Pa gave a smile of interest and rub bed his bands.

story of Romeo and Juliet is re- peated every day in modern life, with the excep- tion that Juliet does not die by poison. She dies because of her own neglect or ignorance. Neglectfuiness causes much of womian’s peculiar sickness. Neg- lect of the minor troubles causes serious complications. The irregularities, the burning, dragging ache. the debilitating drains that mark the progress of feminine diseases, are passed lightly over or are borne in ignorance of their cause. Their continuance means death or insanity. This is all unnecessary. So-cailed female weak ness can be cured. It can be cured quickly and permanently, and right in the privacy

Pa war so appreciative of his wife's praise he tilted back in the rocker and gave the matter solemn thought.
“I eukilate we kin have this all to ourselves,” he began. “ef you can hold out ‘gainst mentionin Devy’s comin. It will be hard work for you, Drusilly, but it’s the only way. Do you think you kin hold that news over prayer meetin and Sunday? I tell you what,” he went on excitedly. “We can just have the whole thing happen right bere, meetin an all, if you don’t tell.”
Mrs. Gladden’s pleasant face fell.
“I wonder if it'll be fair not to tell the rest of the folks?’ she began. “You see, Devy’ll be expecting a big welcome.”
Asahel Gladden rose up in his socks.
“Drusilly, I have jest set my heart on managin the whole thing. Don’t you disappoint me. I never had so much chance as this ir all my mortal life. I always wanted to do sech di- rectin and managin, and uon’t you dis- appoint me.”
“Whatll folks say when they find we beld that news?’ asked his wife, much impressed, but giving up, as usual.
“Ther'll say you've come to years of discretion, though I don’t want to hurt your feelings none. Prusilly. You
can take it all out fixing up the spare
room and Marindy’s room. It alr

tellin him he must come right here, and we won't take no for an answer. I'l) hitch up the eutter, and we'll zo over to town and engage Angeline for the whole endurin week.”
The two were as excited as chil- dren. The letter had to be strong enough to suit pa and was the labor of an hour for Mrs. Gladden ere it suited him. Dinner over, they tucked them- selves into a green sleigh and drove over to New California.
“We'll stop on the way,” said the small and rosy man. “TI feel so anx- ious to get hold of Angeline.”
“Oh, you do?’ questioned the wife

“Well, I will,” assented the widow. “IT used to have good times at your house when I was a girl I never have forgotten them.’’
Va went through an expressive pupb- tomime behind her.
“And pa’ll fetch you on Sunday aft- ernoon,” went on Mrs. Gladden. “if the snow don’t stay on, he'll fetch you in a buggy.”
Afterward Mrs. Gladden declared that pa spent the happiest week of his life getting reacy for that couple to be reunited. It never struck his warm aud innocent heart that anything could go amiss. He piled up special wvod for the parlor; he hovered around the two bedrooms; he actually had his fin- ger in every pie and cake baked. He went to the village store alone once or twice and after the last visit wore ap air of the deepest mystery.
Mrs. Gladden stood this until the hour of retiring.
“Asahel!” she exclaimed, with a break in her voice. “Asahei, you ney- er had a secret from me in all your life, did you?’
The rosy man looked as guilty as if detected in a crime. He saw her kind eyes. and his voice quavered.
“Never before,” he whispered, “but I'm so afeard you can’t holu this one over Sunday meetin I’m bound not to breathe it.”
One dry sob brought him to terms.
“It air,” he whispered, tiptoeing over
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip- | to her; ‘‘it air that I telegraphed to
his and more. It acts directly on |}
Devy to git here on the Suncay after- noon express.”
Mrs. Gladden’s attitude toward the world on Sunday morning was the gossip of the neighborhood fer weeks. She suddenly assumed an air of fu- neral dignity; would converse with no one and stalked silently out after meet- ing and climbed into the sleigh tri- umphantly.
“You've done it,” whispered her hus- band, delighted. “I didn’t credit you with it.”
After dinner the parlor fire was lighted, the table spread for company tea, and Pa Gladden wrapped himself up to go for Angeline. He was so hap- py his wife’s heart trembled.
“Pa,” she said, “don’t you set too munch store by it. Devah may have etnuer intentions, and Angeline may not ugTree.
“Dou't you think it!” declared pa. \necline are a hzondred times prettier
than she war. Devy air a Thar; that it all. Now do your part. Leave Deyy to me. Men understand men!”
He brought Angeline and her valises back in an hour. Mrs. Gladden re- joiced in her womanly beauty. She kissed her as tenderly as if she had been a young girl when she helped her in. Angeline’s face beamed.
“How nice you’ve made everything for me!” she cried. “It’s like home coming.” Her face grew thoughtful. “It makes me think of old times—old friends.”
“Well, just settle down and make yourself at home,” said pa, coming in. “I have to be gone an hour or two. You and ma can have a good old talk.”
Awhile later he was stamping off the falling snow on the platform of the station. The express stopped, an unusual proceeding. A tall, bronzed man alighted, and pa met hini, so eager he almost cried over him as hw shook hands.
Alas, alas! All pa’s finesse and sub- tle phrases were forgotten. Finally he reined in Dolly, almost in sight of the house.
“Devy,” he quavered, “I always felt so sorrowful ’bout you an Anzecline Porter’s break off. You war so happy together when you was young. Devy I've got Angeline here. She air a wid. ow; she air a finer woman ’n you «ould see in a day’s travel. It air the de sire of my heart to bring you two to gether.”
The man beside him grew pale and gasped; then he wrung the mittened hand.
Good Ma Gladden came out to the sieigh. She, too, had forgotten her part. She had been crying and broke down.
“Please ‘scuse Angeline,” she said brokenly; “she’s there in the parlor. Don't you want to go in, Devah? I guess you needn't be sfeared.”
The tall man strode past her, his own eyes misty. The wedued couple left on the steps were not ashamed to kiss each other with tears and smiles. -~Chicago News.

Piles when Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment is a surer, cheaper, easier way to cure.
Cruel, barbarous methods belong to the dark ages of the past. There wasatime when a surgical operation was considered the only possible cure for piles. Notso now. Occa- sionally there is still found a physician who adheres tothis 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, wiat it will be held in high esteem wherever it is used, and consequently 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 the name of Dr. Chase familiar in almost every home, and won for the venerable discoverer the title of ‘* Amerten’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,
