His Ideal
By DESTA
E. BROWN WOODS.
CopjTlghlcJ, IWR, by Jessie Morgan.
' "Now, Harry, honestly you don't be
lieve that?"
J Tes, I do. A tme woman ts al
ways a coward. Prove is a masculine
adjective, Incapable of being used with
a feminine noun."
"Oh, bosli! You are old fashioned,
By boy."
"I grant you-mediaeval, In fact
hot neither Joan of Arc nor Boadlcea
stirs my heart like a certain little girl
who faints when she pricks her Anger
with a pin."
-That's what it Is to be in love,
Tocr ideal 1h based on what you think
re be Miss Osborne's character. Now,
m my part, I believe that young lady
capable of heroism."
"And I tell you, George Evans, that
the very thought of physical pain turns
ker cheek pale, but In the matter of
aaoral courage well, I could stake my
life on her there. She has such a hl?h
Meal of truth and honor. She is so"
,"Oh, yes, yes! Spare me! Reraem
fear I am not in love."
An hour later be was sitting with his
lancee, a puzzled, pained expression on
lis face.
"I don't think I understand you," he
aid slowly. "You don't mean that
70a told your father the money was
for charity when you were spending It
o this silly speculation?"
Jessie Osborne's pretty cheeks were
very pink.
."Well, I thought it a good lnvest-
nent, and father never lets me try
Stocks."
"But, Jessie, you have been deceiv
tog him for months.'
A pair of flttle white bands flew to
tide the pink cheeks.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm miserable, and
yoo don't rrs" came In broken sobs.
"There, there," he said soothingly as
a took tbfl sl'iht form In his arms. "I

Proof is inexhaustible that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound carries women safely
through the Change of Life.
Read the letter Mrs. E. Hanson,
804 E. Long St., Columbus, Ohio,
writes to Mrs. ttnKnam :
" I was passing1 through the Change
of Life, and suffered from nervous'
Bess, headaches, and other annoying
x ir j l i.il 1 a
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound was good for me, and since tak
ing it I feel bo much better, and I can
again do my own work. I never forget
to tell my friends what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound did for me
during this trying period."
FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, made
from roots and herbs, has been the
standard remedy for female ills,
and has positi vely cured thousand h of
vomen who have been troubled with
displacements, inflammation, ulcera
tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, that bear-
cig-aown ieenng, nausiency, indiges
tion, dizziness or nervous prostration.
Why don't you try it ?
Mrs. Pinkham invites all Kick
women to write her for advice.
She has guided thousands to
health. Address, Lynn, Mass.
ling, we fliwfit be honest We must
help each ?tier to be true and morally
brave."
"Of course," he mused on the way
home, "bet father must have known
from the first what she was doing and
simply meunt to give ber a lesson by
allowing Ber to proceed. Poor little
girl, she didn't mean any harm, but 1
am disappointed. I didn't think bar ca
pable of tie slightest deception."
As he tsrned the corner leading to
bis boarding house the light streamed
out from Dr. Gordon's office, and be
dropped lo for a moment's chat
"I say, Sell, yon don't look well.
What's the matterr the doctor In
quired.
"Oh, I bflleve I have nerves, and 1
haven't slejit well lately."
"You hart better let me give yon a
sleeping drift and then take a week's
rest soon."
The sleeping draft had the desired
effect, and icarcely had Harry's bead
touched the pillow when he was wrap
ped in deep slumber. After a time be
was dimly conscious of a hum of
voices in the street below. The room
was hot, and he tossed off some of the
bedclothes. His throat smarted, and
his head ached. There was a strange
roaring in his ears. He struggled to
rouse himself, but it was too great an
effort, and he lay dreamily listening to
the voices below.
"I tell you, Evans, Nell is in hJs
room!" came In terrified tones from Dr.
Gordon. "I gave him a dope, and the
noise has never wakened him."
"We must take a rope to him," said
Evans. And Harry wondered vamieiv
at the unaccustomed ring In bis
friend's voice.
"But howr Again it was Dr. Gor
don's voice. "Tbe front verandas are
all in flames."
"Could we reach him by means of
the new building? That beam runs
parallel with his room."
"It would be madness," exclaimed
Mr. Osborne. "The beam wouldn't hold
your weight. See! It has burned
through at the end next the Nelson
.louse."
Was it all a nightmare, Harry won
lered, or was it an awful reality? But
the next words which reached him
cleared the viipors from his brain and
made him spring from his bed with a
tiound.
"Tbe beam won't hold you heavy
men, but I can go. I weigh only nine
ty pounds I'll take the rope," came
In Jessie's well loved voice.
Neil rushed to the window and hur
riedly sized up the situation. His room
WR3 In the corner of the third flat,
with two windows one at the front of
the house and one at the side. From
the front window he could see the fire
men at work. The verandas and whole
face of the house were a mass of fire
and smoke. Water from the hone
played on the blaze, but the crackling
)f the flames came like the laughter of
a victorious fiend.
He ran to the side window. A new
building was in process of construc
tion, but the skeleton structure had al
ready caught fire.
The smoke cleared for an Instant,
and the crowd below caught sight of
him. He recognised the white faces of
Mr. Osborne, George Evans and Dr.
Gordon. Life was sweet. Was there
:io escape? And again he scanned
the new building.
Some one was coming to bim a girl
in a Jersey waist and short tweed
skirt, carrying in her hand a coil of
rope. Her face was upraised for a
moment, and he recognized Jessie Os
borne. Frail, timid, little Jessie amid
the fire and smoke! She must not
come farther, and, placing bis hand on
the window ledge, be prepared to de
scend. '
"Stop, you fool!" came from below.
"Neil, for any sake, don't put your
foot on that beam or it is death for
you both!" shouted Evans.
Convinced that Evans was right, ne
paused and wntched the girl below.
Light and agile as a kitten, she climb
ed from beam to brace and from brace
to beam.
A few hours before be had boasted
of his strength aud bravery, yet hero
he was forced to staud with folded
arms while this mite of a girl brought
him succor. The beat was intense and
every nerve was strained to the utinoi
as he watched the approaching figure.
One wrons step meant death.
Awed silence fell upon tbo watching
crowd, but Jessie reached tbe second
etory hi safety aud then advanced cau
tiously until third was gained. She
placed her foot carefully on tbe last
beam and then slowly transferred her
weight to it. There was a sickening
crack, then a sudden lurch, which
caused Harry to cover his eyes with
his hands. But a shout from George
Evans made him look again. The beam
had only sagged, and Jessie was walk
ing steadily toward blm.
He leaned over the window ledge
with outstretched arms. A moment's
awful suspense, and then, with a little
cry, she sprang to her lover's embrace.
As her foot left tbe beam tbe huge
skeleton gave way, but Jessie and ber
precious rope were safe In Harry s
grasp.
To fasten the rope and lower his
preserver to the firemen below was the
work of a moment; then, hand over
hand, Harry descended the Improvised
fire escape. He felt himself seized and
carried away from the heat He heard
a confusion of cheers and sobs, and
then consciousness left bim.
When he came to himself he was
lying on a sofa In Mr. Oshorne'a home,
with Dr. Gordon and George Evans
beside him.
"Jessie?" he queried faintly.
"Is safe and well," Dr. Gordon re
plied. "She escaped entirely without
Injury, and her father has carried her
almost by main force to her room to
get the rest she needs. In fact," he
added, "you monopolized the woman's
right of fainting."
"It was that confounded doie of
yours." Harry retorted.
"It came near costing your life; but
thank God, you both escaped. Your in
juries are very slight, although your
bandages look formidable. The burns
are only surface burns and won't even
spoil your beauty, and now I must go
to Miss Osborne."
As the door closed on Dr. Gordon.
George Evans turned to his friend.
"What you said about Miss Osborne's
sense of honor Is all right, but admit
like a man that I had a truer estimate
of her courage. Or, say," he added
Jokingly, although there was a suspi
cious tremor in his voice, "perhaps the
engagement is called off since you
don't admire that type."
"I can't Joke about it, George," Nell
ansvored gravely. "The type of girl
I pictured all right In theory, byt"
