I akin; Good. Then Is no way of making toting friends like "Making Good;" and Doctor Pteroe's medicines well exemplify this, and their friends, after more than two -decades of popularity, are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" and they have not made drunkards. A good, honest, square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce's Ooldcn Medical Discovery. It still enjoys an Immense sale, while most of the prepara uons mat nave come into prominence in the earlier period of Its popularity have "gone bv the board "and are never more heard of. There mast be some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to be found in its superior merits. When once given a fair trial for weak stomach, or for liver and blood affections, its superior caratlve qualities are soon manifest; hence it has survived and grown in popular favor, while scores of less meritorious articles have suddenly flashed into favor for a brief period ana then been as soon forgotten. For a torpid liver with its attendant Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, perhaps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite, witn distress after eating, nervousness and ddbllity, nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper ? no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug, therefore don't accept a substitute that the dealer may possibly make a little bigger profit Insist on your right to have what you call for. Don't buv Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It is only advised for woman's special ailments. It makes weak women strong and Sick women well. Less advertised than some preparations sold for like purposes, its sterling curative virtues still maintain its position in the front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an invigorating tonic and strengthening nervine it is unequaled. It won't satisfy those who want" booze," for there is not a drop of alcohol in it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the original Little Liver Pills, although the first pill of their kind in the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards in favor.

The four wothen were drinking tea. jfomewhere out In the October afternoon were four men who made up the friendly octet, but the women, on ac count of the coolness of the day and the charm of the big fireplace, had elected to stay away from the links. Three of the women were not young, although the signs of age bad been modified by careful glooming and diligent massage. Mrs. Amesbury even looked young with her slender figure, her shining hair and her grace of ges tare and of carriage. 1 But Tressie Stuart was young, and therein lay the difference tnat maae lire. Amesbury uneasy. One might give the lie ta age by attention to complexion and costume, but there was u quality in Tressle's laugh, a light in her eyes, a buoyancy of spirit, that separated her from the other women and cast the blight of contrast upon their beauty. "Tressie." Mrs. Amesbury said, "stop roaming around the room. You make me nervous." "Oh. do I?' Tressle's apology was immediate. "It's something in the air, I think. These fall days make me feel like a young colt I want to be out of doors, and here we are drinking tea by the fire, like a lot of old tabby cats." "We are a lot of old tabby cats," lliss Angela Amesbury agreed cheerfully. Unlike her sister-in-law. she did not aspire to youthfulness. Having steered herself safely out of a somewhat emotional girlhood into a calm old maidism. she was prepared to claim all middle aged privileges, and tea drinking at the Country club was au indulgence that appealed to her comfortable soul. "You are the only kitten iu the crowd. Tressie." she went on. "Run ou out and meet the men. They must be coming in by this time." "Angela." Mrs. Amesbury reproved her. "Tressie can't go without a chaperon." "Why uotV" Angela asked bluntly. "Two of the men are her uncles, the third is your husband, and she has known Junior Mason since she was a baby." "Oh, well"?Mrs. Amesbury shrugged her shoulders?"you know we don't think alike on such matters." "No. thank goodness." said Miss Angela. And then the hitherto silent Aunt Georgia Stuart, who was otlicially Tressie's chaperon, interposed, 'Tressie always does as she pleases, Mrs. Amesbury." And Mrs. Amesbury, with another shrug of her shoulders, gave up the argument and poured herself a second cup of tea. And so it happened that as Juniot Mason came up the elm walk toward the Country club, with the dull orange of the sunset behind him, he saw hurrying to meet him Tressie Stuart In scarlet coat and stiff brimmed hat "I should have died if I had stayed In there another minute," she told him "Can't we walk somewhere befor*. dark comes? This air is like wine." ....... "It's awfully muddy," be stated dubiously, "In this path under the trees. The other men are coming areond by the road, but this was the shorter way. and I wanted to get a few minutes with you before, the whole crowd began to piffle paffle." "Don't be slangy," Treesle admonished. "Well, you wouldn't call their small talk conversation, would you? It's piffle paffle, and Mrs. Amesbury is the worst of the lot" "I am ashamed of you," Tressle scolded, "to criticise your elders:" "Mrs. Amesbury wouldn't thank you for calling her anybody's elder. She considers herself the leading juvenile of the Country club. That's why she's jealous of you." Tressle stared at him. "Junior." she said severely, "1 didn't know you could be so critical of a woman." He had the grace to look uncomfort hlo ' "She's made me so unhappy about you, Tressle." he blurted out at length. "About me?" "Yes, when you were away all sum' mer and dldu't write to me once." Tressle's eyes were on the sunset "No. 1 didn't write," she said after a pause. 1 "Why not?" "Mrs. Amesbury said?that there was another girl. Junior." "What?" "Yes. She said you were paying devoted attention to a little Kentucky singer." "Oh!" Junior flung up his head. "And she told me you were going to marry old General Barnes." "Who told you?" Tressle demanded. "Mrs. Amesbury." "Well, of all things!" Tressle's cheeks were flaming. "And you believed her, Junior?" "Well, you believed about the Kentucky girl." For a moment accusing brown eyes met accusing blue ones, and then they both laughed, the joyous laugh of youth that has come into Its own again. "She Is good at?fiction," Tressle summed up. "She ought to be punished. Junior." "Oh. let her go," Junior asserted, "and we will go for a walk, Tressle. and I will tell you all the things I have wanted to write and didn't dare." But she would not go. "It Is getting too dark," she said, "and even if I have known yon all my j, life, Junior, we must have some regard . for convpntlons." "Then let as slip In through the French windows and sit In the curtained alcove. They won't see us come In, and we can talk until dinner time." The alcove was opposite the fireplace and gave a full view of the three women at the low wicker tea table. Mrs. Amesbury was prattling gnyly. "You see, dear Junior's money is a great temptation to the girls. Now. even Tressle"? Tressie in concealment gasped, and there was wrath in her eyes. "Don't mind her," Junior whispered. "I know you love me for myself." Tressie whirled around on him. "Who told you that I cared?" she demanded. "You are taking a great deal for granted. Junior." "Please can't I take it for granted?" he urged. "I am going to propose to you right now. Tressie. or Mrs. Ames bury will never give me another chance." They came out of their dream of happiness some time later to bear Angela protesting. "But you wouldn't tie such beautiful girlishness as Tressie's to that wornout old General Barnes?' "He is very rich." Mrs. Amesbury evaded. "I think Tressie will marry Junior Mason," Aunt Georgia said placidly f "They are great friends." Mrs. Amesbury shook her head pityi inglJ"Junior likes so many girls. Now. there was that little girl from Kentucky"? Behind the curtains Junior growled "Pifile paffle." but Tressie put her fin gers over bis lips, and be kissed the lingers and smiled at ber. "Junior Mason is in love with Tressie." Miss Angela stated, "and you know it. Marion. You bad better let I hint marry her. and then she will be ! out of the running." . j Mrs. Aniesbury stared at ber sistcrI in-law haughtily.. "I don't know what you uiean, Angela." she said. "Yes, you do." Miss Angela did not uiinee words. "You know you bad always been the belle of the Country club until Tressie Stuart came, and you don't like to abdicate to youth and beauty." Mrs. Amesbury straightened up in her chair and glared at the sear Miss Angela. "Y'ou are insufferable. Augeia," she began, and then, as the three missing . men appeared in the doorway, she I swept toward them. "We were just , talking." she misstated sweetly, "of what we should have ror uinuer. \jya! ters anil canvasbacks, ilon't you think, with orange salad and anything else you may suggest?" Behind the curtains Tressie and Jun\ ior were arguing. "I am going to announce it at once," Junior insisted. 1 ?

Junto'?" "Long enough for me, to propose to Tressle." Junior said, ntaklng the astounding statement calmly. "And she has said Tes,'Junior went on. "1 know yoo will congratulate us. Mrs. Amesbury.' And then with a last fling Mrs. Amesbury gave It up. i "My dear," she said titlngly as she kissed the reluctant Tressle, "who would have dreamed tb|t it was pcor little you that Junior really'caied for?"

Across the stream a little above the bank a beautiful whitl creature was running rapidly aboi^ among the stones. It would often vanish for a time, then come into 'view again at some distance from tthe bole Into which It had disappeared. Ever on the move, peering and sniffing here, there and everywhere, it would have been almost Invisible on the snow in its coat of pure white were it not for the jet black tip on Its tall and the dashing deep brown ejes and Inquisitive nose. This graceful, active little creature was the ermine, with whose white fur we are all familiar and which in many countries Is used for the royal robes of kings and queens to be worn at coronations aud on other very special occa sions. It is also used in some countries for the trimming of the c loaks of judges which they wear when sitting in court, and there is a saying that when a man is made a judge he "dons the ermine." In the olden days the fur of the ermine was symbolic o' purity.
