foolish notions about it's not being

I didn't quite understand her and
said so. She laughed and replied:
"Oh, nothing! only some men are
such cranks, they never get on"
That night we talked together,
Neil and 1. l told him how much
loved him, that it wasn't for what he
gave me, either. l recall that, among
other things, said:

1 think you the best man in the
world. Nothing matters, nothing
counts to me but you-and our hap
piness together. I am going to keep
you always, against anybody or any
thing" Then l asked for money to

kissed me, telling me to get the gown
and charge it.

DAILY HEALTH talks
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D,

It can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose of the. food you eats
troubles begin to crop out In various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, hut thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak.
ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis are almost as common.
There is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy to do if yoa
take DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is SO safe to take, for it p
made Of roots and herbs. DR.. Pierce, oA
Buffalo, N. Y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and it is good to know that so
distinguished a physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are
getting the benefit of the experience of .
doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get temper
ance medicine that contains not drop Of
alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long ago
DR.. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable Experimentation the use of
alcohol-so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.
If piles are torturing you, get and use
Pierce's Ansdyne Pile. Ointment. The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. If constipated, DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually over
come. They are so good that nearly
every drug store has them for sale.

what he was doing, but instead OF
this, he talked of trivial matters.
He seemed to be regarding me crit
icalIy, carefully. l had an impress
sion that he was holding something
back; that he was weighing every
word he spoke.
The next day l recalled his man
ner at dinner when l overheard two
men speak of him. had gone into
the Waldorf to wait for Lorraine
Morton, with whom l had agreed to
lunch. / waited in the writing
room, and as l was a little ahead of
time, 1 busted myself by writing
mother. On a settee near me we're
two men.
Il saw young Forbes this morning.
He stopped me, and l must say he
had two very peculiar men with him.
Not his sort at ALL
''Forbes' friends are not all dis
tinguished, by any means" the other
replied. at seems a pity that some
young men thing that to be success
full in business they have to do shady
things, or be intimate with those
who do. Forbes comes of good
stock. It's too bad. l wonder what
kind of a wife he has"
Just then Lorraine came in and
l heard no more. l called her atten-
ton to the two men and asked her
if she knew them.
Never saw them before. Why
do you know any other Forbes
besides Neil?" 1 then asked.
''No-why again."
They were talking of some man
named Forbes, and said he was of
good stock. 1t seemed odd that l
should hear them" / had no slight
est intention of confiding in Lor-
raine Morton But once more l had
that sensation of foreboding that 1
had experienced the day I lunched
with Blanche orion.
Lorraine shot a keen glance at me.
1t seemed to me there was some sort
of meaning in her look. Then she
asked:
Does Neil-Mr. Forbes, tell you
about his business? Some men are
very secretive, 1 know. l should
want to know every blessed thing
about a mans business if 1 were
married"

sensed something-or thought had
about his teasing-his caressing
manner with her that was especially

him. He laughingly told me that he

feet any more than were women.
When I was married 1 had thought
Neil absolutely perfect. l could see
no faults, no flaws. To be truthful,
saw very few even AFTER living with
him year. Yet. l often wondered
where his lack of responsibility would
lead him.
Often l was worried, too, about
what Neil drank Not than / would
infer that he was a drunkard; but
several times after we commenced go
ing with his old friends he had taken
more than was good for him.
Neil would laugh at me, tell me l
was peeved because 1t made me i'll,
and lot of other nonsense which
quieted my fears for the time, but in
no wise prevented their recurrence.
l had lunched with Blanche Orion,
one day, and she had grown quite con-
idential-without in the least mean
ing to, l am sure. She called my hus-
band Neil" in the kind of way that
only a certain amount of intimacy
would warrant. She talked of the
good times they had before he was
married, and said that had she not al

taken him.

We still kept the apartment we
had rented when we were first mar
ried. But we kept two servants, and
when we entertained. Neil always
sent man from the club to wait.
We had a small car also, and 1 had
at Neils ggestion-bought many
new and expensive things for the
house. But Neil constantly talked
Of the deal" which soon would be

up our little apartment and go to

built on the fashionable East side
of town
1T is silly to keep buying things

bonfire of them when we co." he
returned.
OF course / knew he did not mean
that he would burn them, but that
they would amount to so little when
he had made the money he expected
to, that they wouldn't count. So
went on buying beautiful things for
the house and handsome clothes at
the most expensive modiste's.
Often when I looked into the glass
l would wonder If l were the same
girl who, only a little over a year
ago, was satisfied to dress in muslins
and ginghams Now nothing was too
ultra for me to wear. had acquired
certain style which seemed to call
for extreme fashions, and as Neil
never grumbled about the bills which
were always sent to him, had

. Neil was becoming very uncertain
in his hours. 1t annoyed me and
spoke Of it to him:
you are getting later and later
for dinner, Neil. If you keep this
up soon shall not see you at all"
He made no reply. During din
ner I tried to get him to talk of
