Alarm Clocks on Gravestones.' The Indians of Pala, in the foothills

of the Coast range in the southern partof the state of California, were con-

Believing that thedead must re,main for some time in thegrave, they observe exactly the hour atwhich the spirit departs, and the rudewooden cross over each grave in thecemetery states the exact hour, minuteand day on which the person died."Suspended, from the arms of one of the"crosses is an alarm clock, with thehands set at 6:57.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER

After Trying Other Treatments,Hyomei Was Used Aith Per-fect Success.J. F. Forbes, a well known Western

railroad man, whose home is at ileCook, Nebraska, writes "Ihave neverhad any relief from any remedy forhay fever, even temporarily, until Idiscovered the merits of Hyomei. 1Jalways recommend it when occasionrequires."

There is no offensive or dangerousstomach dosing when Hyomei is used.This reliable remedy for the cure ofall diseases of the respiratory organsis breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, sothat the air takon into the throat andlungs is like that of the White Moun-tains or other health resorts, wherehay fever is unknown.

The fact that H. O. Fierce agrees torefund the money to any hay feversufferer who uses Hyomei withoutsuccess, should inspire confidence inits power to effect a cure. A com-

plete outfit costs only $1.00 and extrabottles but 50 cents.

Thousands of WomenARE MADE WELL AND STRONG

Success of Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable- Compound Rests Upon the Fact that It

Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-can women have been' restored tohealth by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-ble Compound. Their letters are on filein Mrs. Pinkham's office, and prove thisstatement to be a fact and not a mereboast.

Overshadowing1 indeed is the successof this great medicine, and comparedwith it all other medicines and treat-ment for women are experiments.

, Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-table Compound accomplished its wide-spread results for good ?

- Why has it lived and thrived anddone its glorious work for a quarter ofa century?

Simply and surely because of its ster-ling worth. The reason no other med-icine has even approached its successis plainly and positively because thereis no other medicine in the world sogood for women's ills....

The wonderful power of Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overthe diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant not because it isa palliative, but simply because it isthe most wonderful tonic and recon-struct- or

ever discovered to act directlyupon - the uterine system, positivelyCtnaiNO disease and displacements andrestoring health and vigor.

Marvelous cures are reported fromall parts of the country by women whohave been cured, trained nurses whohave witnessed cures, and physicianswho have recognized the virtue inLydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to givecredit where it is due. : If physiciansdared to be frank and xpen, hundredsof them would acknowledge that theyconstantly prescribe Lydia E. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound in severecases of female ills, as they know byexperience that it will effect a cure.

Women who are troubled with painfulor irregular menstruation, backache,bloating (or flatulence), leucorrhoea,falling, inflammation or ulceration ofthe uterus, ovarian troubles, that"bearing-down- " feeling, dizziness,faintness, indigestion, nervous .pros-tration, or the blues, should take im-mediate action to ward off the seriousconsequences and be restored to healthand strength by taking Lydia E. Pink-ham'- s

"There U only one thing lackingown thoughts. The ocean of course has

sad sound to us all If we stop tothink about it, but Ifs best not to.What you need is the companionshipof some cheerful girl about your ownage." Then he added thoughtfully: "Iwish you could visit Alice for a fewmonths. . She would drive the megrimsout of your mind."

"I should be glad to have her comeand visit me. I am sure I should loveher."

"I wish she could," he answered,"but she is a schoolteacher, and thatduty keeps her occupied most of thetime. I shall bring her down herenext summer." Then, feeling it un-

fair to conceal the fact that he 'knewher history any longer, he said: "I begyour pardon. Miss Terry, but I knowwhat is at the bottom of your melan-choly moods, and I knew it the secondnight I was here last summer. Yourfather told me your history then."

"He did? You knew my unfortunatehistory that night?"

"I did, every word of it," he answer-ed tenderly, "and I should have toldyou 1 ma If I Had. not been afraid Itwould hurt you to know I knew itthen." - -

Her eyes fell, and a look of pain cameInto her face.

"Please banish this mood from nowon and never let it return," he saidhastily. "I have come to teTl you thatin the near future the mystery of yourlife may be solved and, what is better,that a legacy awaits your claiming.The matter has been in the hands of anunprincipled lawyer for some months,as no doubt Mr. Terry has told you,but now he is dead, and I have takenhold of it and shall not rest until youhave your rights. We shall know whatyour heritage Is and all about your an-cestors in a few months." Then headded tenderly, "Would it pain you tohear more about it, or would you rath-er not?" !

"Father has told me a little of it, butjI know he has kept most of the troubleto himself. It's his way. Since hecame back from Boston he has acted ;

like his old self, and no words can tellhow glad I am. As for the money, itmust and shall go to him, every pennyof it, and all the comfort I can givehim as long as he lives as well."

"I thank you for what you havesaid," said Albert quickly, "for how Ishall dare to tell you another story be-

fore I tro back. Not tonight," he added, smiling, as she looked at him curi-ously, "but you shall hear it in duetime up at the cove, maybe, if tomor-row afternoon is pleasant. I, too, amluperstitious in some ways."

Perhaps to keep Telly from guessingwhat his story was he talked upon every subject that might interest her,avoiding the one nearest his heart. Itcame with a surprise when the littleclock chimed 11, and he at once aroseand begged her pardon for tne possiuietrespass upon conventional hours. "You

: will go up to the cove with me?" heasked as he paused a moment" at tnefoot of the stairs. . ,

"I 6hall enjoy it very much, and Ihave a favor I want to ask of you,which is to let me make a sketch of youjust where you sat the time your, boatdrifted away."

When he retired it was long after heheard the clock downstairs strike themidnight hour, and in his dreams hesaw Telly's face smiling in the fire-

That's lots ' wuss folks In the worldthan the Widder Leach." And then,aa If that crowned the sum total of hervirtues, he added, "Telly an Ussythinks lots o her."

He paused for breath and, turning tosee if they were heading right, re-

sumed his strong and steady pulling."Thar" observed Uncle Terry, point

ing tn a lomr and narrow ledge, "la.whar Telly started fer shore all aloneJust nineteen years ago last March.And then he added while he watchedAlbert's averted face. "Twas an on-luc- ky

day fer the poor sailors an' alucky one fer us, fer she's been a heapo' comfort ever since.

"Teil me. Uncle Terry, why it Is shefeela so sensitive regarding her historyand what Is the cause of the peculiarmoods you spoke of last summer. Inoticed It last evening, and It painedme very much."

"Irs hard tellln. She's a girl that'sgiven ter broodln' a good deal, anmebbe when she was told the facts shebegan ter suspect some o her ances-tors would be lookln' her up some day.She alius has been a good deal by her-

self sence she got her schoolin', an' mostlikely doln' lots o' thinkin. But Telly'sall right, an' the most willin an' tenderhearted creetur I ever seen or heardon. She'll make an amazin' good wifefer some man if she ever finds theright 'un."

When they reached the island UncleTerry landed and, going to the top-- of acliff, scanned the sea for signs of fish.

"Mackerel's cur'us fish," he observedto Albert vvho had followed. "They'sa good deal like some wimmin yenever know whar ter find 'em. Yester-day mornin' that cove jest inside o' thep'int was 'live with 'em, .an' today Ican't see a sign o' one. We better sithere an' wait a spell till I sight aschool." -

To a dreamer like Albert rage thelimitless ocean view he now enjoyedlifted him far above mackerel andtheir habits. His mind was also occupied a good deal by Telly, and while hedesired to please the kindly old man,who imagined fishing would entertainhim, his heart was not in it.

"Don't let us worry about the mackerel, Uncle Terry," he observed as theyseated themselves on top of a cliff."This lone, uninhabited Island and theview here will content me until yourfish are hungry."; "It "llus sets me thinkin', too, an'wondriin' whar we cum from an'what we air here for. An' our stay isso amazin' short besides! We air born,grow up, work a spell, git old fta' die,an' that's the end. Why, it don't seemonly last year when I cum to the Cape,an' it's goin' nigh on to thirty now,an' I'm a'most through my spell o' life.,What puzzles me is what's the good o'bein' born at all If ye've got ter die sosoon! An', more'n all that, if life's theLord's blessin, as the widder brieves,why are so many only born to suffer orbe crippled all their lives? An' why aresnakes an' all sorts o' vermin,1 to saynothin' o' cheatin' lawyers, like Frye,ever born at all?"

Albert smiled at the coupling of Fryewith vermin. "There are a good manywiser heads than mine, Uncle Terry,that have never been able to answeryour question," he replied, . "and Idoubt' if they ever will.

" To my mindthe origin of life is an enigma, thewide variations in matters of healthand ability an injustice, and the end ablank wall that none who scales everrecrosses with tidings of the beyond.As some one has expressed It: 'Life is anarrow vale between the cold and bar-ren peaks of two eternities! We strivein vain to look beyond the heights.We cry aloud, and the only answer isthe echo of our walling cry.' " .

"An' right thar," put in Uncle Terryonmoatlv 'Ma whor T flllna PT1W tho' ,

I've been a sort er scoffer allmy life an can't help bein' a doubter,but there' are times when I envy theWidder Leach an' the rest on 'em thedelusion I b'lieve they're laborin' un-

yond this blank wall ?""Sartin I have hopes, same as all on

us has, but I wish I was more suremy hopes was goin ter be realized.Once in awhile I git the feelin' tharain't no use in hopin', an' then a littlesuthin keeps sayin'- - 'Mebbe mebbemebbe' an' I .feel more cheerfulagain."

Albert looked at- - the roughly cladand withered old man who sat near,and in whose words lurked an under-tone of sadness mingled. with a fainthope, and in an Instant back came acertain evening months before whenthe Widow Leach had uttered a prayerthat had stirred his feelings as nosuch utterance ever had before. -- Allthe pathos of that simple petition, allits abiding faith In God's goodnessand wisdom, all its utter self abnega-tion .ftiL absolute confidence la a life.

jyour consent.f I do not notice anything left out as!l recall the Fpot"j "But there Is," she replied, "and onethat should be there to make the picture correct. Can't rou guess?"

He looked at Telly's face, upon whichja ruKuisn smile had mm

"No, I can't guess. Tell me what Islacking?"

"Yourself," she replied."But I do not want the picture to re

mind me of myself. I wanted it so Icould see you and recall the day wewere there." She made no reply, andhe laid It on the table and asked for athe other one. It was all done exceptthe finishing touches, but it did notseem to be a reproduction of his origi-nal sketch at the cove.

"I took the liberty of changing it alittle," she said as he was looking atIt, "and put in the background whereyou said you first saw me."

"It was nice of you to think of mak-ing the change," he replied quickly,"and I am very glad you did. I want-ed

-

it to portray you as I first sawyou."

A faint flush came into her face. Asshe was watching the fire he studiedthe sweet face turned half away. Andwhat a charming profile it was, withrounded chin, delicate patrician noseand long eyelashes Just touching thecheek that bore a telltale flush! Wasthat faint color due to the fire or tohis words? Then they dropped into apleasant chat about trifles, and theocean's voice kept up its rhythm, thefire sparkled, and the small cottageclock ticked the happy moments away.

"How is Mrs. Leach?" he asked atlast. "Does she pray as fervently atevery meeting?"

"Just the same," replied Telly, "andalways will as long as she has breath.It is, as father says, her only consola-tion."

"I have thought of that eveningmany times since," he continued, "andthe impression that poor old lady madeon ine with her piteous supplication. Iwonder how it would affect a Bostonchurch congregation some evening tohave such an appearing figure, clad asshe was, rise and utter the prayer shelid. It would startle them, I think."

"I do not think Mrs. Leach wouldnter one of your city churches," re

sponded Telly, "and certainly not cladas she has to be. She has a little prideeven if she is poor."- "Oh, I meant no reflection, only "thescene was so impressive I wonderedhow it would affect a fashionablechurch gathering. I think it would dothem good to listen to a real sincere,prayer that came from some one'sheart , and was not manufactured forthe occasion. Those who wear fine6ilk9 and broadcloth and sli in cusn-lone- d

pews seldom hear such a prayeras she utte'rlxl that night."

Then as Telly made no response hesat in silence a few moments mentallycontrasting the girl with those he hadmet in Boston.

And what a contrast!This girl clad in a gray dress severe

in its simplicity and so ill fitting that itleally detracted from the beautiful out-

lines of her form. Her luxuriant tresses were braided and coiled low on theback of her head, and at her throat atiny bow of blue. Not an ornament ofany nature, not even a ring, only thecrown of her sunny hair, two littlerose leaves in her. cheeks and thequeenlike majesty of throat and shoul- -

ders and bust, so classic that not onewoman in a hundred but would envyher their possession.

And what a contrast in speech, ex-

pression and ways timid to the vergeof bashfulness, utterly unaffected andyet sincere, tender and" thoughtful ineach and every utterance, a beautifulflower grown to perfection among therocks of this seldom visited island, un-

trained by conventionality and unsul-

lied by the world! "I wonder how shewould act if suddenly dropped Into theNasons' home, or what would Alicethink of her." Then, as he noted the

ad little droop of her exquisite lips,and as she, wondering at his silence,turned her pleading eyes toward him,there came into his heart in an Instantsx feeling that, despite her timidity andher lack of worldly wisdom, he wouldvalue her love and confidence farabove any woman's he had ever met

"Miss Terry," he said gently, "do youknow I fancy that living here, as youhave all your life, within sound of thesad sea waves, has woven a little oftheir melancholy into your nature anda little of their pathos into your eyes.I thought so the first time I saw you,and the more J see of you the more Ithink it is so."

The ocean docs sound sad to me,"she said, "and at times it makes mefeel blue. Then I am so much aloneand have no one In whom to confidemy feelings. Mother would not un-

derstand me and if father thought Iwasn't happy It would make him mis-erable." Then, turning her patheticeyes full upon her questioner, 6he added: "Did you m think, Mr. Page, thatthe sound of the waves might be thevoices of drowned people trying to bebeard? I believe every h.uman bein
