TIVE 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 un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment ats 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 childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard TO health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing y
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an u1prepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindiy to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Fegetablc,
Compound, z most valuable tonic ana
inVigorator of the female organism.

CHAPTER viii.
The Wiies Of ! Woman.

After the affair Of the auto bandits
three of whom were killed-a lull fol-
lowed. If you're sailor you know
what kind of a lull mean-blue- black
clouds down the southwest horizon,
the water crinkly. the booms wabbling.
Suddenly series Of accidents began
to happen to Norton. At first he did
not give the matter much thought.
The safe which fell almost at his feet
and crashed through the sidewalk
merely induced him to believe he was
lucky. At another time an automo-
bile came furiously around corner
while he was crossing the street, and
only amazing agility saved him from
bodily hurt. The car was out of sight
when he thought to recall the number.
Then came the jolt in the subway.
Only desperate grab by one of the
guards saved him from being crushed
to death. Even then he thought moth
ing. But when new box of cigarettes
arrived and he tried one and found it
strangely perfumed, and, upon further
analysis, found it to contain q Java.
nese narcotic, slow but sure death,
he became wide awake enough They
were after him. He began to walk
carefully, to keep in public places as
often as he possibly could
He was not really afraid of death,
but he did abhor the thought of it's
coming up from behind. Except for
the cigarettes they were all "acci-
dents" he could not have proved any
thing before jury Of his intimate
friends.
He never entered an elevator with
out scrupulous care He never passed
under coverings over the sidewalks
where construction was going on
Still, careful as he was, death con
fronted him once more. 1t was his
habit to have his coffee and rolls
he rarely ate anything more for his
breakfast-sct down outside his doc,
every morning. The coffee, being in
silver thermos bottle, kept it's heat TO,

Benefit of Florence.

Il suppose I could. But If l failed
you're too damnably clever to fail

thing has got to be done to keep those
two apart. I've often thought of raid

aware Of it. There was always that
abiding fear that at the first sign OF
weakness he would desert her. And
she was wise in her deductions.

held his interest. Once that failed,
he would be off and away. III.

trusted her, drew UP before the Har-

The trick was simple. The count

exhibited q cablegram, dated at Glib

ties stated definitely that no such a
person as William Orts, aviator: had
arrived at Gibraltar. And then, as he
rose, she rose also and gently precip-
itated herself into his arms, Just at
the moment Florence appeared in the
doorway.

around her neck
When Norton came the next day
she refused to see him. 1t was all
over. She never wished to see him

In the fact that neither of the two
