Edith’s eyes grew larger and larger as she listened, her sense of evil she
had wrought deepened, and her imetinc tive credulity vanished before the grav- ity of Mrs. Winington’s looks and tones.

One of a healthy woman’s princi- pal charms is her vivacity of car- riage—the dainty, springy steps with which she walks. The woman who suffers from weak- ness and disease of the distinctly feminine organ- ism, who is troub- led with back- aches, stitches in the sides, drag- ging down or burning sensa- tions, sick head- aches and the multitude of other ills that accom- pany these diswr- ders, cannot have the dainty, bound- ing carriage of a healthy woman. She will show in every movement
that she is a sufferer.
There is a wonderful medicine for troub- les of this description, that has stood the test for thirty years, and has been used suc- cessfully by many thousands of women: It is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned and makes them strong, healthy and vigorous, It allays inflamma- tion, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It
tones and builds up the nerves. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent ind skillful specialist, for thirty vears chief
nsulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. This is one of the greatest medical institu- tions in the whole world. During the thirty years that Dr. Pierce has been at its head ne has gained the unbounded respect of itizens at Buffalo, and they d it by making him their representa- in the National Congress, from which mn he resigned to give the remainder of his life to the practice of his chosen profession. He will cheerfully answer, free of charge, any letters written to him ty suffering women. Address, as above. ** writes Mrs. W. R. Bates, worth, Trumbull Co., Ohio, “I took Doctor s Favorite Prescription, which has beer a renefhit to me.

“Whet shall I do? what shall I do?” suid Edith, unconsciously, aloud.
“Are you in earnest when you ask me what you shall do, Edith?’ asked Mrs. Winington; “and will you believe th:it I am disinterested in the advice I offer?’
“Believe you! Of course I believe you thoroughly!”

“Ah! do, do be my friend, I have so few;”’ and Edith ventured to pass her

with more of a caress than she had ever
dared before. “Oh, rest tranquil, my dear girl. I am very loyal.” Edith hurried away, and Mrs. Win- ington, rising fetch a French novel m the table, looked after with a | sis h “She i nice little thing, and I do hope, when I have don? Leslie's love-

CHAPTER VI. MANEUVERING.
While Mrs. Wivington fulfilled her diplomatic mission, Jack Maitland had been reasoning with himself against his ¢wn weakness in yielding to his strong inclination to prolong his stay within Mrs. Winington’s charmed circle. He could in no way help Edith, he told him- self, and each day they met ony creased his miserable anxiety and in- decision. s
However keen her natural perception of truth and reality, so accomplished a man of the world as Beaton would end by convincing her that he was worthy all trust and affection. So he mused as he was returning from ar expedition tu Hampton Court with his New Zealand friends, who had complained loudly that they never saw anything of him, that he had quite cut them, etc. etc.

It was from Major Mait- land informing him that his mother had tuken a chill, and had been attacked with bronchitis; that although there wis no very immediate danger, it would be well if he could return home at once. Maitland was startled, something in the tcne of the communication alarmed him.
