chances among hoofs and cart wheels One widow in particular had more than her share, for besides four skinuy, dark limbed children bearing her cast ut features she had nested down by her measuring box a pink and white plump little girl, 4 years old and golden haired, who held between the thumb and teo fingers of her right hand a stunted red éux of corn.

aicé Cheeks and chin were curved with dimpling smiles, and her curls and short nose were tipped and defined by glints of light as she focused her atten- tion upon the ear of corn and talked to imaginary creatures.

‘*Good evening, Mrs. Seventeen; it is n very fine day. I brought my baby | along because it isn’t very well) The lightning rod struck my baby, and | was so scared I didn't know What t do. Sol took her to the doctor, and he said, ‘Give her some me'sson.’ I gave her some me’sson and she never made a face, because she was trained to a sys timony.”’

“What on earth is that youngste! talking about?’’ inquired a cart driver as he forked up husks beside the widow ‘‘She’s talking to her talk stick,”’ re plied that hurried automaton, never pausing an instant from stripping green ears. ‘She'll take something in he! hands that way and play and talk for hours and never trouble nobody. It’sa good thing she does, for if she was pestering at my heels I don’t knew how I could keep her.’

‘‘Isn't she your’n, then?’

‘‘No; she’s a child that was brought along here a spell back. Seems like sh« was with her grandmother, her grandmother died sudden on the train My son’sa brakeman, and he fetched the little girl to'r house till her folks’d have time to send. But she ain't been sent for, and it discourages a body when they have such a hard time to get along. "

“Didn’t anybody know her mother?’’ continued the cart forking steadily

Cinderella’s m fairy god-mcoth- with cne of her magic wand, transformed the maiden’s rags and tatters into the richest silks and sat- ins. There are thousands . of young women to-day whe need a fairy god - mother who will touch them with the wand of health. A girl’s best gift is her health. Every girl may be a healthy girl and become a healthy wife and acapable mother, if she will but take the proper care of herself in a womanly

way. Ir. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is th= best medicine for ailing women, young or old. It strengthens and invigorates the organs distinctly feminine. It promotes regularity of their functions, It allays ir- ritation and inflammation. It checks un- natural and exbausting drains. It puts the whole organism concerned in wifehood and motherhood into perfect condition.

Almost all of the ills of womankind are traceable to some form of what is known as ‘female complaint.”” Troubles of this kind unfit a woman for wifehood and mother- hood. Thousands of grateful women have been rendered healthy and happy by the use of this marvelous medicine. At their own request, the experience and testimony of many of them have been included in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. The “ Favorite Prescription ’’ is sold by all good dealers and an honest dealer will not try to induce you to take an inferior substi. tute for the sake of extra profit.

‘“*What’s ber name?’

‘‘Minty Coan,’’ said the widow

*Couldn’t she tell anything about her folks ?’’

‘*Why, yes; she conld tell something but it’s all a jumble. Sometimes 1 | think the woman that died wasn’t he grandmother, and other times I don’ know what to think. Maybe her folks’! turn upand maybe they won’t. It’! be my luck for them not to,’’ said th widow despondently.

‘(Res hore, now,’ said the cart driver indicating that he wanted her atten- | tion an instant. ‘‘You know my wife and me. S'posen you let me take the little girl home and keep her with us a spell. She’s a pretty little thing.”

“Yes, I know that. And it stands to reason that them that are better fixed | ought to help you do for her. This is} my last load for tonight, and when I've | dumped it I'll come around and get ; her. ’'

‘*] kind of hate to let her go When it comes to the pinch. And that’s another | thing I’ve dreaded.”’ said the widow

‘You can see her often as you want | to. Will you go with me, Minty?’

“He'll give you lots of good milk te drink at his house, I'il be bound,”’ sug- gested the widow, shredding silks away ‘rom the glistening white grain.

‘““Yes, we’ve got cows on our farm, and we've got pretty little calves,’’ said the driver.

‘‘I’ll goalong with her,” volunteered the widow’s Arablike second son, ad- vancing his lean little face up the man’s knee.

‘‘You’re going along home to bed,” decreed his mother. ‘‘That’s where you're going. Git the other children in a bunch together, and then you put ont with them.’’

The cart driver jogged along the, prairie road with Minty sitting beside him. He had folded his coat to cushion her backless seat, and he protected her with his left arm. The moonlight glint- ed upon hedgerow leaves which had the rich dark green of holly and showed great brick homesteads here and there on billows of the rolling land. Behind them steadily receded the town and the canning factory’s booming, and spurts of dampened dust flew from the horse’s | hoofs as he jerked the cart along.

Minty held the shriveled ear of red corn in her hand, and feeling exhila- rated by the motion she poised it betwixt her face and the prairie horizon.

‘« ‘Mrs. Seventeen went to ride in her carriage, with white shine to polish it.’ ”

‘““Who’s Mrs. Seventeen?’’ inquired the driver.

Minty looked down, disturbed as a humming bird would be if some one in- terfered with its boring a rose.

““QOh, she’s Mrs. Seventeen that I talk to with my talk stick.”’

“Can’t you talk without a talk stick?’

“IT can’t have anice play,” explained Minty, ‘‘or talk to Mrs. Seventeen.”

‘“Well, ont to my house,” said the cart driver. ‘‘you can have posies for talk sticks. And I'll take you down to the pippin tree first thing in the morn-

ing and give you more apples than you can ext.’ But be never did. His horse's jog

The cart driver had thrown Minty between his knees, and he leaned back dragging the lines with all his might Out of the light prairie and under the dark branches they went. down through a creek with a mighty splash, then up over a stump which sent the cart driver out on his head. He struck a log and lay there until next day, when his anx- ious wife found him and took him home to be nursed urttil his broken bones were knit. His lamed horse and the principal pieces of his cart were duly returned to him. But he never saw Minty again, and was distressed about her before her story sifted back through time and space to him, as stories still do in this world if you can but wait for them.

Minty found herself sitting in the bed of the cart in the dark sweet smell-

Piles when Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment is a surer, cheaper, easier way to cure.

Cruel, barbarous methods belong tothe dark ages of the past. There wasatime when @ surgical operation was considered the only possible cure for piles. Notso now. Occa- sionally there is still found a physician who adheres to this dangerousand expensive method, but to every one who still believes in using the knife, ainety and nine recommend the use of Dr. Chase's Ointment.

Dr. C. M. Harlan, writing in The American Journal of Health, said :

“We know that ‘ Dr. Chase’s Ointment’ meets all the requisitions of the highest stand- ard of worth, that it will be held in high esteem wherever it is used, and cansequently we endorse it to every reader.”

By force of merit alone Dr. Chase's Oint- ment has won its way into this wide, wide world, until it has made tbe name of Dr. Chase familiar in almost every home, anc won for the venerable discoverer the title of ‘‘ Ameriga’s Greatest Physician.”

Dr. Chase's Ointment has never been known to fail as a cure for piles, It matters not whether blind, itching, bleeding or protruding, Dr. Chase's Ointment is an absolute and per-

fect cure,

Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment is the discovery of the authes of Dr. Chase's Recipe Book, whose vortralt and signature t© on every box of the genuine. ,\ * Ses All dealers, Mdmanson. Sates & Coe,, Tosonto
