PINE 6TR£ET, LIMAp OHIO Lima, Ohio.--"I want to tell yc ]how yea' medicine has helped m, For weeks I suffered with awful pair Srom inflammation and I was in sue Inisery that I had to bend double to get relief. I c:uld not be touched or :jarred, had a ful pain all over my abdomen and could not touch my feet to the floor. It was impossible for zne to straighten up and the pains never ceased. I took treatments for i ome time and finally was told I would have to have an operation. I do not ]believe in operations, and I had read ao much about Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound that I told m husband I would try it before I gave up. I soon began to feel that it wan doing me good. The awful misery began to leave me, also the backache. I have a good appetite and am gain° ing in weigilL Taking the medicine was the best thing I ever did. I feel like it haa avcd my lifo and I do not hesitate to say so :o my friends.

Mrs. Beard's Lette:: Eddy, Texas.--"I will write you a few words, thinking it will do some one else good. Two doctors said I would have to be operated on because for nearly twelve months I suffered from a weakness from which I could get no relief. I was restless and nervous and was not able to walk across the house. They said it was the Change of Life. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable CompOund ad- vertised in the newspapers, and as I could not get any help from doctors I thought I would give that a trial. I began with tim liquid and it helped me some, then you advised me to take the tablet form and I began to improve rapidly. I have gained in weight from 105 to 170 pounds. I recommend it; to all women with this troublo."-- Mrs. M. E. BEARD, R. No. I, Box 143, Eddy, Texas. Test. "I'll go throagh everything for you, dr: .... How much lmve you got to go .{lirough ?"

C1 I.A l "r E1¢ XI V TIIE RED A1,LI,'S O17 ])EROUX As lhc red year of 1867 tleclincd mid the road hrllst into the heart of the buffalo range, the two greatest a]ld most powerful ]ntlian nations of the nortllcrn plains, lhe Chcyennt,s an,l the lortlly Sioux, rose in a last effort to halt the march of eml)ire. Red Chmd, war ehicf of th Sioux, sent his ullimatunt: "We do lmt wallt yotl ]]ere. Yo are scaring away the buffa- lo." Poreul,ilm, 'head ehief of the Cheyennes, sent a similar mes- sagc, mort threatening, mort in- solent. The only answer was (he shriek of the iron ]lorse. Then the storm broke. All along 1he grcat trails white men t'ought for their lives against wave after wave of Iudian attack. Along the Plattc River the military rode or marched from Forts Kcarney, MePhcrson and Scdg- wick, and struc'k hcavy blows westward at Laramie and Fort Douglas at Salt Lake City. Upon the tflains the friendly Pawnees roved under their white chief, Major Frank J. North, fighting with reckless bravery against their hereditary foes, the Sioux and the Cheyenncs. The advance of the Union Pac- ific was an armed march. The surveyors were the scouts. Be- llind came the sappera, the grade ntakers, shoveling and leveling and slceping by night in thcir "l)rairc monitt)rs," hovels dug from the earth and roofed with sod. Then eamc the forts ell wheels, work trains and freigllt trains, the box ears double- walled and lined with sand bags for exlra protection. The men were well supplied with rifles an,I muskets. Wlierever tlte gangs lolls(1 tlmir Springfields, Sl)eneers, Rentingtons or Vin- etlesters were stacked near by. Engineers and firemen kept guns iu easy reach. Trainmcn worked wilh revolvcrs swinging at tlteir belts. Upon the surveyors fell the first fury of the Indian assault. Then the emboldened war parties struck eastward. Gangs of grad- ers were attacked almost daily, butchered or driven back to the main body. Track-layers, tie-men and station hands slept under guard, going to work every day with pick or shovel in one hand and rifle in the other. The army helped so far as was possible, but there were now nearly five hun- dred nfiles to guard, nearly a thousa.d, nfiles of reconnaissance The picket line inside which the road was building with unfaltcr. ing progrcss stretchcd lhin. Gen- eral Crook kept calling for more trool)s. "lt's hard to surround three Indians with one soldicr," lie wired. But the road never halted. The fighting lrish who were the back- bone of the grcat advance showc, d lhe sluff they wcre made of, and the order that wcnt out lo M1 workcrs, "never to run when attacked," suited the m th)wn to the ground. End of tra(,k was the favorite attacking point of the war parties. Fre- qnently with tutoring which de- fied the bcst scouting, they struck without warning, sweep- ing around the cluster of defend- ers in a swift-revolving ring, showering arrows and bullets. In August end of track stead- ily climbing, was at Lodge Pole, reaching into the hies, heading for ])avy's pass. Work was press:'d furiously, and the gangs werc driven hard. Back in Jules- burg five lmndred men had re- fttsed to work, sullen over a shortagc of beef and unmoved by Casement's promise that a great herd was on its way, likely to ar- rive any day. Shorthanded, the gang bosses pressed the loyal men harder than ever and the ril. xvi forwerd wilh barely eonquest. ]handon was in the thiek of it. Casement had made him a lie boss, wilh tifty men under him. lle ran his m'ew in s'ght ofh!s friend: Cas,y and S!altery, and frequently had opportlmity to pass lhe D.'Ol'd with these devoted admirers. Pat never tired of telling the story of the fight at lhlller's, ant1 1)avy had become somelhing of a ceicbriy mnong the nlen at end of track. ])tit the yOll/l!. ' llllll was very llnhappy.

Ills lleart was sorc. lie wanted to t(,ll Miriam, would tlave tohl her, t]lat he }lad delermined to kee I ) away from Jesson even i[ it meant leaving Julesburg and abandoning his hol)e of working for file raih'oad; lhat he hail been tleeoyetl to IIaller's by a ly- ing message, antl t}mt he hail been forced to fight ft)r the hon- or of his manhood. Bitt she had refuscd to sce him. IIc recalled her face as shc stood in the tent after the fight, sadly looking at him. IIe groaned when he thoug]t of the picture he must have prcsented--blootl stream- ing t'rom the cut over his eye, shirt half tern from his back, face grilny where the blood had- n't discolored it. "It was enough to shoek any girl," he thought. "1 must ]lave looked like a crazy ntan to her. But danm it all!" lie walked forward to the spikers to see how the rails were going ahcad, to get a notion of how ninny ties wouhl be needed for lhe rest of ttle day. Casey hailed him with tteligllt. " 'Tis the byc,"he called to Sehultz. "Surc an' it is lhc con- querin' hero. 'Tis the Irish ill him that ,:arrics him to victory, me Toolonic frind. Ye }lave my backin', Davy, fer champeen of the U.
