 Upstairs in her boudoir she flung herself down on a lounge and re- viewed the situation. The humiliation stung her like fire; her face, which had been scarlet, was now aShen. She trembled. She rose and paced the floor. She threw herself into a chair and burst into hysterical sobbing. It was the most incredible thing that had ever happened to her.
 Suddenly, looking up, she saw some thing in the farthest corner of the room that sent her faint with terror. There again were the luminous eyes, and the dead-white hands beneath them. The eyes were fixed steadily on hers.
 Then, as she watched, terror-strick- l en, she saw letters appear in the air beneath the hands, traced as if in phosphorescent fire.
 "Only in one way can you win Ra | vengar's love-" the writing ran. "Se | bastian Navarro has committed crime of which you are well aware. The confession has been destroyed. Draw a confession from him and Ra- vengar's feelings will change"
 The writing quivered and disap- peared, leaving Blanca staring at the blank wall opposite. And through the windows crept the first pale gray of the morning.

 The men started from their seats and stared at each other in conster- nation as the message slowly faded Then with one accord they rushed into the corner.

The ROAD PETITIONS
/ andowners Are To Have Opportunity
To Form Road District.

Some time ago a movement was
started for the establishment OF
the territory from the Strawberry
liver bridge, two miles north OF
Evening Shade, to Cave City into a
sDecial district for the purpose of
constructing a good road between
the two points under the Alexander
law,
A notice this week from the state
highway department states that Pc
titiops for the establishment OF the
district will be forwarded in few
DAYS, when the matter will be put
up to those who own land along
the proposed route.
q It is said there has been a won
derful growth of sentiment lately
In favor of this proposed road, and
il is believed the petitions will cas-
ily secure the signatures OF a major
ity of citizens within the scope OF
The territory affected.
Most people are agreed that the
roads are getting worse as time
Does along, and there is no prospect
.fpr general improvement soon
hinder any method that is now be-
Ing employed in the county. More
people are coming to realize that
now is the time to form a special
district and make real road while
such liberal assistance can be had
from the state and federal govern
ments.
Every landowner from the Straw
berry river bridge to Cave City
ought to count the cost and give
the proposition a fair and earnest
consideration before he refuses to
sign a petition for the creation of
the special road district. The
movement is in the interest of
progress and the upbuilding of the
country, and ought to have the
sanction of every progressive citi-

SIX OLD LADIES REGAIN HEALTH
Famous Medicine Accomplishing
Wonderful Results In Treating In
firmitieS OF Old Age.

OF the more eldery ladies of the Old
Ladies Home on Rutledge Pike,
Nashville, Tenn, have been in a
very feeble, delicate state of health,
bordering at times on what might
be termed a general decline.
Their failing health was due, no
doubt, in large measure to the
general infrmities of advanced age,
and although they received every
possible care and attention, they
seemed to be beyond the reach of
the treatment ordinarily administer
ed in such cases.
AT the suggestion of Mrs. Cotton,
the matron of the institution, they
concluded to try Tanlac and it was
a happy decision indeed when they
decided to do so. The reconstruc-
tive powers of the medicine were at
once in evidence. They began al
most Immediately to feel better and
rest better. Since that time the
treatment has been continued with
the most astonishing and gratifying
results, but let them tell their own
stories in their own individual way.
Their statements are undoubtedly
interesting.
Mrs HOuser was one of the first
to use the medicine, and being at
very advanced age, her trouble had
been more persistent and difficult
to treat, perhaps, than any of the
Others. Mrs.Houser said;
u had been in a very weak, ner-
vouS state for several years and
have suffered principally from stom-
ach trouble. would 90 for months

fectly, as | have suffered no bad

ter in every way"
Mrs. Martin, who is the next to
testify said:
Il have suffered a great deal
from hard, driving pains in my head
and had stomach trouble. | hardly
ever have pain now, the catarrh no
longer troubles me and my appetite
is much better"
Mrs. Fink said.
u was sick all last summer and |
now feel better and stronger than in
months. no longer suffer from
the headaches had so much"
Mrs. Wallis seemed to be especial
ly delicate and had very weak con-
stitution and weak stomach. Mrs.
Wallis said.
In only one week after taking
your medicine | began to feel greatly
improved, lfeel very much strong
er, enjoy my meals more and seem
to rest better at night, | expect to
continue taking Tanlac."
In referring to the above state
ments, Mr.. Willis, who is, at pres
ent, personally directing the intro
duction OF Tanlac through the
South, said,
, " consider the statements Of these
old ladies the most remarkable thGt

lectures, Mr. Willis said
