The beautiful Dolores with eyes that could weep no more sat in a corner of her father's house, clad in her bride ruiment, which she had faithfully doned at the appointed time on the wedding morning and waited through the long, despairing days for Latham to return.

DREADFUL ECZEMA

Cared by Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. That torturing and disfiguring disease has its cause in an impure condition of the blood. The impure condition of the blood often arises from a diseased condition of the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. When digestion is imperfect the nutrition of the body is inadequate to its needs.. The blood becomes thin, poisons accumulate in it, and these poisons often manifest themselves in some eruptive disease. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cure diseases. of the stomach, and other organs of digestion and nutrition. They eliminate poisonous substances from the blood, purifying it, and increasing its quality and richness. They get at the cause and cure perfectly diseases of the blood, and other complaints which originate in a disordered stomach.
They are a perfect Blood Purißer and a postive and poeminent care for Biliconresa. Laiigestion, Constipation, Hend aches. Sallow Complexion. Liver and Kelmy Tenuala: Dites. Binaplen Bads, sail Blotches, and for peak Ailments....

The burning summer heat in these latitudes demands that interment be switc. It was in the early afternoon when the funeral procession camo winding slowly alour the slant of the hill on its way to the burial ground. This way led past the mine and through the village. First came four rod-frocked altar boys, two with light ed tapers, two with smoking consors, then the two padres, Father Vespasian, and a brother priest, in their sacerdotal robes; these followed by six white-clad girls with flowers, and then the bier borne by four of the villagers. Behind them Mateo came, and behind him the mourners, men and women and little children. Dolores had been much beloved by all, and the oremeer ship in the wine to which Mutes had risen made his social position of some importance-for so. cial positions exined even here.
