stood there and listened. Above him

the conductor said, and almost instant
~ there came another wild cry in the
darkness.
Its in the tower shouted the con-
ductor, leaping to the cinder path. Get
sam and Bob. quicki Something's
wrong"
He ran forward to the engine. and
the brakeman hurried back into the
train. Soon he emerged again and
leaped down. followed by two porters,
one from each car.
"Sayville" whispered Lardener ex-
citedly. There's WarnerAin the smok-
ing compartment in the rear. He

as these men go to the tower, we can
rush I'm there, gag him and carry him

and the three men dashed toward it.
Come on" said Salville tensely.

the dim passageway OF the sleeping
car. Through it they hurried around
the crooked end. and Sayville, revolver
in hand, reached the door of the smok-
ing compartment.
Hands up" he commanded, land
don't make a sound"
Warner wheeled. looked startled for
a moment, flashed a quizzical glance
over the two intruders with the grimy
clothes and then cursed.
Il recognize you, Sayville." he said
'Who' the other-Lardener, isn't it2
And what's the game?"

flash of the neck.
"Quick. Lardener," the older man
called. Get his hands"
Lardener ducked behind the strug-
CLING pair-but his help was unneces-
sary; with spasmodic gurgle. Warner
crumpled and sank in a heap. In a
moment, Sayville had flung the sense

Tumble those things back into his

and started for the door. Warner evil

the night. his open suit case being on

followed.
They clambered down from the car
and regained the shelter OF the trees.
Lights flashed along the track near
the tower. and several men could be
seen moving about the upper room.
The two amateur bandits did not wait
to see what further was happening.
With their burdens. they crept as quiet
ly as possible across the dark field to
where the aeroplane had been left.
When they reached il. Sayville depos-

they soon had the gag adjusted. Their
two BELTS buckled together, secured the
prisoner behind the seats, flat on the
floor of the boat. and they stepped into
their own places.
Sayville pressed the self-starter: the
whole machine vibrated with the throb-
bling of the silent engine
"All ready" he warned, and showed
in his clutch.
In the air. he snapped the landing
wheels up into their compartments in
the hull and swung about. coupling up
his automatic controls to cross directly
over the tower and the motiOnless
train.
Men were sWarming out Of all OF the
cars; lanterns blinked in the darkness;
hoarse shouts came up to them as the
crew, taking UP the clue given by the
released towerman. began their hunt
for the two desperate bandits who had
so boldly held up the Southern Ex-
press. Lardener chuckied as the ma

far behind.

Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
"Uncle Wiggily and Miss Muffet."
By HOWARD, B. GARIS.

her TO sit down beside you, and fright
en- you away"
Little Miss Muffet laughed jolly
laugh
"Oh, Uncle WiggiIy,' she cried 'Tm
not at all afraid OF spiders, I'd let a
dozen Of them sit beside me if they
wanted to, for I know they will not
harm me, il do not harm them. And
besides, 1 knew this spider was coming
all the while"
You did?" cried Nurse Jane, sur
prised like.
ITO be sure I did She is Mrs. Spin
Spider. and she has come to measure
me for a new cObweb silk dress; haven't
you. Mrs. Spin Spider?"
Yes, child, 1 have" answered the
spider. mo one need be afraid Of me-"
'.Tm not" Uncle Wiggiiy said. only
I did not want you to Brighten Miss
Muffet away before she had her curds
and whey"
"Oh, mad them the little girl said.
Nurse Jane gave them to me before
you came in, Uncle Wiggily. But now
let me tell you what ! came for. and
then Mrs. Spin Spider can measure me
for new dress. 7 came to ask il you
would do me the favor to come to my
birthday party next week. viii yOu?"
"Of course I willr' cried Uncle Wig
gily. I'll be delighted"
Good" laughed Little Miss AIuffet,
Then along came Mrs. Spin Spider. and
sat down beside her and did not fright
en- the little girl away. but. instead,
measured her for a new dress
So from this we may learn that cob
webs are good for something else than
catching flies. and in the next story,
if the parlor floor doesn't come upstairs
to lie down on the brass bed and make
the pillow lonesome, I'll tell you about
uncle Wiggily and the first little kitten.

VIII Make Nervous Rundown PeO-
pie 200 Percent Stronger in Two
Weeks Time in Many Cases.
New York, n. Y-"One glance is
enough to tell which people have iron in
their blood" said Doctor Sauer, a spe-
cialist of this city in n recent discourse.
They are the ones that d. and dare.
The others are in the weaklinS class
Sleepless nights spent worrying over
supposed ailments, constant dosing with
patent medicines and narcotics for
nervous weakness. stomach, liver or
kidney disease and useless attempts to
brace up with Strong coffee or other
stimulants are what keep them suffer
ing and vainly longing to be strong
Their real trouble is lack Of iron in the
blood. Without iron the blood has no
power to change food into living It's
sue and therefore. nothing you eat does
you any good; you don't get the
strength out of it. The moment iron is
supplied the multitude OF dangerous
symptoms disappear. I have seen doz-
ems Of nervous, rundown people VINO
were ailing all the time, double and
even triple their strength and endur-
ance and entirely get rid Of every sign
OF dyspepsia, liver and other troubles
in from ten to Il days time simply by
taking iron in the proper form. And
this, after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without any
benefit.

The absorbed gaze of the eyes of
the Nation that have been concen-
trated upon our beloved State for
the past few months, with an in
terest that had more than a pass
ing motive behind it, may now be
directed elsewhere, as Louisiana
has been true to herself, true to
tradition and true to the principles
that have been instilled into her
people with their life blood,
1t is passing strange, that this
national interest should have held
50 long, as the story told at the
primary in January should have
civ en- clue enough as to what the
sequal would be, and Louisiana re-
affirmed on Tuesday in no light
way, that Democracy will rule as
long as the Star Spangled Banner
still waves DER the land Of the free
and the home of the brave.
The result of the election Tues
day affirmed 10 the nation that
Louisiana approves of the adj
ministration of her great Demo
cratic leader and will stand by him
for another four years.
The vote given Rufin G. Pleas
ant and the whole Democratic
ticket, assures US that the next
four years will be years of peace
nnd prosperity, devoted to the up
building of the best interests OF
the State and people, from a
foundation as solid as a rock.
The campaign in Natchitoches
was conducted on a high plane and
