THE DafLY EXAMINER. CHARLOTTETOWN, SEPTEMBER 9, 1899

A GATHERING OF LAVEOLR,

By ANNIE 5. HOLDSWORTH.

(Copyright, 1899, by the Author.]

The postman coming down the road could see Miss Caroline in the garden picking lavender. Tuis lavender Miss Jane would afterward make into scent bags for sale. A good summer added so much to their income, but this year

here were rumors of a blight, and Miss Caroline's were anxious as peered among the bushes.

While she picked, Joseph purred and rubbed himself against her gown, there- by hindering the work. Every few minutes the old lady stooped to stroke and admire his tortoise shell sides. Next to Miss Jane. who was still a juvenile —being ten years younger than her sis- ter—Joseph was Miss Caroline’s ideal of youth and youthful spirits. To be sure, no one could remember when Jo- seph was a kitten, but to Miss Caroline he was still young and delightfully frisky

She noticed now that his pur helda hoarse note, and her face became still more anxions. She put up her glasses and gazed at him in concern

‘Dear, dear!’’ she cried. ‘‘I do hope you are not going to be ill, Joseph What should I do without you? If we were parted—if yon died’’—

Here speech failed, and the quick tears of age gathered in her eyes.

She was a tall, thin old woman, that looked not unlike a sprig of faded lav- ender. Her gray gown was faded and matched her gray eyes and her faded hair. but her sentiment, like the fresh lavender in her apron, had a fragrant pangency. Suddenly she wiped away her tears, and her face brightened. She had seen the postman coming down the road.

It was many years since he had stop- ped at Lavender cottage, but Miss Jane cherished a pleasant illusion that some day he would bring tidings of a for tune, and his passing slong the road was the event of the day for the sisters So strongly did Miss Jane believe in her hopes that she had infected Miss Caroline with her expectations. Miss Jane had a practical mind. No doubt she knew that it gave zest to spare meals to be- lieve each one the last they would con sume. Hunger could be borne when hope spoke of a letter on its way that would bar the door forever against hunger. It set a halo about the parlor to picture themselves in it undisturbed and safe until death called them.

As long as they believed in the for- tune they did not see the skeleton that sat all day on the hearth—the dread of the union. Confidence in the letter hid from their eyes the bare boards of the workhouse coffin.

If it was Miss Caroline who every summer spared a dozen scent bags for the old women in the workhouse, it was Miss Jane who planted daisies on the paupers’ graves and tended them all the year round. She was very piti ful for the multitude cf dead that char ity covered so grudgingly.

Miss Caroline glanced from the post- man to the window. Then she smiled and nodded meaningly. Yes, Miss Jane was there sewing. She would see the postman.

The noise of the latch gave her a shock. She could not believe her eyes The expected had happened. The post- man had stopped at the gate. He was coming up the path.

The corners of the apron fell from her trembling fingers, and the lavender

eyes she

We hear a great deal these days of our puritan fore- fathers, but little concerning the wives and moth- ers who landed at Plymouth Rock ani founded that colony which was destined to play such a large part in our history.

who shall come after, quitely con- tenting them- selves with such hardships and difficul-

ties as shall fall upon them.”

What self-renunciation and heroic purpose was this! They drowned witches to be sure, but that was no part of their puritanism. It is to the puritan women we owe 50 much for that spirit in our people which gives them the fortitude to endure hardship and stake life and fortune for their convictions.

The American women of to-day have the spirit of their puritan mothers, but their constitutions are not rugged or able to en- dure half the hardships of these New Eng- land ancestors. Very often they are run- down with weaknesses and irregularities peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain upon their vitality makes them chronic in- valids. Many women hesitate to go to their family physician, because they dread the local examinations so generally insisted upon by practitioners.

Such women should write Dr. R. 7 Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., giving a ful description of their symptoms, history, etc., So that he can give them the best ssible medical advice. If Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- tion seems to sttit the case the Doctor will say so. . If not, then he will give medical vice which will put sach women on the rapid road to recovery and health.

Miss Jane polished her spectacles, and her glance caressed the furniture that had grown old with them. ‘I was al- ways afraid we might have te sell them,’’ she whispered.

Miss Caroline lifted Joseph to her knee. ‘‘Now we can afford cats’ meat for Joseph,’’ she laughed. ‘‘and pepper- mints for the old people in the work- house. And I should like to give them a little shawl each. We know what it is to miss warmth.”

“Can we afford them for ourselves, yet?’ said Miss Jane. She hated to cast doubt on Miss Caroline’s confidence. **Ah, sister,’’ she went on, ‘‘if we could purchase liberty !’’

‘*Who knows?’ said Miss Caroline, blithely. ‘‘We might have enough to build amlshouses’’—

“Or an infirmary!’’ cried Miss Jane, forgetting her doubts. ‘‘I should like the poor to have a strong young nurse when they are ill 1 thonght of that when | had bronchitis last year.”

“T forget that I must seem very old

Miss Jane briskly. ‘‘I wonder what is in that letter’’—

‘“‘What can it be but the fortune?’ asked Miss Caroline. Providence; just now, too, when the lavender has failed. And we shall be able to pat ribbons on the bags after all.

‘I think we ought to open the let ter,”” she said dryly.

Miss Caroline’s excitement subsided She settled herself in her chair and fold ed her hands meekly.

She looked at the address. and then turned slowly to the signature ‘It is from William.” she said quietly

“From William,” echoed Miss Caro- line, ‘tand we thought him dead." She wondered how Miss Jane .could speak so calmly with a letter from her old lover in her hand.

‘He is dead.’’ said Miss Jane, ‘*but recently—there is a postscript’’—

‘‘And left you a fortune,’”’ quavered Miss Caroline joyfully.

“J will read the letter,” said Miss Jane.

But when she had read it aloud the sisters stared at each other with stricken faces from which the life had died.

‘His lame child—to love and pro- tect,”’ said Miss Jane very firmly and looked at Miss Caroline with defiant eyes. ‘‘A lame child—to support!" fal- tered Miss Caroline. She did not realize quite all that this meant Her mind groped blindly abqut the thought ‘We

“It is she who writes the postscript. ” said Miss Jane. ‘She comes tomorrow at 3.’

“And if Joseph were not a good mouser he would often go without meat.’ Miss Caroline continued her re- flections, ‘‘and with barely enongh! Jane, Jane, wea expect da fortune, and itisa burden!’’ Miss Jane remained silent

DISCOVERED A NEW

NERVOUS oe. 6DISEASES

In his study of diseases of the nerves, Dr. A. W. Chase found that in nearly every case the cause of trouble was improper nourish- ment. About one-fifth of all the blood in the human body is found in the brain, and unless this blood is rich and pure the nerves cannot obtain proper nourishment, and become worn out and exhausted.

Nervous depression, nervous headache, nervous dyspepsia, loss of sleep and vital force, lack of energy, are symptoms of weak, watery blood and exhausted nerves.

It was asa food for blood and nerves that Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Food was prepared, Its remarkable success in curing all diseases arising from thin blood and impoverished nerves is proof that Dr. Chase's theory of feed- ing the nerves and blood is the proper one; stimulants only urge on the tired and worn out nervous system until there comes a complete collapse,

Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food creates new brain and nerve ceiis, and makes the blood pure and rich. It restoresto the exhausted nerves the vigor of perfect health. soc. alarge box, at all dealers, or Edimanson, Bates & Co., Toronto,
