The man who stands idly hy and sees the life fading out of l i s wife 's face, sees her heal th going, sees her he-c o m i n g o l d a n d faded and wrinkled w h e n s h e s h o u l d still be in the perfect enjoyment of vig-orous, useful health, is either less than a man or else does not k n o w of t h e o n e remedy which will
j b r ing h e r back to health and strength, j Most women do not understand their own j bodies, or the things that make them well
or stole. Tlie most freqnent cause of slck-j ness in women is the cause last looked for.
A women Will go to a doctor when she has • severe co'd, or some acute digestive dis-
l tnrbancc, but she hesitates and procrksti-1 nates when the tronble is with tbe aist inctly j fetsinine organism. And yet the latter is
infinitely more scrioms. It ts the most seri-! ens sickness that any woman can have. I t | is the most d readfn l—the most dangerous.
Ita. eeuseqncnrcs are always seriooe, and . aerion.s right at the beginning because it is | debilitating. It saps the life aud strepgth . ana works on the nerve# to •nch an extent i that the whole body Is disturbed. Appetite I leaves, the color goes from tbe face and I hollows sink into the cheeks. Irritability . succeeds good temper and fretfulncss takes • t he place of con ten tment Little by little 1 Ui* becomes more and more miserable. 1 The woman is killing herself with neglect I Just as surely as if she we're taking deadly ; poison. Perhaps h e r husband cannot per-
suade h f r to go to h e r doctor, because she naturally dreads the inevitable examina-tions and " local t reatment^." H e can per-auadc her. if she needs persuasion, to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This trulv wonderful medicine has cured hun-dreds of women after the best physicians
. have failed. It has been in constant use and tested every day for 30 years. Tt i s n t an experiment, there are no chances ahont it. It is a certain and infallible cure far all deranpremcnts peculiar to women. Those who eare to know all about i t and to re. ceive the best mcdical work ever prepared for the peneral public are invited to send ai one-cent stamps to co>er cost of mailing only and receive a copy of Dr. Picrcc's thousand page book, "Common Sense Med-
, ical Adviser." Address World 's dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y.

that from a distance he caught the faintest sound of a church boll. I t m igh t have been fancy, for congregatlonn would not bo likely to meet near a battlefield, and tho continued roar in the center a n i left wonld likely have prevented a bell being hoard. At any rate, i t suddenly oconrrod to him tha t i t was Sunday morning.
Sunday mornlpg! W h a t a contrast between t ha t and other Sunday morn-ings ho had passed. I t was near 11 o'clock, the hour when people were as-sombling for worship, aud he pictured tho neatly dressed throngs moving " to church whi le bolls were r inging in tho belfries. All over tho broad land con-gregations were assembling, u n m i n d f u l of tho struggle t ha t was going on at Cbickamauga. !
Tho enemy wore moving to the at tack. 1 As Maynard glanced toward the Union line to see if i t was in condition he saw a division face to the l e f t and begin a march iu rear of another division, leav-ing its place in t be l ine a dofonseless, yawning gap.
" G r e a t heavens I Some one has blun-dered ."
" H a i t i Go backl Grea t God, w h a t a royon doing?"
Who could hear h im a t such a distance? Who would obey h im if heard? Oh, the agony of a sight l ike tha t l To see men marching not only to the i r own destruc-tion, bu t t he destruct ion of thoir oom-rados, doubtless of the whole army, and wi tbont the powor to prevent tbem. Oh, for a bat tery wi th which to fire smoke over tha t dea th t rap—to conceal i t I Oh, for a cyclone to blow dus t in the eyes of those Confederates I God grant t ha t t he stupidity which prevails in w a r m a y seize those southern generals now; t ha t they may not reap th i s offered advan-tage. May they be blinded I God, th i s is terr ible I
"The re l Thoy see i t They are pre-par ing to march through i t There tbey go. Hear those cheers—that rebel yelL They ' re near it. They ' r e in it. Our mon aro breaking on the r igh t of the gap. There goes a regiment, a whole brigade on tbe l e f t Heavens, bow those gray cuita leap forward! I t ' s a splendid s ight if they are Confederates. Thoy know i t ' s all up wi th us. The whole r i gh t of the a rmy is g iving way, broken, scat-ter ing pellmell over the field, chased by tho southerners pouring vt)lley upon volley a f te r them.
"S top and ra l ly! No! No ono could ral ly troops on the breast of Niagara. But there ' s a c rumb of comfort—thoso men nearest this way are bending baok like wrought iron. They are not break-ing. Good. There 's a fa in t hopo for the l e f t But , 0 Lord, w h a t ' s the l e f t w i th the right and center gone?"
And now comes a spectacle, a contrast which mus t always stand out a splendid monumont of heroic endurance in tho great cemetery of war—the spectacle of au army, one half routed, gone, driven like dry leaves before tho wind, t he re-maining half holding lu check for more than half a day a force against which i j e whole had found i t difficult to con-^ n d . Standing in the center of tho "horseshoe," the fortification of which his wisdom has constructed dur iug tho night, General Thomas, in ten t upon guiding tho troops of his own corps, with no word f rom his commander in chief, for a t ime not knowing, or a t least not admit t ing, t ha t the a rmy is by all the rules t ha t govern the scionco of war defeated, goes on fighting as If thore is bn t one A r m y of the Cumber-land, aud that composed of t be troopi under h is command.
The r igh t pu t to flight, t h e Confed-erates prepare to crush tbo remainder of tho army. All around tho "horsefihoe" tbey ga ther their foroes and h u r l tbem against the blue coats. Tbo first onset falls. There must be another. A sooond waves guus rolling on and danhos against tbn logs behind which the ono urined Army of tho Cumberland is fixed. I t recedes wi thout making a breach. I t will need more ench waves—a conetant-ly beat ing surf. Surely tha t curve, with flanks bent a lmost in a circle, almost touching, cannot, be called a lino of bat-tle. I t may bo a curve of battle, but how can such a curve stand against tbe whole Army of the Tennebsee?
Bu t th i s curved array of bayonets is too tough to bo broken in f ront . I t must be taken iu flank. Thoro is a ridge just beyond tbo r igh t heel of the "borsesboo." I t has been abandoned by tbo Uuioulsts. No 6'no seems to know why. Ciimb up,Confederates; seize this ridge. I t commands tho Union right Onoe firmly lodged there you can ham-mer tbem unmerci ful ly .
And tho gray coats do c l imb the ridge aud drag art i l lery wi th them.
Tbo Union oommander sees them and a t a glanoo d i s m ns tha t wi thout a force to drive them f rom i t his a rmy ia los t
and their flags aro fur led, so tha t he cannot tell whether thoy are blue or gray. If they are gray, t ha t means d& Btruotlonfor tho troops defending them-solvcs In tho borsesboe. If they are blue, thoy may serve as a forlorn hopo on the ridge commanding tho Union right
The aid not only seos those troops, but tbo troops seo the aid. Thoy, too,
wonder If he Is blue or gray. Nei ther can tell, but f rom his position thoy sus-pect bim to wear blue. At any rate , (hey assume tha t he does.
Suddenly every flag is unfur led , dis. p laying the s tars and stripes.

to guard a bridge across the Cbickamau-ga on the extreme north of the batt le-field, wi th orders to hold i t a t al l haz-ards, this division had fo r t w o days listened to the sounds of fighting wi th -out firing a . s h o t The Coutoderates had made a crossing wi thou t us ing the bridge watched, and the division w a s a useless guard. On Sunday morn ing i t s commauder, chafing at Inaction, ye t dreading the oonsequences t ha t m i g h t occur, the b lame a t tending a disobedi-enoe of orders, determined to burn the bridge and n £ r o ^ to tbe reliof of oom-rades whom he divlnod were being ha rd pressed.

Marching through fields of yollow corn, guided only by a dis tant but con-t inuous roar, tbe division each moment lessened the distance between i t aud tbo army whose fa te b u n g on i ts quick com-ing. The diroction taken led thorn to-ward the north d d e of tlie horseshoe aud the rear of tbo Confederates. F i r s t a small body of Confederate cavalry, guarding a hospital, were m e t These wore easily scattered, and the column moved on. S t r ik ing tho Chattanooga road, tho diviston marched ou down it. Thore were b e f i t s to tbe east, and ou these wore guns. I t was plain to t be gunners tha t tho advancing column was a rescuing column. They opened fire to delay I t Tbo Union troops did not heed them. There was a more impor tan t enemy—a more impor tant work f a r the r on.
Bu t they wore march ing directly in rear of the Confodoratu line. F i l i ng to the right, through au orchard and open fields beyond, they came to a point whore tho dim out l ine of tho troops engaged

oenter ot tbo horseshoe. One ol tbem, a large, m i w i v o man, he recnpulstcd as General Thonu.n. The other was thr oommander of the newly air ived divi-aion. As Mnynard looked the latter rode away. was going wi th orders to re-t ake the ridgo.
Maynard had not FOOU General Thoin-as for mot! :!:q. ludofsl m- h id met h im but a low tiuioe KUICO tho days when lie was the giexifral'R favorite scout. Re-mombering his disgrace, ho was about to go away, not caring, in his altered con-dition, to meet tho man for whom of all tho a rmy ho fe l t tho greatost rever-ence. Bu t tho general turned beforo ho could do so and looked iu his direction.
I t was too late to go away miobsorv-ed, and Maynard iolt a desire to discov-er if thore were not somotbing, a f te r all, In this groat soldier so groat 'that he oould afford to give him a kind word. He walked toward he spot whoro the general stood.
" W h a t are you doing here, my man?" said tbe oommander of all thoro was lef t of tho Army of the Cumberland sternly, seeing the begrimed Maynard In pr ivate ' s un i fo rm and not recogniz-ing him. " W h y are yon not w i th your regiment?"
" I have no r e g i m e n t gene ra l . " " Y o n r troop, then?'* " I have no troop. I am not a sol-
d i e r . " " W h o are you?" " M a r k Malone. " The sternness on the general ' s face
slightly relaxed. " A h , Colonel May-nard. Pardon mo. I did not recognize y o u . "
"No , general. I was ,Colonel May-nard. I am now a pr ivate citizen. I would be g lad to assume my old scout-ing name, Mark Malone . "
" I heard of your- - m i s f o r t u n e . I re-gretted i t doubly, remember ing your services when you were scout ing . , ,
"Yes, general. Thou my services bad some value. I was fitted fo r a scout— a spy. You thought I w a s fitted for something better and advanced me. I was vain enough to th ink you r i g h t I did not know myself. As a spy 1 needed no conscience. I w a s not subservient to any principle. When as a br igade oom-mander I w a s obliged tooboose on high-er ground, I fa i led in tho choice. I have proved myself unworthy of your confi-dence. I have sunk to tbo level f rom which I s t a r t e d . "
The general d i ^ not reply. He was watch ing the newly arrived division gett ing in to position.
" Y o u connived a t tbe escape of a spy, I t h i n k ? " he said presently.
"Y^orso. I assisted in tha t esoapo." " A woman, was slw riot?" " S h e was, gene ra l . " " f l ' m . I t i sn ' t a pleasant task to
shoot a woman. Yet a soldier mus t do h is d u t y . "
Maynard did not reply. "Colonel, there Is going to bo a weak
spot there. I would like you to go and see tha t t ha t gap is closed. Mv staff are all away, as you see, on some duty. A h ! Nevor mind. They are march ing by tbe flank, I see. Now I t ' s all right"
He was so Intent upon tbe fo rming of the lino t h a t fo r a moment Maynard thought ho had forgotten h is presence.
" W h o was this woman?" the general asked prosoutly.
" Y o u remember when I went to Chat-tanooga to br ing yon informat ion of Bragg 's movements to Kentucky I mot a Confedorate officer—a Captain F i t s Hugh—who twice gave me my life?"
"Yes, yes, I remember. They ' r e stand-ing woll down th(4o lu the center and wi th so l i t t le ammunit ion. They ' l l get thoir now cartridges presently f rom thoso brought by tho rescrvo division. The ammuni t ion comes aa opportunely as tho m e n . "
" T h e y ' r e mak ing a good fight every-w h e r e , " observed Maynard.

Maynard had beoome so engrossed tha t he did not hoar. He a lmost forgot bis ohlef 's presence.
" I haven ' t a command to lead up that bi l l , but I have a rms to carry a inuskot I ' l l go In tho ranks wheno ve been sinoo the fight began ," and he s tar ted in tho direction of tho reserve.
"S tay , colonel ," called tho general. Maynard turned and walked back to

1 m u s t allow tha t i t sometimes rains in Ireland, but Irish rain is not quite like other rain.

Two days ear l ier , whi le his t ra in w a s s topping a t Chi lwaree Junc t ion to ' . ransfer passengers to the H a r m o n y Valley b ranch . Hugh Ringbrand had s.'cn a gir l descend f rom the th rough train and cross the p la t fo rm to the ac-ommodn t ion . She was s t r ik ing ly

I t sud-denly occurred to him ti iat the re w a s no th ing in b is purposeless plans to pre-vent i t ; and he hast i ly t r ans fe r red him-st lf and his belongings to a seat in the o the r t ra in , whence he could cont inue his observat ions. The s tudy once be-;run. t he beauty of ! * r face grew u p o n him, push ing him swif t ly to t heconc lu -iiion t h a t no th ing s h o r t of acqua in t -once would enable him to complete his charac te r -ske toh; and , not being a commercial t raveler , the s impler method of ob ta in ing the desired de-gree of Int imacy did not sugges t it-self.

The absurd i ty of th i s hast i ly-approved design appealed to
his sense of h u m o r when the conductor asked fo r his f a r e nnd he was uiuible tp tell the olllcittl where he wanted to go-
" I have no t i cke t , " ho said, " b u t I will pay t o the end of tho line. How much iu i t ? "

Ringbrand had uot been long enough In enst Tennessee to know tha t every hostelry wi th in 100 miles of the crossing of the Clinch river m a d e a s imilar claim, bu t t be conceit s t ruck him as be ing a qua in t one, and it oc-curred to him t h a t t he anc icnt negro waa probably an old resident and there-fore acqua in ted wi th mos t of the fami-lies in the neighborhood.
"Did you see Miss—Miss—Montague ge t off t he t r a in j u s t now, unclc?" he inquired, nonchalan t ly , hazard ing a guess a t t h e name in the hope t h a t his guide would cor rec t h im.
"Who, m e ? No. s a h ; thank yp\ sah . I doesn ' t know any lady o' d a t name, sah. Didn ' t see no lady gi t off de t r a in ; no, sah . "
T h a t g rapp l ing hook having come up em [ity, Ringbrand was compelled t o awai t f u r t h e r developments; and as he smoked his a f t e r - supper c igar in the dingy l i t t le oflice of the hotel, be tr ied to convince himself t h a t tlie present ad-venture was only ano the r example of the pe r s i s t en t obs t inacy with \»hich he had pursued o the r ques t s in t h e s tudy oi his a r t . The e f fo r t may have been wholly successful , b u t the conclusion did no t enabie him to banish the pic-ture of the g i r l ' s face, which haunted him even a f t e r he bad gone to sleep amid the dismal fu rn i sh ings of Gen.

Fve heard of love at first s ight , but t h i s is the in-s tan taneous pho tography kind. Why, you couldn ' t have got more than a gl impse of her as they passed us ! "
" I—we—that is to say—I've seen her before," s tammered Ringbrand .
"Oho! now 1 begin to unde r s t and ; t ha t ' s wha t b r o u g h t you to T r e g a r t h e n . I t h o u g h t Helen 's propbctic soul d idn ' t mislead her. Well, tell me the res t of i t ; I've got your fate in my hands, and you might as well make an ally of me a t the s t a r t . "
Ringbrand told hissmull s to ry f r ank -ly, concluding wi th n plea for secrecy. "I 'd r a the r you wouldn ' t tell even Mrs. Ludlow," he added. " I t ' s such a piece of ridiculous absurd i ty In Its present s tage, you know."
"I ' l l promise not to tell her of my own accord," assented Ludlow, "bu t t ha t isn ' t say ing much. It 's only fair t o warn you t h a t she'll ge t i t out. of me sooner or la ter . Best t h ing you can do IF. to ge t the aiTair into presentable shape as soon as possillle; theu you won ' t mind."
"Presen tab le s h a p e ! " groaned Ring-brand . "and 1 haven ' t even had an in-t roduct ion! Ludlow, I believe 1 left my wi ts behind me when I came away f rom New-York. I haven ' t been wholly accountable since I crossed the Ohio r iver ."
"Oh, I don ' t know a b o u t t h a t , " re-joined Ludlow, reflectively. "You m i g h t have gone f a r t h e r and fared a good deal worse ; Hes te r La t imer ' s well wor th any man 's winning—only I'll tell you beforehand, t h a t she .has all of her f a t h e r ' s prejudices , magni-fied by the emot ional na tu re pf an im-pulsive young woman."
"Wha t sor t of pre judices? "Southern , mos t ly ; pride of race and

They walked a long in silence for j awhile, and t h e n Ringbrand said: " I ; don ' t know bu t I overstated i t a mo- j m e n t ago. a f t e r all. My first impulse ! when I saw Miss La t imer was merely I ii s t rong desire to s tudy t h e t ype ; i t 's , unusual , and she is uncommonly beau- 1 t l fu l .

Back ache—Do You K now , T h i s Means tho Kid-
neys a r e Affcctcd I
How few people realize when their bacfc l-egins to ache that it is a warning pro— xided by nature to tell you that tho kid-neys are not working properly. You havo •i, severe fall, you strain yourself lifting or perhaps you are compelled to miiin'litiu a i ill ing or stooping position for loug inter-vals at a time, your back begins to ache, i hen your head, you become listless, tired ni!'I weary, but do you unuersUad this r -nl cause? Wo think not, else you would -.(it use plasters and liniment on the hack, which only relieve but do not reach lha .":iiisc. If you would rid yourself of tho viia and ciire the root of tho trouble, r.t i- same time save meny years of sulTer-
'. ig and perhaps life itself, you will take a kidney remedy that has been tried and proven that it will cure.
Mr. John Robsoin of (Ml Russell Street, Detroit, says: " A s a result of exposuro during the war I have suffered ever since with rheumatism and kidney trouble. Pains would start In mv hip and g o around fo mv back. Highly colored urine denoted kidney disorder. The pain in my back was often so bad I had to give up work until the severity of the a t tack passed away. I have used many liniments and other things, but received very little relief. Some time ago I started using-Doan's Kidney Pills and they have worked a wonderful change in me. My back i s all right now and I owe It all to the almost magical influence of Doan's Kidney Pills."
Mr. Robsoin was a member of the F i f ty-first Illlnoia Regiment which served through the war with honor and distinc-tion. Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale b y all dealers—price, 50 cents.

The shadow on the veranda prevent-ed the lady f r o m seeing the look of em-Durrassment. t h a t flitted across t h e face of her visitor, and his hesi ta t ion in re-plying was fo r tuna t e ly covered by the en t rance of his host .
