"I am send-ing this letter to tell you how much good Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound did my daughter. She was troubled with nervousness so that she was restless at night, and then she could not sleep and she was afraid of everything. She could not work as she was not strong enough, and he had to quit school at 14 because he was ill so much. The doctor said he had a nervous breakdown and her system was all run down. She had pains in her right side and through her back, and the medicine she took did her no good at all I saw Lydia E.

I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound for my nerves and run-down condition, so I gave her three dosea daily, and also Lydia E. Pink-ham- 's Blood Medicine. Our friends are surprised to see how fine and tall she is getting and how well she is. I will gladly answer letters and give you a fine recommendation for other mothers."

Chapter IV It Is a fact that when the two young men the establishment of Madame Lenore, they both failed ut-terly to recognize the girl who was standing In a distant corner, talking to the proprietress. It was not until she detached herself and came hesi-tatingly up to thein that they realised With varying sensations, who she was. Gerald laughed with pleasure and held out both his hands, Christopher's admiration was tempered with a cer-tain amount of distinct disapproba-tion. ' v- - 'v "Well, wtat does milord think T Mndume demanded. "My congratulations !" Gerald re-plied enthusiastically. "My dear Myf tile, I wonder If you realize how charming you are?" ' The girl looked shyly up at Gerald, her face sjift and eloquent wltb pleas-ure. She was clud In a Ann white serge costume, trimmed with silver, braid. Her lure blouse whs delicately filmy and transparent, the cut of her skirt as scanty as the lust word from Paris had decreed! her white silk stock-ings and supde shoes, procured from s neighboring establishment, Irre-proachable; her Inrge hot. a gosHa-mc- rl Ike confection of tulle and Ince, .Of the charm of her appearance there could be no possible question, hut, In exact proportion with Gerald's Christopher's disapproval seemed to grow. "I do not criticise your clothes, e, or your taste," he said, "but we have given you the wrong Idea. Mademoiselle Is In search of a situa-tion. Sho Is a working girl for whose future ns a working girl my friend and I are tjnxlons to provide. Those clothes are entirely unsuitable." "Look here, Chris," Gerald Inter rupted, "you're taking this thing too seriously. We know very well that Myrtile must be found something to do later on, but In the meantime she may as well have a little fun. Can't you see for yourself how wonderful she Is? She will puzzle the whole of Monte Carlo for a week." "And after then?" Christopher asked. Gerald turned Impatiently away. Msdame held up a wonderful confec-tion of white lace and silk. "This Is what I figure to myself for mademoiselle's first evening frock," she suld, "this and a hat of black lace, with a string of peurls which I could perhaps borrow. I promlRe you that she would make a sensation you do not dream of." "It Is not our wish that she make a sensation of this sort," Christopher persisted harshly, "It appears to me that you both wish to provide the child--" ' CHAPTER III Continued "Then why do they look at me so - strange! ?' she persisted. "It must i be because I have no toilette, no hot, my shoes ore ugly. Indeed, monsieur, , It la no place for me. Here are friends of yours coming, I am sure the beau- - tlfully dressed young lady who looks at me so curiously." . "It is Geralds father and sister," he ' ' whispered, - "She was suddenly very white and frightened. Christopher rose ..to his feet. Lady Mnry nodded a little cold-ly, Lord Illnterleys acknowledged his .. greeting with some surprise. 7 . This is your little protege, I sup-- ' jKwe?" Mary remarked, looking at Myrtile. . '. "This la Myrtile," Christopher "We are waiting for Gerald How to decide what to do with her." .;. ."You wish to leave home, I under-stand?" Mary asked, turning to the girl, who had risen to her feet. f'l will never return there," Myrtile replied- - "no, not even If Monsieur " ""N, Gerald himself commanded me to. I "".oilld sooner throw myself Into the sea." clothes," Geruld explained. "Thut Is your part. We hand her over to you. Dress her, mudame. We will return In an hour." Mudume's eyes sparkled. She looked at Myrtile appralslngly. "Mademoiselle will be worth dress-ing," she assured them Joyfully. "Re-turn, as you say, In an hour, milord, and I ran promise that mademoiselle shull be all that you desire." Christopher for the first time Inter-vened, "Look here, Gerald,", he said, "I don't think that you are giving e quite the right Idea." "In what respect?" 'Mademoiselle Is the daughter of working folk," Christopher explained. "She requires clothes of good quullty, If you will, but clothes In which she can seek a situation. That la so, Is It not, Myrtile?" The girl's eyes were fixed anxiously upon Gerald. "I should like to have what Monsieur Gerald would wish me to have," she replied. "Mudemoiselle has a figure so fash-ionable," Madame Lenore murmured ; "so slim yet so elegant, and an ex-pression altogether splrltuelle. I have some frocks only this morning arrived from Paris, in which she would seem a dream." "We do not desire mademoiselle to become a dream," Christopher said, stoutly. "We have the charge of her for a short time only, and the sort of toilette which you have In your mind, I think,. Madame Lenore, would be highly unsuitable. Am I not right, Gerald?" "Oh, I suppose so," the young man agreed. "I'd ruther like to see her In one of Madame Leuore's creations, though." "Milord and monsieur," madame snld, "leave It to me. Return In an hour. There shall be two costumes ready. You shall take your choice. If mademoiselle will have the goodness to step this way " 5 The two young men wandered out They nrnde their way back to the ter-race, where Lord Illnterleys walked for a time, leaning on Gerald's arm. Mary drew Christopher to one side. "So that Is your little protege?" ehe remarked. "That Is she," Christopher admit-ted. "I do not wish to seem a prude," Mary continued, "or anything else disagreeable, but do yon really think that you are doing the right thing, Christopher, In sitting about on the terrace with a peasant girl dressed er according to her position? The whole escapade, I think, is ridiculous, t am not so surprised at Gerald but I am surprised at you." . Christopher was conscious of some Irritation. He liked and admired Lady Mary, but It seemed to him that her attitude was a little unsympathetic. "I enn quite understand the whole Incident seeming 111 advised," he "but, looking back at It, I honestly cannot see what else we could have done." He stopped abort. Gerald's eye were filled with sudden Dre; the girl was trembling. "You're talking like an ass, Chris-topher," Gerald declared. "This Is my affair." "It is nothing of the sort." Chris-topher rejoined stubbornly. "It Is our affair. I claim an equal right In dis-posing of Myrtile, and I will not have her decked out In these clothes. What we need for her la a plain blue serge suit snd a small hat. She will always look charming, she will always be at-tractive, but nothing In her future walk of life Justifies our arraying her In clothes like these." Madame shrugged her shoulders more disparagingly than ever. "It Is as milord and monsieur de-sire, of course," she said. "I can pro-vide such garments as monsieur de-scribes." Gerald looked at Myrtile once more. The admiration In his eyes this time, at any rate, was absolutely genuine. "I can't see the harm In having ths child properly turned out for. say, one week," he protested, turning to Chris-topher. "And at the end of that week, what?" There was a deadly directness about Christopher's gase. Gerald, although there was no definitely formed thought of evil In his mind, avoided it. "If ynu are proposing to marry Myrtile," Christopher continued, "then the clothes you have selected are suit-able. Unless you have made up your mind to do that, I beg that madame will show us something different." . "Isn't that a little extremer her questioner rejoined coldly. "The misery I should have to face If I returned would also be extreme," Myrtile declared, "I am hoping to find some work here." "That should not be difficult," Mary observed, and they passed on, Mary with a nod to Christopher which lacked much of Its usual cordiality. MyrtUe looked after tbem and there was trouble In her fice. "They do not like me," ahe said. "They do not think that I ought to be here with you. They are right, of course. I am Just a little peasant gtrl In peasant clothes Let us go." Christopher's remonstrances were In vain. She turned and walked away, and he was obliged to follow. Just ss they were leaving the promenade, however, they came face to face with Gerald, Issuing from the hotel. He gsve a little start as he recognized Myrtile. Except for a careless thought when he had first awakened, he had forgotten all about her. It was char aoterlstlc of him, however, to behave during the next few minutes as though he had been thinking of no one else. "So Christopher has been stealing a march on me 1" he exclaimed. "Has he shown you all the sights, Myrtller ' "I waited a long time for you," she replied. "We have been sitting on the terrace." "And Myrtile has been a little trou-blesome," Christopher suld. "She Is going back to her rooms to hide be-cause of her clothes." "tlothesr Gerald repeated. "Why, of course she must have clothes. We ought to have thought of that when we brought her away." "Hut. monsieur," she began timidly, "even the clothes which I have at home my communion gown " Gerald waved his ann. "Come along," he Invited. "We will transform you. We will go to Lenore's. Madame Lenore is a great pal of mine. Myrtile, you shall have clothes fit for a duchess." "Then they would not he fit for me," Mjrtlle objected, doubtfully. "Nor, I should think," Christopher added, "would they help her to obtain sltuotlon." Gerald, however, would listen to no remonstrances. He ufhered them Into a quiet but sumptuous looking little establishment, only a few doors from the Hotel de Paris. A Frenchwoman, dark and attractive, came forward to welcome them. "Ah, monsieur milord !" she ex-claimed. "It Is good to see you again! Her ladyship was here only three da.vs ago. I ventured to ask If you were to be expected." "Madame," Gersld declared, "I am hew on business. We have with us i princess the Princess Myrtile." "A princess r Madame repeated, with s wondering glance at the girl. ' "A prlnreM Is everything bat Fun for a week for Myrtile and her sponsors and then, whatT Anyway, Myrtll Is charming. (TO BE CONTINUED.) "You could have left the girl where she was," Mary Insisted Christopher shook his head. ' "You didn't see her," he replied. "No one could have left her. No actress could have simulated the horror we saw shining out of her face. I don't think that I should ever have thought of bringing her away It was Gerald who did that but I think that he was right, and I shold never consent to sending her back unless she were willing to go." "And exactly what do you two young men propose to do with her, then?" Mary Inquired. "It Is not you I am so much afraid of. It Is Ger-ald." "But yon don't believe " he be-ga- "I believe that Gerald's Intentions are always good," she Interrupted ; "he Is capable, even, of Idealism. On the other hand, he Is fatully weak, especially where women are concerned. I fancy," she went on, "you will Ond that you have assumed a dual re-sponsibility, and I fancy, too, that some day you will be sorry for It. Gerald has the spirit of the philander-er In his blood If the girl atlrncts him sufficiently, you, at any rate ond probably he will be sorry you did not leave her to her village lover." "You have described Gerald cor-rectly when you called him a phi-landerer," Christopher admitted. "I put myself In court, and on his behalf I plead guilty to the charge. On the other liRiid, I have greater faith In h'S kindness of heart and his sense of honor than you seem to have. This child Is helpless ' and Innocent. For thut reason I believe that she will be as safe with Gerald as with me." Lady Mary sighed. The look of trouble still lingered In her eyes. "1 hope thut you may be right," she snld. "I sm not a superstitious person, but I have some sort of fore-boding about that rbfld.

THERE'S MONEY IN MIL-LINERY ALMOST any "Main Street", girl money, If alio has the millinery magic In her fingers. And almost any "Main Street'1 of-fers as a market a whole town full of women with the "hut habit." That's how a village milliner who freshened my own hat almost past recognition, after I had been caught In a thunder shower .while passing through her town, put It., The "hat habit," It seems, ts a craze for new chapeaux, whether needed or not, to the tune of two or- three a season. "Small town women are Just as en-thusiastic about having fresh mil-linery, In new models, every few months, as city women are," she de-clared. "I make over their old huts, or give them new creations, Just as they like." Although millinery used to he as seasonal as the coal business, and had Its one high peak In the eprtug season, when the rush for the annual "Easter bonnet" was on, It Is now an proposition. It may be started on small capital and may be profitably carried on In any com-munity where there are a number of women who cure about the quality and beauty of their headgear. The milliner's Initial success depends on her skill, and the neatness and qual-ity of her work. The" questions of location, pretentiousness of business quarters and size of stock' are sec- - ' ondary ones at the start. Even for the girl who has a decided knack for making hats, a course lo millinery or an apprenticeship in a city shop are valuable training, al-most Indispensable to her success when she is In business for herself. Hut such training Is Inexpensive, and the profits of a successful milliner are large.. The ' prospective hot maker should learn how to design, make and trim hats of all kinds for every rea-son and every purpose, for women and children of all ages. She can start her shop on a small scale right In her own home, or In one small room In a downtown store. For only a lit-tle money she can equip herself with an attractive assortment of various samples and materials In the popular shades. She should buy her materials In small quantities, at first, only as she requires them for special orders. Later, she wlU, save money by buying wholesale. Newspaper ad-vertising, and personal communica-tion, by letter, telephone or personal call, are the best means by which the milliner can get customers. Clever and Foolish "Once a girl has mude a man think he's clever, he's capable of any fool-ishness."

Many and various were the ancient offices of bells. According to some monkish couplets the mottoes of a chime, one bell says, "Men's death I tell, by doleful knell"; another, "The winds so fierce I do disperse"; and a third, "Lightning and thunder I break asunder." Rural bell ringers ofteo have a great affection for their bells, and In the superstitious way of their fathers ascribe to each some special virtue.
