.A. MOTHER'S LOVE.

What U More Beautiful than a Mother's Love ? Wbo ran to help me when I fell And would some pretty story tell. Or kiss the place to make it well. My mother." A mother's worries are many. She iometimes forgets her own bodily discomforts because of her overpowering love for the child. She becomes broken down, sleepless, nervous, irritable and feels tired from morning until night. Many mothers of experience can tell you that at such a time they have been relieved, benefited and strengthened and put into proper health by taking a prescription which their mothers had told them was the best woman's tonic and nervine to be taken at such times. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has enjoyed an enviable reputation for over a third of a century. In all that time it has . sold more largely in the United States than any other tonic for woman's needs, and to-day its sales are greater .than ever. Dr. Pierce made up this Inscription from native medicinal roots without the use of a particle of alcohol and for the single purpose of curing those diseases peculiar to women and when there is a lack of womanly strength to bear the burdens of maternal duty. How few women come to this critical time with adequate strength. The reason why so many women sink under the strain of motherhood is because they are unprepared. Is preparation then required for motherhood? asks the young woman. And every experienced mother answers wes." "I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to use Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Va. The reason for this advice is that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best preparative for the maternal function. No matter how healthy and strong a woman may be, she cannot use "Favorite Prescription" as a preparative for maternity without gain of health and comfort. But it is tho women who are not strong who best appreciate the great benefits received from the use of w Fa vorite Prescription." For one thing its use makes the baby's advent practically Sainless. It has in many, cases reduced ays of suffering to a brief few hours. It has changed the period of anxiety and struggle into a time of ease and comfort. A DUTY WOMEK OWE THEMSELVES. "Good actions speak louder than words," so, too does the testimony of many thousands of women during a third of a century speak louder than mere claims not backed by any such record of cures. Miss Emma Petty, 1128 S. Olive Street, Indianapolis, Ind.,Past Vice-President, Daughters of Pocahontas, Minneola Council, also Organist, South Baptist Church, Indianapolis, writes: "For several years I suffered with leucorrhoea, which was a serious drain on my vitality, sapping my strength and causing severe headaches, bearing-down pains and a feneral worn-out feeling, until I really ad no desire to live. I had many medicines roommended to me and tried many, but did not get permanent relief until I took Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription. In two months I was much better and stronger, and in four months I was well. Have had no more disagreeable discharge, no more pain; so I have very reason to praise Favorite Pre SUNDAY EXCURSION RATES VIA 4 J Dayton & Western Dayton and Return, - - $1.00 w 1 Y" . w r - . : Tickets at above price will be fold every Sunday until f either notice. 4

' All the ingredients entering into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are printed in plain English on each bottle wrapper. Dr. Pierce thereby shows that he is not afraid to tell his patients just what this medicine is made of. This is not true of any other medicine especially designed for the cure of woman'e peculiar ailments. This M Prescription " is also the only woman's medicine sold through druggists that does not contain a large percentage of alcohol; it contains not a drop. As an indication of the high esteem in which the medical profession are coming to regard the several ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, for weak and ailing women is composed, we have room here to insert orily the following: Dr. John Fyfe, of Saugatuek, Conn., Editor of the Department of Therapeutics in The Electric Review says of Unicorn root (Helonias liioica) one of the chief ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription: "A remedy which invariably acts as a uterine invigorator and always favors a condition which makes for normal activity of the entire reproductive system, cannot fail to be of great usefulness and of the utmost importance to the general practitioner' of medicine." "In Ilelonias we have a medicament which more fully answers the above purposes than avy other drug with which I am acquainted. In the treatment of diseases peculiar to women it is seldom that a case is seen which does not present some indication for this remedial agent." "The following are among the leading indications for Helonias: Pain or aching in the back, with leucorrhoea; atonic (weak) conditions of the reproductive organs of women, mental depression and irritability, associated with chronic diseases of the reproductive organs of women, constant sensation of heat in the region of the kidneys: menorrhagia. ("flooding") due to a weakened condition of the reproductive system; amenorrhoea, arising from or accompanying an abnormal condition of the digestive organs and an anaemic (thin blood) habit; dragging sensations in the extreme lower part of the abdomen." If more or less of the above symptoms are present, no invalid women can do better than take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, one of the leading ingredients of which is Unicorn root, or Helonias. MEN AND WOMEN should have a medical book handy, for knowledge is power. They should know about anatomy and physiology. They should have a book that treats of the sexological relations of both sexes out of and in wedlock, as well as how and when to advise son and daughter.

CHAPTER XXIII. SOMETHING ABOUT HEROES. From Warburton's dramatic entrance upon the scene to Karloff's first movement, scarce a rainute has passed, though to the girl and her father an eternity seemed to come and go. Karloff was a brave man. Upon the instant of his recovery he spiang toward Warburton, silently and with premeditation: he must regain sonic fragment of those plans. He would not, could not. suffer tcta! defeat before this girl's eyes; his blood rebelled airainst the thought. He expected the

groom Jo sit ike him, but James simply ; caught him by the arms and thurst him Lack. j "No. Count: no. no: thev shall burn to the veriest crisp!" " ' "Stand aside, lackey!" cried Karloff, a sob of rae strangling him. Again j he rushed upon Warburton, his clenched hand uplifted. Warburton did not even raise his hands this time. So they stood, . their faces within a hand's span of each other, the one smiling coldly, the other in the attitude of ftriUins a blow. Karloff's hand fell unexpectedly, but not on 1hf man in front of him. "Good God, no! a sentlem.m does not strike a lackey! Stand asido. stand aside!" "They shall burn. Count," quietly; "thev shall burn, because 1 am physic::l!v the stronger." Warburton turned 'i irk I v and with the top of his boot shifted the plowing pricket and rorvwed tho fnme-. "I never realized till torjiriit that I loved my country half so w (11, Lackey? Yes, for the prost:tit." lie had not looked nt the j'irk "Ah'" Karloff cried, intelligence li'-htin his fare. "You are no lackey!" subduing bis voire. James smiled. "You are quite rpmarkable." "Who are you? I demand to know!" "First and foremost. I am a citizen of the United States; I have been a soldier besides. If was my common rip;ht to destroy these plans, which indirectly menaced my country's safety. These," pointing to the hanknotes, "are yours. I believe. Nothing further requires your presence here." "Yes, yes; I remember now! Fool that I have been!" Karloff struck his forehead in helpless rape. "I never observed you closely till now. I recall. The secret service: Europe, New York. Washington: vou have known it all along. Spy!" "That is an epithet which easily re bounds. Spy? Why, yes; I do for my country what you do for yours." "The name, the name! I can not recollect the name! The beard is gone, but that does not matter," excitedly. Warburton breathed easier. While he did not want the girl to know who he was just then, he was glad that Karloff's memory had taken his thought away from the grate and its valuable but rapidly disappearing fuel. "Father! Father, what is it?" cried the girl, her voice keyed to agony. "Father!" The two men turned about. Anncsley had fainted In his chair. Both Warburton and Karloff mechanically started forward to offer aid, but she re pelled their approach. "Do not come near me; you have done enough. Father, dear!" She slapped the colonel's wrists and un loosed his collar. The antagonists, forgetting their own battle, stood silently watching hers. Warburton's mind was first to clear and without a moment's hesitation he darted from the room and immediately returned with a glass of water. He held it out to the girl. Their glances clashed; a thousand mute, angry questions in her eyes, a thousand mute, humble answers in his. She accepted the glass, and her hand trembled as she dipped her fingers into tho cool depths and flecked the drops into the unconscious man's face. Meanwhile Karloff stood with folded arms, staring melancholically into the grate, where his dreams had disap peared In smoke. By and by the colonel sighed and opened his eyes. For a time he did not know where he was, and his gaze wandered mistily from face to face. Then recollection came back to him. recollection bristling with thorns. He struggled to his feet and faced Warburton. The girl put her arms around him to steady him, but he gently disengaged himself. "Are you from the secret service, sir? If so, I am ready to accompany you wherever you say. I, who have left my blood on many a battle-ground, was about to commit a treasonable act. Allow me first to straighten up my affairs, then you may do with me as you please. I am guilty of a crime; I have the courage to pay the penalty." TT is calm was extraordinary, and even Karloff looked at him with a sparkle of admiration. As a plummet plunges into the sea, so the girl's look plunged into Warburton's soul: and had he b?en an officer of the law, he knew that he would have utterly disregarded his duty. "I am not a secret service man, sir." he replied unevenly. "If I were." pointing to the grate, "your plana would not have fed the fire." ; "Wbo are you,, then, and what do you In my house in this guise T" proudly. "I am your head stable-man for the present. It was all by chance. I came into this room yesterday to get ft. boolj - on. veterinary surgery.- I ac-

cidentTy saw a plait r jfave been a soldier. I knew that such a thing had no rightful place In this house. . . . 1 was coming across the lawn, when I looked into the window. ... It is not for me to judge you, sir. My duty lay in destroying those plans berore they harmed any one." "No, it is not for you to judge rue," said the colonel. "I have gambled away my daughter's fortune. To keep her in ignorance of the fact and to return to her the amount I had wrongfully used, I consented to sell to Russia the coast fortification plans of ray

1 country, such as I could draw from memory. No, it i;s not for you to judge me; only God has the right to do that." "I am only a groom." said Warburton, simply. "What I have heard I j shall forget." Ah, had he but looked at the girl's face then! A change came over Karloff's countenance; his shoulders drooped; the melancholy fire died out of his face and eyes. With an air of resignation and a clear sense of the proportion of things, be reached out and took up the rote upon which Annesley had scrawled his signature. Warburton, always alert, seized the count's wrist. He saw the name of a tank and the sum of five figures. "What is this?" he demanded. "it is mine," replied the count, haughtily. Warburton released hirn. "He speaks truly," said the colonel. "It is his." "The hoirr of madness is past," the Russian began, slowly and musically. The tone was musing. He seemed oblivious of his surroundings and that three pairs of curious eyes were leveled in his direction. He studied the note, creased it. drew it through his fingers. smoothed it and caressed it. "And I should have done exactly as I threat- ' ened. There is. then, a Providence which watches jealously over the innocent? And I was a skeptic! . . . Two hundred thousand dollars," picking xip the packet of bank-notes and balancing "it on his hand. "Well It is a sum large enough to tempt any man. How the plans and schemes of men crumble to the touch! Ambition is but the pursuit of mirages Mademoiselle, you will never know wh'it the ignominy of this moment has cost me nor how well I love you. I come of a race of men who pursue their heart's desire through fire and water. Obstacles are nothing; the end is everything, in Europe I should have won, in honor or in dishonor. But this American people, I do not quite understand them; and that is why I have played the villain to no purpose." He paused, and a sad, bitter smile rlayed over his face. "Mademoiselle," he continued, "henceforth, wherever I may go, your face and the sound of your voice shall abide with me. I do not ask you to forget, hut I ask you to forgive '' Again he paused. She uttered no sound. "Well, one does not forget nor forgive these things In so short a time. And, after all, it was your father's folly. Fate threw him across my path at a critical moment but I had reckoned without you. Your father is a brave man, for he has the courage to offer himself to the law; I have the courage to give you up. I, too, am a soldier; I recognize the value of retreat" To Warburton he said: "A groom, a hostler, to upset such plans as these! I do not know who you are, sir, nor how to account for your timely and peculiar appearance. Dut I fully recognize the falseness of your presence here. Eh, well, this is what comes of race prejudice, the senseless battle which has always been and always will be waged between the noble and the peasant. Had I observed you at the proper time, our positions might relatively have been changed. Useless retrospection!" To Annesley; "Sir, we are equally culpable. Here Is this note of yours. I might, as a small contribution toward righting the comparative wrong which I have done you, I might cast it Into the fire. But between gentlemen, situated as we are, the act would be as useless as it would be impossible. I might destroy the note, but you would refuse to accept such generosity at my hands, which Is well." "What you say is perfectly true." The colonel drew his daughter closer to him. "So." went on the count, putting the note in his pocket, "tomorrow I 6hall have my ducats' "My bank will discount the note," said the colonel, with a proud look; "my indebtedness shall be paid In full." "As I have not the slightest doubt. Mademoiselle, fortune Ignores you but temporarily; misfortune has brushed only the hem of your garment, as it were. Do not let the fear of poverty alarm you," lightly. "I prophesy a great public future for you. And when you play that 'Largo of Handel's, to a breathless : audience, who knows that I may not be hidden behind the curtain of some stall, drinking in the heavenly sound j made by that loving bow? . . . Romance enters erery human being's life; like love, and hate, it is primitive, ; But to every book fate writes finis." I He thrust the bank notes carelessly into his coat pocket, and walked slowly toward the hallway. At the threshold he sippped ai looked back .The, gjrj

"If only I might go with the memory of your forgiveness," he said. "I forgive you." "Thank you." Then Karloff resolutely proceeded;. the portiere fell behind him. Shortly after she heard the sound of closing doors, the rattle of a carriage and then all became still. Thus the handsome barbarian passed from the scene. The colonel resumed his chair, his arm propped on a knee and his heac bowed in his hand. Quickly the gir fell to her knees, hid her face on his breast, and regardless of the groom's presence, silently wept. "My poor child!" faltered the colonel. "God could not have intended to give you so wretched a father. Poverty and dishonor, poverty and dishonor; I who love you so well have brought you these!" Warburton, biting his ti enabling lips, tiptoed cautiously to the window, opened It and stepped outside. He raised his fevered face gratefully to the icy rain. A great and noble plan had come to him.
