brought her guns to bear.
Suddenly the Decurion seemed to
have run into tropic thunderstorm.
She quivered to the shock of her own
guns and trembled to the conclusion
of the enemy's shells.
Time passed, and once, as she ma
neuvered, she rolled badly. The two
men now seemed on good terms and
yelled cheerily to each other as they
helped with the heavy loads. The
engines changed their throbbing
rhythm, and still the awful thunder
grew fercer while she shook as
though giant were pounding at her
steel armor with some titanic ham,
mer.
The hours crept on and the all
was suffocating. Steam escaping
from somewhere hid them in white
wreaths. The stencil of burning

Suddenly Jim Miller noticed that
he was ankle deep in water.
''She's sinkingp' he shouted to
Adams, his voice hoarse and cracked
The words passed from mouth to
mouth, as inch by inch the water
rose, swilling to and fro across the
submerged fiat till the men at the
hoist were up to their knees, when
she rolled heavily.
A telephone shrilled, and Jim
answered it.
'After magazinel Got much wa
ter?" came the voice.
"About a foot, sir"
"All right. Garry on"
Gradually the firing ceased, and
down below, where these men were
bottled up, it grew very quiet. AT
frightening intervals explosions
shook her as the enemy's marksmen
got home. She had fallen out of the
battle line, crippled. But the en-
gines still beat on.
Where's all this water coming
from?" asked Adams.
AS he spoke the lights went out
and only the battle lanterns cast q
dim glow through the clouds Of
steam. The water had risen to the
thigh-oily, black.

LOVE, LIFE AND EUeENlcs.

Suppose the eugenists could have
their way and Danish love, who would
care to live2 What purpose would
life have? 1t would have none.
There would be no life, only an exist

feels that love is beautiful, it sees in
practice that it is true. Love makes
the world, love keeps it, only to love
shall it be given in the future. There
fore have poets sung it and story

shine and cheeks burn for it. There

IN The MAGAZINE
Personal Enmlties Die In the
Stress Of Stronger Passions.
BY HAROLD BLIND.


Rosie had written to her old boy
and-girl-together sweetheart Jim and
told him about Charles desertion
and breach Of faith. The wiry SER
geant Of marines had sworn loudly
and drunk deep of ale and had come
to see her at the first opportunity.
He said:
"Well, my dear, now will you
marry me9 Rosie, say you will I've
loved you boy and man, and I can
keep you decently! Well cry quits
over the past, old grip
ooh, Jiml Would you
marry me now after
I've treated you so bad?"
would I marry you now? {.
Yes, by George, I would and
I will For I've loved you true since
was little nipper. I will But
the Lord help that dog if I meets
limp
Now it happened that Jim Miller,
the marine, and Charles Adams,
petty officer, were both drafted into
the new battleship Decurion when
she was commissioned at Ports
mouth. Only the discipline of the
service kept him from open hostility
and a bitter fight. He applied for
an exchange.
But one day England woke to see
the storm hanging black above her
to see the lightning leap between the
somber battlements, to hear the
growlings of the thunder, and to feel
the hot wind beaten by the pinions Of
the eagles as the lion crouched ready,
lifting his head and snarling at their
attack.
Down in the heart of the Decurion
nothing was known save that she was
steaming full speed into a fleet ac-
ton. In the after magazine they did
not hear the battle open. Miller and
Adams, experimenting the hosting
of ammunition, got news Of it by tel
ephone.
Although their duty compelled
them to work together, they had only
spoken necessary words. Isolated
from the rest of the vessel, the little
band of men waited in silence as the
stately ship neared the foe and

BIG QUESTION DECIDED.

The Literary society was enter
tanned Thursday evening at the home
of Clara Miller. A good program
was rendered, including a debate,
"Resolved, That the dirty loving wife
is more desirable than the clean
scolding wife" 1t was proved that
the clean scolding wife was most de-
sired.-Ashtabula CO., Item.

never meant no 'arm :"
"Oh, all right, matey. I believes
you. 1t don't matter much. now,
anyway"
"I've left you and her all I've got,
Miller" said Adams. Then speak
ing tube whistled and all eyes fol-
lowed him as he answered it. He
turned to the men.
''They're going to run her ashore
in Stuart bay if she'll float
SO far. If she don't you'll all have
a nice swim and wash your dirty
mugs. Out yer get Up yer go!
Lively now~
Splashing waist high, they took
the lanterns from the hooks and
climbed up the crazy steel ladders
and made their way through the mar
row danger passages, up through the
shattered viscera of the groaning
hull.
In the danger passage running
round the ammunition chamber be-
meath the barbette the conclusion of
a great explosion threw Jim and Ad-
ans off their feet. They had gone up
at last. Jim lay stunned, deafened,
choking.
After little he got unsteadily to
his feet. Three of his comrades lay
senseless near him. Jim CROPPED for
the ladder, gasping with the fumes,
blinded with smoke and vapor. As
he stumbled back from the blocked
manhole voice hailed feebly:
eli, mate! Give us a lift, for
Gawd's sakel Herew Jim
peered, and saw CHASTITY face. 1t
was Adams.
Jim, I've hurt my back, and I
can't move," he said.

He tried another manhole, but it
was blocked by debris, too.

'I've found one," said Jim, haul
ing Adams round and pulling him
up the ladder through the manhole
into the danger passage that en-
circled the chamber where the huge
hydraulic machinery that worked the
guns was wrecked.
At last, with great exertion, they
emerged into the turret itself. Jim
felt the Decurion settling as he stood
there in gray twilight. Alone he
could get out into the open-even if
it were only to die. But, with Ad-

"Rightl We'll see to him. Look

They threw a rope and Jim fixed
Adams in a cradle. Adams felt no
pain. His injury was merciful-and
fatal.
Haul awayw said Jim, and as
they lugged Adams up he himself
clambered out into the clean west
wind.
1t was dusk and a pale orange
streak fared along the horizon under
the purple storm-wrack. The Decu-
rion was sinking within hail of the
shore. He stood filling his lungs
with the keen, sweet air. Suddenly
the mass of mangled metal touched
a rock-checked- slid-and, as she
swung and the strong rip caught her

The u. d. c. convention which meets
here Nov. 20-23, is an event of more
than passing interest. Union will be
honored in having these splendid wo-
men within her borders. In honor of
their coming The Times will get out
a special edition, one in which we
will give much prominence to the three
Union county chapters and the two
children's chapters of the county; in
the special edition we will publish
quite a number of papers now in the
archives of the chapters, and also quite
a bit of new matter bearing upon the
activities of the organizations in the
county. We hope to make the edition
worthy of the occasion, and will
greatly appreciate any assistance rem
dered by our friends in getting the
material for the paper.

We respectfully suggest that farm
erS throughout the county investigate
the farm loan act. The government
has, in addition to the many other
ways of aiding the farmer devised
this new and advanced way of giving
valuable assistance to those who are
ambitious, and who have pluck and
intelligence. 1t is a difficult thing to
help any man who is too lazy or too
suspicious to investigate a matter that
vitally concerns him.

of our advertisers to the fact that

go over the matter of advertising
rates with any prospective adver-
tiser, and feel sure that we can pre-
