BLUE m FINK Rim !
By MARY MONROE.
(Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.)
For 15 years Miss Martha and Miss
Mary had inhabited the big old house
on the hill, at the top of the village
street, and neither had spoken to the
other. And nobody in Grantford had
-ever learned the cause of their di?>
pute.
When the only brother died, leaving
& little girl, the sisters, then in the
second year of their quarrel, had each
'written, asking John's executor for the
privilege of caring for the orphaned
niece. So Maud had come to the
home, and from the first she had accustomed
herself to the peculiar state
of affairs in that family.
It was convenient to say what you
wished to say through the intermediary
of a third person, instead of having
to soliloquize.
It was when Maud Grant married
John Springer, the doctor, that the
wrench came. If Maud had only
known it, the old aunts were so chastened
by her approaching departure
that she could have made them
friends.
So Maud went to live in the new
house at the bottom of the hill, as Mrs.
John Springer; and, though she
climbed the hill often, the old ladies
were sadly disconsolate at her loss.
But after a while Maud did not
climb the hill so often; and then the
time came when she did not climb it
at all And the two old ladies began to
be very busy with knitting and crochet
work, and the balls of yarn rolled all
over the room as the busy old fingers
pulled* at them.
Miss Mary and Miss Martha sat opposite
each other in their chairs, their
fingers working and the needles clicking,
and, as they worked, they soliloquized:
"A pink ribbon on the little cap, because,
of course, it is going to be a
boy," said little Miss Martha.
"How glad I am it is going to be a
girl," said Miss Mary. "I love blue
ribbons. 1 think a baby girl with a
dainty little cap with a blue ribbon on
It is just the sweetest thing in the
world."
> "I can't abide blue," soliloquized
Miss Martha. "I am so glad that
Maud's baby is to be a boy. Chariest
Or Ferdinand? My uncle or my fa
ther? I think Ferdinand will sound
prettier, and then, it would be a sort
of tribute to papa."
"She must be called Dorothy, after
mamma," Miss Mary soliloquized.
They emphasized their sentiments
to callers, and it did not take at all
a long time for the news to reach Mrs.
John Springer, in the house at the
bottom of the hill.
"The dear old things!" she said to
Iter husband. "Oh, John, one of them
is going to be so dreadfully disappointed.
Whatever shall we do?"
"Well, my dear, they are bringing
their own troubles on their own
heads," laughing. "We must just
leave them to work out their own
problems. Anyway, we shall be happy,
whichever way it is, won't we dear?"
Maud smiled up at her husband,
and he put his arm round ber shoulders
and kissed her.
And now the day arrived when the
bine and the pink ribbon each reposed
upon its cap, along with little
Jackets and coats and all the paraphernalia
of babydom. And the little
maiden ladies waited. And the wait
proved longer than they had expected.
And by and by rumors began to spread
about the town, and then a carriage
drove swiftly up from the station, and
m famous specialist leaped out and
ran through the room in which the
two old ladies sat, waiting.
"Dear Lord, save her to me!"
prayed Miss Martha upon her knees.
thou anowest l want ner?wo want
her."
Little Miss Mary started, for this
was the first time in all those years
that her sister had betrayed the recognition
of her identity.
"Martha! Sister!" she said in n
trembling voice. And it was Martha's
torn to tremble and look afraid, for
she had not dared to hope that the
olive branch, held out, would bear
auch fruit so soon.
The little old ladies looked at each
-other, and of a sudden they fell into
each other's arms and cried. And as
the tears streamed down their cheeks
and mingled, they asked each other's
forgiveness with sobs and self-reproaches.
"I?I?I hope it will be a girl!
There!" said little Miss Martha.
"No, no! It is going to be a boy. 1
want it to be a boy!" answered Miss
Mary. And each had gone as far as it
was possible to go when she made
that admission.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps
on the stairs, and Doctor Springer
came into the room. Instantly the
two old ladies had seized him, one by
each hand, and their wrinkled old
facee were upturned to his.
"John! She's doing well?" they
both pleaded together.
"Well!" cried John Springer. "Why,
tt'o oil ATTOV If id?"
ib O All V-r I VI AV
"A girl!" exclaimed Miss Martha.
"A boy!" said little Miss Mary.
'Well?it's both?," admitted John
Springer, rubbing his hands. "A boy
and a girl. Eight pounders. So we'll
have use for both your gifts, after all."
And, being a man, he began to dance
, tor Joy.
And the two maiden aunts, with
arms Interlinked like schoolgirls, did
omethlng that they would nerer have
dreamed of doing in more sober moments.

HUSBAND RESCUED i
DESPAIRING WIFE
: After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "1 suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treatment
relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
rarrfui the woman's tonic, and I com
menced taking it From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. 1
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recommend
it Begin taking Cardui today.

Appearing Prosperous Pays.
A certain aristocratic beau, who
was known to be habitually "broke"
was asked at one time, "How do
you manage to wear such nobby
clothes?" to which he replied, "By
stopping at the best hotel." When
asked how he managed to stand off
the hotel, he replied, "Why that's
simple! By wearing pretty clothes
and appearing prosperous."

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that Is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease.

building up the constitution and assisting

This, of course, is not a good rule
to follow, yet there is a lot in looking:

If you write letters to prospective

prosperous and up-to-date.
