Neighbors Say the Same.
Bodines, Pa.—"l will drop you a few
lines to let you know that your 'Favor
§ite Prescription' lias
done me a womler
"Seven years ago
when our first child
was born I was left
miserable. I doc
tored with two phy
sicians without any
relief. I then went
to see one of the
head doctors in
Williamsport; he
paid I must have an operation at once
and that I should quit work, but that
was something I could not do. I then
liogan taking your 'Favorite Prescrip
tion,' and It helped me so much. I
always suffered so until our last child
was horn when I got along nicely. I
shall never go through it again without
your medicine."—Mas. F. W. MYERS.
The mighty restorative power of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription speedily
causes all womanly troubles to disap
pear—compels the organs to properly
perform their natural functions, cor
rects displacements, overcomes irregu
larities, removes pain and misery at
certain times and brings back health
«nd strength to nervous, irritable and
exhausted women.
It is a wonderful prescription, pre
pared only from nature's roots and
herbs, with no alcohol to falsely stim
ulate and no narcotics to wreck the
nerves. It banishes pain, headache,
backache, low spirits, hot flashes,
dragging-down sensation, worry and
sleeplessness surely.

Ann shlvared again tinder some
thing shs Mad In Madam* Holmes'
•yea. She had felt tt even before the
woman crossed the threshold, had
been feeling it In ever Increasing vol
ume while de Retsky and her hue
band outlined plans for hla operatlo
studies abroad. The great ginger had
been silent, strangely client since it
was she who was doing the flnanolng
of that voice. And now the wife
know that Madam was about to apeak
and with her eyes pleaded to the
oelebrlty—as woman to woman—for
pity, for oharity. And Madame shrank
before that look, even while her llpa
tightened.
"Of course," sho said slowly, "I
shall provMe for your wife while you
are abroad, Mr. Merwln."
Though she had been expecting a
blow, though shO had nerved herself
for the worst, Ann could not repress
the little cry of incredulous pain that
leaped from her lips. Her hands
sought her heart gropingly, the hands
that still gripped the shoe, i
"You mean—you mean that I am i
not to go—that Henry is to go alone — j
to leave me and—and —"
"A student should have no dlstrac- i
tion in his studies."
Ann felt something go dead within :
her. Something that had been alive
and pulsating before turned of a eud
den leaden and cumbersome. Know
ing the futility of it. she could not re
sist looking at de Retsky for confirm
ation of the sentence but be turned
away his head. Her hands went out
In groping fashion toward her hus
band.
"Henry you —you want to leave—"
She could not finish for the great,
choking rob constricting her throat,
suffocating her.
He whirled upon her fiercely,
Good Now«-
plunged into a rage of his own creat
ing, but Madame flashed him a warn
ing look as Ann sank beck In her
chair.
"My dear," in the greet soprano's
voice were all the tones thtat had
Quickened tears In the hearts of au
diences throughout the world, "you
must not make It any harder than it
Is already. Don't you know that I
understand; that I am a woman, and
that I understand your pain at part
ing?" She moved a step closer, plac
ing her hand upon Ann's shoulder
and turning upon ttie two men.
"You have your choice, Mr. Merwln
—milkman or a Voice. I had the
choice and Voice won. It has brought
me fame, wealth, honor, glory; It has
lost me all that my heart would have
clung to dirt I consider happiness
alone Ido not say that It Is always!
so but the price of fame Is -often mis
ery The price of Fame must be paid j
and Fame Is a hard bargainer."
Ann looked up eagerly, timidly, yetj
with a strarge ferocity to catch the
Impression upon her husband. What
she read upon his face filled her with!
swift self-reproach.
"I think I understand," ghe whls-j
pered softly. "I want the fame fori
him."
The singer stooped and picked up!
the little worsted shoe, turning It over ;
and over in her hands. "Yes, the
price of fame is great, hut I would
be no artist did I permit, without giv
ing him his opportunity, the voice of
your husband to remain where It Is. ;
He will pay the price; others will pay!
the price: but that Is the lot of the
artist."
IV.
Years that seemed Interminable,
years of goading desperation, dis
couragement self-sacrifice, endur
ance stretched behind Henry Merwln
as he halted a moment at the stage
door of the New York Grand Opera'
House to allow one of the stars to
enter. A bitter smile curved his lips,
lips that had tlghtered since the days
when the milk route alone oppressed
his mind, as he slowly made-up In
the male dressing room for a peasant
in the opening act of "Pagliaccl." He
was a chorus man—only a chorus
j man.
From below he could hear the
I strains of "Cavaleria Hustlcana"
which preceded "Pagliaccl" and the
voice of Cabosso, greatest of ail ten-'
ors. Cabosso, who stood where the
ignorant, young milkman hsdi
i dreamed of standing; Cabosso, the;
announcement of whose singing was!
sufficient to pao.k the great house !
I The snul of the o.rtist within himi
I struggled impotentlv at his situation,'
the difference between the dream and
the reality. Caboeso singing Canlo,,
the bitter, disillusioned pantaloon.
When everything that life could hold
•was his: and he, Henry Merwln, with
a voice no less than that of the star,!
sang among the peasants. Uncon-j
sciously he threw himself Into the
role of the man, compelled to amuse
the public with his antics, compelled
to don grease paint when he wished
to smear his face with the blood of
rival and unfaithful wife. Hig lips
opened and the tenor aria at the close
of the first act poured from his throat.
He stopped abruptly as a hand fell
upon his shoulder, biting his Hps In
mute embarrassment as he looked up
Into the oyes of the stage manager. It
dawned upon him that he was trans
gressing the rules of the house In
singing, that, in all likelihood, he
would be discharged. And suddenly
he was seized with a vast, overwhelm
ing desire to hold this position that a
moment before had roused all his re
sentment.
"Are you up on the role on
Canlo?" The words were crisp, brit
tle, mandatory.
PRESBYTERIAN CI.KHUYMKX VT ; , ~ " ; ' "
SII,VI:H KPRIKCS MI:I:TI\<; that place, was In charse. The
Presbyterian clerwymon nf Harris-majority of the Presbyterian pastors
;)'Ui sc and vicinity attended the regular In llils city were present. The Rev. C.
tn'olithTv"iriefitH«'« a "tvo- •• R KeSrelken. of Steelton, wkh the prin-'
ver Springs. The Rev. T. J. Ferguson, clpal speaker of the session. .
For a moment he did not under
stand, then a quick flush mantled his
cheeks at what he took for sarcasm.
, A hot answer was on the tip of his
tongue, checked only In time as he
I read upon the faoes about him that
i the man was really In earnest. He
, rose swiftly, hla hand gripping at the
lapel of the stag« manager's coat even
as the man fairly dragged him down
' the narrow, iron stairway toward the
director, who raged about in the
wings, his face the picture of misery.
He laughed lronloally as his under
ling whispered to him, sizing the
I I chorus-man up and down.
"Canlo!" he laughed. "Substitute
, for Cabosso! What Is your training?
, Who coached you?"
"Spreglla, Lamperti "
|j "But who coached you In Canlo?"
Though his Interruption was harsh,
The Woman or the Wife?
Merwln could see a light of interest
In his eyes.
"De Reszkl Jean himself,
coached."
,; Make up—quickly," the director
decided sharply. He turned away,
lifting his hand to the assistant stage
! manager and slowly the curtain rose.
As he darted to the dressing room be
hind the stage manager, Merwln
'caught the creak of that curtain and
knew that he would never get the
Bound from out his ears.
He heard nothing of the stage-man
ager's instructions, was numbly con
scious of getting Into the costume of
J the pantaloon, heard nothing of the
i director's instructions as, In a cold per
isplration, he waited for the baritone
|ito finish with the prologue.
Fear was upon him, cold, dank
fear. Could he have run from the
place, could he have put a finish to
every ambition he had pressed so
closely to his very soul, could he have
| thrust it all aside at that moment,
j he would have done so rather than
| suffer the fiery heat alternating with
\ Icy cold that seized his body, be tor
tured by the prickling fingers at his
spine, the harsh grip at his heart.
" don't mind the whispering
and talking while you sing. They do
it with everyone but Cabosso "
He heard no more but those words
seared themselves in letters of fire
upon his brain. His teeth clicked
shut with an audible sound. Suddenly
all the stage fright disappeared be
fore an anticipatory rage. Theyr
I SHOULD NOT whisper and talk whilei
he sang; they SHOULD treat his voloe
with the same respect they treated
that of Cabosso. His voice was the
equal of the great tenor's.
Unconscious of his audience, of the
stir of curiosity at his appearance in
stead of the familiar Cabosso, regard
less of everything save overweening
desire to win, Henry Merwln hardly
, realized he was upon the stage befors
the curtain stared him In the face, the*
, curtain which formed a barrier
the tumultuous applause of
| the audience at his performance, and
| shut him into the other world behind
| the scenes, the world of fellow-singers
j who made him realize the tremendous
; j Impression he had created.
He suddenly felt himself very weak,
felt his Impotence. He needed help,
j sympathy—he needed —Ann—
Swiftly he discarded his costume,
j but illy wiping the grease paint from
his countenance. But In his eyes
i glowed something of happiness, grow
.jlng from more than fame as, half an
Jhour later, he re-read the message he
has just written before passing It to
' the agent.
Ann Merwin, Los Angeles, Cal.:
■j Come to New York at once. No
; | more poverty. HENRY.
I • V.
He waited In the library, listening
to the sounds of delight from Ann's
, room.
In the week he had tasted the fruit
• of success and laughed at the fear he
i had entertained of it. To be sought
» out by the great director and placed
I I under a contract at a figure he had
», only vaguely dreamed of ever earning;
, to be the toast of town and press, to
sbe Invited Into the very heart of
I society's most sanctified circle; to
l know that it was all deserved—surely
t they were fools who had told him
s the price to be paid for fame was
j heavy.
And now Ann was h n re, was so close
s to him he had but to tap upon the
' adjoining door to see her, so close to
> him he could hear her delighted ex
- clamatlons over the gown he had
»ibought for her to wear at Mrs. Van
l Rolphe's reception that very night; so
j'close he could hear her protests as
j!the maid coiffed her hair! so close he
i could hear the prattle of his baby's
, I voice, could still feel the rosebud llpa
;pressed against his own, the baby ha
j had never seen but that was his. Could
anything add to his happiness—
J Slowly a frown creased his forehead,
j a perplexed and anxious frown. Ann—■
! would Ann be able to live up to the
position he had created for her;
IjWould she fit Into the niche; would
,'ehe be accepted as a suitable wife fqr
,|the great tenor? It had taken time
j and years abroad to make of him the
! Henry Merwin of today, while she re
f malned where he had left her—the
, country girl who married a milkman.
>l' Pretty, fresh, wholesome—yet she
. •was obviously uncomfortable in her
1 finery. There was something of the
i out-of-doors about her that did not
j seem to fit into the new life. He felt
t himself guiltily contrasting her with
. the dark, exotic beauty of Olga Drake.
( the woman who had made so much of

r the woman who had seemed so de
. sirou* of being with him alone, de-
L spite the gallants besieging her. And

beauty, was not less famous as a social
, dictator than he was as a singer.
