rather shabby boarding house
that same evening for dinner.
She looked furtively from one end OF
the lone crowded table to the other to
find the chosen man. Three or four
middle aged women who looked as II

well. goodbye. Eliza, hope you'll
have good time" said pert little
Molly Dobson, Haunting her recently
acquired diamond solitaire ring in the
sunshine. And l hope" she teased,
that you'll come home engaged, too,
TO some nice city man. Write and tell
US all about It."
Molly laughed, as II the idea Of
Eliza's becoming engaged were a huge
Joke. ELIAS uncle, John Robinson,
patted her shoulder with embarrass-
ment and her Aunt Emma Robinson
tried to smile naturally. The station
master whistled with forced cheerful
ness.
THAT Molly Dobsons an awful
mean GIRL" he said to himself.
A moment later Eliza jumped
aboard the train that was to take her
to the city, and before long the little
group OF friends on the station was
Just blur in the distance.
Eliza was twenty-eight and she had
determined to go to the city for few
months Of excitement. The comfort
able routine OF her life at Dayville,
where she had lived with her aunt
and uncle from babyhood, had begun
to pail. Her days were never empty.
There were active hours spent out of
doors planting and pruning flowers
and vegetables and tending her chick
ems and ducks; and other active hours
spent In the pleasant, sunny kitchen
over savory preserve kettles or the
weeks fragrant baking. There were
long placid evenings on the vine-cov-
cred piazza under the stars or be-
side the glowing sitting-room stove,
with the doing Uncle John and chat
tering Aunt Emma and purring Tabby
for companions. There were occa-
sional excursions-picnics and carry
all drives and once In while a jaunt
with one OF the young men of the vii
lage. But Eliza knew that the years
to come would be identical with the
years that had passed, and she grew
disconnected
1t was this perfectly comfortable
state Of affairs but wholly uncomfort-
able state of mind that had induced
Eliza to set forth on the first real ad-
venture Of her life. She made her
voice an excuse; 1t was a sweet. light

He was a man Of honor, of noble and
generous nature;
Though he was rough, he was kindly;
she knew how during the winter
He had attended the sick, with a hard

cause he was little of stature;
For he was great OF heart, magnani-
nous, courtly, courageous;
Any woman in Plymouth, nay, any
woman in England,
Might be happy and proud to be called
the wife of Miles Standish
But as he warmed and glowed. in
his simple and eloquent language,
Quite forgetful of SELF and full of the
praise of his rival,
Archly the maiden smiled, and, with
eyes overrunning with laughter.
Said in tremulous voice, why don't
you speak for yourself, John?"

SO very eager to wed me.


Why does he not come himself. and
take the trouble to WOO me?
II am not worth the wooing. surely
am not worth the winning!"
Then John Alden began explaining
and smoothing the matter,
Making 1t worse as he went, by say
ing the Captain was busy
Had no time for such things;-such
things! the words grating harshly
Fell on the ear of Priscilla; and swift
as a flash she made answer:
HAS he no time for such things, as
you call 1t. before he is married,
Would he be likely to find it, or make
1t, after the wedding?
That Is the way with you men; you
don't understand us, you can not.
When you have made up your minds,
after thinking of this one and
that one,
Choosing, selecting. rejecting. COM
pairing one with another,
Then you make known your desire,
with abrupt and sudden avowal.
And are offended and hurt, and indig-
nant perhaps, that woman
Does not respond at once to a love
that she never suspected,
Does not attain at bound the height
to which you have been climbing.
This is not right nor just: for surely
a womans affection
Is not thing to be asked for, and
had for only the asking.
When one is truly in love, one not
only says it, but shows it.
Had he but waited while, had he
only showed that he loved me,
Even this Captain of yours-who
knows?-at last might have won

Old and rough as he is; but now II
never can happen"
Still John Alden went on, unheeding

Urging the suit Of his friend, explain.

Spoke Of his courage and skill, and OF
all his battles in Flanders,
How with the people of God he had
chosen to suffer affiiction,
How, in return for his zeal, they had
made him Captain of Plymouth;
He was a gentleman born, could trace
his pedigree plainly
Back to Hugh Standish of Duxbury
Hall. in Lancashire, England, .
Who was the son OF Ralph, and the
the grandson of Thurston de

Kind are the people live with, and
dear to me my religion;
Still my heart Is so sad. that I wish
myself back in Old England.
You will say 1t Is wrong. but can not

Thereupon answered the youth: I'm

Thus he delivered his message, the
dexterous writer of letters
Did not embellish the theme, nor ar
ray 1t in beautiful phrases,
But came straight to the point, and
blurted 1t out like a schoolboy;
Even the Captain himself could hard
ly have said 1t more bluntly.
Mute with amazement and sorrow,
Priscilla, the Puritan maiden,
Looked into Alden's face, her eyes
dilated with wonder,
Feeling his words like a blow, that
stunned her and rendered her
speechless;
Till at length she exclaimed, inter
rupting the ominous silence:
