STUFF Of Dreams.

When his spirit for it was dying.
Marks campaign Of conquest came to
its grand climax-he became a stock
holder in the Quinby Steel company,
n OF the young partners of whom
Quinby, In all things abreast of his
great rival, was won to speak with
such paternal enthusiasm. Up to this
time he had been merely an employee,
handsomely paid but finding his chief
reward from Henley's profitable
friendship.
When, through Henley, Mark laid the
matter Of partnership informally be-
fore Quinby, he was allowed to see
through the philanthropist to-Quinby.
At first Quinby unctuously but firmly

less freedom that he did not want,
paid for by the loss Of ever the pre-
tense OF affection. BY an ill-disguised
mutual aversion.
His reflections were interrupted by
a hand on his shoulder. Henley sat
down beside him.

Mark nodded.

Later. Henley and Mark left their
refuge and sauntered through the
crowd. 1t CHANGED that Quinby espied
them. He deserted an admiring group
to greet them p%aternally.
"A lifelong dream has been realized,
thanks partly to you"-he placed a
hand on Henley's shoulder com
mander in the field. And to you"-he
laid the other hand on Mark his
chief lieutenant"
1t was a striking tableau. Quinby,
modestly unaware Of the many eyes
upon them, held it a moment. then
gracefully withdrew.
My commander in the f1eld!"
sneered Henley. Drunk! Blind drunk
with self-importance!"
How much better are WEI"
Sometimes" Henley said coldly.

away.
Mark, left alone, began to pick his
path yingerly around trailing gowns
and chattering groups, in search of
fresh air and quiet. But once, as he
was passing a group Of men, a remark
arrested his attention. He did not
know the speaker, but he halted
sharply and addressed him.
Who was hat you said committed
suicide?"
The mar looked at him strangely a
moment before answering.
Timothy Woodhouse. 1t was prac-
tically suicide. He insisted on going
up in his new flying machine. Broke
his neck, Of course"
Mark passed on quickly. Not 80

shouldn't turn an honest dollar at the
expense Of MacGregor, is it?"
1t is not. however, true, as alleged

his projects open to legal interference.
In this case, that special Providence
which seems to guide the schemes OF
men of such honesty, graciously rem

"Tll give you" proposed Timothy
eagerly, "a half interest In the ma

Mark seemed to be fighting down an
impulse. But he shook his head. You

rather than commercial. And I'm Just

Timothy sighed. That ends it, l

But the event had a sequel. Scarcely

Timothy was evidently excited.

OREGON'S WEAK
TEAM EXPECTED
To WIN TODAY

PORTLAND. Ore, Oct. II. -
Although there are a number of
new men on the University of
Oregon team which plays its Sec
ond conference game of the sea-
son here against the Washington
State College eleven this after
noon, the new material is consid-
cred so promising that the sup
porters of the Eugene team are
looking forward to a victory, pos
sibly by a low score.
When IL is considered that Ore
gon had only two men on the line
who ever played in a conference
game before last Saturdays con-
test with Whitman, which it won,
20 to 3, the showing is all the
more remarkable. Beckett at
tackle and Cook at guard, were
the only veterans. Risley, CEN
ter; Snyder at guard; Philbin at
tackle; Weist and Garrett, the To-
cal interscholastic stars, who
worked in their first conference
games at the end positions, show
ed most promising form.

Don't take another dose of
drugs. You know how they must
upset your stomach and cause
bad digestion. You know the
many disagreeable effects of
drugs, yet you go on taking them
for every little pain or disorder,
Just because you were taught
that nothing else could cure.
We have the natural way of
curing disorders and chronic all
ments-the way nature does it.
We cure with electricity.
The reason drugs don't cure is
because they do not help nature.
Nature needs electricity nour-
ishment. something that builds
up. Drugs contain no nourtsh-
ment-no e1ectrfeity-just poison,
which tears down.
One way of curing is to re-
store electricity where IL Is
