' Nell, did not answer. She was look

sitting at tho broad, flat top desk near
the window, sometimes turned to gaze
over the hedgo where the panslcs grew

Sunday evening supper was a matter
of Individual vagary and caprice so fat
as tho Norton family was concerned.
Molly went home after dinner, Mrs.
Norton went upstairs for a cosy nup
about twilight, and the girls usually
took iced tea and salad sandwiches out
on the porch, where they could lie In
tbe' bammocks, a'book In one hand and
sandwich In the otlier, safely screen
ed from prying eyes -by the-wistaria
vinos. ' The Bnnduy following the put
ting up of the wire the hammocks wer6
occupied, when some one came along
the Bldewalk with a quick, firm tread
and deliberately walked through the
broken place In the hedge and across
the path.
Kit guve a smothered exclamation
and sat up, but before she could speak
there was the sound of a full at the
barb wire guard, and the girls rose
with frightened, yet half laughing,
faces.
"Hello!" called Kit gently. "Are you
hurt?"
There was no response for a minute,
then some one answered In a strange
voice;
"1 beg your pardon, but would you
mind ringing our bell and culling the
boys7 My foot Is twisted, and I can
not stand up."
An hour later Kit Btood guiltily ut
the head of the steps as her mother uud
Nell came slowly from the house next
door.
"Will he be sick long?',' .
"About a month before he can Walk,"
said Mrs. Norton. "It Is too bad.- And

not at all eccentric. He takes the
blame entirely and says he Is worse
than the boys and that we were per
fectly right In putting up the wire." '
"That's what be said to you. moth
eric, darling," Interposed Nell discon
solately, "lie probsuly thinks that Kit
and 1 are heathens."
"Barbarous heathens," Kit smiled
wickedly.

"Well, I won't motherle," said Kit
Hotly. "I'm sorry he hurt himself, but
" i not a bit sorry I put up the fence.

Ill tho days that followed they could
sec the strong, patient figure sitting
In the shady comer of tlio veranda next
door. Nell carried tlui first propitiatory
bunch of rosea over to the enemy a
country. She brought back a good re
port, nnd after a week of disinterested
Indifference Kit suddenly announced
her Intention of being flower benrer to

disabled, rather sarcastic majesty.
"So you're the young woman who
set the trail, are you. Miss Kit? And
you're not a bit sorry?"
"I'm sorry 1 came over to see you."
Kit stood erect, very haughty, very
raoot and very young. "I oiil;

field near Poremurk, England, which is
known throughout Derbyshire as
"hangman's stoue." The exposed por

foot above the surface of the surround

" swap " Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Disupvery for a bootless bargain, de
scribed as," just as good," at the critical
tiih6heii health is at stake.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
er is a medicine which has. a record of
ninety -eight per cent, of cures. It is an
absolutely reliable family medicine, npn
dlcoholic and non-narcotic. It alwiiy
helps ; it almost always cures. Why
should any one who is seeking a cure
for sickness, and is persuaded that the
"Discovery" will cure him, "swap" the
substnuce for the shadow at the risk of
health?.-
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery cures diseases of the 'Stomach and
other organs of. digestion and nutrition.
What is popularly termed "weak" stom
ach is the common cause of various forms
of physical weakness, such as "weak"
heart, "weak" lungs, "weak or slug
gish liver, " weak " nerves, etc. The
entire body and its several organs are
dependent for strength upon the food
prepared in the stomach. The "weak"
stomach cannot provide the food
strength for the various organs, which
in their tujn become " weak " and unable
to accomplish the work for which they
were designed. -"Golden Medical Dis
covery" cures through the stomach dis
eases which have their- cause in a dis
eused condition of the stomach and the
allied organs of digestion and nutrition.
It enables the perfect digestion and
assimulation oi food by which the body
is built up into a condition of sound
health. It purifies the blood, driving
out the poisons which breed and feed
disease. yJ1
