He paced the library floor nervous
ly, every nerve in his body jangling
discordantly at the chatter of his wife
in the next room, the confusion Of her
undignified romping with the baby.
Only the night before he had given
a wretched performance, his voice
turning hoarse. Only the night be-
fore he had titled with Olga Drake,
for the first time in all the months
during which their intimacy had
grown to such an extent, that there
were whispers about it.
First, he had tried to break away
from the spell she cast upon him But
his work threw him with her set and
his wife used every subterfuge to avoid
accompanying him to any affair which
might aid him in the social world,
always pleading to be allowed to re-
main with the baby.
And now she was late He looked
at his watch nervously then whirIed
to the stairs and tapped upon her
door.

"But what can do, Henry? What

He heard no more, but these words
scared themselves in letters of fire
upon his brain. His teeth clicked
shut with an audible sound. Suddenly
all the stage fright disappeared be-
fore an anticipatory rage. They
should not whisper and talk while
he sang; they should treat his voice
with the same respect they treated
that of Cabosso His voice was tho
equal of the great tenor's.
Unconscious of his audience, of the
stir of curiosity at his appearance III
stead of the familiar Cabosso, regard
less of everything save overweening
desire to win, Henry Merwin hardly
realized he was upon the stage before
the curtain stared him in the face, the
curtain which formed barrier
against the tumultuous applause of
the audience at his performance, and
shut him into the other world behind
the scenes, the world of felloW-singers
who made him realize the tremendous
impression he had created.
He suddenly felt himself very weak,
felt his impotence. He needed help,
sympathy-he needed-Ann--.
Swiftly he discarded his costume,
but lily wiping the grease paint from
his countenance. But in his eyes
glowed something of happiness, grow

hour later, he reread the massage he

a canary's cage, his eyes glistening
with delight as he held vocal contest

warm red came from beneath the
heavy coat of tan as he caught sight
of the stranger, halting his song alb

'You should cultivate that voice

not to the individual" De Retsky
frowned.
He stopped as he noticed the change
of expression that had come over the
singers face as he studied the card
with evident recognition.
Cultivate my voice." His voice
was husky, hoarse. Cultivate it! But
who will pay for the job-who pays?"
He looked about him, at the tiny farm
house, the small farm, the shabby out
houses, all indicative of small means.
"Yes-that's it. Who pays" De
Retsky muttered, faint smile upon
his lips. For he knew the ultimate
payment would not be found within so
small space; would not be taken
from wealth or that which went to
make wealth, but from the human
heart. Whose heart?

abruptly.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience Of Motherhood Is q try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred Is prepared or un-
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 Il II over
her system has received q shock from
which It is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There Is nothing more charming than
Ahsppy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth 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 unprepared 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, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

''Pape's Diapepsin" is the
Quickest and Surest
Stomach Relief.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food,
or have feeling of dizziness, heart
burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach headache. you can
surely get relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Papes Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dyspep-
tic troubles of all kinds must go, and
why it relieves, sour, out-of-order
stomachs or indigestion in five min
utes. "Pape's Diapepsin" is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
ton into the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the
table with healthy appetite; but
what will please you most, is that you
will feel that your stomach and intes-
tines are clean and fresh, and you will
not need to resort to laxatives or liv-
er pills for biliousness or constipation.
This city will have many "Pape's
Diapepsin" cranks, as some people will
call them, but you will be enthusiastic
about this splendid stomach prepare

gestion, gases. heartburn, sourness,

Get some now, this minute, and rid
yourself of stomach misery and indi-
gestion in five minutes.-Adv.
