3 B N D F O R , TRIAL BOX Head What a Patient says of it,
"The Pastilles I purchased from yon In August ; iirove to me most conclusively that "while there 13
lie there is hope." They did their work far be-yond
my utmost expectations, for I certainly did
not expect that a habit of FOURTEEN YESES'
DURATION could be completely gotten under con-trol
in the exceedingly short time of two months
I can assure you that no false modesty will keep me
from doing all that I can in adding to the success
which will surely crown so beneficial a remedy.''

3 0 8 MARKET ST., P h i l a d ' a. i. Write to jae ioi Jiaae of jieaiest Agent-
"JSTo, Herbert, I can't do i t . You
will have to get out of this difficulty
by yourself. It is useless my going to
your father any more ; he said the last
time he would never again cripple him-self
by paying your debts. His mind
is mad6 up about i t ; and even if it
wasn't, I know he has not got the
money. As for me, you know I have
not.''
"Then what on earth am I to do ?"
inquired the Hon. Herbert Farnham.
"The Jews will do no more for me.
I 'm 'broke,' and t h a t ' s the truth. They
say there's a baronet working down at
the docks, glad of three shillings a day
when he c an get it. I suppose I shall
come to that I"
Lady Chetwynd looked at her favor-ite
son and smiled a little. It was a
funny picture that of this grand crea-ture,
resplendent with the beauties oi
nature appropriate to a "masher," and
adorned by clothes perfectly built,
working at anything but the obtaining
as much" amusement as possible out of
life. The smile was but transient on
Lady Chetwynd's handsome face; it
died away soon, and she fell into pro-found
thought. Presently she said- very
gravely, '-There is your Aunt Mar-garet."
"What of her ? " inquired the Hon.
Herbert, looking up from his admirable
boots, which he had been studying at-tentively,
possibly wondering whether
the hundred well-cut pairs that stood
in liis dressing room would be of any
use to wear out when he was a dock
laborer, or whether it might become
necessary to have a sale of his personal
belongings.
"Well—I know she is in England.
She ¥/.rote and told me so, in fact. And
it has occurred to me, once or twice,
to wonder whom she will leave all her
money t o . "
"Has she no one?" inquired the
Hon. Herbert quickly.
"No one a t all, I believe ; absolutely
no one. She was an only child, and
with no near relatives, when she mar-ried
your uncle fieorge. That is how
she came to be sole heiress to such an
enormous fortune."
"Made out of sausages wasn't it ? "
"Oh, no ; nothing worse than pickles
and jam. I ' d have forgiven her the
source of her money, for, her father
being dead when she married, it might
all have been forgotten ; but I found it
difficult to forgive her for being herself.''
"What's the matter with her ? " ask-ed
the Hon. Herbert.
"Well—'" said Lady Chetwynd, hes-itating
a little, "she's—vulgar—and
rather flighty. She never seemed to
bagood enough for George."
' -"Why did he marry t e r then ?"
"Git, as for t h a t , " answered Lady
Chetwynd, her color, rising slightly,
" 1 believe he married her for her
money. I can imagine no other rea-son."
:
" A h ! " said her son ; "then she's
been married twice for the same rea-son,
I suppose ? "
" Y e s , " observed Lady Chetwynd,
" t h a t second marriage made me more
angry with her than ever. Now her
second husband is dead, I really wish
she would call herself Mrs. Rolleston
again, .instead of going about as the
Princess Droguca."
''Never niind," said the Hon. Her-bert;
"as t he Prince cleared out with-out
squandering her money at cards I'll
forgive hijn his sins and even speak re-spectfully
of his memory. Now tell me
where to find my Aunt Margaret, the
Princess Droguca. Surely I must have
inherited some of those fascinating
powers you and Uncle,George seem
to have possessed in common; I will
try them on her. I will be humble, du-tiful,
the most exemplary of nephews.
I will carry her prayer-hook to-church
and nurse her poodle. Most elderly la-dies
have some monomania or other. I
3yill discover hers and feed it. You
will hardly know me if you should see
me at her side, so full of humility and
decorum shall I be."
Lady Chetwynd smiled and sighed at
once. "I have no idea what she is like
now," she said, " i t is a l o n g time since
I have not seen her—many a long year
—never since George died, in fact. She
was.not pious then; perhaps she is now.
You will find her at the Clairvilie at
" I ' v e heard of that establishment,"
said the Hon. Herbert thoughtfully;
"a. queer place for an elderly lady.
However, 1 dare say she knows no bet-ter.
Give me a line of introduction to
her, and I ' l l run down at once. I
shan't mindigoing to Seagate just now;
it's superb weather, and lots of people
there."
Lady Chetwynd, looking thoughtful
as she did so, wrote a very Brief note
and handed it^-to her son, who started
off immediately. He was in such an
exceedingly "tight place" just now that
he would have gone a much longer jour-ney,
at equally short notice, if thereby
he might discover an elderly aunt with
money,
Seagate was looking glorious; and
the gayety of the place and people, the
freshness of the air, and the brilliant
coloring of the sea and sky, made the
Hon. Herbert feel "very young and de-lightful."
He resolved to lunch at a
restaurant, take a turn on the prome-nadej
and smoke a cigar on t h e pier be-fore
going to Clairvilie. , H e fancied
.hat he would then be refreshed, and so
etter able to enter thoroughly into t/i
role of dutiful nephew which he pro-posed
to play.
He lunched well, lit his cigar and
started in search of half an hour's re-creation.
He did not go f a r before he
found what he was in search of; he met
•with a lady so surprising to look at that
the mere sight of her recreated him.
He proceeded to stare steadily at her
and to take note of all her " p o i n t s"
carefully. She was a little creature,
well formed, with pretty feet and hands;
the feet, clad in wondrous high-heeled
boots t h a t were very high, but did not
meet at all in front; the lacing displayed
crimson open-worked silk stockings.
The little figure wasp-waisted, was
dressed in the most extravagant of
French checks—the sort of costume de-vised
by the Parisian intellect for Eng-lishwomen
who are "fondof dress." A
mass of blondes and frizzled hair en-circled
a small face which was admirably
well-painted; only the usual mistake
was made—the thing was overdone, and
thus the possibility of deception destroy-ed.
The lady's hat and parasol each de-serve
a page of description, they were
so surprising. The whole thing aston-ished
and delighted the Hon. Herbert.
This young gentleman had a good deal
of the "knight of the pavement" in
him; if a pretty girl gave him a glance
of encouragement he was capable of
walking after her quite a mile in t he
hope of adventure. The lady he now
saw before him had "encouragement"
writ in large characters all over her,
thanks to her costume, and her plaintive
blue eyes repeated the word. She stood
quite alone by the rail at the edge of
the sea walk, looking at the passers by.
She soon became as much interested in
Herbert as he was in her. She slowly
walked towards the pier and went on to
it. The Hon. Herbert followed her,
passed and repassed her.
At the end of the pier there were some
sheltered secluded seats. The lady walk-ed
on to these slowly—for no one could
walk fast in sugh boots as hers—chose
one with much deliberation, sat down,
and straightway dropped her parasol.
Of course Herbert was at hand to pick
it up. Then he sat down by her, and
for half an hour they looked a t the blue
sea and talked. She amused him very
much. She never smiled, but said the
most spicy and piquant things in a small,
high-pitched voice, looking straight at
him the while. Herbert knew very well
how to look admiration, and he found
that she understood the look perfectly,
but also that she appreciated a little
more open flattery. This made it very,
plain sailing, and Herbert found himself
much less bored than usual during a
flirtation. The little lady being so ex-pressively
pronounced it was difficult to
feel bored until one had seen all her ex-travagances.
At last he rose. "I must go," he
said; "it is hard, but I must. Do
you come on the pier in the evening?"
" Y e s , " she answered immediately,
"about ten o'clock."
"Then I shall stay m Seagate till to-morrow,"
said Herbert gallantly, and
left her. :
Then, assuming a business-like
manner, he walked ofE to the Clairvilie,
meditating all the way on the mode in
which he should address his aunt.
After turning the maiter over and over
in his mind he resolved to t r u s t to t he
inspiration of the moment, and to
follow her lead very carefully till he
knew how to humor her.
On his way a hired carriage passed
him; in it sat the little lady whom he
fully intended to meet upon the pier to-night.
She gave him a glance from
under her wonderful parasol; such a
look—seductive, full of invitation.
" I believe she is as old a s the hills,"
reflected Herbert; but she is marvel-lously
made up, and very funny. What
a catastrophe if she should live at the
Clairvilie!"
He arrived at the hotel—a fine house,
standing in pretty grounds, and ten-anted
principally by people who lived
en pension; people who seemed to havo
no home of their own anywhere; whe
were exceedingly sociable and very
merry. On the broad ter ace upou
which the front door opened, a number
of people were talking and laughing;
the hour of afternoon tea had brought
them to the house. In the midst of a
small crowd of gentlemen stood the
little lady; evidently she was a favorite.
Herbert quickly passed the group, look-ing
the other way the while. He en-tered
the hall, and, findin g a waiter,
asked for the Princess Droguca. He
was shown into a small drawing room.
Two minutes later the little lady
came in and looked at him with some
surprise: "You have asked for me?"
she said; "you know my name!"
The awful truth flashed upon him.
For one wild moment he thought of
sinking his identity—of escaping with-out
telling her who he was. But he
had not time to think it out—he was
confused, stammered something—and
then in despair handed her his mother's
note.. She opened it deliberately, read
it at a glance, and threw it carelessly
on a table. He fancied his doom wa&
sealed; took up his hat and prepared to
go. But he felt he owed it to himself
to apologize; he did so, profusely.
She interrupted him with her slight
shrill voice, looking straight at him
with those plaintive blue eyes, which
were so full of candid hunger for
admiration.
"What are you apologizing so much
f o r ? " she said. "It is the first compli-ment
your family has ever paid me.
Come into the other room; I must have
some t e a ."
She put her hand on his arm and led
him away, iror the first time in his
life Herbert was at a loss what to say
or what to do. But a t last he succeed-ed
in taking her cue; it seemed funny
to flirt with one's aunt, but he did it.
And she paid his debts. Probably
she will leave him her money.
O l d A « e.
Old age is part of the life history of
the organism. There is that in the
child at birth which determines very
nearly when old age shall appear. Seni-lity
is a failure of nutrition. We can
only xlelay its appearance by living a
life which puts no undue strain on the
organism and hy furnishing it with the
easiest means of Working. We cannot
expect to accomplish this end simply by
cutting off certain deleterious supplies.
If one would live long let him especially
take care of his "master tissues," the
muscle and nerve, when young. This
means rational exercise of body and a
well-balanced cultivation of mind.
Brain-workers live long; brain and
muscle workers longer still. No one
has yet given better advice for the re-tarding
of old age than did Christopher
Hufeland a eentury ago. Let those
who wish old age study him and put no
trust in distilled water..
A Walk on tilo Ico.
"Talk about Paul lievero's midnight
r i d e , " said Mrs Nixon, complacently
gazing around the small circle of ad-miring
nephews and nieces who had
gathered at her hospitable house for the
holidays, "Midnight ride, indeedl 1
wonder if Paul Revere ever walked
across the frozen Hudson under t te
circumstances that I did?"
Now, all knew - t h a t Mrs. Nixon
dearly loved to tell a story, and as her
tales were usually interesting, they
never failed to indulge her hobby. And
this occasion was no exception.
"Tell us all about i t , " cried, a chorus
of voices, and the whole party clustered
closer around the old lady.
• "Well," said Aunt Nixon, folding
her withered hands in her lap, and
smiling amiably on the eager, upturned
faces. "It is just thirty years ago to-night
that Uncle Nixon and I had a:
most startling adventure. He was at
that time one of the directors of the
13 Bank, and when there was a
large sum of money—about £10,000—to
be collected in New York City, a hun-dred
and ' fifty miles away, Who but he
should be sent to fetch it. It was ar-ranged
that he should go down on Mon-day
and return on Saturday, and as the
sum was large, George Doldrum, an
employe of the bank, was to meet him
in the city on Friday night and accom-pany
him back.
"Well, when Uncle Nixon told me
about it, I somehow felt that I must go
with him. As you all know, I was
something of a beauty in those days,
and a week's shopping in New York
with theatre-going and sight-seeing was
a grand thing for me.
"So I begged and teased, and as Un-cle
Nixon could never say 'no' to me, I
packed up my t r u nk and started with
him, bright and early on Monday morn-ing.
The week passed pleasantly enough
and by Friday night all my shopping
was finished, Uncle Nixon's business
was concluded, and the 110,000 was
safely packed m a little black leather
hand-bag. But no George Doldrum ap-peared,
" 'Perhaps he's been delayed,' said
uncle to me, 'we will have to wait and
take a train to-morrow morning,
"But the next morning he did not-come
either, and as the money had to
be in the bank that night, we were
obliged to start on the afternoon train
without him. I could see uncie was
anxious about this matter, for thirty
years ago $10,000 was considered a big
sum, and we would not reach L ,
where we had to take the ferry to cross
the river to our town, until late that
night.
"The weather, which had been un-usually
mild in the early part of the
week, had grown bitterly eold on
Thursday, and if the xdver was frozen
and the ferry stopped, we should be
forced to drive across the ice. This
was an unpleasant prospect, considering
the money we had on our persons, and
the fact that L — - was not noted for
the honesty of its inhabitants*
" i t s station-master, among others,
had a most unsavory reputation, and
was known to be an arrant knave.
"Before we left New York we tele-graphed
to our coachman to meet us at
the depot, and this was the only precau-tionary
measure we could take. We
had tried to keep the fact of our having
the . money as quiet as possible, but it
seemed, nevertheless, to have leaked
out, for I had noticed two rough-looking
men dogging us all Saturday morning,
and taking seats right back of us on the
tram.
"Uncle noticed this too, but he put a
bold 1'aee on the matter, so as to reas-sure
ine, and laughed and joked all the
way as merrily as you please. Yet he
kept his eyes on those men for all t h a t .
"Well, it was about eight o'clock
when we reached L-—1—, and as we
had anticipated. the river lay before us
a glittering sheet of ice. The .moon was
up full and bright and the foot-path on
the mirror-like surface sparkled like a
huge silver snake. But no horse-track
was visible and our cutter was not
there.
"Uncle beckoned to the station-mas-ter,
who was talking in a low tone on
the edge of the platform to those two
suspicious-looking men.
" 'Silas,' said he, 'have you seen my
cutter?'
" 'No sir,' answered t h e station mas-ter.
' I don't think Tom would venture
over the river. The ice is all very well
for footers, but it ain't strong enough
to bear a sleigh. Maybe if you're cros-sing,
you'll leave your luggage'—with
another grin—'you'll find it rather in-convenient
when you're picking your
way, for it's mighty rough.'
" 'Walking is safe, you say,' was all
uncle replied to him. Then turning to
me he said :
' " D o you think you can manage it,
Fannie?'
" ' O h , yes,' I answered cheerfully,
and we started without more ado, uncle
carrying the leather bag under his arm.
When we had gotten on a little way
and could see those two men skulking
off from the shore after us, uncle said
to me in a low voice:
" ' I don't think therfe's a bit of dan-ger.
It's a bright moonlight night. I
am sure those men would not dare at-tack
us on the ice. However, I have
both my pistols with me. "
"And sufe enough in his right hand
—I was clinging to his left arm under
which he carried the bag—I saw the
glittering barrels,
' " A r e you afraid,. Fannie?" he
asked.
" 'Oh, no,' I responded bravely, al-though
I was shaking with terror.
'And, John, if you will give me one of
them, I will take care of it until you
need i t . '
"He handed i t to me: without a word
and we waited on rapidly in silence.
After a while he bade me watch the
men while he picked our way along. It
was bittetly Cold, and I was half frozen
in spite oi my f u r s and my wrappings.
The fellows still kept a good distance
in our rear, neither gaining on u s or
losing, and I had almost begun to think
we had wrongly suspected them, when
as we neared the shore an exclamation
from uncle caused me to look up,
" '.I understand their tactics, the
villains,' he muttered—and following
his eyes, I saw too. The path which
we had taken, instead of- leading to the
landing a t D———, on account of the
ice being thin and broken there, made
a detour for nearly a mile, and reached
the shore at a point where the woods
were thick and unbroken. A footpath
wound circuitously through them which
I knew was three-quarters of a mile in
length before striking the main street.
I t would be a very easy matter to over-take
and murder us amid those large
sombre'trees where neither the light or
ray of the moon ever penetrated. I
was faint and sick with terror, and" as
we stepped on firm ground I looked back
involuntarily. The men were quicken-ing
their pace. Uncle glanced at the
priming of - his pistol:
" ' M y God!', he groaned, a second
later, paling terribly, 'they are unloaded
and I have no ammunition.' But regain-ing
his composure, lie said, hurriedly,
'Fannie, this is a matter of. life and
;death. I was mad to put you in this
danger, but there is no time for regrets.-
We've got to put our trust in Provi-dence
and our heels. We must run:
there, take the bag, hide it- under you:
cloak and if- i t comes to t h e worst, go
on without me. You understand me, r
Now, quick!' . -'
"We flew onward as fast as our legs
could carry us. I lmd always been ac-counted,
light of toe, and had taken.
pride in my pretty, small feet, but I
never knew their" value before. '
"On, on we (lew. We had a good
start and we kept pur . advantage at
first. Once my breath nearly failed mo,
but uncle's strong arm was ahout my
waist and he almost carried me along.
But soon we could hear -the. pursuing
footsteps more and more distinctly.
Suddenly the opening on the main
street , came in view and. with a terrible.
effort we reached it. As we aid so
several laborers came along the highway
and at their sight our pursuers who
were but a few yards behind, and were
brandishing kpives, fell back witii hor-rible
curses among the trees. I was
carried to the bank greatly-exhausted
and was afterward carried home.
"The bank directors were much
amazed at our arrival j for George Dol-drum
had received a dispatch signed
with my husband's name, saying that
we could not leave New York City
until Monday, while Tom had never
got our telegram at all.
A close investigation was i mmediately
set on foot, and by the aid of able de-tectives,
it was discovered that a nnrn-ber
of eyil doers with Silas, t t e . station
master, at their head had conspired to
murder uncle and myself and- steal
those 110,000. To this end they had
forged one telegram and had suppressed
another. Had i t been a dark night
those two malefactors would certainly
have murdered us, and as it was, we
should probably have met our fate in
the woods but for mv lightness of

And. here Auntie. Nixon quite inno-cently
exposed her fur-bordered slipper.
' " Well, L was much complimented for
my courage: in f a c t , " said the old lady
flushed and excited by her spirited narra-tive,
"the whole town was full of my
praises; but, dear me, " s h e concluded,,
