"i * HER ' I: RECOMPENSE, j; Br ALVAH J. GARTH. ] [ tCopyrifht, 111#. Western Newspaper L'nton ) "A disturber, that is what Mrs. Warden is, and I say !t who hadn't ouzht to, perhaps, for she Is my own relative." Thus Mrs. Amy Jennison, and the criticism passed down the line of local gossip and eventually reached the ears f the subject of the remark. That patient, misconstrued person looked aad and depressed because of tile unJuat accusation. It was not the first time Eunice Wardell had received second-hand observations that had hurt her kindly feelimr*. *<r ~ ' Mrs. Wardell had known a sorrowful past. She had married John Wardel! when she was tweuty-five years of age. That was ten year* since. Before the jrst year had passed by they were separated. John Wardell had disappeared from his home and become a wanderer. His death was reported and Mr*. Wardell was very generally regarded as a widow. Silently she had taken up the burden* of life. She had t* her own right the home Wardell had deserted aad some Investments her father had left her. A strange calm and sense of sacrifice had eooae over her, and she lad seemingly decided to employ her time and meant In charity and good deeds. She became the almoner of a number of poor families, but soon found that her generous Impulses were Itaposed upon by her relatives. There were four of these, all cousins, two of them women and all married. Amid her loneliness she clung to them, loved them sincerely and indulged them. There was one element that stood out prominently In all Mr*. ' Wardell thought, and said, and did. She vjms the consistent breathing soul of truth. It was her way to employ candor and directness In all her dealings, with others. It was this quality that had estranged her from John Wardell. When she came In more- direct contact with her relatives Eunice pursued the same Inflexible system. She always thought more of bestowing practical permanent good than tiding over a temporary situation. When Robert mf? Jennlson, the husband of her cousin my, started in business it was Eunice who provided the capital. He succeeded. but all along the line Eunice, with sincere regard for him. watched, advised and made advantageous suggestions, but as Jennlson progressed there came pride and Independence, and thereafter resented "the interference" of his relative, forgetting that to her he owed his success. There was the ambitious son of an-1 ther cousin whom Eunice financed in his college career, but he disdained her recommendation that he become a lawyer and ran away with an actress, and wasted his life In following up eheap road shows. The son of another cousin became Involved in coiv tentton with his employer as to some missing money, and It took nearly a thousand dollars to compromise the case. At thirty-five Mrs. Warden was a weary, disappointed woman. A last investment in a stock venture of one ^ of her precious relatives had sadly depleted her resources. Not one effort die had made In love and kindness had brought the sncceas and happiness die had anticipated. One day she went to her lawyer. "Mr. Ward." sha said, "I wish ta divide the remnants of what I possess among my relatives, except what will support me in a humble way." "Are yon sure you are acting wisely?" ventured the attorney. "I will have my way," answered Eunice quietly, but with force. The sacrifice made her homeless. Then Eunice sought an aged spinster friend and arranged to spend the rest of her life in her home. Within a year this companion passed away, and Eunice took up her quarters In a cheap room at the village hotel. One afternoon she took a long walk | ?A J * ? - KIaaI* I ana oown lu rcsi wu k uvi oc uiw& i before one of the best residences In town, recently vacated by Its owner. Eunice had heard that the property was for sale and as she saw a man come from the garden wondered If he was a prospective purchaser. She stared, started to her feet, the blood left her face as the stranger advanced and caughtr her as she seemed about y to sink to the ground. "Eunice!" he spoke simply. She swayed as he Iqwered her to the horse block and put his arm about her to support her. She was too weak to resist him and why should she, for was he not her own husband, mourned aa dead and marvelously reappearing at the darkest moment of her lonely life! "Don't break down, Eunice,'' he pleaded tenderly. "You sent me away rightly* for I was a burden and foqght the truth. For five years I floated. Than the true conception of your worthy principles came to me. I faced gfceut straight In the path ef right lUinr but would not return until I had peeved my ability to provide for pan aa I ought. Oh! poor, dear aool! How others have wrecked your life I I have been learning of your latest sacrifice ta your ungrateful relatives. You have made yourself poor, homeless, fot others. Well, I have bought this house aad It la yours, and ample to sustala It." "Mine?" uttered Eunice-blankly.

Ziron, a scientific compound of iron with other valuable ingredients, is the remedy to take when your blood needs more iron, and your system requires a tonic. Ziron is mild and harmless, does not stain the teeth, and is good for children as well as adults. Mr. P. O.
