Oiant of the Wood and enllat him in
patiiotio farm work. She aavea him from
a rattleanake and find him In a penitent
mood. When he seizes hold of her, the
Birds com to her rescue.)
THE Giant let go of Peggy's hand
as the Birds attacked him. He had
hard work protecting his eyes and
face from their sharp beaks. Peggy
was afraid that some of the Birds
might get hurt and quickly called off
their assault. 1
"Stop! Stop!" she cried loudly, so
that she could be heard above the
tumult of their wings. "I'm safe I
Let him alone I"
The Birds obeyed quickly. They had
a deep fear of the Giant of the Woods
and had dared attack him only be
cause of their love for Peggy. They
weren't going to let her gat hurt.. But
now that she was safe they got out of
the reach of the Gunt as fast as they
could fly. .
The Giant's face was badly pecked.
It was even bleeding in spots. The
Giant himself was ro astonished that
he didn't seem to mind his hurts.
"Geewhillikerr he thundered. "Of
all the pieposterous convolutions of a
hypochondriacal mentality this is the
most irrationally ridiculous."
"You stop that swearing this in
stant!" ordered Peggy, "or I'll have
you ducked in the river."
"Why, my dear invisible good fairy,
that isn't swearing," protested the
Giant of the Woods. "I'm using per
fectly proper dictionary expletives just
to keep from swearing."
"Well, it sounds awful," argued
Peggy.
"That's just it," insisted the Giant.
"It sounds awful and it has the same
effect as swearing, but it doesn't do
any harm like beer with the alcohol
taken out."
"But why do you do it, then?"
"Because I used to be a real ripping
swearer, explained the Uiant, until
Billy Belgium made me ashamed of
myself."
"Who is Billy Belgium?" asked
Peggy.
Why, he is the Belgium orphan I
adopted."
That must be the curly-headed
bov I saw kissing you when the Wild
Geese kidnaped you.
"The very one!" exclaimed the
Giant "He's the finest kind of a lad

MRS. ED. SHEER EN
GAINED TWENTY-
THREE POUNDS
Sufferina of - Twelve Years
Standing Now Ended and
She Feels Pine.
"I have had a long, hard struggle
with 'ill-health, but by the help of
Tanlac I have at last overcome my
troubles, and have actually gained
twenty-three pounds in weight be
sides," was the interesting and re
markable statement made by Mrs. Ed
Sheeren, of 3311 Fifth street West,
Seattle, Wash., recently.
"Nearly twelve years ago," she con
tinued, "I had a very severe spell
of typhoid fever, which left my nerves
all shattered, and my stomach in an
awful condition. My food would not
digest, but would just lay in my stom
ach and sour and ferment end make
trouble for me. I would often get
up in the mornings nauseated and
was constantly belching up particles
of undigested food. My nerves were
so torn up that I could hardly sleep,
and I suffered with headache night
and day. I had a continual pain
across my back and all down one Bide
of my body, and was down in bed all
last summer, unable to turn my hands
to a thing. I suffered until I was
almost distracted.
"I got down to where I weighed
only one hundred and thirty-four
pounds and kept getting thinner and
weaker all the time. I made up my
mind from what I read in the papers
about Tanlac to try it, and it has
done me more good than I ever ex
pected. My appetite is splendid now,
and I can eat just anything I want
without feeling a sign of indigestion
or sour stomach. My nerves are
strong and steady, I sleep like a
child every night, and get up in the
mornings feeling fine. I have not felt
the pain in my back and side since
shortly after I began taking Tanlac,
and it has built me up until now I
weigh one hundred and sixty-seven
pounds, making an actual gain of
twenty-three pounds. I, of course,
think Tanlac is the grandest medicine
in the world. I have the best of rea
sons for praising it, and hope others
will take it and find relief."
Here is another instance of the
wonderful reconstructive powers of
Tanlac, and Mrs. Sheeren is only one
of many thousands who have taken it
with the same gratifying results.
Tanlac proved of great benefit to her
simply because it contains certain
medicinal properties, which enrich the
blood and promotes a healthy appe
tite for nourishing food, thus help
ing to build up health and strength
in the natural way. Tanlac has been
very successful in overcoming nerv
ousness and sleeplessness, not from a
quieting effect on the nerves, but by
strengthening the nerves and body
and bringing back the normal state
of health through its effect on the ap
petite and nutrition of the bodv.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher
man & McConnell Drug Co., corner
Sixteenth and Dodge streets; Six
teenth and Harney: Owl Drug com
Dany, Sixteenth and Farnam streets;
Harvard Pharmacy, Twenty-fourth
and Farnam streets; northeast cor

"Just a minute," said the . Giant.
"These are wartimes and we have to
be saving. I'm going to put that rat
tlesnake away and save his skin. . I
can mount it and get money for it."
He put the snake in a box and
started along with Peggy. Again she
put her hand in his, and again came
that gentle pressure. The birds hard
ly knew what to make of this; but
they had the utmost trust in Peggy's
wisdom and felt that what she did
was right At the same time they
flew along close behind and were
ready for any hostile move the Giant
might make.
Peggy began to feel tired. It was
hard keeping up with the Giant he
took such long steps. The Giant
seemed to know this.
"Getting tired?" he asked.
"A little," replied Peggy.
The Giant let go of her hand, and
the first thing Peggy knew his long
arras were swinging her high in the
air. Then she came down safely on
the Giant's shoulder. The birds
rushed at the Giant as they saw him
pick Peggy up, but they fell back
when Peggy gleefullv waved them
away. It was a lot of fun to ride on
the Giant s shoulder ne was so tan
and big and strong.
Soon they came out of the woods
and upon the road. Down the road a
short distance was a splendid looking
farm with fine "buildings and neat
fences.
"That would be a fine place to
work I See if you can get a job there."
she advised the Giant "I'll wait
here."
As the Giant strode along toward
the farm. Pegev heard the Sound of
sobbing coming from behind a hedge.
Peering over the top she sa,w two big

"Can't you tell me?" coaxed Peggy.

Half our profits from all wells drilled on our 1,000 acres of Oil
Land at High Island, Texas, and from all wells drilled on our proven
leases in the heart of the Famous Humble Gusher Oil Field will be
divided proportionately among purchasers of $30 quarter-acre tract!
of our High Island property. '
We are simply selling $30 quarter-acre tracts in order to quickly
raise drilling fund to drill on both properties, and we are meeting with
splendid success.
High Island is geologically approved by the U. S. Government
geological experts, and we positively believe we will be successful in
bringing in even greater gushers than have been brought in in practi
cally every county adjoining.
Even should we fail to bring in a single drop of oil at High Island,
we should be certain to make splendid profits for our $30 tract pur
chasers from our proven lease, where we already know we have the oil.
It doesn't require nerve, just good common sense, to decide to in
vest as little as $30 where your investment is so safe, and where the
prospects of making you independent are unlimited. You can buy as
many tracts as you want. One whole acre only costs you $120.
