When Aunt Sally. the black eerv.
ant, admitted . tiny boy into Doctor
Carriers ONCE, the old physician at
first saw nobody. Then. looking down,
he saw the dark hair and sunny eyes
of his own hayward boy, Harold. ~
he had been at six, and as he always
would be in his memory. For Of Har-
old Carter at twenty he never consent
ed to think.
Hello! What's your name. sonny!"
he asked.
Harold. please, grandfather"
What" cried the doctor, jumping
out Of his chair.
He had destined his son for his own
profession. but folly had succeeded
folly, and at last there had been q
scene at the end of which the doctor
ordered his son from his presence,
never to enter it again. Harold had
complied-twelve years ago.
Perhaps If his wife had been living
the old mans heart would have yield
ed in the end. Indeed, 1t had softened,
and often and often he had deplored
the loss Of his onl, child. But his pro-
fessional cares absorbed all his time
and left him little for mourning. He
was the best loved doctor in q south
ern city. and the most sought after.
Now and again, at intervals Of years,
he had had news Of Harold. He knew
that. after roaming in the West. he
had returned to dwell in an obscure
part of the same town. He had heard
that he had a position with a manu-.
featuring company and was atoning
for the wildness of his early years.
But the old man was too proud to seek
him, and his son was q replica Of the
father.
Now he looked down with an emo
ton which left him speechless at the
little boy who claimed his name and
approaching, slipped his hand confid
ingly into his.
well, who sent you here?" Doctor
Carter demanded
| Nobody. comed," answered the
little fellow, climbing upon the doc

ness.
Doctor Carter looked down at the
little boy; then he removed him from
his knee.
Come along. Harold he said, put
ting on his hat and going into the
garage, where his high.power automo-
bile stood waiting in readiness by
night and day. Doctor Carter never
knew when he would be summoned.
What is the matter with your IA
ther?" he inquired, as he drove the
machine through the suburban streets.
1t was FIVE in the afternoon, and he
made a detour to avoid the shopping
crowds It was only afterward that 1t
occurred to him that he took his main
direction from the child by telepathy,
though the boy guided him along the
last street and up to the cottage door.

the doctor.

BACK FROM THE FIRING LNIE
First Aid to the Wounded.

Paris, March, 81. 1915.-At almost
every station on the railroads you will
see men shattered and wrecked for
life, men who must fact the future

cept their fate without a murmur of

The best aid these men have is

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing It
with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams, or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the real
cause of thinness goes untouched You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to remarkable new scientific
discovery. it is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-laden
blood This master stroke of modern
chemistry, is called Sargol and has been
Sargol aims through its re-generative, re-
and intestines to literally soak up the
fattening elements of your food and pass
them into the blood, where they are car
ried to every starved, broken down cell
and tissue of your body. You can readily
picture the result when this amazing
transformation has taken place and YOU
notice how your cheeks fill out hollows
about your neck, shoulders and bust dis
appear and you take from 10 to 20
pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol is
absolutely harmless, inexpensive, eff
cient. The Arnold Drug Co. and other
leading druggists of Topeka and vicinity
have it and will refund your money if you
are not satisfied, as per the guarantee
found in every package.
Caution while Sargo1 has given excel
lent results in overcoming nervous dys-
pepsia and general stomach troubles it
should not be taken by those who do not
wish to gain ten pounds more.-Adv.

RIDE AND WORSHIP
SUNDAY School Glass Held on a
Moving Train.
Lesson Taken From Copy OF
Topeka State Journal.
PLAN OF A METHODIST
He Originates 1t Returning
From Beloit Conference.
Chapel Cars on Sunday Trains
Might Pay Railroads.

Salina. Kan, March 31.-The usual
tedious tenor of the passengers anu
trainmen on the solomon pra,ich'
running between Beloit and Sahna'
was somewhat disturbed last Sunday
by a conference enthusiast returning
from the annual conference OF the
Methodist church held at Belolt last
week who held Sunday school class
on the train.
Toward the usual hour of holding
Sabbath schools the conferee became
wearied of the tedious journey and
after securing copy OF the Iopekd
State Journal containing the interna-
tional Sunday school lesson, gathered
a group about him ana nero Grass
on the train.
1--WE are, all away from our own
Sunday schools he declared, land we
might just as well hold one OF our
own right here. I don't know that L
ever heard of such a service on a
train, but I don't like to miss Sun
day school and 1 believe there are a
number here that don't want to any
more than do.
Many Joined In.
Quite a number on the train were
in hearty favor of the proposition
and a group of nearly a dozen people
gathered in the rear coach and the
leader began his lesson with the text:
righteousness eXalteth nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people
Interest in the discussion was
heightened by bringing in some Illus
trations from the war field in Europe,
which soon drew the attention of many
who had refused to join in the SER
vice.
A roll call and addresses Of the class
were taken and the names of those
who are keeping an attendance record
in their home schools will be sent to
their superintendent.
Local people who have been discuss
ing the unique Sunday school scheme
have raised the question as to whether
or not the railroads would be justi-
fed from a standpoint of increased
Sunday traffic in putting on special
chapel cars in which passengers could
hold church and Sunday school serv-
ices while making a journey.
