THE INDIAN DRUM
By eg,illian, MacHzrs Edsvin Balner

1.-The steamer Number % rammed
proved to have been the Benton" he
told her. "The men are all from her.
They had abandoned her In the small
boats, and the Solwerk picked them
up before the ferry found her."
He was not asking her to congratu-
late him upon the relief he felt; he
had not so far forgotten himself as
that. But 1t was plain to her that he
was congratulating himself; 1t had
been fear that he was feeling before
fear, she was beginning to understand,
that those on the ferry had been saved.
Horror and amazement flowed In up
on her with her realization Of this In
the man she had promised to marry.
heH body tense; then, as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger office, he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing to urge
himself upon her in their presence.
"Pm willing to go home now, mother,
If you wish," she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were in the car, Constance
leaned back, closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish to talk
with her.
Toward three o'clock, the Office
called her, but only to report that they
had heard from Mr.. Sheriff.. He had
wired that he was going on from Man
istique and would cross the straits from
st. Ignace messages from him were to
be addressed to Petoskey. There was
no other report except that vessels
were still continuing the search for
survivors, because the Indian Drum,
which had been beating, wis beating
"short," causing the superstitious to
be certain that, though some of the
men from Number % were lost, some
yet survived.
Constance thrilled as she heard
that. She did not believe in the Drum ;
at least she had never thoughe she
had really believed in 1t; she had only
stirred to the idea of its being true
But If the Drum was beating, she was
glad 1t was beating short. 1t was
serving, at least, to- keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood at
the window. gazing out at the snow
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
| out of sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out Of
the storm and stop before the house.
She waited in the room where she
was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see; or rather,
| If she could rust her feeling at sight
of him, 1t had lessened only slightly,
and at the same time his power to
resist 1t had been lessening too.

nie," he said. $50 came straight out.
The Richardson's picked up one Of
the boats Of the ferry"
"Uncle Benny and Alan Conrad
were no. in It," she returned; the trI-
umph she had seen In him had told
her that.
"No; 1t was the first boat put off by
the ferry with the passengers and
cabin maid and some injured men Of
the crew."
"Were they alive?" her voice
hushed tensely.
"Yes; that is, they were able to re-
vive them all; bu. 1t didn't seem pos
sible to the Richardson's officers that

EVA ALDRIcH, 2l8 Union St., Emporia,
Kansas.
There are many women who first used
our Vegetable Compound during their
girlhood days. They found it valuable
help during trying periods. In later
years they use it whenever they feel
those annoying symptoms which women
often have.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is woman's medicine. 1t is pre-
pared carefully from the best quality Of
medicinal plants, whose properties are
especially adapted to correct the troubles
women have.

The universally OF the acquIsitive

Each cubicle contains trny on which

tened; as the voice stopped, his great,
finely-shaped head sank between his
shoulders; he fumbled in his pocket
for cigar, and his big hands shook
as he lighted 1t, without word Of ex-
cuse to her. A strange feeling came to
her that he felt what he dreaded ap-
preaching and was no longer conscious
of her presence.
She heard footsteps in the larger
room coming toward the Office door.
Henry was in suspense. A rap came
at the door. He whitened, and wet his
lips.
"Come in," he summoned.
One of the office girls entered, bring
Ing white page of paper with three
or four lines of purple typewriting up
on 1t which Constance recognized must
be transcript of message just re-
ceived
She started forward at sight Of 1t,
forgetting everything else; but he took
the paper as though he did not know
she was there. He merely held It un-
til the girl had gone out; even then
he stood folding and unfolding 1t, and
his eyes did not drop to the sheet.
The girl had said nothing at all but,
having seen her, Constance was
athrill the girl had not been bearer
of bad news, that was sure; she
brought some sort of good news Con-
stance, certain Of 1t. moved nearer to
Henry to read what he held. He looked
down and read.
"What is 1t, Henry?"
His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her.
rs :35 a. m. Manitowoc, Wis.," she
read. "The schooner Anna S. Solwerk
has been sighted making for this port.
She Is not close enough for communi-
cation, but two llfeboats, additional to
her own, can be plainly made out. 1t

up survivors of No. 25. She carries
no wireless, so Is unable to report.
Tugs are going to her."
1.-TWO lifeboatsw Constance cried.
"That could mean that they all are
saved or nearly all; doesn't 1t, Hen
ry; doesn't it?'
He had read some other Significance
in it, she thought, or, from his greater
understanding of conditions in the
storm, he had been able to hold no
bope from what had been reported.
| That was the only way she could ex-
plain to herself as he replied to her (;
that the word meant to him that men
were saved and that therefore 1t was

her at once. When 1t came now, II

Paris workmep engaged In carry
ing put street improvements In the
Boulevard st. Marcel, near the Jardia
des Plantes. have apparently IN.
earthed vestiges OF a cemetery dating
from the M~erovingian period, on tha
site of a portion of what was much
later known as the collegiate burial
ground of st. Marcel. SO far five
stone collins have beer discovered, to.
gether with a large number of bones.
The discoveries tend to prove that
during the M~erovingian period only
the more important dead received the
honor of burial In coffins of any kind.
In one of the collins brought to light
a small quantity of coal is said to
have been found. which indicates that
the deceased person was one OF the
great ones of his time. The purpose
of purifying the SOU Of the departed
is supposed to have been reserved ex'
clusively to leaders of the community.

Climate Of London.

The outer walls Of the houses Of
parliament In London are crumblinG.
Hundreds Of carved images, mostly 81
imaginary royal figures, have been I'M
able to Withstand the ravages OF the
weather, combined with the smoke
laden London atmosphere. They suffer
alsc from the lack Of respect shown
them by hundreds of pigeons which
roost On the scepter and sharpen their
oeaks on the noses of kings.
Scarcely q day passes but a mon

ployed, at a cost of $4,000, picking of
the loose bits. Thus may one man In

Sir John Gilmour, who represents
abe government department that looks
after public buildings, is Of the opinion
that none OF the kings or other distin-
Inished folk will be allowed to stick

The Patriotic Spirit.

Animated by this spirit the par
tisan is enlarged into patriot. Before
it the lines of party sink into hazy
%obscurity; and the horizon which
bounds our view reaches on every side
to the uttermost verge Of the great
Republic. 1t is a spirit that exalts
humanity, and imbued with 1t the
souls of men soar into the pure air
Of ~unselfish devotion to the public
welfare. 1t lighted with a smile the
cheek of Curtius as he rode into the
gulf; it guided the hand of Aristides
as he sadly wrot upon the shell the
sentence OF his own Punishment; 1t
dwelt in the frozen earthworks of Val
ley Forge and from time to time 1t
has been an inmate of the halls of

Daniel Webster Hsfvss1 = Oe Beth
cred Over Comparatively Paltry
Questions Of Finance.

In A. B. FarQuahar's The First
Million the Hardest" he enthusiastically
points out that the senate has greatly
improved in business integrity since
Daniel Webster's day, when senator's
could not be expected to bother about
paying their bills. Mr.. Farquahar was
once talking with Mr.. Corcoran co.
the Corcoran art gallery fame) in HIS
bank at Washington. Daniel Webster
had just beer in to borrow money
and had asked the cashier to discount
his note for 500. The bank did not
discount notes that were not indorsed,
so Webster went out and brought in
a note for 5000, Endorsed by another
senator with whom he had promised
to divide the profits. Mr.. Corcoran
remarked that the only value Of the
note WAS as a curiosity. 1t was never
paid. and the Riggs bank still has it.
Daniel Webster was very careless
about all of his personal affairs" says
Mr.. Farquahar. "He was said to be
scrupulous about paying his gambling
debts, but he did not bother with little
bills. He often thought 1t quite enough
to give q creditor a copy of his sig
nature without b~othering to honor the
promise to pay on 1t.

ne-proenna Your RaIncoat-

Whatever the time Of year, one
needs a reliable ~raincoat in the coun-
try, but unless Of a rubbered variety,
many raincoats quickly lose their rain
proof qualities, and are useless for
the purpose they were intended to
ali. Here is a method of re-waterproof-
ing cloth that will be found quite sue
cessful and easily carried out at home.
Take one and a quarter pounds OF
alum and dissolve this in five gal
Ions of boiling water. In another bath
dissolve one and a quarter pounds Of
sugar Of lead. Then mix the two solu-
lions.
Place the coat in the mixture and
make sure that 1t is saturated with
the liquor. Without wringing, put
the coat in a hanger and dry, plunge
into cold water and then hang out to
dry again. This time it will be fit for
use, and will withstand ordinary rain.

he wrote a poem, Darby and JOAN"

Modern poetry has its own genius,
however, and we need not weigh it
against that of another age as we de-

observation, it's conquest of new
themes, its perpetual rediscovery OF
simple things and of their effect on
the consciousness.-Robert Lynd.
