"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

peeved my ability to provide for pan

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

"Mine?" uttered Eunice-blankly.
"Yes?unless I may share It witfc

she clasped his hand. John Wardel

"Ziron Did Us Both Gi
of Nort
r" Is a well-known medical fact, that
iron is a necessary constituent of the
blood, and that blood lacking iron is
the cause of many troubles that only iron
will ctlre.
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.
