CHAPTER TX.


His first translatable impulse was to
turn and make good his escape before
she became aware of him. But, as II
the shock OF recognition had palsied
his will. he remained moveless. Con-
tending emotions, resembling the
flashes Of heat and cold of an ague-
fit, alternately COMPOUNDED and stung
him to the point Of madness. For the
first time in days he had forced home
to him all that he had sought to ban
ish from his life; his memories. OF
his gnawing passion for the woman,
of the black crime that had severed
their lives. Seeing before him the
one being in the world dear to him
beyond expression. the one being ir-
%revocably lost to him, he OWNED
anew with bitter clarity the bridge
less gulf that yawned between them.
It was inevitable that the woman
should in time become sensitive to his
proximity. Though wholly unaware
of his approach, though thoroughly as
sured that she was alone, a feeling of
uneasiness affected her. She resisted
it subconsciously and strove to con.
tinue the line of thought which had
engaged her; but without effect. Then

Encouraged, Coast climbed the

farmhouse, coming inevitably first to
it's main entrance, the kitchen door;
which stood Hospitality wide, reveal
ing an interior untenanted but warm

Coast did no enter, but moved
round toward the front of the house,
his footsteps noiseless on the sod.

he had run against an invisible bar

Coast wac conscious of a tightening
in his throat producing a feeling OF
suffccation, of a %throbbing in his tenn

drum. In a trice he had forgotten
everything that had passed up to that
moment; even the haunting thought
of the murdered man dropped out of
his consciousness; he was unable to
entertain the faintest shadow of a
thought that did not center about this
woman, not a line Of whose gracious

FURTHER PROOF
THAT CANNON is COMING

Mr.. John Mitchell, living at 30I
Formwalt street and employed on the
police force, suffered from various
complaints for about six years. In
the mornings he felt tired and sore
His stomach would bloat, he was sub
ject to belchings, and headaches were
a frequent occurrence His tongue
was continually coated and his breath
was foul. He would have dizzy sem
sations at times, and his feet and
hands were cold. He was growing
more nervous and weakened each day.
Really, his condition was becoming
deplorable, and he spared no expense
in his efforts to find a cure.
Finally the great Cannon came to
Atlanta. Mr.Mitchell had talk with

CAME NEAR BEING A BILLION
DOLLAR TRUST,

| 1t apears from the evidence now
going on in the Beef Trust suit in
Chicago that the country narrowly es-
capped a much larger trust and one
which would have done infinitely more
harm In 1903 it was proposed to form
Half Billion Dollar Trust, largely
water, to control all of the meat pro-
ducing plants in the country, and
eventually there was to be an issue OF
$S00,000,000 in various securities on
tangible assets of considerably less
than $300,000,O00.
1T so happened that the market was
not digesting securities very we'll al
the time and loan of $90,00000O to
get cash to float the enterprise failed.
Otherwise it appears that the combi-
nation would have been formed In
that case perhaps the government
would have had a little bit easier time
of it in the way of prosecution, for the
combination would have been the
most complete in our history. 1t is of
collateral interest that the syndicate
which was to raise this money was to
receive a commission of $4,000 900, or
more than eleven per cent.
1t may be said of this plan which
failed arose out of former ATTEMPT
which also failed, to put the packers
or a billion dollar basis. Apparently
the packers hold that they are not

efforts to make bigger trust This =
queer logic and does not take cogniz-
ance of the existing facts. The govern
ment suit is being pressed with vigor
and much to the concern of the defend
ants 1t was assumed by the gentle
men involved that they would be able
to postpone their trial and to litigate
to the millennium. The Supreme
Court blocked their efforts, and the de-
PENDANTS were forced to trial much
against their desire. Their unwilling
ness does not comport we'll with their
previous and vociferous insistence
that they were wholly innocent. Now
they seem to be trying to show that
they are not as bad as they might have
benin fact not as bad as they wish
ed to be. but failed from no fault of
their own.

been the whole cause of all the mans
sufferings, and Quaker Extract had

ing that cause.
This tapeworm, together with many
other specimens is on exhibition at

Health Teacher will answer all ques-
lions pertaining to them cheerfully.
If you suffer with catarrh, rheuma-
tism, stomach, liver, kidney or blood
troubles, or you or your children have
worms of any kind, call on Cannon at
once, as he is sincere in his desire to
aid suffering humanity.
Cannon will be at the Eldridge Drug

to p. M, beginning Saturday morn

He always wants to prove all he
says.

1t is now a certainty Cannon, the
Quaker Health Teacher, will really be
here. A wire was received by the
Eldridge Drug Co. last night which
reads:
will arrive in Americas Friday ev-
ening and remain for some time.
(Signed) CANNON"
At first thought these words seem
rather insignificant, but when the
public fully realizes that Cannon the
man about whom so much has been
said and written, is coming to Amer
icus. the message shows its real T.
portance. He claims he is going to
prove here, the same as at other cit
les visited by him, that the now justly
famous Quaker Remedies will cure
where all other medicines have failed.
A remarkable case is reported from
Atlanta which give people an idea of
the kind of curative work the Quaker
Extract and Oil of Balm Will do.

FIVE GREATEST EVENTS OF 1911

typhoid fever as shown by the fact
that in the mobilization of $4,000
troops in Texas for three months thre

8. The negotiations of general arbi-

France.
The President regards the mere
negotiations of these treaties as Of
very great Importance, whether they
are finally ratified or not. The fact
that it was possible to conclude such
treaties with two of the great Euro

ment of great value.
