HE Means SCOTS

Your doctor says you must
take cod liver oil. Probably he
means SCOTS Emulsion because
you cannot take the clear oil; no
one can take the clear oil who
needs cod liver oil. The doctor
understands that and doubtless
means SCOTS Emulsion of cod
liver oil, which everybody can
take because it is emulsifed and
prepared SO that it can be very
easily digested by the most sensi-
tive stomach. Most everybody
likes it.

he admitted, frightening little.
Maybe I can; or rather I can put
you in the way Of doing 1t. You say
Mr.. Meigs is obstinate, and the gov
ernor is likely to prove still more OBJ
stinate. Have you thought Of any way
of softening them?"
"You know I haven't. It's a stark
impossibility from my point Of view"
Nothing is impossible; it Is always
a question Of ways and means" Then.
suddenly: Have you been paying
any attention to the development Of
the Belmount oil field?"
Enough to know that 1t is a big
thing; the biggest since the Pennsyl-
vania discoveries, according to all ac-
counts"
"And the people Of the state are en-
thusiastic about it, thinking that now
the long tyranny Of the oil monopoly
will be broken?"
THAT Is the way most OF the news
papers talk, and there seems to be
some little ground for 1t, granting the
powers Of the new law"
She laid the tips of her fingers on his
arm and knotted the thread Of sug-
gestion in a single sentence.
I'm the present state Of affairs
with the present party as yet on trial,
and the public mind ready to take
fire at the merest hint Of a foreign

She laughed softly.

David Kent: not by hearsay. but In
good, solid terms of fact that will ap-
peal to a level-headed, conservative

The Pallas engaged the Countess Of
Scarborough. and the Bonhomme
Richard and Serapis, after a few
broadsides, grappled. Late into the
night the fight went on. The Alliance
Of Jones' fleet poured broadside after
broadside into the Bonhomme Rich
ard, killing many Of her men, an oc-
currence which has never been ex-
planned. Two Of Jones' 18-pounders
exploded at the first fire, ripping her
decks to shreds.
The recoil Of the heavy guns dis
jointed the timbers of the old mer-
chantman; all but few light guns on
the spar deck were rendered useless;
the boat was afire in two places and
with half her men killed or wounded,
was beginning to sink when Jones was
called upon to surrender. Instead, he
lashed the Richard to the Scraps to
keep her anoat, and headed board
| ing party. The Serapis struck her
flag at half-past ten and Jones, board
ing her, cast Off the lashings and the
Bonhomme Richard sank with her
dead into the hollows Of the North
sea.
For this Jones received a vote of
thanks from congress and a decora-
tion and a gold sword from the king
of France. Captain Pearson Of the
Serapis, even though defeated by a
far inferior force. was knighted for
his bravery. When Jones heard Of 1t
he laughed.
IF / meet him again. he said, "Pll
make lord Of him."
It was proposed to create the rank
Of rear admiral for him, but that pro-
ject was never realized and the COM
modore had no further opportunity for
active service In the United States
navy. He accepted, in 177S, the COM
mission of rear admiral In the Russian
navy, with the understanding that he
should return to the United States
service when called. He conducted a
successful campaign against the Turks
FOR Russia, then, discouraged with
Russian intrigue, returned to Paris, In
broken health.
His friends interceded for him. and
finally sop was thrown to him in
the shape of an appointment as COM
missioner and consul to Algiers. But
even this came too late to relieve the
bitter memories Of his last hours. The
papers reached Paris on the day OF
his death.
1t has been said that IL he had COM
manded the navy Of the First Empire

cases. He said he did not think Mr..

liminary: that when a magistrate Is

feeling In this matter and said he was
doing only what he conceived to be

CHAPTER XVI.

SHARPENING THE SWORD.
In the beginning of the new cam
paign of investigation David Kent
wisely discounted the help of paid pro-
fessionai spies-or rather he deferred
1t to q later stage-by taking counsel
with Jeffrey Hildreth, night editor Of
the Argus. Here, If anywhere. practi-
cal help was to be had; and the tender
of it was cheerfully hearty and enthu-
siastic.
Most assuredly you may depend
on the Argus, horse, foot and artil-
lery," said the editor, when Kent had
-guardedly outlined some portion Of his
plan. I'VE are on your side Of the
fence. and have been ever since Bucks
was sprung as candidate on the con-
vention. But you've no case. OF
course, it's an open secret that the
Universal people are trying to break
through the fence of the new law and
establish themselves in the Belmount
field without losing their identity or
any of their monopolistic privileges.
And 1t Is equally a matter Of course
to some OF us that the Bucks ring will
sell the state out II the price is right.
But to implicate Bucks and the capitol
gang in printable shape is quite an
other matter"
81 know" Kent admitted. "But It
