WHAT cA7ARRH IS

It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shownthat nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat it's
by %enriching your blood with the
oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
fomalcoho1 or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Bio Raft.

On the fourteenth of March the
wheezy tug pulled the great, brown
tigar-shaped monster that meant so
much to Sandry and the fortunes of
the Dilltpgworth from it's mornings
out to the narrow. deep neck of the
bay that would take 1t to the sea.
Sandry for the first time in his life
felt the slow. sliding motion as the
great oval floor responded to the
screeching tug and the ebb tide.
On board with Sandry we're Daily
and eight Indians. all armed and wait
ing for anything that might develop.
But Hampton had no notion of meet

tically abreast of the mill at Toledo
the Yellow Pines owner was conspicu-

sunlight. She stood a moment. her
breath coming and going in great
gasps, like that of a doe mortally
wounded, and i'm her eyes was no light.
Like the wounded doe. she fed to
the hills for sanctuary. Coosnah
swung into his pace behind her; and
presently, after an hours climb. they
reached the great fir stump on the
crest of the ridge. Here the girl flung
herself on her knees, gripping her
braids in savage fingers. and for a wild
space something within her that she
had never known in all her life arose
and shook her. She had gone back
thousand years. Blind rage was upon
her-she wanted to fight as the pre-
historic female fought for her mate.
So she knelt and rocked in the lust
of fury while the little clouds sailed
in an azure sky and the hill streams
trickled to the valleys, and suddenly
a bird in a high pine top dropped a
string of notes. clear, silvery, spar
king. for all the world like the dia-
mond notes of flute and instantly she
covered under them. covering her eyes
in instructive guilt.
