REV SYKES TELLS OF
 HIS WIPES TROUBLES
Minister of the Gospel Thinks It His Duty to Make State ment About Wonderful Change.

It is seldom, indeed, that men of 1 prominence, especially ministers of the gospel, willingly express their in- debtedness publicly to a proprietary medicine. However, when a medicine obtains that singular purity and eff ciency that is shown by the uniform preparation, Tanlac, statements from our best citizens are ro be considered thoroughly commensurate with the good that is actually being accom- plished.
 Rev. A. H. Sykes, pastor of the Wat kins Park Presbyterian church, Nash vile, Tenn, prominent not only as a minister of the gospel but popular as a man and citizen who has been true 0 his friends and every trust ever reposed in him. said recently:
 For the past 10 months Mrs. Sykes has been in very delicate health. sui fering from bad stomach and kidney troubles, which gradually developed into general nervous breakdown. At times her condition became alarming and I frequently sought medical ad- vice, but nothing we could do for her seemed to bring relief. In fact, she suffered so long and so much that feel it my duty to let everyone know what this medicine has done for her. For several months her condition was such that she had to remain in bed and as a last resort l decided to let her try Tanlac.
 'I am a conservative man and have always been skeptical regarding the use of proprietary medicines, but this case has certainly proven an excep- tion. 1 am now firmly convinced that Tanlac is a medicine of great power and extraordinary merit l do not think l have ever seen anything to give such prompt results. Mrs. Sykes had takes only two-thirds of a bottle of this medicine when we began to notice a marked improvement in her condition. In less than a week from the time she began taking it she was able to sit up and is today able to help with the household duties. Be- fore she began taking Tanlac she had fearful pains in her side. and suffered constantly from sour stomach and in digestion and was intensely nervous. These distressing symptoms, l am thankful to say. have entirely disap- peared, her appetite has returned and she seems to relish everything she eats. She sleeps better and is gaining strength and lesl rapidly. I hin, Itl only question of short tI.ac until her health is fully restored.
 "Tanlac has certainly proved a re- markable remedy in her case and will do all you claim for it. l cheerfuly recommend it to my friends"
 Tanlac is sold in Bisbee by J. N Ball; in Douglas by Douglas Drug Co.,; in Paradise by c. A. Walker. and in Bowie by Bowie Drug Store.-Adv.

That wise, practical broadgauge old banker, Henry Clews, of New York writes hopefully of the situation despite uncertainties He points how the Great War has revolutonized things and created cer- tain degree of uncertainty in everything But still he declares conditions look good right This nation is loaning billions and raising billions for her High shipping is threatened and harassed by the submarine Our railroads taxed to the utter most Old political issues have been swept away and new arise daily. Business methods changing and markets rise and fall with bewdering rapidity But the other hand promise fine yield this year and prices will be high. The demand for labor is precedented. Mr. Clews winds up his remarkable public statement with the following wise and brave words:

Now, after a weeks confinement IN
his cabin, he felt strong enough to ven-
ture out again and to attack his prob
lens. They were personal problems
now, much more intimate than before,
for he was building not only the bridge
but weaving in it's web Of steel his own
future happiness.
OF course he had been able to get
out on the rough porch Of his galvan-
lied iron shack where he had the
bridge in full view and the day before
he had even walked unsteadily down to
the river bank, where he had been
equally surprised and delighted at the
progress that had been made. Abbott
was driver after his own heart. Real
ly things seemed to have gone on just
as we'll without him as If he had been
on the job. He had not been lonely in
his illness, for all Of the chief men con-
nected with the construction had done
their best to beguile the tedium of his
hours by visiting him whenever they
could spare the time.
Abbott had been especially kind In
his somewhat rough-and-ready way.
The big construction superintendent
was fond Of Meade, although he un-
dervalued him. He regarded him more
as a, theoretical than practical man
and the inevitable antagonism between
the theorist and the practical man,
when they are not combined in one per-
sonality, was latent in Abbott's heart.
Nightly, he brought to Meade details
Of the progress Of the work. That eve
ming, just before leaving, he remarked
in the most casual manner in the world,
as If 1t were matter Of little or no i'm
portance, that C-10-R was a trifle out
Of line.
Now C-1O-R as the biggest membeI

Fall and Revelation.


"Its rather confused in here" said
the man, "but we will soon get out
toward the end and then the view is
magnificent. You can see up and down
the river for miles and the night boat
will be along in few minutes"
'Tsn't that it?" asked the woman,
pointing up the river to where a clus-
ter of lights rounded huge bend not
far away, and swung out in midstream.
"Yes," said the man, eff we listen I
think we can hear her."
They both stopped and, sure enough,
family across the water came the
noise of clanking paddles of the big
s1ver steamer. With that sound also
mingled the song of the night wind,
for a wonder comparatively gentle,
making strange, weird harmonies as it
sifted through the taut and rigid bars
of steel. She listened enchanted with
the sound.
The big nOor beams extended from
one side 10 the other of the bridge,
between the tru sSeS at intervals Of
fifty feet. At right angles to them and
six feet apart, tie stringers ran length
ways parallel to the trusses. Here and
there pieces of timber falsework had
been thrown across the stringers for
the convenience of the WOrkmen, but
as these two slowly moved toward mid
stream at last these pieces became
fewer, ard finally there was nothing
to be seen but the heavy floor beams
and the lighter stringers.
After they passed the top Of the pier
and got beyond the SHALL space Of
river bank on which the pier was set,
there was nothing between them and
the water, now mOOnlit and quivering,
except these crOss-girders of steel on
either hand beyond the planking in the
tracks.

formed of several plates Of steel riv-
eted together. These webs were con-
nected across their upper and lower
edges by diagonal latticing made Of
steel angle bars. C-10-R and its parallel
companion member, C10-L, in the left
hand truss, carried the entire weight
Of the cantilcver span to the shoe rest
ing on the pier. These members were
sixty feet long and five feet wide. The
webs were over four feet deep and in
size and responsibility the great struts
were the most important of the whole
structure.
To say that C-1O-R was out of line
meant that it had buckled, or bent, or
was springing, and had departed from
that rigid rectangularity and parallel
ism which was absolutely necessary to
maintain the stability and immobility
Of the truss and the strength Of the
bridge. To the theorist nothing on
earth could be more terribly por
tentous than such statement,
if it were, true. To the prac-
tical man, who, to do him justice, had
never dealt with such vast structures
and he was not singular in that be-
cause the bridge was unique on ac-
count Of it's size-the detection noted
meant little or nothing
"Good God!" exclaimed Meade,
aflame on the instant with anxious ap-
prehension. The night was warm and
he was dressed in his pajamas and had
been lying on the bed. AS if he had
been shocked into action he sat up, for
getful Of his weakness. "Defectionw
he fairly shouted at Abbott, who re-
garded him with half-amused astonish-
ment, "a Gambler in C-1O-R? Why
didn't you tell me?"
BY this time Meade had got his feet
into his slippers and was standing
erect.
"1t isn't enough to make any differ
ence," answered Abbott quickly, per
haps little disdainfully.
ut makes all the difference ON
earth," cried Meade. "It means the
ruin Of the bridge"
He reached for his jacket, hanging
at the foot Of the bed, and dragged it
on him.
Don't worry about 1t, youngster."
said Abbott rather contemptuously, al
though he meant to be soothing. "I'm
going to jack it into line and-here,"
he cried as Meade bolted out of the
door, you'd better not excite yourself
that way. Come back to bed, man.

In spite of herself the woman looked
at him.
"But now?" she whispered as he hes

the man. "The fact is have thought
of nothing but you since saw you
but now We'll have to go back Or"
II shall not go back" she answered
firmly.
He stepped down off the platform
and before she knew what he would be
at, he lifted her straight up in his
arms. He did not carry her like a
baby, he held her erect, crushed
against his breast, and before she had
time to utter protest, or even to say
a word, he started through the dusty
roadway toward the bridgehead.
It was strange position. She knew
she ought to protest, but the words
would not come. Whilst she was try
Ing to think them up, they had crossed
the little desert that intervened be-
tween the portal of the bridge and the
end of the platform. Then he set her
down gently.
'Thank you," she said simply, "that
was very nice Of you. You are Won
derfully strong"
The moon, by this time, had passed
the floor level and the cross-bracing
cast a network of shadows over them,
upon track and floor beams and string
ers. The silence of the half-light, the
mystery of it all oppressed them q
little. 1t was with beating hearts that
they pressed on.

Three days after the departure Of
the Illingworth party the young en-
gineer fell ill with follicular tOnsilitis,
which is about the meanest small thing
that can lay strong man low. He
fretted over his enforced absence from
the work and in the end had to pay for
that very fretting, for he got up too
soon and went out too quickly, and was
promptly forced to bed again as a con-
sequence of his impatience.

her slightly, though he still held her
closely and she was quite content.
"Tm quite calm now," he began,
''that is, am as composed as any man
could be who is holding you in his
arms. But if it had not been for me,
you would never have been in danger.
1t was my fault. 1 should have made
sure. I shall never forgive myself"
"But if l had not been in danger I
might not now be here in your arms.
And if I were not here" she went on
swiftly, too happy in her love to be
mindful Of anything else, 81 certainly
would not be doing-this."
