THE SCJRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1898.
Freak
From tho London Tnitli.
Dick Forrnrs wns a cnptnlii In tho
guards, mid Mttlslu ciuill'inor wns Ills
llnncce.
When their engagement wan an
nounced t(i the world nt large it ere
nted tho proverbial nlno days' wonder,
for they wore about tho last people that
anyone would have exported to come
tosetlut. The affair was freely dis
cussed at 5 o'clock tea tables, and In
club smoking rooms, and the universal
vordlct wan that It would prove on Ig
nominious failure, and be "off" before
thre months had passed. Hut for
once the wiseacres were wrong. When
six months had passed, the affair was
Etlll "on,- ami ptopunitloiis for tlm
wedding wor- In full swing. Shoulder.A
were shtugged and heads were shaken.
The tide of gossip and scandal llovved
merrily, hut somehow It never touehed
Malsle. Theie was something nhout
her that forbade any active outside In
terference In her private affairs, mid
the most Inn dencd simnlal-monger
lucked eournge to approach her oti the
subject of Dirk's delinquencies, past
nnd present.
I say 'present" advisedly, for though
he fontrtnidnteil inatrlmotiy lw did not
cnnlPiiiplato giving u the amusements
and associations that belonged of tight
t his bachelor days, rvrtnlnly those
amusements and iissoi latlons were less
!n evidence llniii tln-v had been before
his engagement, but the remained 111
the background all the same and he
Intended them to remain.
.Most nun ieill up a Utile when they
liiarrv. nnd v steadier, at any rate,
for a time: hot Dick did not mean t.
Uc mount in fp as he had begun. In
rdiort. Inst-nd of his proposing to re
linquish the utoiosild amusements and
associations that li might marry Mai
file, he proposed to marry Mulsh- that
he might fiot be obliged to relinquish
tho ainu."iiients and apsoi intlons. That
Is the i an.' In a nutshell.
For he had come to the end of his
tother tit IliPt. The pntl'iieo of his long
suffering creditors was exhausted, th
Kvt would have nothing more to say
to him, his xlqnntuie was a drug In the
money lending market, and ruin, ab
solute and complete, stared him in the
face.
In suth n derp'Tate atralt there wer:
two nlternntlvs left to him and two
only. One was jovial extinction, Im
mediate end fur all time; the other
wii3 to mnrn money. Of two evils
'iiooi'e Iht leust, ami he chose to marry
money.
Ills choice lell on Mnlsle, for reasons
that were sufficiently practical,
lie proposed ti"d was accepted;
after which he proceeded to play
th? role of devoted lover to
tho hst of his ability, and It
was a role for which his handsome face
and dollghtfil manner eminently fit
ted him,
flat Malsle knew nothing of all this.
She was not Ignorant, although she
was lnnoent. and doubtless she :uts
peet"d that Dick, In common with
other men, had sown a certain amount
of wild oaw In his time, but that he
wns still assiduously engaged In sow
Ins them she did not sitstiort. Dick
knew alio did not suspect, and he
devoutly prayed that her suspicion.
might not be aroused, nt all events un
til the nuui'lage was an accomplished
fnet.
The oddlv assorted p.ilr regarded
their engagement nnd coming marriage
from totally different standpoints.
Dick's heart wan In no way concerned,
and his view of the ease was that of
a sclll'ii, reckless man of the world.
Malsle'H was that of a true and loving
woman. Ilei heart was In every way
concerned, for she had given It to Dick.
He wus nil the world to her, am! as the
jrobleii summer days sped bv, slw
drcfiliied the dream that comes to no
woman twice In n lifetime.
So thlngii went on, and the nil-Important
day that was to change Malsle
I'hnlloner Into Mr? Hick Ferrnrs drew
nearer nnd ionrer until it was only n,
week nwny.
"A vef today," said Dick, "wo
shall be man and wife. How does the
b'ea strike you'"
Thov were slltlupr out a dance to
Ether nl l.ady Itoblnson's hall, nnd
they had ih.i.-en a very comfortable
phuo to fit. In. A cozy corner of a large
balcony, fenced In by a screen and a
thick clump of tall palms, and lighted
by two or three Jnnunese lanterns
swinging oveiliend. The scented soli
tude wns delicious after the noise and
gliiie of the crowded ballroom, n pleas
ant little hrcc-Kc from the outside world
stole Its way through the chinks In
tho striped awning, the dreamy music
of the violins thrilled sweetly In the
distance. The dim light fell rosllv on
Mnlslo'a fair uplifted fai e, with its
chlsled features and satin skin, and the
groat gray e -s that were so full of
Men 08 Nurses.
There isn't one man in fifty thousand who
Is a good nurse. The average man feels as
much out of place in a sickroom as a bull
must in a china-store His heart may be
ever so full of sympathy, but his feet are
heavy and his fingers clumsy.
In most cases when a woman's general
health breaks.down the original cause is
weakness or disease of the distinctly femi
nine organism. The only permanent cure
lies in the correction of all these disorders.
Husbands should know that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the only medicine
that invariably curts nil ailments of this
nature without "local treatment" and
"examinations." It acts directly on tile
delicate and important organs concerned.
It makes them well and strong. It allays
inflammation, heals all internal ulceration
and stops debilitating drains. It soothes
and tones the nerves. Found at all medi
cine stores, An honest druggist won't urge
upon you a substitute.
" 1 hd female trouble for many years," writes
Mrs. A. Uurelbacli. of Oranger, Sweetwater Co.,
Wyoming, ''and tried inauy physicians until I
was completely discouraged. Finally J took Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for six months,
and I soon found that I was completely tuttd. I
had been so bid I could hardly watte across the
floor, but I am cow well and strong, tbauks to
Dr. Pierce."

womanly softness and tenderness, She
made 11 charming pletmv of warm, liv
ing, lovely color,
Dick spok( lightly, but he looked at
lier with u certain amount of anxiety.
He could not help feeling anxious mime
llnvs. So much depended on this Inst
venture of his nnd he was not safe even
yet. There wns a whole week of uncer
tainty before him, plenty of time that
for things to go wrong, and If they
did if they did. It wns a subject that
he did nut care to pursue to Its logical
conclusion.
A faint pink Hush stole softly Into
Malsle- cheeks. It ww tt pretty flush,
and Dick admired It critically from im
artistic point of view, though It did not
make his pulses beat one whit the fas
ter. "It strlkiH me pleasantry," she an
swered, and then she looked nt him nnd
smiled.
The smile was us pretty In Its way
as the Hush, and the two combined
weie altogether adorable. Dick's heart
thillb'd with the pride of possession, If
with no warmer feeling.
"That Is Just how it strikes me," he
snld, and laid his hand carresslngly
on her soft bare nrm. Such n pretty
arm round nnd white and dimpled as
a baby's.
She milled ut him again, and his con
science smote him, as It did from time
tt. time, for lie was not at all bad, A
vague nene of remorse stole Into Ills
heart, chilling him unpleasantly. He
could not meet the perfect lo'e and
trust that shone In her eyes, und feel
no shame.
"I'll go and get you nn Ice," he said,
rising from his scat, with a desperate
sort of feeling that he must be alone
for n minute. "Watt here till I fonw
back, nnd don't let anyone take my
place."
He hurried away, and Malsle, left
nlone, leaned back on her pillows and
gave herself up to pleasant meditation.
Ten minutes elapsed before Dick re
turned with 11 pineapple ice in one hand
ami a glass of champagne cup in the
other.
"The refreshment room was simply
packed," he explained. "I thought I
should never get near the table. This
ice looks rather choice, and " He
broke off ubruptly. For the llrst time
his eyes had fallen on Mnlsle's face,
and what he read there shocked and
startled him beyond expression. In
those ten minutes she had aged ten
years. "What Is the matter?" he asked,
falling bock a step and stnrlng at her
In horrified amazement. "Have you seen
a ghost? Ale you 111?"
She rose and faced him in the dim
light her hands clasped convulsively to
gether, her face deathlike In Its ghastly
pallor, and In her wide, strained eyes
such dumb misery nnd blank despair as
he had never seen in any mortal eyes
before.
"I am not 111," she said, "but but
oh! an nwful thing has happened an
awful thing."
.She paused, but Dick said nothing. He
waited In silence for her to go on.
"After you had gone," she exclaimed,
"after you had gone, I heard people
talking on the other side of the screen.
They couldn't see me, and I couldn't
see them, but I could hear every word
they said." She paused again, and put
her hand suddenly to her throat, as If
something choked her. "They were
talking of you," she said.
Dick laughed shortly, though his
heart sank like lead. lie knew what
wns coming.
"Oh! I dnre say," ho returned, with
uneasy defiance. "And what did they
find to say about me? Scandal of all
sorts, no doubt."
She turned to him desperately,
"I ought not to have listened, I know
that, but I heard the first words by
accident, nnd then and then I could
not move. I seemed turned to stone. I
can never forget the things they said--and
the woman was worse than the
man."
You bet!" Dirk said cynically. He
did not look nt her. but at the shining
tips of ills irreproachable patentleather
shues. "You may as well tell me the
whole story and have done with it," he
went on, "I hate hearing things piece
meal." She put her hand on the back of a
chair ns If to steady herself, and stood
there looking at him her face white
and set, her eyes glowing with an un
wonted lire,
"They talked," she said, "of you and
your life; of your love for gambling,
and racing, nnd every form of dissipa
tion, and nnd of other things that
can't be mentioned between you and
me. Was it Is it all true?"
He laughed again.
"I'm not a saint," ho said, "I never
professed that. Did you expect me to
lie one?"
She looked nt' him straight In the
face.
"N'o," slid answered quietly, "I didn't
expect you to bo n saint but I be
lieved you to he n man of honor."
He was not quite hardened, and her
words cut like a knife. He winced.
"flu on," he muttered, between his
teeth
She Hushed suddenly scarlet, then
Blew white up death.
"I don't know how to go on," she said,
"and yet I must. After what they be
gun to talk of me of you and me
und they snld they said" She broke
off with a gesture that was nll-elo-liient.
"Go on," he said nsnln.
She raised her eyes slowly to his.
"They snld," file went on desperately,
"that you did not love me, that you
never loved me. and that you only
naked me to marry you because you
had run through all your money, and
because because oh! tho shame of
It! beeuuso my money would enable
you to keep on with the old life and
the old associations. They said you had
not given them up and did not Intend
to glvo thorn up, even after our mar
riage even after our marriage. Is that
true?"
H' Rhrunsed his shoulders.
"Yes," he answered recklessly; it's
true eunuch."
Bhe looked nt him for a moment in
silence, then turned nwny.
"I loved you," she snld, "I trusted
you."
Dick groaned In spirit. The situa
tion was the most embarrassing nnd
unpleasant one In which he had ever
found himself.
fie hnd behaved like a blackguard
the fact could not bo glossed over to a.
good nnd true woman, and (die had
found him out. It was not tho first
time that ho had behaved like a black
guard to a woman, nor the first time
that he had been found out, but then
thoso other women were not Ilko Mal
sle. As lie stood there, staring at the floor
In sullen silence and feeling llko h
prisoner nt tho bar, ho thought of all
I that this meant to him and It rot
Just everything. He had lost his laRt
chance. Nothing lay before him but
ruin and misery and degrndntlon. It
wns alt over now. Ho had played a
desperate game, and his luck had failed
him nt the. critical moment. There
was no more to be said or done. Hence
forth his world wo.u1d know him not.
As he renlled this with Intense bit
terns of spirit, he suddenly realized
something else, too something that
lilted hlin with surprise so overwhelm
ing, so bewildering, so nppalllng, that
it drowned for the lime being nil other
feelings. It was Malsle! The woman
to whom he had sold himself in order
that he might retain certain things,
had, by Homo strangely Ironlenl freak
of fate, became far dearer to him than
the things for whose sake he had been
inonvthun willing to sell himself. And
he had not known It until that mo
ment. It lias been said that we never np
pieclnte n thing nt Its true value until
we have lost It, nnd Dick bowed to the
truth of the old saying.
Now thnt Malsle was lost to him
forever, he realised nil that she had
been to him realized that he wns
honestlj and genuinely In love for the
first time In his life, and with a woman
he had never admired before. And this
new strnnge love had grown up In his
heart so ipd'Hly und gradually that he
had not expected Its existence till the
present crisis had caused It to leap Into
sudden passionate being.
Truly we tire but puppets In the
hands of destiny.
"I love you," Malsle said again, her
soft voice strained nnd broken, her soft
eyes dim with bitter tears, "nnd I
thought I thought you loved me."
For minutes that seemed hours to
both of them, Dick stood still, staring
at the floor, with bis hands thrust
(lei p In his pockets. Then he rnlsed
his eyes slowly to her face, and made
a flep forward
"Fin not going to r.sk you to forgive
inc." he saul, "that would be n waste
tl lime. Mine w.is the sin, und mine
must be the punishment. After to
n'c.ht you'll never sec me ngnlu, but I
should like to tell you the truth be
fore I go. I Ivgrn by telling you lies,
but you're not the sort of woman a
man goes on telling lies to. Listen.
It's true that I've always been a bad
lot nnd that 1 always meant to go on
being a bad lot. It's true, too, that I
didn't care for you when I proposed to
you nnd that I only nsked you to mar
ry me so that I might have the means
of going on us I hnd begun. So much
for the pnst now for the present." He
paused for a moment, then went on In
n lower tone: "The present Is that I
love you, but God knows how It has
come about, for I give you my word
of honor-1 never knew It till this mo
ment. It seems a queer thing that n
man should love a woman without
knowing it, but the world Is full of
queer things. Yes, I lovo you. You
nre more to me now than all the
things that I used to think made life
worth living. I hate the old life nnd I
hate tho old associations. The mere
thought of them sickens me. I have
been blind, but I nm blind no longer.
My eyes are opened."
He paused ngaln nnd sighed hope
lessly. She looked nt him.
"You love me," she said In a breath
less whisper; "you love mo after all!
Is It true?"
"Yes," he answered, with a hoarse
laugh, "it's true. As true as that I
stand here the most miserable and
nshnmed nnd degraded man on nil
God's earth. You're a good woman
and perhaps with your help I might
have got to be different In time. Hut
It's no use thinking nbout that now;
it's too late. Now there's nothing left
to me but to go. 'Wr've both had our
say, nnd I won't nsk you to shako
hands with me. Good-by."
And ns he spoke he turned and walk
ed slowly away,
Malsle stood there wh'Te ho left her,
her hands pressel together ns In a con
vulsive clasp, th? hot color tlushlng
nnd fndlng In her cheeks, a new,
rtrange light Hashing In her eyes. Onre
twice, she strove to sneak, but her
ttcmbllng lips eiuld not frame the
word? she wished to utter.
' hen he reached the screr-ri ho turned
and loi ked back n last long look,
Slv. found her voire then.
"Dick"' she cried, "Dick!"
He did not mvi but stood there
loil'.nc nt her In filer to.
FK ramp qulck'v toward him,
"Don't go," she said, "I don't want
you to go. I want you to Btay,"
A dazed expression crossed his face.
"Stay?" he repeated stupidly. ".Stay?
I I don't understand."
Her eyes dazzled him wfth their
glow and tenderness as they looked
Into his.
"Yes stay," she said. "Don't go away
from me. I I can't spare you. Nev
er mind the past; let It rest. Never
mind what you have been; that Is over
and done with. It was not the fact
of your being baa that broke my heart,
but the thought that you did not ln'e
me. Hut now now oh! you say you
loves me now, and that makes ud foi
everything. I was n'i that I wanted
you to sav. If mu love me and hate
the old life, won't you shall I can't
we begin a new life together von and
I?"
He drew n loiijr, deep breath and
passed his hands over his eyes. He felt
like a 1111 In a drrmn.
"You could never trust me," he snld
nnd last, and his vice sounded honrso
and broken. "You wr.uld always re
menio?r how I deceived you once, and
so should 1 . You hud better let me
go. The risk Is too erat."
She smIU'M up in his face.
I unt no afrn'd of the risk," sho
said. "I n pi will if. to undertake it
If you wiil share it.'
And s'ie held out her hands to him

Tho above map has been carefully com
piled from t'nlted States documents by
the Pe-ru-nii Dru5 MnnufaeturlnR Com
pany of Columbus, Ohio. The Ilgures
were taken f.'om the lutcst mortal tta-
tistles published by the government ami
entirely agree with the archive.1 kept at
tho Hartman Sanitarium.
The map Is mndo In four hhades. The
lUhtest shade shows the slates which
luivo the lowest per cent, of deaths' due
to catarrhal diseases. In these states
veiy close to J2 per cent, of nil deaths In
l&'ji) were due to catarrhal olhoasrs. That
is to s.iy, over four out of every ten
deaths were from catr.nhal affections.
In the states of next darker shade the
per cent, varies from VI to 4.1, In the
next datker shade, K to 4S per cent, ot
tho whole number of deaths resulted
from cutarrlinl dlseas.es. In the darkest
shade we have Indicated the states in
which ovi'r M per cent., or one half or
more, nf all the deaths were directly
traceable to catarrh ns the cause.
This Is an nppalllng state of affairs.
As many people die trom catuirhal ut
fectlons as all who tic from nccldent,
from contagious dlreases, fiom hereditary
diseases, and all other causes added to
gether. Smallpox has its terrors and
yellow fever Its scares, but these nro
slight affairs compared to tho mortality
of catarrhal discuses.
This nation has got to confront tho
fact that catarrh has become a national
curse. Catarrhal dlsrases threaten the
life of our people. Over oue-halr of the
people suffer from some form or degree
of catarrh. Fully thlrty-lhe million peo
ple are personally Interested in the dis
covery of a radical catarrh cure.
A great nviny remedies for temporary
relief have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, rnams and
other local applications, but us a rule
the medical piotesslon has llttlo or no
enthusiasm In tho treatment of catarrh.
It Is generally pronounced by them to
be Incurable. It therefore crrated a
great sensation In medical circles when
Dr. Hartman ur.cunced that he had de
vised a compound which would euro ca
tarrh permanently. The remedy was
named IV-ru-na, and In n short time be
came known to thoupands of catarrh
sufferers north, south, east and west.
Letters testifying to tho fact that !
-ru-na Is a radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from nil directions. Thou
sands of such letters are on file In the of
fices of the Ie rutin Drug Manufactur
ing Ccmpary. These letters are not
used for publication except by the ex
press wish cf the writer. A pamphl't
filled with such letters will be sent to
nny nddri-ss free.
I'o-iii-na cuics catarrh, chronic and
acute. Abr.Ut this there can be no ques
tion. Kvcrybody admits It. The only
question that cap be raised Is whether
the cures remain permanent. A few of
tho manv people who were cured yearn
ago will be ufked to speak on this point.
Anyone doubting the genuineness or
any letter can easily l.fcome satisfied by
writing to the nrtdresa unoer each one.

This was a cuso of catarrh In Its most
ordinary form. Catarrh of tho head ind

always located In the head, noso or
