My summer outings are invariably
passed at the seashore, for I am not
only fond of the salt air, but of the
salt water. I love to breathe the for-
mer and bathe in the latter. I learned
to swim when I was a little girl eight
years of age, and as I grew older im-
proved so rapidly that I was at home
as much in the water as out of it.
But one summer while swimming at
a seaside resort I was taught the dif-
ferenee between the water .and the

land. I was swila.e.ag beyond. the
ropes, with no one near me, when I
was taken with cramps. I called for
help, but was too far from the shore
for my cries to be beard. Fortunately
a pier extended near,me into the ocean
and on the pier was 5 -man. What he
was doing there I did not know at the
time. Indeed, I did not know that
he was there. All I did know came
to me after an interval of unconscious-
uess. Then I was lying on the sand
with persons about me, some of whom
were making me very uncomfortable
by trying to get water out of me. \
My first act on recovering my senses
was to put my hand on my breast,
where I expected to find a gold Mal-
tese cross that was there when I went
• into the water. It was gone. Singu-
larly enough my loss crowded out of
my mind the fact that I had barely
escaped drowning. The cross was a
prize 1 had won at a swimming match
when I was fifteen years old. I always
wore it in the water and never at any
other time. When I did not find it on
feeling for it I assumed that it had
become detached from' me while I was
being brought out of the surf.
Of course I asked questions els to
how I came to be rescued. All I could
learn was that a man saw me from
'the pier, jumped off into the water
and swam for me Before jumpbag

cured their attention and a boat was
sent out for me. My rescuer reached
me when I came to the surface and
swam with me toward the beach.
Those in the boat made such poor
progress that be got me into shallow
water almost before they got the boat
launched. Indeed, 1 was not taken
into it at all.
As to the man who laved my life, I
could gather very little about him.
This was probably due to the fact that
when I had recovered from my illness
all those who had witnessed the rescue
had left the place for their homes.
At any rate, I could not find a person
who was on the beach when I was
brought ashore.
. The next winter I was visiting a
friend in a neighboring city and enjoy-
ing one social function after another.
Jenny Ef stela, the girl I visited, had
known me from childhood and had
often been with me in the water when
I wore my prize won at the juvenile
swimming match. One evening after
tt ball Jenny told me that she had
seen during the evening my cross, or
one exactly like it, on the lapel of a
young man's coat She had no ae.
qnaintance with him, consequently she
could not speak to him about it I
asked her why she bad not contrived
to secure an introduction to him,
whereupon she reminded me that it
was the privilege of the man to ask
for an introduction to a woman, not a
WOIllan's privilege to ask an introduc-
tion to a man. '
The incident reopened the matter of
my rescue the summer before: Could
It be possible that my little cross was
not under water after all, bet had
fallen into the possession or a stran-
ger? My name was engraved on it
as well, as a statement of how it had
been wen. Why bad this person worn
It on the lapel of Ms Coat instead of
on his watch charm if indeed be mnst
wear it at all? It I could have a look
at It I could tell Whether or not it was
mine without looking at the inscrip-
tion on the back. I charged Jenny if'
eihe saw the man. who wore It again
to leave no stone unturned to discover
where he got it.
Several of my girl friends knew of
much interested himself and asked me
what there was in the cross that con
-
corned me, whereupon I told him the
circumstances of my rescue. He prom-
ised me that he would keep his eyes
open for the possessor of the cross and
If he saw him wearing it would inter-
rogate him with regard to it and re-
port to me at once.
For the rest of the winter Mr,15/0Pd-
ruff was continually, tantalizing ,me
Nvith reports of this man who, was
wearing a decoration for life saving.
He was always hearing of him, but
never getting near him. At one time
he told me that the man had won his
decoration by saving some eine from a
hurting building; at another he had
heard an entirely different story -the
honor had been bestowed for having
snatched a child from before a loco-
motive.
Either of these stories would have
settled my mind as to the matter if I'
could have depended on it. But upon
questioning my Informer I drew forth •
the fact that what he had heard was
the merest hearsay. •
As the winter was drawing to a
close Mr. Woodruff's attentions to me
increased, and be began to display
some jealousy of this unknown person
In whom I took such an interest. "I
believe you are in love with him," be
said to MO one day. '"In love with
him?" 1 replied. "How can 4 be in
love with one I have never seen?"
"Well, then. you are in love with a
fancy picture you have created of him.
Ten to one it is no decoration he
wears, but has been given him by
some girl with whom he is spoond."
I grew fond of my admirer -indeed,
so fond of him that when he asked me
to be his wife I consented. He was
always quizzing me. 'and the man who
was wearing the Maltese cross was a
favorite subject with him. Ile asked
me when the spring came on whether
I would go to the seaside resort. and,
when I said that I would. but should
not be so venturesome as before, he
said he would spend his vacation with
me there.
"Perhaps we will meet the man who
is sporting your cross," he added. '•If
we do I shall get him out in the water
and drown him."
This display of jealousy pleased me,
and I retorted I had a sentimental
fancy that the man who wore the cross
was the person who had saved my life,
raid if I should meet him I WOS sure
I should fall in love with him. Then
my fiance looked grave. and I laugh-
ed him back to his former status.
When the summer came I went to
my %%surd resort several weeks before
my lover joined me. As soon as he
came he asked me if I had seen any-
thing of the fellow who had saved me
or the one who wore my prize and if
they had turned out to be one and the
same person. I teased him for awhile
by hinting that I had met him and
that he was an Adonis. Whether he
believed me or not I didn't know. At
any rate, he pretended he did. Lov-
er & are never very certain about any-
thing concerning the loved one and
are easily frigntened.
The morning after my dance's ar-
rival we went to the beach together
ter a bath. We met on the sands,
each in bathing costume, and what
did I see pinned to his bathing snit
but, my Maltose cross. I looked at
him with eyes big as saucers. He
burst into a laugh.
"You have been very stupid," be
said.

"Of course it is."
"Where did you get it?"
"Last summer, when you collapsed
in the water and I brought you In, in
some way or other it became detached
from your bathing dress and got
caught in mine."
I was paralyzed.
"I thought I would keep it," he
Went on, "and fool my friends by let-

"Do you mean to tell me that you

"I dragged you ashore; others got

"And you have been fooling me all
this time?" • •
I was half angry, but the smile he
gave me brought me round. and I be-
gan to realize that My rescuer stood
before me. If we had not been in the

informed that it was a deeeration giv-

Naturally this story served to stim-

had always regretted not being able to

Good Health Is Impossible
Without a Healthy Action
Of The Kidneys
When the kidneys begin to "act up"
and fail to filter the blood through them,
there passes into the system uric acid and
other virulent poisons, which will cause
some of the severest and most deadly
diseases known to mankind.
On the first • evidence of the approach
of kidney trouble Doan's Kidney Pills
should be used, and serious trouble
avoided. Mr. Israel Drost, Bath,
writes:—"I am sending you this testi-
monial telling you what a wonderful
cure Doan's Kidney Pills made for me.
My kidneys were so bad I was helpless
for about two months. I used several
kinds of pills, but none of them seemed to
be doing me any good. At last 1 was
advised to try a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills. When I had taken the first box
I found relief, and then I got another,,
and by the time I had taken it, I was
completely cured."
Doan's ICidney Pills are 50 cents per
box or 3 for $1.25, at all dealers or mailed

The Cause of it All
The outbreak is the natural result of
a condition under which all Europe
was armed to the teeth, with each na-
tion jealous and fearful of the others.
It is just as if a lot of neighbors had all
begun to entertain suspicions on each
other, and to carry revolvers in self
defence. Guns, either in the hands of
individuals, or nations, are almost cer
tain to sooner or later be going off
under such circumstances.
The manner and extent to which
they have gone off in this case is a
striking proof of the folly of the in
junction. "In time of peace prepare
for war." It is a striking proof of the
soundness of Andrew Oarnegie's de
claratton that battleships and guns
are not a protection against, but an
incentive to war.
The immediate cause of the conflag
ration is found in the conflict of inter
est between Austriaand Servia. There
are more Serbs in Austria than there
are in Servia itself. Ever since Servia
became an independent state, she has
constantly intrigued to secure the in
corporation of these outside Servians
within her own dominions. Austria
on the other hand sougtt not only to
bold the Servian population already
under her sway, but to annex Beryl&
as well, and ultimately to secure an
outlet on the Aegean Sea at Salonika,
The Archduke Ferdinand. heir to
the Austrian throne, was one of the
leaders in the movement looking to
the extension of Austria's powers.
The murder of the Archduke and his
consort, by a Servia,n youth, on June
296h, was an outcome of these plots
and counter p ots That murder was
followed, on July 23rd, by A demand
from Austria, not only for the punish
meat of the murderer, but that Aus-
trian officials te permitteato take part
in the enquiry preceding punishment.
This last demand Servia refused to
agree to, and five days later Austria
declared war on Servia.
It was at this point that Rnssia

between Russians and Serbs, and
Russia feared that if she permitted
Servia to the crushed, her influence
over all the other Balkan States. the
friendship of which is to her of great
valne, would be lost. She even feared
that the crushing of Servia might be
preliminary to the extension of Aus-
tria's dominions to the Aegean, and
possible to Constantinople., and thus
prevent Russia from realizmg the hope
of ultimately securing Constantinople
for herself.
Russia accordingly began moving
troops towards the Austrian frontier,
and on fuly 30 Germany demanded
that this movement cease. Germany's
action was due to two cause; first her
alliance with Austria. and second a
desire to see Austria, a friendly
po eec, rather than Russia, an un-
friendly one, moving towards the
Mediterranean.
On Russia refusing to stop the
movement of her troops, Germany de-
clared war on the 1st, and the next
day commenced war un France, an
ally of Russia. Germany knew that
war with Russia meant war with
France as well. because of the alliance
of the two powers, and Germany
evidently hoped to crush France be-
fore Russia was ready to strike.
Britain's participation is due, in
pert to events a long way back. One
of these events was the guaranteemg,
by Britain of Belgian neutrality.
When therefore: Germany, in order to
more easily reach the vitals of P'rance,
proposed to send her armies across
Belgium, and eo escape the line of fort
melees on her immediate front. Britain
declared that this invasion of Belgium
meant war upon Britain.
Even,however, if thereliad been no
invasion of Belgium it is prattically
certain that Britain would have gone
to the aid of France, because of an
understanding arrived at years ago,
When, in 1812,Britain practically an-
nexed Ei
gypt, n which France and
Britain had both been interested up
to that time, France was angered. Sub
sequent differences in the Upper Nile
country and China aggravated the
situation between these two powers.
This was followed by an understand-
ing in accordance with which France
accepted Britain's position in Egypt in
return for Britain giving France a free
hand in Morocco,. When France at.
tempted to take ever Morocco. Ger-
many demanded a say in the matter
as well and that, a few years ago
brought Britain and France on one
side, and Germany on the other, to the
verge of war. Incidentally it strength
eneel the understanding between
France and Britain to an extent
which would probably have made
them allies in this war even if the case
of Belgium had not been raised at all,
