Sterling, Conn.—"I am a girl of 22
years anti 1 used to faint away every
month and was very
weak. I was also
bothered a lot with
female weakness. I
read your little book
‘ Wisdom for Wo
men,’ and I saw how
others had been
helped by Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound, and
decided to try it, and
it has made me feel
like a new girl and 1 am now relieved
of all these troubles. I hope all young
girls will get relief as 1 have. I never
felt better in my life. ’’—Miss Berth a A.
Peloquin, Box 116, Sterling, Conn.
Massena, N. Y. —“1 have taken Ly
dia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
and 1 highly recommend it. If anyone
wants to write to me I will gladly tell
her about my ease. 1 was certainly in
a bad condition as my blood was all turn
ing to water. I had pimples on my lace
and a bad color, and for live years I had
been troubled with suppression. The
doctors called it 'Anemia and Exhaus
tion, ’ and said 1 was all run down, but
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound brought me out all right. ’’ — Miss
La visa Myres, Box 74, Massena, N.Y.

Girls who are troubled with painful or

6 SPRING ST.
Oniy high-class materials used
in my work.
A young man-ho was about thirty—
was on tin? roof or a little trap of u
house nestling among trees on the
margin of a lake in the heart of Ver
mont. ills costume was a pair of
soiled trousers ami a Annuel shirt.
What occupied him on the roof was
replacing rotted shingles. A woman in
an auto, which she was driving herself,
saw him from the road, which ran a
hundred feet from the house, title
stopped her machine and called to him.
"I say—you there—on the roof!”
The sliingler looked up.
"Are you married}"
"No.”
"I’ll give you a thousand dollars tf
you'll marry me right off."
The man was about to drive n unit,
but suspended ids work nnd looked at
the woman for a moment, then said:
"Wait a lilt. I'll rome down nnd bnve
a look at you. If you're not a Gorgon l
don't know but I'll take you up."
He slid down to a ladder, descended
by it to tlie ground and walked leisure
ly toward the woman who was so
anxious for a husband.
"Hurry up!" she called.
The man hastened Ills steps nnd soon
stood beside the auto. In tt was a young
woman between twenty nnd twenty-
five years old and comely.
“What I have to say must be said In
a hurry. I have property which was
left me in care of those who will In
herit tt in case I don't comply with a
condition of the will, which Is that I
shall be married by the time I am
twenty-two. I shall be twenty-two In
three days. Those who will Inherit If
I don’t are after me to shut me up on
the ground of lunacy. Oh. heavens!”
She paused, listened, then went on.
"I thought I heard them coming. 1
have only half an hour's start”—
"Til get In and you can tell me the
rest on the way.”
"Oh. do!"
He got In beside hpr. and she start
ed on.
"1 understand your case." he said.
"You wish me to marry you to comply
with the provision in the will."
"I do."
"And I as your husband will have a
prior right to those who are after yon
to your care?"
"I didn't think of that.”
"Turn to the left here. Do yon see
that spire over there? The parson lives
In that little white house with green
blinds beside it.”
Sli. turned as directed, and the
man continued:
"You wish me to agree beforehand
not to claim any marital rights, the
marriage being one of form solely, ex
cept ns shall aid you in your legal
contest, and to consent to an annul
ment when you desire one?”
“How nice to have yon say It all In
stead of having to do It myself! I
have always considered you country
people stupid. You surprise me.”
"This agreemeut must be verbal nnd
a secret between us or it might defeat
its purpose. You’ll have to trust me.
If I go back on my pledge you can’t
hold me since there is neither a writ
ten contract nor witnesses to a verbal
one.”
The only reply to this was n gasp.
Suddenly there was a sound coming
from behind which both knew to be
from an autocar whose driver was
gaining power for his machine by cut
ting off the muffler.
The woman, yielding unconsciously
to the Instinct of relying on a man
for protection, was about to relinquish
her grasp on the wheel to throw her
arms around her companion when, see
ing her design and not being In posi
tion to steer the car himself, he ad
monished her sharply.
“Hold on for your life!”
This steadied her. and she kept the
machine in the road while the man.
reaching over to the wheel, turned on
all the speed of which the car was ca
pable.
The road was tortuous; the machine
rocked and skidded. But fortune fa
vored the fugitives, and, although sev
eral times they came near going over,
they kept right side up till they struck
n straight level, at the end of which
was tile church and beside it their goal.
"Here we are,” he continued as they
dashed up to the white house with
green bliuds. There was a bonk be
hind them. and. looking back, they saw
a cloud of dust. “All depends on our
finding the parson at home.” He Jump
ed from the car, ran to the house
and hammered on the door. The sum
mons was answered by the parson
himself.
“Will you marry us?" asked the lady,
who had come up.
"Got a license?”
“Ob. heavens! Must we have that?"
The groom expectant explained in a
few words the situation, and the
clergyman consented. The pair went
Inside, gave their names and were
married.
“Got a gun In the bouse?" asked the
groom.
“A fowling piece I shoot birds with."
“Let me have it”
The clergyman brought his gun and
gave It to the man who had asked for
it There was no reason why he
should not do so. for It was not load
ed. At the same moment an auto
with two men In It Unshed up to the
parsonage. They were both well dress
ed. and one of them was nn attorney.
The clergyman responded to their
knock, opening the door.
"1 have a warrant for the person of
Lueile Havens,” stiitl the •uwyer.
"So such person here," responded
the groom.
"There she Is! 1 demand that she
be given up to me peaceably."
"That Indy Is my wife, Mrs. Charles
Cummings.”
Both the newcomers started.
“Are you a clergyman?" the lawyer
asked of the parson.
"1 am."
The men who were after the girl
consulted apart from flic others; then
tile lawyer advanced and said:
"There are doubts as to the legality
of tills marriage. The groom being
evidently a countryman and of a dif
ferent station in life from the bride, it
Is evident, that the marriage lias been
made for the sole purpose of defeating
(lie law. 1 demand the person of Lu
eile Havens or I,nolle Havens Cum
mings, ns the case may be.”
lie advanced toward the bride. Cum
mings took up the gun which he had
stood in a corner and. aiming it at him.
told him that If lie laid a Anger on Ills
bride lie would shoot him. The lawyer
saw determination in the other's eye
and drew back. Then came another
consultation between tlie two who had
come for tile woman, nt the end of
which they entered ttieir auto and
stnrtcd bnok In tlie direction from
which they came.
"I am glad to have served you." said
the groom.
"I will he pleased to recompense
you," replied the bride in a state of
happy excitement.
She look a roll of bills from her
pocket and was about to hand one of
them to tile clergyman when her hus
band waved her buck.
“It Is the groom's part to pay the
wedding fee," he said. "Mr. Gregory, I
haven't the wherewithal witli me, but
will band it to you Inter."
The bride looked surprised at this,
but was too happy at having escaped
being taken to a lunatic asylum to
think much nliout it. She bade ttie
clergyman adieu with her thanks, then
asked her husband to get lulu ttie car
that she might drive him back to re
sume his shingling. He assented, and
they drove away.
"If you will give me your address,"
said the wife. "I will send you a check
for tlie thousand dollars 1 promised
you.”
"1 would advise you to defer that
payment. These gentlemen who were
after you will doubtless endeavor to
prove that it was a mere agreement to
defeat the law. and I fear they will
succeed. There were uo witnesses
present.”
"Oh, my goodness gracious!"
"I think you laid better do uolhing nt
present In remunerating me. 1 am In
no especial need of money. Rather l
would advise my remaining near you to
protect you in case they try lo get pos
session of your person. Once you are
in their bauds I might not lie able to
get you away from them—at least not
without a legal struggle."
"If you will go to the city with me I
will hear all expenses and remunerate
you liberally.’’
“I will go with pleasure.”
By Lids time they had reached Cum
mings’ house, lie alighted to get to
gether Ids belongings and shut up liis
house. This required time, and bis
wife waited more than half an hour
for him. When he returned she did
uot recognize him till he threw a
satchel into the auto before getllug in
himself.
“Well. I declare!” she exclaimed in
astonishment "What are you doing
in those clothes?”
He entered the auto anil as they
drove along briefly told her Ills story.
He was a professor in a college. Hav
ing a taste for rural life, he hud bought
a little shuck beside the lake and lilted
it up for summer occupancy. There he
lived in camp costume during vacation
time. He found it rather lonely, hut
since he was obliged to do u great deal
of studying It was the best way of
living during tlie heated term that he
could devise.
This sudden transformation, the
prospect of having to deal with an
educated gentleman in a matter of
such Importance to her, was simply
piling Joy upou Jo.v on the young bride.
She was driving to a country seat
about twenty miles distant, belonging
to the estate which she had inherited,
the intention being to take a train from
there for the oily. But on urrlval it
wus decided to remain where they
were until the enemy should by some
overt act make known what his course
would he. If a chaperon were needed
for u husband and a wife there were
others in file house besides the serv
ants. and it came out on a trial which
subsequently took place that the couple
behaved with great circumspection.
When September came Professor
Cummings went home to resume his
college duties, anil his bride, fearing
that if she were separated from her
legal husband an effort might be made
by her opponents to get possession of
her, went with him. Meanwhile a
quick courtship had been going on,
which ended In a proposal, and it was
suggested, in view of the exigencies of
tlie case, the couple be married again
and live together as man and wife. But
Professor Cummings was opposed to
another mnrriage on the ground that It
might be construed as an acknowl
edgment that the first was invalid.
If It was the heiress would not have
compiled with the terms of the will
since she had been twenty-two years
of age some time before; consequently
they returned to occupy the same house,
and a second marriage never took
place.

"Tuxedo is always welcome. A
pleasant smoke, a mental bracer
—the ideal tobacco.”
n
You Smoke a “Better” Tobacco
—Why Not Smoke The Best?
T HE tobacco you now smoke you con
sider “better tobacco than you ever
smoked before.” Naturally, you kept
trying until you found a “better” one.
But it stands to reason that since there is
a difference in tobaccos, you may be miss
ing still greater pleasure in -a still better smoke
—in the BEST smoke, in fact.
Tuxedo is the best smoke because no
better tobacco leaf grows, and no process of
treating tobacco leaf equals the original
“Tuxedo Process.”

The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe, and Cigarette
We know that Tuxedo is made of the
BES T tobacco—rich, mellow, perfectly aged
Kentucky Burley. None better can be
bought, because none better is grown.
It is treated by the famous orifrinnl “Tuxedo
Process'’ for removing the sting and bite of the
natural vegetable oils.
Tuxedo was horn in 1904. Its first imitator
appeared two years later.
Since then a host of imi
tations have sprung up.
No other tobacco can
give the unique pleasure
of Tuxedo because no
other maker has yet been
able to equal tlie Tuxedo
quality.
