That was the quaint stiff melody OF
fifty years before, that Jessica Floyd
sung to Stanton before they parted.
On reaching home, an hour later,
Stanton found a letter awaiting him
from the assistant manager, Green. 1t
was dated from Long Island, and re-
minded him that the course would be
open for the last days practice next
morning during the early hours.
THE car Is at last ready, and II
you see Jes Floyd, tell him that we
can not get along without him any
longer" ran the concluding sentence.
Stanton put down the letter, frown-
ing at 1t in irritated establishment.
Had not Floyd gone to prepare for the
race, with Green and by his direct or.
der? How then could he, Stanton,
know anything about his mechanician
and why did not Green know every.
thing? Possibly Floyd had been kept
at the Mercury factory; but In that
case Green would surely have sent
there for him, instead of trusting to
the faint chance Of Stanton's encoun,
tering him. OF course Floyd must be
ready to go out for the delayed prac,
tice work next morning-Stanton rose
impatiently; of course he would be
ready.
A thought like a needleprick halted
him when halfway across the room q
wild fancy. Could it be conceived
credible that Valerie Carlisle did wish
to prevent the Mercury car from rae.
ing, and. failing to reach the driver
might attempt to keep away the mech.
anician she knew to be so valuable?
He recalled his own strange illness on
the eve of the Massachusetts race
On an impulse beyond restrain, he
turned to his telephone; there would
be some one to tell him of Floyd al
the factory, for 1t was working night
and day to fill its orders.
Yes, 337 Frenchwood." the thir
voice finally came along the wire
Eyes, Mercury. Mr.. Stanton? Wait.
The instrument reared vilely; he
knew it was the din of the huge en-
gines he heard across thirty miles OF
distance.
Hello" another voice took up
through the drone. Stanton? This
is Mr.. Bailey. What? Oh, why Floyd's
gone on" there was blank clickine
to Long Island tonight" was faint
ly resumed He'll be on his job wher
yoj need him. Stanton; go bit easy
on the poor kid He isn't machine. ;
Stanton exclaimed something ugly
and hung up the receiver with a snap
Bailey was a fool, he mentally sneered
and Green was another, and he him

TO SUCCEED MRS. LONGSTREET.
Announced that Mrs. H. W. j. Hamm
Has Been Made POstmiStresS.

Washington, May Mrs. Helen
Longstreet, widow of the famous
Confederate general, today lost her
fight for reappointment as postmls-
tress of Gainesville, Ga. Mrs. H. w.
J. Hamm was nominated to the office
after President Wilson had consulted
the Georgia Senators.
1t was learned that Postmaster
General Burleson's reports of the
condition of the postofice over which
Mrs Longstreet presided alleged that
the Office was poorly managed.
Much interest had been manifested
in the appointment, and Mrs. Long

House with kilograms and petitions
in her behalf. An appeal setting out
her fears that influences were work
ing against her appointment or her
confirmation was sent to the Senate

ACTS ON THE LIVER.
DOdsOn'S Liver Tone Livens Tn the
Lyer-IS More Than
Mere Laxative.

Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimulate
the liver. But calomel is often dan
gerous, and people are not to be
blamed for being afraid of it.
Within the last few years many
medicines have been put out to be
used instead of calomel, but their eff
feet is on the bowels-not on the
liver. Peoples Drug Store says that
the only real liver medicine to actu-
ally take the place of calomel is Dod-
sons Liver Tone, a mild, harmless,
vegetable liquid that Peoples Drug
Store recommended to take the place
of calomel and which gives prompt
relief in cases of constipation, bilious
ness and sluggish liver
So confident are Peoples Drug Store
that they give their personal guaran-
tee with every 50-cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone You can be sure
that you are getting Dodson's by ask
ing at this store if they are giving
you the medicine they personally

Sensational Charge.

Sumter, May S.-Rev. Harley of the
South Carolina Anti-Saloon league
said last night in speech that the

every dry county in the South. They
pay poll tax for and register negroes
to enable the trust to purchase negro
votes against prohibition. Also regis
tering ignorant foreigners for the
same purpose.
He said that the trust has paid
attorney in every county seat in the
Southern dry counties, getting S25 to
$50 day to draw up and have circu-
lated petitions for dispensary elec-
tions and look after whiskey ring in
terests. White supremacy is threat
ened by negro political balance of

4 GOOD RATTLESNAKE TALE.
New Yorker Awakes to Find Reptile
On His Chest.

Charles Carrere, business man OF
New York city, is at the st. Mark,
recovering from a narrowing expert
ence he underwent in Redwood can
Won when he awOke shortly after
midnight to find a large rattlesnake
coiled on his breast ready to spring.
Carrere, with John Connors, of Van
couver, B. c., was driving to Oakland
through the canyon when their auto
mobile broke down in an isolated
part of the road and they decided to
camp out for the night. Connors
STAYED in the tonneau of the car, but
Carrere, rolling himself in blanket,
laid down on the ground to sleep.
In telling of his experience today,
Carrere said he did not dare, in the
dark. to make a move to draw his
revolver, for at the slightest motion
of his body the reptile would hiss an
erily. With the coming of daylight
the snake seemed to doze. With a
quick movement Carrere says he drew
his weapon and shot off the head of
the rattlesnake before it could strike.
