"Souls Adrift"

"Please excuse me, father, | am
vccy tired"
Elma Raybourne made her exit
from the cabin of her fathers yacht
where an alcoholic, very wild party
was in progress. She was different
from the other members Of the par
Indifferent even from her father
who had been crowned by the mer-
ry-makers as "King Alcohol"
On deck Elma drank in the fresh
air, so invigorating after the ci;se
air of the cabin. CHANGING around
she started in surprise and dislnay
as she saw the second engineer COM
ing toward her.
"You," she cried. "You here"
eyes, I'm here" the man re-
sponded.
'I've found you again after all
these bitter years and still love
you"
Everything is over between us
you know thatw exclaimed Elma
81 do not want to see you again"
She hurried to her state room.
While the party was at it's height a
terrific explosion occurred in the en-
CINE room.
The second engineer ran to Elma
caught her up in his arms and with
ner and two sailors escaped in a life |
boat before the yacht sank.
ooh, that it should have been you |
of al men," gasped Elma in dis
nay when her excitement had quiet
ID and she realized her situation.

Facts About the Second
Liberty Loan

Here are some straight from the
SHOULDER and interesting facts
about the bonds of the Second Lii
erty Loan now offered for sale:
l. A LOAN-You lend your mon
ey at interest, you do not give it.
2. EASY PAYMENTS-A few
dollars down buys bond. Bankers
and employers everywhere arrange
payment of balance out of savings
3. SUPERLATIVE SAFETY
The promise to give you your money
back, promise signed by all our
110,O0O,0O0 people, including the
signature of every multimillionaire
in America. Your bond is like a
martgage on the whole United
States.
! q. SAFE MISUNDERSTANDING
safe in any honest bankers vault;
safer anywhere than currency, for
it is plainly receipt for money you
deposited in the Treasury Of the Uni
ted States.
S. TAX FREE-No tax as long
as you live on any purchase not
above $4,000.
6. MARKET VALUE-You can
sell your bond or borrow on it on a
moments notice.
Z. THE GOVERNMENT IS NO.
RICHER than the people. 1t needs
the $50 of the average man. All
patriots must help.
We are about to enter another pa
triotic drive for the sale of Liberty
Bonds. There is little in history Of
which we can be more proud. than
the liberal and patriotic manner
which characterized the first sale of
Liberty Bonds. The rich, near rich,
medium, poor and all came to the
front just as America expected they
would. Now for another together.
The sale is on, and the great drive
will begin October 18th. Now is as
good time to subscribe as any; your
banker will accommodate you byI
carrying your deferred payments.
The first issue of these bonds was
nearly two-fold oversubscribed. The
issue now offered will pay a little
more interest, and will be a little
more attractive as an investment;
but the average American is not CIV
ing this matter the usual investment
characterize is coming to the
front with his dollars 70 help his !
and thinking little of his
interest earnings. St. Mary Par
sh came to the front as usual in the
asst drive, and we have no doubt
bout her record in this new drive;
be ladies' are on the job now, which
leans that. things viii move as US

There Is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood aid mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
