Evil days fell upon him. and he
seemed to lose his gIiP on life.
Things went from bad to worse.

the fight. One dark night he
passed into the valley of the

were too great for her to over
come, and sick and helpless she
gsoped for relief. II was then
that she wrote the Exalted Ruler:
"The doctor tells me I must get
into hospital where can have

money nor influence. Many times
have I heard my father say. Lit

girl appeals to the Elks

good chap and one or two
other stalwart brothers, the '.little

to her, "ln case Of an emergency,

Then they asked her, "Who is
your best friend?" Her face
Frightened for a moment as she
smiled and said:
"If anything goes wrong. send

the Identification card just as she
had spoken.
