Nervous Prostration

Complete Recovery by the Use of

Ayer's Sarsaparilla

Some years ago, as a result of too close attention to business, my health failed. I became weak, nervous, was unable to look after my interests, and manifested all the symptoms of a decline. I took three bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, began to improve at once,

and gradually increased my weight from one hundred and twenty-iivr to twn liundred pounds. Since then. UK1 my family have used this medicine when needed, and we are all in the hest, of health, a fact which we attrihut" to Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I believe my children would have been fatherless to-day had it not been for Ayer's Sarsaparilla, of which preparation I cannot say too much."—H. O. Hixsox, Postmaster and Planter, Kinard's, S. 0.

CHAPTER VIII. SHADOWS BEFORE.

Mrs. Westmacott's great meeting for the enfranchisement of woman had passed over, ani it had been a triumphant success. All the maids and matrons of the southern suburbs had rallied at her summons there was an influential platform, with Dr. Balthazar Walker in the chair, and Admiral Hay Denver among his more prominent supporters. One benighted male had come in from the outside darkness and had jeered from the farther end of the hall, but he had been called to order by the chair, petrified by indignant glances from the unenfranchised around him and finally escorted to the door by Charles Westmacott. Fiery resolutions were passed, to be forwarded to a large number of leading statesmen, and the meeting broke up with the conviction that a shrewd blow had been struck for the cause of woman.

But there was one woman at least to whom the meeting and all that was connected with it had brought anything but pleasure. Clara Walker watched with a heavy heart the friendship and close intimacy which had sprung up between her father and the widow. From week to week it had increased until no day ever passed without their being together. The coming meeting had been the excuse for these continual interviews, but now the meeting was over, and still the doctor would refer every point which rose to the judgment of his neighbor. He would talk, too, to his two daughters of her strength of character, her decisive mind, and of the necessity of their cultivating her acquaintance and following her example, until at last it had become his most common topic of conversation.

All this might have passed as merely the natural pleasure which an elderly man might take in the society of an intelligent and handsome woman, but there were other points which seemed to Clara to give it a deeper meaning. She could not forget that when Charles Westmacott had spoken to her one night he had alluded to. the possibility of his aunt marrying again. He must have known or noticed something before he would speak upon such a subject. And then again Mrs. Westacott had herself said that she hoped to change her style of living shortly and take over completely new duties. What could that mean except that she expected to marry? And whom? She seemed to see few friends outside their own little circle. She must have alluded to her father. It was a hateful thought, and yet it must be faced.

One evening the doctor had been rather late at his neighbor's. He used to go into the admiral's after dinner, but now he turned mo.ro frequently in tlie other direction. When he returned, Clara was sitting alone in the drawing room reading a magazine. She sprang up as he entered, pushed forward his chair and ran to fetch his slippers. "You are looking a little pale, dear," he remarked. "Oil, no, papa I am very well." "All well with Harold?" "Yes. His partner, Mr. Pearson, is still away, and-lie is doing all the work." "Well done. He is sure to succeed. Where is Ida?" "In her room. I think." "yiie was witn uiiiwj\s vv estmacott on the lawn not very long ago. tie seems very fond of her. He i.s not very bright, but I think he will make her a good husband." "I am sure of it, papa. He is very manly and reliable." "Yes, 1 should think that he is not the sort of man who goes wrong. There is nothing hidden about him. As to his brightness, it really does not matter, .for his aunt, Mrs.. Westmacott, is very rich —much richer than you would think from her style of living—and she has made him a handsome provision." "I am glad of that." "It is between ourselves. I am her trustee^ and so I know something of her arrangements. And when are j-ou going to marry, Clara?" I "Oh, papa, not for,some time yet. We have not thought of a date." I "Well, really, I don't know that there is any reason for delay. He has a competence, and it increases yearly. As long as you are quite certain that your mind is made up," "Oh", papa!" "Well, then, I really do not know why there should be any delay. And Ida, too, must be married within the next few months. Now, what I want to know is what I am to do when my two little companions run away froin-ihe." He spoke lightly, but his eyes wWe grave as he looked questioningly at his daughter. "Dear papa, you shall not be alone. It will be years before Harold and I think of marrying, and when we do you must come and live with us." "No,- no, dear. I know that you mean what you say, but I have seen something of the world, and I know that such arrangements never answer. There cannot be two masters in a house, and yet at my age my freedom is very necessary tome." "But yourwould be completely free." "No, dear, you cannot be that if you area guest irianbther man's house. .Can' you suggest no other'alterndtive?" ha re a a in it "No* no., That is, out of the question* Mrs., .^estmacott herself says that a woman's first duty, is to marry. Marriage, however, should be an equal partnership, as fthe points out. I should wish

yon'both to marry., but still I should like a suggestion from you, Qlara, as towhat I phoujd do." .. *"'fiut there ia.no hurry, papa. „Let us vait. I d(V n6't 'intend to marry yet."

"Well, Clara, if you can suggest nothing, I suppose that I must take the initiative myself," said he. "Then what do you propose, papa?" She braced herself as one who sees the blow which is about to fall,

He looked at her and hesitated. "How like your poor dear mother you are, Clara," he cried. "As I looked at j'ou then it was as if she had come back from the gra -e." He stooped toward her and kissed her. '"'There, run away to your sister, my dear, and do not trouble yourself about me. Nothing is settled yet, but you will find that all will come right."

Clara went up stairs sad at heart, for she was sure now that what she had feared was mdfced abtot to come to pass, and that her father was going to ask Mrs Westmacott to be-litis wife. In her pure and ^earnest injnd her mother's memory was eiislirine^'.'ag that of a saint, and the thought that .'any one .should take her place seemed a terrible desecration. Even worse, however, did this marriage appear when looked at from the point of view of her lather's future.

The widow might fascinate him by her knowledge of the world, her dash, her strength, her uncouveutionality—all these qualities Clara was willing to allow her—but she was convinced that she would be unendurable as a life companion. She had come to an age when habits are not lightly to be changed, nor was she a woman who was at all likely to attempt to change them. How would a sensitive man like lier father stand the constant strain of such a ife, a woman who was all decision, with no softness and nothing soothing in her nature?

It passed as a mere eccentricity when they heard of her stout drinking, her cigarette smoking, her occasional whiffs at a long clay pipe, her horsewhipping of a drunken servant and her companionship with the snake Eliza, whom she was in the habit of bearing about in her pocket. All this would become unendurable to her father when his first infatuation was past. For his own sake, then, as well as for her mother's memory, this match must be prevented. And yet how powerless she was to prevent it! What could she do? Could Harold aid her? Perhaps. Or Ida? ^t least she would tell her sister and see what she could suggest.

Ida was in her boudoir, a tiny little tapestried room, as neat and dainty as herself, with low walls hung, with Imari plaques and with pretty little Swiss brackets bearing blue Kaga ware or the pure white Coalport china. In a low chair beneath a red- shaded standing lamp sat Ida in a diaphanous-evening dresa^pf ihouspeline dq spie, the x^iddy light tinging her sweet ehildlikeiac©and

She pushed forward his chair and ran to fctch Ids slippers. "Dear old Clara! Come and sit down here beside me. I have not had a chat for days. But, oh, what a troubled face! What is it then?" She put up her forefinger and smoothed her sister's brow with it.

Clara pulled up a stool, and sitting down beside her sister passed her arm round her waist. "I am so sorry to trouble you, dear Ida," she said, "but 1 do not know what to do." "There's nothing the matter with Harold?" "Oh, no, Ida." "Nor with my Charles?" "No, no."

Ida gave a sigh of relief. "You quite frightened me, dear," said she. "You can't think how solemn you look. What is it, then?" "I believe that papa intends to ask Mrs. Westmacott to marry him."

Ida burst out laughing. "What can have put such a notion into your head, Clara?" "It is only too true, Ida. 1 suspected it before, and he himself almost told me as much with his, own -lips tonight. 1

don't think that it is a laughing mattor." 1

"Really, I could not help it. If you

had told me that those two dear old ladies opposite, the Misses Williams, were both engaged you would not have surprised me more. It is really top funny." "Funny, Ida? Think of any one taking the place of dear mother."

But her sister was of a more practical and less sentimental nature. "I am sure," said she, "that dear mother would like papa to do whatever would make him most happy. We shall both be away, and why should papa not please himself/" "But think how unhappy he will be. You know how quiet "he is in his ways and how eveif & little thing will upset him. How could hiS'live with a Wife who would make his whole life a series of I surprises? Fancy what a whirlwind she I must be in. a house. A man at his age cannot, change his ways. I am sure .he would be miserable."

Ida's face grew graver, and she pondered over the matter for a few minutes. "I really think that you are right, as usual," said she at last. "I admire Charley's aunt very much, you know, and 1 think that she is a very useful and good person, but I don't think she would do as a wife for poor quiet papa." "But he will certainly ask her, and 1 really think that she intends to accept him. Then it would be too, late to interfere. We have only a few days at the most. And what can we do? How can we hope to make him change his ir.ir.d?" I Again Ka pondered. "He has never trd what it is to live y/ith a strong mint. :-d woman." said she. "If we could only get hito to realise it in time! Oh,

Clara, I have it, I have it! Such a lovely plan!" She leaned back in her chair .and burst into a fit of laughter SQ: natural and so hearty that Clara had to forget her troubles and join in it. "Oh, it. is beautiful!" she gasped, at last. "Poor papa! What a time he ^rill ^ave! But it's all for his own good, as he used to pay when we had to be punished when we were little. Oh, Clara, I do hope your heart won't fail you." "I would do anything to save him, dear." "That's it. You. must steel yourself by that thoii^ht." "But what is your plan?" "Oh, I am so proud of it. We will tire him forever of the widow and of all emancipated women. Let me see, what are Mrs. Westmacott's main ideas? You have listened to her more than I. Women should attend less to household duties. That is one, is it not?" "Yes, if they feel they have capabilities for higher things. Then she thinks that ever j* woman who has leisure should take up the stuly of some branch of science, and that as far as possible every woman should qualify herself for some trade or profession, choosing for preference thoge which have been hitherto monopolized by men. To enter the others would only be to intensify the present competition." "Quite so. That is glorious!" Her blue eyes were dancing with mischief, and she clapped her hands in her delight. "What else? She thinks that whatever a man can do a woman should be allowed to do also—does she not?". "She says so." "And about dress? The short, skirt and the divided skirt are what she belieVes in." ."Yes." •f

Little aid poor Dr. Walker imagine as he sat at his breakfast table next morniftjg that the two sWeet girls who sat on either side of tim were deep in a conspiracy, and that he, munching innocently. at his muffins, was the victim against whom their wiles were planned. Patipiitly'they waited until at last their operiitig came. "It is a beautiful day," he remarked. "It will do for ilrs. Westmacott. She was thinking of having a spin upon her tricycle." "Then we must call early. We both intended to see her after breakfast." "Oh, indeed!" The doctor looked pleased. "You know, pa," said Ida, "it seems to us that we really have a very great advantage in having Mrs. Westmacott living so.near." "Why so, doar?" "Well, because she ip so advanced, you know If we only study her ways, we may advance ourselves also." "I think I have heard you say, papa," remarked Clara, "that she is the type of the woman of the future."

A Railroad Man Cured,

Mr. Tom E. Kline, an engineer, forty years of age, residing at 640 East Ohio street, Indianapolis, Ind., who has ran an engine for two years on the Wabash road, and thirteen years 011 the Monon road, much of that time having been the engineer on the fast newspaper train has, for the past ten years, suffered from indigestion in its worst form. He had a continual heavy feeling in his stomach, so that he had to lie in bed to ease his pain. This indigestion caused chronic diarrhoea- and sleeplessness. He had to be very careful as to his diet, and could only eat as simple a food as potatoes sparingly. He took four boxes of LYON'S SEVEN WONDERS, and now he can eat anything. His digestion is perfect he can sleep well, and he gives it as his opinion that the. medicine does everything that is claimed for it. He heartily recommends it to all persons suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder.

"1 am very piea: eci to Dear you speax so sensibly, my dears. I certainly think that she is a woman whom you may very well take as your model. The more intimate you are with her the better pleased I shall be." "Then that is settled," said Clara demurely, and the talk drifted to other matters.

All the morning the two girls sat extracting from Mrs. Westmacott her most extreme views as to the duty of the one sex and the tyranny of the other. Absolute equality, even in details, was her ideal. Enough of the parrot cry of unwomanly and unmaidenly. It had been invented by man to scare woman away when she poached too nearly upon hi» precious preserves. Every woman should be independent. Every woman should learn a trade. It was their duty to push in where they were least welcome. Then they were martyrs to the cause and pioneers to their weaker sisters. Why should the washtub, the needle and the house' keeper's book be eternally theirs? Might they not reach higher—to the consulting room, to the bench and even to the pnl|it?

Mrs. Westamott sacrificed her tricycS* ride in her eagerness over her pet tab* ject, and her two fair disciples drank btevery word and noted her every snggO» tion for future use. That afternoon tfacjr went shopping in London, and befosv evening strange packages began to handed in at the doctor's door. The plot' was ripe for execution, and one of ,th» conspirators was merry and jubilaritr while the other was very nervous and troubled.

When the doctor came down to th*' dining room next morning, he was sur^ s,v prised to find that his daughters had aH* ready been up some time. Ida was installed at one end of the table, with a spirit lamp, a curved glass flask and several bottles in front of her. The contents of the flask were boiling furiousIyr .: while a villainous smell filled the rc»in^ Clara lounged in an armchair wi^fr-jMr.su* feet upon a second one, a blue jw^ered book in her hand ajid a huge mjyp of th» British islands spread across her lap. "Hullo!" cried the doctor, bliii^uig"' and sniffing, "wliere's the brealifast?1^ "Oh, didn't you order it?" asked"fila. "I! No why should I!" He rang the bell. "Why have you not laid the breakfast.
