Cet état constamment aggravé leur fait co de ne jamais trouver une fin à leurs souffrances. Elies ont fait tant et si souvent d'essais de guéri- son infructueux qu'elles ont perdu tout courage, toute vigueur. Le moral est affecté et, par suite, leur corps est affaibli, l'énergie paraît avoir quitté tous leurs membres, la mélancolie et la tristesse s'emparent d'elles et elles voient tout en noir. Ce qu’il faut, c’est réagir, remonter le moral et le physique et pour cela il n’y a rien d'aussi effi- cace que les Pilules Rouges. Leur action puis- samment reconstituante et régénératrice du sang en même temps qu'épurante, produit toujours un effet merveilleux. Elles agissent sur le sang qu’elles rajeunissen et ce grand rafraichisseur des cellules enfiévrées et douloureuses reprend, sous leur poussée, sa mission souveraine qui est de porter la vie aux extrémités les plus lointaines de l'être humain.

ABONNEZ-VOUS À L'IMPARTIAL The Trifle By HARRY IRVING GREENE Copyright, 1911 + HERE was a time when Wallington had general- ly been conceded to be a brand new genius in the financial world—a marvelous being who could change stones into bread and serpents into fowl; then all at once he found himself in the throes of bankruptcy. He had exhausted his resources and was for the time being hopelessly insolvent. Day by day bis little handful of re- maining change vanished in steadily diminishing ratio as his meals be- came cheaper and further apart, un- til finally he had but a dime left. This coin he resolved to save for some last | and most desperate extremity, and he even determined to fast for days be- fore parting with it. And fast for days he did, while oft times the days came much too fast. When Christmas eve came he had not tasted food for three days. Ha felt that he could, endure - it, mé longer, that the last and most desper. ate extremity had arrived and thaf now he must spend his dime.” H& was plunged deep in meditation when he felt someone touch his arm -and turned about. F sidi Beside him there stood a gaunt man with cavernous cheeks, feverish,. wild- ish eyes, and a stomach that curved the wrong way. The apparition ad- dressed him in a croaking voice. | “For God's sake, stranger, buy fè something to eat. I am penniless and upon the verge of committing crime’ I have worn out my shoes looking for work, and while I have a job promised me it will be a week before it is open. And meanwhile I am starving, friend, starving. In the name of Christianity spare me enough for a meal out of your plenty.” Wallington stared into the evening dusk as he fingered his last and sgmoothly worn dime. He knew weil enough what this other man was suf- fering, for had he not been in the same stage twenty-four hours before! And to give a man a dime in such a case was so grossly inadequate. Yet what could he do? He turned about, Close before him was a restaurant where he had-spênt bundreds of dol- y lars in his palmy days and WROSS pi prietor he knew well. Yet he owed a bill there for his last big after theater dinner party of many months ago, and he had never had the courage even in | his semi-starvation to go in and ask for more credit. Yet now it must be done, for here was a human starving upon the streets. Wal--: lington shuddered. It was plainly duty to fill this man's stomach, “id “# æ + sh hia and # for the last time he would exert those: * up powers of persuasion which once Lye FF PAT Em LE ons" de k + F on a time few men had been able to resist. He took the stranger by the arm. “Come with me,’ he comman& : : ed. ù They entered the restaurant = , Wallington walked straight up to sta proprietor. “Bob,” said he, “Il ows: you « pretty stiff bill, but I am going to go to work in a week and then I will begin paying you off. Now I want you to do me a last favor. I owe you about forty dollars, and a couple of dollars fnore won't make much diffen ence to you. -It is Christmas eve an& my friend over there is starving. Now 1 want you to fill him up to the chin on good, solid food and charge it ta me. I will not ask you for any favor again if you will do this last thing” The proprietor looked at his old pa: tron thoughtfully. “AIl right,” he announced et length “Being’s îÎts Christmas eve ]'11 take a chance on you even if you are down and out. Tell your friend to " order what he wants.” So Wallington and the stranger sat down together and Wallington watched his compan- fon fill himself with good things until at last with his stomach again curred the right way, the droop gone from his shouiders and the feverish light van- ished from his eyes, the gorged one arose. “My friend,” said the stranger. “I could not have endured it another dar —but of course you have never known what it is to go two days without food. And when tonight you go home and sit down to your table to your feast, remember that there is an out- cast fellow being upon the streets who is blessing every mouthful that you eat. Good-by, Christian.” Wallington held out his hand. “Gooë- by, stranger, and good luck to you.
