The ineltmv lights tif lii* iMR.px thrust

Itogors . >« V. timer h.-iil ihe j>». :ul
car gliding nlot g the rivpj- road tuwurd
his country piece. Ills mind Mas at
peaoe with the world; he ir.r-w that
his honsckei-tiitr had vv.iiiing for him
a plea sunt hinch, and he was leaving
behind the din and confusion In which
he spent his city business days.
Arotind a curve the great car swept,
and the golden lights swung a hit
aside.
With a sudden start and shook War
ner saw something white rise and fail
like a ghost In I lie side of the. road.
It looked like something human and at
tlie same time more like a ghost. In
decision was fatal, for the car did not
waver with its master’s hesitation.
Setting the brakes with quick Im
pulse. Warner felt the car slide on
looked wheels along the damp road.
Me looked bnok, but dusk and silence
was behind him.
He hesitated. “There’s something
spooky here or I’m a nut. myself. I
didn’t hit anyone, but I saw something
In white fall—or I was dreaming," he
muttered to himself.
He took the flashlight, from Its case
and walked hack along the road, lie
had gone farther than he Intended, but
his eye caught a glimpse of something
white. A chill shock going through
him, he hurried on, the flashlight
pointing ahead. The light picked up
and held In Its bright gaze the figure
of a girl.
With a cry, Warner stopped; the cry
took the force of astounded words: “A
girl—and In her nlghtrohel”
Controlling himself with an effort,
he turned her head. The dark, un
bound hair rolled down. She was un
eonsclous. Her arms were hare. The
nightgown was torn and muddy.
“Great heavens 1 What Is she doing
hero?” he muttered to himself; and
then, gathering his dazed faculties, he
ran hack to the car and came back
with a robe. He gathered the warm,
’ Saw Something White Arise,
soft form into the robe, and Inking the
slim burden In his arms, went swiftly
to the ear.
Placing her in the deep cushion of
the front sent mid supporting her, lie
sent the fast oar whispering down the
road.
Her head lay warm and fragrant
against his own. Never In all his un
eventful* days had a fair head been ns
near his; but the thought was a mo
ment’s thought. Life or death—both
might be in his keeping.
Down the road, up the long slope
that taxed many a car, his went with
out pause, lie swung up the roadway
to his house; and the horn snarled
steadily with meaning into the night.
At the entrance a light gleamed. Some
one had essed something was wrong.
The white, wavy hair of his house
keeper showed In the light. In answer
to her anxious query, he said swift
ly: “I’ve a girl here—may Have hit
her—see what you can do for her!”
Into one of the guest rooms he car
ried her, and then tore to the telephone ;
and Siam the w ire was bringing back
the cool voice of his personal physi
cian saying he would be there as fast
as gap could bring him.
Warner rushed upstairs, to find that
motherly hands, working with assur
ance, had done their duty. The girl
lay still and white In the bed. her
brown hair gathered over her thin hut
beautiful face —unconscious still.
Suddenly, as the housekeeper bathed
her white brow, the girl’s eyes opened,
dark and luminous. I'ear came Into
them —sharp and shining. “Let me go
—don’t keep tne! I’m afraid!”
Warner pressed her back. "You are
safe and In kind hands.”
Her eyes followed Ids. and she sank
back under ids quiet ones. She
watched him unwinklnciy as he w ~..
on to soothe her. She drank the warm
drink that Mrs. Hession gave her. and
said nothing as the ministrations went
on.
A horn growled outside, and a min
ute later the gray kindly face of his
physician, Stetson, appeared at the
door. In a few words Warner made
plain the situation, and then went
downstairs, ,
It seemed hours to him before the
doctor came down, and In explanation
said in his brief way; “All clear. Her
name Is Lilian Mills. Stic was brought
down to the hospital from her moun
tain horhe; homesick and frightened
to death, she made her escape from
the hospital and you picked tier up.
She’s an uneducated, wild girl of the
mountains. I telephoned Carr at the
hospital, and be said they had been
searching for her everywhere hut in
the right direction. She Is In bad
shape—probably appendicitis. I would
recommend— ’’
"Let me do If. I want her to stay
here, and I want you and the best you
can gel, Stet, to look after her,” War
ner said quietly.
Stetson nodded, his gray face serene.
“I'll see what can be done."
Nurses came and specialists, and a
week went before Warner saw her
again. It was a meeting that left him
with a memory of dark, questioning
eyes, and a face at peace. As she
grew stronger under the highly skilled
care, he saw more of her. Her eyes
lost their wild look and rested upon
him tenderly—a glance that, thrilled
him. Once permitted to talk, her low,
sweet voice thanking him was the last
magic to work upon him. lie faced
the Issue finally frankly; he was fall
ing in love with the wild mountain
girl. Then her father carnc, a crude,
rough mountaineer, shy and restless
among them. Warner talked with him
long, and when the rougti figure de
parted understanding, as between men
who are men, was reached.
Warner sought her immediately.
Against the white pillow of the in
valid’s chair, she looked like some wild
rose just unfolding.
"I want you to stay here,” he said
smiling, and she smiled buck in her
sin pie understanding way ; and then
he went on: “I want you to stay al
ways—your father Is willing—as my
wife I”
She stiffened as with shock; then
turning her head to his glance, her
eyes dark with tears, she answered
him ns simply in her quaint mountain
speech: “I love you—you know that;
hut ttflnk of me- —of what I am! This
beautiful home- and me!"
His heart was thumping—what If he
lost her! “Listen, my little mountain
thrush; we can teach you all, and the
years arc long. I want you here with
me! Don’t fly away! Two months
have gone Won’t you stay for the
years?” .
The long dark lashes drotqied over
her eyes for n moment. She nodded,
and lifted her lips, with shy wonder,
question and hesitation, hut in the end
willingly and bravely to his first kiss.
COLUMBUS HAD MOTLEY CREW
Pirates and Criminals Among the Men
Who Sailed With the Discoverer
of America.
Charles \V. Moores iri ills "The
Story of Christopher Columbus.” says:
"The 52 sailors of the Santa Marla,
Columbus’ flagship, wore ns strange a
crew as ever crossed an unknown sen.
There were some good citizens at
I’alos among them, interested on ac
count of their attachment to Ihe I’in
zon brothers; but, for the most part,
they were a motley company, gath
ered from the neighboring towns, from
the prisons of Spain and from lands
far away —honest sailors, pirates, ad
venturers, convicts —men of all sorts.
“It is worth remembering that two
whose fate it was never to return,
spoke the Knglisli language. These
were Arthur Laws, an Englishman,
and William Harris of Ireland. Among
them were a number of Jews, who. by
the edict of the Spanish crown, had
been banished for religion’s sake. He
sUles sailors, men useful In many
trades and calling accompanied the ad
miral—a soldier or two, an assa.ver of
precious metals, a lawyer, a tailor, a
physician, a barber, a number of cabin
hoys, a body servant to wait on the
admiral, and an Interpreter who knew
German, Greek, Latin, Arabic and He
brew, and who accompanied the ad
miral that the royal Spanish greetings
might he properly translated to the
princes and rulers of the undiscovered
countries toward which they were far
ing.”
The Good Must Win.
The positive in our mixtures, which
is the good, or that which was con
templated in the original plan. Is ever
aggressive and progressive, hut by its
aggressiveness it develops or excites a
negative condition, which strives to
Interfere with progression. In the
normal man this develops strength. In
creases activity and leads to new meth
ods and improved means of accom
plishing good results. Have you over
known a Hart cause to win out in the
end? Have you ever known a false
doctrine to secure a fixed foundation?
Have you ever known the gixst to he
finally swallowed by the bad? Such
things are impossible. For a time the
good and the trite may seem to he
swallowed up by the false and the
had. hut this is no more a fact than
that tlie darkness swallows up and
vanquishes the light of the sun.—
Erasmus Wilson.

SOUR STOMACH
INDIGESTION
ThcdfortTs Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer lor Troubles Re-,
suiting from Torpid
Liver.
East Nashville, Tenn.— The effic
iency of Thedford’s Blank-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, la
vouched lor by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer of this city. “It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don’t believe I could get along without
it. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
“I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recomfeend it
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. It will do all it
claims to do. I can’t say enough for
It."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black-
Draught just as Mr Parsons describes
—valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
TUcdforc's Black-Draught liver medl
slfio is the original and only genuine.
