sails for the southwest. Barnes real
lied that to save the girl she must
have q doctor who knew his business.
Mrs Barnes would know how to care
for the girl, once she knew what tho
trouble was. There would be some
news in the papers. A young and
beautiful woman did not Jump from q

A fair wind carried the Betty into

she had not spoken single word.

The village doctor shook his grizzled

But he searched the newspapers in
vain, for the simple fact that he did
not think to glance over the old ones.
The village took good deal Of In
terest in the affair. They gossiped
about 1t and strolled out to the Barnes
cottage to satisfy their curiosity. One
thing was certain to their simple
minds: some day Barnes would get a
great sum Of money for his kindness.
They had read about such things in
the family story paper. She was rich
mans daughter: the ring on the un-.
known's finger would have fitted out

Florence was soon able to walk
about. Ordinary conversation she
seemed to understand; but whenever
the past was b1oached she would
shake her head with frowning eyes.
Her main diversion consisted Of sitting
on the sand dunes and gazing out at
sea.
One day q stranger came to town.
He said he represented life insur,
ance company and was up here from
Boston to take q little vacation. He
sat on the hotel porch that evening,
surrounded by an admiring audience;
The stranger had been all over the
world, SO 1t seemed. He spoke famili

Shanghai. as the villagers-some of
them-might have spoken Of Boston
There were one or two old timers
among the audience. They had been
to all these parts. The stranger knew
what he was telling about. After tell

the most suitable spot near Captain
Barnes cottage just outside the vii

he departed for Boston, from there to
New York. He proceeded at once to
the apartment of the princess, where
Braine declared that he himself would
go to the obscure village and claim
Florence as his own child. But to
insure absolute success they would
charter Morse's yacht and steam right
up into the primitive harbor.
When Vroon left the apartment Nor.
ton saw him. He was a man Of inn
pulses, and he had found by expert
ence that first impulses are generally
the best. He did not know who Vroon
was. Any man who called on the
Princess Perigoff while Braine was
with her would be worth following.

BILL NAY SECURE
MONEY FOR STATE
Measure Introduced by Senator Pitt.
man for University and
Road Fund

A copy Of senate bill 71os introduce
ed on December 20 by Senator Key
Pittman OF Nevada, has been received
from him with some explanation OF
its objects says the Journal.
The bill seeks to provide a source of
revenue through the sale of public
lands Of the United States, for the aid
OF the University Of Nevada and for
road construction OF this state. Sen
ator Pittman announces that through
the development of the lands he finds
the only means of getting revenue for
these purposes. Sentiment in the
lower house of congress is strong
against granting more land directly
to b states even for school purposes
and 1t is impossible to get a grant OF
land for the university and roads in
this state. The proposed law, Senator
Pittman says, has the approval OF the
department Of the interior. The bill
has been referred to the committee on
public lands.
A summary prepared here of the
provision of the bill follows:
The secretary Of the interior is au-
thorized to grant to persons or corpor-
atoms a permit giving the exclusive
right over a period Of two years to
drill or explore for water ove a
space Of not more than $780, acres of
open land which cannot be economic
ally irrigated from surface sources.
Work must begin in six months and
be diligently prosecuted. II water Is
found and shown to be sufficient to
raise crops, other than native grasses,
on 20 acres or more, the permittee
then has the right to select and pat
ent one-fourth of the tract in the
permit. The other three-fourths Is re-
served and sold at auction by the
interior department in farm units of
40 acres or more on payments of
not more than five annual Install
ments.
One-third of the proceeds from
sales goes into the reclamation fund:
one-third of the state of Nevada sole
ly for the university and one-third for
a road fund administered in Nevada
by the secretary of the interior. A
board is provided for consis ting of the
United States surveyor general in Ne
vada, the state engineer and an ap-
pointee of the secretary of the interior
who is to be named chairman and
superintendent. This board is to be
appointed when there is enough
money to pay for the location survey
or construction of one road.
The success of such a scheme for
producing revenue would depend on
a combination of the enterprise of
searchers for water and the demand
for lands demonstrated thus capable
OF irrigation.
For example, If a man gets a per-
init for 1850 acres and finds enough
water in two years he gets for him.
self $40 acres which at $40 as an ar
bitrary value would mean $500 for
less than two years work with a drill.
The three-fourths left, 1920 acres
would be divided and two-thirds or
1880 acres would come to the use OF
the state, half for the university and
half for roads. At an arbitrary of $40
an acre this would mean $4,000 for
each purpose payable in five years or
less. This would be the net result of
the reclamation Of each tract two
miles square,

CREATE AN ESTATE TODAY

WHAT are you working for? Isn't it
to build UP an independent future for
yourself; to provide for your loved
ones SO that the comfort of your home
and the happiness of those about you
will not cease at yor death or in your
age2. A great many men fail to re-
alize this desire through Incidence and
lack of foresight in the very a
that should be the most beneficial.
Their intentions are good-but inten-
lions pay no bills, buy no food, dress
no widow and children, pay no rent
or interests, lift no mortgages, buy no
home, nor do they keep you in your
declining years.
II you were offered a credit of a
few thousand dollars, to be paid to
your family at your death, or to your
self 20 years hence, should you be
alive, and in consideration of that
credit you pay a minimum annual
interest on hat sum for 20 years,
you would consider it an easy way
OF securing an e~state--an opportunity
OF providing yourself and dear ones
against possible want. You would not
hesitate a moment to grasp 1t.
That's Just What Insurance
Amounts To!
Why not insurance now, when you're
in health. 1t will sometime be too
late. The time is now, and here is the
logical place for right insurance.

Gas In The Stomach
Is Dangerous
Physicians Recommend the use oi
Magncsia.

Sufferers from Indigestion or dys-
pepsia should remember that the
presence Of gas or wind In the sto-
mach invariably indicates that the
stomach Is troubled by excessive acid
ity
This acid causes the food to fer
ment and the fermenting food in turn
gives rise to noxious gases which dis
tend the stomach, hamper the normal
functions of vital internal organs,
cause acute headaches, interfere with
the action of the heart, and charge
the blood stream with deadly pois-
ons, which In time must ruin the
health. Physicians say that TO quickly
dispel dangerous accumulation of
wind in the stomach and to stop the
food fermentation which creates the
gas the acid IN the stomach must be
neutfalized and that for this purpose
there Is nothing quite so good as a
tenspoonful OF pure bisurated mag
nesia taken In a little water imme-
diately after meals. This instantly
neutralizes the acid, thus stopping fer
mentatlon ana the formation of gas.
and enables the infamed, distended
stomach to proceed with its work un-
der natural conditions. Bisurated
magnesia is obtainable in powder or
tablet form from any druggist; but as
there are many different forms Of
magnesia il Is important that the BIZ
surnted which the physicians prescribe
should be distinctly asked for.

STATUES OF KINGS
STORED IN 0BSCURITY
tAs.oclatpd Press correspondcneeA

l-o ldon, April 20. - Seven heroic
statues of English kings. which for
merry occupied q position OF great
honor in the old Westminster hsll,
near Westminster Abbey, are gather
ing dust In an obscure warehouse be-
carse no suitable place for them cun
be found.
The huge statues were accepted by
the city corporation as a loan IA per-
petuity, but ever since then the city
fathers have been at their Wits end
as To how To dispose Of them. All
sorts Of suggestions have been made
and sites proposed but IN each case
certain difficulties stood IN the way
The statues are OF such a character
that they cannot he exposed TO the
weather. and there Is distinct oppos-
tion to dividing the kings among sew
eral museums or public buildings,
none Of which seem capable of hous-
ing the entire group artistieally.
1t is not unlikely that they will be
allowed TO remain In the warehouse
until SOME new art museum is erected
IN which provision for them can be
made. The statues are by the leading
sculptors Of their time and are re-
garded by art experts as works Of
considerable merit.
