Sudden Delivery of Theology Made
Horse Stop and Think.

N~Nt 49,
What was possibly the most con-
yincing sermon in the world was new
er preached; 1t was devoted to an
other use. Archbishop TAFT was driv-
ing along country road porting over
the manuscript of his sermon as he
rode, His attention was attracted by
a roar and clatter behind and turn
ing round he saw horse attached to
a huge lorrie careering down hill
at gallop. The animal was beyond
the control of its driver and was
making straight for the back of the
dogcart in which the archbishop was
riding The runaway drew rapidly
nearer, but TAFT waited calmly. and,
as it Numbered up to the light trap,
he selected the psychological moment.
Then with all his force he flung the
many-ieaved sermon full in its face.
The runaway stopped short to think it
over and as he did SO his driver got
him in hand again and the situation
was saved THE poor beast had never
had such q 'blatter' of theology be-

He has been looking through his

That is what gives him fit of the

More than likely you speak the same
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in
depression of spirits, reluctance to go
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, flatulency, nerv-
business, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea.
These symptoms are but warnings
that there is danger ahead, and unless
needed life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result
The never-failing remedy for all these
symptoms is Lydia e. PinlSham's Veg
etable Compound.
Miss Kate Mcdonald, of Woodbridge,
N j., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:

CHAPTER DISCONTINUED.
At nightfall they have left the other
astern, and the feet greyhound seems
to rush over the green waters like
hungry hound in pursuit of hare.
Now they near the American coast
Thus far the steamer has kept up to
Jacks expectations, and he feels al
most positive of landing before the
others.
rs luck will have it, they run into
heavy fog and it becomes necessary
to slow down. This promises to bring
delay that will add hours to what
seemed to presage a record-breaking
passage.
Whites are heard-one hoarse one
ahead, where some steamer is plow
ing through the dense fog. AS soon
as Travers learns this vessel is going
in the same way as themselves he
smiles, confident that It is the one he
chases.
At length about noon the fog rises
and discloses the beach of Far Rock

fastened upon the steamer just ahead,
and which they promise to pass about

1t is the Anchoria.
The Glasgow steamer might have
reached port first only for laundering
in the fog.
When they pass her black hull
cheers are given from lusty throats,
and returned with equal vim. Jack
scans the passengers along her side,
and his heart gives a sudden bound

The sensation is one not easily for

Near her hovers Senior Roblado and

The latter talks with some gentle
man-Jack cannot see him well at
first, but when he moves the light
strikes his face, and Travers grinds
his teeth in sudden rage.
1t is Howard Spencer. as dashing as
ever, despite his smash-up in Edin-
burgh.
Why does he follow them? Is It be-
cause he is a moth fluttering round

bad trim.
So Jack finds ample time after pass

other reach the Anchor line pier just
as the Anchoria is pushed into hel
berth by the noisy little tugs.
He screens himself from observation
and thus watches the descent of the
passengers as they fall into the hands
of the inspectors.
Jack is careful not to show himself;

Mrs Myrtle Green, a divorced woman

Death for moment last night. but failed
to get on speaking terms with the grim
destroyer. Rat poison was the agent en-
ployed. Dependency is ascribed as the
cause Owing to the prompt action Of
Mrs. Z. c. Belmont, with whom Mrs.
Green was living, the latter's life was
saved, but not until after a desperate
fight between the woman who would take
her own life and Mrs. Belmont.
The Belmonts were at supper when Mrs.
Green, a frail woman. bent with care,
appeared on the threshold Of the dining
room door. holding in her hand d spoon
ful Of rat poison. Placing it near her
lips, she said: "Good-by. Annie This
life is too hard for me- Look out for
little Oracle. God protect her" Hardly
had she done speaking, when Mrs. Bel
mont reached her side with bound. Mrs.
Green made desperate attempt to swal-
low the poison. In the fight a quantity
Of the powder slipped on the floor.
Wrenching her hand free, the frantic
woman tossed off the remaining part of
the powder and sank to the floor in a
swoon.
At the Central Emergency Hospital DR..

was able TO think nationally in COM

the kind words and goodly advice of DR..
Hill, went home with a promise never to
repeat the act, but to live for her little
girl who is yet in her infancy.

stating that local rates across the

Rates from New York to Panama
