THAT
AWFUL
BACKACHE
Cured by Lydia E. Pinknam's
Vegetable Compound
Morton's Gap,. Kentucky.—"I sul-
fered two years with female disorders,
my health was very
bad and I had a
continual backache
which was simply
awful. I could not
stand on my feet
long enough to cook
a meal's victuals
without my back

(and I would have
such dragging sen-
sations I could

liad soreness in each side, could not
fitand tight clothing, and was irregular.
I was completely run down. On ad-
vice 1 took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound and l.iver Pills and
am enjoying good health. It is now
more than two years and I have not
had an ache or pain since I do all my
own work, vashing and everything,
and never have the backache any more.
I think your medicine is grand and I
f raise it to all my neighbors. If you
hink my testimony will help others
you may publish it."—Mrs. Ollie
Woodall, Morton's Gap, Kentucky.
Backache is a symptom of organic
weakness or derangement. If you
have backache don't neglect it. To
get permanent relielf you must reach
the root of the trouble. Nothing we
know of will do this so surely as Lydia

SYNOPSIS.
Senator John Calhoun la invited to be-
eome secretary of state in Tyler's cab-
inet. He declares that If he accepts TVxas
and Oregon must be added to the Union.
He sends his secretary, Nicholas Trist, to
ask the Baroness von Ritz. spy of the
Hrltish ambassador. Pakenham, to call at
his apartments. While searrliintf for the
baroness' home, a carriage drives up and
Nicholas is invited to ent«-r The occupant
Is the baroness, and she asks Nicholas to
assist in evading pursuers. Nicholas notes
that the baroness has lost a slipper. She
gives hlni the remaining slipper as a
pledge that she will tell Calhoun what he
wants to know regarding EnKland's in-
tentions toward Mexico. As security
Nicholas gives her a trinket he intended
for his sweetheart. Elizabeth Churchill.
Tyler tells Pakenham that Joint occupa-
tion of Oregon with England, must cense,
that the west has raised the cry of "Fif-
ty-four Forty, or Fight." Calhoun be-
comes secretary of state. He orders
Nicholas to Montreal on state business,
and the latter plans to be married that
I night. The baroness says she will try to
I pn-vent the marriage. A drunken con-
| gressman whom Nicholas asks to assist
in the wedding arrangements, sends the
baroness* slipper to Elizabeth, by mis-
I take, and the wedding is declared off.
I Nicholas finds the baroness in Montreal,
she having succeeded, where he failed, in
discovering England's intentions regard-
ing Oregon. She tells him that the slip-
per he had in his possession contained a
note from tin* attache of Texas to the
British ambassador, saying that if the
United States did not annex Texas with-
in 30 days, she would lose both Texas and
Oregon. Nicholas meets a naturalist. Von
Rlttenhofen, who gives him information
about Oregon. The baroness and a British
warship disappear from Montreal simul-
taneously. Calhoun engages Von Ritten-
hofen to make maps of the western coun-
try.. Calhoun orders Nicholas to head a
party of settlers bound for Oregon.
WAS JUST COPYING MAMMA
Child's Actions That at First My
tified Father Were Easily
Explained.
The little six-year-old daughter of a
well-known elub woman was found in
her play room the other day dong all
Mnds of acrobatic stunts and gesticu-
lating wildly and weirdly.
"What are you doing?" asked the
child's father.
"I'm playing I'm mamma," she an-
swered. Then she made more unique
movements with her little arms and
eald, "There, father, you accept them.
That's what they do when mamma
makes them."
"What shall I accept?" asked the
father, still more mystified, "and what
does mamma make? Tell me what
you are doing."
"Why," she said, "I'm playing that
f am mamma at her club. Whenever
mamma goes to her club she makes
motions and the others accept them.
I heard her say so over the telephone
to Mrs. Smith this morning."—Illus-

The duchess was once taking part In I
Home amateur theatricals at Ragaz

mother:
"Is she a real duchess?"
"Yes, my, dear," the mother, a

but machine made."
CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother's Food and Drink.
Many babies have been launched
Into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth-
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care-
ful as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is a case in point:
"I was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I could not do with-
out it. But I found at last It was do-
ing me harm. For years I had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain In my heart, to
which was added, two years later, a
chronic sour stomach.
"The baby was born 7 months ago,
and almost from the beginning, It, too,
suffered from sour stomach. Sho was
taking it from me!
"In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk. I have since ascer-
tained that. it really dries up the milk.
"So, I quit coffee and tried tea and
at. last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results. It proved
to be the very thing I needed. It not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but It Increased the flow of
my milk.
"My husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well of
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. I no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain In my
heart or sour stomach
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husKind to my seven months' old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best,
coffee we ever drank." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

CHAPTER XXI.—Continued.
Her face was half hidden by her
fan, and her eyes, covered by their
deep lids, gave no sign of her
thoughts. The same cold voice went
on:
"You might, for instance, tell Mr.
Polk, which is to say Mr. Van Zandt,
that if his name goes on this little
treaty for Texas, nothing will be said
to Texas regarding his proposal to
give Texas over to England. It might
not be safe for that little fact gen-
erally to be known in Texas as it is
known to me. We will keep it secret.
You might ask Mr. Van Zandt if he
would value a seat in the senate of
these United States, rather than a
lynching rope! So much do I value
your honorable acquaintance with Mr.
Polk and Mr. Van Zandt, my dear
lady, that I do not go to the latter and
demand his signature in the name of
his republic—no, I merely suggest to
you that did you take this little treaty
for a day, and presently return it to
me with his signature attached, 1
should feel so deeply gratified that I
should not ask you by what means
you had attained this most desirable
result! And I should hope that if you
could not win back the affections of a
certain gentleman, at least you might
win your own evening of the scales
with him."
Her face colored darkly. In a flash
she saw the covert allusion to the
faithless Pakenham. Here was the
chance to cut him to the soul. She
could cost England Texas! Revenge
made its swift appeal to her savage
heart. Revenge and jealousy, han-
dled coolly, mercilessly as weapons—
those cost England Texas!
She sat, her fan tight at her white
teeth. "It would be death to me if it
were known," she said. Hut still she
pondered, her eye alight with somber
fire, her dark cheek red in a woman's
anger.
"But it never will be known, my
dear lady. These things, however,
must be concluded swiftly. We have
not time to wait. Let us not argue
over the unhappy business. Let me
think of Mexico as our sister republic
and our friend!"
"And suppose I shall not do this
that you ask, senor?"
"That, my dear lady, I do not sup-
pose!"
"You threaten, Senor Secretary?"
"Ou the contrary, I implore! Dear
lady, may we not conspire together—
for the ultimate good of three repub-
lics, making of them two noble ones,
later to dwell in amity? Shall we not
hope to see all this continent swept
free of monarchy, held free, for the
peoples of the world?"
For an Instant, no more, she sat and
pondered. Suddenly she bestowed
upon him a smile, whose brilliance
might have turned the head of an-
other man. Rising, she swept him a
curtsey whose grace I have not seen
surpassed.
In return, Mr. Calhoun bowed to her
with dignity and ease, and, lifting her
hand, pressed It to his lips. Then, of-
fering her an arm, he led her to his
carriage. I could scarce believe my
eyes and ears that so much, and of so
much importance, had thus so easily
been accomplished, where all had
seemed so near to the impossible.
CHAPTER XXII.
But Yet a Woman.

"But May I Not See Your Father and Have My Chance Again?"
order to acquaint him somewhat with
our governmental machinery and to
put him in touch with seme of the
sources of information to which ho
would need to refer in the work upon
which he was now engaged. We had
spent a couple of hours together, and
were passing across the capitol, with
the intent of looking in upon the de-
liberations of the houses of congress,
when all at once, as we crossed the
corridor, I felt him touch my arm.
"Did you see that young lady?" he
asked me. "She looked at you, yess?"
1 was In the act of turning, even as
he spoke. Certainly had 1 been alone
I would have seen Elizabeth, would
have known that she was there.
It was Elizabeth, alone, and hurry-
ing away! Already she was approach-
ing the first stair. In a moment she
would be gone. I sprang after her by in-
stinct, without plan, clear in my mind
only that she was going, and with her
all the light of the world; that she
was going, and that she was beautiful,
adorable; that she was going, and that
she was Elizabeth!
As I took a few rapid steps toward
her, I had full opportunity to see that
no g;ief had preyed upon her comeli-
ness, nor had concealment fed upon
her damask cheek. Almost with some
resentment 1 saw that she had never
seemed more beautiful than on this
morning. The costume of those days
was trying to any but a beautiful
woman; yet Elizabeth had a way of
avoiding extremes which did not ap-
peal to her individual taste. Her frock
now was all in pink, as became the
gentle spring, and the bunch of sil-
very ribbons which fluttered at her
belt had quite the agreeing shade to
finish in perfection the cool, sweet pic-
ture that she made
"Elizabeth!"
Seeing that there was no escape,
she paused now and turned toward
me. I have never seen a glance like
hers
"How do you do?" she remarked.
Her voice was all cool white enamel.
She was there somewhere, but I
could not see her clearly now. It
was not her voice. I took her hand,
yes; but it had now none of answer-
ing clasp.
"Elizabeth," I began; "I am just
back. I have not had time—I have
had no leave from you to come to see
you—to ask you—to explain—"
"Explain?" she said evenly
"But surely you cannot believe that
I—"
"I only believe what seems credible,
Mr. Trist."
I pulled from my pocket the little
ring which I had had with me that
night when I drove out to Elumhurst
in my carriage, the one with the sin-
gle gem which I had obtained hurried-
ly that afternoon, having never before
that day had the right to do so. In
another pocket I found the plain gold
one which should have gone with the
gem ring that same evening. My hand
trembled as I held these out to her.
"1 prove to you what I mean. Here!
I had no time! Why, Elizabeth, I was
hurrying—I was mad!—I had a right
to offer you these things. I have still
the right to ask you why you did
not take them? Will you not take
them now?"
She put my hand away from her
gently. "Keep them," she said, "for
the owner of that other wedding gift
—the one which I received."
Now 1 broke out. "Good God! How
can I be held to blame for the act of
a drunken friend? You know Jack
Dandridge as well as I do myself. I
cautioned him—1 was not responsible
for his condition."
"It was not that decided me."
"You could not believe it was I who
sent you that accursed shoe which be-
longed to another woman."
"He said it came from you. Where
did you get it, then?"
Now, as readily may be seen, I was
obliged again to hesitate. There were
good reasons to keep my lips sealed.
I flushed. The red of confusion which
came to my cheek was matched by
that of indignation in her own. I
could not tell her, and she could not
understand, that my work for Mr. Cal-
houn with that other woman was
work for America, and so as sacred
and as secret as my own love for
her. Innocent, I still seemed guilty.
"So, then, you do not say? I do not
ask you."
"I do not deny it."
"You do not care to tell me where
you got it."
"No," said I; "I will not tell you
where I got it."
"Why?"
"Because that would involve another
woman."
"Involve another woman? Do you
think, then, that on this one day of
her life, a girl likes to think of her—
her lover—as Involved with any other
woman? Ah, you made me begin to
think. I could not help the chill that
came on my heart. Marry you?—I
could not! I never could, now."
"But you loved me once," I said
banally.
"I do not consider it fair to mention
that now."
"I never loved that other woman. 1
had never seen her more than once.
You do not know her." 4
"Ah, is that it? Perhaps I could tell
you something of one Helena von
Ritz. Is it not so?"
"Yes, that was the property of
Helena von Ritz," I told her, looking
her fairly in the eye.
"Kind of you, indeed, to involve me,
as you say, with a lady of her prece-
dents!"
"I hardly think any one is quite just
to that lady," said I slowly.
"Except Mr. Nicholas Trist! A beau-
tiful and accomplished lady, I doubt
not, in his mind."
Still I went on stubbornly: "But
may I not see your father and have
my chance again? I cannot let it go
this way. It is the ruin of my life."
But now she was advancing, drop-
ping down a step at a time, and her
face was turned straight ahead. The
pink of her gown was matched by the
pink of her cheeks. 1 saw the little
working of the white throat wherein
some sobs seemed stilling. And so
she went away and left me.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Success in Silk.
As things are, I think women are gen-
erally better creatures than men.— S. T.
Coleridge.
It was a part of my duties, when in
Washington, to assist rnr chief lu his
personal and official correspondence, j
which necessarily was very heavy.
This work we customarily began about I
nine of the morning. On the following !
day I was 011 hand earlier than usual. 1
I was done with Washington now,
done with everything, eager only to
be ofT on the far trails once more.
But I almost forgot my own griefs '
when I saw my chief. Over him hung
an air of utter weariness; yet, shame
to my own despair, energy showed In
all his actions. He greeted me with a j
smile which strangely lighted his grim 1
face.
"We have good news of some kind j
this morning, sir?" I inquired.
In answer, he motioned me to a
document which lay open upon his
table. It was familiar enough to me. !
1 glanced at the bottom. There were
two signatures!
"Texas agrees!" I exclaimed. "The
Dona Lucrezla has won Van Zandt'a
signature!"
I looked at him. His own eyes were
swimming wet! This, then, was that j
man of whom it is only remembered
that he was a pro-slavery champion.
"We are certain to encounter oppo-
sition. The senate may not ratify,"
said he. "I am perfectly well ad-
vised of how the vote will be when
this treaty comes before It for rati-
fication. We will bo beaten, two to
one!"
"Then, does that not end it?"
"End it? No! There are always
other ways. If the people of tills coun-
try wish Texas to belong to our flag,
she will so belong. It Is good as dona
today. Never look at the obstacles;
look at the goal! It was this intrigue
of Van Zandt's which stood in our
way. By playing one intrigue against
another, we have won thus far. We
must go on winning!"
He paced up and down the room,
one hand smiting the other. "I^et Eng-
land whistle now!" he exclaimed ex-
ultantly. "We shall annex Texas, In
full view, indeed, of all possible con-
sequences. There can be no conse-
quences, for England has no excuse
left for war over Texas. I only wish
the situation were as clear for Ore-
gon. And now comes on that next
nominating convention, at Baltimore."
"What will it do?" I hesitated.
"God knows. For me, I have no
party. I am alone! I have but few
friends In all the world"—he smiled
now—"you, my boy, as I said, and Dr.
Ward and a few women, all of whom
hate each other."
I remained silent at this shot,
which came home to me; but he
smiled, still grimly, shaking his head.
"Rustle of silk, my boy, rustle of silk
—it Is over all our maps. But we
shall make these maps! Time shall
bear me witness."
"Then I may start soon for Ore-
gon?" I demanded.
"You shall start to-morrow," ho an-
swered.

CHAPTER XXIV.
The Whoahaw Trail.
There are no pleasures where women
are not.—Murie de Roraba.
In our own caravan, now pressing
on for the general movement west of
the Missouri, there was material for a
hundred canvases. The world of our
great western country was then still
before us. A stern and warlike people
was resolved to hold it and increase
it. Of these west bound 1 rrow was
one. I felt the Joy of that thought. I
was going west..
The old trail to Oregon waB laid
out by no government, arranged by 110
engineer, planned by no surveyor, sup-
ported by no appropriation. It sprang,
a road already created, from the earth
itself, covering 2,000 miles of our
country. Why? Because there was
need for that country to be covered
by such a trail at such a time. Be-
cause we needed Oregon.
We carried with us all the elements
of society, as has the AngloSaxon
ever. Did any man offend against the
unwritten creed of lair play, did lie
shirk duty when that meant danger
to the common good, then he was
brought before a council of our lead-
ers, men of wisdom and fairness,
choscn by the vote of all; and so he
was judged and he was punished. At
that time there was not west of the
Missouri river any one who could ad-
minister an oath, who could execute
a legal document, or perpetuate any
legal testimony; yet with us the law
inarched pari passu across the land.
We had leaders chosen because they
were lit to lead, and leaders who felt
full sense of responsibility to those
who chose them.
At the head of our column, we bore
the flag of our republic. On our flanks
were skirmishers, like those guarding
the flanks of an army. It was an
army—an army of our people. With
us marched women. With us marched
home. That was the differenco be-
tween our cavalcade and that slower
and more selfish ono, made up of men
alone, which that same year was
faring westward along the upper
reaches of the Canadian plains. That
was why we won. It was becaunf
women and plows were with us.
