As he Houndered on to the caving surface It let him back, and the waters covered him time and again, He pitched oddly about, and for the first time they saw his eyes were bound tightly with bandages, which be strove to loosen. “My God, he's snow blind!” cried George, and In a moment he appear ed among the frantic mob fringing the | shore. The guide broke his way toward a hummock of old ice forming an islet near by, and the priest halt swam, half scrambled behind, till they crawl ed out apon this solid footing. Here the wintry wind searched them. and | their dripping clothes stiffened quick- “Me needs killing, | am hungry for his life.” ly. Orloff dragged the strips from his | face, and as the sun glitter pierced his ' eyes he writhed as though seared by | the naked touch of hot steel He shouted affrightedly in his blind- | ness, but the mocking volce of Big ' George answered him, and he cow | ered at the malevolence in the words. “Here | am, Orloff. It's help ye | want, is 1t? I'll shoot the man that tries to reach ye. Ha, ha! Ye're freezing, eh? Georgie will talk to | keep ye awake. A dirty trick of the | river to cheat me so! [I've fattened | for years on the hope of stamping | your life out, and now's it's robbed me. But I'll stick till ye're safe in | b—L" i The man cried piteously, turning his | bleared eyes toward the sound. “Shoot, why don't you, and end it?! Can't you see we're freezing? He! stood up in his carapace of stiffened | clothes, shivering paisiedly “The truest thing se ever said,” cried George, and he swung his Colt's into view. “It'll favor you, and I'l} keep my vow.” He raised the gun. The splashing of the distant dogs | | broke theWsilence A native knelt stiffly. “George, George! Captain nad stumbled down among them and plucked at his arm. peering dimly ato his distorted face “Great God! Are you a murderer? They'll be dead be fore we can save them.” “Save ‘em!’ said George, while rea son fought with nis mania. “Who's going to save 'em? He needs killing. I'm hungry for his life” i “He's a man, George They're both | buman, and they're dying in sight of | us. Give bim a chance ight iike a | man.” As he spoke the fury fell away from the whaler, and be became the alert, strong man of the frontier, knowing the quick danger and meeting it. Soaked to the armpits, he smashed a trail through which they reached the hummock where the others lay, too listless for action. At the shore they bore the priest to their shelter, while the guide was snatched into a nearby hut They hacked off his brittle clothes and sup- ported him to the bed. “He's badly frozen,” whispered Cap- tain. “Can we save him?" They rub- bed and thawed for hours, but the sluggish blood refused to flow into the extremities, and Captain felt that this man would die for lack of amputation. “'Pis no use,” finally said the big man despairingly. “I've seen too many of 'em. We've done our best.” “George Brace, I've harmed you bit- terly,” declared Orloff, “and you're a good man’ to help me so, It's no use.

He will recover.” “It's a sad, sad day,” mourned George. “It just takes the taste out of everything. He's a cripple, eh? “Yes—helpless! | did not know Father Orloff had many—er—friends hereabouts,” continued the doctor. “He was thought to be hated by the whites. | I'm glad the report was wrong.” “Friends be d—d." said the other | strongly. “What's a friend?

Looking forward to the approval of ! the $50,000,000 state road loan at the November elections, the Pennsylvania | Good Roade Associations already out- | lining a campaign for the passage of a | law by the legislature of 1915 limiting’ the expenditure from this fund to $5.- 000,000 in any une year. The association realizes that proper enaljing legislation is almost as im- portant as the loan itseli, and it is al ready preparing to make the limiting of expenditure the big issue of the elec. tions next fall wherever members of the house and senate or state officers having to do with the highway depart- ment are to be elected. Every candi- | date for the legislature will be asked whether or not he favors such a law, so that the voters will know in ad- vance exactly where he stands. The association holds that $5,000,000 a year, in addition to such sums as are set aside from current revenues for the uses of the highway department, | will constitute as much money as will be necessary to carry out a systematic, economic and practical campaign for ' first class road construction. The association sets forth its posi tion on the road loan and the proposed legislation in the following address to the people of the state: To the People of Pennsylvania— The Pennsylvania Good Roads Asso | ciation commends to the favorable con- gideration of the voters the proposed amendment to the constitution to per- mit the state to issue bonds not ex- ceeding $50,000,000 for the construc-. tion of highways. This amendment has been adopted by two legislatures and now requires only the approval of a majority at the polis in the November | election of 1913. Issuance of bonds is an approved method of financing large enterprises, both public and private. The consti tution of Pennsylvania grants to all | municipalities the right to bond them. selves for such purposes. Cities and towns generally avail themselves of this efficient and economic method of providing funds for public works. The proposed amendment would extend a like privilege to the state itself in a limited degree and for a specific pur- pose, The need is imperative. Enlightened public sentiment demands good roads. | | Pennsylvania is far behind many of | her sister states in meeting this de | mand. Repeated experience has shown | that legislatures cannot be depended | on to resist the demands for appro | priations for public and private char- ities to such an extent as to permit of | adequate support for road building out | of the general revenues. A bond issue | offers the only alternative. The state | is out of debt. It can borrow an abun- dance of money at low interest. Re payment of the loan through the ac | cumulation of a sinking fund and its | interest earnings during a long period | of years will impose no serious bur- den on the revenues. Farms and other real estate will not be called upon to | pay a dollar of this, because there is | and can be no state tax on real state] in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Good Roads As | sociation is in favor not only of the | bond issue, but of a conservative and | well-ordered method of issuing these | bonds and expending the proceeds thereof. Should the bond issue be ap- proved by the voters in November, no money would be available until the legislature had passed and the gov- ry the constitutional amendment into effect. The legislature and *he gover- nor upon whom this duty would de- volve are to be nominated at the pop: lar primaries next spring and elected the following November. The people will be in a position to demand of al! candidates assurance of how they wili deal with the expenditure of the road unds. This association will urge upon all candidates and upon the incoming state administration and legislatu-e taking office in January, 1915, the pas: e of an enabling act that will pro | vide for the igguing of the bends in amounts not {o exceed $5,000,000 a year, 80 as to produce only so muc" meney as may be necessary in addi tion to appropriations from the cur rent revenues to rarry out a syste- matic, economical ind practical cam- Paign of first class highway construc- ion.

It would be thought that women recognizing the delicacy of their sex, would seek in that delicacy, at first, for the cause of headache, dizziness and gen- eral weakness. But instead of this, they generally attribute such disorders, at first, to the liver, and treat the liver when they should be treating the delicate womanly organs. And yet women's mis- takes are not so remarkable when it is considered that local physicians often make a similiar mistake and treat for the wrong disease. Over half a million women have found health and healing in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Many of these had tried doctors in vain.

By J. O. LEWIS MENACE to the smaller cities, towns and communities is proved by the lurge patronage they enjoy from all over the entire country and further substantiated by the number of packages carried by transporta- tion companies, which under the law must bear the name or some mark of identification by which the shipper is known. This mail order business got its inception from men who made a habit of buying up secondhand goods, stocks from bankrupt firms and fife damaged or salvage goods from fire losses. To these were added goods that were culled by manufacturers and graded seconds and thirds, etc. These were shrewd business men, men who believed in advertising, and, realizing the possibilities of advertising, commenced their business entirely along these lines, and to PROVE THE SUCCESS OF ADVERTISING no better evidence could possibly be offered than the fact that every weekly pa- per—farm, industrial, social or religious—carries their advertisements and also that they send out catalogues of enormous sizes, beautifully illustrated and embellished, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to publish. Today they have grown to such enormous size that they own and control factories, while they contract to sell the entire output of other factories. However, the plants they control and operate manufacture what is termed in commercial parlance as competitive goods—something that every merchant can sell at a low price to meet the demands for cheap merchandise. BUT AS TO STANDARD ARD HIGH CLASS GOODS MADE BY LARGE AND RELIABLE FIRMS YOW NEVER SEE THESE GOODS AD- VERTISED BY MAIL ORDER HOUSES, OR IF YOU DO THE PRICE IS JUST THE SAME AS FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURERS FOR ALL DEALERS. Therefore when one orders articles of the low priced and cheaper kinds HE IS SURE TO GET JUST WHAT HE BUYS—cheaply made goods and seconds and no cheaper than he can buy right at home when freight charges, money order fees and postage are added. Thousands of dollars annually are being sent to these mail order houses from this vicinity, thus DEPRIVING THE HOME MERCHANT OF HIS RIGHTFUL PATRONAGE. And yet, no matter how much the merchant may be dependent on the patronage of members of his community, he is sup- posed to give and to aid'in every work undertaken for the material betterment of his town, and he does, being often coerced into giving by the demands of kis custoiners, fearing to offend them because of the fear of loss of patronage. THERE CAN BE NO QUESTION BUT THAT ALL OF OUR PEOPLE ARE IN DUTY BOUND TO PATRONIZE HOME MERCHANTS. TO THEM YOU OWE ALLEGIANCE AND SUPPORT, AND | NOW ASK YOU CANDIDLY, ARE YOU GIVING IT TO THEM? If you are buying goods out of your home town—more particularly from mail order houses and merchants in other cities—I say to you that you are UNDERMINING THE HOME MERCHANT and likewise the very founda- tion of your own well being. Every dime that you send to a mail order house makes that much harder the success of your home merchant and likewise re- tards the growth of your town. The money you send to mail order houses is taken entirely out of local circulation—is gone forever. WHEREAS, IF YOU SPEND IT WITH A HOME MERCHANT HE IN TURN WILL SPEND IT WITH SOME ONE ELSE—PERHAPS PAY IT BACK TO YOUR FATHER, YOUR SON OR BROTHER, SISTER OR DAUGHTER AS SALARY, AND THUS IT COMES BACK INTO THE FAMILY, DOING A UNIVERSAL GOOD. That many of our home people are ordering goods from mail order houses is a well known fact. One has but to visit the depots and express office to find therein daily many packages addressed to them and likewise bearing the name or address of certain mail order houses. These people are known to our mer: chants. and that's a fact. These packages consist of clothing, dry goods, gro ceries, drugs. tollet articles, furniture, hardware, carpenters’ tools, farm imple ments and what not. ALL OF WHICH COULD BE PURCHASED FROM OUR OWN HOME MERCHANTS, QUALITY CONSIDERED, FREIGHT CHARGES ADDED AND TIME IN TRANSPORTATION, JUST AS CHEAPLY AS FROM ANY MAIL ORDER HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY. Supposing the merchants should band themselves together and refuse credit to those who patronize these mail order houses and further refuse to employ members of families who do this or refuse to buy the wares of these people? Wouldn't they find living mighty hard? To he continned under the title, “THE HOME MERCHANT HAS EARN- TT: the mail order houses in the large cities have BECOME A suggestion.
