CHAPTER l

Out upon the sheen of the mighty
river the pine-torch flames fell In
ripping streams, and the full moon,
peeping over the tall timber, made
mouths at herself in the wrinkled
mirror of flood. On the steamboat
Leona the negro deck-hands were
chanting the buoyant anthem of the
June rise. In the gilt, enameled sa-
loon, a sweet-stringed waltz, centuries
removed from the melodic below Of
the black bucks below, swelled out
upon q breeze that seemed eager to
mingle with it. while sentiment smiled
and gallantry bowed in the studied
graces OF a floating ballroom on the
Mississippi. All ceremony was precise
with the inherited observance of pre-.
cedent, save when some hair-greased
and less refined dandy of the woods,
having fingered too long at the bar,
let liquor fly to his heels to cut re
bellious pigeon-wing.
The boundless ranch of the West
was unknown, and along the lower
Mississippi lay the great plantations
Of America. Except for the toll of the
slaves, industrial life had been only
sort Of happy Incidence; but society
held many thrilling charm, and with
its libraries from Europe, intellectual
life INDUCED the luxury of ceremoni-
Gus romanticlsm. This atmosphere
was still breathed on the big Missis-
sippi steamboats,, for fantasies which
render poetic the condition Of us all
inger on the water after having been
driven from the land
In the ballroom of the Leona the
dress of the men and the women was
yariegated with the odd ends Of diff
ferent periods of style. Old chests
hidden during the Civil war, only
few years past, had been opened to
give up the family scented tufts and
gourd-howered vests of Andrew Jack

shirt poured gallantry's extravagant
figures of speech upon the graceful
young dame arrayed in the silk that

Will find this stirring romance worked
out in the most charming way in
"Perlwinkle House." by Opie Read.
No man in the United States has
written as many stories as Opie Read,
and no author has had a larger num-
Der of readers. He was born in a
small town In Tennessee in 1852, fol-
lowed newspaper work for awhile in
Kentucky, and then moved to Little
Rock. Ark, where he edited the Ar
kansas Gazette from 1873 to 1881. He
was next on the staff of the Cleveland
(O) Leader and then returned to Lit
tie Rock, where he established the
Arkansaw Traveller, a humorous paper
which attracted the attention of the
entire English-speaking world. Mr..
Read furnished most of the material
that went into the publication. He
conducted 1t from 1888 to 1891 and then
moved to Chicago, where he has since
resided, engaged in literary work.
1t Is doubtful If Opie Read himself
could recall the titles of all the books
he has written, without referring to a
list. One or more of them Is in nearly
every home where fiction is INDUCED
In throughout the land They form
conspicuous part of the fiction section
of every public library, and are car
ried In stock by every enterprisng
book dealer. During late years he has
been less prolific, due to the fact that
he has not had the leisure for writing,
for he has becorie one of the most
sought after lecturers, and his time is
practically filed with Chautauqua Ly-
ceum and special platform engage
ments In this work he has covered
practically the entire nation and has
visited some sections several times,
for there always is a demand for
his return.

DANGER SIGNALS
Of INDIGESTION
, The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning

Beware Of indigestion-the dis
ease that kills more people and
kills them quicker than any other.
This warning. by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of
the year, when your system 'lets
down" in tone sad vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that ma
ture gives YOU of the approach of
Indigestion? The medical books tell
us: /. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of di-
costing. g A feeling Of fullness or
oppression in the region of the stom-
ach after eating. This means that
the gas has ballooned your stom-
ach and is pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 3. A dull, lazy
feeling, which means that you are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. A. Restlessness,
undressing sleep, which means
that the poisons of Indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
5. Sometimes, pain and fluttering
around the heart, though this symp-
tom may come later.
Don't take chances with indiges-
tion-you are too apt to lose. If you
have had any of the symptoms men
toned above, get your digestive
organs to work at once with Dan
Max, the greatest prescription that
was ever written for a digestive
tonic. Dan-Nax immediately aids and

i've organs, including the stomach,
