L ! CHAPTER I. INTRODUCES MY HERO. Warburton was graduated from West Point, ticketed to a desolate frontier post, and would have worn out his existence there but for his guiding star, which was always making frantic efforts to- bolt Its established orbit. One day he was doing scout duty, perhaps half a. mile In advance of the pay train as they called the picturesque earavan which, consisting of a canopied wagon and a small troop of cavalry In dingy blue, made progress across the desert-like plain of Arizona. The troop was some ten miles from the post, and as there had been no sign of Red Eagle all that day, they concluded that the rumor of his being on a drunken rampage with half a dozen braves was only a rumor. Warburton had Just passed over a roll of earth, and for a moment the pay-train had dropped out of sight. It was twilight; opalescent waves of heat rolled above the blistered sands. A pale yellow sky, like an inverted bowl rimmed with -delicate blue and crimson hues, encompassed the world. The bliss of solitude fell on him, , and, being something of a poet, he rose to the stars. ' The smoke of his corn-cob pipe trailed lazily behind him. The horse under him was loping along easily.

"Go . ahead, then. Only, talking about Treasure Island, don't you and your $25,000 run into some old Long John Silver." Til take care." And Mr. Robert packed up his kit and sailed away. Not many months passed' ere he met his colonel again, and under rather embarrassing circumstances.

SUDDENLY

THE ANIMAL. IIIS HEAD.

LIFTED

Suddenly the animal lifted his head, and his brown ears went

forward. At Warburton's left, some hundred yards distant, was a clump of osage brush. Even as he looked, there came a puff of smoke, followed by the evil song of a bullet. My hero's hat was carried away. He wheeled, dug . his heels - Into his horse, and cut back over the trail. There came a second flash, a shock, and then a terrible pain In the calf of his left leg. He fell over the neck of his horse to escape the third bullet. He could see the Apache as he stpod out from behind the bush. Warburton yanked out his Colt and let fly. He heard a yell. It was very comforting. That was all he remembered of the skirmish.

CHAPTER II. INTRODUCES MY HEROINE. Let me begin at the beginning. The boat had been two days out of Southampton before the fog cleared away. On the afternoon, of the third, day Warburton curled up in his steamerchair and lazily viewed the blue October seas as they met and merged with the bjue October skies. I do not recollect the popular novel of that summer, but at any rate It lay flapping at the side of his chair, forgotten. At this particular m&ment this hero of mine was going over the monotony of the old days in Arizona, the sanddeserts, the unlovely landscapes, the dull routine, the Indifferent skirmishes with cattle-men and Indians; the pagan bullet which had plowed through his leg. And now it was all over; 'he had surrendered his straps; he was a private citizen, with an income sufficient for his needs: It will go a long way, $1,500 a year. If one does not attempt to cover the distance In a $5,000 motor-car; and he hated all locomotion that was not horse-flesh. ' For nine months he had been wandering over Europe, if not happy, at least in a satisfied frame of mind. Four of these months had been delightfully passed In Paris; and as his nomad excursions had invariably terminated In that queen of cities, I make Paris the starting point of his somewhat remarkable adventures. Besides, It was In Paris that he first saw her. And now, here he was at last, homeward-bound. That phrase had a mighty pleasant sound; It was to the ear what honey Is to the tongue. Still, he might yet have been in Paris but for one thing: She was on board this very boat v Suddenly his eyes opened full wide, bright with eagerness. "It is she!" he murmured. He closed his eyes again, the hypocrite! Permit me to Introduce you to my heroine. Mind you, she is not my ere

She was coming forward, leaning against the wind and inclining to the

uncertain roll of the ship. A gray

raincoat fitted snugly the youthful, rounded figure. Her hands were plunged into the pockets. You may be sure that Mr. Robert noted through

his half-closed eyelids these inconse

quent details. A tourist hat sat Jauntily on the fine light brown hair, that color which has no appropriate

metaphor. (At least, I have never

was always happy with his comparl

enough of military life in the west. He applied for his discharge, as the compulsory term of service was at an end. When his papers came he was able to get about with the aid of a crutch. One morning his colonel entered his subaltern's bachelor quarters. "Wouldn't you rather have a year's leave of absence than quit altogether, Warburton?" "A year's leave of absence?" cried the Invalid. "I am likely to get that, I am." "If you held a responsible position I dare, say It would be difficult. As it Is, I cnfy say that I can obtain it for you. It will be months before you can ride a horse with that leg." "I thank you. Col. Raleigh, but I think I'll resign. In fact, I have resigned." "We can withdraw that. If you but Bay the word. I don't want to lose you, lad. You're the only man around here who likes a joke as well as I do. And you will have a company if you'll only stick to it a little longer." "I have decided, Colonel. I'm sorry you feel like this about it You see, I have something like $25,000 laid away.

"As you please, Warburton." "Besides, Colonel, I have been reading Treasure Island again, and I've got the fever in my veins to hunt adventure, even a treasure. It's in my blood to wander and do strange things, and here , I've been hampered all these years with routine. I shouldn't care If we had a good fight once In a while.

all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa

thetic nature.

In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,

a builder and real estate operator, and

their early married life was marked by

prosperity and happiness, lhey nad four children, three sons and a

daughter.

In those good old fashioned days It

was common lor mothers to make their own home medicines from roots

and herbs, nature's own remedies

calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex

perience many of them gained a won

derf ul knowledge of the curative prop

erties of the various roots and herbs.

Mrs. Pinkham took a creat interest

in the study of roots and herbs.'their

characteristics and power over disease.

She maintained that just as nature so

bountifully provides in the harvest

fields and orchards vegetable foods of

all kinds ; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs

of the field there are remedies ex

pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and

it was her pleasure to search these out,

and prepare simple and effective medi

cines for her own family and friends.

Chief of these was a rare combina

tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the

cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu

liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink

ham's friends and neighbors learned

that her compound relieved and cured

and it became quite popular among

them.

All this so far was done freely, with

out money and without price, as labor of love.

But in 1873 the financial crisis struck

Lynn. Its length and severity were too

much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class

of business suffered most from

fearful depression, so when theCenten

nial year dawned it found their prop

erty swept away. Some other source

of income had to be found.

At this point Lydia E. Pinkham'i

Vegetable Compound was made known

to the world, -

The three sons and the daughter.

with their mother, combined forces to

restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which waa so good for their woman friends and ' neighbors was equally good for the

women of the whole world.

The Pinkhams had no money, and

little credit. Their first laboratory was the kitchen, where roots and

herbs were steeped on the stove, gradually filling a gross of bottles. Then came the question of selling it, for always before they had given it away freely. They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the '-medicine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham 'a

Vegetable Compound, and these were

distributed by the Pinkham sons in

Boston, ftew lork, and Brooklyn.

The wonderful curative properties ol

the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de

mand gradually increased.

In 1877, bv combined efforts the fam

ily had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from

that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to

day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege

table Compound have become house-

lold words everywhere, and many

tons of roots and herbs are used annually in its manufacture.

Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not

live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years

ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as

effectively as she could have done it herself.

Durincr her Ion? and eventful expe

rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful to pre

serve a record of every case that came to

her attention. The case of every sick

ing symptoms, treatment ana results-

were recorded for future reference, ana to-dav these records, together with

hundreds of thousands made since, are

available to sick women the world

over, and represent a vast collabora

tion of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and 'accuracy can hardly

be equaled in any library in the world.

With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her

daughter - in - law, the present Mrs.

Pinkham. She was care tully instructed

in all her hard-won knowledge, and

for years she assisted her in her vast

correspondence.

To her hands naturally fell the direction of the work when its originator passed away. For nearly twentyfive years she has continued it, and nothing in the work shows when the first Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham, now the mother of a large family, took it up. With women assistants, some aa capable as herself, the present Mrs. Pinkham continues this great work, and probably from the office of no other person have so many women been advised how to regain health. Kick women, this advice is "Yours for Health" freely given if you only write to ask for it. Such is the history of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ; made from simple roots and herbs ; the one great medicine for women's ailments, and the fitting monument to the noble woman whose name it bears.
