causes would have held back that

AS Roscoe fed along the beach on

through the fog, there was no doubt
IN his mind that he hao seen the ghost

When he found that his boat had
gone adrift and that his only means
of getting back to the Aurora had
gone with it. he dropped down upon

great rock and had spent the night
there, HIS mind completely torpid with
fear
When the numbness of this terror
passed away. as gradually II did. he
bent all this thoughts upon the Aurora
and upon the possibility. not quite in
conceivable. that his crew had sue
ceeded in overpowering her people
and were now in possession of the
yacht. He tried to persuade himself
that this was so and that with the
coming of the dawn they would send

Son of Deputy County Auditor Falls

Yards and sustains
injuries.
VICTIM OF HARD LUCK
Has Had Many Accidents in the Past
Few Years-Taken to ST. Jo-
seph's Hospital for
Treatment.
VICTIM OF HARD LUCK

Louis Vermillion, son of G. N. Yer
million. deputy county auditor, seems
to be the victim of most relentless
fate. In the past few years he has
been injured in various ways many
times and this morning was badly hurt
in the Burlington yards in this city.
Vermillion who is employed as a
switchman by the c., B. & c., was
working as usual today when he slep-
ped from the running board of the en-
CINE and fell across the track. When
help reached him he was unconscious
and seemingly badly injured. DR..
Kinnaman, the company physician,
was hurriedly called and after
an examination had the man re
moved to st. Joseph hospital. At the
Burlington Offices it was said that Yer.
million was not badly hurt SO far as
| it was possible to tell from a hasty
examination although it was evident
that he was suffering greatly from
shock He was unconscious for some
time and it was thought at first thai
he was fatally injured.
AT noon today Vermillion was re
ported resting very easily at the hos
pital and DIR. Kinnaman expressed al
opinion that he was not seriousl,
hurt. No indications Of internal in
juries are apparent.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.


You can save money by spending it
right, as well as by laying it aside
For instance there are many people
who do not buy the right medicine for
their ailments, and pay out many dol
lars before they learn just what to do.
Mrs. Alex. Dumas, of Malone, N.
Y, knows this now. She says "a.
very heavy cold settled on my lungs
last winter and for three months I
lcoughed almost constantly. At night
II could hardly get my sleep. I tried
several medicines but none of them
did me any good. Then I thought |
would use Vinol and 1t began to heir

sleep well and have gained much
strength. all because I took your
