A long expected French lugger was
seen making for the roadstead, and the
Lowestoft free traders were on the
alert, anxiously seeking an opportu-
nifty for communicating with her crew.
While they waited for a lapse Of vigi-
lance on the part Of the excisemen, a.
boat was lowered from the lugger and
rowed toward the shore. A curious
crowd of beach men and excisemen
assembled to meet her, and as she
came in on the crest of a roller it was
observed that she contained a coffin.
The French boatmen had a mournful
tale to tell. On board the lugger had
been an Englishman suffering from an
illness which loon proved fatal. In his
last moments Of consciousness he had
begged the captain not to bury him at
sea, but to keep his body until a rest
ing place could be found for it under
the green turf of a churchyard in his
native land. Sympathy with his sad
fate and the knowledge that the lugger
was not far from the English coast
had induced the captain. to consent,
and now he had sent the body ashore
for burial. In spite Of his broken Eng
lish, the Frenchmen's spokesman told
his tale we'll Eanss,'
Both excisemen and beach men

the root of all evils. Mr.: Case left
Dawson, where he had been located

boat made the trip in less than six
days and he is here by virtue of an

WIND AND GAS
CURED WITH CASCARINE

If you have wind or gas or a
bloating of the stomach, why not
cures Some of these days you
will ruin your health by causing
these diseases to linger. That bad
taste in your mouth and coated
tongue mean that you need a tonic
laxative for your system; that your
stomach is out of order. You should
not go on from day to day allowing
this state of affairs to continue, for
if you do, it will not be long before
YOU will be a sick man or woman.
The time to prevent the sickness is
now, not tomorrow. Go at once to
your druggist and buy Carcarine.
Follow the directions on the bottle
and in two days you will feel like
yourself again. Most people heed
this advice. Others do not, but take
cheap pills and tablets which only
ruin their stomachs and keep them
in bad health. Cascarine is made
from roots, herbs, banks, plants and
berries and will not injure the most
delicate stomach..I is just the reedy
that every other should have on her
medicine shelf, for it will not grippe
anyone not even the most delicate
child. AS it is very inexpensive, we
advise you to buy bottle at once,
for if it is not satisfactory we will
be only too pleased to refund your
money. At your druggist, so cents
