WHAT SCIATICA IS

There is something terrifying about
the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is
nothing but neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve and neuralgia is an inflamma-
zion caused by lack of nourlshment.
Application of dry heat as hot sand
bags or flannel to the course of the in
famed nerve often quiets the pain but
it does not feed the nerve. 1t is tenn
porary relief, good thing to know
about but not remedy.
What causes the nerve starvation
that results in neuralgia and sciatica
and how may it be corrected?
The most common cause is a run
down physical system and frequent
exciting cause is exposure to cold
Thin blood is often at fault. 1t Is
through the blood that the nerves get
their nourishment. Mortal man knows
of no other way of getting nourish-
ment to nerve. Therefore when the
blood gets thin and fails to feed the
nerves they show their resentment by
becoming infiamed. Try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills at this stage and see how
the Inflammation subsidies as the en-
riched blood carries to the starved
nerves the elements they need.

When am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet:
And If thou wilt remember
And If thou wilt forget
shall not see the shadows.
I shall not feel the rain
shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on. as il in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Ilaply ] may remember.
And haply may forget.

Mystery AS Deep as Ever

The finding of Bessie Guyer now sets
the county authorities back to the find
ing of the skeleton last Friday morn
ing. 1t was believed for the past few
days that the bones were those of the
Chambersburg woman who was To-
Gated by Telegraph reporters
last evening, but the fact that
she has been found deepens
the mystery still more. There is now
absolutely no clue as to the identity
of the girl victim and it remains for
further inquiry to be made concerning
the occupants of the mystery house.
County authorities say they are able
to locate each family residing there
and it will now be up to them to grill
the former occupants and endeavor to
learn true clue which will help in
running down the murderer. With
the skeleton there was not the small
est trinket or article of clothing which
would tend to reveal the identity of
the supposedly young victim and now
confronting the officers is one of the
most mysterious cases ever developed
in the annals of the city.

 Lydia hesitated before speaking. MT. Brood does not conf1de in Fred eric. I am afraid they have but little in common. Oh, shouldn't have said that!"

 .Is there a reason why he should dislike his son?" asked the other, re- garding her fixedly.
 'Of course not" cried poor Lydia.
 There was a moment of silence. Some day, Lydia, you will tell me about Mir. Brood's other wife"
 "she died many years ago" said the girl. evasively.
 "I know" said Mrs. Brood. "Still I should like to hear more of the woman he could not forget in all those years until he met me-"
 She grew silent and preoccupied. a slight frown marking her forehead as she resumed her examination of the room and it's contents.
 Great lanterns hung suspended be- side the shrine, but were now un- lighted. On the table at which Brood professed to work stood huge lamp with a lacelike screen of gold When lighted soft, mellow glow oozed through the shade to create circle of golden brilliance over a radius that extended but little beyond the edge of the table, yet reached to the benign countenance of Buddha close by. Over all this fairylike splendor reigned the serene, melting influence of the god to whom James Brood was wont to confess himselfi The spell of the golden image dominated every thing.
 In the midst of the magnifcence moved the two women, one absurdly out of touch with her surroundings yet thing of beauty; the other blend ing intimately with the warm tones that enveloped her. She was 1.-the sinuous with the grace of the most SC. ductive of dancers. Her dark eyes re- fected the mysteries of the Orient; her pale, smooth skin shone with the clps mess of alahagter. the crim son in her lips was like the fresh stain

 She dropped the curtains. The soft warm glow of the room came back and she sighed with relief. "I hate things that are dead" she said.
 At the sound of soft tread and the gentle rustic of draperies, they turned. Ranja5. the Hindu, was crossing the loom toward the small door which tave entrance to his closet. He paused for an instant before the image of Duddha, but did not drop to his knees as all devout Buddhists do. Mrs. Broods hand fell lightly upon Lydia s arm. The man turned toward them a second or two later His dark, hand some face was hard set and emotion less as he bowed low to the new mis- tress of the house. The fingers closed tightly on Lydia's arm. Then he smiled upon the girl, glad smile of devotion. His swarthy face was trans figured. A moment later he unlocked his door and passed into the other room. The key turned in the lock with a slight rasp.
 T do not like that man." said Mrs Brood. Her voice was low and her eyes were fixed steadily on the closed door.

of blood; the very fragrance of her person seemed to steal out of the un- known. She was a part of the mar velous setting, a gem among gems.
 She had attired herself in dull h. dian red afternoon gown of chiffon. The very fabric seemed to cling to her supple body with the sensuous joy of contact Even Lydia, who watched her with appraising eyes, experienced a swift unaccountable desire to hold this intoxicating creature close to her own body.
 There were two windows in the room, broad openings that ran from near the floor almost to the edge of the canopy. They were so heavily cur tained that the light of day failed to penetrate to the interior of the apart ment. Mrs. Brood approached one of apart. she let in an ugly gray light, from the outside world
 She looked down into a sort of court yard and garden that might have been transplanted from distant Araby. Ut tering an exclamation of wonder, she turned to Lydia.
 'Is this New York or am I be- witched?"
 MT. Brood transformed the old car riage yard into al think MT. Dawes calls it a Persian garden. It is rather bleak in wintertime, Mrs. Brood, but in the summer it is really enchanting. See, across the court on the second those are your rooms. It is an enor- nous house. you'll find Do you see the little balcony outside your win dows. and the vines creeping up to it :?
