"Whnt In thunder are you doingT'
fdiouted Mr. Bowser.
The men lifted the woman back on
the bed, and then the olneer looked up
and inquired:
Who nro you. and what is your busi
ness here';"
Mv name Is Bowser, and I came
here Just In time to neo u sick woman
treated us few men would treat a dK
What d.) you mean by it V
I have tny orders to evict her for
nonpayment of rent."
And did you have orders to kill her
in dolus it ? 1 denounce it ns a Hhamo
and disgrace on humanity!"
'1 am the owner of the building,"
said u man lis he canio upstairs and
confronted Mr. Bowser.
"Oh. you are, are you? You applied
to the law lo have this woman brought
ln'.o the tstioet in her state of health be
cause she could not pay rent."
But I am not to blame for her sick
ness, nnd I must nave my money oe-
oattso I niti a poor man!"
"How niucli. rent does she owe yon?"
"Kicht dollars."
"And for you would have a dying
woman Hung Into the gutter! That's
it! The poor are always talking about
how the rich oppress them. It is not
so. It is the poor that oppress the poor.
This is a line case of it."
Mr. Bowser went walking around th
room, Kiiutling and millling and !eeriug,
and returned to the man to say:
lias the board of health ever In
spected this place?"
The man iljd not unswer.
"There is hardly a whole pane of
glass in the windows; there are two
or three leaks In the roof; the water
pipes are out of order, and the place
Is so full of odors and smells that a de
cent farmer wouldn't use it for a hog
pen. This woman may owe you $S,
but she Khali never pay It She is go
ing to leave here in a few minutes,
and if you ever bother her or let a new
tenant in here before making it a de
cent place I'll see that you will have;
to pay a smart tine for it!"
The owner nml the ollicer looked at
each other nnd then went downstairs
together. The woman had not spoken.
Only now and then had idle opened her
eyes. Mr. Bowmt bent over her. but
be saw that she whs too skk to talk
He therefore said:
"Iionl you worry, good woman. 1
am going to move you and the children
to aiiHther place tiiul see that you ar
taken care of."
Mr. Bowser went two blocks down
the street, and In fifteen minuted had
rented a large airy room on the second
floor of a very decent tenement nnd had
paid for three ii !i!!in In advance. He
then hustled out to a nearby furniture

Bowser. "You are going to cheat the

is such villains as you tluit make halt
the world hard hearted. Here is your
money for the order, and don't you eat
up any of the kindlings on your way
thare."
tr. Bowser hud one more errand
fl got the name of a doctor who bad
irde the widow two visits and had
fated to come again and telephoned
dim:
"Is this Dr. Blake?"
"Tes, sir."
"Were you over here to aee the wld
ow Merkle?"
"I was over there a couple of times,
bui 1 found she couldn't pay the bill,
and so 1 didn't come again."
"What was your diagnosis?"
"Malaria."
"Well, you hustle over bere nnd see
If it is the same thing yet 1 want to
get the medicine for her."
"Will you pny for the three visits?"
asked the doctor.
"I ll pay half the bill, and you will
tack the other half on to the bill of
some rich uinu. That's the custom of
the doctors, I understand."
Tho doctor came. The prescription
was filled, and a liottle of tonic was to
be taken after the medicine was fin
ished. It was 7 o'clock in the evening when
Mr. Bowser said to the woman:
"The doctor tolls nie that you will be
up at your work again In a couple of
weeks. But don't be in a hurry. Your
rent is paid a long time ahead, you
have pot plenty to eat, and there is
uothlng for you to worry about"
"But you have not toia me your
name," replied the woman, who seem
ed a good deal better since the change
In her fortune.
"Oh, never niliid that till I ceii e neit
time."
Mr. Bowser went Home and ne ei
mentioned a word of the Incident, ten
did he go back to the bouse of the
widow. Two weeks had passed a way
when one evening the doorbell ranu
and Mrs. Bowser answered It After
a minute she went back to Mr. Bowsei
to say:
"Here Is the woman and three chil
dreu who want to see what they call
the 'good' man. Do they mean you?"
"I guess not." he blushed.
But the widow and children came in
and told their story and repeated their
thanks a hundred times over, nnd when
they had gone Mrs. Bowser said:
"Mr. Bowser, you provoke me a hun
dred times a year, but you are the best
husband In till Hole world. Kiss
me." 1

needs a tonic lo help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardul is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you.
You can't make a mistake In taking

The Woman's Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark.,

for women. Before I began to take Cardui. 1 was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now 1 feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can e3t most anything.
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
