from womanly trouble, would give

Are you weak, tired, WORKOUT? Do
you suffer from any of the pains pc
culiar to weak women? II SO. take
Cardui.
AS a remedy for women's ills, Cardui
has been most successful. 1t is purely
vegetable, composed Of ingredients
which have been found to build up the
vitality and strengthen the womanlS
constitution, as well as prevent or re-
lieve those terrible pains from which
weak women suffer.
Cardui is worth trying. Judging
from the experience Of a million other
women who have been benefited by
this remedy, it should surely do you
good.

This time 1t is countryman Of

ARTHUR Whitney,
This brief dialogue occurred In Paris
between a Partisan and South Caro-

time was before the middle of the nine
teenth century, when dueling was more
common than now throughout the
world and far more In earnest In

girl whom he. Glenwood, secretly

Some one must stop these murders"
he said with intense emotion.
THAT cannot be DONE" replied the
other; at least, not In any ordinary
way-not by the duel. because veilliers
is SO skilled in all weapons that he can
defeat any antagonist There is but
one way In which he can be worsted--
through his nerve. II one could find
way to break through that veilliers'
skill would not be available"
A few days later Veilliers was din.

when a man entered who attracted at.
tention at once from malicious. sar
donic look he wore on his face. He
strobe straight toward the table where
Veilliers was sitting and deliberately
slapped him on the cheek
Veilliers. who had noticed the man.

he had never seen before and whose
expression startled him.

NO TIME TO FLOAT BOND ISSUES.

NO TIME TO FLOAT BOND ISSUES
The slack condition of the money mar
ket at the present time was no more
surely indicated than by the failure OF
the city Of Baltimore yesterday to float
an issue of $5,500,000 four per cent
bonds, there being less than 100000
subscribed and at prices going as low
as S7.91. The only way for municipal
tiles to do, therefore, in the present sit
uation is to refrain from trying to float
bonds and. back of that, to refrain from
making the expenditures which call for
flotation of bonds. When the great city
of New York is beginning to wake up
to the necessity for retrenchment in ex
penses, it is time that smaller cities
follows the example.

not waste words. Come; let us be off.
veilliers rose, and the stranger slip
ped his arm through that of his an
tagonist. keeping his face turned to
ward him all the while. Veillier'
shook him off, but the stranger walked
beside him. those who had been dining
with the latter following. to the fenc
ing academy, where they were shown
into a private room. Veilliers chose
foils, and the fight began.
BY this time the dueist showed signs
! of unsteadiness. The strangers con
/ fidence, his indifference as to terms
and weapons. his talk about represent.
ing velliers victims. and. above all
! his sardonic smile. had produced an
! effect. The duelist, as soon as he be
gan to fence. strove not to look at his
opponent But he must keep bis eye on
that of his antagonist. and he could
not do this without the smile being
constantly before him. Indeed. do
what he would. it drew his sight from
that feature on watching which his
life depended. The unknown. observ-
ing this. waited till bis enemys gaze
was diverted. then made quick lunge
and ran him through the breast.
The next morning all Paris knew
that the famous veilliers had been
killed In duel by an American named
Glenwood But few knew that Glen.
wood had relied almost entirely on
breaking down his antagonists nerve
through his conscience. The South
Carolinian's face had been painted by
a skilled artist and so delicateiy done
that the paint could not easily be dis
covered. 1t was assurance backed by
this device that enabled Glenwood to

Miss Ellison. who had gone into
mourning for her lover, was one OF the
first to hear of this remarkable duel.
When she learned the name of the
conqueror her surprise was great In
deed. He had long been her friend
a sort OF brother-but she would not
have expected him to endanger his life
to avenge her She sent for him to
come to her at once.

Miss Ellison never asked again why
she had been avenged. Glenwood
could not conceal 1t from her. Within
\ year after the duel they were mar
rIed.
