She goes with me, or you'll re.

"All right. But guess tn law
won't hurt me none. I'm in my rights.
There's the door, mister"
Il refuse to go without her!"
Barnes sighed. He was on land q
man of peace, but there was a limit
to his patience. He seized Braine by
the shoulders and hustled him out of
the house.
Bring your proofs, mister, an
nothin' more'll be said; but till y
bring 'em, keep away from this cot
tage."
And, supplemented sailor that he
was, he thought this settled the mat
ter.
That night he kept his ears open for
unusual sounds, but he merely wasted
his nights rest. Quite naturally, he
reckoned that the stranger would
make his attempt at night. Indeed,
he made 1t in broad daylight. with
Barnes not hundred yards away,
calking a dory whose seams had
sprung aleak. Braine had Florence
upon the chartered yacht before the
old man realized what had happened.
He never saw Florence again; but one
day, months later, he read all about
her In newspaper.
Florence fought; but she was weak,
and so the conquest was easy. Braine
was kind enough, now that he had
her safe. He talked to her, but she
merely stared at the receding coast.
"All right; don't talk ii you don't
want to. Here" to one Of the men.
take her to the cabin and keep her
there. But don't you touch her. I'll
break you If you do. Put her in the
cabin and guard the door; at least
keep an eye on it. She may take it
into her head to jump overheard"
Even the temporarily demented are
not without species of cunning.
Florence had never seen Braine till
he appeared at the Barnes cottage. Yet
she revolted at the touch of his hand.
| On the second day out toward New
York she found box of matches and
blithely set fire to her cabin, walked
out into the corridor and thence to
the deck When the fire was discov-
cred it had gained too much Roadway
to be stopped. The yacht was doomed.
They put off in the boats and for half
a day drifted helplessly.
Fate has everything mapped out like
a game of chess. You move a pawn,
and bang goes your bishop, or your
knight, or your king; or she lets you
almost win a game, and then check
mates you. But there is one thing to
be said in her favor-rail at her how
we will, she is always giving odds to
the innocent.
Mike Bannock was in the pilothouse,
looking over his charts. when the look
out in the crows nest sang out: 1.-TWO
boats adrift off the port bow, sir" And
Bannock, who was first-class sailor
although a rough one, shouted down
the tube to the engine room. The
freighter came to halt in about ten
minutes. The castaways saw that they
had been noted. and pulled CALAMITY
at the oars.
There are some things which sci
ence. we'll advanced as it is, cannot
explain. Among them is the shock
which cuts off the past and the coun'
tershock which reawakens memory.

GOOD news TO
CALOMEL USERS

Dodson's Liver Tone is a per-
feet vegetable remedy to take in
stead of calomel and is guaranteed to
be harmless. If you have trouble with
constipation or biliousness, be care
full how you take calomel because
calomel is a form of mercury and if
mercury remains in the system very
long, it will salivate and seriously in
iure the strongest person that ever
lived.
If you need something to start the
liver to working take Dodson's Liver
Tone. 1t is harmless vegetable IL
quid which will liven up the liver as
we'll as calomel does and without any
bad after effects. No restriction Of
habit or diet is necessary. Dodson's
Liver Tone is as safe for children as it
is for grown people and everybody
likes it's taste,
Buy a bottle for fifty cents from
Hooks Pharmacy, or Howell's Phar-
macy, or w. A. Rembert, druggist. and
if you do not find that it absolutely
takes the place of calomel, the drug
store will give you your money back
as soon as you ask for it. No argu-
ment-this is the guarantee that talks.

pending measures this year is gener-
ally such that if there is any serious
disagreement between the two houses
over particular matter, it will prob
ably mean the death of the bill with
out materially prolonging the session.
Few Important House Bills.
The House has passed and sent to
the Senate comparatively few import
ant general bills. Much of it's time
was spent in fruitless effort to cut out
the fees of solicitors general and put
them on salaries. Possibly the most i'm
portant measure passed by the House
is the public health bill which provides
for the creation of health boards in
every county in the state, and for the
better enforcement of the laws for the
protection of health. The Importance
of this measure has been generally
stressed, and it is believed it will go
through the Senate.
An almost equally important meas
ure has been sent over to the House
by the Senate-the vital statistics bill
So thoroughly have the members of
the House been educated on the i'm
portance of this measure, that it is
thought it will pass without difficulty
The Strike Arbitration Bill
Among other important bills passed
by the Senate is the strike arbitration
bill providing for voluntary and peace
full arbitrations of strikes and lockouts
This is long measure and it's serious
danger is that the House may not give
up the time to it, when time is so val
liable However, it stands pretty
coed chance.
Another bill passed by the Senate
provides for the consolidation of the
regular state election which now
comes in October, with the national
and congressional elections in Novem-
Der. All of these elections are settled
in the primary anyhow, and there is
no reason why the formal Endorsement
of the primary action should not be
had all upon the same day.
The session comes to an end by OPP
Grafton of law Thursday at midnight.
, If, by chance, the two houses should
not be through at that time, they will
have to set back the clock.

1914 SESSION Of GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
Winds Up NEXT THURSDAY night
No Prohibition Legislation. Repeal Of Tax Equalization
Law Killed at Start. Only Tilt Over MCCrOry Bill.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 10.-Thursday will
see the end of the 1914 session of the
Georgia Legislature. 1t should ad-
journ Wednesday night, but owing to
an adjournment Tuesday in respect to
the President day has been added to
the session. Contrary to predictions
made at the outset, the session has
been rather dull and uninteresting. AS
the meeting assembled the latter part
of June there was talk of prospective
fireworks and all kinds of floor strug-
giles over various measures, some with
a political end to them.
AS a matter of fact, up to date there
has been only one scrap and that a
near one. 1t was a tilt in the House
over the McCrory school book bill to
have the state publish some of its own
school books, a bill to which, by the
way, the Senate has already admins
tered a death blow. There will be no
change in Georgia's school book ar
rangements, and the adoption Of
books made last year will now hold
for the regular fve-year period.
Tax Equalization Stands.
The fight for the repeal of the tax
equalization law never materialized;
the House committee administered a
death blow to repeal in its unfavorable
report, and the advocates of repeal,
taking stock of the situation, found
there was no use even in calling It
up. The fact is reports came in so
thick and fast about how well the law
was working in many counties of the
state that repealers didn't stand a
chance even to talk politics over it.
No Prohibition Legislation.
There will be no prohibition or anti
prohibition legislation of any kind this
year. Both sides appear to have
agreed that the best thing to do would
be to drop it all, and let matters tsand
as they are Some of the mare radical
prohibitionists did everything in their
power to force the House to consider
the prohibition measures, and finally
got resolution through ordering the
House Temperance Committee to re-
port it's bills on a specific day. The
committee did this, but it reported
them all adversely.
So far as can be seen there are no
bills pending which should continue
the session very far on into Wednesday
night Last year it was the tax and
appropriation bills which casued the
extension of the session on into the
morning of the day following, with
the clock set back. The nature Of

CHAPTER LxxvI.

Dick has been moody and irrit-
able ever since he lost q big con-
tract because he had taken my
advice and did not bride some Of
the officials. Once in a while l
have caught him glancing at me
with kind of look In his eyes
as thought he wished he had not.
Perhaps. little diary, l am mis-
taken about DICK, but, oh, / do
wish he had greater sense Of
honor than he has.
He laughs at things which are
horrible to me and really be-
lieve that he imagines that no
business man can be successful
without getting the better of the
other man.
He seems to think that, now we
are married, will have to keep
up all the religion, all the social
and business morality for the
family. His creed is that man
must supply the will and woman
the conscience of the family.
Last night, about dinner time,
he telephoned to me that he
would not be home to dinner and
that II would probably be ten or
eleven o'clock before he got home.

Between 1000 and 5000 men will go back to work
after weeks Of rest and the Northwest will begin to
boom.
Every large lumber mill in this section will start
up.
Practically all the idle men will be able then to get
employment. The golden harvest of wages will be-
gin to ripen and business will get boost that will
