In nearly every in-
stance severe nervous-
ness in women may be
traced to weakness and
disease of the delicate

No other class of disorders so torture a wo-
man's nerves or break them down so
quickly and effectually. Dr. Pierce's Fa- i
vorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all troubles of this de-
scription. It acts directly on the sensitive
organs concerned, makingthem strong,
healthy, vigorous and elastic. It allays
inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes
pain and tones and builds up the nerves.
It stops exhausting drains. It banishes the
indispositions that precede maternity and
makes. baby's advent easy and almost pain-
less. It insures the little new -corner's
health and an ample supply of nourish-
ment. It transforms weak, nervous inva-
lids into strong, healthy, nerve -steady wo-
men. Thousands have testified to its mar-
velous merits. 'An honest dealer will not
offer a substitute.
"My wife was troubled with efernale weak -

Esti,, of Ocheltree, Johnson Co., Kans., (P. O.

pain in back. Her periods were irregular, she
would have fainting spells, the best doctors did
her no good. I3y the time my wife had taken
four bottles of the 'Favorite Prescription' she
was cotnpletely cured. No more pain. Her
monthly periods are regular, she is stout and
strong. When she commenced taking your
medicines she weighed about 125 pounds—now
elle weighs reo pounds."

CHAPTER XL
WHY DOES IDA NOT 'COME.'"
(Continued.)
He couldn't go. No, by Jove, he could
not go -at least not that day. It must be
kept dark that the telegram had come in
time • and if he had only not been fool
enough to walk round by the post -office it
would not have been in :time ! He could
not possibly have received it before the
listed train hed left.
What a nuisance! What an abominable
nuisance ! What-" Oh, dash it al,"
groaned poor Tom, aloud, "1 have let my-
self in for it, and there's no use going on at
my luck -but what am I to do d"
For he realised more and more that the
oftener he said be could by no possibility
obey this summons, the more certain it be-
came:that he would have to do so.
• He was not in the habit of lying.
"Shall we send a reply for you, Bit!"
It was the post -mistress who spoke. Then
Tom became aware that he bad been gazing
at her with open, blind eyes for some time
past and that she must have seen that he
was in search of an inspiration.
"A reply, eh ?" said he, miserably.
"You will want to say you can't go to-
night, perhaps?" suggested Mrs. Dowdier,
whO naturally was in the confidence of the
telegram. The only train you could
catch --J-s" glancing at the elock.
"1 conldn't catch it; I could never get
up to the manor and down again in time."
"No, sir, that you could not. You
might go by an early train to -morrow, sir."
Tom was silent. Mrs. Hilary's voice,
face, the very clasp of her warm, strong
hand on his shoulder as she spoke out the
blunt words which meant so much to Ida,
and Jenny, and Louie, rushed back upon
his memory, and a heavy sigh buret from
his lips. .
For Ida's sake chiefly he would have stay-
ed ; for Ida's sake he must now go.
"Say I'm corning."
"Beg your pardon sir ?" Mile Bawdier
thought she could' hardly Wye heard
aright.
"Say -stop, hand me a form. He leaned
the gun which till now had been held be-
tween his knew, against a corner within
reach, and threw himself over the counter
on whioh the post -mistress bustled to piece
•te., telegraph form and pencil.
"Coming. Will be with yoa to -night,"
wrote Tom. He might, of course. have '
omitted '• coming," but he was not a good
hand at condensation of this sort. And,
besides, what did it matter
Now, that be made up his mind, he
gan to think of other things. -The lease of
Beech Farm' for instance. It was very im-
portant thata tenant whom he bad in view
for Beech Farm ahould have an answer by
return of post, aimpoeing an offer had been
made ; and that!offer was likely as not in
the very letter -bag of which he had been
defrauded. How should he got the letter?
Or Word to Trosty ebotit15?
Ile must also let them know at home
where he had gone, and why.
And he must order his things to be -sent.
It ended in his despatching a brief pencil
note to Ida, which was not without import-
ant results as regards our little story ;
after which the luckless traveller bethought
himself of his own personal and pressing re-
quirements.
He had half an hour at command. Could
Mrs. Dowdier give him something to eat
and drink in the interval? Could she lend
him an overcoat of Bowdler's ? And a
rug to cover his knees? -
His pipe and his tobacco pouch were
luckily in his pocket, but, save for them, he
had literally no provision for a dreary jour-
ney on a bitter night.
Mrs. Dowdier, however, rose worthily to
She occasion.
" Come upstairs, sir, this moment," cried
she, with the gratification of good -nature
and love of gossip combined. 'Come right
up," raising the shelf of the counter for him
to pass through. " Bowdler's out, but you
-can have anything you like of his; and let
-Me beg of you, Mr. Tom," dropping into
friendly phraseology as she warmed to the
work before her, do let me beg of you to
change your socks. Ay,and your boots,too,
if I can't get yours dried in time, and I
doubt I can't. The boots will be too big,
for Dowdier's a_ big man; but •anything's
better than wet feet ;" pulling out warm
woollen garments and glancing bashfully
round. You won't mind my saying it,
Mr. Tom, but there's more than socks here;
and anything Bowdler has, you are welcome
to. Just make a changes -make a chan ge-
I'll leave you to yourself -and they're all
well aired -I see to the airing of everything
for therea no trusting the girl. . And now
hurry down and get you some tea, or
s )me beer -there's no time for a chop -but
there's cold meat in the house-" descend-
, ing as she spoke, until her friendly voice
died away in the regions below.
So contagious is cheerful sympathy and
aid, that by the Mine Tom reappeared, clad
anew in warm, clean garments, he felt al-

most in spirits for the start.
A fire blazed in the little parlor, and a
meal; tempting to a. hungry man, Was spread
upon the table. .
"Pon my word, this is very nice," said
Tom. "I'm really awfully obliged, Mrs.
Dowdier, I don't know how I should haves
got on without yea," sitting down and be-
ginning at once upon the viands. "1 have
about a quarter of an hour, haven't 1? It
will only take a cpuple of minutes to run up
from here to the station. But, by the way,
there's another thing: I have no money; I
never take my purse out shooting—
" Will three sovereigns do, sir ?" Triumph
beaming in her eyes, his hostess produced a
purse. "I thought about the money while
Maggie was getting your tea," she explained,
"and you'll excuse my just putting it in my
own old purse—
" You are really tee, geed," said Tom,
warmly.
Whatever General Thistleblow might
think of his late ward's manner, no one at
Duskhill ever found fault with it.
"And he iihook my hand as -grateful and
thankful as never was, cried the worthy
post -mistress afterwards, "-and accepted
Bowdler's socks, ay, and his hum -hums"
(under her breath) "as -pleasant as you
please, dear lamb. And I do think we set
him of comfortable? Maggie here ran up
•and took his ticket while he was eating in
the parlor, and she watched for the signal
falling, so as to give him to the last drop of
his time; aiitl he -had Bowdler's rug from
off our own bed to lay across his knees -we
can easy rna,nage with something elee till he
comes back again -and I'm sure a nicer,
sweeter, gratefuller young gentleman never
was, and it's a dOwnright pleasure to do
anything to serve him."
CHAPTER XIII. .
,CORRESPONDESCE TAMPERED WITH.
- " A note from your master?" exclaimed
Miss Barnet in surprise, when, hiving been
obliged to admit an imperative maid, she
was informed why Flowers had presumed to
insist upen the bed room door's being un-
bolted. There ie nothing wrong, is there?
A note," turnin&ever Tom's pencil scrap in
her hand:-'" There has been no accident ?"
her thoughts flying to the guns of the sports-
men. ("But I heard him ,come in," re-
flected the speaker, the "him " not refer-
ring to her brother, as we know. "Can 'he
have gone to Tom? ,Can Tom be lending for
me .?") color and spirit rising. Such a mes-
sage would -not have suited Ida Barnet.
She had heard Maurice tramp past about
five minutes before, and had raised her
head at the sound. When Ma footsteps
quite died away she had sighed. "Until then
she had not known how supporting had been
the knowledge that at least Maurice was
there, within a few feet of herself; and that
directly she could 'make up her mind to
throw to the winds Lady Sophia's indiums -
tions,_ she could go in, and let her lover
speak. Now he has gone, and with him
this chance.
"1 daresay it' is for the beat," murmured
the poor girl, ruefully, " but -I did no
quite -mean him -to go away."
When Tom's note was brought in, how-
ever, Ida was herself again. She was not
going to be ordered by Tom. Whatever she
might do, should be done of .herself -not at
the bidding of Tom. .And if Maurice had
gone to her brother, it was-, a lump rose in
her throat, and she would not, say what it
was.
-
• With trembling fingers she undid . the
fastenings of the envelope. But the first
words caused as instantaneous an, alteration
of demeanor as the opening sentence of
Lady Sophia's letter had done before. This
time, however, interest flagged instead of
deepening, on perceivisig whose name formed
the subject of the communication.
"Oh, Mrs. Hilary 2" said Ida, her brow
clearing; "poor Mrs. Hilary dying, and
sent for Tom ? Stop a -moment, Flowers -
your master -just atop while I read, I may
have to send you "-reading-" there is no
time even to go back for my portmanteau.
Tell Richards to pack it for a day or. two,
and send it by early train tomorrow. There
is a Sunday train about ten o'clock. Oh,
Flowers," said her young mistress, looking
up, "will you attend to this? Your master
has been called away," and she gave the
particulars, and the message for Richards,
the butler, who also acted as Tom's valet.
"Oh, and he wants his letterstoo '. bring
the letter -bag -it is in the boudoir" (an in-
voluntary sigh escaped) ; "bring it to me
now, and I will give you the letters." Then,
turning again to the scrawled half -sheet of
paper in her hand,. as the maid departed on
her errand, "What is thie about Beech
Farm?" she murmured.
Wet, worried, and hungry, Tom had yet
contrived to remember Beeoh Farm when
scribbling his hasty directions, before ascend-
ing the spiral staircase to Mrs. Bowdler's
upper chamber; and Ida now received in-
itructions to open all letters before forward.
'ng any, and extrect from the rest a missive,
hould such there be, from the prospective
tenant. This was to be sent over to Mr.
Trusty, with news �f his departure, and
authority to act as he and his master had
agreed upon in their laat conversation on the
subject. `
At another time, Ida, who was well up in
such affairs, would have been busy and im-
portant over her part of the business : and
even as it was, she lost no time in searching
for the document in question, am are that
the farm was one of the beat on the estate,
and that to secure a good tenant, in place of
a worthless fellow whom Tom had been
dri fen te turu mit, wee of the utmostcon-
sequence. ,
There Were three or four letters for Tom,
all of which might mean anything, or noth-
ing ; none were addressed by familiar hands,
and none bore any device upon the envelope.
Crushing down the dull ache which, in de-
spite of other thoughts, was still low in her
heart, Ida began diligently to open letter
after letter. The first three were of no in-
terest; a bill for oats and hay, another for
saddlery, and a request to join a country -
town club which had lately been started.
There were now only two more to be glanced
at. "This is it," said Ida, jumping to a
conclusion, as she unfolded a blue sheet of
paper. "A bad hand -and from London -
1 -know the man was to be in London-
(reading)-' Dear Torn,' -oh? oh, not the
tenant ?-(reading)--- i Yours very truly, Al-
fred Jessop.' Colonel Jesaop ?' exclaimed
Ida, in surprise, "Colonel Jessop ? Who
next? One would have thought we had had
enough already to -day without that 'little
beast of a Jessop ' (quoting Tom) putting in
his oar. _. What does he want? Something
disagreeable, I'll answer for it. Disagree.

able' alwaye come together. What is all
this Palaver also* ?" for Jeisop, unlikethe
more direct Lady Sophia, did not get to his
point till the second page. When, however,
Ida had skimmed the preliminaries, and
flashed her eye, as it were, round the cor-
ner, there was the name again which had al-
ready sent a ,knife to her heart.
For a moment her head seemed to go
round. She caught her breath, and shut her
eyes. Should she read on, or not?
Perhaps I ought not," murmured the
poor girl to herself. "But then 1 really
must, I must know; I am the person who
is meant to know. If it is to do any good
-these people's telling Tom -I must hear
what they have to say ; and that Tom is
gone, and -and 15 18 so much to me "-with
a little sob-" I must not mind, even if he
is angry. I have got to know what this -
this talebarer has to tell," and with the
words she deliberately unfolded the sheet,
and read every word written on it.
*
" No, I shall not go down to dinner," said
Miss Barnet, two hours afterwards "80 it
is no use my dressing, Flowers," the maid
having come to announce that the dressing -
gong had sounded. "Will you kindly go
to Mrs. Lytton, and tell her that Mr. Tom's
being called away so suddenly, and -and all,
has so upset erie that -that I an really quite
unable to leave my room? 1 ern very sorry,
but I can't."
"Dear me, Mies Ida, not go descvn at alt?
And here's this beautiful new dress all ready
for you, and me slaving myself to death ever
since breakfast to set it finished in time! Do
look, • now -it's just lovely. Well, now,
would you not go down to the_drawing-room.
after dinner?" perceiving that the charms
of pink satin and chiffons only elicited a
movement of irritation. "You might just
let me come in and do your hair, and send
3 ou down as soon as they get to the sweets
in the dinning -room. You could slip
down------"
"1 tell you, Flowers' I can't slip down ; I
can't, and I won't. Iam not able. I am
too wretched," throwing herself over on the
cushions of the roomy couch which stood by
the 'side of her bedroom fire. "You forget
I had a bad fall this morning," continued
Ida, recollectingthe need for keeping up
appearances. "-These things often tell most
afterwards -oh, don't bother me," with a
sudden accession of fretful impatienee ; "do
go away, like a good Flowers, and leave me
in peace. Oh, don't light the candles," as
the maid, with the tactlessness of her class,
was strioking a match and advancing to the
toilet table. "Do let the candles alone,'
moaned poor Ida, "my head aches so, I
-can't have candles or -or anything. The
fire will do well enough."
" Just let me put en a coal or two, Miss
Ida. The'fire will be black out if you won't
let me touch it. I'll, make no noise; and
the room does look so dreary ;" glancing
round. "11 your aunt should come up---"
"She is not to come up. I sent her word
before that I wanted to be quite, and she
quite understood. Stop, though," as Flow-
ers was reluctantly making for the door.
" Stop ; if it gets round to my aunt that I
am too ill to go down to dinner,I daresay
she may want to see me -so this is what you
must do, Flowers. Now listen; and don't
make a mess of it, there's a goodFlowers-
wait till they're all in the drawing -room ex-
pecting me; till the second gong has sound-
ed, and dinner been announced ; and then
just follow Richards in, and go up to aunt,
Bess, and say to her that I don't feel up to
coming down; that I have a dreadful head-
ache, but that it May pass off if I am left
quiet, and that, I particularly hope they
will all go to dinner and not trouble about
me. Mind it is aunt Bess -Mrs. Lytton
-you speak to; and ask her from me to be
good enough to take the head of the table."
"But what a strange table it will be,"
muttered the speaker to herself, the maid
having departed, "with neither Tom nor
me at it 1 If only Jenny or Louie had been
old enough! Jenny almost might go in, as
it is She would be better than nobody.
It would be better to have her, than to have
a number of visitors all sitting down to.
without a single one of the family
present ! Oh, if Tom and I had ever dream-
ed of this 1 It is worse than a shooting
party -far, far worse.. At least, everything
was proper, then, but now it seems as if
neither of us cared whether it was proper
or not. Neither we do. I don't and Tom
won't, when he hears. Those horrid, slan-
derous, backbiting people, how pleased they
are to have this to tell ! I know bow they
would look. He like a malicious ape, and
she like a -camel -she has just the face of
an odious camel. They say carriela can sneer.
I suppose it is true about Maurice Stafford
" throwing herself into a fresh atti-
tude. "It is true, I suppose."
A tap at the door.
"Bah ! that tiresome woman ! " ejacul-
ated Ida, wild with wrath; she thought
Flowers had brought this upon her. But it
was not aunt Bess who entered ; it was only
poor little Jenny in a great state of mind.
Hadn't Ida gone back to the boudoir?
Hadn't she been out of her room at alt?
Not at all ? Didn't she know that Maurice
-coming close to the sofa-Meeriee wanted
to see her, and that he was
"Not in the boudoir?" said Ida, hastily.
"No; oh, no." Jenny shook her head
with great decision. "Oh, no ; Maurice
had said he would not go up againtill he
was sent for • he was dreadfully afraid he
had had no for;
to go there betere,", the
little girl added of her self, "but now he
was in the gun -room, rubbing his gun aud
things, making believe to be busy; only he
was not really busy, beceuse he was just
waiting to see if Ida would seed for him."
" Nonsensel How can I send for him?"
said Ida, aberplY..
"Why,by me," responded her little sister,
in all good faith. "You'll see. If you just
go in there, I'll run down to the gun-
room---"
" You'll do nothing of the kind. I never
heard of Such a thing."
Jenny's blue orbs opened; this was very
incomprehensive; a few hours before and
she had been entrusted with a most amicable
response to the Same request ; and now?
"1 am feeling too unwell to see any
visitors," observed Ida, after a momentary
pause. "That is what you must say if any-
one asks you about me; but unless you are
asked, don't 853 anything. Mind, Jenny,
don't say anything unless your are asked,"
emphatically. "And don't go Ira& to the
gun -room, either. I can't have this mes-
sage -carrying geing on in a house like ours.
It is not at ell the right thing --not at all."
"Why, You allowed me to tell him--"
"That was different; never mind why.
You are only a little girl, and can't under-
stand !-(Jenny smiled scornfully. She not
.underatand 1) -, but at any rate, I am not
going to do it again," -continued, Ida, to
whom it was something of a relief to give
vent to all this. "I wonder thatl Maurice
-that Mr. Stafford should ask. it., He -he
ought not to-te have presumed -o--"
"Oh, Ida!"
"'Oh, Ida!' What can yoe a child,
know about it? You say'Oh, i Ida!' to
everything. Mr. Stafford has got round
you with sweets and snow -rides--"
"He has not got round ineany more than
everyone else," indignantly retorted Jenny.
"Everyone says the same of Maurice,. aunt
Bess and the girls, and Harry and
Chariie—"
" Phol! Harry and Charlie 1"
"Even that old Lady Sophia, and those
Vernon creatnres--"
"And even Colonel Jessop, and General
Thistleblow," cried Ida, mockingly. "It
only needs general Thistleblow to complete
the present quartette' " scoffed she. "Lady
Sophia, and Sir Robert, and--"
"What are you muttering there ?" de-
manded Jenny, suspiciously.

Marriag Schools.
-
In Germany they ave started a new idea
-marriage schools. I was curious to know
the working out of Jthe scheme '• it struck
me as comical, and o I only made inquiries.
"Ah ! you will lau h ; you will point the
finger of scorn 1" murmured a German
friend. I tried to look grave. "1 should
very ruuch like to lear all about it," I re-
plied. "So far," told my friend, "the un-
dertaking has met vith undoubted success.
No girl is admitted to the "marriage school"
unless she has finis ed her ordinary educa-
tion. Her principal instruction is in house-
keeping, although lahe keeps up more or less
the cultivetion of her' mind. At a school
where I have visited about twenty girls are
admitted. Each 1as her own bedroom. Ab -
the opening of th school, after term, the
mistress singles put four girl, and tells
them she expects them to take entire charge
of the house. Two servants, housemaid,
and cook, are kept only to do the very

rough work. The four girls, then, are ex-
peeted to riee withthe lark, and see that
the servants get through their duties.
Breakfast they prepare with their own
hands. After breakfast they go the rounds,
and see that every room is perfectly neat.
Dinner (under the mistress' tuition) they
must cook themselves. Later on they pre-
pare supper, tidy up the 'kitchen, and go
all over the house to see that every door is
properly closed. The girls off duty make
and mend their own and their companions'
clothes. The following week another quar-
ter of girls is chosen. Walks and bicycling
in the country enter into the day's pro-
gramme. Very frequently guests are in-
vited to dine, and the girls in turn play at
being hostess. They, carve the joints, set
the ball ofmonvereation rolling,and so forth.
Dances and musical parties, too, are given
in,the evening. Again the girls act as host -
eases, and arrange the whole entertainment.
Officers and professional men attend the
soirees, and are charmed at what they see
and bear." My friend stopped to take

Fastest Blind Typewriter.
Boston claims the fastest blindfolded
typewriter. She is Miss May E. Carring-
ton. A few days ago she wrote from dicta-
tion 108 words of unfamiliar matter, and
144 words of familiar matter. That, it is
claimed, is the record for blindfolded writ-
ing. The trial was made before a tow
friends in the business office of the firm by
whom Miss Carrington is employed as secre-
tary and nook -keeper.
When she had finished it was found that
she had not averaged one mistake in three
minutes' writing. The method of touch
writing used by Miss Carrington is become
ing more and more widely used, and many
unlettered keyboards are ordered from the
manufacturers. In order to use such a
machine one has to learn its keyboard as he
would that of a piano, and finger exercises
play an important part in practice.
To master touch writing does not take as
long as would be imagined, three or four
months being about all that is required.
But to acquire the speed Miss Carrington
possesses is a different thing. Most "touch
typewriters" reach a speed of only 50 or 60
words a minute, as against her 144. The
use of the typewriter is now taught in insti-
tutiens for the education of the blind. -

A NAME TO CONJURE BY
Dood's Kidney Pills Cured T
Johnston of' Diabetes.
• OSBORNE, Feb. 145h. -Throughout the
western peninsula of Ontario the name of
eDodd's Kidney Pills is a name to conjure
by. The people with the very best 'of rea-
son, have pinned their faith to this grand
medicine, and it is used in every house.
The result of this is that kidney diseases,
such as Diabetes, Bright's disease, etc., are
rapidly disappearing from this district.
Mr. Thomas Johnston, of Osborne, is the
latest cure. He suffered all the agonies of
Diabetes for six years, his physicians failing
to help him and all medicine failing to give
him relief.
Finally he began to use Dodd's Kidney
Pills. His cure began at once. He has
used four boxes and is now strong, healthy
and robust.

Her Arrogance.
HeleneFitzhugh on her nineteenth birthday
became a member of the church to which
her mother belonged. When the service
was over, Mrs. Fitzhugh lingered at the
church door. Her heart was full, and she
longed to touch her child's hand, and feel
that henceforth they would walk together
under God's eye in company; but Helen
escaped from her, and went home through
the fields alone. She wanted, she said, to
give part Of the day to self-examination.
The sermon had been on the subject of
"The sin which does so easily beset us."
"1 wonder what mine ie ?" thought Helen,
as she walked hoine.
Mrs. Fitzhugh was a widow who had
brought up her four children on somewhat
stringent means. Helen had just returned
from boarding -school, and had already con-
cluded tint it was her duty to reform the
habits of her somewhat disorderly home.
She was neat, composed, and orderly in
her dress, conversation and thoughts. She
never was angry. She was sure that i01 her
opinions were correct. In church she listened
to the hymns and the eermon with pleasure,
which pleasure she mistook- for religious
devotion.
On Monday morning following the Sab-
bath she began, therefore, her work of re-
f.)r‘In' M. other," she said, "let us have done
with these American meat breakfasts. I
approve of the French plan: a roll and a
cup of coffee in the morning and a heavy
meal at eleven."
"That might suit you, Nell," said Joe,
who worked on the -farm. "It would not
do for me, who often plow a field before you
are out of bed."
Helen reiterated her opinion dogmatically.
Joe replied, and at last left the table in
anger.
"He ' should control his temper," said
Helen, calmly. "15 is easy to see his be-
setting sin."
"1 euppose," said Jem, who was a pert
schoolboy, "you see all of our besetting sins
quite Plainly ?"
"15 is easy to see that yours is a want of
truthfulness," replied his sister, coolly.
"0 Helen !" exclaimed her mother.
Jem's face grew firey with rage.
"1 heard him tell Lucy a story last night,
which I am sure was more than half a lie,"
said Helen. "1 intended to reprove him
for it."
A silence fell upon the group arolind the
table. James in a moment, laid down his
fork and without a word, but with fury in
his heart, went out.
The oldest son, Walter, who was at home
from college on vacation, shook his head
mea,ningly.
"You certainly do not lack courage to
fight sin, Helen. But as for discretion-"
Helen looked at him steadily. His face
was flushed, an'd his eyes dull. "Do you
ght sin with courage," she said, "or die-
retion ? I am afraid not, Walter. Oh, for
frame! For shame! I did not expect to find

ath. Helen regarded him with cool con-
empt, and then went calmly to her own
oom.
Her brother looked after her with a bitter
augh. "If that is Christianity, I will have
one of it !" he said, as he went out slams
ing the dom. after him.
His -mother stood stunned and almost
espairing. She knew well Joe's fierce tem-
er and Jem's habit of untruthfulness, and
Waiter's love of liquor. She had talked to
