mother is happy with it all in blissful an- ticipation of the dear, soft nestling little bit of humanity which is all her very own.

If the mother is phvsicially weak or ail- ing, the burden of motherhood is far heavier than it oughtto be. The greatest lightener of the burdens of maternity which sciemce has ever discovered is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It was devised by an expert specialist for the express object of strength ening and healing the organs which make motherhood possible. :

Taken before the baby comes, this won- derful *‘ Prescription” relieves the ordeal of all danger and nearly all pain. It gives both mother and child a permanent in- crease of constitutional vigor.

The properties and uses of this wonder- working ‘‘ Prescriptioa’’ are more fully de scribed in one chapter of Dr. Pierce’s great thousand-page book, ‘‘ The People’s Com- mon Sense Medical Adviser,’’ which wili be sent free, paper-bound, on receipt of thirty-one one-cent stamps to pay cost of customs and mailing only, or cloth-bound for fifty stamps.

Mrs. W. Robinson, of Springhill, Cumberland Co., Nova Scotia, writes: ‘I feel that I cannot say enough about your ‘Favorite Prescription.’ I ws confined on the 8th of April, and I was only sick about thirty minutes in all. I can truthfully say that your medicine worked wonders in my case. Although the physician was in the house T did not seem to require his aid.”

We had reached Baker street, and had stopped at the door, He was searching his pockets for the key, when some one passing said:

“Then that will simplify matters.” We descended, and started off once more to Briony Lodge.

“To an English lawyer named Nor- ton.”

‘‘T am mm hopes that she does.”

‘‘And why in hopes?”

“It is true. And yet— Well! I

wish she had been of my own station!

What a queen she would have made !” He relapsed into a moody silence which was not broken until we drew up in Serpentine avenue.

- The deor of Briony Lodge was open, and an elderly woman stood upon the steps. She watched us with a sardonic eye as we stepped from the brougham.

“Mr. Sherlock said she.

“I am Mr. Holmes,” answered my companion, looking at her with a ques- tioning and rather startled gaze.
