 The doctor struggled to his feet. Say. Harris, you're friend O mine. but don't take too many liberties, see? s no use tryin' without 1t. lush give me that bottle now, or I'll get out an go home."
 Harris was so pleased at the signs of returning coherence that he could have hugged the doctor, but he only said, You've had enough for tonight. And you won't get out because if you try to I'll knock you senseless in the bottom of the sleigh"
 After that the doctor remained si- lent for some time. Then suddenly he demanded: "Shay. Harris. where you .akin' me to, anyway
 I'm taking you to my home."
 "Wha' for? You're all right, I guess '" Suddenly the doctor stood erect.
 Harris, is your wife sick?'
 That's why came for you"
 "Well. why the devil didn't you say so? Here, give me that whip. liar ris, Harris, what did you waste time arguing for?"
 "l didn't waste much. The argu- ment was mostly on your side"
 Harris" said the doctor, after long silence, you think I'm a fool. You're right. It isn't as though didn't know. know the road I'm go- ing, and the end thereof. [" '" And yet, In a pinch, I can pull myself together. I'm all right now. But it'll get me again as soon as this Is over. Any good l am, any good do, Is just bit of salvage out of the wreck. The wreck-yes, it's a good word that wreck"
 
 Just as the dawn was breaking he knelt beside her. Her eyes were very large and quiet, and her face was white and still. But she raised one pale hand, and the thin fingers fondled fin his hair. She drew his face very gently down. and big silent tears stood in his eyes.

It was not dreadfulIy cold. but the sky seemed only a vast turmoil of snow. Darkness came down very ear ly, but at last Harris began to rccog- nize familiar landmarks close by the trail. and just as night was settling in he drew into the partial shelter of the bench on the bank of the coulee. The horses pulled on their reins per sistently for the stable, but Harris forced them up to the house.

 Suddenly thought came 10 him. He rushed outside. to find that the horses. of their own accord. had taken shelter beside the stable. Here from the wagon he drew little bundle and hurried back to the house.
 She was sitting where he left her, shivering slightly and watching the play of the light as it hickered up and down the wall. He tore the package open and spread its contents before her.

pleasant motor trip to Lakeland and

had lunch. They stopped for about
an hour In DeLand and for an hour or
two in Daytona with friends, reaching
st. Augustine about $50 o'clock p

considering the fact that several stop
overs were made. Mr.. Pickard re-
ports the road through Flagler coun-

where the brick highway paving was

THE WOMEN SHOULD QUALIFY

From every part OF the State comes
the same story, that the women are
Indifferent to the privilege Of the bal.
lot and that only a very limited mum
Der are registering. This bears out
the contention this paper has always
maintained that Southern women
have not desired the ballot. How.
ever, now that this condition has been
foisted upon us by the North and
West, our women should not evade
the responsibility which has been
placed upon them, but rather should
accept 1t as duty they owe to the
State and to humanity, to vote intel
ligently and for the public good. Par
ticularly is there need now for the
votes of those to whom the idea oil
voting has heretofore been unattrac-
tive--these are among the best, gen
tlest and most womenly of women
II these hold aloof from the polls and
allow the voting privilege to be large
ly monopolized by women of lower in,
tellectual or moral standards, their
suffrage will be an unmixed evil. The
good women are needed to Offset the
work of INSCRIPTIONS politicians who
are trying to qualify any and all sorts
for their own selfish ends. Women
need not get out and do any spectac.
ular political stunts, but every woman
should quietly and intelligently study
TIE political situation, local and ma.
tional, and vote for the candidates
and measures that seem to be fol
the best interests of the public--learp.
ing as their first lesson in politics
however, that the candidate whC
promises most and loudest is Otter
the very one they should avoid as
poison. We have never been overly
enthusiastic about woman suffrage

 At present 1t is understood that Denmark is not buying coal from any source, since she has enough in hand for the time being, and the rate of ex- change is adverse.
 Some Danish coal dealers say that the quality of American coal has been so good as to compensate for the higher freight rates as compared to coal imported from Great Britain, but that this quality of late has fallen off.
 Recently Denmark has supplemented her imports from America by bring ing coal from China for use on the Danish railways. The price of Chinese coal is said to be considerably less than either American or British.
