that they had saved. She had **friends among the rich people;”’ carriages were
apartments being on the first floor. She had lived for ten years as ccok in one family. and the fame of her dishes was yet great in the land. She still earned many a dollar at feasts and with her fruit cake and other delicacies. which many people of her town believe there is no one but she can make.
‘‘Ah, yon do have cause to be thank- fal, Mrs. Tilley.”’ said Eliza Merry from the depths of her heart. Eliza was a little wisp of a gray haired, nevtral tinted, melancholy woman, who. ac cording to the tenants, ‘‘was born to no good luck.’’ She had been a submissive wife toa drunken and cruel husband and a devoted mother to three wild sons, all safe under the ground now where she could praise and love them without fear. Quite alone in the world she earned her livelihood as a charwo man, keeping offices neat. She made enough to live barely, and that was all If she had any pleasures, they came fro:n the woman before her
‘Yes, Iam thankful,” said Mrs. Til ley. “I don’t mind telling I've saved for a year past, and ‘lotting on going and I don't think it’s wrong. for Jim and Mercy are going to take the two biggest children, and they'll see all the glories of the world too.

When a baby smiles in its sleep it is the mother’s fond belief that an angel is kiss- \ ingit. Nowoman \\ attains the su-
preme joy of wo- manhood until .she knows the \. caressing touch 4%. of a first - born’s fingers. No wo- man knows the supreme sorrow of womanhood until she sees her baby in the cold embrace of death.
Thousands of women daily achieve wo- manhood’s supremest joy, only to meet, a few days or weeks or months later, its supremest sorrow. This is because so many babies are born into the world with the seeds of death already sowu in their little bodies. If a woman would have healthy, robust children. strong and able to withstand the usual little illnesses of chifdhood, she must “look before she leaps.”’
If a woman will take the proper care of her health in a womanly way, during the period of prospective maternity, she may
otect herself against much pain and suf- iting and possible death, and insure the health of herchild. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest of all medicines for prospective mothers. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of maternity and makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones the tortured nerves. It banishes the usual discomforts of the expectant period and makes baby’s advent to this world easy and almost painless. It insures an ample supply of nourishment. It is the greatest known nerve tonic and invigorator for women. All good dealers sell it. Say “No” and stick to it when urged to accept a substitute said to be ‘Just as g as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.’’
“] had miscarried twice and was so weak I covld not stand on my feet,” writes Mrs. Minnie Smith, P. M., of Lowell, Lane Co., Oregon. ne took two bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription and now have a healthy baby and am stronger than for twelve years.”

They'll give you ether to smell and put you tosleep, and when you wake upit'll all be gone, and you'll never need to drag around in torment, but be light and spry, like you was a young woman.

Liza. won't you hark to the doc- |
till March! Don’t you throw away your |
life! Don’t, for my sake, that wouldn't know how to git along without you!” The tears fairly glittered in her black eyes with her eagerness, but Eliza lis- tened heavily and shook her head. ‘‘I’m feared of them hospitals,’’ she mutter- ed. ‘William Mix, he told me himself there wa'n't no need having his leg cut off, a good doctor told him, but they took him to a hospital, and he couldn't help hisself, and they took it off, and him on a wooden leg ever since.”’ ‘‘William Mix ‘u’d of been a dead man in a coffin if he hadn’t lost his leg!’’ cried Mrs. Tilley stoutly. ‘*And they treated him good as gold, and well he knows it, but he loves to talk and criticise. Ain’t I heard him criticising the president of the United States only yisterday? Him that don’t know enough to run a chicken yard, for all his chickens died when he tried to have a incubator, and his poor wife work- ing all winter, she did, to pay for the thing, because it burned up! You know it yourself, ‘Liza Merry And he criti- cised my cake, that’s never before hada hard word from any one ever bought it and paid money for it. but him that got it for nothing thought it wanted
the least bit more spice’’— Mrs. Tilley paused to take breath, and Eliza rose. “TY ain't defending him, but sich things frighten a body, you know,’’ she ventured to say as she edged to the door. ‘‘I gct to go now, Mrs. Tilley.” She would not stay. although Mrs. Tilley proffered coffee and coffee cake. She pleaded engagements and presently the widow saw her plodding wearily across the yard with a great basket. “She’s killing herself!’’ cried Mrs.
Tilley angrily. ‘‘Well, it ain't my busi-
ness. She ain’t no kin.’”’ Still frowning, the widow went to a chest of drawers (she called it a chif- foner) and took ont a book of photo- graphs and a red book lateled ‘‘Guide of the Fair.”” ‘Now, I'll enjoy my- self,"" she said. ‘‘I’ll look at all the places I’m going tosee. The Midway— ain't that a name! I'll see the pano- rama. It wili be most like going to Switzerland. Won't Mary Frances open her little eyes when I take her in? I mean to take her into all the shows, bless her little heart! I wish Jane would dress that child more sensible. Like’s not she won’t have any long sleeved flannels ‘long, and the lake breeze so cold as ’tis. Oh, well. Jane's a good girl and she has gota good mn, that keeps his job even in the hard times, God be praised! Won't ‘Liza open her eyes when I tell her about all the things I’ll see!"" She frowned agzin. “Why won’t she tend to that? I know very well it’s pride, that’s what it is, cause she ain’t got money to pay. It wotid cost money; that’s it, and that’s why she was asking William Mix what it cost, and he told her what he paid— which I’ll bet anything he didn’t, for it’s a sad heart his doctor has waiting for his bill—I know that. And I mind now how she went round with her face all kind of drawn up the day after. The day was little Mary Frances’ birthday. too, and she gave her a whole quarter Yes, I mind it well It was ’cause he said so much, the lying scallawag, that she fairly give up all hope of saving the money and, kind of desperate, gave that quarter to thechild. Oh, dear! And the decent, quiet, willing body she is! She'll go on working till she drops. I know there’s many and many a day she can hardly drag one foot after another. But she works on just the same. But she hadn't ought to be so proud’ ’—
Suddenly she stopped short. She re- membered a time of sore distress in her own past, yet she had lived hungry for many a day that time rather than take the county aid or even tell her friends of her needs. **God forgive us ali.’” she added. ‘*t know how she feels.”
She took out her purse. There was money in it and a little slip of paper written over with figures. It represent vd the money waiting in the benk There was enough to pay fer Eliza's

horrors and asked Mrs. Mix, the erring and critical William being a printer at night work and not needing to be ask- ed also.
Mrs. Mix was very grateful and very talkative.
‘‘Have you seen how sick Mrs. Merry looks?’’ she began. ‘‘I saw her setting down outside of the courthouse step, her face that white you stopped to look at it, kinder rocking herself to and fro. That big policeman, down there, he knows her, and he come up while I was speaking. And he was real kind. He helped her home to the house, and he got a glass of beer for her. But he says to me, ‘That woman looks struck with death,’ says he, ‘and a better woman there never was!’ ’’
‘Nor there wasn’t, neither,” said Mrs. Tilley gruffly. ‘*Where is she
now ?”’ “Oh, [put her to bed and told her she wasn't to get up, neither.”’ ‘“‘Thank you, Mrs. Mix,’’ said Mrs. Tilley ‘‘Eliza’s got good friends, and you're one of ’em.”’ (To be Continued)
