home in that frame Of mind.
And tho breach thus opened widened
,cadily as time sped on. Mary sent
conciliatory message. John made

Mary, with nothing much to keep
her busy, moped and fretted. John,
with business on his hands, was a
trife better off, but in the long, dull
evenings he wanted Mary. She had
always boon SO ready to cheer him up
and make him see the bright side when
things had gone wrong. He missed
her sympathy and companionship-
but lie did not miss them enough to
sue for forgiveness when he felt quite
sure that he had done nothing which

Mnry's maid went to her mistress
one day and asked: Miss Mary

Young Mary turned languidly from
the book she was only pretending to
read.

"11l go over to her place and see about

It was sad enough spectacle which
confronted Mary when she reached the

rheumatic old husband, trying yainly

The story was soon told. Johns
rheumatism would not permit him to
work steadily any longer. Old Mary's
pitiful earnings would little more
than pay the rent. It was starvation
or the poorhouse.

faltered bravely. But Mary-she's
that proud! Little did think when I
married her that she would have to
end her days in the poorhouse."
Young Mary thought rapidly, and
the end Of her bordering brought glad
relief OF the face Of old John.

said authoritatively. There's q lit

Don't Let a Cold
Get a Good Start

The way to check a cold is to fight
it from the first. Even the worst
maladies often are easily conquered
if attacked early enough. Colds may
lead to asthma, bronchial troubles
and pulmonary affections. In the
treatment of these one of the first
needs is to build up body resistance.
Eckmans Alternative often has as
sisted in such upbuilding. AS treat
ment for the troubles named, 1t has
been used for more than twenty
years. And in many instances it has
effected lasting relief.
AS with any other medicine. 1t
should be regarded only as first aid
to right care and hygienic living
and safe one. For it contains no
narcotics. opiates or habit forming
drugs of any sort.
