BEFORE TWINS
WERE BORH
Wat Very Miserable. Felt Lots
Better After Taking Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
Wyocena, Wisconsin. —“I took Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound be-
fore my twins were
bom because my sis-
ter used it and rec-
ommended it to me.
1 was so I could
scarcely go about my
daily work 1 was in
such misery. But af-
ter I began taking
the second bottle I
was feeling lots bet-
ter. I took three bot-
tles and a half before
__I was confined and
finished the bottle while I was in bed. I
got up feeling fine and have taken care
of the twins alone ever since. I recom-
mend the Vegetable Compound highly
and will sing its praises in the future.
—Mrs. Ida Gejuutz, Wyocena, YVis.
It is remarkable how many cases have
been reported similar to this one. Many
mothers are left in a weakened and
run-down condition afterchild-birth.and
for such mothers the care of the baby
is well-nigh impossible. Not only is it
hard for the mother, but the child itself
will indirectly suffer.
Lydia E. PinUham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is an excellent tonic for the
motherboth befare and after child-birth.
It is prepared from medicinal roots and
herbs, and does not contain any harm-
ful drugs. It can be taben in safety by
nursing mothers.

To Housewives
Patience Is bitter, but Its fruit Is
sweet.—Proverbs of Prance.
WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT
Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect It.
Women’s complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organa
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousnesa are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a physician’s pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle Imme-
diately from any drug store.
However, if ycu wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer 4r. Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this paper.—Advertisement.

"Monsleur gambles?" Gerald re-
marked. with an Inclination of his
head toward the man who was the
center of Interest.
The attendant turned around '.Ith
on expressive little nod.
“Yesterday he broke the hank,” he
whispered. “Today he enn do nothing
right."
"He Is losing, llien?"
The man’s grlinnce wns significant.
Gerald watched Ills own stnke swept
away and crossed lo u place behind
the Russian’s chair. In one of the In-
tervals, he leaned over and touched
him on the shoulder. The man took
no notice. Gerald whispered In his
ear.
"Madame de Ponlere awaits you at
the villa."
Zubin for a moment remnlne.1 per-
fectly still. When at last he turned
around, his face was gliustly. With
his strong arm, hp pushed hack some
one who Intervened.
“Who are you?” he demanded
“I am merely n messenger,’’ Gerald
replied. "I know no more thnn that
I wag asked to give you that word If
I saw you at the casino.”
The Russian rose slowly to his feet,
left one of the plaques to guard Ills
place, thrust a great pile of notes Into
his pocket, and led Gerald Into a cor-
ner.
“You have been spying on me. It
Is through you that mndame knows I
am In Monte Cnrlo.” ,
“On the contrnry,” Crerald reminded
him, “you yourself wrote a note to her
and dlsputcbed It by messenger from
Qlro’s.”
"This note was brought back—
mndame wns out." the innn d-dared.
"It was ..n accursed accident, that."
"One gnthers that you have not
been fortunate today," Gerald re-
marked, nfler a brief silence.
"That Is my own affair," was the
grim reply. "What I desire to know
Is how you hprinne acquainted with
these Indies to such on extent that
they Should appoint you as their mes-
senger."
“I do not recognize yonr right to
ask me questions.” Geraid asserted,
“hut. as a matter of run, my know!
edge of them Is of the slightest. Ac-
tually. I do not know them at all. I
happened to have a few minutes’ con-
versation with Mademoiselle de Po-
nlere. and . mentioned your winnings.
You will remember that I saw a letter
front yon lo tnadanie Inst night." -
Monsieur Zubin sut for u moment
deep In thought.
"Are you charged to deliver n reply
to this message?" he demanded.
“Certainly not." Oernld answered.
“I have no the privilege of visiting at
the villa."
"I should think not," the other
growled. “I wondered only whether
you had been told to take a message
to the b ck door."
“You nre a very Impertinent fellow,”
Oernld told him calmly. "You appear
to hnve come from a country where
manners have censed to exist."
The man laughed brutally.
“One puts off mnnners when one
deals with spies and meddlers," he de-
clared. “Get on nbout your hi. tineas."
He walked back and took his pine*
■t the table.
Oernld left the rooms a few minutes
Madame de Ponlere dismissed the
servants with a little wave of the
bund and looked thoughtfully for
few moments Into the fire of pine
logs which'had been kindled In the
grate.
“Pauline.” she said, “Zubin Is al-
ready four dnys Inte."
Pauline made no Immediate reply.
Her aunt pointed to an escritoire
which stood In a corner of the room.
“These people," she continued, “be-
come abusive. Even Lenore has sent
an account. You dispatched the tele-
gram ?"
“I dispatched the telegram," Paul-
ine assented, “but It was needless
Zubin Is here.”
"Here In Monte Carlo?” Madame de
Ponlere demnnded quickly.
“I hnve heard so," Puullne replied.
“My Information Is very sennty, but
I understand that he had sent you a
letter last night."
The pallor of the older woman’s
face seemed suddenly deepened. Her
eyes glittered ominously.
“Jeun spoke of n note that had been
brought and taken away," she mut
tered. “Tell me at once what you
know, Pauline."
“I have no definite Information.'
Pauline reiterated, "hut I understand
that he has been seen at the easlno."
Madame de Ponlere sat like a wom-
an who has received a shock. The
shadow of fear was upon her face.
“You do not know Zubin,” she
groaned. “If lie once smells the at-
mosphere of that place. It Is like a
deadly tlnig to hint. And be loses!
He always loses!”
She leaned over and struck a bell
which stood upon n tuble.
"The enr In a quarter of an hour,”
she ordered. “Pnullne, get ready. 'Ve
must seek Zubin. If he has begun to
gamble, lie will go on to the end.”
They drove first to the casmo.
where they explored only the Cer< le
Prlve. From there they went to the
Sporting club, where there was sllll
no sign of him. Madame de Ponlere
became more hopeful.
"He Is perhaps resting In his hotel,"
she said, "preparing to visit us.”
"He would ne'er come without
sending word beforehand.” Pauline re-
minded her.
They sat side hy side on one of tha
settees, two rather lonely and dis-
heartened women’fnce to face with
tragen... Pauline saw Gerald In ihe
distance und determined upon a bold
step.
“Aunt" she said, “there Is a young
man standing by Jhe easy chair there,
whose father lives at the adjoining
villa to onrs. He has once or twice
offered me some sinnli courtesies, lie
Is alone and I am sure he would he
glad to he useful. Let me send nlm
to the casino."
“Show him to me." Mndume de
Ponlere demanded.
Pnullne pointed him out Her aunt
sighed.
“One breaks n cherished trndltlon,
she said, "hut It must be done,
leave the mntter In your hands."
Ueruld and Christopher, strolling
round the room, came presently to
within a few feet of them. Gerald, bit-
terly though he resented It, was pass-
ing on after one swift glance at Pnul-
lne. She leaned over, however, aud
touched him on the arm.
“Lord Dombey.” she said, "my sunt
permits me to present you. Lord Dom-
bey—Mndame de Ponlere.'’
GefnId, token by surprise, bore the
shock well. He bowed low und mur-
mured a few polite words.
"I am ufrnld you will think that
we nre very mercenary," Pauline con-
tinued. “but we ure going to usk a
favor."
“It Is granted," Gerald assured her
swiftly.
“There Is o Russian gentleman in
Monte Cnrlo named Zubin."
"1 know him by sight." Oernld de-
clared. "Resides—”
“Then the rest is easy." Pnullne In-
terrupted. with a warning look. “Our
request Is thut you search the casino
for him. and. If he Is ihere. that you
bring him to tts.”
Gerald bowed.
“Mademoiselle,’’ lie promised. “If
he Is there, I will bring him to yon
within u quarter of an hour"
Gerald, on entering the casino,
made Ills way at once to the table at
the farther end. The sent wtrlch had
been occupied by Zubin, however was
vacant, though the table Itself was
crowded. He was on the point of
continuing Ills search In one of Ihe
otfier rooms, when he suddenly saw
the man of whom he wns In search
seuted on one of the sofas against the
wall. He made hla way thither at
once.
"Sir," he said, “I hnve brought
you n message from Madame de
Ponlere.’’
The Russian lifted his head. *nd

The Russian rose to his feet nnil ihe

"Might I suggest." Oernld said, as
they descended the steps of the ca
slim, "that you visit your hotel und
freshen up a little before you come to
the club?”
Zubin seemed suddenly to step down
front unother world. He looked va-
cantly ut Gernld for n moment, at his
smoothly brushed hair. Ills well-cut

with a little start, he glanced at him-
