he was so weak and cramped that his
blows We're ineffective.
Peterson was pinned between q
three-inch bar and the machine for the
whole length of his body. The steer
ing wheel was crushed into his chest
and his arm broken in two places. To
add to his misery he became soaked
with kerosene, which blistered his
body. Snow fell throughout the night,
accompanied by a piercing wind, while
coyotes, attracted by the scent. Of
blood, threatened him time and again.
He kept them off by shouting at them,
but more than once gave up hope
when some grew bold enough to snap
at him.
Peterson was under contract to
pillow 100 acres of land and shared the
job with a partner, who Went on a
search for him the next morning when
he failed to put in an appearance.
Numb with cold and pain, he was re-
moved from under the machine and
taken to the hospital. His condition
is critical.

She shook her head slowly. Her
face was serene, yet filled with a re-
mote pain. Beauty was about her eyes,
but something was holding back. Now
the fires in Cons own heart would
not wait, and he said:
II wish I could tell you. 1 have
nothing of my own to offer. except
America, and I can give that to you.
There are books that have been kept
from you. The white blood in your
veins has been carefully Swallowed.
Your heart is American. I marvel
how we'll they have made you forget
that. You long for your w birth
right; that is why you look into the
west, and are filled with a desire you
do not comprehend. I never knew
what my country meant to me until I
got away from it, working under its
orders in faraway places like this.
You are longing for home and your
WI people. Your soul is sick of yell

Silence between them. From the
saddle the princess looked afar over
the yellow earth. The palace walls
were indistinct in the trembling heat.
She seemed lost in a cloud Of dreams.
1t was maddening to Lexington, until
a great light broke within him. She
said simply, without looking at him:
"You are making me unhappy"
Even before the full JOY Of this ut
terance was clear to him. he was up
beside her, %forgetful Of the sentinel,
the sun. the whole world but this. A
honeyed fragrance came to him from
her nearness. The words that burned
his heart stopped in his throat, but his
eyes held hers an instant, and trag-
ically her unhappiness deepened; yet
it made him glad.
Without speaking, she spurred her

loved her, and then rode for the city
gate.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
I had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. l tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall I got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January 1 got
30 bad that what I would eat would sour
and boil; ny teeth would be like chalk.
l suffered terribly. I prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day l read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me a box at the drug store as I was going
to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
t~hree-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it
was used up I had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used five tablets out of the new
box and l have no more stomach trouble.
Now I write to tell you how thankful I
Am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty
Of water, and it never hurts me at all.
