h IN THE [ J FOG'? I k - - I ( .By Jean DicKerson |II The harbor of the gay little summer resort was fiiled with pleasure bouts of every description when the fog suddenly rolled in from the ocean and blotted out every sight and stilled every sound ot laughter. The ihug-chugging of motor boats ceased abruptly; sails rattled 1 down as they were hastily reefed; anchors plunked averbcard; and there arose the unmelodious din of fog Horns, bells, sirens and lusty shouts of warmng. The fog settled down thickly until one could scarcely see a hand's breadth ahead. Each person appeared isolated from his companion; vcii.es lost their identity and came weird and suriil or booming and low-pitched, always startling and unexpected even ’rom companions in the same craft. A fog bell from the lighthouse tolled lismally and from Island Point another bell sounded warningly. Vera Gale, alone in a frail canoe, was thoroughly frightened. An hour •igo it had been amusing to set out in her pretty green canoe and paddle around the harbor, perhaps calling at ■ ome yacht for a few brief words with friends or skirting the sandy shore exchanging merry badinage with the bathers or campers—all of them were friends of Vera Gale. Just as she had skimmed near an incoming excursion steamer and ■ \oided a luxuriously appointed motor boat —when she was surrounded on every side by boats larger and heavier than her own frail craft —the fog shut down and she v>hs helpless. ' Once she paddled desperately toward the point where she was sure there was safe landing but she found herself under the bow of the big steamer which had anchored there and roice warned her away. Then she bumped into a smaller acat and somebody swore inelegantly it her and she found herself apologia-• *.ng meekly for the intrusion. As she x . ■ w h v MB ■ k “Are You Alone in a Boat?” finished speaking there came from the fog close besijde her a man’s voice. Vera was glad it was a pleasant voice —it sounded so near. “Pardon me, madam, but are you alone in a boat?" “Yes—-I have a canoe," was Vera's reply. "A dangerous craft in this mix-up,” went on the voice. “Can you swim?" "Yes—do you think there is any danger?” Vera was growing anxious. “Most assuredly there is danger «if that steamer stirs before the fog lifts. 1 have a large boat here and there is plenty of room if you care to come aboard. We can have a line out to the canoe.” “Thank you very r much, perhaps I had better. I've been frightened to death for the last fifteen minutes,” laid Vera. 1 "It’s mere guesswork where you are —tell me if I lay hands on your canoe.” There followed a few moments during which Vera knew her new acquaintance must be feeling around for her canoe and with another dip of her paddle she endeavored to draw closer to the sound of his voice. Her effort was successful for almost instantly something—a hand—grasped her rail and the voice sounded in her ear. “Got you!” cried the voice triumphantly. “Yes,” answered Vera excitedly. “Steady there,” as he pulled the frail craft gently toward him until it bumped against the larger boat and bobbed unsteadily. “Now, give me your hand, please—place 1 the other on toy -shoulder and step over—don’t be afraid, there’s a locker to stand on.” Vera's hand was grasyed in a largestrong wet one and obediently her other went out to find his shoulder. To her infinite embarrassment it first brushed a shaven cheek, then awkwardly grasped at a shock of thick hair and ended on a rough, woolen sMoulder. "Oh. I beg pardon!” she gasped as her band found a resting place. He relieved her embarrassment by Speaking of her canoe as he almost lifted her to a seat with one strong arm even as he held onto her craft with the other. She couldn’t see his face and bis. figure was merely a dark blur in the fog. ' ‘ There, I’ll have a line out to the

canoe and you can feel quite easy about it. Here are your paddles—-just throw them down anywhere. Now, if you’ll just slide a little further around you can manipulate this siren and I’ll give my entire attention to the engine in case we have to cut and run at short notice.” “Where is the siren?” asked Vera as she groped about with her hands. “Give me your hand—there, feel that lever?” “Oh, yes—l thought it was the squee-gee kind,” said Vera as she pulled at the lever and then almost’ streamed at the loud “800-oo!” that followed. “My own invention —that lever,” chuckled the voice. “Great, isn’t it?” “Fine—it’s very loud,” admitted Vera. “How often shall I sound it?” “Whenever the other fellows stop,” he laughed. “There are so maity of them the sounds lap over one another,” commented Vera as she managed to get in another alarming “800-oo!” Again her fellow passenger laughed and his voice had a ring of familiarity, It was very baffling to sit there so close to him and not know what he looked like —who he was —or anything about him. It was very romantic, too, but Vera was not thinking of that somehow, for there was such a babel of sounds about her that all she could think of was that if she really knew who this man was she might feel more confidence in his ability to protect her from the excursion steamer that was their greatest menace. So far hetrescuer had proved himself to be quite at home in his motor boat; he was strong and cool-headed and he was entirely practical and impersonal. All those things counted in his favor with Vera Gale. Suppose the . excursion steamer did run them down would he be the sort to save her or would he let her go? Vera received an answer to that question with startling swiftness. From another direction there came a medley of sounds—a tooting, blowing, pounding of a steamer’s screw and then out of the fog astern there loomed a dark shape and before Vera's frightened lips could utter a sound, her new acquaintance leaned forward, a gigantic form in the mist, and grasping her in his arms stepped overboard into the bay while the puffing steam tug sent his boat with the dangling canoe straight to the bottom of the harbor where it was not recovered for many a day. The man and the girl went down and then up again, miraculously escaping arising unde» 'any one of the craft that surrounded them. Vera’s companion held her closely with one arm and with the other he stroked vigorously to keep them afloat. Presently Vera Recovered her wits sufficently to strike out with her free arm. “Bravo!” lie panted when he found that she, too, was swimming. Then, amid the shouting and whistling and screeching about them, his voice arose. “Boat ahoy—two in the water!” he yelled. After that there was danger of their being run over by rescuers but all at once he shouted joyfully that he*had found something, and then friendly hands pulled them over into an open boat and only then did the man give up the girl he had rescued. “If—it—hadn’t been —for you-u-u—l w—w —ould Jia-have been drowned!” said Vera through chattering teeth. "My c-anoe w-would ha-have <gone to the bottom —so w-would 1.” "It's at the bottom now and sb is mine!” returned the other cheerfully. "Say, mate, have you got anything warm to wrap this lady in?” “Aye—here you are!” and a knitted jacket was x tossed from the fog and her new acquaintance, sitting beside her, wrapped? Vera in its comforting folds. “How about yourself?” she asked after a little while. "Oh, never mind me—l'm tough,” was his careless reply. "But say,” earnestly, “you're plucky, do you know it?” ~ “I was scared to death,” admitted Vera. “So was I,” he retorted and they both laughed. They sat there side by side. Vera listening to his conversation with the other occupants of the open boat. She was trangely contented and happy. For some unknown reason she felt that something new had come to her that afternoon —some new experience that was to color all her after life. Then all at once the fog lifted. As suddenly as it had enveloped them it whiffed away before a light breeze, showing all the maze of boating in the harbor and everything sprang into renewed life and activity. The two who had spent an hour in the fog together—who had touched hands —had spoken—had gone down to the gates of death arid up againturned and looked at each other. “Allen Cramer,” cried Vera breathlessly. ■' "Vera Gale!” he cried equally astonished, and then these two who had known each other all their lives and never dreamed of falling in love felt a strange sweet embarrassment creeping over them. “It seems like stepping intp a new world—after the fog,” .said Vera to cover- her embarrassment. “It is a new world for ine,” said Allen gravely, and his hand closed over hers. Nover Fail. “Do you think women would improve politics?” "Well,” replied Mr. Grovener, “after listening to the conversation on the front porch, I’ll say this for them: If they ever start an investigation they’ll find out something.”

IS' WHY HE WAS LIKE A DONKEY Husband Gets Startling and Unexpected Reply From Spouse When Trying to Spring Joke. “William, do you know why you are like a donkey?” “Like a donkey?” echoed William, ; opening his eyes wide. “No, I don’t..’ “Do you give it up?” “I do.” '“Because your better-half is stubbornness herself!” I “That’s not bad. Ha! ha! I’ll give that to my wife when I get home.” “Emily,” he began, as sat down to supper, “do you know why I am like a donkey?” He waited for a moment, expecting his wife to give it up; but she didn’t, i She looked at him with seme pity in ! her eyes, and replied: “I suppose, dear, because you were born so." Wages of Sin. Bert Somers, a lively 4-year-old, is a great pet of the young lady next door and spends a good deal of his time with her. . One morning he had not made his .usual early call, and Miss Sallie weft in by the back way, just before noon, to learn the reason. There was no ohe about, so she 1 mlled: ■ “Bert, Bert, where are you?” ! “Here,” answered a shrill voice : from upstairs, and Miss Sallie, ascendj ing, found her young friend, nightie | on, in bed. “My, my!” she exclaimed, “what j ire you doing in bed this time o’ day? ; In for a nap?” “Naw!

PUTTING HER LOVER TO TESI Young Woman Arranges With Pretty Girl to Try Out Her Sweetheart With Startling Results. Lincoln Beachey, after a flight in his biplane, was congratulated on bls daring by a reporter. “But I wasn’t daring,’’' the aviator said. “I put my machine only to such ordeals as I knew it could withstand. In flying, as in love, we must run no risks.” Ke laughed softly. “I know,” he said, “a young woman about to wed who decided at the last moment to test her sweetheart. So, selecting the prettiest girl she knew, she said to her. though she knew it was a great risk: “I’ll arrange for Jack to take you out tonight—a walk on the beach in the moonlight, a lobster supper, and all that sort of thing—and I want you, in order to put his fidelity to the proof, to ask him for a kiss.’ “The other girl laughed, blushed and assented. The dangerous plot was carried out. Then, the next day, the girl in love visited the pretty one and said, anxiously: , “‘Well, did you ask him?’ “ ‘No, dear.’ “‘No? Why not?’ “‘I didn’t get a chance. He asked me first.’ ” MODERN PROPOSITION. Jw MS--W 1 She—l am afraid you can’t support me in the way I have been accustomed. He—Why—er— er—how much alimony have you been getting.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS Genuine Merit Required to Win the People’s Confidence Have you ever stopped to reason i why it is that so many products that I are extensively advertised, all at once I drop out of sight and are soon forgot- 1 ten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil the promis'es of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been cured, to those who are in need of it. In an interview on the subject a prominent local druggist says “Take soT example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows immediate results, as many of my customers testify; No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.” The success of Dr. Kilmer’s SwampRoot is due to the fact that it fulfils every wish in overcoming kidney, liver ' and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid I which causes rheumatism.

Great scabs would come off when I removed his shirt. “We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment but; a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks’ time he was entirely cured.

LITTLE RUSE DIDN’T SUCCEED Youngster’s Scheme Was All Right, But Economical Father Was a Match for Him. The proprietor of the most prominent hotel in £he town of S , Kyis a man of a very economical nature, in fact he is an extremist in this feature. He has a six-year-old. red-headed son that didn’t inherit his father’s economical disposition. Recently the son was very much in need of a five-cent piecq for soda water purposes. He went into the diningrom, where he was free from observation, and removed his shoe strings and placed them in his hip pocket for future reference. (Returning to the office he approached his father and said: “Pa, give me a nickel to get me a pair of shoe strings.” His father glanced down at his son’s shoes, then turning around approached the office safe and opened it in silence. He took out the cash box and raising the lid extracted a pair of new shoe strings, which he handed to his son without a word. The youngster took the strings with a crestfallen air and then to the amusement of the onlookers exclaimed: “Stung again, by granny.” THE TRUTH ABOUT BLUING. Talk No. 6.
