16 Randall turned and rode along the bank to the iron bridge. When his horse’s feet struck the floor, Amelia cried aloud that the dreadful war of the water deafened her, and fell life less in the arms of Mary Brownlee. With no shadow of apprehension, Randall rode on until the middle of the bridge was reached; then, with no visible cause and without an instant’s warning the structure collapsed and he was hurled into the furious current below. Two hours elapsed before the horrified witnesses of the tragedy re covered his body. Years have gone by and the wooden bridge is still standing and echoing to the tread of passing footsteps, while in a quiet corner of God’s Acre, Ran dall and Amelia are sleeping side by side, victims of a presentiment that caused the very calamity of which it seemed to be a warning. ALICE I. CALHOUN. • Jefferson, Ala. OUT OF THE DEPTHS. (Continued from Page 3.) “Well, I’ll make it as short as pos sible; this good woman —Mrs. Ransome is her name —secured a position for me where I worked for a year, being pro moted twice for efficiency. Then, after consulting Mrs. Ransome, I wrote my wife —I had learned that she haj not NEARLY SMOTHERED. Chandler, S. C. —Mrs. Augusta Lo max, of this place, writes: “I had smothering spells every day, so bad that I expected death at any time. I could not sit up in bed. I suffered from womanly troubles. My nerves were unstrung. I had almost given up all hope of ever being better. I tr’ed Card’u, and it did me more good than anything I had ever taken. I am better now than I ever expected to be.” Thousands of ladies have written similar letters, telling of the merits of Cardui.

The temptation was terrible, and if it hadn’t been for Mrs. Ransome’s words of encouragement and hope for the fu ture, I would have drifted back to the broad highway, sure. My wife inform ed me that after the misery I had brought into her life, she could not trust herself and baby to my keeping again. “Two days later I informed Mrs. Ransome that I could not live in New York any longer, and had accepted a position with a large company having sugar plantations in Cuba. Dear old lady! I can still see the lines of anx iety and care that wrinkled her brow as she bade me good-bye at the gang way, and made me promise to write her every week. ■' ‘Remember, my boy,’ said she, ‘that w’hatever others may think of you, I have faith in you and your future; may God bless you and keep you in the narrow path.’ “Cheered by her confidence in me, I went to work with a will in the land of my adoption; my life has been clean, and I have prospered. I have written Mrs. Ransome regularly, and her letters of encouragement have been more to me than you can ever know.” He paused, and sat silent. Around us was the usual hustle and activity attendant on approaching port. I wanted to say something but hardly knew what to say. Finally, I re marked: “And now, after five years, you are going back to see this dear old lady who has done so much for you ’’ His gaze went far out to sea. His eyes were moist. His lips trembled almost imperceptibly. “Yes,” he said at last. “A week ago she wrote asking me to come to see her, as she had a pleasant sur prise for me; and —and enclosed in The Golden Age for May 1, 1913 her letter was a note from my girl— the baby I have never seen —saying, ‘Your baby girl wants to see you, daddy.’ Say, Bell,” he swallowed hard at his Adam’s apple, “do you think that the —surprise is—that my wife will —” His emotions choked his ut terance. “God bless you, I hope so.” I repli ed. “You deserve it! Whatever crimes you have committed you have paid the penalty, and deserve to be happy. I feel sure your wife will make no mistake in trusting her fu ture to your keeping. May God bless you both.” He turned, and looked shoreward. While we had been talking the ship had crept up almost to the quaran tine station. “Why, we’re almost in!” he exclaim ed. rising. “I must get my things to gether.” Excusing himself, he left me As I was leaving the ship I saw him again. He was on the gang-way just ahead of me. As he reached the dock he paused anj looked around him. Out of the crowd came two women and a girl. The elder woman —her hair silver-white —reached him first. Placing her hands on his shoul ders she kissed him; then taking his hand( she, reached for the hand of her companion—a sweet-faced woman of about thirty-five—ana placed them together. For the space of a second they looked into each other’s eyes, then, opening his arms, he folded her to his breast. As I turned away I heard the girl say: “Daddy, aren’t you going to kiss your baby girl?” "OHIO” TOOLS o Best for Home and Shop Use * 1 k ‘Ohio” Tools enable the man around the house to do 'SZ efficient, neat repairing and require less sharpening 11 , r add care to keep them in order than most tools obtainable ■ OKrWv Mechanics and shop owners find them in the long run the most IlHgHf economical tools by far, for constant use. “Ohio” Tools are H , “ ade throughout by skilled workmen, treated and tempered by the KB most improved methods.

Frank Baker, a Notary Public in and for said State and county, personally appeared Mrs. Emma Yates, who being duly sworn, deposes and says that on or about the Ist of March, 1911, she called upon Dr. J , of Nauvoo, a practicing physician, for treat- ment for a disease known as pellagra. She used his treatment two months without benefit and was told she could not live. She then went to Dr. S , of Nauvoo, but he refused to treat her, saying she could not be cured. After these doctors failed she went to G. P. Baughn on or about December 1, 1911, and after taking Baughn’s Pel lagra Remedy for one week began to improve. She used his remedy for about four months, then she was entirely cured and in good health. (Signed) EMMA YATES. Sworn to and subscribed before me the 19th day of February, 1913. J. FRANK BAKER, N. P.
