GETTING engaged
The sheriff felt that he was star
ing at an apparition. Sally l.ac
taken her stand beside the Wreck.
Why hadn’t she kept out of it?
thought the Wreck.
“Sally Morgan!” The sheirff’t
voice was unsteady.
“Certainly,” said Sally.
Bob Wells took a step forward,
reached for her, hestitated.

glared at the Wreck.

Again he turned to the Wrecn.
“If you ve kept her a prisoner,”

“What do you mean by chasing

Bob Wells stared.
“You heard me. I said chasing
me. Do you thing I’m a criminal?”
The sheriff was dazed.

“Yes, you were. You pursued

J. T. Bragg, chief of police, 705
Hancock St., gave the following
statement June 16th, 1914: "Some
times, after being on my feet a
great deal 1 had a dull aching across
piy back. At times the kindey se

But the sheriff was recovering
poise. He was a num whose rights
had been trifled with. His bewild

merit.
“What kind of a position does it
leave 'ou in?” he demanded.
Sally rested her hand on the
Wreck’s arm and regarded Bob
Wells with a blistering stare'.
“An you’ri engaged to me,
paid the’ sheriff, with a grim final
ity.
“Am I?” Sally was holding her
self steady.
“Well, aren’t you?”
“I think you’ve said sq several
times, Bob Wells.”
The sheriff was becoming un
easy again.
“Haven't I a right to an exp’.a

a dull red. “We just happened to

“Meals—and cooks. That’s what
you think about and tttlk about the
most, Bob Wells. I never realized
it until 1 listened at the crack of

The Wreck listened with a queer
intermingling of triumph and dis

“Yes,” affirmed Sally.

“Eesy on that!” cautioned the
Wreck.
“Why, back at Underwood’s they
told me they had a 1 tarried couple

“That was simuly Henry’s idea
to cover a situation,” remarked
Sally, in a composed voice.
The Wreck stood glaring.
“Wait till you old man gets the

“When Dad gets it he’ll get it
all,” declared Sally. “What’s more,
he’ll believe it, too. And if he
wants to know if I’m engaged to

Signal, Miss.—“For a year or longer
I had indigestion, and had it bad,”
says Mrs. E. S. Holman, of this place.
“Everything I ate hurt me. I would
have burning in my stomach and
smothering spells, and after meals feel
right dizzy. My head would begin to
uche, and I would want to lie down,
but felt I couldn’t for I would smother.
“Unless one has had such trouble,
they don’t know what it is. I was
talking to a neighbor one day and told
her how I had been affected. She
told me it was indigestion and to try
Black-Draught, which I did. 1 took a
few large doses and then a pinch after
meals, and for fully four months now
I haven’t had indigestion. I eat what
ever I please and when I please, but
keep up the Black-Draught—just an
occasional dose.”
When you have a feeling of discom
fort after meals, try the suggestion
above. Thousands of people have
found that Black-Draught promotes
relief in indigestion by stimulating the
liver and stomach to perform their
normal functions.
