Pietro Vincenzo Riga xvns discour nged. It had been a had day. In fact. [ it bad been a bad month. Generally when lie and Gambietta took to the road and traveled through this section tlie nickels and dimes and quarters fell into Pietro’s old felt hat In a most alluring stream. Hut this year the weather hud been for the most part rainy, and somehow Gambietta seemingly had lost his knack of coaxing coins from stubborn

pockets.

What few pleasant days there had been had proved far from profitable, for the dimes and niekels and quarters were conspicuous by their absence, and Pietro and Gambietta must both eat, fair weather or dull. In vain did they plod the dusty highways; in vain whenever they could find a possible audience dill Gambietta do his cumbersome tricks. Waltz, turn somersaults, die. go lame, wrestle with Pietro as he would, but a few scattered pennies bad lodged in the old felt but. Bankruptcy, grim and ghastly, stared them in the face. Moreover, Gambietta was growing painfully thin, even as if lie had but recently come from one of Ills long naps of hibernation, and Pietro was beginning to learn all too frequently that a handful of berries gathered from the roadside made a most uns.it Isfactory repast. They plodded up the long hill slope, the man shuffling along with his shoulders stooped and his head bent and (lie bear following along at the end of his chain, his head roiling from side to side and ids scuffling feet sending up choking clouds of dust that set him to wheezing and coughing in ndsi'i-nble

fashion.

They were nearing the top of the hill when a wagon with a portly, well fed man on the sent drew up beside them The well fed man glared at them in undisguised contempt. “Hey, you dago,” he called, "what jer doin’ with that bear here on the highway? Don’t you know there’s a regulation against it in tills town? Scares bosses. It does! Take him through the woods or the fields, but keep off the roads—you hear?" Pietro pulled off the old felt hat and bowed respectfully. Then as lu st he could iu broken English, plentifully interspersed with Etruscan dlaleet, he tried to make It plain that neither he nor Gambietta would willingly or knowingly transgress the law. But the man in the wagon understood in word of the servile harangue. “None of your lip, uow,” he Inter rupted irritably, at the same time pulling open his eoat to display a tin star. “Pm a deputy sheriff, 1 am Yon and that bear keep off the roads or IJ1 run you both In. See!” He waved ids arm meaningly toward a little wooded path that led from the highway to the left and sat in Ids wagon watching the sorry pair until they had turned into it and were lost to view in its shady depths. Beneath a giant oak tree that stood beside the little path Pietro sat down miserably, his head in ids hands and a great despair in ids tired eyes. Gambietta collapsed beside him. rolled about luxuriously for a moment, then turned on Ids side and went calmly to sleep. Pietro sat there for a time, a prey to ids bitter musing. Then he, too, stretched himself beside Gamhlettn’s rusty brown bulk and fell Into trou bled slumber. Now. It happened that the path a winding wood road—which the two had chosen, or. rather, which the well fed man had chosen for them, as a retreat led to a cascade, where a little stream fell over a series of granite

ledges.

It was one of the beauty spots of the vicinity, u place much frequented by the summer people who iiime to

the little town.

Even as Pietro and Gambietta slept In the shadows of the oak a smarl trap came slowly down the winding

road from the cascade.

In the trap were a stern faced young man and an unsmiling young woman. Aud It took no very great Intellect to see that everything was not entirely

pleasant between them.

Indeed, they had fallen into silence that bitter silence which Is harder to endure than threats or recriminations or o|m*u censure. For some time they drove along, the beauties of the shaded wood road lost to their eyes. The man finally broke the silence “Perhaps It would he better If I got out and walked,” he suggested grimly. “Perhaps it would,” said the girl, and, reining In the horse, she watched him climb down from the trap, after which she flicked the cob with the whip, and the trap sped down the road The man stuffed ids hands Into his pockets, grunted something Innrtlcu late and strode on In her wake. He was a pleasant looking young man. The frown that furrowed ’ forehead

| seemed sadly out of place.

But there was something about the mouth which said he had a will of his own and somewhat more than Ins

share of stubborn pride.

Presently, by way of so -hing his overwrought nerves, he pulled from bis pocket a well worn brier pipe »"d began to fill It from ids tobucc U. But scarcely was the task completed

Made of Forest Roots Dr. Pierce believes that our American forests abound in most valuable medicinal roots for the cure of most obstinate and fatal diseases, if we would properly investigate them; and, in confirmation of this conviction, he points with pride to the almost marvelous cures effected by bis “ Golden Medical Discovery M which has proven Itself to he the most efficient stomach tonic, liver Invigorator and blood cleanser known to medical science. Dyspepsia, or indigestion and torpid liver yield to its curative action. The reason why it cures these and many other affections, is clearly shown in a little book of extracts from the standard medical works which is mailed free to any address by Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo N. Y., to all sending request for the same. ’ * Mot less marvelous, in the unparalleled cures it is constantly making of woman's many peculiar affections, weaknesses and distressing derangements is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, an is amply attested by thousands of unsolicited testimonials contributed by grateful patients who have been cured by it, often after many other advertised medicines, and physicians had failed. Both the above mentioned medicines are wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of native, medicinal roots. The processes employed in their manufacture were original with Dr. Pierce, and they are carried on by skilled chemists and pharmacists with the aid of apparatus and appliances specially designed and built for this purpose. Both medicines are entirely free from alcohol and all other harmful, habit-forming drugs. A full list of their ingredients is printed on each bottle wrapper.
