Many persons have their good
day and their bad day. Others
are about half sick all the time.
They have headache backache
and are restless and nervous.
Food does not taste good and
the digestion is poor; the skin
is dry and sallow and disfigured
with pimples or eruptions;
sleep brings no rest and work
Is a burden.
What Is the cause of all this?
Impure blood.
And the remedy?
It clears nut the channels
through which poisons are
carried from the body. When
all Impurities are removed from
the blood nature takes right hold
and completes the cure.
If there Is constipation take
Ayer's Pills. They awaken the
drowsy action of the liver; they
cure biliousness.

Mr. Bingham produced n letter in it
long blue cmclopc unsealed nnd with-
out nn address. Ho offered it to Knith.
"I will not touch It!" she cried. "For
shame fnthcrl Cnn you stoop tc read
a prlvntc letter picked out of the pock-
ets of your gncst by your own serv-
ants?" "My giicstl A pretty sort 'of guest!
My guest is n spy mid he is my pris-
oner" nhouted Mr. Iltnghnni. "I liavo
tho right to search nnd I lint c proved
his trade on hint by the papers ho
carries. Abby was right to inform our
boys of this meeting nnd they won1
light to be there prepared to take him
nlho or dead. Tho time demamlH it.
A spy expects tho treatment of it spy;
he knows what that is when he ngrces
to take tho job. Now hear wbnt he
says for himself. This is n letter ad-
dressed to Sir Peter Plymptoti tho
president of our company ns you know.
J ho (Into is June 30 the tiny of tbnt oc-
casion you refer to in a manner so re-
spectful to your father when wc first
met this Mr. Darcie Hamilton alias
Tnck Darcie. His father is Archibald
Ifnmiltou one of our directors so it's
not for the vages be has taken up the
trade; it's pure love of the business.
1 will not stop to read each specific
charge that he brings against me; yon
can read the letter yourself If you like.
Perhaps you have read it."
Faith rejected the letter with a pas-
sionate gesture.
"Then you will have to take my word
for the contents. It's tho old list of
charges that is always put up when
there is a kick against one man on tho
misrepresentations of a lot of other
men who hnc something to gain by
his downfall. I'm a liar nnd a thief
nnd I'm generally incompetent; there's
nothing wrong that I haven't done and
there's nothing right tbnt I have. If
you won't read it you can take for
granted there's nothing left out. Hut
here is his summing up:
" 'I would unhesitatingly recommend
that work bo suspended and the mine
shut down pending a complete reor-
ganization of the force. The morale of
the men is what might be looked for ns
tho result of inefficiency wasteful ex-
travagance and corruption in. the offi-
cers. I should recommend the dis-
charge of every man on the pay rolls
beginning with the manager nnd ex-
cepting the doctor. At present the
mine is run in the Interests of the man-
ager and of the Miners' union. The
force includes some of the most un-
scrupulous of the Idaho "Mollies" nnd
in the existing state of feeling between
the Mine-owners' association and the
unions t'hc mine is regarded as a danger
and n menace to the peace of the com-
munity; and in the event of these
troubles coming to a crisis demanding
the presence of the troops I think it not
unlikely that the minG would be shut
down by ijiKier of the district com-
ma ml cr.'
"All this'he submits respectfully and
signs himself 'John Darcie Hamilton.'
"Xow whether the charges against
me are true or false has nothing to do
with the question. Is this Darcie Ham-
ilton entitled to be called my guest to
enjoy the shelter of my house and the
privilege of my daughter's society? Is
she doing right by herself nnd by me
in making him her friend not to speak
of anything more?"
"Let me look at the lctter"said Faith.
She held it in her trembling hands
trying to fix her mind upon the last
few sentences and to compare the
written words with those she had heard
her father pronounce; she turned to the
dnte and then she went back again to
the signature.
"Take it please" she said handing
it to her father. "I think there is not
much to choose among us."
"I don't know whnt you may m'an.
by that. .Include yourself if you think
"Faff Oreat neavenal Hare you opened my
letter?"
you must do so but stop there if you
please."
"I admit" said Faith "that he is not
what I thought him. I don't under-
stand. Wo seem to have all gone buck
to barbarism. As to the rest whether
I sent the message or whether it was
senthim falsely in my name It does not
mutter to me at least. Believe what
you like; we shall never know each
other any more. As your daughter I
have only one last thing to ask of you
money enough to take me back to my
mother's people."
"You shall have all the money you
want as you always have had; but as
to going back you nre crazy! Y'ou
can't go anywhere now unless you are
expecting a regiment of troops to es-
cort you."
At bedtime Faith was coming down
the long second-story passage when she
met Darcie walking toward her listless-
ly with a tired wandering step. He
knew that she had been with her father
nnd as he searched her pale downcast
face he saw that some new trouble was
upon her nnd his eyes were full of
love and beseeching sympathy. He
thought that she must have gone
3

through with enough since he had seen
her last to nccount for the change in
her sensitive expression. The question
of the moment with him was how he
best could help her. He held out his
left hand nnd waited for her to speak.
His look was utterance enough; but
she would not meet his eyes. She
swerved slightly away from him avold-
hls touch and as he railed her by name
In the tone that he used for no nnme
but hers she uttered just two words:
"Oh don'tl" There was no mistaking
the accent of repulsion nlmost of hor-
ror with which they were spoktm.
"What Ls this?" he asked straighten
ing himself Involuntarily under the
shock.
"Your letter!" she gasped. "Was It a
letter signed John. Darcie Hamilton?
Wns that the letter you asked me to
fetch that you were meaning to send
from this house?"
"Faith! Great Heavens! have you
opened my letter?"
She looked nt him dazedly not deny-
ing or attempting to reply; she was
thinking only of what he hnd done.
"It Is not possible!" he persisted in
a heart-broken voice. "Faith dear you
could not have read my letter! 1 will
neer believe you could do a thing like
that."
Then it came to her distinctly what
It was that he mennt nnd why he
looked at her In that strange manner.
Mas! whnt could It matter now? "My
faith for your faith" she cried wildly
and ran past him nnd shut herself Into
her room.
Darcie stood awhile stone-still where
she had left him; then he dragged him
self to his own room and sat upon the
side of his bed trying to renll.e this
Impossible thing. Yes she had doubted
him and had taken that way to satisfy
herself. What she thought of him now
that she had rend the letter was a small
thing compared with the loss he hnd
stiiTcred in losing his hnngc of her. lie
grew ery cold sitting there alone in
the dark and his wound wns ach'ng
heavily.
At length Wan came in with n pack-
age of medicine nnd a note from the
tlocjor who could not see bis pntlent
again that night as he had expected.
The note said:
"There is a row in town to-night;
most of our boys nre in It but they
will go back to the mine (with con-
siderable liquor aboard) about mid-
night. I think all things considered
you had better be conspicuous by your
absence. Wan will take you over to
my place where a friend will show
you to your new lodgings; they will
be on the ground floor. Wan ls 'ity.'
I send you something to make you
sleep."
"Oh yes" groaned Darcie; "I shall
sleep to-night!"
And Faith on her knees at her bed-
side was whispering brokenly: "Lover
and friend hast thou put far from me
and mine acquaintance into darkness
. . . thou hast made mean nbomino-
tion unto them!"
IX.
Tim SPARE BEDROOM AT THE DOC-
TOR'S. The doctor's house was one of tbe
earliest dwellings erected at tho mine.
It had been occupied at different times
by various officials of the Big Horn In-
cluding the manager himself before his
own. $0000 colonial residence was built;
iib mining-camp tenements go it was
considered a snug little box for a sin-
gle man.
In front were the doctor's office and
dispensary both opening upon a gal-
lery the long posts of which found
n footing part way down the gulch.
There was barely room at the back
of the house for n team to pass over
a platform of heavy planking tbnt
bridged the shallow chnsm between the
Kitchen door nnd the door of a fire-
proof cellnr tunneled into the hill.
It was to this rear entrance facing
the cellar that Wan conducted Darcie
on the evening of the 10th the front
or office door being locked nnd the
rooms within empty and darK The
house was shuttcrless but Wan did not
omit the precaution of drawing down
the green linen shades before lighting
a lamp.
Darcie listlessly accepting the doc-
tor's view of the situation together
w 1th any solution of it that might hnvo
occurred to his friendly ingenuity
tusked no questions of his guide; lie
eared as little what was to become of
him as nt that moment he cared for
his life; and after the. customary ac-
knowledgment of his serUce Wnn snld
good night and left him alone in the
doctor's kitchen.
The cat rose up from her bed and
patted softly across the floor to inquire
concerning a strauger's presence hump-
ing her sleepy back and purring inter-
rogatively. Darcie strokeu her with his
left baud but declined her next con-
fiding proposition to leap upon his
knees. She contluued to lavish feline
blandishments upon him undlscour-
aged by bis indifference passing and
repassing his chair to rub her sides
against his leg clutching the floor with
one spread paw and then the other
and breaking out into loud purring at
a casual look or a touch of his hand.
After n time she gave him up as an
Instrument of creature comfort and
went back to her carpet behind the
stove.
The wind sweeping down the gulch
brought with it the deep diapason of
the forest mingled with the fitful blare
of a stove-pipe funnel which dis-
coursed dismally from the roof. Long
taut iron wires braced tbe kltcheu
stove-pipe and these also had a voice
the jar and tremor of rude harpstrlngs
when the pent gusts smote them.
Darcie had sunk into a drenm so
deep that he did not hear at first and
then started on hearing the cautious
step of a heavy man endeavoring to
tread lightly on the sounding platform
outside and the touch of a groping
baud on the door.
"Is this" he queried wjlh himself
"the 'friend' who is to show me to my
night's lodging? .He does notcomc like
one who Is sure of his welcome." Then
his face broke into & smile at the sound
of Mike's well-known whistle a trifle
more guarded than usual with a rising
note of inquiry as if to ask: "Are you
there Darcie dear?"
Mike detected no change in the man-
ner of his partner nor at first in his
countenance more than his hurt and
tubscqucntly confinement might have
accounted for and they began to chaff
nnd berate each other in the language
in which men surprised into strong
feeling seek to conceal the same.
"Was ye expectln' me?" asked Mike
sinking his voice Into the depths of his
richest brogue. "Did (he docther tell
ye where 1 wns hid? I'll be bound ye
nlver axed lit in; for why wouldn't he
tell ye unlrsj the little gurl wns by? I
bet she was in It the heft o' tho time
nnd ye nlver gov 111c a thought. But we
betther be h'lstln' out nv this. Sure
I'm llvin' like Hobi'son Crusho In n cave

his hnnd the night I borrowed 0 lodgln'

yards was chasln' me t'rough the

Iny low Mike' snys he; 'there's bet-
ther men underground than some that's
on top.'
"An' now follow me Into mcdlggln's;

spreadin' me toes a bit underground
feelln' for daylight by the back way.
Up yon" ho added pointing generally
up the gulchsidc among the under
brush "is the back door nv me gopher-
bole. Hearts Is thrumps but spades Is
our long shiilt me lad."
Without more elucidation of the facts
conveyed In these mixed metaphors
Mike undid the hasp of the cellar door
and Darcie stooping followed him Into
a place where an odor of pine kindling-
wood mingled with that of freshly dug
enrth. i
"I put out me light becn'sc I'm not
keepln' a public" Miko explained.
"Stan' still In your thrncks till I fasten
the door nn' thin we'll see the color o'
night underground.

docther honest man he's good for free

It was after 11 o'clock nnd all was yet
silent outside so fnr as the denf and
dumb wnlln of the cellnr reported tho
sound of the night. Darcie was lying
on the pallet of boards and blnnkcts
that Mike hnd prepared for him broad
awake nnd staring in tho dnrkness.
Ills nrm was aching steadily and ho
was thinking thinking the black
thoughts of'grlef at night trying the
depths of his pnin nnd finding Ittcry
deep Indeed. He hnd forgotten all
about the doctor's poppy and man-
dragora. He stretched forth his hand
nnd felt Mike's shoulder nnd shook
the honest sleeper beside him.
"Make a light will you? I can't Ho
here in the dark" ho complained in nn
injured voice ns if Miko had several
times ond persistently refused him the
smnll boon of a. candle.
"What's the matter that ye cannot
sleep?" Mike inquired. "Is your nrm
hurtin ye bad?"
"Everything Is hurting me" Darcie
specified. "My nrm w'elghs n ton nnd
ctcry pound Is pulling on tho smnll of
my back nnd there's a sickish lump In
my chest that stifles me. Is it likely I
cnn sleep?"
"That's a quare mess nv symptoms ye
have. I snags I dunno whnt to mnke
nv it. Whisper Darcie!" Miko coaxed
lowering his tumultuous voice to a sen-
timental aside that might have been
heard barring the intervention of the
cellar-walls ncross the gulch. "Have
ye got it nil fixed wid your gurl? Aro
yo in It?"
"Don't talk to me" Darcie gronned
turning his face nwaj- from the cnndle
"Sure 'twas yourself that was talkin'.
What wob I sayln'? Div'l n word be
yond whnt's civil" Mike protested
rather sulkily. He lay silent watching
Darcie's face till he could bear Its
ebanged expression no longer.
"Oh bad luck to thlml Whnt was
ye doin' nnyhow that they fired yo
out on' you no betther nor a sick
cholldV
"Shut up!" shouted Darcie. "I fired
myself out."
"Mushu ye needn't be so mnd wid

from ye the way yo are; so pile it on.
But what I want to know is and I'm
bound to know it for I've me plans to

wo're ready to put out o' this?"
"She will not" said Darclo through
his set teeth.
"I dunno what she's made of thin"
said Mike indignantly. He felt himself
belittled in tho person of his partner
who had been foolish enough surely
nnd had risked enough for this particu-
lar girl to have met with nil possible
success. "Thim Ammerykln girls is
harrd as nails; I nlver seen wan o' that
small-walsted breed that had as much

nnd I thought by tho sob o' laughter In
her voice uud the trimble o' tears that

"Heaven save us Mike I wish you
could be quiet! I suppose you can't
though; your tonguo is hung in the

nround his sound arm and dragged it
over his head.

The gross enrntngs of American rail-
roads from freight arc substantially
the same as the running expenses.
There nre in this country nt present
nearly 200000 miles of rnili'oad and
the operating expenses nre about $800-
000000 n year. The freight receipts
nre substantially the samc$S00OO0-
000 a ye Ar. When times arc good com-
mercial operations are extensive busi-
ness is brisk nnd the demnnds for
transportation fncllltlcs are many the
freight receipts of American rnllroads
increase nnd along with them there
nre Increases in the. expenses of opera-
tion which usunlly keep pnec. When
business Interests languish nnd freight
receipts fall off there Is usunlly n cor-
responding reduction In operating ex-
penses so that it may be said that the
running expenses of Americnn rnll
roads gcncrnlly nre paid from freight
receipts nnd the other items of rev-
enue passenger receipts chiefly nnd
ninil receipts to n minor extent pny
the Interest on bonds the dividends
nnd the profits where there nre any.
It may be said generally tbnt tlio
railroad haIng u very lnrge r.nd
trndy passenger business Is other
things being equnl n paying road
whereas a railroad the business of
which ls chiefly freight Is other things
being equal not n source of profit
There arc very few rnllroads In the
United States which have Inrger earn-
ings from passengers than from
freight. One such road Is the New
York Xew Haven it Hartford which
by tho last official report took In $700-
000 more Inst year from passengers
thnn from freight nnd the New Haven
tnllrond is known gcncrnlly ns one of
tho most substantial rondsin the coun-
try. rnBhcnger business otf American
railroads is much less easily handled
than freight requiring constantly not
only new disbursements but outside
expenses ns well. Passengers on Amer-
ican rnllronds have come to expect not
only good but the best sen Ice. They
require too the highest rntc of speed
compatible with safety and ns much
and as good attention ns they could
secure In a flrst-class hotel. Moreover
the competition nmong American rail-
roads on the chief lines of travel is such
that liberal advertising is neeessnry
to direct public attention to the ben
efits oiTcred. The question Is some-
times asked why it lo thnt such Igor-
ous efforts nre made by railroad man-
agers to develop the passenger busi
ness in preference to freight traffic
but the explanation is to be found In
the fact that while the revenues from
the former aro usually regulated by
tho volume of business the passenger
receipts nre regulated generally by the
character of the service offered inde-
pendent of the condition of business.
Necessarily a railroad to enjoy n large
measure of passenger business must
be In very good physical condition nnd
for this reason some of the poorer
ronds are unnblc to compete success-
fully for passenger trade the trade
which pays the profit from operation
of American rnllroads $1000000 n day

THE CURSE OF ITALY.
Oiief i: tcr- Tito Hour the Ntllcttv
of the AffHiiHKltt Cllllma
lis Victim.
Throughout the kingdom of Italian
Italian kills nn Italian every two hours
during the entire year by means of the
knife. Such arc the official statistics
which were recently placed before me
by Baron Gnrofalo vice president and
leading spirit of the association which
under the presidency of Queen Mar-
guerite and the patronage of King
Humbert bus been formed to put down
homicide by depriving It of Its all too
concnIcnt and all too universal wrap-
on the accursed knife.
During the HG5 days of the year 1807
there were placed on record 0380 homi-
cides by menus of the knife a total be-
sides which the list of killed In the
sniigulnary bnttlcof Custoz.a.and even
In the holocaust of Abba Carlmn In
Abysstnln sinks Into Insignificance.
Ituly Is in fact engaged In n personal
war with herself which costs heron nn
average 5000 lives annually.
The league or association which has
just been formed under these royal
auspices has very rightly and cleverly
placed itself In communication with
the various labor unions nnd trade as-
sociations nnd among the first of the
Inbor associations to take up the mat-
ter with enthusiasm and with vigor has
been the Union of Associated Printers
which includes some of the most public-spirited
and energetic of the work-
Ingiuen of Koine.
The league likewise has secured a
promise from the premier (Jen. Pel-
loux to submit to the legislature w hen
it meets again a law rendering it 11
penal offense for nnyone to tarry one
of those knives with which in nearly
every case murder ls done in this
country.
In order to reulUe how utterly in-
adequate the tribunals have shown
themselves until now to put n stoji to
crime by means of the knife It may be
mentioned that the annual average of
homicides In Italy alone surpasses ttmt
of nil the rcmnlncdr of F.uropc put to-
