(Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) The slow ticking of the old-fashion ed clock was the only sound that brok* the stillness in the living roora at the home of Amos Chester. Marion, his ouly daughter and housekeeper, was seated comfortably In the big armchair, glancing over the daily papers, and a look of resent- \ ment now and then stole over her usu-1 ally placid face as she glanced at the | sleeping figure of her father. Tonight j the paper held little attraction for her. The pages which she had always found so interesting and enjoyable were passed lightly over. The day had been a rather dull one-the over hanging clouds of the past few days were the harbingers of the storm that had now settled, and the wind, increas ing in velocity, hud made indoors a safe haven. After her father had retired, Marion settled herself before the open grate, watching the tiny flames leaping here and there and slowly and surely con suming the great pieces of wood which j vere fed to the fiery monster. "Just j so our dreams end in ashes-and ash-1 es of regret, most of them," she said : aloud, as she carefully placed another piece to be devoured. How unjust it all was-the boys had all married and had homes of | their own ; while she-but she must ; not bring to light the ashes that had ' slumbered so long; and, brushing away | the tears that came to her eyes, she j drew her chair more closely to the crackling flames and, lowering the, light, gave herself up In reverie. The heat from the fire, coupled with the stillness of the room? made her drowsy, and she was soon wrapped In the arms of Morpheus. The smiling face of Doctor Bruce peered from the ruddy glow ; his arms of welcome were stretched toward her,: and the lips that had uttered denunci ations were now pleading her forgive ness. She saw him like a ministering an-? gel poins: from one cot to another, giving help and cheer to thc boys who had so freely given their all. The slamming of a shutter aroused her; the fire that had burned so bright ly was now a heap of ashes, and the dream, the realization of which was part of the happy past, was ended. The shutter Axed, she made prepara-' tions to retire. Sleep could not be wooed, and from the darkness imagi nary figures arose before her. That same face, now so kind and indulgent, and then the other, for whose safety her lips had remained scaled. The morning had a new dawning the terrific wind had abated ?ind the sky was flecked here and there hy myriads of pink touches, and peeping from the east was the sun, glorious Ju its refreshed beauty. As Marlon gazed on the benin ifni picture a new hope revived within her. Cheerily she commenced her house*; hold tasks, .'uni nmv anti then snatch-! es nf a snug of other days arose from her lips. A violent pull nt the bell startled her and, rushing tn the door, she found herself gazing at the face of her dream. Doctor Bruce. Bereft of speech, welcome and gladness por-: frayed themselves on her face, and Doctor Bruce knew that none had, usurped the place that had been in the past so dear to him. Lending the way to the room where she had dreamed of this happiness which had now become a reality, al soft glow creeping to her cheeks, all; the past was forgotten in the joy of j the present as she listened once again to the voice of by-prone days. He I told her how he had arrived the nipht before and ?'ame over the road in a comrade's car, so anxious was he to ask her forgiveness of the past. He spoke of his wanderin?: after the day he thought her false to him ; how he had offered his services to his country; of his work over there; he told her of meeting her cousin, from whom he had heard the whole story. How she had shielded him for his mother's sake -and had suffered uncomplainingly all these years. "Marion, dear. Can you ever for give me? "When I think what a cad I was for ever doubting you-" but her hand was placed gently on his Hps and with a face radiant with happi ness she nestled close beside him and whispered, "Yes. Jack-and we each have done our part." Plenty. David is four years old and n pn-1 tient of Sunnyside.

TEMPERANCE LEADER ENDORSES TANLAC Mrs.. Stone Was Associate of Laite Founder of W. C. T. U. THROUGH FRISCO FIRE Relates Experience With "Master Medicine," Which Gave Won derful Benefit. One of the features that distin guishes Tanlac from all other proprie tary medicines is the large number of prominent people -everywhere who are giving it their unqualified en dorsement. Among the statments re cently received at the Tanlac office is one in particular that is sure to a rouse widespread interest throughout the country, having been made by Mrs Martha R. Stone, of 7225 Third Ave., Northwest, Seattle, Washing, ton. She is a noted temperance lec turer who for many years was asso ciated with the late Frances E. Wil lard, founder of the W. C. T. U. In relating her experience with Tanlac, Mrs. Stone said: "I think it is the duty of everyone who has been relieved as I have to do what they can to help others; there fore, it gives me pleasure to tell of the benefits I have derived from the use of Tanlac. "I was a great sufferer for many years with stomach trouble, which be came so. bad I had to take to my bed, where I lay for six weeks, entirely helpless. The least noise would upset me and I was not allowed to see any one for fear it would excite me, and I was told that my entire nervous sys tem had suffered a total collapse. You see, I had passed through the great San Francisco fire, in which I lost everything I possessed and my experience was a severe shock to my already over-wrought nervous system. When at last I was able to get out of bed I would have such awful dizzy spells that everything in my room seemed to spin around as though I was in the centre of a whirl-pool. My stomach was so weak and my appe tite so poor that I hardly ate a thing, and what little I forced down soured and formed gas that pressed up in my throat and chest and made me hoarse, so much so that I had difficulty in speaking. I also suffered much from pain in the lower part of my body from the gas. My liver, too, was all out of order and my kidneys gave me no end of trouble. - "When my son-in-law saw that the medicines I was taking were doing me no good, he induced me to try Tanlac, as he said it had done him so much good he believed it would help me, too. To oblige him I got a bottle, and the first few doses convinced me that it was just what 1 needed, and my first bottle put me right on my feet. I am now cn my second bottle and am in splendid shape, for my nerves are practically in a normal state for the first time in several years, which I consider a remarkable thing. 1 have a fine appetite and can eat most anything I want without suf fering any unpleasantness afterward. Tanlac is fast helping me to over come my troubles, and I feel that I am getting on just fine ever since I began taking it." Edgefield, Penn and Holstein. Cold Spring, H. Ernest Quarles.

By Turning to Wood Fuel Supply ? Would Be Conserved and Transpon* tation Relieved-Woodlands Would Be Improved. (Prepared by -the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Wood for fuel should be sold by weight Instead of by cord measure, for the heating value depends not upon the bulk of the wood but upon its weight. A pound of dry wood of one species has about as much heating value ns a pound of any other spe cies, but two cords may vary 100 pei cent in their value for heating. It is the custom to sell hard woods and soft woods at slightly different prices becajise of differences in heat ing values. This is only a superficial classification, however, as two species of hard woods may have heating values widely different. Where hard Not Only ls Well-Arranged Farm Timber Land a Source of Fuel, but lt Shelters Farmstead From Pre vailing Winds, Keeping Down Fuel and Feed Bills. woods and soft woods are mixed to gether without regard to the propor tion of each the values may be so dif ferent, that one man may. for the same money, buy twice as much heating j value as another. The shape and size I of the sticks may also cause great I variation in the actual amount of ! wood substancie, and therefore of fuel. If weight were the mensure, Uni spe ! cies, shape and size of sticks would make little difference, provided the wood were thoroughly seasonei. It would be necessary, however, to fix certain standards as to time of sea soning of wood. There is special opportunity for j greater use of wood for fuel in New i England, New York, New Jersey. Fenn j sylvania. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and the lake states, where ! there is a rural population of about ! 20.000.000, which is estimated to use j annually IS.000,000 tons of coal. A ; considerable proportion of these fuel ; lifters will find wood available close ; enough to tiieir own neighborhood to ' make long freight hauls unnecessary. I By turning to wood1 they will not only . conserve the fuel supply and relieve j transportation, but are likely to con j tribute to the prosperity of their own j community. For one thing, the oppor I tunity to sell wood fuel would tend to encourage the Improvement of farm I woodlands by proper thinnings. An Increased market for woori fuel should open up good opportunities for operators of thrasher and sllo-cuttin outlits or others who have gasoline or kerosene engines to do custom sawing during the winter. TO COMBAT ONION DISEASES Pennsylvania Growers Preparing to Control Ailments as Result of Two Demonstrations. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Onion growers In many sections of Pennsylvania are preparing to com bat onion diseases this year as a re sult of onion-smut control demonstra tions held In the state last season. The treatment consisted in the appli cation by means of a drip attachment on the seeder, of a formalin solution (one pint to sixteen gallons) to the seeds after they aro dropped in the furrow and before they are covered. On a plot treated for onion smut the yield was at the rate of GS0 bushels an acre, and on the untreated it was only 3G0 bushels. Tho increase as a result of treatment wns 06 per cont and the cost was only $2.40 an acre In the other demonstration mentioned in the report tho yield on the treated plot was at the rate of 42n bushels an acre, and on the untreated only 180 bushels, the increase being 18:3 per cent, and the cost an acre $3.40.
