The great, dread looming ever before her.

For a girl of seventeen she was unusually
thoughtful Life had been hard In this
little cottage since her mother died, or

Life itself could not be hard where Os

possesses a divine faculty. If it can help
no other way, it does so by the aid of
its own light. Such was the character of
this man s temperament. The cottage was
a happy place: only—she never fagiomed
the depths of that only. If in these days

full credit to the Dread which r'oklfci ever

hurt him who hurt nobody; whose mere

But her interest had been caught to

during her eager watch the small mes

What is the name of the gentleman you

The boy looked, searched his memory,

a duty.”
Meantime, she was struggling to find
words in face of that great Dread. She

When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain
remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any
sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also
benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ?
Here are five letters from southern women which prove
the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Elliston. Va.—“ I feel it my duty to express my thanks to yon and your
preat medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles anti had been con

housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me
alone, for five minutes at a time.
Now 1 owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and
Blood Purifier. Whenever I see a suffering woman I want to tell her what
these medicines have done for me and I will always speak a good word for
them."—Mrs. Robert Blankenship, Elliston. Montgomery Co., Va.
LETTER FROM LOUISIANA.
New Orleans. La.—“l was passing through the Change of Life and be

hot flashes, weak and dizzy feelings, backache and irregularities. 1 would
get up in the morning feeling tired out and not tit to do anything.

LETTER FROM FLORIDA.
Fla.—‘‘Some time ago I wrote to you giving you my symp

package of Sanative Wash and that was all I used to make me a well woman.
‘‘l am satisfied that if I had done like a good many women, and had
not taken your remedies. 1 would have been a great sufferer. But I started
in time with the right medicine and got well. It did not cost very much
either. 1 feel that vou are a friend to all women and 1 would rather use
your remedies than have a doctor.” —Mrs. Mattie Hodnot, Box 406, Wau

Newport News,Va. —“About five years ago I was troubled with such pains

You see it was like, this: From an
aisle seat in the theater I had watched
Miss Moore pick up Hanky Pank.v and
walk off with it in the slang of the
i stage, with a physical vitality which
seemed extraordinary for a person of
so slight a build. She acted her scenes
with that whirlwind quality that takes
your breath away, and she had been
genuinely whimsical and irrepressibly
funny.
In the first act, in a weird trouser
ette costume, any one else but Miss
Moore would have been vulgar, but
some indefinite quality keeps her from
erring in thia way, and a preposterous
sense of humor, with a spontaneity
which seems absolutely natural, wins
the audience from the first.

Ing. humorous face, even If it isn’t
strictly beautiful. Is the face that peo
ple like to look at In preference to the
sad-eyed, despairing beauty."
"But do you think a sense of humor
can be cultivated?"
"Yes, I do; and I think it should be
part of their education. If women
would learn to look on the- funny side
of life, that side would grow, and they
would see more and more funny and
amusing things to Interest them. Often
when 1 go on the stage feeling down,’
as one is apt to do, I see some one in
the audience that strikes me as funny,
and I begin to laugh and a whole lot
is lifted from my shoulders.
"Nobody knows what I’m laughing
at. and I suppose they think It's part
of the show, but sometimes I catch
sight of one of those stern people who
come to the theater, with the firm de
termination not to be amused, and not
to think any joke funny. They sit
there with the expression that says, 'I
dare you to make me laugh.' I always
take the dare, and nothing gives me
more joy than to bring a reluctant,
shamed-faced grin on such a face."
Why She Is Strong.
"Where did you get all your strength
from. Miss Moore? You certainly
don't look robust, but you whir! around
that stage and exude enough vitality
to exhaust a giantess I should think
you'd be done up after each perform
ance.”
"Do you know I'm not the least con
scious of it, until I come off and look
over my gown, which is generally in
shreds after the performance. This
dress tells the story of how hard I
work," and Miss Moore looked ruefully
at her spangled frock and put her fin
ger through numerous tears that bore
witness to that evening's strenuous
performance.
Though we were getting on nicely in
a conversational way. 1 hadn’t found
out yet what was the secret power in
this extraordinary young woman who
can make a big audience laugh at her
antics on the stage, and who Is so ear
nest, so simple and unaffected, so any
thing but comic in private life.
She was still sitting on the tonring
trunk, brushing her long mane of hair,
which, unlike ordinary theatrical hair,
grows on her own head and not on the
dressing table.
"Miss Moore, do tell me how you
do it. Your llfeF is harder and more
strenuous than that of the average
woman in the audience. You have to
be keyed up to a certain pitch every
night to get your audience, and yet
you don’t look tired; in fact, you look
younger off the stage than on it. Now
confess, what do you do when you get
to this theater feeling that you haven't
any vitality or any strength to work
with, and yet knowing tha' you must
play your part with all your usual
vivacity?”
Miss Moore looked at me with those
deep, penetrating eyes from which all
mirth and roguishness were banished,
and said:
"I pray. I'm a Christian Scientist,
and it often happens that when I get
out before that big audience, and feel
my strength oozing from me. and my
audience getting away. I just stand
there and pray.
"I may be saying a Joke with my
lips, but right down in the bottom of
my heart I'm praying for strength."
There was no need of questioning
her any further, for, despite the fact
that she is known as the funniest
woman on the stage, the secret of her
power, which will be the secret of
health and youth as long as she needs
It. is a deep and spiritual one. which
preachers and lecturers talk about, but
which few can demonstrate as success
