EPISODE VII.

That released Dr. Foster, and sent him back triumphantly to the witness room. There were two newcomers there now a sWeet-faced matronly looking woman of middle age, rather old fashioned in her dress, and Q young girl of about twenty-five who was divided between nervous fears and youthful zest. She was destined to be the next witness and pr. fos- Ger smiled involuntarily when he saw her. Most people smiled at Amy, for that matter, for she was bubbllng over with youth and laughter, but for all that her gaiety was backed up by the shrewdnCss of the modern girl who fights her own battles promptly and successfully.
 Her tailored suit and soft blouse open at the throat were smartly cut, and her hat was a hint daring in its shape and the way it was tilted over her little nose, and when the bailiff called her name, Miss Amy Barton" " her agitation led her to tip it at an even more dangerous angle as she tried to powder her nose and kiss her mother at the same time.
 I'm scared blue!" she confided to the other witnesses in a shaky voice. "A first night is a cinch to this. What do I have to Say?'
 You have only to answer Ques- tions," said pr. Foster, and there is really nothing to be frightened about"
 T suppose not,' she answered as she went through the door, "but I wouldn't care anyway, I'd go be hanged if it would help Mary"
 Under the careless words there was a sudden deeper note of sincerity, and her eyes were alight with pity and af- fiction when she caught glimpse of the defendant, who tried to smile at her. In fact, so intent was she upon the prisoner that she took the oath carelessly and the moment she was on the stand turned to the judge and said:
 'I don't know what I am supposed to do, your Honor, but I want to tell you right here, that Mary Page is the best and the bravest and the truest girl in the whole wide world"
 For the first time the judge smiled :; then he leaned forward and said kind 1y:

The Lady who always -knows-so how was packing. On the floor be- side her little trunk was heap of clothing and miscellaneous articles. so large that it seemed incredible they should ever be crowded inside it.
 Molly, the little stenographer lady, said so. "You're such wonderful packer Tell me how you do it.
 Mercy I'm not wonderful at all" laughed the lady You ought to have seen my mother pack"
 You inherited it, then" said Mol ly. ''I wish you'd tell me some of your secrets.
 T haven't any" said the lady. Just at that moment she took up a shoe and began to pack some stockings into it.
 '"There, I knew it." said Molly. 'T never thought to pack things inside of shoes
 The lady smiled at that. "I thought everybody packed the inside of things like hats or shoes"
 Well they don't,'' said Molly, "un- less I'm nobody"
 She sat thoughtful for moment. Then: '"There's another kind of pack lhS thlHSS lnSlde or lnlhSS tnal every body doesn't do."

KEEPING palm
BEACHES" CLEAN
Dreshers Know How Because
They've Handled Cloths and
Materials for Eighteen
Years.
DRESHER PROCESS PER-
Feet.

A good tailor who makes up his
mind to enter the cleaning and dye
ing game is generally better clean
er and dyer than one who has not
served an apprenticeship at tailor
ing.
You see, it's this way: when one
has spent eighteen years making up
and selling clothes, as have Dresher
Brothers, one must certainly become
thoroughly familiar with the charac-
teristics of every weave, thread,
cord, style, color, surface, etc. That's
just the case with Dresher Brothers,
the immense cleaners and dyers at
2211-2217 Farnam St., because
Dresher Brothers have spent eigh-
teen years in the tailoring business;
in fact, are still operating Omaha's
most popular tailoring establishment
at 1915 Farnam st.
Dreshers know the Cleaning
game as thoroughly as they know
the Tailoring trade; they are able to
personally take hold and do any Of
the pieces of work at their vast
plant, from firing the boiler to dye
ing waist.
Therefore, make up your mind to
it that you are entrusting your pre-
cious "Palm Beach" garments to
knowing hands when you send them
to Dresher Bros Cleaning Plant at
2211-2217 Farnam St. Dreshers
clean "PaIm Beach" Suits just as
they should be cleaned; just as eigh-
teen years Of experience among
cloths and fabrics would suggest.
Dreshers won't harm thread Of the
most expensive palm Beach" Gar
ment you possess; they will clean it
SO that 1t will fairly dazzle in the
sun, and will clean it speedily and
cheaply.
Dreshers charge but 81 for clean
ing and pressing a mans two piece
palm Beach Suit, while a Lady's
palm Beach" suit will be cleaned
and pressed for only $1.50.
Better phone Tyler 345 for a
Dresher man, or leave your work at
Dresher The Tailors' establishment at

to go with this squad. The attack was
made with unfinching bravery, and
the Blooming Boy" as the army had
nicknamed her, carried her bayonet as
bravely as any soldier in the regiment.
THE Blooming Boy" was much de-
bilitated by her marches. She had no
shoes, wearing rawhide cut into strips
and during the work of repairing the
huts her feet were frozen.
She was often advised to desert.
The men did not know their COM
panion. Rather would she die by her
own hand than commit such coward
ly act.
She even refused to be vaccinated
or to go to the hospital tor any all
mcnt. She pretended to have had the
smallpox, fer fear OF discovery IN he
hospital overpowered her fear Of the
disease. She continued to do her full
duty as common soldier and worked
in The buildings at West Point, asking
no indulgence or quarter.
The next distinguished leader under
whom she fought was General Philip
Schuyler, who called for aid against
the Indians on the frontier. Deborah
offered her services, which were
promptly accepted.
During the ghastly battle, when the
bodies of women and children were
lying wounded and mangled, Robert
Shurtliffe" nearly lost his fighting
blood, but only for the briefest instant.
She made several heroic rescues by
smashing her way in house that had
been attacked by the savages, and
whose owner had fled for his life.
In 1882 or 1888 Deborah was sent
with detachment Of troops to Phila-
delphia to suppress mutiny. Here
she was taken i'll and was at once re-
moved to the hospital. DR.. Binner
placed his hand on her heart to as
certain II it was beating To his sur
prise, on opening the shirt he found
an inner waistcoat drawn so tightly
against the breast as to compress it.
He quickly ripped it open. Then, to
his utter amazement, he discovered
that his patient was woman.
After her recovery DR.. Binner gave
her 4 letter to a certain general at
West Point. In it he asked that a
pension be given her, but he also be-
trayed her carefully guarded secret.
She was completely overcome at
this base treachery and begged the
general for her life. She received an
honorable discharge from General
Knox, with testimonials from Generals
Patterson and Shepard. Shortly after
this she rejdined her relations in
Massachusetts,.
Deborah Sampson offered her scrv-
ices to her country, we'll knowing that
soldiers life must necessarily be
one of hardship, privation and unceas-
ing sacrifice. e.
