the following telegram upon a pad
which he carried in his pocket:

hurried to the serving-table for finger
bowls, as demanded by a fussy gentle
man at table in front of him.
As for Holton. he was smoking a
long cigar and, gazing thoughtfully at
the ceiling, trying to determine where
he had seen the face OF that waiter be

forth the stirring notes Of Sousas Q

was then at the apex. and the floor
was filled with whirling couples. A
few minutes late, all other thoughts
flashed from his mind as the girl he
had met in the restaurant passed in at
the door on the arm of her father. She
was smiling animatedly. and was al

Captain Henry Mason in command of

freight vessel ran into the mouth. of
Blue Springs and the engineer and
mate transferred some gasoline to
the raft, which Captain Mason prev
iously ordered. The mate, Carl Ma
son, handed the gas to his father,
Captain Henry Mason, and the cap
tain put the infiammable fluid, which
was in four five gallon cans, on the
raft above a small fire, around which
Captain ]. w. Randall and Pilot
Make Mason warmed themselves.
The Sharpshooter's mate yelled not
to place the gas above the fire, re-
peating the order three or four
times, but the RATS commander fail
ed to hear the warning. Soon a lit
tie of the gas leaked out and foated
down to the fire and in a moment the
blaze fiared high. Captain Mason
put out in the Oregonian and circled
about, advanced and used his boat
hooks, sousing the cans which were
now balls of fire, deep down into the
stream. Every time he brought can
to the surface it would blaze again.
The Sharpshooter stood by, although
the river was ablaze all around her. :"

they seen aught so entransing as

wondrous and magical, to be remem-

Oklawaha she says: THE boat

itself, with still the same flowry sol

wild cries of birds, glittering with
slanting sunbeams, festooned with
waving garlands that hang from tree

A SIMPLE WAY TO
REMOVE DANDRUFF
Prevent Falling Hair and End Itching
Scalp.

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces of plain, COM
mon liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will NEEDY ap-
ply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve. and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace Of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff You may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.
If you value your hair, you should
get rid of dandruff at once, for moth
ing destroys the hair so quickly. 1t
not only starves the hair and makes
it fall out, but it makes 1t stringy,
straggly. dull, dry, brittle and lifeless,
and everybody notices it.-Adv.
