THE MAKING OF \ A FAMOUS
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ls Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where thfs successful remedy is made impresses even the casual looker-on with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this gres. medicine for woman's ills
 Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs are used anually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub- stances are at their best.
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is steriized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed in sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in its preparation which has made this famous medicine SO successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound which we are continually pub fishing attest to its virtue.

 Mark was beginning to think of tackling the fugitive, who, unconscious of pursuit, was about fifty paces in front of him, when suddenly the man turned in at the tiny garden of an ap- parently deserted house and knocked at the door, which was opened almost immediately.
 Mark heard a Subdued scream, and then the mans voice in angry alterca- tion.
 He was talking to the woman who had opened the door. She looked about five and thirty years of age. and her face, distinctly visible against the light in the hall, was well-bred, if not attractive. She seemed one of those cosmopolitans who frequent the capi- tai; Mark was still uncertain whether her house was one of those residences that are still occupied in this district by the original owners. or whether she was the mistress of one of those gam bling establishments that flourish of necessity along the avenues of the earlier alphabet.
 The man seemed to be pleading with her. his gestures were growing fran tic. He looked about i've and forty years of age; his face struck Mark with 0 certain odd familiarity, though he had never seen him closely before, and bore traces of breeding. blurred either by absolute habits or by mis- fortune.

Cleric hasn't discovered the girl yet, but he is already worrying about how he is going to propose to her when he does. War and matrimony. says he, require preparedness. He has written dozen tentative sentences wherewith to introduce the subject. We cull few of them as mere sug- gestions. He imagines himself start ing the conversation with one of the following phrases:
 You look very nice across table,"
 "I think cooking like yours would keep me in good humor forever"
 Do you object to smoking about the house? l don't smoke"
 The high cost of living isn't so high after all. is it?'

| Brigadier was more furious than How ard.
 q don't know how it happened, Col onel, and l don't careW he cried, humping the table. "No great harm
 has been done so far, and of course none of the departmental clerks can be suspected. But it's got to stop, and
 we've got to find out how it originated" It was on that night that Mark felt at the end of his powers.
 It was early, he had dined and was sitting disconsolately in his apartment; i; nothing seemed of any value to him at that moment, and his thoughts were
 ranging round their eternal subject. Had it been necessary that he should
 have treated Mrs. Howard and El-
 eanor boorishly, to protect himself?
 He put on his hat and went out,
 meaning to pay them visit, or, at least, to walk toward their house while
 making his decision. He had not de- | cided by the time he reached Massa- | chusetts circle, and, as he stopped in | doubt, he saw a man across the road,
 staring up at the house.
 Of sudden Eleanor's story recurred | to his mind with vivid force. The man
 was obviously watching the house, and
 he meant to stay there.
 | But, as Mark started toward him, | the man seemed to take fear, and shambled away. Something in his gait brought back to Marks mind the recol-
 lection of the man whom he had seen
 outside the Misses Harpers' school. | And he began to follow him. It was
 q role that he had never played before,
 but justified, in his Nind, by the neces- sity of discovering the fellows identi- | ty. Without any very clear intention in his mind how he was to accomplish | this. Mark made his way after the soli- | tary figure, keeping well behind it. It soon became clear that the man, | although he looked like tramp, had n definite objective. Mark pursued him | toward Pennsylvania avenue, until he | discovered that he was nearing the | least desirable part of Washington, | whose location, so near the residence of the chief executive, has always been | the wonder and scandal of visitors.
