The Farmer’s Wife
li very careful about her churo. She
•ealds it thoroughly after using, and give*
It a sun bath to sweeten It, isho knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
a churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
than that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into It?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the ban taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
It does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn—absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
•ores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feci depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
•r bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider-
kble number of them, indicate that you are
■uffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
derangements.

W ELL, here I am,” announced
a tall, slender youth, entering
the deserted salon a few miu-
utes later with Nish at his
side. “I’m here at ray country’s call,
all right, but my confounded country
doesn’t seem to be on hand to meet
me.”
His graceful walk was not wholly
steady, and there was a flush on the
handsome young face. The late ar
rival w’as Prince Danilo of Marsovia,
attache of the Marsovian legation at
Paris. As a diplomat he had scarcely
scored a success, for he had a delight
fully normal aversion to work and a
simple, unfailing joy in the amuse
ments of Maxim’s and his clubs.
“I’ll hunt up his excellency at ouce,"
Then Natalie hurried In with De
Jolidon. Both looked anxious.
“How careless of me!” the ambas
sador’s wife was exclaiming. “Where
can I have dropped the miserable fan?
If my husband should pick it up and
find on it those words you were foolish
enough to write— I wonder if I left
it in the niche on the stairs when we
were sitting there. Let’s go back and
see.”
They turned back, almost colliding
with Sonia, who was entering, Cas-
cada directly behind her.
“Oh. Mme. Sadowa,” asked Natalie,
“you haven’t seen anything of a white
Ivory fan? I’ve looked everywhere,
and”—
“No,” replied the widow; “but I’ll
look in this room if you haven’t made
a thorough search here already.”
Natalie, thanking her, hurried baf-k
with her cavalier to the stairway.
Sonia idly began her search, but Cas-
cada interrupted her.
“That can wait,” lie pleaded, “but I
cannot. Won’t you hear me?"
“Certainly.” assented Sonia cheerful
ly. “You are going to propose, aren’t
you?”
“Ah. you read my secret!"

THE LATE ARRIVAL WAS PRINCE DANILO.
Nish was assuring the prince. “Are-
are you quite in condition to see him,
if I may”—
“Oh, I’m ail right enough,” yawned
Danilo, “only I forgot to go to bed last
night. If I could reel off a few yards
of sleep”—
“Perhaps I could find you some place
to"-
‘**I’d prefer a desk, if you can And
one. I always sleep best at my desk.
But I supjHJse’’—
“There is a coach, sir, over in the
'•orner behind the palms. How would
that do? You could get a nice nap
there, and in a little while I’d find his
excellency for you. But, sir, if 1 may
say so, why do you waate your life In
dissipation when you might marry and
settle down? Just think, now! Would
not a dear little wife and a home of
yoar own be better worth while than
all your dubs? I leave it to you If”—
‘Too leave it to me?” retorted Da
nilo. “Then I make It duba.”
“But, If I may say so”—
“You may not,” interrupted Danilo,
crossing to the couch and throwing
himself at full length among its cush
ions. “By by! Tf you’re waking, call
me early?' ”
He spread s handkerchief over bis
face and in a moment was sound
asleep, leaving Nish to tiptoe out in
Search of Popoff.
For a few minutes no sound was
audible In the empty salon aave tbs
distant swell and fall of dance mask*,
punctuated by the slnmbw prince’s

fall from his face.
“Danilo!” gasped the widow, starting
back.
At sound of his name the prince sat
up, dazed and blinking. His wander
ing eyes fell on the woman, and, with
an exclamation of utter amazement, he
stumbled to his feet and stood staring
“If required little cleverness. You
meu are all alike.”
“But no man ever before loved as I
love!” protested Cascada, bis voice un
consciously rising In his emotion. “You
are all the world to me. Until I met
you I never thought I could”—
“Ring off!" grumbled Danilo in his
sleep, vaguely bothered by the loud
voice.
Sonia started.
“Some one is here!" she whispered,
pointing toward the hidden couch.
“You are mistaken,” contradicted
Cascada, “and even if It were so I am
willing for all the world to know how
I”-
A long, blissful, sonorous snore from
the couch.
Soula laughed, her eyes alight with
amusement.
“Snoring and romance don’t go well
together, marquis,” she observed, “and
ss the snoring doesn’t seem likely to
stop the romance must You say you
are iu love with me, and I know you
are In love with my fortune. Good-
by.”
“You misjudge me cruelly!” Cascada
protested.
“Oh, no, I don’t! Men are all aUke.
Goodby.” x
Am the discomfited marquis made his
way wratbfully from the room Sonia
mischievously crept across to the
couch. There lay the man, sound
asleep, bla face etlll covered by the
handkerchief. Sonia touched his hair.
“Beat!” roared Danilo, giving his
head a shake that let the handkerchief
“That’s a comfort!” she said coldly,
drawing away and seeking to veil her
keen disappointment. “But,” she added
more softly, “why not say it if you
really want to?”
“I don’t want to!” he declared sulki-
ly ’

Incredulously at her.
“Sonia!”, ho exclaimed. “Sonia!”
Then, recovering himself, he bowed
stiffly and said:
“I bog your pardon, madume.”
“No; I beg yours,” she replied.
"Pray go on suoring.”
“You don’t remember me?” he asked,
surprised.
“Not in the very least,” she an
swered, moving away.
“Yet you called my name.”
“You were asleep then. That was
different.”
“And now I am awake—to the Joy of
seeing you again.”
“The Joy is all your own. Is It so
surprising to find ms in Paris? I am
here enjoying my wealth—and free
dom !’’
“I congratulate you on both, especial
ly the freedom.”
“Yes, freedom is one of your fads, I
believe,” remarked Sonia, “especially
freedom from marriage. Do you still
make a habit of avoiding marriage—
at the last moment?”
"Bonia, you are unjust. If it had
pested with me you should be my wife
mow, not another man’s widow.”
“If It rested with you?” she mim
icked. "Well, let the whole story rest
now. It’s forgotten.”
“By you, perhaps-never by me.”
“Oh, no! I remember it every now
and then for my own amusement. But
it Is hard to think of myself as the
tittle Marsovian peasant maid to whom
the dashing cavalry offleer, Prince
Danilo, was once engaged and whom
bis rich old uncle at the last moment
forbade to marry because of her pov
erty. How differently that same rich
old uncle would look on the match to
day! Twenty millions Is a pretty
dowry.”
“At least it seems you didn’t break
your heart over losing me,” sneered
Danilo.
“No; my plebeian heart stood the
shock excellently. I soon found con
solation—an elderly husband who lived
Just one week after the wedding and
left me all his wealth.”
“Yes; I heard how your father forced
you into the match. Next time you
can choose a husband to suit your
self."
“Why should I marry again? I am
rich, free. I have everything.”
“Including love?” he asked, his eyes
devouring her fragile beauty.
“I don’t believe in love,” scoffed
Sonia. “All men are alike. Dozens of
them are after my money and make
love to me because they can’t get it
without me.”
“Men are not all fortune hunters,”
he denied hotly. “I for one”—
“So they all say. Each says T lore
you!’ Each means my fortune.”
‘They do?” cried Danilo, in rage at
the strong insinuation. “Well, here’s
one that doesn’t. I for one shall never
say to you, T love you!* ”
A strange smile stole across her face.
8bs came very close to where he stood;
■o close that the faint perfume of her
hair was sweet in his nostrils; so close
that her breath was warm upon hia
Ups; so close that his bewildered soul
struggled in vain t? hid* from the glory
In her eyes. Her voice was a musical
whisper as she asked:
“You’ll never say to me T lore you?’ ”
There was sn Infinity of allurement
In the tempting words. Danilo, with a
mighty effort, shook off the spell sad
ahouted:
“Never! Never! Never!”
never Say to me, T love youT ”
Again she was perilously close to
him. Again his eyes tore themselves
free from the pleading seductiveness of
hers as he reiterated:
“I promise! I’m not going to make a
fool of myself or be made a fool of.”
“Is that a declaration of war?”
queried Sonia.
“No—of friendship. Do yon mean
to say if I asked you to be my wife
you would merely laugh at me?”
“Probably. All men are alike.”
‘They are not, and in time Pll prove
It to you.”
Before she could answer the ambas
sador and several of the guests came
into the room. At first opportunity
Popoff drew Danilo aside.
“Prince,” said he Impressively, “you
have now been attached to this lega-
j Oou nearly four months and”—
“Few of my attachments last so
long,” observed Danilo.
“You refer to your love affairs? I
have heard of them. They hav»
brought you to the brink of ruin. You
are almost penniless. Here is my plan
to save you, also to give you a chance
to save your country from bankruptcy
I want you to marry.”
‘To what?” cried Danilo.
“To marry—beautiful woman, my boy
—twenty miMions—Mme. Sonia Sadowa!
Hey?”
“Never!” returned Danilo. angrily, as
; he rose to end the interview.
‘Then a Frenchman will marry her,
and her fortune and our country will
be ruined.”
“I won’t marry her,” repeated Danilo,
“and she won’t marry me. But for my
country’s sake I’ll keep any French
man from marrying her.”
“But how?”
“You shall see!”
