In len Minutes the Hoard of Muni
tions May Send Me Off With
the Ghost.
IT required but the touch of a fin
• ger to set off the hoard of muni
tions in the loft of the adobe store
house, nevertheless it took all the
force I could nut into my thin white
hand to turn on the current. As soon
as the deed was accomplished, I came
out of my delirium. It was as if the
will power fthich had carried my sick
body on its. awful mission had at last
cleared my troubled brain.
I came out of my delirium to find
myself saying, “In ten minutes—”
and I was astonished to find myself
standing at the door of the haunted
room. However, it did not astonish
me to see the ghostly figure of a wom
an moving slowly through the moon
lit spaces of the place.
1 trembled with weakness, I shiv
ered with the cold of a bright De
cember night as I clung to the hand
rail of the outside stairway and
watched the willowy, white form of
the murdered wife glide toward a
window.
“Delirious or sane, I’m not to be
deceived a second time by the same
old ghost,” I said to myself. “In
ten minutes, this building will blow
up, and that poor ghost is going to
be robbed of a habitation,” I added.
“In ten minutes— ’’
And then I realized for the first

- time that unless I got away from that
doomed building at once, I, Jane
Lorimer, would be—in ten minutes
- —even as that white deceiving shade!
I clutched at the hand rail and
- tried to descend the stairs which I
' i had lately climbed so swiftly’. But
■ : my muscles were as soft as those of
i |an infant and my body collapsed in
_■ a heap on the steps.
“In ten minutes, I will know all
: that that poor wondering ghost
t ■ knows,” I thought, but I was quite
! unafraid of the prospect.
I What would happen to me after
’ the horrible roar of the explosion?
: Where would I be?
I Far—very far—from my dear hus-
i band!
That thought hurt me, and rous-
• ed me. Bob would miss me. Bob
would need me. I tried to call his
• i name but not a sound left my lips. ■
I Though I hadn't the strength to
| speak, my hearing had grown acute.
; Listening for the explosion, I caught
' I the hurry of running feet on the
pavement of the patio. I hoped—l
i prayed that nobody was coming near
1 the doomed building, but I couldn’t
■ even whisper a warning.
Half of the ten minutes was gone,
I felt sure. I opened my eyes and i
looked up at a glorious star which I
i hung in the zenith.
“This is a queer place for a nice, j
conventional, much adored, proper- i

Ily cared for, and perfectly respect
| able girl to die, isn’t it?” I asked
the star. But 1 didn't want sympa
: thy. I didn't feel sorry for myself
■ as a young girl about to die is sup
' posed to feel. I grieved for Bob’s
grief for me!
As death came closer, second by
. second, 1 thought of the thousands
and thousands of soldiers who had
died in the war—alone—and un
noticed except by the cold stars
above them. They had been loved
and tended by devoted women, in
their time, but at the end they had
gone out, unwatched, even as 1 was
so soon to do. And they hadn’t
been afraid! 1 could tell from my
own feelings! They had been sorry
for the loving women they left be
hind to grieve, just as I was sorry
for my husband.
The echoing steps came nearer. I
tried to cry* out a warning. “Stay
away! Stay away!” I wanted to
shriek, but my lips were stiff and
refused to shape the words. I clutch

gusting belching, food-repeating,
bloated, gassy stomach, dyspepsia, heart
burn and otherstomacb miseries. They are all
I caused by Acid-Stomach from which about
nine people out of ten suffer in one way or
another. One writes as follows: "Before I
used EATONIC. I could not eat a bite with
out belching it right up, sour and bitter. I
have not had a bit of trouble since the
first tablet." ‘ •
Millions are victims of Acid-Stomach with
out knowing it. They are weak and ailing,
have poor digestion, bodies Improperly nour

i disorders are likely to follow if an acid
stomach is neglected. Cirrhosis of the liver,
intestinal congestion, gastritis,catarrh of the
stomach—these are only a few of the many
ailments often caused by Acid-Stomach.
A sufferer from Catarrh of the Stomach of
11 years' standing writes: "I had catarrh of
the stomach for 11 long years and I never
found anything to do me any good —just
temporary relief—until I used EATONIC. It
is a wonderful remedy and I do not want to
be without it.”
