IN DAYS OF OUR
FOREFATHERS
Women Prepared Their
Own Medicinet
The wise pioneer women learned to
father, In woods and fields, the reme
dies the Indians
used. From the
rafter ot colonial
houses, hung great
bunchei ot dried
rooti and herbs.
From those. In
times ot sickness,
the busy mother
brewed simple and
powerful remedies.
From roots and
herbs, L y d 1 a B.
Plnkham.a descend'
ant ot these sturdy pioneers, made her
Vegetable Compound. The beneficial
effects of this dependable medicine are
Touched for by hundreds ot women.
Mrs. Wm. Kraft of 2S3S Vlnewood
Are., Detroit, Mich., saw a Ptnkham ad
rertlsement in the "News" one day and
made up her mind that she would glre
the Compound a trial. At that time she
was Tory weak. 'After the first bot
tle," she writes, "I began to feel better
and like a new woman after taking six
bottles. I recommend It to others and
always keep a bottle In the house."
Mrs. Oust Green of 401 Lincoln Park
Boulevard, Rockford, Illinois, found
herself In a condition similar to that
of Mrs. Kraft. "I waa weak and run
down," she writes, "but the Vegetable
Compound has helped me and I feel
tetter bow. I recommend It to all
.women who need mora strength,"
Justice) for Goldenrod
The goldenrod was once popular,
and loved by the poets, but was later
banned because of the accusation that
It was the cause of hay fever. Now
rumors Indicate that Justice Is about
to bo done and the goldenrod restored
to Its old place In popular favor. The
ragweed, and not the goldenrod. Is
now thought to be the offender. There
arc 87 varieties of the goldenrod and
some of these varieties may be found
tn nearly every state In the Union.
Thus goldenrod lovers will welcome
Its restoration.

CHAPTER I Continued

t had forgotten my surroundings,
forgotten the dingy cobbles of Mincing
lane, forgotten the strange circum
stances under which I had met this
strange person who seemed so Ulti
mately versed In my family history. I
lived over again the brave days at
Foxcroft when Charles had been mas
ter and I hia lieutenant. Rut the mo
ment passed, the memories faded, snd
my eyes saw again the drab buildings
of the alley and the odd figure of my
deliverer whom I had first delivered.
"And you, air," I said. "May I ask
how It happens you know so much con
cerning the fortunes of a plain Dorset
family r
lie seemed not to hear me, standing
there In a brown study, and I spoke
to him again sharply.
"Tea, yes, I heard." he answered, al
most Impatiently. "I waa But this
Is no place for discussion. Come with
me to my house."
8me trace ot my feelings must
have been revealed In my attitude
my face he could not have seen In the
darkness for he continued:
"Ton need not fear me. Master Or
merod. I mean you no harm. I could
not do harm to your father's son."
"But your I asked. "Who are you.
slrr
Ho chuckled dryly.
"Ton know my name," he answered,
"and you heard the watch acknowl
edge my civic dignity. For the rest
If you have spent much time In Dorset
yon should know a Dorset voice."
"I do that," I assented heartily, "and
'tis grateful to my ears."
"Then be content with that, sir, for
few minutes. Come, let us be on our
wsy. I have reasons for not wishing
to Invite a second attack upon us."
Ho set off at a great pace, his head
burled In his cloak collar, and I
walked beside him, puzzled exceed
ingly. Ten mlnntes later we stopped before
a tall, gabled bouse of brick and tim
ber on the near side of Holborn. My
companion produced key from his
person and unlocked heavy door
which opened upon a staircase leading
to the second story. The first floor
was occupied by shop.
"Enter, Master Ormerod." said Jug
gins. "Tou are right welcome. I hope
you have none of the country gentle
man's scorn for the borne of an honest
merchant"
"A beggar must not be chooser," I
answered. "But If I were not Indebt
ed to you for my liberty I should still
be glad to visit a Dorset man who
knows bow to fight and who remem
bers the woods of Foxcroft
"Well spoken," applauded Juggins
as he fastened the door behind os.
"8o I might hare expected your fa
ther's son to speak."
"That Is the second time you have
called me my father's son,'" I ssld.
"Prithee, Msster Juggins, had you ac
quaintance with my father?"
"Bide, bide." he replied enigmat
ically. "We shall settle all that anno.
After yon, air."
And he ushered me up the stairs,
which were hung with the skins nf
many kinds of snlmals, some of which
I did not even know. The stairs gave
upon large hall, similarly decorated,
and through this we passed Into a com
fortable chamber which stretched
across the front of the house.
Master Juggins relieved me of my
cloak and hat and motioned to a deep
chair in front of the fire.
"Best yourself, Master Ormerod.
Presently we shall have provender for
the Inner man as well. Ho, Goody I
Art ahed, after allT
"Abed? Ahed?" answered a thin,
old voice that was Inexpressibly sweet
with a Dorset burr that mnde Master
Robert's soun4 like the twang of a
Londoner. "Abed? says lie. When did
I ever feel the sheets, and not know
ing he was warm and safe and his
posset-cup where It belongs which Is
In tits stouiach? Abed I Didst ever
find"
She atepped Into the room, a quaint
little figure In hodden-grat a .dulnty
cap perched on her wispy white hnlr,
her brown eyes gleaming In the candle
light the criss-crossed wrinkles nf her
cheeks shining like a network of fine
lace. In her hands she held a tray
supporting a steaming flagon and di
vers covered dishes of pewtnrware.
Juggins favored me with humor
ous glance.
"Sure, I grow more troublesome
year by year, granny," he ssld as she
paused at sight of me. "Here I am
eome home luter than ever, bringing a
guest with me. Who think you he Is?"
She looked at us Inquiringly.
" TIs Master Ormerod."
"Ormerod? Not"
Aye! Mnster Harry."
"But he Is In France I"
Nay ha Is here."
Bh drew closer, and studied my fea
tures nnder the candles that shone
from the mantel shelf.
"Is he In danger?" she asked breath
lessly, "The watch weie after hlin when he
came to my rescue," replied Juggins.
"Yet he came." ,
She patted my cheek with her hand.
"That was a deed which you need
never be ashamed of, Master Ormerod,
and you shall win free to safety, what
ever It may be or wherever, If Hubert
and I have any wits between us. Sit
yourself down, Master Ormerod, and
you shall have a draft of mulled ale
and a dish of deviled bones and there
afterward a bed with sheets that have
lain tn Dorset lavender. Hatb It
welcome sound to you?"
The tears came Into my eyes.
"I am happier this night than I have
been any time since Charles and t left
Foxcroft," I said. "But pray tetl me
why you two, who are strangers to
me, should be so Interested In an out
cast?" "He does not know?" exclaimed the
little old Indy.
"I have told htm nothing," said Jug
gins, smiling.
"Well, tis time he knew he was
amongst the right sort ot friends," the
little lady snld. "Too are too young.
Master Ormerod, to remember old Pe
ter Juggins"
A light hurst upon my addled wife.
"Why, of coursel" I cried. ?IIe waa
steward under my father, and tn hla
father's time before him I But your
"Peter waa my husband," aha aatd
simply. "Robert here Is our grand
son. When Peter died your father of
fered his place tn Hubert Robert
would hare bone of It He had the
5rrWl
'j PRESENT J00
wandering bee In hla bonnet He was
young, and he must see the world. He
would mske his fortune, too. No life
ss sn estate steward for him."
"And wise I was, too, granny," Inter
Jerted Master Juggins. "Even yon
will grant thst now
"Be not too elevated hy your good
fortune." she retorted. "Had you fol
lowed your grandfather at Foxcroft
your counsel might have restrained
Master Harry and hla brother from
their madness"
"I wish It might have." t said bit
terly, thinking of Charles' lonely grave
on a mist-draped hillside la the
Scotch highlands.
"Many a gentleman would have
taken In bad part such sn answer to
an offer made In kindness, Master Or
merod. But not your father. No,
after trying ail he could by fair means
to dissuade Robert from his course,
he ssked where his fancies drifted,
snd then supplied him with money for
the voysge to the Western Plantations
and to enable hlin to secure a start
Twss that permitted Robert to go
overseas and to set himself np as a
fur-trader there and afterward to re
turn and establish his business down
stairs, which hath grown so that It Is
more than he can handle. All of It,
I say, we owe to you."
"All of It, granny," reaffirmed Mas
ter Jugglna himself. "Y'hsve not msde
It one whit too strong for me. But
I would find out before we sleep how
I may be of aid to Master Ormerod."
"Aid?" quoth she. "All thst we
hsve In the world Is his. If he wants
It ; aye, the clothes off our bscks. Good
night to you. Master Ormerod. And
remember, this house, poor though It
be for your father's son, Is to he your
home until you have a better."
I rose and bowed my acknowledg
ments, but I could not ape.uk. My
heart was too full. Here In this
bleak, unfriendly London, which had
greeted me with suspicion and perse
cution, I had found friendship and as
sistance. It wns almost too good to
believe.
"I have no claim upon you, Master
Timber, Sound, Though
Furniture made from oak used by
the Romans more than 1,800 years
ago In the construction of sn em
bankment for the Thames Is shortly
to be added to the historic treasures
of the Mansion house, says the Lon
don Mall.
The timber, discovered during exca
vations behind King William street
E. C, Is In good condition, although
It has been burled for centuries.
It Is In the possession of Mr.
Thomas 3. Edwards, a member of the
London and Middlesex archenloglcnl
society, who, with other experts, Is
satisfied that the find Is port of tin
Juggins," I exclaimed as the dew
closed behind his grandmother. "Be
member that. And let me not Imperil
for one moment two friends of my
father, who revere his memory as I had
not supposed sny did, save myself."
He pushed me down Into my chair
by the fire.
'There la no question of claim, sir
TIs a privilege. Do you tell me now
of your present plight Fear not to
be frank with me, Muster Ormerod. I
do not mtx In politics. I am none of
your red-hot loyalists who would hang
a man because he remarks that our
worthy king Is a Hanoverian hy birth.
But on the other hand I'll have
naught to do with these plotters who
fume over the exiled Btuarts.
'The Stuurts went, sir, because they
overtaxed the forbenrunce of a long
suffering people. They might have re
turned ere this, aa you know, had they
possessed the good sense tn appreciate
what their whilom people required.
But they lacked that good sens, Mas
ter Ormerod, and with all deference I
say to you they will never return un
less they learn that lesson very soon."
I leaned forward I t my chair and
Interrupted him, the worda bubbling
from my lips,"
"I could not have pot neater my
own feelings. Master Jugglna. When
I was a lad not yet of age I risked all
I had for the Stuart cause. What
came of It? A life of exile that might
have ruined me, aa It hns many a bet
ter man. My famlly'a estate was e
questrated; my outlawry waa pro
claimed. I have no place to lay my
head, save It be by the bouuty of a
foreigner.
"Have I secured sny moral satis
faction by these sacrifices? At first I
thought I had. But when I looked
closer I found that I had done nothing
for my country. .For the Stuarts, yes.
But for my country, nothing.
"This msde me think the herder,
Msster Juggins. At the beginning I
had taken sest In the plots and plana
which were aimed to bring aboit hla
restoration to power,
"But the longer I atudled them the
more Insincere they became. I found
my leader a ratapaw of foreigners,
nsed to undermine Englsnd's prestige.
Ills alms were not the good of Eng
land, but his own sggraodlsement the
furthering of France's ambitions."
"Hast learned that, lad? Why. then,
there's no more loysl Englishman la
London 1"
"So you think," I answered. "Ho 1
think. But hear me out I told my
feelings to a certain great gentleman
who handles affairs at 8t Germain.
He cursed me for a turncoat would
have ordered his lackeys to Dog me
from the palace. I left him In die
grarw. The doors of my friends were
closed to me. I thought I would mske
my wsy to England and begin a new
life.
"So I applied to the English amhas
ssdor for a passport He laughed at
me. Did I think he was so Innocent
ss to be blinded by such transparent
trickery? Nay, the Btuarte must seek
otherwhere for means to plant a fresh
spy In Kngland. In desieratlon then
I bought passage from a smuggler of
Dlrpe. who landed me three weeks
since In Sussex. I msde my wsy to
Dorset hoping to find old friends who
would help me to gain a pardon; bat
I was recognized by one of my cousins
who now hold Foxcroft house, and be
raised a hue and cry after me, fearing
no doubt that I sought to regain ths
estate.
"Since then I hsve been hunted like
a beast My Isst shilling wss spent
this morning. Tomorrow, hsd I
escaped so long, I planned to sell my
sword, and If all else failed to seek
a press-gang."
"Let os thsnk God yon heard say
cries," aald Juggins esmestly.
"I do," I said, "and with no lark of
reverence, my frlaud, I also thaak
yon."
He gave me a keen look.
"Ton call me friend. Do yon mean
the word?"
"Why notr
"I waa your father's servsnV he
said, and he aald It so that the words
were at once proud and humble.
I caught his hand In mine.
"Tou were his friend, too; and who
am I, an outlaw without name or for
tune, to aet myself above a man who
has prospered like yon through tha
diligence of his own handa and
brains?"
Master Juggins drew a deep breath
and wrung my hand hard.
"Ton'll do. lad." he said. "My help
would have been yours on any terms.
But you hsve made It a glad privilege
for me to help you. Doubt not we
ahall find a way.
"Now get you to bed. I shall have
somewhat to say to yon on the mor
row." Ths part played by the Inex
haustible riches of the Amerlesn

European polities comes as a
revelation to Ormerod.

Th Borgia
TURKIC people sat In sn upper room
of a gorgeous Roman palace one
night In UttZ Ths eldest of the trio
was a singularly beautiful woman of
perhaps forty. She was Rosa Vanossl,
the fairest Italian of her day. The
room's two other occupants were her
son and daughter, Uesare and Luvreala
Borgia. They were swatting the air
nul that should announce the election
of Itodrlgo Borgia, father of tar
and Lucrezla, aa pope.
Italy, In the Fifteenth century, was
spilt up Into numerous petty king
doms, principalities snd duchies, mora
or less Independent of one another,
yet all subject to the aptrlluiif author
ity of Rome. The pope, too, held raat
possessions, territories and armed
forces. There waa little coalition
throughout central and eastern Eu
rope. Italy and Germany were hilt of
niluor ststes; Russia waa slowly tak
ing shape at an Independent and unit
ed nation ; the former Western empire
was but a name, and the Eastern em
pire was a thing of the past Spain's
great powers, Castile and Aragon,
were Just uniting under Ferdinand
and Isabella; Franco waa recovering
from the successive beatings England
bad given her, though much of ber
territory waa still In Itrittsh hands;
Crest Brltstn wss not ss now, on
nation, for wars with Scotland still re
curred at Interval. Tbua II may be
seen thst nearly all Europe waa torn
by dissensions and lack of coalition.
Yet a brighter day waa dawning. In
14"8 the Turks crushed the Eastern
empire by rapturing Constsntlnople,
thus slso ending the vsgue dream of
re-establishing the old Western em
pire. This dream bad Impeded Italy's
progress and obstructed Germany's
consolidation. Now that It was a
thing of the past, these and other na
tions were enabled to settls down and
turn their thoughts to progress.
Hence, during the latter bait of tha
Fifteenth century, dawned the era
known aa the Renaissance (or re
birth). It wss the transition period between
the Middle sges and modern times.
And In this transition Rodrigo Borgia
unconsciously played a strong port
Borgia wss elected pope, taking the
title Alexander VI. In UK (tbe year
Columbua discovered America). Like
Richard HI and many another scoun
drel, bs msde a Just and wise temporal
ruler.
He was a man of most abandoned
personal character. Through tha fa
vor of hla uncle, Pope Callxtus III.
he had in early life risen high In the
church. Now, on mounting the papal
chair, one of hla first acts was to
mske his eighteen year-old son, Ce
sar, a cardinal. He also married hla
daughter, Lucrezla, to the son of a
neighboring prince. Soon after aba
aaw a chance to make a better mar
riage, so poisoned her husband, as
she Is slso credited with poisoning
one or more of his successors. Gio
vanni, the aew pope's eldest son, waa
created a duke. Craare Borgia, pre
ferring that rank to a cardlnalahlp,
murdered Olovannl and left the
church for a military career. Within
a very few years, by battle, diplo
macy and cold blooded murder, Oeoare
had conquered for himself a large part
of Italy, and undoubtedly planned to
make himself temporal ruler (as his
fsther wss the spiritual lord) of the
entire nation. Hla cruelties, crimes
end excesses ret Italy aghast, but his
fsther, wbe waa completely under the
young man's Influence, refused to
punish ot to any way check htm.
Charles VIII, king of France, caat
envying ayes on the rich little king
dom of Nsples snd led an army across
the Alps to annex It to his own do
minions. Pope Alexander barred his
wsy, and at last, by bribes, diplomacy
and open force (combined with a fatal
contagion that ravaged the French
army), drove hlin back.
By l.Fi03 the plans of Pops Alex
ander aod Cesara Borgia were so fsr
complete that the latter was about to
be crowned king of Horns gn a, as an
Important step tn his plan of ruling
Italy, when fate Intervened In a most
dramatic fashion. Several cardinals
who hsd offended the pope were In
vited by him to supper. Poisoned wins
flasks were prepared for them by
Alexander. Through a servant's mis
take one of the poisoned flagons was
set before the pope and Cessre. The
former waa killed and the latter made
danfrously 111 by the noxious draught
Oesare Borgia afterwards told Nlcrolo
Macchlsvelll, the wily Florentine dip
lomat and writer!
"I had prepared to meet every
emergency except tha simultaneous
disabling of my father snd myself."
As It was, Cesare's enemies gained
Instant control of the sltustlon. Ths
ambitious youth wss overthrown and
hla golden plsns crumbled to dust A
few yesrs later he died, fighting, In
exile. The Borglao dream of spiritual
and temporal empire was forever at
an end.
Through Alexander's degradation of
the holy papal office a revulsion of
feeling set In, Temporal power,
abused, reacted In the throwing off of
the fetters that had for centnrles
helped to hold back tha nations from
progress. The wsy wss paved for a
return to the original sacred purpose
of the papacy. The political wrongs
of (he system, reaching tli';lr acme
under Borgia, died down, leaving
room for betterment of both church
and state.
