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

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

when that happened it waa about

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.

Are not more disfiguring 10 rura wt'ta raI'pr than
blotches and jiimples are to the clean white skin.
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.
