You seldom find any old-fashioned fellow longing for an old-fashioned winter. The trouble as usual about the beau tiful snow is that it will not stay that way. As eggs come down, bacon goes up.

The auto trade should equip' the public with shock absorbers if it in tends to keep on cutting prices. Arousing public opinion in behalf of the open door policy is a hard thing to do until the weather gets warmer. Insurance companies want to in crease rates for theft.

Never worries about armies and nav ies. Relies on her strongest weapon —cheese. The reason so many women marry before they reach the age of twenty- five is that it takes so long to reach that age. An opera singer says that no woman Is worth loving until she is thirty. Maybe not; but how is one to tell when she is thirty? Another convicted man has turned to the Bible. The trouble is that so many of them wait until after con viction to turn. It is discovered that American shoes are cheaper abroad than at home. They have to be, or they couldn’t buy them over there. Women have been driving men out of coal mines, but we haven’t heard of the ladies preventing me'n from working in diamond mines.

Every agriculturist feels that he has a fortune in prospect if he can only get the mortgage paid off the old place and turn it into golf links.

Still, a good many communists swore by that faith as long as it appeared possible to get anything out of it. They were communists for revenue only.

Pretty Dorothy Gordon pressed her pretty face against the window pane and looked through the gusts of rain and sleet to the swollen river some little distance beyond the house. It was a wild night. The river had risen steadily since morning and now spread in the distance, a rain-swept, ugly, moody luke whose farther shore was lost in the darkness of the early twilight. The river bade fulr to be up to the house by midnight. Dorothy shivered slightly ns she gazed at this dismal scene. She was worried—not about herself, for a mo tor boat riding at ease on the rising waters near the house gave her a sure means of escape, but because of Howard Freeman, her sweetheart, who was Immured in an office building in the other side of the river. Some noments ago Howard had telephoned that the building was surrounded by wuter and that he was leaving by a rowboat. Dorothy had pleaded with him to let her come for him in the motorboat but he had refused. Per haps now, at this very moment, he was getting into the rowboat. Of course there was no danger, but the current in the center of the stream was swift, the river was filled with floating logs and debris. Would he be able to win the shore in his fragile boat without trouble? To Dorothy, who had lived there by the river all her life, the flood was a normal occurrence. Every year the river overflowed its banks—not as ex tensively as this present flood, of course, but enough to familiarize those people who lived near the stream with the characteristics of flood time. So Dorothy did not fear the flood so far as she herself was concerned. It was only because of Howard’s unfamiliar- ity with flood conditions, owing to the recentness of his arrival in the city, that she was worried. That and anofher thing which kept beuting at the back of Dorothy’s mind and which she resolutely tried to keep from her were the causes of her wor ries. Of the two worries, this thing at the back of her mind was much the great er. Despite her efforts to keep it down it rose up and frightened her. She tapped restlessly on the window pane with the tips of her fingers as she con tinued gazing out at the flood. What should she do? Howard’s message had been explicit—she should remain where she was and not come out to him. He would be angry if she ventured out into the flood arid storm to come to him. There had been no question about the sincerity with which he had said this. And yet—Dorothy came to a sudden resolution. She swung back into the dimly lighted room. "I’m going out in the boat,” she cried to her stepmother, the only other occupant of the house, who was sway ing agitntedly back and forth in a rocking chair near the center table. "I wouldn’t,” was the reply. “It’s dangerous.” “Dad will be here any minute now in the other motor boat," said Doro thy. “I’ve got to go, that’s all. I can’t stand it any longer.” The rain lashed at Dbrothy and a chill wind buffeted her as she raced from the house toward the boat. Her feet sank into the soft earth as she ran, slowing her speed considerably. Now that she had come to this deci sion und was actually launched on the thing she had been longing to do all afternoon, she was afire with eager ness. She wanted to get to Howard just as quickly as she possibly could. Fortunately the launch started at once. Dorothy heaved up the anchor which had moored the boat close to the house in a little bayou made by the advancing waters, and switching on the searchlight, started up stream against the swift current for the office building a mile away where Howard worked. Darkness had come by now, swift and dense. The searchlight cutting through the night disclosed a steady- downpour and a rushing mass of branches, tree trunks and junk of one kind and another. It was slow work beating up against the current. Every now and then Dor othy gave a swift turn to the wheel to escape a rushing log. Once or twice the boat quivered under the im pact of some heavy object, whose on rush was unavoidable. Would she never reach the office building? Suddenly, as the boat veered to one side in response to Dorothy’s efforts to escape a tree trunk, she gasped. There, coming swiftly down the stream some thirty feet ,to Dorothy’s right, was a rowboat. No oars were visible. At the rear of the boat, hold- ng his coat in the water and trying to guide the boat in this fashion, was Howard 1 And crouched in the front of the boat was a woman! Dorothy’s heart skipped a beat or two at this sight. It was this woman who had been the strongest of Doro thy’s two worries. She knew who the woman was—an Alice Wispert, How ard’s stenographer, her rival for How ard’s affections! “Oars lost!” came Howard’s voice on the wind, suddenly and oddly cut off as the wind shifted. Again Dorothy’s boat veered. On the instant the rowboat and its occu pants were lost in the gloom. Where were they now? Holding the boat steady on its course with her left hand, Dorothy shifted the searchlight with her right, looking for the rowboat. On the instant came a grinding crash, a womnn’s shriek, a man’s loud voice. Terror caught at Dorothy’s heart. She shifted the searchlight quickly up and down the swollen stream There, already past her, down the stream by a hundred yards the row boat burst into view In the blaze from Dorothy’s searchlight. It was low in the water. Both Howard and Alice were standing up. The sound of an agonized shriek came to Dorothy. Then, quite suddenly, the boat sank and the two people sank with it into the river. Fairly sobbing in her excitement and anxiety, Dorothy spun the steer ing wheel around. The boat answered at once, crashing and pushing its way through the debris in a wide arc. Could she get to Howard and the girl in time? * As the boat straightened out with the down-strenm Current it fairly shot ahead. Away in the distance the searchlight disclosed the bobbing heads of Howard and the girl. Alice was to the left, Howard to the right. They were both about the same dis ftance from the boat. It seemed ages to Dorothy, but it was really only a moment or so until she was between the two. As she came to this point she swung her senrchlight to the left disclosing Alice hanging to a log some twenty feet from the boat. Again Dorothy swung the steering wheel. The boat staggered a bit from the impact of logs and debris, then chugged up to Alice’s side. But what was Alice doing? As Dorothy watched in utter amaze ment she saw Alice, with an evil look on her face, pushing the log she was holding straight toward the boat’s pro peller. In an instant it would mesh with the machine. The rear end of the boat would be pounded out! Dorothy always hud been suspicious of Alice. Now she saw in an instant what was in Alice’s mind. Alice—a splendid swimmer—wanted to wreck the boat. She knew Dorothy couldn’t swim in a current like this. In this way she might eliminate Dorothy and be sure of Howard for herself! Dorothy gasped. For a moment ter ror held her so firmly in its grip that she could do nothing. Nearer and nearer Alice pushed the log toward the propeller. In a moment the girl’s diabolical endeavor would be accomplished. On the instant, though. Dorothy came to life with n rush. She fairly leaped from the steering wheel toward the engine. In a mad frenzy of ex citement she dashed at the electric switch. Even as she shut off the en gine there was a series of crashing thuds at the rear of the boat. These sounds then stopped abruptly. She had been in time. Leaning over the side of the boat, j Dorothy found Alice swimming weakly there. Minus the aid of the log, it was evidently a strain for her to keep afloat. For one mad moment. Dorothy thought of pushing Alice off into the river to fight alone, and perhaps lose out. Then in a rush her better nature triumphed. She leaned over and helped Alice into the boat. The latter came submissively enough. Dorothy started the engine again. To her joy the boat showed leeway, though ominous jolts and kicks came from the rear. She started the searchlight again, beating up and down the river, looking for Howard. There he was, hanging to a log near by, blood streaking his face from a wound in his forehead. Together the. two girls helped him into the boat. Howard sank wearily into the bot tom of the boat. He gazed up at Dorothy with eyes in which a great love was glowing. “I saw it all,” said Howard, weakly. “You’re wonderful. Dorothy.” He sank exhausted to the floor. A great joy welled up in Dorothy’s heart. She looked rather pityingly at Alice, cowering pathetically in the far corner of the boat. Never again would Dorothy have to worry nbout this other woman. And with her heart overflowing with thankfulness Dorothy stooped and pressed a kiss on Howard’s lips. A GOOD TONIC FOR OLD PEOPLE Glide’s Pepto - Mangan Restores Strength and Prevents Illness.

The longest tunnel on any railway in the United Kingdom is the Severn tunnel, the wonderful engineering feat that carries the Great Western rail way under the River Severn. It Is four and a half miles in length. But how many people are aware that when traveling through it they have not merely a river above them, but also, one beneath? asks London An swers. When the original contractor was engaged in the tremendous task of constructing the tunnel the workings were suddenly flooded out by a mighty rush of water that burst in. So grent was the inrush that operations were suspended for months and the most powerful pumps did not lower the water one inch. Eventually the contractor resigned and the G. W. R. took the task in hand themselves. Then their engineers dis covered that it was not the Severn that had broken in, as had been sup posed, but a mighty underground stream beneath the river had been tapped. A gigantic culvert beneath the rails now carries off this flow and sufficient water to supply the city of Bristol Is pumped out each day, werf It drinkable. ARGO-PHOSPHATE THE !
