I SUFFERED TWENTY-OWE YEARS
FHULLY FOUND RELIEF
Having suffered for twenty-one years
with a pain In my side, I finally have
found relief In Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot
The physicians called It "Mother's
Pain" and injections of morphine
were .my cn'.y relief for. short periods
of tlme^ I became so sick that I bad
to undergo a surgical operation in New
Orleans, which benefited me for two
year*. When the same pain came back
one day I was so sick that I gave up
hopes of living. A friend advised me
to try your Swamp-Root and I at once
commenced using It The first bottle
dkl me so much good that 1 purchased
two more bottles. I am now on my
second bottle and am feeling like a
nOw woman. I passed a gravel stone
as large as a big red bean and several
siball ones. I have not had the least
feeling of pain since taking your
Swamp-Root and I feel It my duty to
recommend this great medicine to al!
suffering humanity. Gratefully yours,

came a voice from the moon- <
light *
Blair scrutinized the clump of
bushes. He had supposed the white
thing flitting about there to be a slim I
beam from the moon. 1
"But the gardeners never come j
down here and uncle is away, so it is
all right" The voice was nearer to i
Blair than before. 1
He shaded his eyes and looked more i
closely. A low ripple of laughter eo- j
com pan led his search. i
"Here I am." She had parted the
bushes and still Blair felt that a i
wedge of moonbeam had squeezed ]
uown through tho trees. He stared <
at her with his hand shading his eyes, i
"I can't see whether or not I like
your eyes," she said half petulantly. j
Blair obediently dropped bis hand j
and turned toward the light that
came from the small door of his caravan.
The dreamer's look was In his ;
eyes and the dreamer's whimsical ]
smile on bis lips. I
Molly looked at him with grave ]
eyes for a moment "What are you ]
doing here?" sb.e asked, edging nearer
to him.
* Looking for fairies?like you," he \
said in the tone of one speaking to a
child.
"I am eighteen." She resented his \
tone. "And then what do you dOT
"I weave them into fairy tales." "I
suppose that you mean you are a ,
writer and that your name Is in all <

"About that," he smiled.
"Couldn't 1 Just have one peep into j
your caravan?" she asked. "It looks ]
so' cozy." 1
"It is cozy." He was amused at
her quaint curiosity. "I will have ,
to lift you up on the step."
"Isn't it darling!" She turned j
toward him. "I didn't know gypsies <
bad such exquisite?" I
"But I am not a gypsyy," put in j
Blair, and in the darkness a strange
blttorness crept into his eyes. "If I \
were I would shut that door with ,

"Oh, wouldn't that be loveiy!" She |
slapped her hands joyously. "But ,
poor uncle would never get over It" ,
"He has managed to survive other (

"Well?beautiful then." He looked
deep into his eyes.
She returned the look wondesingly.
"Oh, oh?1 feel such a funny little

bands ever her breast; and stood gazing
at him.
Blair turned swiftly away from the
Innocent awakening in her eyes.
"Perhaps you had better comodown c

was a trifle husky. "Or 1 will be *

(

dated Literary ^tcm.)
Blair turned swiftly from the flare
ot the lamp. "Come!" he said, and
his voice held a note of command.
With a ltttle hurt look In her eyes
Molly put out her hands. For a
breatiling spell the universe seemed
bung th midair. Molly tore herself
free then and fled In the darkness.
Blair watched her go, a moonbeam
darting from path to path and finally
Into tbe old rose garden and up me
great stone steps between tbe guarding
lions and out of his sight through
the French windows.
For & long moment he sat staring ?
at the windows through which she
bad gone. Flaally he arose, untethered
his horses, hitched them to the
chravan and drove off into the night
"She is too wonderful," his lips repeated.
"1 could not withstand her
long."
Three years came and went before
Molly Ashwell and tbe Vagabond
Dreamer met, three years In which
ber eyes bad worn a pecular, brooding
look?a look which John Gray
bad tried In vain to fathom or to
lighten.
"You are not so happy looking
yourself," she had chlded him on one
occasion.
He had grown a shade paler.
"I have cause?a terrible cause for
being miserable?but 1 deserve It,"
was all be bad said.
She glanced quickly at him now as
they sat in the theater. The curtain
went up on a new play. The scene
was an Interior.
"It Is almost exactly like our drawing
room!" exclaimed Molly breathlessly
and waited for confirmation of
ber words.
John Gray neither answered nor
seemed conscious of ber presence.
As the play progressed Molly felt
the peculiar tension that held John
3ray. After a spasmodic clutch of
tbe hands on tbe chair arms he remained
as one turned to stone.
Tbe play was the old, old story of
the son who had frequented tbe stage
loots and had been turned away from
borne by an Irate parent. In this case
the son had lived In the theatrical
atmosphere merely as a stepping
stone. He had run away from home
to go on the stage that he might gain
Intimate knowledge of stagecraft.
Ibe strong plot woven In this fabric
was neither here nor there except
that at the close of the last act the
author was called forth.
He came from the wings.
"My son!"
John Gray sprang to bis feet and
held out a pair of shaking arms toward
the man on the stage.
"My Vagabond Dreamer!" came a
girl's voice through the hush that
followed the meeting of father and
son.
Regardless of the excited audience,
the two men met and the older man
clasped the other in bis arms as if
he was still a very small boy.
A suspended breath held the audience.
Finally the quiet tones of the vagabond
went out to answer that unasked
question.
"My father and I have beea long
estranged?I am too happy to say
nore, except that I thank you for reviving
my play so kindly."
During the thunder of applause
bat followed a slim little figure
illpped quickly out of the theater and
nto the great limousine that crept
tp to the curb at her call.
Her heart was beating painfully in
lull, miserable beats.
"Nobody loves me," she wept softly
nto the kindly cushions.
She sat huddled and broken, neither
;eelng nor hearing the excited crowd
hat came forth from the theater.
It seemed ages before the two men,
irm in arm appeared. Molly dried
ler eyes hastily and peered out as
hey approached.
The younger man glanced at the
:ar. Then Molly saw his hand go up

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS
"My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaking-out on his
cheeks, from which a watery substance
oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulders and breast broke out
also, and in a few days became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pronounced
the disease eczema. The litfaltniw

about three months. By the end of
that time, he seemed no better. I became
discouraged. I dropped the doctor's
treatment, and commenced the
use of Cutlcura Soap and Ointment,
and In a few dayti noticed a marked
change. The eruption on bis cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly better.
When he was about seven months
old. all trace of the eczema was gone.
"During his teething period, his
head r.nd face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Chtlcura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
I dropped the doctor's treatment. I
used the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture of health.
His complexion was soft and beautiful.
and his head a mass of silky curls.
I had been afraid that he would never
be well, and I feel that I owe a great
deal to the Cutlcura Remedies."

TIME?Nehemiah heard the bad news
'rom Jerusalem early In December, B. C.

For four months he prayed, thought
ind waited.
The following April (444) he obtained
jermlssion to go to Jerusalem.
The Journey occupied four months and

When the right time came, and Neiemlah'8
heart waa burning with sor ow
and desire, he found "opportunll?o
i>nno??l?H In annoranf hindrances "
It was dangerous to show sorrow in
he presence of the king. Even a modsrn
autocrat like Louis XIV. expected
sverybody's face to shine if he did but
ippear, and how much more an Artax>rxes?
What, wear a sorrowful face
when he was presiding over Joy and
fayety, gilding them with his pres;nce?
If he had ordered this melan:holy
visage away to prison or death,
t would have been Justified by preceJent.
A gloomy face might mean disaffection
against the king. The light
)f his favor ought to be enough to
Irlve all sadness away.
Nehemiah had hitherto been able
:o keep a smiling face when before
he king; but one day at a superb
banquet, when the queen was dinng
with her husband, amid gold plate,
jorgeous silk dresses of every hue,
narble pillars, fountains, music, lights,
sultanas, courtiers resplendent as the
sun. and all worshiping their sun Ar:axerxes,
smiling when he smiled, his
sorrow shone through his face In
spite of himself so that the king noticed
it and said;
"Why Is thy countenance sad, seeng
thou art not sick? this is nothing
flse but sorrow of heart." Then he
was very sore afraid, and said unto the
ting, "Let the king live for ever: why
should not my countenance be sad,
when the city, the place of my facers'
sepulchres, lieth waste, and the
fates thereof are consumed of fire?
[f it please the king, and if thy servsnt
have found favor in thy sight, that
ihou wouldest send me unto Judah,
into the city of my fathers' sepulchres,
lhat I may build It."

request, made him the Tirshatha, or
governor of Judea, "royal, agent" or
'plenipotentiary," with full powers.
He traveled to Judea In state, with a
nllitary guard of cavalry, and with letters
to the rulers o fthe neighboring
provinces to give him whatever he
seeded for his work.
Nehemlah was very wise. He lay
juiet for three days, doing nothing, but
earning everything. He showed no
rredentials, he proposed no plans, he
old no one what he hoped to do. His ,
first business was to learn the whole '
dtuatlon, the feelings of the people,
who would oppose, and who would
telp, how able the people were, what
obstacles must be overcome.
Nehemlah met the rulers, nobles,
priests and people, and told them of
bis purpose in coming, how he had
learned of their need, how he had
wept and fasted and prayed, and how
Sod had heard bis prayer and caused ;
the great emperor to favor his plans, !
give him permission to come, and authority,
with orders for the surrounding
rulers to give the needed help. He
told them of his midnight investigations.
I
The business side of religion should j
be done as Nehemlah did it In the
most skillful and Ideal business man- 1
rier. Nehemlah had a layman's good
sense in religion. Walls were necessary
to the safety of the city. They
were also necessary to true religion.
The division or labor, the nohle competition,
the Interest in their work that
kept them from taking time to even
put off their clothes, the giving each
tils own work, and over against hia
own house, the union of watching and
praying and working, the working to- ;
;ether of old and young, rich and poor,
form a real master-strcJfce of genius."
The wall was parceled out among 44
working parties. It was like the ?e- I
building of the walls of Athens after j
the invasion of Xerxes, like the build- :
ing of the walls of Edinburgh after the j
oattle of Flodden. This plan made each |
one more earnest and faithful as he
saw what others were doing. It animated
the work with a noble emulation,
and a personal pride. 'See how
fast my work gees on! See how well
my piece is done! Now, my sons, gird
up your tunic, or Rephalah the Bon
pf Hur will get ahead of us. True
emulat'on is to do better than we
have done; to seek, not to get beyond
others, but to rise to the best possible
for us; and to be inspired to this
by seeing what others have done.
Resides the hostility of the Samartans
the Jews themselves were becoming
worn out with the fatigue of such
strenuous work. * j
No good goes on to success wunout >
meeting obstacles. Evil does not fall
without a battle. It throws slander,
rldl.culc, treachery, conspiracies, Influence,
discouragements, every possible
hindrance, In the way of reform. Even
some of the Jews were arrayed against
their brethren. They planned to take
Nehemiah and the city by surprise.
Rlay the workers, and thus put a stop
to the work, but the answer was watching
and prayer.
The Wandering Jew.
After centuries of wandering In the
wilderness of fanaticism the Jew had
been admitted to what seemed to be
a promised land of equal opportunity,
of civic and social fellowship; he felt,
whether articulately, or Inarticulately
that In the Palestine of the modern
world the old ark would have to dwell
In a new temple, that the tabernacle
of the desert would prove unfit for his
new Jerusalem.?Rabbi Max Heler,
Hebrew, New Orleans.

Many a man is not lifting a finger
today because he expects to move a
mountain tomorrow.
It is hard for a class of men to reBpect
themselves who are denied respect
by all around them.
The devil is not much concerned
about what we are doing when all
men speak well of ua.
