This was followed by a quiet and al
most inarticulate cry. But what startled
me into sudden action was the noise thai

1 no longer hesitated. I ran to the
closed door. knocked on it, and a moment
later swung it open.
AS stepped into the room could see

white as chalk, with bluish-gray shadows
about the closed eyes. Beside her on the

1 stood staring stupidity down at the
white face, for a moment or two, before
1t came home to me that the girl had
merely fallen in faint. I got water from
the stoneware jug on the washstand, and
could see, as lifted her up on the mar
row white bed, how bloodless and ILL
nurtured her body was.
She came to very slowly. AS leaned
over her, waiting for the heavy-lidded
eyes to open, 1 let my glance wander back
to the newspaper on the floor. there
read that Harriet Walter, the young star
Of the Broken Ties Company. had met
with a serious accident 1t had occurred
while riding down Morningside Avenue
in a touring car driven by Percy Award
Adams, the son of the well-known trac-
ton magnate. The brake had apparently
refused to work on Cathedral Hill, and
the car had collided with pillar of the
elevated railway at the corner Of l09th
Street. Adams himself had escaped with
a somewhat lacerated arm, but Miss Wal
ter's injuries were more serious. She
had been taken at once to St Luke's
Hospital, a few blocks away. She had
not, however, regained consciousness,
and practically all hope Of recovery had
been abandoned by the doctors.
1 was frenziedly wondering what tie
could bind these two strangely diverse
young women together when the girl be-
side me gave signs Of returning life.
What is it," she asked, gazing about
the room. Then she looked back at me

to explain. "But it's all right; you
mustn't worry"
She did not speak. But l saw her lips
pucker into a little sob that shook her
whole body. 1t took q fight to keep up

The girl, when 1 got back, was sitting

seemed neither relieved nor disturbed by

Then she looked at me, for the first

grateful eyes. She made a move, as
though to speak. But as she did so, I

INEXPENSIVE SULPHUR BATHS

People travel long distances and
sDend large sums of money to secure
the benefits of sulphur springs and
baths because for generations sulphur
has been known to be one of natures
most valuable curatives unequalled as
a blood purifier. BY dissolving 2 to
tablespoonfuls of Hancocks Sulphur
Compound in a hot bath you get the
same effect and your system absorbs
the sulphur through the pores of the

use a teaspoonful of the Sulphur Com
pound in bowl of warm water. This
makes refreshing bath and quickly

Aoagerhead sponges as Fertilizer.


Washington. D. C.-The depart
ment OF agriculture, through it's bu-
Teau Of soils, has recently completed
analysis Of the Loggerhead sponge
which grows abundantly in the wat
ers OF southern Florida to determine
its value as a fertilizer. This sponge,
according to Mr.. Thomas E. Reedy,
of Key West, grows in countless thou
sands and to an enormous size in
shallow water where it is easy to pro-
cure. MT. Reedy also states that the
farmers OF the Florida Keys use the
Loggerhead sponge with wonderful
results and hardly ever use chemical
fertilizers. DR. H. F. Moore Of the U.
s. bureau OF fisheries, cites the use
OF this sponge by citrus fruit growers
ON the Florida mainland and states
that he has seen this sponge growing
I'm such quantities that he has long
thought IL should be exploited.

UNCLE SAM AND THE RAILWAY
Railways Claim the Government
Forces Them to Carry the Mails
at Enormous Loss.

Athens, Ca. August 22.-Under the
heading. BE Honest Even With the
Railroad" The Banner of this city
makes the following editorial COM
ment regarding the contention of the
railroads that the postoff1ce depart
ment lis nnderpaying them for hand
ling the mails: -
ITO carry the peoples mail quick
", safely and frequently is a social
obligation which the railroads freely
conceda- It is service voluntarily
performed Tor no law compe1s a rail-
road company to carry mails unless
It contracts to do SO. The courts
hold. however, that If the railroads so
contract, they must do SO on terms
named by the government.
Though surrounded by these ano-
gallons conditions, the railroads have
without stint placed their resources
at the disposal Of the Nation to de-
palop the transportation of mails to
the highest possible state of eff
cheney. This service has been paid
for at price fixed by the govern
ment. price from which the carriers
have had 10 appeal. Railroad Off
GERS have felt, ever since the present
method OF railway mail payment was
established In 1873. that this compen-
sation was unjustly low.
This opinion is still held by ex-
pertenced railroad officers throughout
tho country, but with even greater
firmness and earnestness, on account
of the Increasing costs of railroad
operation combined with frequent
heavy reductions in railway mail pay
made by the government.
The railroads maintain that ct
present they are underpaid by at least
SIS ,O00, 900 per year. 1t is their be-
lief that a fair adjustment would re
qufre that the government should pay
the railroads for all services they
render." .--... ~-.-

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant, not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for it's food
AS it floats underneath the surface OF
the water it's leafy branches spread
out in all directions. It's leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it. A small worm
or a small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

Rumors of 20 Million Dollar Loan

Paris.-No confirmation can be OBJ
tanned here of the report from Next
co City that bankers Of Paris and
other European capitals have made
an offer to President Huerta to float
a new loan OF $2O.oOO.OOO. On the
contrary the report is not believed by
the Banque de Paris Eft Pays Bias,
which took a leading part in the pre-
vious loan to the Mexican govern
ment- The story is also discredited
by the banking house of Lazard
Fferes- The French foreign Office, it
appears, continues to take the attitude
that it would be unWise for French
bankers to lend money to the Mexi-
can government until the United
States government has recognized the
HueTta administration.
