A tnore beantiful or romantic situation for a young- man to tell the story of his love and ask the young woman of his choice to share his life cannot be imagined. The courtship of a young couple may be ever so romantic and their married life be very unhappy. There are common sense considerations outside of love that have a world to do with the making of married happiness. One of the most important of these considerations is the good health of both parties to the sacred tie. The young man who is in the incipient stages of con sumption commits a crime if he marries before ha is restored to health. He con demns his wjfe to the life of 'a nurse and his children to early death, or lives of sick ness and suffering. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures 9S per cent, of all cases of consumption if taken in its earlier stages This is its record established dur ing the past thirty years It is the great blood-maker, flesh-builder, nerve tonic and genera! restorative. The young woman who suffers from weak ness and disease of the delicate and im portant organs that make wifehood and motherhooa possible has no right to answer "Ves" toa young man's proposal until she is thoroughly restored to health in a wom anly way. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion prepares a woman for wifehood and motherhood. It makes her strong, healthy and vigorous where a woman most needs health, strength and vigor. Thousands of women have testified to its merits. "My daughter," writes Mrs. N A. Thomas, af Little Rock. Ark., "had been under a doctor's care for four years. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription, which cured me, also cured her." Dr. Humphreys' Specifics act directly upon the disease, without exciting disorder in other parts of the system.

By EMILY & WINDSOR. •-Copyright, xByB MISS BIGGS had always said that she did not like surprises, for they were "mostly unpleasant;" but this one was decidedly not of that cat egory. It had come by the eight o'clock mail the previous morning, end Miss Biggs was still in a state of the greatest amazement. It was only when reading the plainly typewritten, lines that she felt that she Was not. dreaming. She took up the letter again, al though she now almost knew it by heart. There, after a number of legal phrases, was the gist of it all. "Which estate, after all lawful debts are paid, consists of a mortgage of $4,000 on a property in the neighbor ing village of Itendor. The said mort gage is overdue, and foreclosure was about to have been made by the late Mr. Biggs." Yes, there it was, and there was the signature in his own handwriting, of Lawyer John Penny. Four thousand dollars, and left her by a cousin with whom she had not been on friendly terms for years. Why, it seemed a fortune! Miss Biggs' glance went around the room. The colors in the carpet had all faded to a dull gray, but she could have a new one now. Some of the chairs wero going through in the scat; they should be recaned. And she would buy a new lounge like the one in Dawson's fur niture shop, covered with maroon leather. But, best of all, she could have a headstone put to her father's grave. She was still absorbed in her con templated expenditures when a knock came at the door. Miss Biggs hurried ly thrust the letter into the pocket of her gown before admitting her visitor, who proved to be Mrs. Sprague. Her plump countenance was flushed from rapid walking. "La, Susan!" she exclaimed in a high-pitched voice; "I met Deacon Cosset a few minutes ago, and he told me that he'd just got back from PlainvMle, where he heard that your cousin Hiram had died and left you. all his money—so I just ran right, over," and she sank into a rocking chair. "Do tell me," she went on, as Miss Biggs closed the door, and sat down opposite her, "if it is true." Miss Biggs replied stiffly that it was. Martha Sprague's loud voice and love, of news had always annoyed licr. "Well, to be sure," exclaimed Mrs Sprague. "What luck! 'To them that hath shall be given,' ns the Scripture. says. When did you hear about it?' "f received a lawyer's letter yester-" day," replied Miss Biggs, coldly. "La, to think of Hiram Biggs leav ing you his money when you were not friends for so long. This is a strange' world." And Mrs. Sprague shook her head thoughtfully. Miss Biggs made no reply to this profound statement. She sat stiff and upright, her eyes fixed in cold polite pess on her visitor's face, "niram was counted pretty rich," said Mrs. Sprague, tentatively. She had u burning wish to know the junount of money which Miss Biggs had inherited, but she did not dare to psk plainly. "I believe so," assented Miss Biggs, indifferently. Mrs. Sprague rocked back and forth. It was plain that Miss ISiggs was not going to give her any information on the subject of her legacy, so after a few desultory re marks, sht? rose reluctantly to go. As Kl-e reached the door, she turned sud denly. "O, Susan," she said, her black eyes Knapping spitefully; "guess whom Dea con Gosset saw in Plainville. Sallie Mayhew! Don't you remember lirr? But, la, I forgot, of course you do," and she laughed meaningly. "You know," she went on, "everyone won (lered where she and Jim went. Well, it seems they went out west, where tiin made money. 'I hey came back to this Btatc- about ten years ago, and Jim bought quite a fine place not far from Plainville. But he lost most everything just before he died a year ago. Deacon Gosset said that Sallie looi.s so poor and miserable. And r-lie s jjot a Jot of children, so you didn't miss much by not getting Jim, uutl with another laugh Mrs. Sprague went away. Miss I'.iggs had arisen with her vis itor. und listened to her with apparent unconcern, a .lull red which had Into her cheeks being the only sign that Mrs. Sprague's words aroused any interest. But when the latter had gone, she threw herself into a chair, and buried her face 111 her hands. A tumult of feeling took possession of her, aroused by the memories which those names had stirred up. She had not heard tliem for so long, ami n<> one but Mar tha Sprague would have dared! It was ill) BO long ago—2o year* - ■ that tlie painand shumi' of it had grown dim. And he was dendl Yet was it HO j long ago? It seemed but yesterday j that he was with her talking of their j coming marriage. She had loved him i go, and had been HO proud of him, J though she had not said much about It; it had never been her way to talk n great deal. Then eamc that dreadful day when they" told her that he had gone away and married Sallie, with her J yellow hair and pink cheek*. That aw fill day—she could remember the shame and ngony of it yet! And now , lie was dead had been dead a year. There WHS no feeling of anger in her I heart toward lilrn; there never had been much. She had known that he I ivus weak and Sallie had led him on. | Hut for her how shf hated her! It fd'e her eh ivnr .......n M'-H. fiprague's wordn about her looking , poor and miserable. She was glad that she was buffering;- i It was but just. The next morning Mis* liigg* donned her old black alpaca gown, which she had carefully brushed. Fortunately, Ihc day, for the Iwginnlng of autumn, was colli enough to warrant her wear ing her winter cape, which hid the worn spots in her waist. She had j freshened her bonnet with new ribbon, *o that, as she started to the station ! pext morning, she looked really very well. The excitement of the occasion ffavc color and warmth to her face, jjlfe was not so hard with $4,000 in prospect. She stepped along briskly. One of the uppermost thoughts in Highs' mind during the trip to I'iuinvillc was the stone which she !oubl now put to her father's grave. 1 t should lie ii fine one, and she would order It that very day In I'lainville, as foon ns her Interview with Lawyer l'enny was over. She found the latter awaiting her. lie was an elderly man with kindly gray eye*. After he had made \arious explana tions regarding Miss Itiggs' legacy, 1# laid, rather hesitatingly: < "My late client was about to lore-, i plose the mortgage, but perhaps you' will be disposed to exercise a little' clemency, and extend the time. Itisa' sad case. If James Mayhew had lived—" i "Who?" Interrupted Miss Jiiggs, 1 sharply. The lawyer looked at licr in surprise. 1 •"James Mayhew. If he had lived the ' mortgage would, no doubt, have been j 1 lifted, but dying ro suddenly, he left | (lis family in very straightened elr- < eumstances. If time Is given Mrs. ( Mayhew will most likely be able to pay I the money. She is going bravely to j t work, and her eldest boy will soon be in a position to help her. If you •will make easy terms for her. It will be a great blow to her to lose her home." Lawyer Penny paused and looked in quiringly at his visitor, but she made no reply, and he went on: "I should be sorry to see them lose It. If you are willing to extend the time, Mrs. Mayhew will be here to flay, and it would be a great relief to her to know—" Miss Biggs stood up abruptly. "I believe I need remain no longer this morning. You will foreclose at once, as you were about to do for my cousin Hiram. Good morning," and she walked quickly out of the office. Miss Biggs had walked some distance when she remembered her intention of ordering the stone for her father's grave, but she had passed the stone cutter's shop, which was several blocks back. She would not retrace her steps, for she felt strangely tired pnd weak. She had eaten scarcely any breakfast that morning. She would return home on the noon train instead of passing the day in Plainvillle, as she had intended. So she turned in the direction of the station. When she reached it a suburban train had just come in, and the passengers were hur rying across the platform. One of them, a woman, was pushed heavily against Miss Biggs. She began to apologize, but stopped suddenly, as Miss Biggs looked up at her with a quickly suppressed exclamation. The two women stared at each other a few moments, and then Miss Biggs brushed past with a brusque movement, and hurried into her train. Sallie Mayhew! And so thin, pale, and aged! The blue eyes dim and the yellow hair faded. How different from the pink and white face which had tempted Jim. The weather changed suddenly that evening. A cold and steady rain set in. Miss Biggs found it so depressing that she lit a fire on the broad hearth of her sitting-room, reflecting as she did so, that with those $4,000, it was no longer necessary to deny herself such little comforts. She settled herself to enjoy the blaze, but she could not rest. She felt peculiarly unquiet, and tried to account for it by telling her self that she was tired out after her trip to riainville, but as her unrest in creased, she gave up the attempt of trying to conceal from herself its true cause. Finally she put into shape a resolution which had been trying to force itself upon her all afternoon, and then going to bed, slept peacefully. Among Lawyer Penny's letters the next morning was the following: "Mr. J. B. Penny—Dear Sir: Tou will not foreclose that ir.ortca>,'<>. I wish you to make whatever arrangement will best suit Mrs. Mayhew Very truly yours. "SUSAN BIGOS." "I declare," said Mrs. Sprague during the winter: "Susan Biggs ought to be ashamed of herself to go on wearing those shabby old clothes when she has so much money. She got all that property of Hiram's, and she is just as saving as ever. And it is a disgrace for her to leave her father's grave without a stone. I've no patience with such people."
