chael, who might have been inadvert-
emily addressed as "your" possible
~"highness." The greatest wonder reign
ed. Vcxation, uneasiness and perplex-
ity existed everywhere.
Standing there with her head on her
aunts shoulder, her face grave and
troubled, the princess asked:
"Why should they seek to abduct
me? Was it TO imprison or to kill me?
Oh, Aunt Yvonne, have L not been good
to my people? God knows 1 have done
all that l can! I could have done no
more. Is 1t a conspiracy to force me
from the throne? Who can be SO
cruel?"
And no one could answer. They
could simply offer words of comfort
and promises Of protection. Later In
the day gruff Dangloss marched in and
a%pologized to the Americans for his
suspicious concerning them, imploring
their assistance In running down the
chief villain. And as the hours went
by Count Halfont came in and, sitting
beside Grenfall, begged his pardon and
asked him ~toTforget the deception that
had been practiced in the United
States. He explained the necessity for
travelling i%ncognito at that time. After

Suddenly the room was n blaze of

Faith and Fact.

Faith is one thing and fact another, it
sometimes takes any amount of faith
Ito produce one fact. Years of earnest
work and faith have produced onc
fact about medicine that is deserving
of mention here. If people who are
troubled with general weakness
through overwork, dissipation or ex.
posure can get a remedy that will make
rich red blood from the food they eat,
their return to health is assured. Good
blood is the life of the body as well as
the nerves. Weak, siekly, pale people
who suffer with indigestion, dyspepsia,

bition, having dizzy spells and always
tired, can be cured sound and well with

At ? o'clock this afternoon the Will
lamette and Pacific University football
teams lined up to decide the question
Of their supremacy. Evenly matched
in weight, with the field in ideal con
dition, and genuine football weather,
by far the best game so far this season
is now in progress.
This is the one big game for Pacific
this year, and the one for which she
has been saving hersel. Her lineup has
been greatly strengthened for this
game, by the appearance of big Captain
Philbrook at his old position of full
back, and Shannon at tackle. These
men have been out OF the game all sea-
SON because of injuries received in prac-
tice before the season opened.
The Willamette lineup averages
about 164 pounds to the man, and is as
follows;
Center Nelson; right guard, Marker;
right tackle, Pollard; right end, Hinkle
left guard, James; left tackle, RAIDER;
left end, Patton; quarter, Beach; right
half, Capt. Long; left half, Mace; full
back, Lounsberry.
The Pacific lineup is: Center, G.
Philbrook; right guard, Mason; right
tackle, Dimick; right end, Spagle; left
guard, Ward; left tackle, James; left
end, Purdin; quarter back, Brown and
Sparks; right half, Shannon and Peter
