faces Of fugitive passers-by.
He was only free to 60 anywhere;
but these people had their homes
to 60 to, each his separate "peniten-
tiary," where there were warmth and
food and human things to talk to.
He shut his eyes for an instant and
started bravely up the h1lly street that
led to First avenue. Then suddenly
strange thing happened. He forgot
his misery and his wretched home
sickness. At first he couldn't realize
what the influence was, then he rec
ognized the soothing and thirst+1nspir-
ing smell Of hops that poured over
him like hot breath from the brew
ery on the next street This prompted
q thought which was Immediately fol.
lowed by sharp movement.
Mulcahy minded him OF the! faded
ve-dollar bill he had in his pocket,
the last bounty OF the good home
across the river. He pulled It out and
looked at it.
It represented two weeks and halt
of life; that is, he calculated that
while he was looking for a job it
would provide food and shelter for him.
Il he couldn't find a job-but that
thought ended with look toward the
river; and again he saw the pen, IS
and another thought occurred to him.
If he didn't ind anything to do. II
could go back to the pen" and beg
them to take him in. No, he couldn't
do that He squared his ragged
shoulders as if trying to rise superior
to the thought, for there was a rem,
nant of pride in Mulcahy, albeit time
and desperate struggle to keep his
feet on the globe had frayed its
edges.
No, he determined to go back there
honorably, as he had left. He might
get job shoveling snow-but alas. il
was one Of those cherries Christ
masses, and nature had not even sup
piled the people out of work with
snow to shovel.
Mulcahy had worked all his life
He was fifty now, and, as he unrolleG
the long catalogue Of calamity which
other people might have called his
career, he found that the only veal
of his life that had been a happy one
was his last in Jail. 1t had started
merrily even, for, after his outraged
pride had revolted at the idea of be
ing arrested for his slight connection
with the robbery, comfort came swift
y with the thought that he was being
punished for omission rather thar
commission.

eating the Van Twiller mansion,
whittier Violet was escorted by her
ragged friend. ~
Afterward, when Mulcahy left her
standing at the door of her home
waving at him and smiling in her
sweet, frank way, he wondered how
he had found it in his heart to steal
the necklace; but there it was in
his hand, still warm from contact with
her throat =:
Then he darted away from the
street, and, clasping the locket tightly,
flew to the first police station and
gave himself up. e..
The Judge did not conceal his dis
gust when he learned that Mulcahy
had robbed a child; and when he
uttered sternly, six months on the
island for him." he marveled at the
brutality of man who could smile at
the sentence. $3.50. ": r
Meantime, Violet Van Twiller had
been received with the tears and re-
joicings Of hysterical and loving fam
lily and diligently Intercepted con-
corning the events of the evening.
= Over and over again she repeated
the story of the "kind, ragged gentle
man who had bought her candy and
soda and had found her home for her.
Later, Mr.. Van Twiller discovered
that Violet had mysteriously lost her
locket; but, though he suspected her
strange friend, he was so grateful to
the ragged gentleman" that the next
day he advertised in all the papers
that he wished to reward the person
who had restored his daughter to her
family. :..4e-.slg
But Malcahy never learned Of this
golden opportunity which might have
given him new start in life, though
he gave the officer who accompanied
him to the island the name and adj
dress Of the little owner Of the neck
lace, and 1t was sent to her.

How to Escape the Bad
Effects of March Weather

| ing the winter and have not recovered
your former health and strength, you
surely need Peruna. Peruna restores
the appetite. Peruna inceases the di
gestive powers. Peruna regulates tn,
bowels. Peruna strengthens the nerv,
centers. Peruna does all these things
and without any untoward results. No
family should allow themselves to be
without Peruna during the month OF
March.
The symptoms OF grip are; First
begins with cold, not due TO exposure
Second, number of people attacked
at same time. Third, confined chiefly
to head and respiratory organs. Fourth,
accompanied by high fever for several
days. Fifth, serious after effects
Convalescence slow. ..-..-1
The experiences of the people that
Peruna is remedy for grip have been
uniformly good Very few if any have
been disappointed in Peruna as grip
remedy.
Mr.. C.. o. Peterson of No. 1927 n. Ham
ilton avenue, Chicago, Illinois, had a
severe attack of the grip, which left him
very weak. He was in condition that
he was unable to do any work. He
began TO take Peruna and in two weeks
was strong and well, The consequence
is he always keeps Peruna in his home.
Mr.. George Z. Pratt, No. s2s 10th
street, Moline, Illinois, writes, concerning
his wife: She had had the grip. After
using two bottles OF Peruna, she was
greatly relieved. So much so that she
continued the treatment for short time,

/ when she was thoroughly cured. After
noting the effect that Peruna had IN the
case of his wife, Mr.. Pratt took the
medicine himself for the grip. Not,
however, until after he had taken several
other remedies without any improve
ment. The Pcruna completely cured him.
Mr.. G. j. Powers, No. 1881 Williams
street, Denver, Colorado, says that the
grip had left him very weak. He took
Peruna and at once he began TO gain
strength and was finally cured Since
then when | do not feel well or have
taken cold, | always take Peruna
and it never disappoints me in its ae-
ton.
Thus we might 90 on indefinitely to-
recte cases where people have suffered
from the after effects of grip Then
they have resorted to this remedy or
that remedy. Finally they have been,
constrained TO take Peruna. The result
is always favorable.
If the people generally understood the
benefit of Peruna, no household would
be without it, during the month of
March especially, when climatic diseases
prevail so extensively.
