Would you ask me to marry you when
you knew l loved another man."
An almost inarticulate sound es-
capped his lips. He also rose from his
seat. l heard him move toward the
portieres, and | withdrew rapidly to
the waiting room.

Yes. Il private one, but l can wait"
The doctor walked out of the parlor
and gave me close. scrutinizing
glance. but was absorbed in studying
the ceiling and did not meet his eyes.
He passed toward the front door and
bid his hostess good day. Then l
walked into the library to take his

mo, but you implied as much. But
will not test your faith in me any
more. will give you assurances that

She waited for me to proceed while
flush overspread her face.
"You know Mr.. Jaimson?" I asked.
"Yes, very WELL"
"He is friend of yours, and I be-
heve you would trust yourself with
him after dark"
She nodded afarmatively.
"Well, Mr.. Jaimson is in my secret,
and he will accompany us. Under
those circumstances will you go with
me next Tuesday EVENING""
"Why, of course. 1t must be all
right If Ms. Jaimson approves Of it."
"He does. He will call here before
l do on that evening, and the three OF
US will go together"
'But where do we go?" she asked
inquisitively.
''I cannot tell you now. You will
know that night"
"How mysterious you seem! 1 dc
not understand it at ALL
You will in time. But one other re.
quest. Will you promise to keep this
matter absolutely secret? Do not even
tell Mr.. Goddard or DR.. Squires. If
you do, everything will be spoiled
and, mark my word. you will repent
OF, it Ii you do.''
II will promise" she answered.
"And keep your promise better than
you did the other one" l could not re-
frain from saying, for her lack OF
trust in me had piqued me little.
She colored and at first would have
resented my bold words. but an after
thought checked her.
Eyes, viii redeem my promise this
time without question"
"Thank you. Then on Tuesday at a
quarter to 8 Mr.. Jaimson will call for
you, and you will be ready to accom-
pany him. will call for both Of you
at 8 o'clock. will guarantee that you
will return 10 your home without hurt
or injury"
hastily withdrew then. She ac-
companied me to the door. She was
watching me peculiarly, trying to de
eide, imagine, whether l was a
crank or sane man and whether she
had made mistake or not in promis-
ing to accompany me.

Accident in History of Edgar Thorn.
son Steel Plant.
Pittsburg, April k-An accident at
the Edgar Thomson plant of the Car.
negie Steel company, at Braddock, is
expected to prove one of the worst in
the history of the plant in the number
of deaths resulting. Twenty men were
injured, six of whom are dead and ten
are in the hospital and are not ex-
pected to recover. The other injured
went to their homes and are suffering
from painful burns.
The dead: John Smith, John Bolou,
Andrew Brabae. Joseph Pelar, John
Skotak, John Pelar.
The accident was caused by a
hang" in &e furnace dropping and
forcing large quantities of white-hot
dust down a large pipe into pit
where the men were at work. The
victims were without means of escape
and all were burned and blistered
over their entire bodies. Large strips
of flesh peeled off of their bodies
when they were pulled out of the pit
by fellowworkmen, attracted by the
cries Of agony of the victims as they
writhed in the lava-like stuff from
which they were vainly trying to ex.
tricate themselves. Seven of the men
were completely nude when their bod.
les reached the emergency hospital,
and others had but few shreds of
clothing upon them. The bodies of
the fatally burned were blackened or
shredded in strips by the whita-hot
"down-comer" dust that burned into
their flesh. Many of the men had
large blotches burned through the
flesh, caused by large splashes Of
molten iron that had struck them and
burned through to the bone.

KILLED BY SAW MILL.
Frank Marks a Young Man Living
South of pleasanton, Almost
Instantly Killed.

A most distressing and fatal accident
occurred at the Marks saw mill on
Jerry Adkins farm some four miles
northeast of this city late Wednesday
eveing.
While they were saving, Frank
Marks, the sawyer, stopped over and
put his left hand to the saw presumably
to see if it was hot, when in some man
ner the saw caught his arm and he was
dragged forward into the saw and the
left shoulder and part Of the collar
bone was cut off only a little skin on
the back Of the shoulder holding it..
The subclavian artery was severed.
Though so terribly injured, he walked
to tent near by which the men We're
using assisted by his father.
Drs. Logan and Ewing were hastily
summoned and did all that could be
done for the sufferer, but they realized
that the case was hopeless and the vic
tim passed away at 9:15 last night.
His father, Mr.. Nathan Marks, seeing
that the artery was cut, did a nervy and
heroic act by putting his thumbs on the
severed end of the artery and holding
it until the arrival of the physicians,
otherwise the patient would have bleed
to death in short time.
The deceased was a young man, was
about 10 years old and unmarried, and
enjoyed the fullest confidence and re-
spect of his acquaintances. 1t is a
most deplorable accident and the be-
reaved family have the fullest sympa-
thy of all.

Liquozone is employed in the largest
hospitals, and prescribed by the best
physicians, the world over. It is essen
tial in any germ disease, for the cause
must be destroyed, and nothing else can
do it. Liquozone then acts as tonic to
bring back condition of perfect health;
for oxygen is Natures greatest tonic. Its
effects are exhilarating, purifying, vitaliz-
ing. It does something that all the skill
in the world cannot do without it.

Liquid Oxygen,

drugs, no alcohol in it. 1t is the dis
covery of PAUL., the great German chem
ist who spent 20 years on it. His object
was to get such an excess of oxygen i'll
staple form into the blood that no germ
could live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. We spend IA
days in making each bottle of it, but the
result is germicide so certain that we
publish on every bottle an offer of s., 900
for disease germ that it cannot kill.

These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these troubles
is to help Nature overcome the germs,
and such results are indirect and I'M
certain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are in
evitable. By destroying the cause of the
trouble, it invariably ends the disease,
