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 Se shouted to those on the beach. se - • MO= TO BIS rams° SUIT WAS 512 Kamen onoss. 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. that my cross?" —1r: 777 "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- ting them think it was a decoration of some sort. I've had no end of fun with It. At last I heard of your inquiries and concluded I had better not wear It any more, In case I should meet You you might claim your property from me." "Do you mean to tell me that you are the person who saved my life?" "I dragged you ashore; others got the life back into you." "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 Whist of a throng I would have thrown myself into his arms; as it was I im'- pulsively grasped his hand in both of Mine. "Come," be said, "let's go take a 1 I Despite the onlookers, we wilted hand in hand to the brink and swam out to the place where I had collapsed.. the matter, and one of them carte te me one day with a story that she had seen a young man at a reception who wore on his breast a gold Maltese . cross. She had taken pains to ask one who knew him what it meant and was informed that it was a deeeration giv- en for saving life. Naturally this story served to stim- ulate the interest already excited in me with regard to the decoration and Its wearer. Was there any connection between my rescue and this man? I had always regretted not being able to express my gratitude to my rescuer, and now a wild hope sprang up within me that he had been discovered -dis- eovered, but not attained. He was drifting near me as one ship may drift near another in a fog, unseen by, me, only reported by othe'rs. One evening at a dance I met and received ,marked attention from one Howard Woodruff. I told him that there was a young man floating on the social sea who wore a gold cross in which 1 was interested, He seendarf A sharp prospective rise in the price, of flour is' one indication of haw Wart'eta AVIAwiee we live. 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 &red on receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., T.Arnited, Toronto, Ont. When ordering direct specify "Doan's."

NCW YORK CITY. . • A , 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 came in, There is a racial affinity Good Spirits can only be enjoyed by those whose digestive organs work naturally and regularly..

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, Caught in - the Act Yes!
