was silent.

Miss Maggie drew herself away.

Omaha Man Writes
of Hun Onslaught

Experiences IN Paris during the
great German offensive are wildly
described in a letter received by
Helen Rohlfson OF Omaha from her
brother, Robert, who is in the postal
service in Paris. His letter ran in
part:
II have had the experience OF see
ing what the effects Of a really great
offensive are. When the Germans
came forward toward Paris. the
refugees by the thousands came to
al the railroad stations, some OF
them the most pitiful looking beings,
to be taken care OF by the different
charitable institutions, the French
government, and more especially the
American Red Cross and the Ameri-
can Y. NJ. c. A. 1t is hard to de-
scribe some OF the sights one sees
at such times. Some carry their few
belongings in a handkerchief or a
little bag. Whole families. old and
young, are looking for protection
and safety. These sights were seen
some little while ago. as you recall.
Now we see the reverse. The same
people are on their way back 10
what remains OF their former homes,
but in a different spirit, such a feel
ing OF joy that they are returning.

CHAPTER XIII. :.
Observation-Disclosures and
Otherwise,


Miss Maggie was still sitting in
the big chair with her face in her
hands when the door opened and
Mr.. Smith came in. He was very
white.
Miss Maggie, dropping her hands
and staring up at his entrance,
caught a glimpse Of his face in the
mirror in front OF her. With fur
tive, angry dab of her fingers at her
wet eyes, she fell to rearranging the
vases and photographs on the
mantel.
"Oh, back again, Mr.. Smith," she
greeted him, with studied uncon-
Germ.
Mr.. Smith shut the door and ad-
vanced determinedly.
Miss Maggie, I've got to face this
thing out. of course. Even if | had
made a botch of things at the very
start, it didn't help to run away as |
did. And ! was a coward to do it.
1t was only because IL But
never mind that. I'm coming now
straight to the point. Miss Maggie.
will you-marry me"
The photograph in Miss Maggie's
hand fell face down on the shelf.
Miss Maggie's fingers caught the
edge OF the mantel in a conclusive
grip. A swift glance in the mirror
before her disclosed Mr.. Smiths face
just over her shoulder. earnest,
pleading, and still very white. She
dropped her gaze, and turned half
away. She did not want to meet Mr..
Smiths eyes just then. She tried to
speak, but only a half-choking little
breath came.
Then Mr.. Smith spoke again.
Miss Maggie. please don't say
no, yet. Let me-explain--about
how | came here, and let me tell you
how-how | love you--how ! have
loved you all these long months. |
think | loved you from the first time
| saw you. Whatever comes, ! want
you to know that. And if you could
care for me a little--just a little,
I'm sure | could make it more-in
time, so you would marry me. And
we would be so happy! Don't you
believe I'd make you happy-dear"
"Yes, oh, yes," murmured Miss
Maggie. still with her head turned
away.
Good Then all you've got to say
is that you'll let me try. And we
will be happy, dear! Why, until |
came here to this little house I
didn't know what living, real living,
was. And | have been. just as you
said, a selfish old thing"
Miss Maggie, with a start of sur
prise faced the image in the mir
ror; but Mr.. Smith was looking at

tGVKTHOO-OOPl o-oop!
w Whoo-oopp' howled the

tEIKTHOO-OOPl Whoo-o
w Whoo-oop" howled the
dancing Indians, while from circle
of squaws in the background came a
wailing song, accompanied by the
beat of the tom-toms.
Peggy felt her heart thump loud
ly. The picture before her eyes was
more thrilling than any movie she
had ever seen. The blazing FIRE, the
painted red men whirling around it,
the droning squaws, the shadows
grotesquely frolicking on the walls
of the rocky basin-the sight was
enough to send the blood racing
faster through her veins.
One big warrior in particular held
her fascinated eyes. He was tall and
apparently very powerful, for he
swung around his head huge Ak in
stead of the usual Indian tomahawk.
He crouched very low as he stamped
the ground viciously with his feet,
then threw his head back as he let
out his wolf-like howl.
AS the savages circled around and
around they made motions as il
scalping unhappy captives. 1t would
be horrible to fall into the power of
such cruel band.
Are they really on the warpath?"
whispered Peggy to Billy Belgium.
"Sh-h-h-h Listenw he answere :.
The dance had ended and the
braves had seated themselves around
the FIRE. The big Indian with the
ak remained standing. He looked
very terrible in his eagle feathers
and painted face. He folded his arms
and remained silent a moment as
the song of the squaws died away
and the throb OF the tom-toms
ceased. Then he began to speak
slowly and impressively.
Brothers of the wilderness, bark
to the voice OF Chief Many Cowsr
he said. The hour of our freedom
is here. Too long have we been
the slaves OF Pale Face ways. To-
night we throw all that aside! To-
night we become again the children
of the forest. worthy sons of the
noble red men who roamed these
hills in days of old, hunting the
deer and the bear, and tomahawk-
ing tie invading Pale Faces. Whoo-
oop! Whoo-oopl I'm a wild Indian
And with that Chief Many Cows
whirled his ak around his head and
let it fly at big tree far back in the
shadows. The ak struck with a re-
sounding whang, the blade sinking
deep into the tree. Peggy gasped
with surprise. and the Indians NUT
tered their admiration. Chief Manv

HE looks like Fred Snow, the vii

gium. Peggy shook her head To

man. This was a genuine savage
Her opinion grew stronger as Chief

Hookworm in the Army.

A report of the surgeon general of the army states that in two regiments recruited from two gulf states, hook worm infection WAS found to the cX- tent of 54 per cent in one command and 70 per cent in the other. IL is significant that both regiments showed m unusually large mortality due to measles and to lung and bronchial troubles. Measles occurred two and a half times as frequently in men with hookworm as in those free from it.. Measles patients suffering from hook worm were twice as likely to fall vic tins to pneumonia and kindred dis eases.-Scientific American.

Acid -St0nlach Makes ilIions Weak and

For years dentists have been telling us that it's acid mouth that ruins the teeth yet this acid that is powerful enough to eat through the harder than bone enamel of the teeth and decay them, is tastcless. Its presence can be detected only by chemical tests.
 No chemical lest is needed t0 tell you that you have acid stomach.
 Indigestion, belching. heartburn, sour stomach. food repeating. that miserable puffed up feeling after eating intestinal pains, headaches. etc. These are all Natures warning to you. They are sure signs Of superacdity.
 Acid-stomach prevents proper diges ton and assimilation, thus causing the blood to become thin and impoverished as result of which people become sal low-sknned, emaelated. sick and bad looking.
