~ AVID nodded, looking down at
her. Yer know I'm going for
Kip. Mary" he said simply.
But, Dave" she faltered, a
breathless terror in her voice, they'll
hang yer fer hit"
David still looked down at her In
silence, and she saw that though her
forebodings might be true it weighed
not one whit with him.
She was like a little tortured bird
beating it's wings against it's cage in
a vain endeavor to find an escape to
happiness. And at length, looking into
his stern face from which the tender
ness had fled, she cried in a sort of
poignant establishment:
but, Dave, 1 love Yer, I love yer"
To her that fact outfaced everything
else. 1t was the one great event Of
her existence; nay, it was her exist
ence. And it seemed to her stupen-
dous and unbelievable that David
could place anything before it.
At her words David drew her to him
tenderly and pushed the arching waves
and mists of shining hair back from
her forehead.
"Sweetheart," he said softly.
But there was still that fatal aloof-
ness in his tone, and with senses sharp
ened by dread Mary detected it. Sud-
denly she sank down upon her knees
before him and caught both his hands
to her breast.
"Dave," she cried again desperately,
n love yer".
She felt that she must make him
understand that that was the first and
the greatest fact-the only ovcrmas-
tering reality of their lives.
II love yer! 1 love yer..' she repeat
ed wildly. "Oh, Dave, I've Civ yer all
myself. Don't yer see that our loves
Their greatest thing an Their only thing?
oh, honey, amt hit right ter put love
before hate? Dave, l love yer! You
you don't seem ter know what that
means, but hits everything ter me,
hits jest everything l am. l love yer,
I love yer, 1 love yer!!"
Passionately she fell to kissing his
uduOS) AASL vi dAo lASl luc OlJIcI
and pressing them against her breast
while she looked up at him with wide
terrified eyes shining out of her drawn
face. Looking down at all her beauty
and passion of love laid at his feet q

vid.

McDermott to Run Despite Charges.

Washington, July II. Representa-
tive McDermOtt of the Chicago stock
wards district faces Il strong movement
for his expulsion from the house as Il
result Of the announcement Of his can
didacy for another term in the house.
McDermott has been censured by
three committees Of the house for his
participation in the lobby scandal. Res
olutions to censure and expel him are
now pending in the house.
Action has been withheld by the
Democratic leaders in the hope that
NcDermott would not be a candidate
for reelection. Their theory was that
he should be dealt with more leniently
II he should announce Il voluntary re-
tirement.
IL shall seek another term whether
this thing goes against me or not" Nc
Dcrmott said.

RED CROSS SEALS
win BE Sold by School Children.
Of This City.
GEO. NJ. MOORE,
Collector.

The American Red Cross is send
ing surgeons, nurses, medical sup
plies, food, clothing and money by the
shipload to Europe to relieve the
frightful distress caused by the war
but has not relaxed it's efforts TO re-
lieve the perennial distress caused by
the white plague in our own country.
For some years it has financed the
Red Cross Christmas seal education
al campaign in the United States and
this year again offers opportunity to
every one in every community to do
his share of work or to make contri-
button, be it only one cent, to further
the movement to conquer the great
est enemy of man-tuberculosis. In
Missouri, where 1878 people died
from it in the year 1913, and where
$4,000 are now suffering from this
disease. the campaign is being CON
Quoted under the general manage
ment of the Missouri Association for
the Relief and Control Of Tuberculo-
sis from the office of its secretary in
Columbia.
lnasmueh as the disease has come
TO be regarded by medical investiga-
tors as essentially a disease of child
hood it seems particularly appropriate
that the seals should be sold and that
the circulars explaining the nature of
disease and the means employed
to prevent infection should be circu-
by school children.
This years seal, printed in three
and %portraying Santa Claus in
smile, full of Christmas cheer
will delight their hearts.
Opportunity to help carry on the
crusade against the disease will be
TO the children Of the Mexico
schools as well as to those of
every other school IN Audrain county
and in the state.Last year i,389,737
were sold in $50 different com
nunities in Missouri and it is expect
I'd that in this years campaign these
will be increased by fifty per
,ent. Beautiful Santa Claus blotters
three colors win be given to chill
iren who sell seals. Rural teachers
should order consignments.
This town and this county must do
is snare in the fight to suppress the
disease. Buy the seals from the
children or'at places where they are
'or sale. They may be purchased from
he secretary in Columbia. Every seal
you use and the whole of every cent
you pay, will help save some child
rom infection.

struction agencies, public and private
are at work on this side Of the At.

drawing aside and glimpses of pres

The hopeful outlook for American
ventures has been summarized by Sec
retafy Redfield in a letter to the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States in which he declared:
