CHAPTER Tx
In No. 4 Ward

She was lying so still-so very
still when David Bretherton followed
the nurse down the ward-that for a
moment his heart seemed to stop
beating as he bent over the narrow
bed, with its painfully even folded
clothes, and looked at her white
face.
Mary" z He spoke her name
through the unbearabIe silence, but
it fell on deaf ears.
The nurse looked at him plying
ly.
"She cannot hear you-she has
not been conscious ever since they
brought her in"
She smoothed a little GREASE in the
coarse sheet.
David was conscious of a sort of
angry Impotence; her calmness got
on his nerves. How could one bother
about a crease in a sheet when death
was lowering round the bed? What
did anything matter if Mary were
dying?

WASHINGTON, May 27.-If Presi-

The men who obtain these new

Of more than seven members. Dur
ing this initial period a membership
of twenty-eight is provided for in or

disputed tax assessments which have
been piling up during the past five
years may be settled.
After the original twenty-eight
members have served their terms.
the regular board is to consist of
seven members, two of whom shall
serve four years, two for six years,
two for eight years and one for zen
years. Subsequent appOintees are

do anything to save her?'
They have done all they can"
From his quiet voice nobody would
have guessed how he had been suf-
fering. Miss Varney looked at him
wonderingly.
Much as she had loved David. she
had never understood him. Would
he really feel it so very terribly, she
asked heself, if Mary died?
They had been waiting in a little
private room. Presently some one
tapped at the door. and entered. Il

She looked at David.
He caught his breath hard in his
throat. His face was colorless as he
strobe from the room, followed by
Miss Varney.
He asked no questions. He told
himself that he knew what had
happened. Mary was dead. and the
whole sunshine of the world was
blotted out forever.
1t seemed but flying second

would tell him Of her own free will;
believing that some day she would
come to him and make a full con-

Missouri Lady Says She Was Miserable With Constipation And Sick Headaches Until
 She Used Black Drausht

Forbes, Mo. -"I have used Black Draught, when needed, for the past twenty-five years," recently said Mrs. Emma Grimes, who lives in, Green Valley Farm" near here, "and it has given perfect satisfaction.
 q began taking it for bad case of constipation. I would get constipated and feel just miserable - sluggish, tired, with bad taste in my mouth. didn't feel like doing anything and soon my head would begin hurting and l would have severe sick headache.
 q don't know who started me to taking Black-Draught, but it did the work. It just seemed to cleanse the liver. Very soon l felt like new. When I found Black-Draught so easy to take and easy acting, began using it in time and would not have sick headaches
 "I can recommend Black -Draught very highly for liver trouble, head ache or constipation"
 Constipation leads to a great deal of sickness among those who neglect to treat it without delay. The poisons which constipation forces your blood to re-absorb may cause great pain and much danger to your general health.
 Keep Thedford's Black -Draught in the house and use it promptly for re- lief at the first sign of constipation.

SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
tsrATE CAPITOL BUREAU

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. -12.- Representative Frank Embry, of St. Clair county, battle-scarred veteran of many a conflict with the republicans in the bloody seventh" congressional district, was visitor to the state cap ital today, being called from his na- tive heath by cases pending before the higher courts here.
 Representative Embry belongs to the type of fighting democrat which IS nur- tured among the mountain counties or Alabama. Over most of the state, the republican party is known merely as the organization which furnishes the opposing candidate in presidential cleo tions. Not so with the Seventh" This district occupies a position in Alabama political history as interesting and pie turesque as that held by the highlands of Scotland in British history. AS the Gaels of Scotland retreated to their mountains when pressed by the invad- CTS, so the republicans, when swept out of the lowlands in Alabama, the Black belt, ,wiregrass and Tennessee valley, decades ago by the rising tide of de- mocracy, took refuge in the mountains fastnesses of the bloody seventh, and continued the fight there.
 The struggle to dislodge them from their mountain stronghold, which at times becomes almost struggle for ex- istence on the part of their enemies who inhabit the bloody salient, has pro- duced a hardy race of war-like demo- crats who expend their surplus energy S. .~lxA tLo cf growing soft from inactiOn of fighting one another, as is the case with demo- crats of some other sections of Ala bama. Instead of being opposed by the republicans only once every four years in the presidential campaign, the democrats of the seventh must engage in daily warfare for his very exist ence to keep the men who assess his taxes, build his county roads, and ar rest the moonshiners of his county from being selected by a bitterly hostile party. ;
 Representative Embry attracted at tention in the last legislature with a bill which had for its avOwed purpose the legislating out of office of repub- ican tax assessors and collectors in the counties where they are in power, and which came close to being enacted into law. Another bill of his. which was out of the realm of politics, provided for the legalizing of certain fish traps in the Coosa river in St. Clair county, some of these traps had been in use since before the civil war, it is stated, and fishermen of St. Clair were serene ly enjoying life until it was discovered that their traps were in violation of the state law. Representative Embry secured the passage of a local bill which legalized the traps, and the fishermen on the Coosa now operate without fear of being swooped down upon by agents of the game and fish department.
 Fishing is one of our favorite pas- times, next to fighting republicans" remarked Representative Embry when discussing outdoor sports in St. Clair county. .
 Fighting the republicans is no pas time with us, it is business" remarked y. E. St. John, of Cullman, another visitor to the capital city, who has like wise given much of his youth in making the hill country of north Alabama safe for democracy. r.
