The Other Woman's Hand A Studied Offtnu mad Xto Penalty. y OWXMDOLKM OVSBTOH. THB young man who would mak for hlmsalf a nun and fame goes east. Br th aim token, be who would hid thoM both beUkei hlmaclf weat. Uaneilj went weit becose lb girl hi waa in lore with Jilted him, out of hand, for richer fellow, and be wee very bard hit. lie went well and wa lost to light, and the plaaei when be had been knew bin no more. If any one chanced to mention bim to the girl, be imilcd the imt'.e of pitting con tempt, which li moil women'! tribute to the memory of a man thej have treated abominably, and laid: "Poor Dick." She wai ai mean ai ihe wai beautiful which not the fairy-tele formula; but ihe got ber puniibment In the end whloh li. Thia W how it came about: Clreuinatancei and pbyilclani ovir which ihe had no control lent the rich man she had married whose name wai Kent to ipend a sessnn on the Pacific coaat. -Kent's fancy lighted upon a port town, the only object of Intereat in wbicb were a break-water, In court of couatructioD, and a apil of land upon which, touriati were aaaured, tbe ekeletona of dead and gone plralea might yet be dug up. Neither theae nor the adjoining shipping village, whiob only awaited the appropria tion of a delinquent eongreaa to become the harbor of the I'aoiflc elope, offered to Mr a. Kent that variety and excitement whiob alone eould make exlaunee palatable to her. Bo ihe decided that if there were to be any audi, they inuit come from within beraelf. Therefore, aa the moat unlikely thing that aha eould happen upon, ahe determined to try what it might be like to lead tbat which ! known ai a normal and healthy life going to bed when tbe frog! be gin to ling In the dianul marahel about, and getting up with tbe aun. "I will take plenty of eaerclae," ahe -plained to ber huabind; "I will row for a couple of bouri before breakfait, on the lagoon, I think." Bhe experienced aame real enthuai aam about it at thia point. Kent did not. He foreaaw the disturbance of hla own eomfurt, which waa not great ly ennaldered at the beat of tlinea, and be tried to dieoourage her but with out auceeaa. At daybreak ihe made her way ecroei the atrip of land that divided the la goon and the aea. Tbe botela and eot tagea faced the aea, but the lagoon wai the Inner harbor, and there were upon it only wharvei and rickety boat houiei and flehermen'i huta. It waa not exastly s pletureaque outlook, or dinarily, bat tbe aunrli llgbta caet a aort of glamour over It now. Even the deep, looa land wai cool aud tinted, and all traced over with fine caballitie Unci where the lliardi bid dragged their taili and no one had ai yet atepped. Later on, it would be blliter tng hot and the marih weed! would give out a ehoklng email; but thia early, their ttunled yellow and pink blossoms bad a frtah and pungent aoent. Bhe followed a path the tied to a rough board iback, Handing on itllU over the ebb-tide mud, where a elgn adver tlaed that boata were bullded and for rent. When ebe elopped in the email doorway, her figure abut out moat of tbe light, and ahe eould barely diacern the man who waa moving about tnaide. He eame toward her. Her beak waa to the low rayi of the aun, ao her f aee wai ' In the blaekneaa, and only her form waa aa gllateniug white ae the Angel of Apnoalype. Had he a row-boat; aha aeked; one not too baevy, and with oare of a mod erate iweepT He waa taciturn a Mong-ahor eharaotar, probably for be did not even anawer, ouly took a pair of apoon oara from their reek on the wall, and led the way out to the landing pier. She followed, runulng agalnat alrange ehapea of wood, and atumbling over pile of lumber In the gloom. When they were out on the landing, he turned about and faoed her etiddenly. Bhe wu quite eloae be hind him, and ahe gave a quick itart beak. "I thought ao," hi tald. aHeadlly; "I thought tbe voloe waa Uke youra." He had had that much warning, but ahe had had none at all, and It might hare been a full two aaeouda before ahe got control of beraelf. Then Ihe beauty of thi iltuation and all Ha poa aibilitlea floated upon her suddenly, and ahe decided that her movement of impulae bad been the beat ahe eould have made. Bo ahe followed It up. Bhe ahrank baok Into the doorway farther a till. "IUobardl" ah wu, cowering. He atnod reatlng upon the oare and aerutinlalng her atolldly. He flattered himself that he waa calm, not to aay cool, but Mra. Kant had a deeper than tirfao eight. Bhe knew that he ap peared eool for very muoh the aame reaann that a circular aaw appear atill when It la going fait enough. For beraelf and for tbe major pirt of man kind ahe waa a very light aeofler at love; but aha waa no auch foul aa not to know that the heart which hai truly loved and never forget doee have lie exlatenee In the flush aa well aa in the line of Krin'a bard. Bo, auniinlng up the altuation with the aid of obser vations upon hla character, made rath er eieauathvl.v aume five yean gone by, ihe came to the conclusion that, when ahe should be ready, It would take perhapa half an hour at the out aide to have him at her feet aa a tiger la at the feet of a trainer with a whip. Heneely epoke at last. "Vim did your work pretty thoii !(. !, . unite you were about It, you nr." he said. "I went to Ihe devil aud Ui Im'-rovk In aomething Icaa than a jear. Then 1 aaarrled a Portugueae nslirr girl when A Bureau 2 Information.

I wai drunk, and ihe and I are living together In that ahanty over there." He nodded In the direction of a little unpalnted board thack aouie SO yardi off among the aanda. Mra. Kent covered her face with her palms' While ihe gained time to try nd think of lomething aa dramatic and conclae. Hut ber own appearance did not lend Itaelf to narrative of tbe kind. She made t broken murmur. vague with hlnta of her own deep wrctchedneae, do tnatead. Ileuealy did not anawer; only turned on hie heel and ltd the way to the landing etcpe. He waa there to help her out when he eame back. When ahe skcd if ahe might ue the boat next morning hi told her yea. H explained it to him elf being proper pride, and that he ibould not fancy him afraid After a day or two he altered the explana lion to that It couldn't matter any way, and often that he did not try to explain. He let thlnga go. At thia point ihe lingered, alltlng upon the keel of a vawl up for repalra, and talked abodt beraelf In hnpeleae vein The enaulng atepa were talk about himaalf. He responded fairly cosily and ahowed hie drawlnga, hla t x.la and the new gaiollne engine band which waa hla eapeclal pride. He taught her how to atari the enirine up and to out along traced llnea through the hardeat wood with the toothed band of atetl. It waa Inevitable, thereafter, thai they ahould having had haraelf and blmaelf come to themselves. And when that happened it waa about the tenth day of her "normal and healthy" life much more did aa v. ell So tbat when ahe atnrted to go At Inst, and atnod, beautiful, In the midst of all the roughneaa around, hla head went completely, and he raught hei hand agninal hla Hps nud held It lh re It waa delight and bliia and temporary oblivion to him. It waa the success ,,f an experiment with her, and the point beyond which ahe did not mean to go, for her wladom was of thia world. Hut to Maria, Hem sly ' Pnrtiiirnc.se Wife who waa undi'r the bool house peering up through a knothole It n.is rage and jealousy of a very sau;;e kind, she had had her suspicions tbe woman who came ao often n ml f o long at break of day, and now he wa verifying them. Aa for what they laid, the two, ahe could neither luoir nor underatund nit of Hint. Her Kn;r Hah waa limited. Hut ahe aaw Hi ncslj klaalng the ahnpely hand, and there waa nothing incomprehensible, about that. If Heneely had had the allghleat Iden of what Maria had areu, he would have been juatlfied In being uneasy and in recalling tbe warning of one of those puete of hie better dnya, anent mute naturae which punlah you lu deed For Maria made no ilgn it all. Hhe only waited ber time. It eame very eoon. That nine night Heneely wna called upon to repair the hull of a launch, and he had to lie up until long paat midnight, working with luiitcrna, to take advantage of the tide. The onaequenoe wai that he nveralrpt hlmaelf the next dny. Maria, however, did not. Bhe aroae early and went out, When Mra. Kent came, humming a natch of eon J that ahe knew would be calculated to iwaken nieniorlra In Heneely, Maria waa hidden behind a pne oi lumnvr in tne nark corner where the gaaollne engine waa, lying In wait, with a big knife up her slouvc Mra. Kent bad no iiisploi if that. Hhe wandered around the hoathoiise playing with varloaa Ihlugt, and final- ly, aa the time grew loug, ahe went over to the corner and ainuaed ber aelf by atartlng the band-saw tip, aa Heneely had ehnwa her how to do. The gasoline engine began to aplt and hlee, and the ahlny contrivances, whoaa namae aha did not know, to clat ter ajid turn. The ssw-sdged hnml Itielf began to whir ao vary faat thnt It aeemed to he quite atill. Hhe In Id a aorap of wood agalnal it and watched It cut (monthly In two without a Jar. When ehe looked up ahe eould aea Heneely hurry over along the path through the duiire from hla ahnck She atopped playing with the aaw, uiul tood waiting for him, beginning the train of long again. Her hand was lying oloie to the moving band M aria railed hereolf up In the ahedow and looked at It. It waa 10 white, ao .mall, ao near the turning aaw. It was tin eame hand that Heneely had klssi-d We day before. Tbe whir of the machinery waa In Mra. Kenf tare. The light of the low raya falling through the open door wee In ber eyea. Hhe did not henr the boarde behind her creak She did not ee that Kim on wae mining nearer and nearer, with hot eyea watching mat wnit ana rarelraa hand The engine waa apitting and clatter Ing unconcernedly when llene.lv atepped Into the place, and In the gloomy corner near It, aomething white aud huildled waa on the floor. It waa a woman'a figure fallen on tin face and with aruui thrown mil. (l the end of one arm there wae a hiunl On that of the other- there u num. Mra. Kent'i tale, to Ileuealy ami to her huaband, waa never quite clr Perhapa ahe had moved; perhapa )ie had awayeel; perhapa lome one had puahad her arm againrt the aaw. Sh bad thought that aoiur one had vnc paat her. juat aa ahe reeled and fell and, healie. the hand, cut clean at the wrlat, waa jrone. And Mai in, too, waa gone. Ileuealy never aw hir again.

Both men and women are at a disadvantage when the face is marred and scarred by an eruptive dis ease. Perhaps the woman is the more unf Munato because tho beauty of a clean tkiii and clear com plexion is ber rightful heritage. And while bhe has the friendly shelter of the Veil, it only covers what it cannot entirely conceal. The worst misfortune in the case of a man wil'i a pimply face is that ho is generally Bet down as disipated. If he seeks a position his "dissipated" face discounts Lis abilities. If lie is a salesman lie finds customers di: inclined to do business with a man whose commercial reliability must be taken largely on trust, because his face is against him. The misery and discomfort of such disfiguring eruptive diseases is apparent to everyone. Tho great question is : Can these diseases be cured ? Can this rough skin bo made smooth? Is there nny scape from tlio torment of eczema and salt-rheum? Can scrofulous sores be healed? The answer is : " AVh.it has been done can be done." Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery lias cured eruptive diseases in men and women, and cured them perfectly and permanently. It has cured pimples, boils, scrofulous sores, ervsipelas, eczema, salt-rheum and other distn. s.i;ig and disfiguring eruptive diseases. What " Guillen .Medical Discov ery " has done for others it can do for you. - It is an absolutely reliable medicine. It always heljis. It almost always cures. "It gives me great pleasure to express my faith in the virtue of I)r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes Kzckiel IToro, of Gravtown, Ottawa Co., uiiio. "1 suflcreil everything for two years with a humor on my face, which baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. Was advised to go to the hospital; was doctored there for three months without success. Came home discourageiL Then liegan to doctor with a "chemist." He also failed to help me. Then I liegan Ir. I'ieroe's GoMen Medical Dis covery, w ith no faith whatever in it. Did it only to please my wife; but I am happy to tell you that after taking five bottles I am entirely cured." iiV'-j&s "I feci it mydtitv to inform you of my wonderful cure bv the use of your medicine," w-rttes Mrs. Ii. II. McLain, of Meredosia, Morgan Co., Ilia. "In i.S.ii, a place about the site of a silver dime broke out on mv scalp and kept spreading until it went nil over mv head. It pained a great deal and ran, and we tried a great many doctors and all kinds of patent medi cines but none did nny good. So it went on until iSo,, un,l I W3S taken sick and lav alxvut ten weeks. I was in a very weak condition, and I was recommended to trv Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took alsmt six bottles, I think. About three bottles of medi cine for my weakness, not thinking of it helping me in any other wav, but I feel fo thankful that I don't know how to express mv thanks for the cure of the sore.' I have often thought I would write to you but neglected to do so. I think it a miracle, fur I had given up all hope of ever lieing cured. You have a!J the j raitc of the wonderful cure. Mv husband thinks this was all that was necessary to write. If you want proof you can ask all in the neighbor hood. I am now in my 6Mh year and am very etrori;." "Three- times I have cured myself of ervsipelas," writes Mrs. Lolita J. Mitchell, of 1R24 AHeline Street Oakland, Alame la Co., California, "bv uring vour 'Golden Medical Discov ery alter I had been under the doctor's care and found 110 relief." "It lias U-eii five years since 1 t-jok your Golden Medical Discovery,' for n scrofulous affec tion of the cervical glands of the nee!-.," writes Mr. .ebulon II. I.oftin, of Gfifton, Pitt Co., -. 11 . K, to t,eU -vou t,mt 1 'ML' V'ai1 r-tllr'1 of he disease. I thought 1 would write and let you know that I have not forgotten you, and never will while I live." The reason for the thorough t ines of eruptive diseases effected by the use of Dr. 1 icrcos (.olden Medical discovery is this: It entirely cleanses the blood from the impurities which cause the diseases. I'nlil these corrupting impurities aro removed there can U- no permanent cure. Pimples, boils sores, etc., are only the outward signs of th,. imvard disease. To cure the disease the cause must be cured, and ' Golden Medical Di,rv, ry " absolutely eliminates from the blood tho corrupt and clojrginjr ehuients which cause disli-uring emotions. It restores tho skm to normal siii,i,.tb:-css, and the i.tire, healthy blood simply produced by its itujms dyes tho cheek with the ruddy hues of health. Dr Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be used with the "Discovery" when tho bowels are irregular or the liver sluggish. Tho two medicines are especially adapted to bo used together wh,,.,-er a laxative is required. il.o manifest motive for substitution U to enable the d, aler to make tho littlo more proltt paid on the Kile of les meritorious r. medics. To accept a substitute medicine as "just s good" as "Gold,,, J,,li.,,l Discovery" is to repeat the folly of tho familiar fable and trade substance lor .shadow. 7sW ?'f 7 af? 0 O 3"" '"r0 " h"""hl'' nodical ' j 7v'rf" Drm Common Sonam a" ' Medical Adviaei: Thia O'cmf work oontalnlnj, oW .
