THE. CHARM
Of MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an Hnprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, g most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.

CHAPTER XII.
Mr.. Spratt to the Rescue.

I'm which discover that the Code Ma
poleon Is by no means a negligible guam

My dramatic appearance before the
military tribunal had been none too
soon. In accordance with the usual
procedure the court had convened at
six o'clock in the morning In fact, at
the moment of my appearance with
the proof of Charles innocence the
judges were already preparing to re-
tire for the consideration of their YER
dict; and that verdict could have been
of one nature alone.
My proofs threw an entirely new
complexion upon the affair. While in
sufficient to secure Charles immediate
acquittal, they were of nature SO
startling-implicati as they did,
three powers of Europe and unwilling
an International conspiracy-that an
adjournment was Immediately OBJ
tanned A week later, when the tri-
bunal reconvened, Charles was acquit-
ted with the lmerest formalities, his
sword restored to him, and, little
subsequently, he received the coveted
legion of honor from the presidents
hand.
He told me afterward that he had
never doubted the ultimate verdict of
the court; what had driven him almost
to frenzy was his inability to learn
anything concerning me. OF my wild
flight to Corsica he had been kept in
complete ignorance.
Of this, and the ensuing death of the
chief conspirators, they say told the
presiding judge in detail. But of all

those awful scenes in Corsica and
aboard the yacht; and ever l seemed
hurrying to catch a special train which
just eluded me at every station on

When l opened my eyes at last to

| Charles mother | was back in my
room in Clichy. and she was seated be-
side me, watching me with that anx-
ious and yet serene gaze which had
learned to know during those arduous
days after my first arrival there. When
she saw recognition in my eyes she
began to weep quietly. She bent down
and pressed her lips to my forehead.
"Charles?" was my first word
"Hush!" she said, smiling, and tip
toed softly out of the room. A moment
later she reappeared, Charles at her

raised my fingers to his lips. He was

was no need to ask the judges verdict.

the soft September airs. In those days

me. And in proof of his intention, he
sprang into the sea, which did not
reach higher than his ar1npits. Clearly
this was the edge of a shoal; and,
doubtless, the yacht had put in here to
avoid notice.
With some misgivings, l obeyed,
and, clasping me tightly, the sailor
waded ashore until he had deposited
me high and dry above the sweep of
the waves. Then, with a sweep of his
cap, he was gone, and stood upon the
beach watching him.
He waded back and clambered
aboard again. A moment later heard
the creak of the windlass, saw the an

Then / became aware that a stout
good-natured, fatherly-looking old gen.
tleman, who had been pacing the plat
form, stretching his legs. had halted
nearby and was watching me intently.
Though it was early morning he wore
full dress suit, across which broad
sash of many colors was draped. In
stinct leaped to my aid. l cried to
him:
Monsieur lie President"
He hesitated and then came swiftly
toward me.

swered.

pleaded. 1T is a matter of life or
death. They will not let me hire a

He bowed and offered his arm.
you shall be my guest, madame"
he answered, and escorted me to his
carriage, as though / were a princess,
leaving line of gaping functionaries
behind him.
That age-long journey is only the
faintest memory to me now, for, once
the train started, my pent-up feelings
| found vent in a hysterical outburst
which sorely repaid the good president
| for his courtesy. l remember how he
and his suite crowded me as | lay in
the sleeping car which he had perforce
relinquished to me; how someone dis
covered that l was starving and fed
me with milk and whisky; how, over
come by the potency of the liquor, l
babbled something of my story-at
least enough to reveal my identity.
Then the romance of it gripped them
and they constituted themselves my
servitors. Towns rushed past us and
were swallowed up in the plains, night
followed day, and at last, after an eter-
uity Of torment, we rolled into the ter
minal at eight o'clock on the morning
of Friday.
Next | remember a wild ride in a
cab, with the secretary of the Swiss
legation seated beside me, trying to
calm me as l brandished bundle of
| papers; a halt at the fortress gates; a
sudden message that sent orderlies
scurryifg in all directions; finally there
comes to mind the picture of court
room, of the grave judges, of Charles,
erect in his uniform, regarding me at
first stonily, then with cry of amazed
joy. recall, most family of all, thrust
| ing down my documents before the
presiding officer. Then blackness en-
comprised me and, as my senses
| failed felt Charles arms encircle me,
and fell into that haven as ship
wrecked sailor casts himself on the
sustaining breast of the land.

age; and in a sudden outburst of tears
! found relief. Dawn was breaking in
the east, and down in my soul. Too
long had been perplexed and harassed
by this nightmare Of circumstance;
now my thoughts turned from the dead
to the living, from Leopold to my lover.
All the next day we raced northward
across the Mediterranean until, late in
the afternoon, land upheaved itself
across our bows, and l saw the wooded
promontory of Bon Martin, with the
white houses of the village nesting
beneath the cliff. But the helmSman
twisted his wheel and we veered away,
running parallel with white beach
until we cast anchor not fifty yards
from a low and desolate shore.
They had not spoken a word to me,
these silent men. Whoever they were,
of whence they came, was never to
learn. Now one of them let down the
short rope ladder, and, standing on the
bottom step indicated that l should
follow him.
At first his actions alarmed me. Was
1t his purpose to cast me into the blue
water? But a moment later was re-
assured by an unmistakable sign; he
wished me to mount upon his shout
ders SO that he could wade ashore with
