Captain Scraggs was so touched at
this delicate little tribute that he
turned away and burst into tears.

said sMcGuffey consolingly. "You
amt got nothin' to cry about. You're
rich man. Look at me. / amt
a-bawlin', am I? And / don't get so
much as bean out Of this mix-up,
all on account of me bein' tied up
with lot Of hounds that quits fight
in before they're half licked"
That's So" said Captain Scraggs,
wiping his eyes with his grimy fists.
II declare you're out In the cold, Nc
Guffey, and it amt right. Glib, my
boy, us three has had some stirrin'
times together and we've had our diff
ferences, but 1 amt a-goin' to think
of them past griefs. The sight o. you,
single-handed, meetin' and annihilatin'
the pride of the Mexican navy, calm
in tn moment o. despair, generous In
victory and delicate as blazes to a
fallen shipmate, goin' to work an
namin' your vessel after him that way,
is somethin' that wipes away all sor-
rer and Yields friendship that's
bound to endoor till death us do part.
If McGuffeyd been on our side. we
know from past performances that
he'd fit like tiger, wouldn't you,
Macf" (Here Mr.. McGuffey coughed
slightly, as much as to say that he
would have fought like fen tigers had
he only been given the opportunity
Captain Scraggs continued: 81 should
say that a fair valuation of this
schooner as she stands Is ten thousand
dollars. That belongs to Glib. Now
I'm willin' to chuck five thousand dol
lars into the deal, well form close
corporation and as a compliment to
McGuffey, elect him chief engineer In
his own ship and give him, say, a
quarter interest In our layout, as a
little testimonial to an old friend, tried
and true"
"Scraggsy." said Mr.. Gibney, "your
fin. We've fought, but we'll let that
go. We wipe the slate clean and start
in all over again on the Maggie III,
and I'm free to state, without fear Of
contradiction, that In the last embrog-
lilo you showed up like four aces and
king with the entire company stand
in pat. Scraggsy, you're hero, and
what you propose proves that you're
considerable Of singed cat-better'n
you look. Well go freebootin' down
on the Gold coast. There's war, red
war, breakin' loose down there. and
We'll shy in our horseshoe with the
strongest side and pry loose fortune
somewhere. I'm for life Of wild ad-
venture, and now that we've got the
ship and the funds and the crew, let's
go to 1t. There's deal Of fine liquor
In the wardroom, and / suggest that
we nominate Phineas Scraggs, late
master Of the battleship Maggie, now
second In command of the Maggie ii,
to brew a kettle o. hot grog to cele-
brate our victory. Mac-Scraggsy-

They shook and as Captain Gibney's
eye wandered aloft, First Mate Scraggs
and Chief Engineer McGuffey looked

Second the notion" replied Nc
Guffey.

ceeded to heat some water.
Anything furtherf' stated the pres
ldent.
"How about uniforms?" This from
Captain Scraggs.
"We1l leave that to Glib" suggested
McGuffey. Hes been I'm the Colombo

"Well, there's another thing that's

Scraggs. IF I'm to be navigatin' off,

Once more McGuffey stood up. "Gen.
tlemen and brothers Of the syndicate"
he began, "I'm satisfied that the back,

ousies and general cussedness that
characterized our lives on the old
Maggie will not be duplicated on the
Maggie ii. Them vicious days Is gone
forever. I hope. an from now on the
motto of us three should be:
"AIl for one and one for all
United We stand, divided We fall"
This earnest little speech, which
came straight from the honest McGuf-
fey's heart, brought the tears to the
commodore's eyes. Under the inspira-
ton Of McGuffey's unselfish words the
glasses were refilled and all three
pledged their friendship anew. As for,
Captain Scraggs, he was naturally OF
a cold and selfish disposition. and Nc
Guffey's toast appealed more to his
brain than to his heart. Had he known
what was to happen to him In the
days to come and what that simple
little motto was to mean In his par.

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in. healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss Of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm,
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation SEND ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer 4 Co., 3inghamton, N. Y, for Q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

Praised as Fearless Airmen.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In connection with the dep1orable
accident to the u 9. A. Roma. it may
be of interest to know that at least
two OF the officers who cost their
lives, Capt. Frederick j. Durrschmidt
and First Lieut.. Wallace c. Burns,
served their country valiantly in France.
Capt. Durrschmidt, with Lieut..
Burns and Lieut.. John r. Hall, also
killed in the Roma. was until a short
time ago stationed at Fort Omaha
balloon field. along with the writer.
Capt. Durrscnmidt, an as observer in
an observation balloon during an i'm
portant offensive in France was at
tackled by German planes, which shot
his balloon down. causing it to burst
into flames while at an altitude of
several thousand feet. The captain
succeeded in getting clear of the rap
idly falling and burning balloon by
a quick jump in a parachute and eff
fected a safe landing.
The service has lost in Capt.
Durrschmidt an officer of marked
ability and of indomitable courage.
while Lieuts. Burns and Hall were
men of the same type, skillful and
fearless. and credit to the flag they
served SO well.
