REV. DUNN FEELS IT
HIS DUTY TO TELL
onus EXPERIENCE
-Wants Others to Be Benefited
By His Statement; Gains
- Fifteen Pounds by Tak
ing Tanlac.
Rev. J. H. Dunn, pastor of the
Church of Christ, at 2110 East Sec
ond Ave., Spokane, Wash., and re
sidnr; at 724 West Sharp Street, is
still another In this high calling
j whose deep sense of gratitude and
desire to help others will not per
mit him to remain silent regarding
the wonderful benefits he has de
rived from the use of Tanlac.
"Tanlac has not only relieved me
"f my ten years' suffering," said
Rev. Dunn, recently, but it has
, built me up wonderfully, as I have
, grained fifteen pounds in a month's
time by taking it. My stomach was
, in such a disordered cendition that
I could not eat without suffering
' lreat pain. My food felt like lead in
ny stomach and I would expel sour
" gas with almost every breath. Those
who diagnosed my case told me I
had cancer of the stomach, and my
arorry and physical suffering com
bined were extreme. My head ached
constantly, and I continually lost in
weight strength and energy. I spent
around $300 for medicines of vari
ous kinds, but got no benefit and
ny condition was inded distressing.
"I finally bought Tanlac on the
strength of high endorsements and
my first bottle made a marked
:hange in my feelings. So I bought
another and then other,, and now I
am just like a new man. Before I
took Tanlac I could not eat apples on
account of the suffering the acid
caused me, but now I can eat any
number of them. In fact, I can eat
iust anything now without the least
discomfort afterwards. A medicine
that will help anyone out of such a
Ion? term of suffering and set them
right is certainly well worth recom
mending to the public. It gives me
pleasure to do what I can for my
fellow man, and as Tanlac has been
at such great benefit to me, and not
only to. me, but also a number of
my friends, I can conscientiously
recommend it to everybody."
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by all
Sherman & McConnell Drug Com
loapy's stores, Harvard Pharmacy
and West End Pharmacy under the
: personal direction of a special Tan-
lac representative. Also Forrest

The sports models designed for
wear at fashionable winter resorts
are showing slight changes from
similar models of last year. A diver
sion in belts and pockets or collars
is all that is permitted, because the
line of supreme simplicity for sports
clothes has been reached and, hap
pily, has been maintained. A charm
ing model of Copenhagen blue silk
poplin is illustrated in this sports
coat and skirt. The lines of the
cQat are straight, the fullness being
held by a high belt, which ends in a
novel finish of dull blue wooden
beads. The same beads outline the
pockets and trim the revers. A
knife-pleated collar of white crepe
de chine attached to a blouse of
the same material falls over the
blue revers. The skirt of this
costume is severely plain, showing
a lapped front closing. A delight
fully youthful hat of ivory white
satin is embroidered with orange
and wool floss.

(Peggy, transformed Into a wisp C
steam, Is sent by the Spirit of Safety to
guard a sick engineer of the Night Flyer.
While the train Is running at full speed, a
dark figure suddenly appears on the track
ahead.)
CHAPTER IV.
Peggy Looks for a Ghost.
PEGGY held her breath as the
Night Flyer rushed on to
ward the,, dancing figure on
the rails. Why didn't it jump aside?
In a moment the speeding train
would hit it and then an awful
tragedy.
Engineer Bill put on the brakes
so quickly that the wheels shrieked
and the Hyer bucked and shook in
its efforts to stop. Teggy closed
her eyes to avoid seeing what she
felt was about to happen.
Then she felt the brakes suddenly
released and the train sped ahead
again. Had the figure leaped aside
or had the train struck it. Peggy
opened her eyes and looked ahead.
She could scarcely believe what she
saw. The figure was still there in
the glare of the headlight there
just as far ahead of No. 337 as
when i: had first flashed into view.
And yet the Flyer was again going
at a mile-a-minutc rate or faster.
What human could race along at
that speed? Or was it a human?
Ferhaps it was a goblin or a ghost.
Peggy, leaning over Engineer
Bill's shoulder to get a better look
at the strange apparition, saw that
he was trembling violently.
"I am seeing things," she heard
him mutter. "I. am delirious.
There's nothing on the track. It's
just a mad fancy of my poor sick
head. If there was anything there
I'd be over with it by now. I must
go on, regardless of everything
the Night Flyer cant be late.
Through a town they flashed and
the dancing figure vanished. Peggy
breathed a sigh of relief. So did
Engineer Bill, wiping the sweat of
nervous dread from his forehead.
Even though it was a ghost, it was
a horrible thing to have it dancing
there ahead of the train and to feel
that at any moment it might be un
der No. 337's grinding wheels. .
Out into the country again, flie
Flyer gaining fresh speed gyery
second to make up for the time lost
when Engineer Bill applied the
brakes. There was nothing in the
way now.
But suddenly, out of nowhere, ap
peared the dancing figure. Right in
the middle of the tracks it swayed
and jigged and frolicked. Instinc
tively, Engineer Bill's hand went to
the air, and Peggy felt the brakes
grip. And just as quickly Bill re
covered himself and the train
leaped onward.
Fred, the fireman, was throwing

fresh coal into the glowing firebox,
when the jar of the brakes hurled
him against Bill's seat, and he
bumped his head smartly.
"What's the matter?" he yelled
angrily, as he rubbed his bruised
head. "Still seeing things?"
Engineer Bill opened his mouth
angrily, to answer, but instead of re
plying, he shut his lips tightly, and
turned all his attention to his work.
Fred glared at him a moment, then
returned to his care of the fire.
But Peggy noticed that while
Fred had been angry because lie
bumped his head, he was secretly
exulting. She caught an evil sneer on
his face, and she saw his lips form
words. What he said to himself
was:
"It's getting him! He will be a
wreck before we go another 50
miles! Then I'll get my chance to
drive the Night Flyer."
Peggy's' wits jumped quickly to
attention. Fred was at the bottom
of the mystery of the dancing figure.
It was a part of his plot against the
sick engineer.
Once she had jumped to this con
clusion. Peggy's brain worked
briskly. She must expose Fred's
work and save the engineer. But
what was there to expose? How
could Fred be responsible for that
ghostly dancer far ahead in the
glare of the headlight?
Peggy remembered now what
Fred had said: "I'll give him some
thing to see that will drive him
crazy." She remembered how Fred
had left the cab at the junction.
What had he done in that moment?
Peggy was determined to see, and
as the train was now slowing down
at the station of a large town, she
decided not to waste any time. She
was going to inspect the ghostly
dancer.
When the train halted, she floated
out of the cab and to the front of
the engine. Far up the tracks she
went to the distance at which the
fantastic figure had kept its place.
There was no figure there now. 1 All
was bright and clear in the glare of
headlight and street lights. ;
Puzzled, and a little disappointed,
Peggy turned back toward the loco
motive. Then, as she looked up into
the dazzling ray of No. 337's great
electric eye, she made a discovery,
a discovery that cleared up the
mystery in a flash.
(Tomorrow will be told what Peggy
finds and how she helps Engineer Bill
drive the Flyer.) .

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Unhappy Family Situation.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 19, but
appear to be a man of over 21. In
business I made several friends, one
young lady in particular, who is two
years my senior. AVe live but a few
doors from each other and our
friendship became such that we are
together more than we are parted.
Jly mother abused me for this
friendship and when the girl found
out what had happened she Just had
to weep.
Though I have made many
friends, 1 am not allowed to go any
where. Almost all my evenings are
spent either in business or at home.
How can I help myself, besides
talking nicely and trying to explain
my honest convictions? H. J. S.
If you are self-supporting it might
be Just as well, since you are man
grown, for you to find lodging out
side your own home, for a while at
least. But if you are dependent on
your parents you will doubtless have
to continue to make concessions t
them. It is, of course, extremely
painful, since you are a young man
of high principles, for your mother
to misinterpret a friendship of yours,
but since the young lady herself is
not alienated, that is really the im
portant thing, isn't it? And some
times a friendship maintained under
difficulties is stronger for that very
reason.
Is Timid with Girls.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I ant nn in
ventor of 21, bashful and timid with
women. From childhood I have
cared little for them, and for this
reason I have not been able to at
tract the attention of some honest
girl who would love me. I take
more interest in thinking and devel
oping new ideas than in going with
girls to dances and having a good
time. Then I am very fond of a
cousin of mine, who is 17, an attrac
tive girl, and I believe she is Just the
SKINNER'S
kind of young lady who could be my
wife. But the majority of people
say that marrying a cousin is a great
mistake. I have not asked or prom
ised this girl anything, but the way
she acts makes me think that she
cares a great deal for me. Now,
dear Miss Fairfax, do you think it is
proper to marry a cousin?
If you and this young girl were
deeply in love with each other, the
fact of your being cousins might
constitute a real problem. But since
you evidently are not, why not avoid
the problem altogether? You are
still very young. Wait till you have
known more girls and really feel the
need of love and marriage in your
life. When you are actually in love
you will not feel the uncertainty that
you do now.
Stepsister a Rhal.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am 17 and
turn to you for advice, as I have no
mother. I have a stepsister one
year my Junior who was at a board
ing school all her life, but has now
come to my home. Now that she is
here, I have introduced her to every
boy that came to take me out. anil
many times I took her along. Thev
seemed to fall in love with her (each
and every one) as soon as they were
introduced to her, and now they take
her out instead of me. She is verj
pretty and has a way about her thai
drives them crazy, and it is breaking
my heart. Do you think it will be
right of me to have the boys meet
me downstairs instead of coming up
stairs? I am ashamed to tell mj
sisters and brothers that I am Jeal
ous. G. J. S.
It seems to me that you are a verj
honest girl, G. J. S., both with your
self and with others. And I don't
think it would be in keeping with
your character to meet your boy
friends outside the house. I would
not try that. Try your best to treat
the boys just as you did formerly.
This infatuation over a very pret;
girl is quite natural, but I doubt ii
it lasts long, and it is quite possible
that your friends are perfectly loya:
to you In their hearts. Be patient
and see whether this isn't true.
