Kettner said 1t would be a building
representative Of the power, prestige

that the German emperor was taking

Herr Saran said he did not believe
that the new ambassadorial palace
would be modelled after the Sans

Potsdam, but that If present plans are
sanctioned by the government the
proposed building would cost "a

TEMPLE BAILEY

1t was at midnight that Mar
grave coming out of his Office after
several hours of nerve-racking work
over some legal papers, faced the
illumined square.
The air was warm and spring-like,
with the hint of summer that comes
now and then in March.
Up one block and down two Mar
grave knew of a little place where
one could get a chop and salad. He
was hungry, and he turned his steps
northward, anticipating the savory
odors which would greet him when
he opened the door.
But he was not destined to open
that door for many days to come,
for as he turned the first corner some
one said breathlessly: "Can you tell
me" and stopped.
Margrave uttered an exclamation.
'sWhen-where?" was all he could
say.
'Iet me co." said the girl, and
began to walk rapidly away from
him.
Margrave followed her. "Kathe-
rine," he cried, 'let me speak to
youw
She slowed her pace somewhat.

to the east, ''It's almost day." she
said, and they turned to face the
golden promise of a wonder dawn.

Iodine is Flesh Forming

This has been proven by New
Jersey druggist who in II years ex-
perience has has many calls for salves
for cuts, burns and sores. He has
seen many things used but none with
such success as the following. 3 years
ago he had a Burlington farmer call
with pile prescription. A month later
the farmer returned, said it cured him
and that he also tried it for cows score
teats, CALLED horse with success. The
druggist looked up the prescription
and found it contained iodine in form
that would build up new tissue without
the caustic acton of of the crude drug
on the old hearty tissue. He mixed
the ointment for hundreds of customers
and it is so good he thinks the public
should be benefited so has had it patent
ed under the name of Healo and placed
out on sale at all drug and country
stores.

THROUGH AN UNKNOWN LAND
Adventurous Voyage Made by Young
Australians Travelling In
Light Canoe.

A remarkable voyage was taken by
four young Australians of Goulburn,
Victoria, recently, from Tolwong
Mine to Nowra. The young men
provided themselves with a canvas
canoe IA feet long and weighing 100
pounds, which could accommodate
all four, as well as their provisions,
the whole outfit weighing about four
hundredweight. The party went to
Tolwong by lorry, being set down
at the top of the aerial tramway at
the mine. The canoe and accesso-
ries had to be taken down the noun
tain side to the river, the task ne
cessitating a rest every 60 or 70
yards. For the first 80 miles only
waterholes and rapids were encoun-
tered, but the next day the party
were rewarded for their e1ertion by
stretch of " miles of water. The
scenery was magnificent, but good
water for canoeing was not reached
till they came to Burrier, 26 miles
above Nowra. The journey was
then finished in one day. The voy-
ageurs immensely enjoyed the trip,
and described the shooting the rap
ids as a glorious sensation. Game
was plentiful en- route in the shape
of wallabies, pigeons, fish and few
pheasants. Between Badgery's
Crossing and Burrier the adventur-
lists were completely cut off from civ
ilization.
