They sat on the forward deck OF

MISUNDERSTANDING man of the

fluffy golden hair, deep blue eyes and
pearl and-ruby combination of teeth
and lips. The deck about them was

away, smoking absently and gazing
thoughtfully out across the water.
The man was watching her with his
heart in his eyes. Presently he spoke.
"Millic," he said, wistfully, ARE you
going to keep me waiting much long

The eyes she turned upon him were
filed with compassion.
Il know you have been good and
kind and patient with me. Ned" she
said. But cannot say what you
would like-just yet"

desire, and could make you as hap

happiness? think you owe me that

write, when he must have known
what l suffered. Then l learned,
quite by accident, that his father,
heartbroken and lacking courage to
face the world a beggar, had taken
his own life, and l understood. He
was too proud too sensitive to seek

himself from the disgrace of his
fathers ignominious death. l learned,
too, that he had gone West to win his
fortune in the gold fields. There was
little else for him to do. His fathers
death had left him dependent upon

air was so dry and clear-and hear
the barking of faithful watchdogs in
dooryards near and far. Bright lights
started into twinkling life on either
shore. The incense from fields OF
growing grain floated to them across
the water. The chug. chug OF the

TRUE TO HIS INSTINCT.
St. Bernard Dog sprang Into Manhole
to Rescue Child.

to Rescue Child.
Ralph Johnson, son of New
Orleans street pedler, had the honor
of being saved by st. Bernard dog
to whom he was an utter stranger.
The story is told by the Bay City
Times.
At Valence street and st. Charles
avenue sewerage is being construct
ed. When the workmen quit the well
for the day the manhole was left
open. Mrs. Johnson, with her boy.
3 years old and wearing dress,
were in the vicinity, the mother try
ing to sell laces.
While the mother had gone to q
house in the block the child remained
on the sidewalk for while. and then
walked to the manhole and peered
into it. Accidentally he fell in. The
child screamed loudly for help. bur
being about six feet under the ground,
no one heard the cries.
Just at this time an old mllkma.s
passed. With him was a great ST.
Bernard dog. The dog heard thu
cries of the child, and for second
could not locate them. The child
cried again, and this time the dog
plunged into the we'll and seized the
chiId's clothing in it's mouth.
The dog held the little boy above
the water until both dog and child
we're hoisted out Of the manhole by
passersby. The dog then trotted
along after the old milkman as though
saving a child's life were an every
day occurrence

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUM ATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN Few WEEKS.
The Remedy Used; by Mr.. SchroeppeF and
by Captain I.alfour in Great Demand in
Vicinity of Their Homes,

The Remedy Used by Mr.. schroeppeF and
by Captain I.alfour in Great Demand in
vicinity. of Their Homes,
In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a severe at
tack of rheumatism. Hisdoctor's treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After FIVE OF, six weeks Of helpless
ness and pain" said he, during which
I was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, I felt rs bad as ever. Just then
my mother a. woman eighty years OF
age, paid me q visit. She had received
great benefit from DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me- At her solicitation gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pills
III its place. ,"
"And were. you cured as the result of
taking her advice?'
Yes, quickly and thoroughly Be
fore the second box was finished 1 felt
very manifes6 Improvement, and within
two weeks Twas able to leave my bed and
take up myneglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every YES
, tise of the disease had been eradicated.
''Are there NO traces left?'
"Absolut'ely none. For n year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result aud my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Witlin the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schrocppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted n great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results in Mr.. S case,
decided to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for all attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
tree from the painful ailment.''
1t is little wonder that DR.. Williams

\ and are equally successful in curing

He regarded her compassionately
for moment, then walked away with

and laid his hand tenderly upon her
bowed head.
