The Best Guaranty of Merit jb. Is Open Publicity. I ry bottle of Dr. Pierce's world&oed medicines leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo, N. Y., has printed upon its wrapper ail the ingredients entering into its composition. This fact aJon places Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines in a cla all by thenuielvef. They cannot be classed with patent or secret medicines because they are neither. This is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them ana recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities. The further fact that neither Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his

Favorite irescription " for weak, overworked, broken-down, nervous women, contains any alcohol, also entities them to a place all by themselves. Many years ago. Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is a better solvent and preservative of the medicinal principles residing in our indlgenons, or native, medicinal plants than is alcohol; and. further more, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of its own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient antlferment. Neither of the above medicine con tains alcohol, or any harmful, habitforming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure. Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think of using the ordinary patent, or secret medicines. Every ingredient entering into the comjosition of Dr. Pierce's medicines has the strongest kind of an endorsement from leading medical writers of the several schools of practice. No other medicines put np for like purposes has any such profetslonal endorsement. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. Constipation is the cause of many diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the disease. One Pellet" Is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic Druggists sell them, and nothing is "just as good." Easy to take as candy.

A Woman Tells How to Relieve Rheu matic Fains. I have been a very great sufferer from the dreadful disease, rheumatism for a number of years. 1 have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago when I bought a bottle of Cham berlain's Pain Balm. I found relief be fore I had used all of one bottle, but iept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked. Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by A. G. Luken & Co. ' DRAGGED T0 GALLOWS Young White Man Subdued With Ammonia.

O r f .- t - Synopsis of Preceding Chapters. CHAPTER I Thomas Erichsen, a young Englishman, has lost the mon1 ey with which he was to pay his passage out to India. He lends Captain I Blaydes 33, the amount of his pass age money, and in return gets a worthless check, which leaves him penniless. He confesses his error to Claire Harding, his boyhood sweetheart. II. James Edward William Daintree is in love with Claire, A great cmil struck to the girl's loyal heart. It was the doubt that had kept her awake, now a doubt no more. Her trembling ceased. She turned her back on Erichsen and read by the moonlight the candid words that he had written In St. James' park. "My own poor boy" she whispered through her tears. "Oh. thank heaven you had no money for those stamps!"' "Claire," he gasped, falling back, "do not speak to ine like that! I am not worthy. You don't understand. You should go your way and never think of me again." "There is somebody else," said th girl calmly. "Hushl" he said hoarsely. "It Is not that. I love you, my darling ah! God knows how truly now! Yet I have come to contemptible grief. I have been everything that's bad." He groaned. She said nothing, but caught his haud and pressed it. "Oh. Claire," he cried, "it was madness, I think! I was mad at leaving you and Old England perhaps forever. And the ship wouldn't sail, Claire; tfte ship wouldn't sail! When I went to tha office, thinking I had about three days, they told me she would be three weeks. I walked out of that office swearing I'd find some other, but all I found was the road to the bad. Drink and dice and cards! You asked mm to tell you all. I tell you all I can. I tell it you to1 set you against me and make you hate me forever. That Is the kindest thing. Claire, Claire, why don't you strike me? Why don't you scorn me and leave me to my fate? Oh, oh, I could bear It better than this!" Her warm arms were about him. They clasped him tight He could hear her heart and his own. Suddenly she stood apart from him, with small clinched fists glittering with rings. He held his breath. "The man who Is at the bottom of all this," said she, "who is he? How was it? You speak of him in your letter.Tell me more.", , "What is the use? The thing is done. It's past mending, and it was my own miserable fault. Most of my money went in fair play, and- riot! He only relieved me of the residue. Yet I tell you, Claire" (with sudden fury), "I'd go contentedly to my account if I could only kick him along in front of me the whole way! Yes, I'd hang for the hound and think the satisfaction cheap at the price!" "What is his name?" demanded Claire. "Blaydes," said Tom, "B-l-a-y-d--s. Captain Blaydes, forsooth, on half pay! Blaydes of the guards, who disgraced themselves for all time by not" He broke off and stood looking at the girl. ."By not what?" whispered Claire, who had glanced involuntarily through the gate toward the distant lighted windows, and. who was now trembling again, witn a new ana areaarui agitation. ; "By not cashiering your friend. Captain Blaydes !" "He is no friend of mine." "He is at your house tonight!" cried Erichsen, with uncontrolled excitement. "No he is not." "Then give me his address. "Tom I cannot" "You cannot? You who Bald yoa would do anything In your power to help me? And this is all I ask this villain's address! Oh, Claire, he is not fit for you to speak to!" Claire answered with deliberate reservations. Her duty was clear .as the stars. Tom and Blaydes must be kept apart that night at all events. Then many things must be done, but quietly aud with due forethought Above alL no fresh fuel must be addfti to the vindictive fires now smoldering In her lover's speaking eyes. So Claire decided to keep to herself her own opinion of Captain Blaydes. She had noticed without comment the heavy stick lying In the. grass. She turned faint at the thought of her fiery Tom encountering the captain so armed and so aggrieved, but she Insisted on his telling her of his wrong. Tom promised not fo seek an interview with Blaydes for two clear days and not to harm him then, and on this understanding Claire at last confessed that the captain had taken rooms for the summer in the village, ot West End, a bare mile from w hre th"y stood.

But it was now her turn to be refused. "No. Claire." he said. "I am comrajs back no more. You have put it In my power not only to have my little own again, but to redeem tho past, and I must set to work at once. If I don't get th:it 35 now yoa may hear of mo next in Horsemonger lane.

There may even be a few pounds over to make me deeeut when I land, and if that firm won't have me now some other may. You shall her of me from there. There are not going to be two false starts. And out day, Claire, I am coming back a better man than I go away, aud it will all b thanks to you. Oh, thank you for your, noble letter! It has saved me on th brink. little as I deserved it I shall never stoop or sink like this again. That I promise you. But you should think co more of me! I was never wor thy of you. I never can be that. It li best to forget tnv dear You must wof spoil your life by waiting for a man"Her palm sealed his" lips. "For the only man I want," she whispered through her tears. "Darling, I could wait forever!" "I will write and tell you about the 33," he continued, regaining control of his voice. "It will be all your doing, my own brave Claire. No, no! Not my own! Never that any more!" "Forever, darling! Forever aud ever and ever!" "No, no! Only be happy yonrself, VncT forgive bam for all' I made youTsuf fer. I shall never forgive myself. Goodby, beloved! Oh. goodby, good by'.' He strained her to his breast, but left no kiss upon those pleading, praying, upturned Hps. He was not worthy to touch them with his. He remembered this np to tho end. ' ' It was twenty, minutes past 10 by Captain Blaydes gold repeater when through the window of a hackney coach, creeping all too slowly along the Flncbley road, the captain recognized a wayfarer, who also recognized him, and thrust his iron gray bead through the opposite window to curse the coachman and bid him drive faster. As he pulled it In again Tom Erichsen scrambled Into the coach upon the other side, an unpleasant smile upon his set face and his thick stick In his hand. He had not promised, to avoid Blaydes if chance threw them together, and chance had done so, for Tom was on his way to make his" bed once more in the fields. "You Infernal ruffian! roared the captain. "HI, coachman! The police!" "Yon miserable swindler!" retorted Tom. "If you don't stop the coach at once and step outside with me you're a ruined man. ' I'll go on to the UardIngs with you and expose you" "The Hardlngs!" Yes. You see, I know all your little plans." "Little plans!" The captain gasped and stopped tho coach. CH AFTER IV. THE half pay officer was a thick set. youngish iunn, with u smooth, sly, yellow face and hair like spun steel. He walked with a chronic limp and a Mout gold headed caue and was seldom without the genial, flattering 8tnllj that had tempted Tom Erichsen ami other young flies before him into a parlor from which no pocket returned intact. "Come. -now, my good fellow,"" said his normal voice, "what the deuce H all this? You have treated me very cavalierly and I you very obligingly, I think, for the elder man. What Is It you want Mr.""My 35." "Your 3o? Yours? Look here, I begin to rernemher you. Your name 1 Eric-TSric something or other. And I was fool enough to play with you. Eric. I remember that to.
