A Cold
Honeymoon
By IRVING BACHZLLZR '
(ueyrtaMO, wa, ky MUy atocr V- oj
IT WAS our weddlnff Journey. W
had come up to Ban Franelaco on
our way to New York by rail. The
journey aa rather too coitly for the
Income I enjoyed, but, alail I had
jironuiedl '
"You can pjet aralperi' ticket!," a
friend had aoid to me, "they will acre
enouifh to pay 1'uH-min fare."-
I had arnail knowing ' calpera'
ticket. Of their chenpneai I had often
heard, but of their power to demoral
ize a man and chHiie rerythin( that
la hie, from hla name to hia character,
I knew nothing.
I had taken a atateroom 1n which
wo were to hava a week of fur honey
moon quite to oliraelvea. A little be
fore train time I went out to Inveatl
rats the matter of aralpera' ticket!.
"I can fix you all rl(bt." "'d h
airrcrnhle irrntleman, who dealt In
them. "Here are two ticket! (fo" l
a man and woman. They will anve yon
IM. Firat-claia, and 1 guarantee their
acceptance." ''-.
I looked at them hurriedly there
wai no time to low. It wa a laidiiK
worth while. Twenty dollara would
nearly pay for the atateroom.
I took them. He tucked them, Into
n envelope. I paid him the money
and hurried back. The Ufe waa
about to leave and my wife waa wal
Irtfr at the ladlea' eilt. We got aboard
with all haute and were ahnrtljr on
our way to the depot. When we were
on the train at laat I looked at the
two tlcketa. That for my wife had
been leatied to one Mlaa llrldget Mur
phy. "Mlw Itrlilfet Murphy!" I aoftly
exclaimed. "What do that mean?"
I limited the half-yard of euutMHia
and the regulation! of the company.
The ticket had evidently been bought
by Mlaa Murphy. It waa good from
Reattli to New York via Ran Fran
elaco. Bhe had ed It to the latter
point and then aoid It, for aome rea-
on, to the acalper. The thing that
worried me waa the fact that the
ticket waa not traniferahle, according
to the contract on lt face. Mlaa Mur
phy niual prevent It heraelf and 111
dorae It In the preaenoe of the con-
duclor. If any other endeavored to
uae It the ticket waa forfeit to the
company. The train waa under way
I excuaed mM'aelf and went to the
moklng room. Sitting there quietly
I examined the other ticket That
waa aigned one 8am. flwackhammer.
It wai the handwriting of a blaek
amlth and not eaay to Imitate. It had
a alcdge hammer awing to it. The
truth came clear to me after a UtlTe
thouirht. A araliM-ra' ticket was one
a man paid for partly in money and
nnrllv In hie hope of Heaven. 1 nitild
not afford to buy new tickela and
fur the real of the trip, I muat be Mr.
Hwarkhammer and my wife a lady of
the name of Murphy. I prranme my
firat name waa Samuel, tint the man
had writ leu it Sam. I inuat manage
It loinehow and quickly. I took out
in V pencil and tried to Imitate the
rliinwv algnature. At eonn aa I got
the awing of It I hitatened to my bride,
She had a happy aiulle and waa look
Ing out of the window. Khe wlahed
me tn vlemv the acenery, but aaw my
perturbation he looked tip at mi
"Durlingl" ahe exclaimed, "what la
the matter?"
"(Inly thia," I aald, "a inlatake haa
been made, and until w gvt to New
York your name will have to be Mur
phy." i
"Murphy!" ahe exclaimed, "what
do vou mean?"
"Well, I got the wrong ticket! Some
vmv," 1 aald. "I don't know how
happened I waa In a great hurry. We
muat make thr beat of It now. Juat
aurn the name of Murphy on your
ticket. It will be nil right. There It
la, llriilget Murphy," I mid, holding It
up to her.
"What a horrible name!" the aald
with a aiirh.
"llrre," I amid, "take my pencil and
ee If you can Imitate It."
"Why, Tom," ahe exclaimed "that
would be wicked. I don't think Jt'i
nice nt nil."
"It lan't nice." I anawered, "but It
neeeaaar.r. I can't aee anything elae
to do. Hcaldit you niuMn't cull me
Tom. You muat call me Sam."
"I could nt do It," kht- id, iV
clalvely.
She turned and aat looVin., thought
fully nit of the window.
"And do yon think I Mn'l let you
call me llrldget T" ahe aki-,l. In a tone
"I might call you M'aa
then," I anawered, "or Mi
for abort."'
In a moment there were teara in
her n-n, I excuaed myielf to go and
get drink of water. I improved the
opportunity it gave me t-j ntuily further-the
ungraceful chiroi'rnphy of
thejate Mr. Strackhauimi r. W hen I
returned ihe vra dilig utiy practicing
on the algnatureof M Murphy. The
conductor came In. He looked at in
aharply for a trying moment, took
the ticketg and examined them care
fully.
"Miaa Murphy Mr. Swuckhnmmer,
laid he, reading the nam. a; "plenae
ign them."
We did ao and be gave " checke
for them and paaaed on. The Pull
man agent waa at hia elbow. Ik
looked up, Inqulkitlvely, a I handed
over the atateroom ticket. Then be
nulled a knowing aort of amile.
"Shall vou want another atate
room?" he Inquired.
Aa he opoke my mind -went up to ita
kneea In the mire. Of eourae it would
not do for Mr. Hwackhammer to oc
cupy atateroom with Miea Murphy.
I felt ai if eoroebody had opened a
furnace door a foot away from my
face.
"Ye yea," I atammered, "of conrae
I I whall want another atateroom.
"Why, no you won't," aaid Mlai Mur
phy, aweetly, but deciiively, aa )ie
briuhed the lint off my coat collar, "I
want you with me."
I atared helpleaaly at the agent for
1 little. My wife eaw the aerioti) char
acter of the aituation. and turned her
face, looking thoughtfully out of the
window.
"Yea," anld I, feeling fur my money.
"Oivc me a aectlon for myeelf."
To my chagrin it coat me more
than I had aaved by thoae infermil
tlcketa. And they were alio to rob
our honeymoon of ita luater that
waa the woret of It. We were to he
put Blunder In the very heyday of
our married life. I began to Iniigh,
from the tickle of deapnir aa aoou hh
tha man had left ui. My young wife
wiped her eyea and looked very hu
rloiu. "Muruh," laid I, "you muit linrn
to treat jne coldly for uwhilu. U
member, on thia Journey we arc
nothing more to each other than ac
quaintance!, or, at heat, friemli.
fihe lat ill ailrnce a little time.
"Couldn't I be your aintcr?" aho
whlapered, preienbly, a aolemn look
on her face.
Inipoaalble!" I exclaimed. "How
could Min Murphy be the alatt-r of
Mr. Svinckliiiinini-r?"
I didn't know but there wai aome
way to munage it," laid the, with a
igh.
"It'i too difficult," aald I. lou
might ai well try to bo my grandmother."
Well, it waa s long journey, and
Jx-fore it waa over everyliody on the
ear got to know everybody eliu. Miai
Murphy, being young, and, oi I have
evejr thought, very beautiful, liecame
ieedlngly popular. I here were
three young men going enit to col
lege who were more attentive to her
11ih.1i thev had mil riirht to be. Not
that ahe gave them undue encourage
ment It waa not neceamry. Khe wai
only decently polite. They brought
her fruit and water, hooka and inug
aituei mid ncwtpapcri, and told
torlei and aang aougi to her, and
what, with It all, I hnd a feeling
worae than loiiulineaa-it waa one of
alwolute liereatemeiit. lay by day
wai drooping like a flower that
had been cut and thrown In the duat.
One day, when they hail nil gone out
for dinner and we were Bitting alone,
I determined to apeak my mind.
"My darling!" I whiapered, "1 don t
like thoae young men. Ihcy are too
familiar. You iiuiBtn't let them come
aear you. They are u eon founded
auiaance. I am your lawful hualiaud,
hut I can hardly get a word with
you."
"You foolieh thing!" lain ane.
Didn't you tell me I wai to be cold
ml dlelunt to you?"
"Yea, but I didn't think you would
bear down na hard aa you have,
aaid I, and got up. a little out of
patience, and made for the hiiiokiug
room. The college boyi had jut
come In for dinner. Ai I itoppid a
moment outalde the door I could
hear them talking v. bile they were
lighting their clgara.
Poor old Swackey!" aald one,
laughing ai he apoke.
"He la bend over heeli In love with
her." mid another. "Hut he hnan t
a ghoat of a allow."
l,oki aa if he had been nit with
an ax, aald another.
Or whacked with a hammer," laid
the flret.
I had heard enough, mid culm'
awav. if i wai not ai nappy aa i
might have been, 1 went unwounded
the real of the Journey. W lien at
laat we wera croaaine the ferry at
New York we were no longer Swnek
hammer and Murphy, lut the happy
loveri we had been.
"I never want to change my name
again," aald my wife, with a algh of
relief.
"And vou never ahnll until I am
dead," waa my amwer.

often destroys her beauty and mars her usefulness while she is
yet in the springtime of life.
There is not a woman who would not be glad to i.ty
this burden of ill-health ; to exchange the dragging sup, mc
sensitive nerves, the pain-racked body, for a body glowing
with abundant health. That exchange is made possible by
the use of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription. In the many
letters received by Dr. Tierce from women who have been
cured by the use of his " Favorite Prescription," there is one
phrase constantly recurs: "I feci like a new woman.

there is a failure to express ail the happiness that health nas
brought, the writers fall back on the time-worn words ex
pressive of absolute and entire change and improvement
of physical and mental conditions.
" Hefore I commence! to tise your iiieilii inc I wis in a bail con
ilition (for eight years) nml four doctors tre-tcil me," writes lUrs.
Hettie Askew, of" Gnrvshur, Northampton Co., N. C. "Tliey of

was some il.ivs in tnv heil an'l some (lavs I dragK'.il aliout the house.
I have ustil five bottles of ' Favorite Prescription' and five hollies of
the 'Golden Medical Discovery,' and four vials of the 'Pellets..'
Now I feel like a new woman, and I want the world to know it."
"I Biiffi'ied with female weakness about eiht years tried several
doctors hut derived no benefit until I Ix-jran using Dr. Pierce's l a-
vorite Prescription," writes .Mrs. John Green, ot Danville, ISoyle lo.
cine wa3 recommended to me by other patienis,
like another person."
The wonderful curative properties of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription are best
displayed in the cures of chronic diseases, which local physicians had treated
without success or pronounced to be absolutely incurable. The cure of Mrs.
Graham, as told in her letter given below, is an illustration of what has been
done for hundreds and thousands of weak and sick women. Here is a case of a
woman who had never seen a well day since she reached womanhood. Thysicians
agreed that hers was an incurable chronic disease. And yet by the use of "Fa
vorite Prescription " Mrs. Graham was restored to perfect health, and with a gain
in weight of forty-five pounds to witness to the reality of the cure.
"I am just as well now as I was when I came into the world," writes Mrs. P. A. Graham, of
617 Race Street, New Orleans, La. " I will put it at that anyway for I cannot remember ever
seeing a well dav since I became a woman twenty-five years ago), until six months ago when I
began the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery,' and ' Fleas
tut Pellets.' They are the best medicines on earth made for women and their complaints. No
matter what the disease may lie, even if called incurable by doctors. I was treated by several
country phvsicians and also had some of the best city physicians to presenile for me. They
all said my case was incurable, lx ing a chronic disease of long standing. I had been sick for
eight years until six mouths ago, when I commenced with Dr. R. V. Pierce's medicine, and it
brought me out to where I am now, from ninety pounds to one hundred and thirty-five. If
any sufTering woman will write Dr. Pierce he will write her a fatherly letter and give her good
advice, and if she will follow his instructions will find out in a very short time that she has
been mistaken by putting her trust in home doctors."
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening
drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. Its use
will carry a woman in comfort through that trying period known as the turn
of life. It soothes the nerves, encourages the appetite
and induces refreshing sleep.
Kick women, especially those suffering from chronic
forms of disease, are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by
letter, free. All correspondence is held sacredly pri
vate and strictly confidential. Address Dr. R. V.
