HOWS YOUR BLOOD ?
—■ I
Pimples and Eruptions
Mean Bad Blood
People who have impure or impover
ished blood should be careful to take
only a temperance remedy made of wild
roots and barks such as Dr. Fierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is and has
been for nearly 50 years. Ingredients
printed on wrapper.
The first day you start to take this
reliable medicine, impure g rtns and
accumulation begin to separate in the
blood and are then e:tpell«d through
the eliminative organs.
In place of the impurities, the ar
teries and veins gradually get fresh
vitalized blood and the action of this
good blood on the skin means that pim
ples, boils, carbuncles, eczema, rash,
acne and all skin blemishes will disap
pear. Then you must remember that
when the blood is rsdit, the liver, stom
ach, bowels and kidneys become healthy,
active and vigorous and you will have
no mere trouble with indigestion, back
ache, headache.

covery to-day at any medicine dealers,
in tablet or liquid form, or send 10c for

Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

Medical Discovery is a great medicine for
me in building me up when 1 feel run
down in health. It gives me strength and

times for thirty years or more. 1 began
its use for catarrh, with catarrh remedy
I prepared by Dr. Pierce, and it greatly re
lieved me. I can heartily recommend the
'Discovery' as a blood medicine.” — Mrs.

NEIL IS ANGRY WITH BARBARA
FOR MEDDLING.
CHAPTER LXVIL
I never closed my eyes all night.
If his business was all as it should
be why was Neil angry because
I tried to see his papers? I had not
meant to be meddlesome, simply to
find something to refute what peo
ple were saying about him —If Lor
raine Morton and those women I
heard talking in thes tore were tell
ing the truth. And it was strange
they should say the same things Mr.
Frederick had said so long before.
I recalled the startled unbelief
in Neil’s voice when he replied to me
after I had told him people were say
ing unkind things about him, and
tjied to extract a bit (if comfort from
it. Surely if he had been doing any
thing very wrong fie would not have
been so surprised—or so angry. It
was I who had made him cross, not
the malicious gossip of people who
knew nothing of him. his goodness,
his generosity. Perhaps I had done
wrong to go to his office. It had
been done on impulse, because I
loved him. I would make him un
derstand that, and he would not be
so angry.
Then 1 wondered what the book
keeper and the yellow haired sten
oprapher would tell him. I hoped
they would not exaggerate my ac
tions. I knew I had acted terribly
disappointed, especially when I
went back the second time to look
at the mail. I had said nothing o!
that to Neil, he might be still more
angry if they told him. All of
wild ideas came into my head. To
telephone them not to say anything
to my husband about my second
visit to the office—to tell him my-

self in the morning trusting that he
would be over his anger by that
time, even tp deny having gone back
if he was still cros's, and they told
him. But most of that long night I
spent trying to convince myself that
nothing I had heard dedrogatory to
Neil was so— could possibly be true.
I rose early but he was in his bath
even then. I imagined he, too, had not
slept. 1 knew he had not undressed
because he had not come after his
nightclothes. He probably had
thrown himself on the divan all
dressed ’and got what rset he could.
I felt so guilty. He had been trav
elling, a thing he hated. He never
slept well on the train, and was al
ways so glad to get home.
“There’s nothing like a good bed,”
he used to say, "I’d never sleep on a
train if I could possibly help it.*'
Knowing how he felt, made me even
more guiltily coneious that I had
kept him from his rest.
"Good morning,’' he said corutiy
when he came down to breakfast.

fore him.
“Good morning,’’ he said curtly
ing to speak naturally and bright
ly and making a dismal failure of it,
but lifting my face for his qsuai
morning kiss. He just brushed my
cheek with his lips, then sat down
and buried himself in his paper. I
was uncomfortably conscious of his
displeasure, and also afraid he might
say something before the servants,
a habit which had grown upon him.

When we were first married he had
been careful to discuss nothing of a
personal nature before a servant, and
I laid the growth of the habit now to
what Ixirraine had told me of his
carelessness at Blanche Orton’s, so
giving her servants the chance to
talk.
I watched him narrowly as I
poured his coffee, but he never raised
his eyes from the paper . Next I
asked him a question about how lie
would like his eggs.
“I don’t care!’’ he snapped.
My eyes filled. He was still angry.
But I would tfy again. I must plac

office. So I asked:
“Did you have a successful trip?”
“Successful enough!”
“Please Neil don’t he so short with
me. I have been so lonesome while
you were away.”
"You seem to have kept pretty

been very lonesome.”
“Oh, Neil,” —the butler left the
room a moment, “please be nice to
me.”
“I will when you are also nice, as
you call it. If you think it the part
of a lady to play the spy I don’t!”
He flung from the table and from
the house.
