But despite his confident tone he

rock-walled canyons became ravines,

whose gentle slopes were carpeted

dream that in this fair and smiling
region death awaited them in its most
hideOus form.
Emerging on the upper slopes of one
of these mountain valleys, they saw
below them a broad band of marsh,
it's viscid, Shiny surface broken here
and there by cIumps OF buIlrushes and
reeds, winding like a great and loath-

To avoid this bog would, Hope guess

said Hope carelessly; 'but we can't

swampy ground. I've shot ducks in
far worse swamps than this hundreds
of times" And lifting Cleo in his
arms he waded out into the marsh.
For the first hundred feet or so he
experienced no difficulty, but, as he
proceeded, the surface became softer,
more treacherous, and, under Cleo's
added weight, he sank deeper at every
step. But his was not the character

he suddenly lost his footing and
plunged forward, and, before he real

LETTERS TO EDITOR
An Urgent Appeal

To the Editor of The Age-eHrald:
 For the many kind things said concern ing the Anti-Tuberculosis association and it's management, I would express cordial appreciation. But we need more than words and sentiments.
 More than 5000 letters were sent out by the association in the early days of July, explaining the needs and showing the activities and great value of this work being done throughout this city and Jeff ferson county. To these letters responses have already been made by IA friends with gifts and pledges amounting to s30S for the balance of the year.
 This is a very urgent reminder and request lest other distinguished friends to whom the appeal was made lose sight of our need.
 Generous contributions have been made by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. American Steel and Wire com- pany, and Semet-Solvay company with which the amounts already reported total nearly one-fourth of the $S000 asked for Thanking The Age-Herald for all cour- tesies and aid by generous publicity af- forded, Respectfully,
