The majority of mothers nowadays overdo, there are so many demands upon their time and strength; the result is invariably a weakened, run-down, nervous condition with headaches, back ache, irritability and depression and soon more serious ailments develop. It is at such periods in life that Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound will restore a normal healthy condition, as it did to Mrs. Worthline. Just Missed Him.

Mrs. Mary Steph enson, of this place, states: "About a year and a half ago I was down In bed for six weeks, not able to sit up. I was flat on my back and had ter rible 'spells , . ,.

He got mo a bottle of Cardui, and when I had only taken one-half bot tle of Cardui I felt stronger. I took a half a dozen bottles altogether, then in two weeks after I began taking I was up, In three I was doing my work. I praise Cardui for I believe It saved tny life and I am grateful."

Carlyle Sees Ore Chance and Takes It. Synopsis Geoffry Carlyle, master of sailing ships at twenty-six, is sentenced to 20 years' servitude in the American col onies for participation in the Monmouth rebellion In England. Among the passengers on board the ship on which he Is sent across are Roger Fairfax, wealthy Maryland planter; his niece, Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu tenant Sanchez, a Spaniard, who became acquainted with the Fair faxes In London. Carlyle meets Dorothy, who informs him her uncle has bought his services. Sanchez shows himself an enemy of Carlyle. The Fairfax party, now on its own sloop in the Chesapeake bay, encounters a mysterious bark, the Namur of Rotterdam. Carlyle discovers that Sanchez Is "Black Sanchez," planning to steal the Fairfax gold and abduct Dorothy. He fights Sanchez and leaves him for dead. In a battle with Sanchez' followers, however, he Is overpowered and thrown into the boy. V-uifiul. by A. C JicClui at It. No gleam of light appeared in any direction; no sound trhoed across the dark waste of water. It was clearly impossible for me to attempt any re turn to the wharf through the impene trable black curtain which shut me in. What, then, could I do? What might I still hope to accomplish? Those fel lows had swept the sloop clean, and had doubtless long ago scuttled it. They would suddenly find themselves leaderless, ungulded. Would that suf fice to stop them? Would the discov ery of his body halt his followers and send them rushing back to their boat, eager to get safely away? This did not seem likely. Estada knew of my boarding the sloop from the wharf, and would at once connect the fact of my being ashore with the killing of Sanchez. This would satisfy him there was no further danger. Besides these were not men to flee in panic Surely not with that ruffian Estada yet alive to lead them, and the knowledge that fifty thousand pounds was yonder In that unguarded house, with no one to protect the treasure but two old men asleep, and the women.

"Because that fellow leaped the rail from the wharf. I saw him, and we met at the wheel." "From the wharf, you say? He was not aboard, then? Santa Maria 1 I know not what that may mean.

' The darker loom of the sloop van ished slowly, as the slight current sweeping about the end of the wharf drifted the released boat to which I clung outward into the bay. There was scarcely a ripple to the sea, and yet I felt that the boat was steadily drifting out into deep water. I was still strangely weak, barely able to re tain my grasp. Finally I mustered every ounce of remaining energy in one supreme effort and succeeded in dragging my body up out of water ; i strengtne Weak From Pain Mrs. Gibbert Was in Misery, But Doan's Brought Her Splendid Health. "About 15 years ago my kidneys were in bad condition," says Mrs. Lucy Gib bert, 15310 Columbia Ave., Harvey, ill. "There was a constant, dull, bearing down pain in the small of my back. I couldn t turn over in bed without such pain I could hardly breathe. Morning9 I was stiff, sore and lame all over; my back was like a rusty hinge. "Inflammation of the bladder nearly drove me wild.

All was black, hopeless; with head buried in my hands I sat on a thwart, dazed. Before me, pleading, expres sive of agonized despair, arose the sweet face of Dorothy Fairfax. No doubt by this time all was over the dead body of Sanchez discovered, the projected attack on the house carried out, the two old men left behind, ei ther dead or severely wounded, and the girl borne off a helpless prisoner. Ay, but this I knew ; there was only one place to which the villains might flee with their booty the Namur of Rot terdam. Only on those decks and well at sea would they be safe or able to enjoy their spoils. The thought came to me in sudden revelation why not;I Was not here a chance even yet to foil them?

There was no one else fo fear. If only I might once succeed in get ting safely aboard, slightly disguised, perhaps, and mingle unnoticed among the crew, the chances were not bad for me to pass undetected. Such ships carried large crews and were constant ly changing in personnel. A strange face appearing among them need not arouse undue suspicion. And I felt convinced I could locate the Namur, But could I hope to attain the ship in advance of the returning party of raiders? God helping me, I would tryj My brain throbbed with fresh resolu tion the call to action. There were oars in the boat. I shipped the useless rudder inboard and chose my course from the stars. My boat had drifted considerably far ther out into the bay than I had sup posed, and it required a good half hour of steady toll at the oars before I sighted ahead of me the darker out lines of the shore. At first I could identify nothing, but finally there sud denly arose, clearly defined, the gaunt limbs of a dead tree, bearing a faint resemblance to a gigantic cross, that had been pointed out on the sloop, This peculiar mark was at the extrem ity of the first headland lying north of the point itself, and consequently a straight course across the bay would land me within five hundred yards of where the Namur had last been at anchor. To a degree my immediate plan of drove the temptation to falter away and strode on up the bank Into the black shadow of the trees. I found extremely hard walking as I advanced through tangled under brush. Fortunately the distance was evea shorter than I had anticipated. It was not until after I had advanced cautiously Into the water and then stooped low to thus gain clearer vision along the surface that I succeeded in locating the vessel sought. Even then the Namur appeared only js a mere shadow, without so much as a light showing aboard, yet apparently an chored in the same position as when we had swept past the previous after noon. I waded straight out through the lines of surf, until all excepting the head became completely sub merged. If I were to reach the bark at all this was the one opportunity, I stood there, resisting the undertow tugging at my limbs and barely able to ?Ctaln my footing, Intent upon my purpose. Full strength had come back to my muscles and my head was again clear. With strong, silent strokes swam forward, directly breasting the force of the incoming sea, yet making fair progress. Some unconsidered cur rent must have swept me to the right, for, when the outlines of the bark again became dimly visible through the night I found myself well to star board of the vessel. Stroking well under water and with only my eyes exposed above the surface, I changed uiy course to the left and slowly and cautiously drew In toward the star board bow. A few moments later, un perceived from above, and protected from observation by the bulge of the overhang and density of the shadow, my hands clung to the anchor hawser, my mind busy in devising some means for attaining the deck. the Patlrie d. la M.irine, the C.-ife de hi M;irin I -ve:- Ih'nu eN- tint MsiMy could ;irry the utiix '"de hi murine."

Suddenly, as I stared upward, I, became aware that two men were yrking their way out along the foot ropes, and, as they reached n point al most directly over my head, became busily engaged in tightening the gas kets to better secure the loosening sail. The foot of one slipped, and he hung dangling, giving vent to a stiff English oath before he succeeded in hauling himself back to safety. The other indulged in a chuckling laugh, yet he was careful not to speak loudly. "Had one drink too many, Tom?" he asked.

EveryJW oman Wants Heard Him, All Right. Germany's stiff-necked denseness in sensing the necessity for her strict compliance with the hrst nnnlsticp terms, and her brazen indignation at the harder ones imposed as. a penalty for nonfulfillment of the first, make one think of the bunker at Weeping Water, Neb., who was asked by an impecunious farmer for a loan. The banker was one of those people who are deaf for commercial purposes. The farmer was chronically wanting to bor row, and his security was getting shaky. "I'd like to borrow $5,000," pleaded the fanner. The banker cupped his hand behind his lame ear and said: "Speak a little louder and cut down the amount."
