That's a common expres
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver com
plaint, consumption, cold,
nervous debility,
Vv hatevcr the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
.wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Brown's Ikon Bitters, and
it docs this by commencing
at the foundation, and mak
ing the blood pure and rich.
Loglnsport, Ind. Dec, i, 188a.
Tor a long tlmo I hava been a
sufTerrr from stomach and kidney
disease. Myappetite was very poor
bnd the very smalt amount I did eat
disagreed Willi me. 1 was annoyed
very much from non-retention of

no success, until I used Brown's
Iron Mtters, hince 1 used that my
rtomacn aoes not bomer tne any.

general health s such, that I feel
like a new man. After the use of
Brown's Iron Bitters for one month,

Somebody's lips were cloto to mine
Tims temptei, I couldn't resist.
llogtitAli and rosy, a sweet llltlo mouth
Was suddenly, softly kissed.
Somtbody'a eyes looked up and frowned
Willi ttichn, reproving glance.
"II kisses w'cro wicked ? "I asked my pet
Then tho eyes began to dance
And, smiling, tho llltlo maiden answered,
As 1 knelt there at her feet,
" They must bo Just a little b'lt naughty
Or they never would be so sweet,"
Vcre VcrnoiVs Heritage.
"A proud old namo, you say? Yes. A
prido I justly Bharo hi its Inlicritauco ? Yes,
too. It Is BometUlua worthy a thrill of
prido to lmvo handed down to yon a nnmo
unstained by nny who lmvo possessed it. It
Is n noblo, hcritngo, nnd suroly n safeguard
ngaiiist temptation, sinco who would bo tho
llrht willingly to blot n fair oscutchoon? "
So spoko Voro Vernon, of Vornon IIn.ll,
his hnndsomo fnco Unshod with feeling, lila
tall form drawn to lis full height, his broad
shoulders thrown back, his bloudo head held
nhuost ' haughtily, ns ho glaucod up nt tho
portmlU of his nuccslors HUrronndlng him
In tlif piclnro-gnllcry, whero n littlo group
of four, from among tho guests gathered
under tlio hospitable roof of Vornon Hall,
had congregated.
It had been a question put by Miss
Strtithers which had elicited tho nbovo ro
ply.' A fclmngo Rinilo hnd wrenthod her thin
lips ni she courloously nnd ntloutivcly lis.
iencd to each word, nnd sho gnvo ono
(Illicit, htenlthy glauoo nt a girl standing bo
sidoi but Norn i'itzgonild did not hco Iho
look. Her bluo oyes were fixed upon tho
Kpenker's faco, nnd in their wonderful depths
was a rippling light, ns though hor heart
echoed his every wonl.
His gaza, -too, rested on her ns ho fin
ished, ns though socking hor sympathy and
support.
Nora 1'itzgernld wns his father' ward.
Sho hnd been bruught to their homo a deso
late orphan nay, worse than orphaned ;
but of that, poor child 1 hlio know nothing,
nor ever should know, ho swore, could ho
guard from hor tho secret, tho more that
lately ho had learned another secret tho
secret of his own heart, which had passed
irrevocably into this littlo Irish girl' keep
ing. A bhndo Bwept over Miss Struthcrs' faco
ns n bmilo of almost loving confidence was
ex6hauged between these two, nnd for nu
instant hor own eyes lhshod with n lurid
light, , w hich seemed to r jveul a depth of
jealous, hate black ns I heir hue.
"You may indeed bo proud ofyonrraco
Mr. Vernon," bho nuswerod, in low, Bwoe
tones. "Nor havu tho women of your houso
over brought upon it n shadow of disgrace?
Uuvo uouu of your auccbturs tnnrriod unwor
thily or bcnealh them?"
"Novcrl" ho made answer. "Thoy
considered it too sncrcd a horitngo for their
unborn ohildren to let their hearts, in any
case, usurp their reason. Tho women of
our houso liavo over been btainlcss, and of
untainted mco."
And ho glanced with roverent tenderness
nt tho picture of his mother, beautiful wo
man, painted in her wedding-robes, which
hung above hiB head.
A monieut'n pauso followed his words.
How littlo did ho dream that with Ihoin ho
hnd put a buro weapon in the hands of his
most subtle enemy, whicli hhould bury itself
in tho heart ho would ho gUdly have guarded
by uttering his own as its safeguard.
Miss Struthcrs vvn: again tho first to
speuk, but bho now addressed her compan
ion, a young cavalry ofheer, spending his
furlough nt tho Hall, mid already a victim to
a pair of black eyes.
"Couio, Captain Harding," sho cried.
It in too lovely to spend tho morning
within doors. I challenge you to n game
of tennis. Mr. Vcruou, Nora, will you
conio?"
" Wo will join you presently," Enid Vcre,
quietly.
Sho turned nwny witlt a shado of disap.
pomtuicnt on her face. At the door bho
paused and turned back. Voro Vornou't
gazo was fixed on his mothcr'H portrait.
'I Will lio remember his own words? " sho
said, to herself.
Thou she reluctantly closed tho door bo
hind her, shutting thoso two togothcr.
Tho, man turned to his companion with n
quick gesturo of relief.
"Nora," ho tnid "do .you kuow that I
think I can find no uioto fitting tiiuo or'
plneo to toll yon boiiiething I have wanted
to tell you for many days ? Jiook nround
you, dear, horo, whoro s'o lnuuy noblo men
and women look dawn lippu you, and let
uio ask them to wclcouYd you among their
number ns tho Bweotcst roso n Vernon over
plucked'. Nora, darling, will you make ino
tho proudest, happiest mau on earth? "ViLl
you bo my w ifo ? "
Tho quick tears trcmblod on tho long
lashes ; tho breath cnuio quickly through
tho lovely, parted lips. Sho glnucod up with
a bowitchlug shyness.
" Ah, Vere, I am not worthy I " sho whis.
pcred.
Ho caught her to his heart.
''Nut worthy, little one ?" ho bald, look,
lug proudly down upon the beautiful faei
ho forced upward lo moet his guzo, "Is
this nil? Then let mo silence tho doubting
lip foioVov."
And bonding still lower his royal head, he
pressed upon tho lovely mouth the llrst
lover's kiss which lutd ovor rested there.
' You luvo me, darling ? " he asked, a few
minutes later.
' I havo nlwnys loved you," she answered.
"Oh, Vme, you mo bu dllTerent from nil
other men."
The young iiinu laughed n frank, joyous
l.liU'lr, good to hear.
" Dillerout in your oyes only, littlo one,"
ho nnswervd. " But may thoy ever remain
in their present stnto of blinduoRs,"
That cumlng, tho betrothal of tho young

Tho guests received It with binccro pleaij.

A quick spasm of pain crossed Norn's
fnco.
"You moan that yon and Vcroweroonco
engaged?" sho asked.
"No oh, no," bho rcphod, hastily.
"Whatlravo I bald? I meant nothing ex

Sho stopped suddenly, leaving tho sou-
lencot uulluishcd. .
"Uo not let as talk of it lot us talk of
yourself. How you must long to have your
mother with you tit such n time. Do you
kuow 1 should think you would bo tempted
to forgivo nil nud go to her ? "
Tho sweet fnco grow ghastly.
"What can you tue.ru ?" bho asked. "My

"Oh, forgivo uio I" exclaimed Miss
Htruthcrg. "What havo I douo? It

What truth? what nro you bayiug ? Aro

Wo aro neither of us mad. But I daro
Bay no more. I havo already bald far, far
too much."
"Y'ouhavo, indeed, not to sny all. Iam
a woman, like yourself, Miss Htmtlicis, and
I demand from you tho truth."
"llutl daro not tell you. If thoy havo
kept this secret from you, they would never
forgivo mo for rovealiug it."
" Thoy shall not know tho uaino of my
informer. Tell uic, or I will go to them and
domand tho truth. Y'on bay that my mother
lives, and I mourn for her ns dead ? "
" Because becauso sho forsook you when
you wcro n baby. Oh, havo pationco and
listen," sho added, in quick alarm, for tho
girl hail fallen back as though stabbed to
tho heart. " Thoro was somo excuso for
her, Sho had loved a man beforo her mar
riago with your father, who was desperately
jealous of him. Ho was very, very ill, nud
thought himself dying, nud sent for her.
Sho'asked your father to let her go to let
horseo him for ono half.honr and 'ho ro
f used. Afterward, another nud more urgen
messenger came, nud sho went with him
Your father, when ho knew that sho had
gone, publicly renounced her, in his fierce
nngcr; nnd when, at tho end of n few
hours', bho camo back, refused her admit,
tauco to her homo or her child. Doubtless
Bho then was innocont of nny wrong. For
throo years bho disappeared, nud no one
heard of her ; but tho mau did not die, nud
at tho expiration of that time ono ycat
after your father's dcatkj-tho papers con
tained tho published account of their mar
riago. You were left as Sir Vero Vornou'd
ward. Tho "Vernon pity has over bccn,held
stronger than tho Vernon lovo ; therefore,
thoy doubtless havo withheld tho story, froin
you."
" Hut these years of my mother's absence
where did sho spend them ?"
" Could it bo tho sweet musical voice
ouo of Nora Fitzgerald's chief charms'
which put tho question ? It bounded hoarso
and harsh.
Miss Struthcu shrugged her shoulders
cruelly.
"It is' the question tho world asks," sho
replied.
Tho girl fell on her knees. Miss Struth.
crs npproached, but bho raised hor land,
with her.hcad btill bowed, nud motioned to
the door.
With u glauco of triumphant hatred sho
went out, leaving Nora nlono with her deso
lation, disgrace and luisory,
An hour ago bho had been so happy that
sho banished sleep in her joy, so much
sweeter were her vcukiug dreams than those
slumber might briug. Now, though sho
might sock to purchase oblivion at nny cost,
it was denied her.
"Tho Vernon pity has over been held
Btrouger than tho Vernon lovo." Why did
thest) words, with their subtle poison-sting,
ever ruiuni to nor? unil why, In connec
tion with them, did bho hear again every
Byllablo Vero had uttered in tho picture gal-
lery that day ? Had ho been moved only
l'Hy, then, to offer her his proud old
name, and thus bring upon it its llrst stain '(
Ho liad loved this other girl too cold,
proud and fair. Ho had been jealous, uud
they had quarreled, then in pity ho had
turned to her.
"Oh, Vero I oh, nother ! " bho moaned,;
but neither of tho two, whoso lovo would
havo been held truebt in tho broad, w'ido
world, mado answer to her piteous prayer.
The dawn found hor kneeling still, but
bho know now what bho must do,
Hastily sho caught up a piece of paper,
and wrote upon it hor farewell
"I havo learned my mother's history,"
bho wroto, "Jlow, matters not. Do you

Sho addressed mid sealed tho note', thou'
dressed herself ns for a jouruoy, Hnt her
head swriiii nud her trembling ilugcrM re
fused to do her bidding. Sho was herself
unconscious of tlio ierriblo oxcitoment slu
had undergone, until, opening her door jo
pass out, n black cloud envoloped her, nnd
Bho' fell pnmo upon tho threshold.
There thoy found her, nu hour later, and
carried her to her bed. Tho household ytv.H

But ore he coidd arrive, Vere, tearing;

"Who could Jliavo dono this cfuel,

' Who could, luivu committed this llemi'i

"Mother! mother!" This was tho

Sho nlmoiH blinTcd, find sighed it restful
sigh then, with her little himd tight clasped
in his, fell into n drcalnte'ss slumber.
A week later, nud from his lips sho heard
her mother's story. '
" It was true" Voro said, " that hor

When ho had fluUhed, ho opened hlj

La Bruycrc, thp classical author of the

dropping in, duriug his strolls about Paris,
at tho house of Micliallet, tho printer and

the old and new books aud romp with Mi.

whom ho hod taken u fancy. Ono day iu
tho year HibO. he took n roll of manuscript
from his pocket nnd liaudod it lo her father,
Baying :
See here, will you print this? l ean
not say if it will bo worth your whilo,
but should it, produco anything, it will be,
luy contribution to your littlo daughter's,

In 1C87 tho " Garactcres do la Jlruyero"

snapped up, yielding' a profit of over one
hundred thousand francs. The, honest
bookseller went to tho author, begging him1
to Bhnro tlio money with him. Tho goner,

''What aro you talkiug nbout?"- he
doninuded. "It is no business cither

So little Mile. Micliallet remained iu pos
