I Heard In the Fog j
OonyrlRht. l!Xi, by rumor SprHKiip.
I bud chosen Weymouth, on the
South const of England, 11s the spot
.where I was to "lay off" for n month
and recuperate. The throe or four nicti
who had boats to hire soon had them
all out. I hnd planned to fish that
day, and as I took my boat out I
passed nt loist a dozen others.
There was something of a sea on,
and only .one boat followed mo out.
Its oceii'innls were a mini and a wo
man. The man had charge of tho sail,
and I soon had chum' to w.nuler that
he had been permit led to laUo n sail
boat out. It was clear thai lie Uncw ,
precious little about tho : ..'.-ri:;c:iient
of such a craft, and ; awhile I
brought my 1 oat up Into the v. iad and ,
wailed for him to come up that 1
might give him u wiirnhrr.
When he came along he was w ithin
nn net of cutting me :ov.t. and 1 cried j
out to him that but for the woman hi
tho craft I should like to see it bottom
side up and hi hanging on for de?r
life, lie gave me some impudence In .
reply, and the woman stood up ami
held her arms out to mo pleadingly; .
It at first seemed to be a c.:st calling J
for Interference, baton second tlnugh: !
I changed my mind. Tho woman. j
whom I took to be the man's wi.e, had j
not demanded my aid except by signs.
Tho man had thus far escaped disas
ter and might carry the boat back,
lie was sailing straight out into the
channel, but he might turn at any mo
ment. To Interfere was certain to
bring on a row, and I oven might be
lauded in jail over It.
I resumed my course, bearing away
from them, but a I watched tho other
craft she suddenly vanished from sight
like the snap of your finger. A fog
rolling In had hidden her.
The other bont was half a mile away
when she was blotted out. The tide
was getting In, and I knew that she
would drift back toward me ns soon
no'tliA hrfiA7j foil It vtMR nprhnns n
quarter of an hour before I heard
I voices and ten minutes later before l
I could make out words. They came
I from the other boat, which was drifting
slowly In. The man was cursing and
M 4kiuafAi,li n i A tltn n.nmnn liAirfflna
and praying.
"I will leave you, I will go away. If
you will spare my life," pleaded the
woman.
"You promised once before and then
lied to me," came the voice of the man.
"But It will be murder, murder, mur
der! Ob, Richard, you don't mean to
kill me!"
"But I do. You have been In my
way for years. Curse you! Why did I
ever run across your face? You have
atood between me and happiness long
enough."
. "But I'll go this time. I promise you
before God I'll go. Richard,. 1 have
been a good wife to you, but If yon
have come to hate me I'll go.".
"Hate you!" he growled, like a savage
animal, "Why, I hate you to the death.
I'd have murdered you a dozen times
over In the last two years If I'd hnd a
fair show. You are going to die now."
"Oh, my God, don't do It, Richard!
Don't kill me!",
1 knew their bont was close to me
now, and I gently raised my anchor
so as to drift In company with It. I
might have cried out, but I did not.
Had I struck my band on the rail of
the boat they' must have heard me." I
was silent, but why I cannot tell. I
heard the man move. I heard him tug
ging and breathing hard as he picked
the woman up In his arms.
She whimpered and gasped and tried
to scream, but he gave her a fling
over the gunwale of the bont She
fainted away, but did not go under the
surface. With the boat hook I reached
as far out ns I could on the port side,
and presently I hnd her nnd was pull
ing her in. The two craft, were not
ten feet apart, and yet no human
sight could pierce the fog between.
I held toe woman's head out of the
water for ten minutes. Then I some
how knew that tho other bont had
drifted' ahead of me. ami with the ut
most enre I hnulcd the unconscious wo
man Into the boat nnd laid her on
.the bottom. I wnlted seveu or elfcht
, minutes, nnd I then out wtyh the long
oar and by compass guldod the bout to
reach the shore at Brijport, to the west
of Weymouth.
Before we struck the beach I had
forced some brandy down her throat,
and she had regained consciousness,
but I did not exDlaln matters to her
I until we were on the sands and the
fog bad rolled away. She had begged
Jot her life like a weak woman, and I
f expected to find her hysterical. She
heard me through without Interruption,
and then her eyes snapped, and she
set her Jaws. I got a farmer to drive
us over to Weymouth, and during the
Journey she did not speak five word.
Her husband's boat had not made har
"bor yet The fog bad disappeared,
but the breeze was very weak. ,
We went to the bouse where the boat
had been hired and waited. When the
boat drew near the woman hid herself.
Her husband came ashore with pale
face and bloodshot eyes. The boat
owner said nothing of a woman having
gone with him, and the man was about
turning away when the woman stepped
out and took him by the arm. He gave
one look and groaned out and sank
down, and when be opened his eyes
be began babbling.
The pair were at the hotel for long
-weeks after I left, but so far as Ucould
keep track of the case the man had
not recovered. He could walk around,
bat he smiled and babbled in a silly
way, and his mind was that of an
Idjot And, stranger than all, the wo
man never thanked me for what I had
done or made mention of the affair,
thotifeh I saw her three or four times
d&r for two weeks. M. QUAD.
OLD GLORY.
torr of the Rtnra nnd Stripes on the
Amorlcnn Klnw.
The design for the American flag,
with thirteen stripes of nllernalo red
nnd white and thirteen white stars In
n bine field, representing the t'niiteen
states struggling for independence,
wus adopted by the ( 'onlinental con
gress on .Itmi II. 1777. a little less
than a year after the declaration of
Independence. The first Hag of fills
design was made as a specimen for
the congress by P.el-y iioss. a dress
maker, of Philadelphia, it Is supposed
that tills flag was lira unfurled by
Paul Jones on fie Hanger, a Vessel of
the navy to which he had been as
signed on the day that the resolution
adopting Hie de;ign was p:ie:l. The
thirteen stars of the ting of 1777 were
airnng'il in a circle, though no form
was pro i -i'i'ied otllcialiy. 'Mils flag re
mained unchanged until 17!M. and then,
on motion of Senator llradley of Ver

the war of 1 si'-'. The act made no
provision for I'm ure alteral ions hi the
Hag, and none was made until ISIS.
Vpon the suggestion of CafMain Sam
uel ('. Iteiil of the navy a bill was
passed on April I, l.l s. iv.lneing the
number of stripes in the Hag to the
original thirteen and making the num
ber of stars equal to the number of

Dentists mm Patients.
"Two of -the- most troublesome pa

profession," said a dentist in discussing
the tortures of teeth. "Strange to sny,"
he continued, "many dentists, whether
from natural defects or early negli
gence, have exceedingly poor teeth, and
as no practitioner can attend to bis own

patients of these two capable D. P. S.'s
are revengeful of disposition It would
do them good to see them in the chair.

The " Rexall " Remedies are successful, and this is why.
They were placed cn the market three years ago. They have
scored already the record cf the greatest success ever known in the
history of the drug business.
"Come and go " popularity may arise from any number of causes
(hullabaloo advertising among them) and may or may not be founded
on real worthiness. I2ut the man, the plan, the idc.i, or the article that
truly succeeds, does 10 because he or it deserves to succeed, and
for no other reason. ,
The success cf the "Rexall" Remedies is therefore tho first evidence
of their real merit. They sell .because they cure, and they cure be
cause each one of them is the best remedy known to medical science
for the particular ailment it is made to relieve.
There are nearly 200 remedies sold under the "Rexall" name,
each for one disease cr one purpose. Each of these has been selected
by a committee of experts from among all other remedies cf its
class, for manufacture and sale by The United Drug Company, a co
operative association of leading American druggists.
Wherever you see the name " Rexall," you may know that it
stands for a formula scientifically correct and proved efficient in actual,
long extended practice. We know these formulas and are glad to

REXALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
Tlie remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and suc
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
erties of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and other
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by tlie entire
medical profession as specific.!
for acute indigestion or chronic
dy pepsia.
The pepsin used is manufac
tured under a new process
which develops its greatest ef
ficiency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele
ments of the digestive fluid, but
it seems to exert a tonic influ
ence upon all the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carminitives add prop
erties which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The combination of t'le
whole makes a remedy i bso
