HAD NO HOPE OF
BETURHINB AUVE
Mrs. Cason Left Home for At-
lanta Propped Up on Pillows-
Was Only a Shadow.
ONLY WEIGHED 60 POUNDS
After Taking Tanlac Has Gained
Thirty-five Pounds and Expects
to Return to Home and Hua
band Well and Happy.
"About six weeks ago I left my
Aome on oar farm near Acwortb, 6a.,
to come to my sister's home here In
Atlanta, and I left with only a
shadow of hope of ever returning
alive.
"I lefi Acworth in a comfortable
automobile, propped up on pillows,
coming through the country. I had
almost as much medicine as baggage
—a big box full of all kinds that had
been prescribed for me. I reached
here very weak and with scarcely
enough strength to walk to the door.
This trouble from which I had suf-
fered so long and which I was told
was pellagra, had reduced me to al-
most a shadow, as I only weighed
sixty pounds.
"My brother-in-law, Mr. Battle,
said, 'Well, you have tried everything
else with no relief, now I want you
to lay aside your "drug shop" and
take Tanlac.' Well, he got it for me
and I started on my first bottle that
day.
"When I had taken about half the
first bottle I began to feel stronger
and encouraged. I continued to take
it and it is nothing short of marvel-
ous how I improved day by day. My
appetite returned and my food
seemed to nourish me and agree with
me. My skin and complexion began
clearing and I improved in every way
possible until I am now a well woman,
and when I say well I mean absolutely
what I say. I want to tell the whole
world that I thank God for Tanlac.
"I weigh ninety-five pounds now
and feel as well as I ever felt in my
life. I am going back to my husband
and home on the little farm, five miles
from Acworth, tomorrow, and won't
it be a joyful meeting, returning ab-
solutely well and happy—and won't
I tell everybody about what Tanlac
has done for me."
The above remarkable statement
was made recently by Mrs. O. G.
Cason of Acworth, Ga., while at the
home of her sister, Mrs. J. B. Battle,
English Ave., Atlanta, Ga. I

The teacher had been explaining

explaining about Jefferson Davis.
Later she said :
"Now, boys, what is your idea about
Jefferson Davis?"
There was no reply. Singling#out a
boy, the teacher said:
"Tommy Burns, what do you think?
Do you believe Jefferson Davis was
all right?"
"Well," came from the boy, after a
long silence, "he never did do nuthiD'

TEXAS STATE FEDERATION
OF LABOR CONVENTION
6an Antonio Selected as the Meeting
Place in 1918—Edward Cunning-
ham Re-elected President.
Fort Worth, Tex.—Officers of the
Texas State Federation of Labor were
elected and San Antonio given the
1918 convention at the final session of
the convention Friday.
Edward Cunningham of Bridgeport
was re-elected president of the organ-
ization by acclamation.
Other officers elected by acclama-
tion were as follows: W. J. Morgan,
PI Paso, first vice president; Miss
Myrtle Berry, Dallas, second vice pres-
ident; George H. Slater, Galveston,
secretary-treasurer, re-elected; E. A.
Harrell, Waco, reading clerk, re-elect-
ed, and V. Woods, Fort Worth, ser-
geant at arms.
H. L. Spencer of Houston was elect-
ed as the delegate from the organiza-
tion to the convention of the American
Federation of Labor in Boston next
year.
On account of a clause in the report
of the committee on constitution and
by-laws which recommended that two
additional vice presidents be added to
the organization, the report as a whole
was tabled indefinitely following a
battle royal which was waged all day
long between the minority and major-
ity on this one point.
In the decision as to the city getting
the next convention, the fight w;as the
hottest it has probably ever been. Roll
call of each member had to be gone
through with to determine the city
getting the gathering. When the final
vote was counted San Antonio had 222
votes, Galveston 97 and Beaumont 47.
A motion was made and passed by a
majority vote to increase tfce pay of
the president and legislative chairman
of the organization $49 per month each
and to also allow the secretary-treas-
urer $6.50 per day for expenses on the
road while traveling in the interest of
the federation.
Assembly Indorses Woman Suffrage.
Dallas, Tex.—In resolutions paying
a tribute to the "influence of women
which has been invaluable in moral
reforms," and stating that the Pres-
byterian church "believes in utilizing
every possible force in the new and
larger work lying before this coun-
try," the one hundred and twenty-
ninth general assembly of the Pres-
byterian church in the United States
of America, in the closing hours of its
nine-day session at Dallas Friday went
on record as asserting its "belief in
the justice, wisdom and righteousness
of the immediate enfranchisement of
women throughout the nations."
Dr. Waite Electrocuted.
Ossining, N. Y.—Dr. Arthur Warren
Waite was executed at Sing Sing pris-
on Thursday. Dr. Waite, dentist and
tennis player of repute, was convicted
on June 1, 1916, of poisoning his
wealthy father-in-law, John E. Peck of
Grand Rapids, Mich. The crime is
best explained in the words of the dis-
trict attorney, Edward Swann, who
told the jury: "The cause of this deed
was solely the desire for money. There
were no angry passions involved, no
sex relation, no envy, hatred or mal-
ice; nothing but the purpose of ob-
taining easy money."
Brazil Takes Defensive Measures.
Rio de Jaineiro.—The Brazilian for-
eign minister Saturday presented to
congress a message signed by Presi-
dent Braz, in which it is stated the
sinking of Brazilian merchantmen by
German submarines obliges the gov-
ernment to take measures of defense
against the Teuton U-boats. The uti-
lization, but not confiscation, of Ger-
man vessels interned in Brazilian sea-
ports is suggested.
Men Physically Unfit May Farm.
Washington.—An agricultural army,
composed of those disqualified from
military service, to use public lands
and be advanced money, implements
and seed by the government, was pro-
posed in a bill introduced Friday by
Senator Lewis of Illinois. Half the
crops would go to the government.
French Commission Reach Home.
Paris.—Marshal Joffre and former
Premier Vivian! arrived at Brest Wed-
nesday on their return from the Unit-
ed States. j
TEXAS LINES SHOW INCREASE.
Railroads of State Are in Healthy Con-
dition, According to Auditor's
Report.
Austin, Tex.—According to a state-
ment of earnings of Texas railroads
covering the first nine months of the
current fiscal year, as made by Auditor
W. E. Fitzgerald of the Texas railroad
commission this week, Texas lines
showed healthy increases in all in-
come accounts and promise to break
the high record in gross operating
revenue.
For the nine months ended March
31, 1917, the gross operating revenue
was $104,792,828, an increase of $19,-
193,155, or 22.42 per cent over the
same nine months of the preceding
year. The total operating revenue for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916,
was $113,644,013, or approximately
$9,000,000 more than for the nine
months of4his year. Taking the month-
ly average, the gross operating reve-
nue for the fiscal year ended June 30*
1917, will easily exceed that of the
previous twelve months, and thus es
tablish a high water mark.
The comparisons for the respective
nine months periods for items in re-
sults from operation of Texas lines all
show increases, the exact figures be-
ing as foliows:
Freight revenue, $73,484,826; in-
crease, $13,026,054, or 21.54 per cent
Passenger train revenue, $28,810,-
233; increase, $5,719,245, or 24.77 per
cent.
Other revenue, $2,497,767; increase,
$447,855, or 21.85 per cent.
Total operating expenses, $71,472,-
530; increase, $7,025,105, or 10.90 per
cent.
Income from operation, $33,320,297;
increase, $12,168,050, or 57.53 per cent.
It will be noted that the income from
operation shows what may be termed
a remarkable increase, even though op-
erating expenses advanced nearly 11
per cent
Manufacturers' Sale Tax Cut Out.
Washington.—Proposals for a 5 per
cent tax on manufacturers' gross sales
in many industries and for greatly in-
creased surtaxes on big incomes were
stricken out of the war revenue bill
Saturday by the senate finance com-
mittee, cutting down by many millions
the total revenue provided for as the
measure passed the house.
Red Cross to Raise Fund.
Washington—The greatest campaign
the Red Cross ever has waged design-
ed to raise $100,000,000 to care for
American soldiers who fight democ-
racy's battle and to lend a helping
hand to thousands in the districts al-
ready devastated by the war, was
launched Thursday at a meeting of
representatives of the larger cities of
the country.
Deny Passports to Americans.
Washington.—Emphatic disapproval
of the peace propaganda of European
socialists was expressed -Wednesday
by the American government, which
denied passports to American dele-
gates to the Stockholm conference
and issued a warning that any Ameri-
can taking part in the negotiations
would be legally liable to heavy pun-
ishment.
Vegetables Are Not Scarce.
Washington.—High prices for fruits
and vegetables can not be defended on
the ground of a supply shortage, in
the opinion of the agricultural depart-
ment, which announced Wednesday
that detailed shipping figures show a
shortage of only old potatoes and
strawberries.
Indians Offer to Quit Fighting.
City of Mexico.—A delegation from
the state of Oaxaca, claiming to rep-
resent several thousand Zerrano In-
dians who have been in arms against
the government in that state, arrived
Sunday to ask for terms under whlcb
the Indians can surrender.
Searching for Pink Weevils.
Brownsville, Tex.—Close investiga-
tions are being made by the United
States department of agriculture on
both sides of the lower Rio Grande
for the presence of the pink boll
worm.
Government Makes Another Loan.
Washington.—Another loan of $75,-
000,000 was made to Great Britain Fri-
day by the United States, bringing the
total loaned to that nation thus far
$400,000,000 and the total of loans to
all the allies to $745,000,000.

CHAPTER XIII—Continued.
—16—
"Will we!" And Carol added, "Will
you kiss Prudence good night for us,
and tell her we kept praying all the
time? Prudence Is such a great hand
for praying, you know."
Fairy promised, and the twins crept
upstairs. It was dark in their room.
"We'll undress in the dark so as not
to awake poor little Connie," whis-
pered Lark. "It's nice she can sleep
like that, isn't it?"
And the twins went to bed, and fell
asleep after a while, never doubting
that Connie, in her corner of the room,
was already safe and happy in the ob-
livion of slumber.
But poor Connie! She had not wak-
ened when Fairy closed the dungeon
door. It was long afterward when she
sat up and began rubbing her eyes.
She did not know where she was. Then
she remembered! She wondered if
Prudence— She scrambled to her
feet, and trotted over to the dungeon
door. It was locked; she could not
turn the knob. At first she thought of
screaming and pounding on the door.
, "But that will arouse Prudence, and
frighten her, and maybe kill her," she
thought wretchedly. "I'll just keep
still until someone passes."
But no one passed for a long time,
and Connie stretched her aching body
and sobbed, worrying about Prudence,
fearful on her own account. She had
no idea of the time. She supposed it
was still early. And the parsonage
was deathly quiet. Maybe Prudence
had died! Connie writhed in agony
on the hard floor, and sobbed bitterly.
Still she would not risk pounding on
the dungeon door.
UpstairS, in tne front room, Prudence
was wrestling with fever. Higher and
higher it rose, until the doctors looked
very anxious. They held a brief con-
sultation in the corner of the room.
Then they beckoned to Mr. Starr.
"Has Prudence been worrying about
something this winter?"
"Yes, she has."
"It is that young man, isn't It?" in-
quired the family doctor—a Methodist
"member."
"Yes."
"Can you bring him here?"
"Yes—as soon as he can get here
from Des Moines."
"You'd better do it. She has worn
herself down nearly to the point of
prostration. We think we can break
this fever without serious conse-
quences, but get the young man as soon
as possible. She cannot relax and rest
until she gets relief."
So he went downstairs and over the
telephone dictated a short message to
Jerry: "Please come—Prudence."
When he entered the front bedroom
again, Prudence was muttering unin-
telligible words under her breath. He
kneeled down beside the bed and put
his arms around her. She clung to him
with sudden passion.
"Jerry! Jerry!" she cried. Her fa-
ther caressed and petted her, but did
not speak.
"Oh, I can't," she cried again. "I
can't, Jerry, I can't!" Again her voice
fell to low mumbling. "Yes, go. Go at
once. I promised, you know. They
haven't any mother — I promised.
Jerry! Jerry!" Then, panting, she
fell back on the pillows.
But Mr. Starr smiled gently to him-
self. So that was the answer! Oh,
foolish little Prudence! Oh, sweet-
hearted little martyr girl!
Hours later the fever broke and
Prudence drifted into a deep sleep.
Then the doctors west downstairs with
Mr. Starr, talking in quiet, ordinary
tones.
"Oh, she is all right now, no danger
at all. She'll do fine. Let her sleep.
Send Fairy to bed, too. Keep Prudence
quiet a few days—that's all. She's all
right."
They did not hear the timid knock
at the dungeon door. But after they
had gone out, Mr. Starr locked the
door behind them, and started back
through the hall to see if the kitchen
doors were locked. He distinctly
heard a soft tapping, and he smiled.
"Mice!" he thought Then he heard
something else—a faintly whispered,
"Father!"
With a sharp exclamation he un-
locked and opened the dungeon door,
and Connie fell into his arms, sobbing
piteously. And he did. the only wise
thing to do under the circumstances.
He sat down on the hall floor and
cuddled the child against his breast.
He talked to her soothingly until the
sobs quieted, and her voice was under
control.
"Now, tell father," he urged, "how
did you get in the dungeon? The
twins—"
"Oh, no, father, of course not; the
twins wouldn't do such a thing as
that. I went into the dungeon to pray
that Prudence would get well. And I
prayed myself to sleep. When I woke
up the door was locked."
"But you precious child," he whis-
pered, "why didn't you call out, or
pound on the door?"
"I was afraid it would excite Prue
and make her worse," she answered
simply And her father's kiss was uu-
wontedly tender as he carried her up-
stairs to bed.
Prudence slept late the next morn-
ing, and when she opened her eyes her
father was sitting beside her.
"All right this morning, father," she
said, smiling. "Are the girls at
school?"
"No, this is Saturday."
*Oh, of course. Well, bring them
up, I want to see them."
Just then the distant whistle of a
locomotive sounded through the open
window, but she did not notice her fa-
ther's sudden start. She nodded up at
him again and repeated, "I want to see
my girls."
Her father sent them up to her at
once, and they stood at the foot of the
bed with sorry faces, and smiled at
her.
"Say something," whispered Carol,
kicking Lark suggestively on the foot.
But Lark was dumb. It was Carol
who broke the silence.
"Oh, Prudence, do you suppose the
doctors will let me come in and watch
them bandage your head? I want to
begin practicing up, so as to be ready
for the next war."
Then they laughed, and the girls
realized that Prudence was really
alive and quite as always. They told
her of Connie's sad experience, and
Prudence comforted her sweetly.
"It just proves all over again," she
declared, smiling, but with a sigh
close following, "that you can't get
along without me to look after you.
Would I ever go to bed without mak-
ing sure that Connie was safe and
sound?"
Downstairs, meanwhile, Mr. Starr
was plotting with Fairy, a willing as-
sistant.
"He'll surely be in on this train, and
you must keep him down here until I
get through with Prudence. I want to
tell her a few things before she sees
him. Bring him in quietly, and don't
&
But Mr. Starr Smiled Gently to Him-
self.
let him speak loudly. I do not want
her to know he is on hand for a few
minutes. Explain it to the girls, will
you?"
After sending the younger girls
downstairs again, he closed the door
of Prudence's room, and sat down be-
side her.
"Prudence, I can't tell you how bit-
terly disappointed I am in you."
"Father!"
"Yes, I thought you loved us—the
girls and me. It never occurred to me
that you considered us a bunch of self-
ish, heartless, ungrateful animals!"
"Father!"
"Is that your idea of love? Is that
"Oh, father!"
"It really did hurt me, Prudence. My
dear little girl, how could you send
Jerry away, breaking your heart and
his, and ours, too—just because you
thought us such a selfish lot that we
would begrudge you any happiness of
your own? Don't you think our love
for you is big enough to make us hap-
py in seeing you happy? You used to
say you would never marry. We did
not expect you to marry, then. But we
knew the time would come when mar-
riage would seem beautiful and desir-
able to you. We were waiting for that
time. We were hoping for it. We
were happy when you lov^d Jerry, be-
cause we knew he was good and kind
and loving, and that he could give you
all the beautiful things of life—that I
can never give my children. But you
thought we were too selfish to let you
go, and you sent him away."
"But father! Who would raise the
girls? Who would keep the parson-
age? Who would look after you?"
"Aunt Grace, to be sure. We talked
it over two years ago, when her hus-
band died. Before that, she was not
free to come to us. But she said then '
that wheneverNfe
she would come. We both felt that
since you were getting along so magni-
ficently with the girls, it was better
that way for a while. But she said
that when your flitting time came, she-
would come to us gladly. We had it
all arranged. You wpn't want to maiv
ry for a year or so, yet You'll want
to have some happy sweetheart days
first. And you'll want to make a lot
of those pretty, useless, nonsensical
things other girls make when they
marry. That's why I advised you to
save your burglar money, so you would
have it for this. We'll have Aunt
Grace come right away, so you can
take a little freedom to be happy, and
to make your plans. And you can
initiate Aunt Grace into the mysteries
of parsonage housekeeping."
A bright, strange light had flashed
over Prudence's face. But her eyes
clouded a little as she asked, "Do you
think they would rather have Aunt
Grace than me?"
Of course not But what has that
to do with it? We love you so dearly
that we can only be happy when you
are happy. We love you so dearly
that we can be happy with you away
from us, just knowing that you are-
happy. But you—you thought our-
love was such a hideous, selfish, little
make-believe that—"
"Oh, father, I didn't! You know I
didn't!— But—maybe Jerry won't for-
give me now?"
"Why didn't you talk It over witlt
me, Prudence?"
"I knew you too well, father. I knew
it would be useless. But—doesn't it
seem wrong, father, that—a girl—that
I—should love Jerry more than—you
and the girls? That he should come
first? Doesn't it seem—wicked?"
"No, Prudence, it is not wicked. Af-
ter all, perhaps it is not a stronger
and deeper love. You were willing to
sacrifice him and yourself, for our
sakes! But it is a different love. It
is the love of woman for man, that is
very different from sister love and fa-
ther love. And it is right And it is
beautiful."
"I am sure Jerry will forgite me.
Maybe if you will send me a paper and
pencil, I can write him a note now?
There's no use waiting, is there? Fairy
will bring it, I am sure."
But when a few minutes later, she*
heard a step in the hall outside, she-
laid her arm across her face. , Some-
how she felt that the wonderful joy |
and love shining in her eyes should be j
kept hidden until Jerry was there tj -
see. She heard the door open, and* -
close again.
"Put them on the table, Fairy deaiv
est, and, leave me for a little while* '
will you? Thank you." And her facer
was still hidden.
Then the table by the bedside was
swiftly drawn away, and Jerry kneeled I
beside her, and drew the arm from her' J
face.
"Jerry!" she whispered, half unbe-
lievingly. Then joyously, "Oh, Jerry!"
She gazed anxiously into his ]
"Have you been sick? How thin you ,
are, and so pale! Jerry Harmer, you j
need me to take care of you, don't j
you?"
But Jerry did not speak. He looked
earnestly and steadily into the joyful<
eyes for a moment and then
pressed his face to hers.
