Friday, March s, 1912.
The above was written by Mr.. Bar
ger at my request at the time OF my
25th anniversary connection with The
Herald and News and published in the
issue of March 8, 1912. Mr.. Barger
continued with me until his health be-
came such that he could no longer
work. l am glad that I was able to
keep him On the weekly pay roll up
until the Saturday before his death
even though the weekly payments
we're not large J. am sure they were
appreciated by him. l am reprinting
the article because l am sure it will
be read with interest by many who
may not now remember the article as
published at the tine.
Even in the short space CT six years
there are many changes in the town
and no doubt some Of the places ne
mentions will not be recognized by
many of the readers today. The store
then occupied by Blaustein is the
COPELAND Bros. corner. The Mower
corner is now W, Haltiwanger. Pei
h05n's drug store is now the Newbercy
Drug company.
Hosea Barger was faithful ana
loval workman. He was never sWl1t
but he was reliable and faithful,
which is worth more than to be
record maker. You could always de-
pend On him and what he had to 90
was always done we'll and you could
feel satisfied that he would do it.
He was with me from March T.
1887. to the time Of his death, with
the exception of few months.
He was sick for several months, but
I not confined 10 mis- bed except for a
couple of weeks.
He passed quietly out at ABOUT D
o'clock on Friday afternoon and We
buried his body at Rosemont Satur'
dav afternoon at o'clock. The fu-
neral service was conducted by the
Revs. F. E. Bibble and Edw. Fulen-
wider. Three or four of his old com
! rades of the Confederacy attended the
funeral.
Peace to his ashes.

The Battle of the Docoer.

Within the next three days a series
of phenomena occurred which left no
doubt as to the dangers which were
menacing the human race.
Before noon messages began to pour
in from all parts Of the country and
from the fleet. The admiral in com
mand of the home squadron wired that

The Unheeded Warning.

On the evening of the same day
London was stirred by a sensation
which eclipsed even the interest in the
progress of the war. The evening
newspapers contained, in full. Donald's
narration Of the approaching ruin of
the world.
The second sea lord, receiving Don
AIDS name, came to the conclusion that
matters of the most pressing moment
must have brought the unknown young
American naval officer. He rose from
his desk and shook hands with him
cordially. "Sit down, Mr.. Paget," he
said warmly. Then he noticed that
Donald was dressed in a Hondescript
diving suit and that his looks we're de.
cidedly wild.
Donald sat down and plunged in
stantly into the story Of the world
danger. It did not lose its dramatic
interest in the of its telling.
You must stop the war at once"
Donald ended. Unite all nations of
the earth, for that is the only way to
save the human 'race. 1t is a matter
of hours, perhaps. Even now these
monsters may be speeding southwark"
The second sea lord had been unable
to interpOse a word by reason of the
torrent of impassioned speech that
poured from Donald's lips. At first he
listened in amazement at what he On
sidered an impudent hoax; then in
anger; then, after a brief glance at
Donald's face, with absolute passivity.
II thank you, Mr.. Paget," he said,
rising, when Donald had ended. "You
have done notable work, and England
will not forget 1t. And now, sir, you
must be conducted to the prime min
lister ct once, that you may apprise
him Of these startling events"
He touched his bell. and his secre-
tary, a dapper, alert little man, at once
appeared. Excuse me one moment,
please" said the second sea lord to
Donald.
He whispered with the secretary,
whom Donald perceived to glance
toward him in a rather apprehensive
manner The secretary came forward,
making a preposterously low bow.

A Crushed Trauedian of TODAY

II ran across an interesting case Of
the ups and downs Of life the other
day" said L. r. Mccormick to the st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat. "An actor
named Murray who recently played an
engagement in a museum in st. Louis,
once stood high in his profession as a
%tragedian. He was never Il great star,
but he has been associated with the
greatest lei in the profession. At one
time he supported Edwin Forrest, and
afterward played in a piece where he
carried Fanny Kemble from the stage
In his arms. Subsequently, he sup
ported Edwin Booth, and in his time
has enjoyed the respect and fellow
ship Of the greatest actors upon the
stage. He has played in every leading
opera house in the country during his
thirty years upon the stage, and his
name is still well known by the mem.
bers of his profession, who will be sur
prised to learn that he is now touring
the museums of the country"

CHAPTER XlII-continued.

For, like a fury. the queen rushed
at him, and Clouts, at first solicitous
about striking a woman, soon found
himself nard put TO 1t to maintain the

with the use of all the wrestling tricks

"It's all right, marm!" he pleaded.

He was still fighting madly when
suddenly her strength seemed to leave

Five minutes later the little MILDLY,
seated on deck, saw Clouts and Ida,
apparently rearisen from the dead, ap.
proach the F55. Between them he
fancied he say a gossamer form thai
scintillated In the sunlight.
There was a space of only a hundred
