Mr. Gem Argile left his native home in Yorkshire, Eftgknd, eifrht yean ago to em brace the greater opportunities thii country lie waa toi brtunate in immediately aeMring a retponaible position on n arrival in Chioaso with the Chicago and Book 1 aland Railroad Company, kaitht'ul to his duties he received recognition by pro notions and to-day is in sote eharge of the tMH traeka of this neat railway system. The poHlioa ia known in railroad circles as foreman of the teams that load and unload freight. After ewe year and a half m the employ of Urn road he start for his wife and children, who armed safety here and in good health. After some two veari reside noe here Mrs. Argile eonuneweed to feel badly. Like thousands of other women ahe bad womb trouble of ever twenty years standiug. At first this trouble, in Chicago, was not suf fieifntlv intr to interfere materially with her htmsebold duties, but in course of months it developed to so eh a degree that H peered exceedingly painful to her to at tend to the many little duties required to keep a house neat and tidy. This condition eon tinned to grow worse and worse till she was wren to reeognise wi ir sue urn hoi gei skillful medieal aid, the would grow into a eon firmed mraltd. Duriug tni period ft neijrhbor whom she had known for quite a while told her that ahe was using Dr. Wil fens Pink Pill for Pale People with ex ealieat results, and she believed that they wowaa no nor 01 ati aer trouoree wihiouv the aid of any physician.

With the second box, she knew that she was getting better, sa she gained both flesh and strength, felt a buoyaney of spirit she had not experienced in years, and the pains freca which ahe had suffered so much were matkry growing km. To-day it has been five mootlM swee she began taking the pills. She ie relieved of all her pains, has regained her strength, ao that ahe ia able to work all day, and it m only when she overexerts her self that ahe has any indication of pains, which wouM aleo happen to a perfectly well woman. Thin is the story of what Dr. Williams' 'Fink Pills for Pale People have done for her, and of oawrse ahe is well satisfied with the benefits she has received. But this does not and by any means what she has still further ta tell, and what is more she apeaks with the same knowledge she has of hT own ease, the case of her little daughter Emily who is 15yearsold. Rhe says in regard to hereabout three years ago Emily in the summer months when diphtheria was prevalent, was taken down with it. She was very ill and had serious time of H for weeks. Several times I doobted whether she would pull through but thanks to her strong constitution she cot better and after many weeks was about again. 1 noticed, however, that something was left in her throat which seemed to effect her. Then. too. she did not retrain her old livery spirits. She was languid in her move- tents, she complained of being tired and anner more it became perception; uuu sne Victors Are Best.

'Mt was only in the forepart of last year that 1 became seriously alarmed, as her laa guiduew, her cottsout tiredness increased and she became so nervous and ao fretful that if any person spoke to her, it would make iter crv. ner appemegoi poorer wuu every month and I did really wonder how the little thing could live on what site ate. Her complexion became sallow and assumed agreemsh hue, and she became what I called 'skin and bones' very thin indeed. This was her condition some four months ago. It was at this time that I had taken a few of the pills, and commencing to get faith in them I made Emily take tlieut. I say, im mediately she felt better, porliaps that is not ?uite true, but certainly after the third week could see an improved condition in her, and this improvement continued up to tin second month, slowly but surely. Then the improvement of the child became marked, her appetite returned and grew better with every day, ahe commenced to fatten up, the became more cheerful and lively and her nervousness at times left her altogether. "In the lsst two weeks her complexion has regained the perfect color of health her cheeks are fleshy and plump and the is as livelv as a cricket. Her appetite well the lew said about that the better, she is eating all the time, and all the time is hungry.

Mr. Hooker stared contemptuously at the auc-geatiou, and expectorated his scornful distent. "Not much I "he aaid. "But I'm going to aee the man that carries him and his cabinet in his breeches pocket Senator Boompolnt er." Boompointer's a big man," contin ued his auditor, doubtfully. "Do you know him?" "Know him?" Mr. Hooker laughed a bitter sardonic laugh. "Well, gentle men, I ain't the kind o' man to go in for family influence, but," he added with gloomy elevation, "considerln' he's an intimate relation of mine by marriage, I should say I did." Brant beard no more; the facing around of his old companion toward the bar gave him that opportunity of cuping he had been waiting for. The defection of Hooker and his peculiar in ventions were too characteristic of him to excite surprise, and, although they no longer awakened his good-humored tolerance, they were powerless to affect him in his greater trouble. Only one thing he learned, that Hooker knew nothing of his wife being in camp as a spy. The incidentwould have been too tempting to escape his dramatic em- lielli&hment. And the allusion to Sen ator Boonipointer monstrous as it seemed In Hooker's mouth gave hima grim temptation. He had heard of I .coin pointer's wonderful power; he be lieved thut Susy would and could help him, Clarence, whether ahe did or did not help Hooker. But the next mo ment he dismissed the idea with a flush ing cheek. How low had he already sunk to even think of itl It had been once or twice in his mind to seek the president, and, under a promise of secrecy, reveal a part of his story. He had heard many anecdotes of his goodness of heart and generous tolerance of all things but with this was joined so said contemporaneous history a flippancy of speech and a brutality of directness, from which Clarence's sensibility shrank. Would he see anything in hia wife but a com mon spy on bis army; would he see anything in him but the weak victim, like many others, ot a scheming wom an? Stories were current in camp and congress of the way that this grim hu morist had, with an apposite anecdote or a rugged illustration, brushed away the most delicate sentiment or the subtlest poetry, even as he exposed the sham of the Puritanic morality or of epicurean ethics. Brant had even so licited an audience, but had retired awkwardly amtwith his confidence un Kpoken before the dark, humorous eyes that seemed almost too tolerant of bis grievance. He had been to levees and his heart had sunk equally before the vulgarcrowd who seemed to regard this nan as their own buffoon, or the pom iiousness of position, learning and dig nity which he seemed to delight to choke and disturb. One afternoon a few days later, in sheer listlessness of purpose, he found himself again at the white house. The president was giving audience to a dep ulation of fanatics who, with a pathetic simplicity almost equal to his own pa thetic tolerance, was urging upon this ruler of millions the policy of an in significant score, and Brant listened to liis patient, practical response of facte imd logic, clothed in simple but sinewy English, up to the Inevitable climax of humorous illustration, which the young brigadier could now see was nec essary to relieve the grimness of his refusal. For the first time Brant felt the courage to address him, and re solved to wait until the deputation re tired. As they left, the gallery he lin gered in the ante-room for tbe presi dent to appear. Butashedidnotcome, afraid of losing his chances, he re turned to the gallery. Alone in bis pri vacy and shadow, tbe man he had just left was standing by a column in mo tionless abstraction, looking over the distant garden. But the kindly humor ous face waa almost tragic with an In tensity of weariness. Hvery line of those strong, rustic features wo re laxed under a burden which even the long, lank, angular figure overgrown nnd unfinished as his own west seemed "to be distorted in its efforts to adjust itself to, while the dark, deep-set eyes were abstracted with the vague pres cience of tbe prophet and the martyr. Shocked at that sudden change, Braut felt his cheek burn with shame. And hewasaboutto break upon that wearied man's unbending he was about to add his petty burden to the shoulders ot this western Atlas. . He drew back si lently and descended the stairs. But before he had left the hauM. while mingling with Vas crowd la on i ttai last sssMpt, ia im ibi dentrenppeor beside uuuuportunt.pros- nerous-looklng llgure, on -whom the kindly giant was now smiling with hu morous toleration. He noticed the di vided attention of the crowd, the name ot Senator Boomiiolnter was upon every Hp; he waa nearly face to face with that famous dispenser of place and pre fermentthis second husband of Susyl An indescribable feeling, half cynical, half fateful, came over him. He would not have been surprised to have seen Jim Hooker join the throng, wbich now seemed to him to even dwarf the lonely central figure that had so lately touched html He wanted toeacapeltalll But his fate brought him to the en trance at the same moment that Boom pointer was leaving It, and that distin guished man brushed hastily by him, as a gorgeous carriage, drawn by two spirited horses, and driven by a re splendent negro coachman, dashed up. It was the Boompolnter carriage. A f aahionably-flressed, pretty woman, who in style, bearing, opulent content ment and Ingenuous self-consciousness waa in perfect keeping with the slight ostentation of the equipage, was its only occupant. As Boompolnter stepped into the vehicle, her blue eyes fell for nn instant on Brant A happy child like pink flush came into her cheeks, and a violet ray of recognition and mis chief darted from her eye to his. For It was Susy I CHAPTEB TX When Brant returned to his hotel there waa an augmented respect in the voice of the clerk as he handed him a note with the remark that it had been left by Senator Boompointer's coach man. He had no difficulty in recogniz ing Busy's peculiarly Brobdingnagian schoolgirl hand. "Kla'uns, I call it real meant I be lieve you just hoped I wouldn't know you. If you're a bit like your old self you'll come right oft here this very night! I've got a big party on but we can talk somewhere between the acta! Haven't I growedl Tell me! And my! what a gloomy swell the young brigadier ia! The carriage will come for you so you have no excuse." The effect of this simple note upon Brant was strangely out of proportion to its triviality. But then it was Susy's very triviality so expressive of her characteristic irresponsibility that had always affected him at such mo ments. Again, aa at nobles, he felt it re act against his own ethics. Wusshenot right in her delightful materialism? Was she not happier than if she had been consistently trueto Mrs. Peyton, to the convent, to the episode ot her the atrical career, to Jim Hooker even to himself? And did he conscientiously be lieve that Hooker or himself had suf fered for her inconsistency? Nol From all that he had heard she was a suita ble helpmeet to the senator, In her so cial attractiveness, her charming osten tations, her engaging vanity that dis armed suspicion, and her lack of re sponsibility even in her partisanship. Nobody even dared to hoJl the senator responsible for her promises, even while enjoying the fellowship of both, and it is said that the worthy man singularly profited by It. Looking upon It merely as a phase of Washington society, Brant resolved to go. The moon waa high as the earring whirled him out of the still stifling ave nues towards the soldiers' home a syl van suburb frequented by cabinet min isters and the president where the good senator had "decreed" like Kubla Khan, "a stately pleasure dome ' to en tertain his friends and partisans. As they approached the house tne nib bling light, like fireflies through the leaves, the warm nllence broken only by a military band playing a drowsy waltz on the veranda, and the heavy odors ot jessamine in theair, thrilled Brant with a sense of shame as he thought of his old comrades in the field. But this wuh presently dissipated by the uniforms that met him in the hall, with the pres ence of some ot his distinguished su periors. At the head of the stairs, with a circling background of the shining crosses and ribbons ot the diplomatic corps, stood Susy her bare arms and neck glittering with diamonds, her face radiant with childlike vivacity, A sig nificant pressure of her little glove aa he made bis bow seemed to be his only welcome, but a moment later ahe caught his arm. "You've yet to know him," she said, in a halt whisper; "he thinks a good deal of himself just like Jim. But he makes others believe il, and that's where poor Jim slipped up. She paused before the man thus char acteristically disposed of and presented Brant. It was tbe man he had seen be fore material, capable, dogmatic. A glance from his shrewd eyes accus tomed to the weighing of men's weak nesses and ambltloiie.uDdufew hurried phrases apparently satisfied him that Brant was not at the moment important or available, and the two men a moment later drifted easily apart. Brant saun tered listlessly through the crowded rooms, half remorsefully conscious that he had taken some irrevocable step, and none tbe less assured by the presence of two or three reporters and torrespondents who were dogging his mips or the glances of two or three pretty women whose curiosity had evi- dent ly been aroused ny tne .inguler ab " kl. handsome, ols- This ;,r ia?r I is the J. very best i Smoking Blackwell's BULL DURHAM -roawulandoMWupootnsVto etch 1 osan ass sua twe ansoss luMt tub Bar a oss, rasa tbs nupoa sad sm bo to stt fan sssie i mnav gularly Interested, A tall young womsn had just moved into the center of the room with 1111 In dolent yet simple graccfulnt't-H th.il seemed familiar to him.
