THE YAIjK EXPOSITOR FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1007. The Lvoiutioa of Household Remedies. The modern patent medicine busi ness is the natural outgrowth cf the old-time household remedies. In the early LUtory of this country, every Family had its home made MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made ot whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, iorne-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business Is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ning! some enterprising doctor, im pressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu facture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus It would become used over a largearea. LATTERLY THE HOUSE HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartmaa, THE ORIGINAL COM POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and vs patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, ors throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They havs learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman'a judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. CONE FOREVER. Ten yours npo a farmer put his Ini tials on a dollar bill.

As the Albatross steamed into the little harbor, I saw Mowbray Lang don's Indolence at anchor. I glanced toward Steuben Point where his lousins, the Vivians, lived and thought I recognized his launch at '.heir pier. - We saluted the Indolence: the Indolence saluted us. My launch was pined away and took me ashore. I strolled along the path that wound round the base of the hill toward the icennels. At the crossing of the path down from the house, I paused and ingefrd on the glimpse of one of the corner towers of the great showy oalaee. I was muttering something ' listened to myself. It was: "Mul "lolland. Mrs. Mulholland and the four little Mulhollands." And I felt lik aughing aloud, such a joke was it that I should be envying a policeman .lis potato patch and his fat wife and lis four brats, and that he should be in a position to pity me. You may bo imagining that, through , Anita had been dominating my mind. That is the way It is In the romances: but not In life. No doubt 'here aro men who brood upon the impossible, and moon and maunder away their lives over the grave of a iead love: no doubt there are people who will say that, because I did not shoot Langdon or her, or myself, or fly to a desert or pose in the crowded places of the world as the last scene of a tragedy, I therefore cared little about her. I offer them this surges ion: A man strong enough to give i love worm a woman s wnue is strong enough lo live on without her alien ha finds he may not live with ner. As I stood 'there that summer day. looking toward the crest of the hill, at the mocking mausoleum of my dead dream. I realized what the Incessant battle of the street had meant to me. "There is peace for me only in the storm." said I. "Hut. thank God. there Is peace for me somewhere." Through the foliage I had glimpses of some one coming slowly down the zigzag path. Presently, at one of tho turnings half-way up the hill, appeared Mowbray Langdon. "What is he do ing here," thought I. scarcely able to believe my eyes. "Here of all places!" And then I forgot the strangeness of his being at Dawn Hill in the strange ness of his expression. For it was ap parent, even at the distance which separated us, that he was suffering from some great and recent blow. He looked old and haggard; he walked like a man who neither knows nor cares where he is going. Tie had not seen me, and my Im pulse was to avoid hUn by continuing on toward the kennels. I had no es pecial feeling against him: I had not lost Anita because she cared for hint or he for her. hut because she did not care for me simply that to meet would lte awkward, disagreeable for us both. At the slisht noise of my movement to go on, he halted, glanced round eagerly, as If be hoped the sound had been made by some one he wished lo see. His glance Tell on me. He stopped short, was for an instant disconcerted: then his face lighted up with devilish joy. "You!" he cried. "Just the man!" And he descended more rapidly. At first I could make nothing of this remark. Hut as he drew nearer and nearer, and his ugly mood became more apparent, I felt that he was look ing forward to provoking me into giv ing him a distraction from whatever was tormenting him. I waited. A few minutes and we -were face to face, 1 outwardly calm, but my anger slowly lighting up as he deliberately applied to It tho torch of his Insolent eyes. He was wearing his old familiar air of cynical assurance. Evidently, with his recovered fortune, he had recov ered his conviction of his great su periority to the rest of the human race the child had climbed back on the chair that made It tall and had forgotten its tumble. And I was won dering again that I, so short a time before, had been crude enough to be fascinated and fooled by those tawdry posings and pretenses. Kor the man, as I now saw him, was obviously shal low and vain, a slave to those poor "man-oft he-world" passions ostenta tion and cynicism and skill at vices old as mankind and tedious as a tread mill, the commonplace routine of the Idlo and foolish and purposeless. A clever, handsome fellow, but the more pitiful that lie was by nature above the uses to which he prostituted him self. He fought hard to keep his eyes stead ily on mine; but they would waver and shift. Not, however, before I had found deep down in them the begin nings of fear. "You ee. you were mistaken," said I. "You have nothing to Ray to me or I to you." He knew I had looked straight to the bottom of his real self, and had seen the coward that Is In evcty man who nfl9 1,00,1 bred appearances only Cp rose his vanity, tho coward's sub stitute for courage. "You think I am afraid of you?" he sneered, bluffing atxl blusterincr like the tchool bul' ' it r i ELUCE "I don't In the least care whether you are or not," replied I. "What are you doing here, anyhow?" It was as If I had thrown off the cover of a furnace. "I came to get the woman 1 love," he cried. "You storo her from me! You tricked me! Hut. by God. l'.Jacklock, 111 uever pause un til 1 get her back and punish you!" He was brave enough now, drunk with the fumes from his brave words. "All my life." he raged arrogantly on, 'Tvo had whatever I wanted. I've let noth ing interfere nothing and nobody. ive ueen too iorueanng wan you first, because I knew she could never care for you. and, then, because I rather admired your pluck and Impu dence. I like to hee fellows kick their way up among us from the common people." I put my hand on his shoulder. No doubt the fiend that rose within me, as from the dead, looked at him from my eyes. He has great physical strength, but he winced under that weight and grip, and across his face flitted tho terror that must come to any man at first sense of being in the angry clutch of one stronger than he. I slowly re leased him I had tested and realized my physical superiority; to use It would be cheap and cowardly. "You can't provoke me to descend to "HOW THAT IIOnniBLR TF.n LOOKING AT.IIEU. AT HIM. your level," said I, with the easy phil osophy of him who clearly has the bet ter of the argument. He was shaking from head to foot, not with terror, but with Impotent rage. How much we owe to accident! The mere accident of my physical su periority had put him at hopeless dis adantage; had made him feel Inferior to me as no victory of mental or moral superiority could possibly have done. And f myself felt a greater con tempt for him than the discovery of his treachery and his shallowness had together inspired. "I shan't Indulge in flapdoodle," I went on. "I'll be frank. A year ago. if any man had faced me with a claim upon a woman who was married to me, I'd probably have dealt with him as your vanity and what you call 'honor' would force you to try to deal with a similar hituatlon. Hut I live to learn, and I'm fortunately, not afraid to fol low a new light. There Is the vanity of so-called honor; there Is also the demand of Justice of fair play. As I have told her, so I now tell you she is free to go. Hut I shall say one thing to you that 1 did not say to her. If you do not deal fairly with her, I shall tee to to it that there are ten thorns to every rose In that bed of roses on which you lie. You are contemptible in many ways perhaps that's why women like you. Hut there must be some good In you. or iwsslbihMos of good, or you could not have won and kept her love." He was tarltig at me with a dazed expression. I rather expected him to show some of that amused contempt with which men of his sort always receive a new Idea that Is beyond the range of their narrow, conventional minds. For I did not expect him to understand why I was not only will ing, but even eager, to relinquish a woman whom I could hold only by asserting a property right in her. And I do not think ho did under stand me, though his manner changed to a fiort of grudging respect. H was, I believe, about to make some Impulsive, generous speech, when we heard the quick strokes of iron-shod hoofs on the path from the kennels and tho stables is there any sound more arresting? Past us at u gallop swept a horse, on his back Anita. She was not in riding-habit; the wind fluttered the sleeves of her blouse, blew her uncovered hair thin way and that about her beautiful face. She sped on toward tho landing, though I fancied she had seen us. Anita at Dawn Hill Langdon, In a furious temper, descending from the house toward the landing Anita pres ently, riding like mad "to overtake him," thought I. And I read confirma tion In his triumphant eyes. ,In an other mood, I suppose my fury would have been beyond my iower to re- I stir 'n it. Just then the day grew dark for me, and I wanted to hid away somewhere. Heart sick, I was ashamed for her, hated myself for having blundered Into surprising her. She reappeared at the turn round which she had vanished. I now noted that she was riding without saddle or bridle, with only a halter round the horse's neck then she had seen us, had stopped and come back as soon as she could. Khc dropped from the horse, looked swiftly at me, at him, at me again, with intense anxiety. "I 6aw your yacht In the harbor only a moment ago," she said to me. She was almost panting. "I feared you might meet him. So I came." "As you see, he Is quite Intact," said I. "I must ask that you and he leave the place at once." And I went CHANGF.D MY WHOLE WAY OF AT lCVKKYTlHNO! rapidly kennels. along tho path toward the An exclamation from Langdon forced me to turn In spito of myself. He was half kneeling, was holding her In his arms. At that sight, the sav age In me shook himself free. I dashed toward them with I knew not what curses bursting from me. Lang don, Intent upon her. did not realize until I sent him reeling backward to the earth and snatched her up. Her white face, her closed eyes, her limp form made my fury Instantly collapse. In my confusion I thought that sbe was dead. I laid her gently on the grass and supported her head, so small, so gloriously crowned, the face no still nnd sweet and white, like the stainless entrance to a stainless shrine. How that horrible fear changed my whole way of looking at her, at him, at her and him, at every thing! Her eyelids were quivering her eyes were owning her bosom was rising and falling slowly as she' drew long, uncertain breaths. She shud dered, sat up, started up. "Go! go!" she cried. "Hring him back! Hrlng him back! Hrlng him " There she recognized me. "Oh," she said, and gave a great sigh of relief. She leaned against a tree and looked nt Langdon. "You are still here? Then tell him." Langdon gazed sullenly at the ground. "I can't," he answered. "I don't believe It. Resides hs has J 2 given you to me. Let ws gj. Let me take you to the Vivians." Ilo threw out his arms in a wild, pas sionate gesture;, he was utterly unlike himself. His emotion burst through' and shattered pose and cynicism and hard crust of selfishness, like the ex ploding powder bursting the shell. "I can i give you up. Anita: lie ex claimed in a tone of utter jdusperatlou I can't! I can't!" Hut her gaze was all this time stead Uy on me. as if she feared I would go should she look away. "I will tell you myself," she said, rapidly, to mo, "We Uncle Howard and I read In the papers how they had all turned against you, and he brought me over here. He has been telegraphing for you. This morning he went to town to search for you. About an hour ago Langdon came. I refused to' see him as I have ever since the time I told you about at Alva's. He persisted until at last I had the servant request him to leave the house." uui now mere s no longer any reason for your staying. Anita," he pleaded. "He has said you are free, Why stay when you would really no more be here than If you were to go. leaving ono of your empty dresses?" She had not for an instant taken her gaze from me; and so strange were her eyes, so compelling, that I seemed unable to move or speak Hut now she released me to blaze upon him and never shall I lorget any detail of her face or voice as she said to him: "That is false, Mow bray Langdon. I told you the truth when I told you I loved him!" So violent was her emotion that she had to pause for self-control. And I? I was overwhelmed, dazed, stunned. When she went on, she was looking at neither of ns. "Yes, I loved him, almost from the first from the day he came to the box at the races. I was ashamed, poor crea ture that my parents had made me! I was. ashamed of it. And I tried to hate him. and thought I did. And when ho showed me that he no longer cared, my pride goaded me Into the folly of trying to listen to you. Hut I loved him more than ever. And as you and he stand here, 1 am ashamed again asnameu that I was ever so blind and ignorant and prejudiced as to compare him with" she looked at Langdon "with yon. To you believe me now now that I humble myself before him here in your presence?" I should have had no heart at all if I had not felt pity for him. His face was gray, and on It were those signs of age that strong emotion brings to the surface after 40. You could have convinced me in no other way," he replied, after a si lence, and in a voice I should not have recognized. Silence again. Presently he raised his head, and with something of his old cynicism bowed to her. "You have avenged much and many," said he. "I have often had a presentiment that my day of wrath wftuld come." He lifted his hat, bowed at me with out looking at me. and. drawing the tatters of his ose still further over his wounds, moved away toward the landing. I, still In a stupor, watched him un til he had disappeared. When I turned to her, she dropcd her eyes, "l-'ncle Howard will be back this arternoon," said she. 'if I may. I'll stay at the house until he coined to take me." A weary, half-suppressed sigh escaped from her. I knew how she must be reading my silence, but I was still unable to sjak. She went to the horse, browsing near by; she stroked his muzzle. Lingeringlr she twined her lingers In his mane, as if about to spring to his back! That .remind ed me of a thousand and one changes In her little changes, each a trifle in itself, yet. taken all together, mak ing a complete transformation. "Let me help you," I managed to say. And I bent, and made a step of my hand. She touched her fingers to my shoulder, set her narrow, graceful foot upon my palm. Hut she did not rise. I glanced up, she was gazing wistful-j ly down at me. "Women have to learn by experience just as do men," said she, forlornly. "Yet men will not tolerate It." I suppose I .must suddenly have looked what I was unable to put into words for her eyes grew very wide, and. with a cry that was a sigh and a sob, and a laugh and a caress all In one, she slid Into my arms and her face was burning against mine. "Do you remember the night at the theater," she murmured, "when your lips almost touched my neck? I loved you then Hlack Matt Black Matt!" And I found voice: and the horse wandered away. The End.
