tore slie could get out tho lwat was
lowered and pulled away from the ship.
U.110 gray or tlio morning revealed
the leviathan a few miles distant, half
sunken, resting on tho water liko a
watched by thoso in tho boats, nearly
all of whom know that somo loved ouo
was soon to go down to death with
her. Then raising her Jiugo stern sho
plunged downward, and tho placo
whero sho had been was but a part of
tho boundless ocean.
Safety camo for thoso in tho boats
in tlio appcaranco of a steamer that
had heard tho wireless cry for succor.
Tho boats were relieved of their bur-
en ship wero carried Into an American
port.

cry attention. But for this tho caso
would havo been hard Indeed. Never
theless, it did not relieve tho desola
tion of comlnir tn a now land a bride
widow. As noon ob it was known what
labor eho could do, Uiofo Intrusted with
the work of assisting tho women and
children who had lost husband and
father, secured her a place in mills
whoro she could ply her trade, and sho
beenmo self supporting. Somo tlmo
after her arrival In America a llttlo
girl was' born to her, and although
there wns a melancholy in not having
ber husband with her at tho time sho
welcomed tho child as a memento of
her husband and as a solaco In ber
loneliness.
Amelia for awhllo had a lingering
hope that Adolph might bo picked up
and brought to land by somo passing
vessel, but as month after month pass
ed and she heard nothing from him,
tho hope gradually died nwny. Sho
was well skilled In her work and re
ceived every attention and encourage
ment, as did all survivors of that ter
rible shipwreck.
And so tlmo passed. Tho widow
worked hard and saved that sho might
educate her child. Amelia was stlH
young and comely, with tho fair hair
and complexion of the people of tho
north nnd n pair of melancholy blue
eyes. Suitors came, but sho listened
to nouo of thnm. From childhood sho
had been Adolph Stnhr's sweetheart,
and there wns llttlo prospect of her
ever giving herself to any other man.
Six years pnssed. Little Lena Stahr,
who was now old enough to bo amused
by pageants, when n Labor day came
round besought her mother to take her
to pee the procession.
So Mrs. Stahr, putting on the child's
best clothes, took her into the city nnd
found n vacant stoop whero they would
be sufficiently elevnted to see the
marching men. There thoy waited.
Tho child was wild with that excite
ment children of her age display at
porno unusual occurrence, especially a
parade. When necks wero craned In
the direction tho trades unions were
expected sho would shout, "Hero they
come!" nnd when disappointed would
begin to look forward for the next fore
cast of tho approach. In this way an
hour passed when n distant roll of
drums was heard, followed by faint
strains of martial music. Then Lena
danced nnd clapped her hands and
laughed with anticipation.
At last came tho band, headed by the
drum major, whose tossing of his staff
wns a delight to all onlooklng children.
Then tho grand marshal, surrounded
by his aids, passed by, followed by one
union after another. When tho masons
passed suddenly n man dnrted from the
ranks, pushed his way through tho
crowd that lined the sidewalk and,
leaping over several small boys and
disarranging the big hats of a number
of women, clasped Amelia in his nrms.
The man was Adolph Stahr, her hus
band. Amelia saw him nnd knew him
before ho reached her. Almost before
libs arms were about her she lost con
sciousness. Her first act after coming
to herself was to point to Lena.
Adolph understood, and, taking tho
child in his arms; tho three were united
in one embrace.
Stahr, after parting -with his wife on
tho sinking vessel, began to think of
himself. First lie picked up a life
preserver and put it about him. He
was cool and took forethought for a
possible saving of his life. IIo secured
a bottle of water and some meat and
bread. These, wltb a small flask of
liquor he had brought with him on his
Journey, he stowed away as best he
could on his person, then, returning to
the deck, gathered what loose material
he could to make a raft.
The latter stood him in good stead,
for, embarking upon it, ho managed to
paddle himself far enough away from
the ship not to bo drawn down with
her when sho sank. Ho wns among
a very few who did so, and soon after
the ship went down ho became separat
ed from that few.
lie saw tho steamer that came and
took up thoso in the boats, but he had
meanwhile drifted away from them too
fur to be seen or heard, but he re
joiced nt tho knowledge that those In
tho boats, especially his young wife,
were saved. lie drifted slowly on till
there was nothing in Bight except tho
sky and tlio ocean. Tho sea was com
paratively calm and his bread and
meat bo kept dry till It had been con
sumed. This, with his bottle of wa
ter, kept him alive for three days days
of horror, but not bereft of hope. Ships
passed, but they were too far away to
bo nttractedi At last ho kept what re
mained of his strength by nu occasion
al draft from Ills 11 11 8k.
IIo was passing iuto semlunconsclous
ness when bo was aroused by a shout
and saw a small boat pulled toward
him. IIo was taken on board a sailing
ship bound on a trading tour around
tho world 'and found no means for
leaving her nnd making America for
a long while. "When ho did succeed in
this his Amelia had been lost track of
by thoso who had known of her land
ing. Stahr did not return to tho rnnks.
no found something more interesting,
than parading a wife, nnd a daughter
whom ho hud never seen, of whoso ex
istence bo had had no knowledge. Be
tween the two, tho wife leaning on his
arm, tho daughter lovingly holding tho
hand of her newly found futhcr, they
went to tho mother's homo to lay plans
for their future.
SInco that fortunate meeting, that
blessed reunion, tho Stahr family tako
an unusual Interest in Labor dny, for
It is their main anniversary- II(ul It
not been for that parado that Mrs.
Stahr and her daughter wero looking
at, their paths might never havo Joined.
Stahr called their meeting a coinci
dence, but Mrs. Stahr, who is n de
vout Christian, looks upon it as a dis
pensation of a merciful providence.
They havo prospered, tho husband and
father having made money as a con
tractor, but be novcr fails to Join In
tho parade on Labor day like an or
llnary workman.
OFFERS TAFT "$500" FOR $250
But He Doesn't Buy Beoaute Option li
on Confederate Note.
An option on n $000 bill nt ?250 was
offered to President Tnft recently. The
offer wns mado by n citizen of Bus
sla, who wroto to the president tender
ing n $500 Confederate note.
In a lengthy letter written In French
the Busslan stated that tho noto had
been In tho possession of his family
for half a century or more, and since
none of tho bnnks there wns willing to
take It up he would glvo tho presi
dent tho opportunity of buying It nt
half price.
The president did not boo fit to In
vest In tho note nnd turned the letter
over to tlw Kocrctary of tho treasury.
ASKS SEEDLESS TOMATO SEED
Representative Hughes Gets n Unique
Request From a Constituent.
Representative nugbes of Georgia is
a farmer who not only operates a
farm, but has lived on it for forty
years. That ho is a real farmer Is
proved by his having served for four
years as president of tlio Gcorgln State
Agricultural society.
Mr. Hughes found in his mall re
cently a request from a constituent
that puzled him. It was evidently
written by a wife who went to the
general store nnd told tho clerk sho
wanted to look nt somo of tho invisi
ble veils. This Is tho letter:
Dear Dud 8am Topp, ovor in Flatwood
district, hci boon tellln' me uv n now
seedless tomato tho gruvmcnt la lssuln'. 1
write to ask you to send me somo of the
seed so I can grow thorn.

plant industry said tho seedless toma

WHEN THERE
IS ILLNESS
in your family you of course call
a reliable physician. Don't stop
at that; nave his prescriptions
put up at a reliable pharmacy,
even if it is a little farther from
your home than some other store.
You can find no more reliable
store than ours. It would be im
possible for more care to be taken
in the selection of drugs, etc., or
in the compounding. Preecrip
