YOU CAN WRITE LETTERS
LIKE THESE.
The following will give you a good
idea of what kind of a letter you will
be able to write after you have secured
your piano or self-player piano
through The Golden Age Piano Club.
Charlotte, N. C., Dec. 28, 1912.
“We are all delighted with the piano. It
is beautifully finished and has such a sweet
tone. All of our friends, including a mu
sician, pronounce it a viost splendid piano.
I' am very much pleased with the Club
Plan, because it enables people of moderate
means to obtain a fine piano at a small
cost each month.” MARY ELLIOTT.
Blythewood, S. C., May 2, 1912.
“The lovely piano came yesterday. Am
just delighted with it; so are my musical
friends. The tone is so full and sweet,
and the case is lively.”
MRS. MAY W. FARMER.
Waycross, Georgia.
‘.The Ludden & Bates Piano that I pur
chased of you continues to give entire sat
isfaction. Its tones are exceedingly sweet
and do not give way under the changes of
season and climate, but preserve the same
roundness and fullness as at first.”
W. E. DEMPSTER.
Leesburg, Florida.
“I am pleased with the Club Plan and
more than pleased with my piano. Its tone
is the sweetest and construction perfect. I
would advise anyone desiring a piano to
join the Club and get the best. I cannot
say enough in regard to the Club Plan
and piano.” MRS. T. F. TODD.
Gaylesville, Alabama. ,
“Club piano received in good order. We
are well pleased with it. Better and nicer
than pianos sold here for from three hun
dred and fifty to five hundred dollars. Our
little town is pretty well stocked with pia
nos of different makes, and it is considered
that we have the best piano in town. We
thank you for your selection and prompt
shipment.” J. R. WILLIAMS.
Vaiden, Mississippi.
“I am perfectly delighted with my piano.
I think the Club Plan a capital idea.
MRS. RUFUS B. SMITH.
Letters like the above are received
by the Club every day. They come
from all parts of the South. Every
body is delighted with Club and not a

not possibly be dissatisfied.

me for a boy.” And fell back on his
pillow.
The truth then flashed upon my
mind which the instinct of my nature
had in vain dictated. Taking the
surgeon aside, I communicated to him
what had been disclosed to me. He
at once decided that, if the character
of the wound would permit, he would
have the sufferer removed to the
house in the rear where she could be
cared for by some good lad ; es of his
acquaintance. He then made a hasty
examination of the wound, and, after
administering an opiate, ordered an
ambulance, and furnished me with a
guide when the poor girl was carried
to the house designated. The ladies
received us in the kindest manner,
and immediately set about making
every arrangement for the comfort of
•the patient. The sbrgeo-n had /fol
lowed us, and in a short time arrived.
He immecliatly made a more thorough
examination of the wound, and in
formed me that it would likely prove
mortal. The ball had entered the
body, and passed into a vital part,
where it could not be found. I deter
nrnel to remain with my charge dur
ing the night, and took my seat by
her s‘de. After the effects ,o f the
epiate had passed off, she opened her
eyes, and. in answer to my question
how she felt, said to me:
“I am not in as much pain as I was
but I feel like I am going to die, and
I went to tell you more before it is
too I'de.”
T placed my ear near her pale face,
when in a low voice, she continued:
“I have not told you my name, it is
Acmes M—■. My parents both died
when I was a child, and Mr. J. R. —,
my mother’s brother, who lived in
District of South Carolina, is
my guardian. I left home without
his knowledge, and in d’sgui a e. as you
have seen me. I ought not to have
done so. I know it was wrong. But
I wanted to see” —she hesitated a
moment. Willie —is in the —the South
Carolina Regiment, and could not get
a furlough to come home. He went
into the aprv’co at the beginning of
tho war. and has been at home onlv
once since. ahoW two years ago. T
know i have wrong. h”t I could
not help it, and { t can’t be helped
now. t was afraid I m-’ght never
see him again.”
Here her voice faltered and was
choked with sobs. Recovering in a
few moments, she continued:
“Has Will’e come yet?—l expect
ed here before this. I am sure he will
le here soon: and should I be dead,
toll him for me tint I acted wrong
/n leaving h’rn as I did, but that I
have been a good gir.l. On arrving
at Petersburg, the young man who
acoomnanied me, and who is our
neighbor and a friend of Willie’s,
found lodging for me at a hotel. In
the afternoon, vou remember, I went
to the General’s quarters, and you
know «11 since. This morning, in
C’rrviug orders, I was wounded.”
Here she paused, as if waiting for
an answer from me. I sa’d:
Yes, I remember when you got on
the train and when you came to the
General’s quarters, and can bear tes
timony to your conduct, and will tell
him all, if the occasion requires.”
An expression of satisfaction light
ed up her face, and she said: “Thank
you, sir: you have been so kind to
me. She then asked me if I could get
leave for Will’e and his friend to
visit her I promised to do so; and
upon her requesting me to do so im.

mediatly, I took her by the hand and
endeavored to comfort her. On leav
ing, I promised to return next morn
ing. I galloped to the lines where the
regiment to which Willie and his
friend belonged was in position, and
delivered to them the sad message
with which I was charged, having
first gotten leave of absence for them.
I will not attempt to describe the
agony of Willie when I broke the mel
ancholy intelligence to him. They
hurr’ed off to the house to which
Agnes had been taken.
The next morning I communicated
to the Gereral the facts. . He was
deeply moved by the statement, and
ordered his horse, saying that he
would go with me on my promised
w’sit On cur arr'val at the house, we
learned that poor Agnes was sinking
rapidly under internal hemorrhage.
We went into the room where she
was l v, ng. We found there Willie, his
soldier-friend and an elderly gentle
man, on whose face was written the
deepest anguish. As I approached her
she gave me a look of recognition.
The tears gushed from my eyes. He
wa- the ’m°le of Agnes, and had fol
lowed her to her back home,

have saved her life, but for a break in
the railroad caused by the rains. In
a few «.imnlp words be told me of the
attachment between Willie and Agnes

years, °nd wh : ch had resulted in the
sad catastrophy. I delivered to him
her message, and told h : m what I had

consolation. He said he had no fears
himself of anything wrong on her
part. “She was a sweet, good girl,”
said he. “Self-reliant and self-willed,
perhaps; but I forgive her impru
dence —I forgive all,”he added while
his frame shook with convulsive grief.
It was not long until the intelli
gence came that poor Agnes was
dead. The General ordered an ambu

her remains.

Garden City, Kas. —In a letter from
Mrs. James Hamner, of this city, she
says, “I firmly believe that I would
not be alive today, if it were not for
Cardui. I had been a suffeffrer from
womanly troubles all my life, until I
found that great remedy. I f c el that
I can’t praise it too highly.” Are you
a woman, suffering from some of the
troubles to which a woman is pecu
l arly liable? If so, why not try Oar
dui, the woman’s tonic? You can rely
on Cardui. It is purely vegetable,
perfectly harmless, and acts gently but
surely, without bad after-effects. ’Twill
help you. Ask your druggist.
