HER STIDE---AND HIS
Hanging On
-ny zoE BEccKLEx

There are times when all the logic. all the philosophy. all the determina- tion, all the humor even-and humor will carry one through almost any thing-avail nothing. The spirit seems 10 fail, the will to crumble.
 Such a moment came to Cora Temple as she finished reading the brief but momentous letter from Wanda Lau- renee saying she was coming to New York just to hear David's speech at the great rally of the citizens party, which hoped to elect him to high of fee.
 The long period of anxiety regard ing Davids welfare, the strain of
 mixing" with the awful Rourkes and Donnelys, the break with them, the scandal mongering into which their re- venge had crystallized, the sudden vim dication from Carter Brett and how David's overworl< and threatened breakdown-all these had weakened Cora's powers of resistance.
 And now. once more. Wanda Lau- renee must come into ethe situationl Literally bereft of speech, Cora stood looking at her husband as he sat fev- erishly working on his address for the evening meeting. He stopped writing. A slight muscular contraction of his throat and a slow mounting of color to his face and forehead were the only signs of emotion Cora could see With an effort David turned. Wanda Lau- rence?" It was more an exclamation than question. "Why-why-but never mind-leave me now, Cora, please. dear, must positively get this thing done before noon. No matter what happens or doesn't happen, I'm going to make good on that speech to- nightr'
 Without a word, for she could not have spoken had her life hung upon 1t, Cora left the room. She stumbled dazedly into her own bedroom, locked the door and stood pressing her cold hands to her burning face. With all a. fine woma9s courage she tried to control herself and her feelings, but everything slipped away from her.

TN THE FRACTURES SANDOUT
By .. s. RYALL

Robert W. Chambers, with dainty Anita Stewart In the title role, made It's ap- pearance.
 Then the destruction dealing instru- ments of war were set upon the quiet vil- lage streets filled With players In the French peasant costumes. Airships, too dropped their deadly missiles upon the scene, which had demanded the com bined efforts of all the workmen at the large Vitagraph studios.
 In other words, the village was built for the sole purpose of destroying 1t. The houses are seen falling to the grounu as so much debris, while panic-stricken peasant fly to and fro, completely dazed by the invasion which has come as 5oit from clear sky.
 The various household articles are dragged from the houses and form barricade about the fountain to repel the oncoming foe. But still the shells find their destination, and one after another the quaint buildings fall to the ground, often burning, and thus adding greater devastation to the already narrowing scene.
 S. Rankin Drew, who directed The Girl Philippa' for the Vitagraph company spared no effort to wreck the village even as completely as a war-crazed foe would wreck 1t, and thus the realism or the war scenes lend more than sufficient atmosphere to the picturesque drama of the story.

Bill Hart Here in
 "The Gun Fighter"

William <. Hart is at the Triangle to- day in The Gun Fighter another of his famous and much-liked bad men roles. The Gun Fighter is a stirring drama of the west and contains more powerful situations than has any other recent Hart
 vehicle. It is an exciting tale of an Ari-
 zona outlaw, cold and stern. who has won
 his place and power by the killing of mo- torious border gun bullies. It recites the adventures of this killer as he is called
 by every one south of the Gila mountains,
 and El Salvador, a bandit who holds sway farther south The situations that occur throughout the action of this story
 are tensely exciting, and peIvnit Hart the
 full expression of his genius in roles of this character.

Soldier Boys to Be Given a Welcome Home" on Re-
 turn From the Border

Preparations to give the Boys of the Batteries a rousing welcome home on their return from the border are held up pending definite information as to their entraining at Arizona for Birmingham and the date of their arrival here. Yes terday President Charles DeBardeleben of the Chamber of Commerce sent tel egram to Congressman George Huddles- ton. asking for definite information from the war department as to the time when the two batteries of Alabama field ar- tillery will be sent home and whether they will be mustered out here or ct Montgomery. This telegram was sent on account of so many conflicting current reports as to these matters.
 In the meantime President DeBarde- leben has laid plans to give the boys a royal welcome in the event of their ar rival here. and yesterday named the fol- lowing committee to take charge of the affair: Col. Tom 0. Smith, chairman; Gen. Louis V. Clark, Col. W. H. Kettig, Col. W. B. Fowlkes, Maj. Lucien Brown and Capt. Crawford Johnson.
 It is understood that the band of the Alabama Boys Industrial school and Nappfs band have been tentavely re- tained and will take part in the exer- cises when the "boys come marching home The details of the reception will be announced by the committee later.

FLOORWALKER FOR b|G DEPARTMENT
 STORE TEST|F|ES T Know Now Why So Many People Are Praising
 Tanlac," He Says

T don't believe there's a medicine in the world that will make you feel as well and strong all over as Tanlac does. At least if there is one, have never found it," said H. B. Coker, the popular floor walker at D. B. Loveman's big depart ment store in Chattanooga, Tenn. g few days ago.
 T have been in general bad health for sometime" continued MT. Coker. T was all rundown and didn't have enough energy to walk from one end of the store to another and suffered terribly with my stomach. couldn't digest even the lightest kinds of foods and most every thing tried to eat just lay on my stom- ach like lump of hot lead and gas would form and cause me to suffer so I just felt like giving up. I began to get weaker every day and went down in weight from 160 to 139 poundss and just had to force myself to go to the store every morning.
 T had read so much about Tanlac and knew of so many people who had been benefited by it when nothing else seemed to do them any good that I decided to try 1t myself, and now, after taking four bottles, I am as well and happy as ever was in my life. now weigh 15s pounds--an actual gain of 19 pounds-and my appetite is so fine that eat almost anything in sight and nothing hurts md in the slightest, My general health has improved wonderfully and just feel like a new man all over. I am full of energy all day and get the old time pleasure out of my work and I've found out why 1t is so many people indorse Tanlac and am glad to add my name to that list"
 Tanlac is sold exclusively In Birming- ham by Eugene Jacobs drug store and by the Patton-Pope Drug company; tn Ensley by D. w.
