Kdlo Williams wont to tho Crow
thor's garden party with tho words",
"Will lie bo thcro?" lepeatlng them
selves In her mind.
"Your am looking your best, my
tloar," said her old aunt. "It unythlng
the matter?"
"The matter, auntie! T)oca one hnve
to have a fever or a broken limb to
look one's best?"
Belle laughed as sln noke.
Hut Mrs. CJroythoino'n teply was
calm enough.
"I've known a ghl Willi a broken
lieait to make u Rteat sensation In a
ball-loom my dour," she snld.
Whereat Kdle laughed again. This
time, however, she laughed with an ef
fort, as she glanced ut her relative's
weather-beaten, kindly countenance.
Had she guessed anything?
Out that seemed unlikely, for airs.
Oraythorne's words weie trlval
(nough.
"I ptopose, Edith, to spend my af
ternoon mostly under that nice shndy
mulberry trey by the fountain. One
does not often see such a nice tree."
Yes. he was there, sure enough; he,
Max Kddlngton, late of Tlldwell. now
"if London, and the author of two sin
gularly dramatic book1", the fame
whereof had drifted down to Hldwell.
And, as Edle expected, he wa fearfully
lionized.
Quite eaily Edle told herself that the
minor Hldwell was Just now digesting
with gieat unctliin was pertectly true.
Having shnkeii lilir.selt free of his con
gratulating acquaintances, Max Kd
dlngton stole off toward a lecluded
arbor with Mniguret Lonsdale, the
heiress.
Someone near Kdle ticked 'oineone
ele:
' Will he main her, do you think."
'I pity him If he does," said ths
other These weie two girls. Edle
sympathized with them both. She, too,
would pity Mas if he married the cold
natured Miss Lonsdale, In spile of her
hundred thousand pounds. As for her
own feelings well, she would try to
bear them.
"My dear Mls Wllllnms, we want
you sadly in a set," here broke In Mr.
Crcswoll, (i trivoloiis voting barrister.
"Are you so veiy much engrossed In
our literary gent's love affairs?"
"I'll pl'iv with pleasure" she said.
Do you think they will muke a match
of it?"
"I think not," he replied, "filrls like
Miss Lonodi'lt-. with mothers like Mrs.
Lonsdale, toy with the ou!s of genius,
but don't marry genius."
Edle trembled. Mr. Cresswell was
cleir as well as frivolous. Desldis,
she thought as he did.
"Would she dare''" she murmured.
"Dare, did you say? Why, Mis Wil
liams, what Is there your braver sex
would not dau-? You'd act befoie the
iiueen, I believe, fur instance!"
Yes, that was true. Edl told herself.
She was celebrated all over tho coun
ty for her noting, as an amateur. But
whero was tho bravery In that?
After the set. she was resting and
drinking something w ith a good deal
of lemon In it. when Max slipped him
self from behind the ihododendrons and
dropped upon the seat by her.
"Well, Kdlo!" he said.
She was struck bv his expression; all
the hope seemed to have left It.
' It anything wrong?" she asked
quietly.
"Oh, denr, no. I have been In love,
proposed to the lady, been rejected
with something akin to scorn, and and
1 believe that's all."
Ills bitterness shocked her.
'Oh, Max, I'm so sony." she said.
"Sorry! Not nt all. It's a useful ex
perience. Look here, Kdle, you and I
understand each other, as we ought
to after playing together as little kid
dies, and so forth. Maik mo, I shall
do .something great on the strength of
this, I'll confess something to you."
(Ho laughed sardonically.) "My first
story was built on a boy and girl love
affair; do you remember?"
Accomplished actress though she was
an an amateur Kdle colored to tho
hairline on her foichead. Did she re
member? "Yes, I remember," she answered,
trying also to laugh. "A little hard
on me, though, Max!"
"Not at nil. Of course, one Is never
serious In one's teens. You never
meant to love mo forever, though you
did say you would. And tho same
with me, I suppose. Well, as I said,
my affair with Miss Lonsdale will servo
a good turn, too."
HELD CAPTIVn.
The most
j terrible cap.
J tivity a worn
I an can ex.
Iperience is
to feel ber
jself com
I pletely inca
pacitated for
all womanly
duties,
bound hand
and foot, as
it were, by
bome nere
racking, life
draining dis
ease or weak-
tien, In
a condition she
' cannot be a happy wife or
"mother; she cannot be an
efficient housekeeper: she
cannot be a woman at all
in any complete or satis
factory sense.
"I was afflicted for seven.
teen months," writes Mrs.
Itlliabeth J. Bullnrd, of Winnie. Illaden Co.,
N. C . In a significant letter to I)r R V. Tierce,
of llufi'alo, N. Y. " I was confined to the home
and yard all the time. I could not he on my
feet but a very little. I could not lift the weight
of a cup of codec; and did not have strength to
speak more than a few words at a time.
" We tried three doctors ami a lot of patent
medicine which cost over one hundred and
twenty-five dollars; and I found no relief I had
lost an hone of e er getting any better when my
friends advised me to take Ir Tierce's medi
cine. My husband said we would try thai uezt.
He got me five bottles of Favorite Prescription
and three of ' Colden Medical Discovery I
commenced taking these medicines and soon
found relief. Wheu I had taken one bottle of
each I walked half a mile to church.
" I commenced taking It the first of January
1897; the first of the following June I took my
cooklug In hand and have cooked for eleven In
family all through the summer. It was Dr.
Tierce's medicine that gave me all the relief I
have received. I recommend it to all suffering
lemales, for It is hli medicine and the help or
Cod that has restored me."
Every suffering woman in this land
should write to Ji Pierce and learn how
certainly he can help her to health and
utrength, It costs nothing to write and
receive entirely free the advice of one of
the most experienced physicians in this
country. His great thousand-page book the
Common Sene Medical Adviser will be

"I I hope It may," said Edle.
"Thank you. Well, I'm ofT," he add
ed, wearily.
"Hldwell has seen the last of mc,
between ourselves. Faro thee well,
dear Kdie."
Her face ought to have told him
much. It certainly told him something.
"I have been such a fool," he ndded
hastily, with n. strange quick look Into
her eyes. "And I shall be ft still great
er fool before I've done."
Then Kdle sat down nnd watched
Max make his adleux to the Crowthcrs
and others, smilingly.
"Poor fellow!" she said In her heart
It did not seem to her worth her
while to pity herself also.
II.
Rut Max Kddlngton did not llnd It so
easy to Interest the public In his new
phase of mind. The book he wrote
'lth his life blood as be believed
was lamentably mocked nt.
"My dear sir," said his publisher,
when the quaiter's snles were announc
ed, "cynicism won't do, unless it's In
fchort "
"Unless It's ciulte tlist-class, ou
mean.
"Oh, no, I don't say that. But theis
Is something in your suggestion. Try
your old style, Mr. Kddlngn, and
you'll yoon regain your earlier posi
tion." For bread and butter's sake, Milt
attempted to follow his publisher's ad
vice.. But his old spontaneity was
gone. Miss Lonsdale had dono hlin
more harm than either ho or he hud
any Idea of.
In about a year Max understood that
ho had .shot his holt; he had had his
brief spell of triumph; It behooved him
to train for a long spell of neglect
and soi did ytrlving.
He went to Paris, working as tin un
attached Journalist and living how he
could.
His attic in the Latin Quarter was
not comfortable, but it was more so
than his thoughts.
Having what Is called the artistic
temperament, he suffered very much.
He grew morbid; so that tho dend
bodies on their slabs In the morgue In
terested him in more ways than one.
Things were thus with hltn when, one
May evening, he chanced In the court
yard of the Grand Hotel, to see Miss
Lunsdalc and her mother. They wero
dressed as befitted the place; he scarce
ly. Urged by Impulse, he accosted Mnr
gaiet Lonsdale, paying no heed to Mrs.
Lonsdale's levelled glasses and haughty
demeanor of unwelcome.
Miss Lonsdale was at leat kind.
Something of pity later came Into her
eyes as she remarked the great change
In Max's manners and dress.
"Mother," she said, "I hope Mr.
Kddlngton will dine with us?"
"Thank you, no," replied Max.
"Those times are over with me. Mrs.
Lonsdale perceives It If you do not.
Pray don't let mo detain you, either."
He was moving away, when Miss
Lonsdale stopped him.
"At least tell us your address," she
tuld.
"Oh," said Max, "with pleasure." He
wrote It on an envelope. "There are
llfty-nlne steps to it. I Imagine that
will suffice. Good-evening."
Ho went away feeling satisfied with
himself.
But ho was less satlrfiorl-at first
when, the next afternoon, tho concleigc
g.we him an envelope and said that two
Indies ha 1 called, and tlm tho younger
of them had slipped this into his hands.
Tho two bank note3 of 5 e.i.'h.
That night, having lit his pipe with
cne of the bank aotoi. Max rejoiced in
a return of downright forcible Inspira
tion. Ero morning he had written the
111 st act of a play which he believed
would go to tho he-m of a British
theatre crowd.
Kdle Williams, to 3, was undergoing
stinnge vicissitudes -vicissitudes that
chocked part of Hldwell, and excited
the envy of somo others in that mod
&t provincial t wn.
Her nunt had died, leaving her bare
ly enough to live upon; and the had
sought and obtained an engagement, as
Kate Burdon in a London theatre.
She did not leap to tne top of tho tree
in a week, but she showei such tnlent
that in loss than rtx mouths s-li mis
ertri'Sted with the h" -ln'.s part in a
new play of remirkttble powei.
She made tho fortur? of that play.
l.'n(? n hnd nothing but praise for her.
Her photographs nppeared In the shop
.vii. (lows. Pnrn;rai)ln wore wtltten
rboul her, and managers woofd ier.
"u: Edlo kent rcm-irkdhly cool fiur
inf; the excltenv.-nt.
Phe did not arsf.3 for jr.orc than i'T0
a week, though she ml.-jlit have got
di uble for the asking,
Php lived In .a luindscme .'la! -aloni
with her maid for her art and nothing
i''fce, she tried ro convincn herself,
though there was that In her heart that
told her differently.
Max Kddlngton had disappeared like
a burst bubble. No one knew any
thing about him or cared.
So It seemed to Kdlo, though her
faithful mind again and again discuss
ed him and wondered and wished
she scarcely knew what.
III.
It was now that chance threw them
together again.
There waB a question of a new play
for Edlo. She and tho manager looked
through many that wero submitted to
them. Max had sent his play also, at a
venture; he fancied the heroine might
suit a woman of Miss Burdon's reputa
tion. Edle's heart had a wild time when
this play was received.
"I'm going to take it home, Mr. Gal
brulth," she said, "and give it my
most earnest consideration. I used to
know him j but don't let him know
that."
She ci led a good deal that afternoon,
for it was plain to her thut Max hnd
put his own experiences Into hie work
once more.
The plot of tho play centered round
a poor but magnanimous poet and tho
two women whom he loved. In tho last
act, Just before the poet shot himself,
tho one woman had scorned his love
and given him money, and the other
hnd told him that ho was too late she
was already married.
There won strnnr ultnntlons In the
play.

"Mr. Galbralth," wild Edlo that
evening, "you must write to Mr. Ed
dlneton nnd tell lilm that if I mav
make some alterations In his work It
will suit mc. I'll make It eult you, too,
I promise."
Max replied eagerly that ot course
they could do as they liked with his
play. However, when the manager urg
ed him to come to London for reheaiiJ
als, Max declined.
"Success or failure Is po .much to
me," ho wrote, "that I daren't show my
face In the thpatro until the British
puhlio has uttered Its decree."
It was strange how these and the
like words uffected Kdle. She determin
ed to make Buch a study of her part
as should win for Max nil the fame ho
wanted. Also, she imbued her col
leagues with the like enthusiasm.
Tho result was enlendlo. In u week

portrayal of his herolno tho woman
who could not mairy tho hero because

surpilso he found that his play ended
happily In her maniage to tho poet.
