TWO YEARS OF TORTURE FROM STOMACH TROUBLE Cured by the USC Of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. for Pale People. There are two ways usually adopted •Iu trying to cure. indigestion or stom- ach: troublee-one the wrong way using purgatives and i;he other drugs eeltich only act locally and which in the tong run eaUses more distress by weakening the whole system. The other Way and the right Way is the De, Williams' manner of treatmente- that is to nourien and build up the stomach by supplying 'plenty of new, rieh, red blood. Give the stomach this much needed supply of new blood and .distress will disappear and stay ban- ished forever. The new Wood etrength- ens the nerves of the stomach and givea it the necessary power to digest food. .Thonsands hear witness to the value of the Dr. 'Williams' treatment through the blood.

"Perhaps I will; I will see,"aeswer- ed Captain Faulkner. And then, as the dressing of the ter- rapin demanded all their Detention, they left the seisleet ot Benny and devoted their minds to cookery. That night Beatty, lying alone in his loft, thought over all the loneli- ness and misery of his position, and felt a longing to return to his own compapions in. Junk lane. Beggars and thieves and worse they were; but axes' bad never been cruel or unkaid to him. He could bear anything better than this loneliness, His aced felt break- ing in his solitude. He took a sudden resolution. He would run away and go to London to his old friends the beggars and thieves, who would aide hint away from cruel Captain Faulitners and nos- rible Colonel Briefly. He would never see the pretty', friendly ehildren again, and the thought gave aim pain, until he saki to himself that theta would not be worse than to see them every day and not to be allowed to spes.a to them. So Benny gat up and dressed him- self very quietly, and went down- stairs from his lift to the scullery be- low it. There was no one to hinder Idea. He unbolted and unbarred the door, and opened it and went out. It was a dark and drizzling Weld in. November. But he did not mind the weather it rather favored his tight. He passed around -to the front of the house and. down the front garden walk, and through the gate, and oute into the lane. The lane was very dealt, but it was narrow and straight, so that he could not miss his way. , The lane led to the high road, where there were gas lamps and side- walks. Benny hurried along as fast as be coild walk, until he suddenly stop- ped Short in great surprise and de- light, A man Was leaning up against a lanais -Post. The man turned around, and Benny recognized his stepfather, Tony Brice. •••••••••••••••.• CHAPTER IV. Yeit, it Was Tony Bricei-big, buil: necked, bullet -headed, rcd-haired Tony Brice. But, oh, so altered! So aged, haggard, ragged and wretched! Benny could „scarcely recognize him. They stared at each other for a mos ment in doubt, and then both at once spoke. "Why, Daddy!" said Bonny. "Why, Benny, my man! ' cried Ton y. "Oh. deddy, Im so glad to see you!" said the lonely boy, burstieg into tears. "So am I you, Benny, my brave boy!" said. the wretched man. "They told me as hew you had run- ned away to forring parts, never to come back no more!" wept Benny. "They told you a. lot o lies, then, 'cause you see I have come back.

Benny sat down on a, stone under the edge. Ile was very tired and very willing to rest for a Vane, But as soon as he eat down he began to grow verY sleepy. He watched and listened until Brice's burly form disappeared in the darkness and the echoes of his foot- steps died away, and nothing was to be seen but the lonely lane, and aoth- ing te be heard but the drizzling rain. Berney nodded, recovered himself; nodded again, And he repeated this Process some halt a dozen times be- fore he finally fell fast asleep. He had slept some time, when he was suddenly aroused by a, quick suc- cession of violent noises. There was the report ot several shots tired fast, one after the other, and there was the swift rushing of feet. Benny started up in a panic and rub- bed his eyes. Ile saw lights glancing from windows in the cottage at the end of the lane, and he knew at once that the whole household had been aroused. Two men were running up the lane --the pursued and the pursuer. The foremost one had a large peek up- on his back, evhich retarded his pro- gress. The hindmost one was disem- barrassed, and was gaining rapidly on the foremost, who suddenly wheeled around and fired a pistol. The hind- most man dropped, and laid perfectly still. And the next moment Benny recog- nized Tony Brice in the man who car- ried the pack and fired the pistol. "dap; bully boy. Cut and run for your life. London, YOU know. Cracks - Man Jack," exclaimed Brice, as he flew past the boy. Benny. suddenly startled from his deep sleep, perplexed, bewilderedatere rifted, scarcely realizing what had happened, yet feeling that his onlY safety consisted he instant flight, stag- gered to hM feet, and ran off as' fast as Ids legs could carry him. He clambered over a hedge and ran across a field, and then clamber- ed over a second hedge and got out upon a common, ran across the com- mon and came out upon the high road. The darkness of the Meat mad the drizzling rain favored his eseepe. And the dawb of day found him in, Londod, and in the neighborhood of the Seven Male. He knew the den of thieves indicat- ed to him by Tony Brice, and known to the craft as Cracksman Jack's. It was a tumble-down old house, in a court, in the darkest, dirtiest and densest part of the neighbOrhood. Benny passed in and found himself In the raidst elf its wretched denizens -beggars, tramps, thieves and worse, of men, Women and children, He was a stranger to most ot them, and they were jealous of the entrance of strangers, They looked at him now simpiciously and then receg- Weed him as the little tramp that he was, and therefore one of them- selves. "What d'yer want here, boy?" in- quired a good-natured looking, poor wreck of a girl, who was loitering on a miserable doorstep. "Why, please, Miss Mary Hann, I want the eracksman," answered the lad. "Why, it's Benhy!" exelaimed the girl, recognizing an acquaintance, "I declare, child, I didn't khow yer. But then I ha'n't eeen yer for more than a year. Yet want the crationnan?" "Yes, Miss Mary elem." "Jack!" called the girl, tinning her Imad toward the door, A low -built, thick -set beetle-brow- ed, blatkehended and altogether very ill-ftwored fellow made his apt/a:trance from the inside ot the bouse, growl- ing; "Willi, 'wet d'you 'want now?"

OUR WORD "GARDEN." In the Old Anglo-Saxon it Meant Private Inclosed Land, We speak so freely and often of a "garden," assuming that there is some defined -common use of that -word even among the authorities on garden - Mg subject% 13ut the fact is that it has reached migaty elastic limits in their svritings and speech and can be taken to mean anything from the en- ormous private peas and estates to the tin can glories of a back yard.. The word garden is from the •old Anglo-Saxon root "gyrden," meaning luclosure. At that time, due to the uncertain, character of comraunity lifer it was either inclosed within fortitica- tions or left unprotected and exposed without. This private inclosed. land was the garden of that time. That is the meaning of garden in the Sang cif Solomon. Gradually the sense of the word has caanged to cover tlaose parts of the land devoted to the cultivation of plants either for pleasure or for use; thus, we have tae vegetable or fruit garden, and on the other hand, the wall, water or rose garden, etc. Liberty Hyde Bailey defines a gar- den as "the personal part of an es- tate, that area which is Pabst inti- mately associated with the private life or the home." Whatever the sense hi which it is used, the word "garden" elways suc- ceeds in carrying with it an. atmos- phere of romance 'and of beaday, which countless ages of use cannot dim.-Philacielphia Record.
