There was no doubt of it. They
were to be married some day-some
day, when Eph's dreams came true.
But Eph wouldn't hear of his wife
working, and twelve dollars cut no
ice even in Lausanne. Worst of all,
Eph still had those invention ideas
swarming in his head. He didn't stay
long at work. AS soon as he had
saved hundred dollars he put up a
shed and started on his models. This
time he was devising new torpedo.
A hundred dollars, with board to
meet, doesn't go far in making tor
pedoes.
Eph became raggeder and more
unkempt. It was seen that he would
never be able to take care of Polly.
Only the girl and her mother be-
ieved in him at all, and he was get
ting behind in his board. The chances
of marriage we're more and more re-

the fellow.

Eph never blinked. THAT suits
me-" he answered. And he went to
work.
The Knight company, insolvent as
ever, made steel castings in small
way, and the twenty-five dollar
shares were still to be had, if anyone
wanted them, at about So apiece.
The widow had fifty. Carew held
10000, and every Saturday one was
unloaded on Eph. After couple of
months the magnate grew reckless.
''I'l raise you to hundred" he
said. That meant about $12 a week
to Eph. Actually, Carew was afraid
of losing a good chauffeur. I'll make

Eyes, sir" said Eph.
Eight shares a week passed into
Eph's pocket, or twenty-five dollars
at the actual Knight prices. In six
months he held something over 200
shares, representing a capital of
$500. Polly was jubilant. He had
Spoken of marrying her.
One Saturday Carew said, ''Tn buy

I'm going to hold them, sir, said
Eph. I'm going to sell them my tor

old price, and something more"

A,BuIl Head

Arrows point to the theme of this
chautauqua.
A buIlhead is a one-way piece Of
machinery without a reverse gear.
A buIlhead is a goof, who, when
told something for his own good,
shifts at you and says: 'G'wan, yUh
poor Luke, know what I'm doin',"
and when you come down to pol
ished tacks he doesn't know what
he's doing any more than a wrestler.
Wise guys say: 'It takes two to
make a fight" but Norman, it only
takes on bUllhead to start something.
The prizewinning bullheads are
the crown wearers Of Europe. Just
look what the rafting of the royal
bullheads has started.
Science has it fixed now so that If
anybody is shy in the knot they can
remedy it by overhauling the brain,
but the bulIheads will have to go on
the way they are. Why is that, Os-
wald? Shh! Jake! Cbullheads amt
got no brains.)

Dangers of Draft.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Ainlment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in a short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgia Headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agon-
izing pain gives way to a tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth
and quiet rest and sleep is possible.
