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. Easy to take as candy?one to
three a dose. Much imitated but nevet
equaled

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.

And just then Mrs. Am ssbury discovered

she opened the curtains. "How long
have you been here?"
"Oh. a half hour." Trtesle considered.
"Haven't we. 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

The Ermt |b.
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.
In this country the iHetty white fur
made up with the hlr.ck tips of the
tails placed at regular Intervals Is very
popular.?Charles Livingston Bull in
