MODERN WAR is MERCIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given Fair Chance
to Recover Health!

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused The view is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless it is OF
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives it's victim fair chance of re-
covery. 1t does not, as rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown go years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more eff
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidly of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in Brit
ish hospital within "a hours of re-
ceiving their wounds. If the risk of
being hit is greater, the chances of
recovery from injury have been i'm

The project he sought to put before
Smith was the starting of an automo-

had been heard of In South America.
Smith had faith and money. The stu

action, 80 he authorized Tietsort to
get busy. right away. Tietsort did.
He has Yankee push and ingenuity.
He believes in doing a thing well.
He does not speak Portuguese. ex-
cept indifferently, but that did not
bother him. He is an advertising
hustler. He can draw a bit, and he
can write cleverly. He drew up
sketches of advertisements, put them
in color and went around to the auto
mobile dealers Of Rio.
1t seems absurd, but that one North
American, by the desperate energy he
threw into his work and the interest
he aroused, managed to make the adj
vent of that magazine an affair of real
importance to Rio. He called his pub

means The Automobile Review.

pages were advertisements. He
charged $50 page, so he had $1,000
in business in the first issue. He
charged 33 cents copy for the maya

were the people to get 1t that the
whole edition was exhausted within an
hour of its being placed on sale.
That first edition was of $500
copies. He could have sold 5000.
Nothing so handsome ever had been
taken off the presses in Rio. 1t was
novelty indeed In all Brazil there
are only two other trade publications,
and they are not of much account.
With such start Tietsort thought he
had the world by the tail. Prominent
Brazilians were so delighted and en-
thusiastic over the handsome publica-
ton that they were eager to do any
thing or everything to advance its in

Not Due to Ignorance.

Doctor Briggs received note from
farmer living back quite a ways in
the country, requesting him to come
as quickly as possible to see his child
who was very sick with "a very bad

then turned to the mother.

place where planters punches are
brewed. A planters punch is closely
related to the well and favorably
known mint julep. The Barbados
gentleman steered Mr.. Tietsort up
against planters punch and as soon
as that was disposed of insisted upon
another and still another.
Before the coming of the third
punch Mr.. Tietsort had borrowed five
pounds from his friend. After the
third he had to use all his restrain
ing power to keep himself from Dor
rowing more. That $25 covered the
incidental expenses for the rest of the
trip to Rio, but he landed there with
out dollar.
He had stopped at the Grande Hotel
International, the finest hostelry in
the republic, on his former visit and
had spent lot Of money there, giving
dinners to government officials and
others, so he rode up in state. This
was all very we'll but what in the
world he was going to do for money
was what vexed his brain. He had
written an indignant to Colonel
Wilson and mailed 1t at b. ADDS and
hoped to hear from 1t in month or
two. But meanwhile he was In a
strange land and penniless.
Mr.. Tietsort was in the middle OF a
bad fix for sure. There had to come
a showdown. One of the business
projects he had suggested had inter
ested George J. Smith, who controls
the street car advertising in Rio JAN
GIRO. Tietsort went around to see
him about noon and the two went to
luncheon together. After the meal
Tietsort made clean breast OF the
whole situation to Smith.

with sour bile crashes into it, breaking

Tietsort grabbed the envelope,
shook the mans hand, thanked him
fervently and then waved farewell to
his friends on the pier.
AS the ship backed out In the
stream, Tietsort stood on the main
deck and gloried in the view of New
York that soon was to be lost to him
for long. long time. He felt sense
Of exhilaration. Having the envelope
with the money in his pocket and all
the rosy prospects that he pictured in
Brazil. he felt that he was fortunate,
indeed. He remained on deck until
the vessel had passed through the
Narrows and 1t was time to think Of
eating. He went to luncheon and
after luncheon he went to his cabin.
Then 1t was that he sopened the en-
velope to put the money in secure
place. Then he gasped! The envel-
ope contained large wad of paper
and a five-dollar bill. Mr.. Francis
Judson Tietsort was off for South
American travelling like a money
prince with exactly $S.15 to his name.
Tietsort is game. He determined to
act up to appearances so far as he
could and when the blow-off came, he
could not help 1t. Having come to
that conclusion, he gave dollar tip
to the waiter who served him at din
ner, and, although he had a box of
very fine cigars in the cabin, he or
dered cigars in the card room and
handed them around to all present.
It was a horrible bluff, but it served
to establish him for few days.
Then he did little more spending.
He had just fifty cents left when the
steamship was nearing Barbados.
Then Mr.. Tietsort went into execu-
tive session with himself. Should he
go ashore, or remain aboard? There
was just one man in Barbados whom
he knew. 1t would cost fifty cents to
60 ashore, twenty-five to be rowed
from the ship to land, and twenty-five
back. Tietsort decided to go. He

''Why-this isn't Nancy" he gasp
ed, staring at the beautiful young
girl who stood smiling at him
''No, I'm Elizabeth" answered the
girl, blushing at his frank stare of
admiration. Nancy is out this even
ing. Won't you come in, Mr. Jane
SOM"
The news of Walters arrival had
already spread through the village
and reached the Dayton home. 1t was
well for him that he had not heard
the seathing remarks that Nancy had
made about him.
When he took his leave an hour
later, the young man realized that,
whatever his love for Nancy might
have been, the image that he carried
in his heart had now striking re-
semblance to Elizabeth.
And he was bound in honor to ask
Nancy to be his wife. That was the
irony of it! When he called the next
evening and met her his heart sank.
How could he ever have loved Nancy,
this woman with the affected air and
the peevish lines about her mouth?
Though his welcome was not an eff
fusive one, Nancy was hospitable, in
virtue of old associations. Her talk
was vivaciOus, and all about the balls
and parties to which she had been.
She spoke of her beaux, with a sly
glance at Walter, and ,lamented the
tediousness of life in small town.
1t was not until he was about to
leave that Walter summoned up cour-
age to say what was uppeFmost in his
mind.
Nancy, do you remember what 1
told you last time we parted?" he
asked.
Nancy's heart beat quickly, but it
was not with love. She had not had
a proposal for six months. and she
was longing for another scalp to hang
at her girdle.
