- ,Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been marvel-
ously successful in restoring sight.
It shows its powers as a blood purifier
and radical cure for scrofula, by
removing the cause, thus curing the

“As an act of justice and for theben-
efit of other mothers who may have
afflicted children, I write this. About
the first of February, 1892, my daughter
Zola, then three years old, contracted sore
eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks
Was entirely blind, being unable to tol-
erate light of any kind. She suffered and
cried until I was almost heartbroken.
The best eye specialist in the county
treated her for months, but the ~
became worse. Then I took her to a special-
ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do
nothing. I came away with a heavy heart.
I met my father’s physician, Dr. Berry-
man, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told
me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to
give it as directed and wash her eyes
with warm water. Soon I began to notice
improvement, and now, having given the
child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes
are greatly improved and she can see as
well as any one. She is five years of age,

AN AWKWARD WEEK}??-
I have knownJoan ForSyth from the
time when she wore her hair about her
She was Joan Langley then and until
she was 20, when she married Charley
Forsyth, and was sorry for her mistake
within the year. However, when he
(I led about three years later she spoke
of him with great affection; I could
not tell if it was genuine or prompted
by an artistic desire to make her man-
ners match her mourning. I believe it
was an unconscious mixture of pro-
priety and gratitude. At any rate, she
remained unmarried for some time, and
lived by herself in a pretty little house
on the comfortable income her husband
had not had time to‘lose. I was wrong
in saying she lived by herself, for a
friend, or cousin, or some old school-
fellow was always staying with her.
Joan is a popular and cheerful young
woman, and I have always been very
fond of her, but she has, or had, one
peculiarity which .I could not appre-
ciate. Until she was a. widow it was in
abeyance, but as soon as she put off
her first mourning and began to go
about and see her friends it developed
rapidly. She loved matchmaking. I
could never understand why, for her
own experience of marriage had been
most unhappy. If she had been less
sweet-tempered I should have imagined
she was copying the fox who, having
lost his own trail, tried to persuade his
friends to follow his example. Once I
suggested to her that as marriages
were made in Heaven, and even then
were not always successful, she would
be wiser to leave them to be dealt with
in the usual way.
“You are quite wrong," she said. “I
don‘t know who said that silly thing
about Heaven and marriages; of course
it was a. man, and of course he thought
he was saying something very clever.
but he really was talking nonsense.
Now there is Biddy Machin. She is
such a dear girl she deserves to be hap-
pily married.”
“So you look on a husband as a re-
ward of virtue, no matter what he is
like?” Jaxv‘w-z - -v
We were sitting in her drawing-room
at tea time. Miss Machin, who was stay-
ing with her, had not come in, so we
were enjoying our tea together. Joan
looked so contented, so oblivious of the
past, so determined to think well of
marriage as an institution that I could
not help laughing.
“How horrid you are, Jim!” she said.
“You're not a bit sympathetic; you
ought to be glad to take an interest in
anyone and bother about them. Do you
think it is for my own pleasure I do it?
Do you think I enjoy having Mr. Stam-
ford always here, for instance?”
“0, Stamford! Is he to be a. victim ‘2‘”
I asked. “Hum... -
“I don’t know why you should call
him ‘a. victim,’” she said, coldly. “I
think he will be a. most suitable hus-
band for Biddy Machin. She is one of
the noblest ‘girls I know, and has no
money, poor thing! So she must-
marry.”
“Why should Stamford provide: for
her?” I asked.
“He will be very fortunate if she lets
him. She is charming and pretty, and
he is well off, and a very good sort of
man. It is an excellent match.”
“Does she think so?” I asked.
“I have not asked her. I have some
tact Jim. She likes him very much,
and she must marry some one. They
are very good friends.”
“I thought you intended young Sim-
mons for her. Why did you change?”
I said.
“He’s not well off, you know. I found
1e had only expectations, and very dis-
tant ones, so I think Mr. Stamford
will do much better."
“What a mercenary woman you are,
Joan!” I exclaimed. “Do you only
think of money in your matchmaking
schemes? How about love?”
“0, love is such a temporary thing!”
she said, with a synical air. “Anyone
with an ounce of reason can get over an
attack of love in a month, and do very
well without it, but money you must
have.”
“And Stamford is to supply Miss
Machin with money instead of Ralph
Simmons giving her love. That is very
businesslike. When do you expect to
bring it off?”
“The engagement?” she asked.
“No, the wedding. Surely you’ve got
beyond the engagement. Miss Machin
has been with you six weeks.”
“Yes, but these things can’t be. hur—
ried,” she said, slowly. “I think Mr.
Stamford is only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to speak.”
“Surely you give him plenty,” I said,
with a laugh.
She blushed and said hastily: “You’re
not at all nice to-day, Jim. I don’t see
anything to laugh at. I can’t help it
if the man won’t propose.”
“O, is that it? He won’t come to the
point?”
“I wish you would be nicer,” she mur-
mured. '
“Indeed, I will be nice,” I protested,
seeing she was really hurt. “Tell me
about it.” ' '
“There’s not much to tell. I saw
from the first he was just. the- man for
Biddy, and she seemed to like him, and
he is always very ready to come here,
or go anywhere with us, and he brings
flowers, and sweets, and things.”
“For her?” I asked.
“Yes; at least, for both of us, and
they are very great friends,‘but—they
don’t- get any farther. He sits here for
hours, and I make all sorts of excuses
to leave them together, but when I
come back I find them sitting opposite
each other, just calmly talking; and
I shoudn’t have thought he was a. shy
man.”
“He certainly never struck me as be-
ing shy,” I said. - ,
“Then he must be a fool,” she said,
crossly. “I am always talking to him
about Biddy, and how sweet she is at
home; I’ve all but asked him to'pro-
pose to her, and he only smiles, ahd
agrees with everything. I, say. Never

take care!
things to play with, and some day you
will get your fingers burnt.”
“Nonsense! I know what I am about.
If I approved of betting, I‘would bet
anything that Philip Stamford pro-
poses to Biddy within a week.”
I arose to go as the door opened to
admit a visitor. “Mr. Stamford,” said
the maid. I smiled and glanced at Joan,
but she was back to the light and did
not notice me. Half way down the
street I came on Miss Machin walking
with a tall youth whom I recognized
as the undesirable Simmons. As they
did not see me and it was no business
of mine, I passed on.-——-
It was a week before I heard of Joan.
Then I met young Simmons looking so
unusually cheerful that I wanted to ask
him what good fortune had come to him,
but civilization forbade such inquiries
of acquaintances. After _mentioning
the weather, he said with some confu-
sion: “It was a. pity you missed Miss
Forsyth’s river party. We had a ripping
da3r-97 . ,
“Where? When?” Iexclaimed.
“Last Wednesday. .She said
asked you.”
“Yes, but I didn’t know she had asked
you,” I said, bluntly.
He blushed a little; he is a fairly in-
genuous youth and has-not outgrown
the trick.
“Well, you see,” he said, “she didn’t
exactly ask me, but I heard she was
going, and I happened to be there.
That’s how it was.”
she’d
there? That’s very curious,” said I,
looking at him, gravely, and he blushed
more than ever, tried to speak, failed,
and left me in ahurry.
I wondered what had been the result
of the party, and that afternoon I went
to find out. The maid left me in the
hall, saying she would see if her mis-
tress would see me. I am so used to
making myself at home in Joan’s house
that the girl’s formality annoyed me,
and, to assert my old footing, I pushed
open the dining-room door, meaning to
wait there.
The room was dim, but I saw two fig-
ures very close together, which disen-
tangled themselves when they saw me,
and one gave a little shriek.
“Miss Machin!” I cried, “I beg your
pardon!” and in confusion I retired to
the hall. I had seen that the second
figure was Simmons. “Does Joan
know?” I wondered. Before I could
satisfy myself I heard the drawing-
room door slammed and a man rushed
down stairs. It was Stamford, looking
very cross. He did not see me till I
ventured to speak to him, then he
glared, muttered something, seized his
hat and left the house.
I went slowly upstairs and into the
drawing-room. Joan was standing by
the mantel-piece with her handkerchief
in her hand. She was crying, and gave
a little jump when she heard me.
“0! is it you, Jim? Why did you
come up? I can’tsee anyone.”
“I’m- no one,” said I.‘ “What’s the
matter?” ‘
“Nothing,” she said.
“Nonsense," I said, with severity.
“Come, tell me all about it, as you used
to do when your dolls were broken.” I
pushed a chair towards her and she
sank into it with a sob. .
“I’ve been such a foolf” she said. “I
can never respect myself again!” - '
“Is it as bad'as that?” said I.
“Worse. You were right when you
said match-making was dangerous. It
is, horribly!”
“Ah! you’ve-burnt your fingers ?”
“And for no purpose; B'iddy and
Ralph Simmons—”
“I know,” I said. “They are in the
drawing-room; I disturbed them. But
surely Stamford does not blame you?”
“Of course he does—” she dabbed her
eyes. “He thought—he didn’t under-
stand—he imagined—men are so vain.”
She stopped short, ,
“What did he imagine ?” I asked.
“That it was for my own sake,” she
faltered.
“Good gracious!" I cried, “and you
have just undeceived him ?”
“It was dreadful Jim. He thought I_
cared for him, as he did for me, and
when he found out it was a. mistake he
was awfully upset. He said I’d made a
fool of him and that he would leave
England and go away,” and the poor
little woman broke down.
I let her sol! a. few minutes, then I
said: “Was it a mistake ? Do you want
him to stay'in England?”
“I don’t want to drive him away,”'she
sobbed.
“That is not what I mean,” I said ;; “do
you love him after all?” '
She hesitated. “That’s a. horrid thing
to ask," she said.
“Never mind,” I said, sternly; “if you
don’t love him—"
“But I do! that’s the awful part of
it,” she cried. “I’ve only just found it-
out, and how could I tell him I did when
he took it for granted I’d been running
after him? I had to let him think it was
a mistake or despise myself all my life!”
“You’re in a. mess, Joan,” ,said I.
“Shall I tell him?” '
“Not a. word,” she cried.

“Oh,- yes,” she cried, catching them

to lose them,” I said. “Suppose you
write, and tell him they are here, and
suggest he should fetch them?”
“Jim, you’re an angel,” she cried.
