The old man, leaning heavily ca his

all tha lightness and airy grace of an
animated statu.

"Well, you see, In thnae Any,' the
run man went on Joyfully, "they only
had one skeleton In the physiological

broke into ths laboratory one night
and stole the ekeleton. We called II
'the colonel,' and we were all anxious
to put up a Job on "l'rof. Hilly.' He
waa the head of the natural aclenoe

we took the skeleton out 'Ilggy'

"And the old eating club at South
Mlddlet It coat us two dollars a
week there for board, unless you
helped wait on table. Then you could
get three steals a day for one dollar
or even for nothing, if you were ready
for work three times on six days in
each week.
"I remember when 'Piggy' Ralston,
'Lenirtliy' Baiters, and 1 we three
left a terrible reputation behind us,
I'm afraid raided tha atoreroom of
the South Middle Eutlng club. Old
Mrs. Martin was the matron end she
had laid in a big stock of bonry and
apples. We knew shout it snd one
Friday night we broke Into the atore
room and stole a whole cane of
honey, us many apples as we could
carry, and two loaves of bread. We
took our plunder up Into 'I'rofr-Tom
my's room on the third floor of Mid
die college and had a good square-
meal. That was really the only time
I ever got enough to eat during my
college course and I paid as high aa
three a week for board part of the
time. We were juat linlslilng up tho
honey when -we heurd footsteps on
the stairway leading up from the sec
ond floor. The footsteps sounded 'one,
two, limp; one, two, limp, and we
knew that It waa old 'Prof. Pete.' He
Was ths Greek professor and he ul
ways had been lame. We waited un
til he pounded on the outside of the,
door with his cane and anld: 'Young
gentlemen, let me In Instantly. '
"Then we climbed out the window
on to the balcony which grew out of
ths front of Middle oolluge like the
top of a toadstool and got rendy to
slide down the big white (Ireclnn pil
lars to the ground. 'Lengthy Suiters
went first because his arms ami lega
wers longest and we figured that ha
sould come nearest to reaulilng clcur
around the big white pillars.
"When he got down to the aecond
floor 'Prof. Pete' waa threatening to
break In the door and we were
tickled when 'Lengthy' culled back
that It was 'dead easy.' 'Piggy' fol
lowed hlin and I went laat. We found
out for ouraelvea In a minute what
'Lenghty' bad carefully concealed
The white plllurs were, of courxe
only Imitation marble. They hud
been covered with a couple of conia
of white paint nnd then an rid nnd flue
gravel, had been scattered thickly
over them so that sliding down them
waa like mnklng a similar trip on u
cylinder of sand paper. 'Lengthy
had on the suit he had expected to
wear at 'Junior X,' hut by the time
hs got to the bottom his trousi
wers In such shape that he found It
neceesary to withdraw altogether. I
didn't fare much better, but, then, I
was one of the wealthy men of the
slaas, with a regular allowance of 8.10
a mntb, so that I was side to stund
ths loaa of my trousers without seri
ous results.
" 'Lengthy,' you know, waa the
chap who stole ths 'sophs' ' mortar
boards while they were nil eating
supper down at the eating club at
Sonth Middle. The dining-room was
In ths basement snd the 'sophs' hud
piled up their fancy hats on the win
dow ailla. The wlndo-ws were hnlf
above ground and It wua Just before
jonimeiicement, so the windows were
ripen. 'Lengthy' started at one end
Hid went all around the buihlliifc col
looting every mortar board on the
Ills. . lis got half way around before
ths 'sophs' noticed what was going
on. Ilefore he started In he had
oc-ked the doors to the dining room
10 hs hsd s good chnnce to gut uwtiy
efore the first 'soph' nllinlwd out of
ine window. The 'eopha' played the
Jaby act and eompiainrd to the fac
ulty, but thoy never did find out who
itols the mortar boards or whnt mis
lone with them. They never did get
Ihem bark until 'Lengthy' sent them
irotind with hla compliments to the
president of the sophomore class. I
ion't suppose It will do poor old
Lengthy' any harm now to tell that
Js kept all the stolen mortar boards
tor a month up In the belfry of tho
Hnptist Church. 'lengthy' got three
lollara a week for pulling the lluptixt

on jioisouoiu Mubstuncea. Hut Ann toic

now, vsiihoul coiiM.tlerulion or regard
for his feeliii'a he heard from hia own
lipa thiti terrible pi-uiiostieaiioii.
"I'lifoi-tiinate child!" continued the
do-tor, "what hove you been doiiiK?"
"Nothiiiff that I know," ulauimcrotl
Atnitole, deeply troubleil.
"Ill ink I try to reiuemlier! Tell
me what you have eaten, drunk or in
haled?" This laat word proved a ray of lijrht
for Anatole. The snine morning he
bad received a lottcr from one of his
friends who was touring in India. In
the letter he found a Hovvcr withered
from the bank of the tiuiifrcs by the
voyager, n red flowur of funlustic
lihape, end the odor, he recalled now,
was peculiarly penetrating. Anatole
senrehed In his pocketbouk and found
the lertcr nnd the flower, which he
showed to the learned man.
"Without doubt!" cried the doctor.
"It is the ryramiMicnsiit Indieu, the
death (lower, the llower of the blood!"
"You believe this truly?"
"I am poaitlve of It."
"Hut It ia not possiblel I am but 29
years of atfe. I ajn full ut life anil
health!"
"At what hour did you open this fa
ta! letter?"
"At nine o'clock this morning."
"Ah, well! At the name hour to
morrow morning, ut the same min
ute, in full health, as I soy, you will ex
perience cerlliin palpitation iu the
heart, and all will be over."
"And you know of no remedy?"
"Not one!" returned the doctor, hid
ing hi? head iu his hands, and he fell
upon the sofa, overcome with tffief and
despair.
Seeing the emotion of his old friend,
Anatole realized that he was con
demned to die. He bocume like one in
sane. All iiiirht, lit a fever of notation,
his brain topsy-turvy, Anntolu darted
up and down the boulevard, uncon
scious of his surrounding and that
the streets were gradually becouiilir
deserted. For a Ion,' while lie ran
thus until he fell eshniuted on a
bench.
The rest was beneficial. He hnd
been like a man who had received a
Mow on the hend. The stupefaction

eolleet his ideaa which had licen so

them. Anions nil whom I count ns

The last wishes were ipuckly writ

It was done. Anatole drunk u sec

where C'ttalcnac received his visitor
nothing but arms was seen; Turkish
swords or yatuK-Aiis, poisoned Hrrows

"Hah!" thouxbt Anatole. "What is
it that I risk? there are but 2', hours

"Monsieur," said Anatole, "you wish

"Anatole."
M. llouvard opened it. Ann Wile de

he ran tn ths door:
"Cousin, rise and dress quickly snd

Almost Instantly Nicwtte appeared

"Whnt is it?"
It is that your cousin is mad!" said
M. llouvard.
"Mad!" cried Anatole, "but, rem e in

At this moment Anatole felt his

equality. Women no longer keep silence in the church. In business avo
cations and professions they inarch side by side with men. To-day the
'intellectual equality of woman is frankly conceded, and yet that puritan
wife, vowed to obedience, whoso husband was also her lord, had one point
of enualitv with 'the stronger sex which tho modern woman has largely
lost ; she had the equality of health, and the equality of courage
aud strength which enabled her to keep her place at her husband's
sido in times of danger and of peril.
As .housewife she was tireless in her industry. As mother she
reared a large family.' Sho knew little of the aches and ills which
vex tho modern woman who has entered upon the heritage of
woman's rights. Statisticians have called attention to the decrease
in tho size of the family. Women shrink from the"pangs
gations of maternity.
door sports once termed manly, is only an evidence
of tho fact that she recognizes her physical deficiency
and weakness. But outdoor sports and exercises are
open to comparatively few women, and whilo exer
cise may promote the health when it is once estab
lished, it cannot produce health. In fact, where
there is womanly weakness, exercise may be an
injury where the weakness permits the possibility of
exercise. - ,
The first and greatest of woman's rights is the
right to bo healthy, tho right to enjoy herself as a
wife and to bo happy as a mother. Give woman
this and ail other features of womanly equality will
take care of themselves.
In hundreds of thousands of cases this physical
equality has been restored to weak and sick women
by tho use of Dr. l'ierce's Favorite Prescription, the medicino
which makes weak women strong and sick women well.
"My wife used three bottles of Dr. l'ierce's medicine, and I never saw
such results," writes A. B. Haynes, Esq., of Aurora, Lawrence Co., Mo.
"It was wonderful in its work. W'e bad used lots of medicine, also had
one of the best physicians in Aurora, but my wife got no better; we
heard one pitiful groan after another, day and night. A friend handed
me a copy of Dr. Pierce's book, The Common Sense Medical Adviser,
and after reading the testimonials of Dr. Pierce's successful treatment,
and seeing that the cases described were similar to my wife's, I bought
for her a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Before she had
taken all of the medicine she was up and helping to do the work. She
has taken three bottles and is now well. Has better health than she has
had for years, so perfectly did the medicine do its work."
Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription cures womanly ills and the
aches and pains which these ills are the cause of. It establishes
regularity and so gives freedom from tho periodic suffering which
so many women enduro with each recurring month. It dries
the drains which distress and weaken women. It heals the
gnawing ulcer, puts out tho scorching flamo of inflammation, and perfectly and
permanently cures female weakness. It aleo cures backache, headache, nervous
ness, sleeplessness and other ills which are the result of womanly diseases.
"No doubt you have forgotten me, but after you have read my letter you will remember
me," writes Mrs. Annie E. Moring, aj8 7th Avenue, S. W., Roanoke, Va. "In the year 1S97,
I wrote you for advice, which you gave me free of charge. Now, Doctor, I will tell you I
was a wreck. When I wrote to you I could not walk straight, for pain in my abdomen,
could not sit down, lie down, or get any ease at all. I had what was called the best doctor
here, but did not get any better until I went through a course of your medicine. I took
eight bottles each of 'Favorite Prescription ' and 'Golden Medical Discovery'.' I kept on
with the 'Pleasant Pellets' after I had stopped taking the other medicine. I took ten
vials of the ' Pleasant Pellets,' and I tell you the medicine made a cure of me. My trouble
was female trouble, and I am willing to have you use my letter, for there a: - other women
to-day that need your medicine, and it will cure them if they will follow your a-'vice."
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All correspond
ence is held as sacredly confidential, and the written confidences of women aro
guarded by the same Btrict professional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his
daily consultations with sick women, at tho Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
