PV “When you have a sharp pain be- ! tween the solar plexis and the ob- longata thorax, look out!” bawled a strident voice. The tones echoed blatantly over the ' village green. For over half an hour a wandering medicine fakir had been | descanting upon his nostrums to a curious crowd who drank in his big words and amazing statements. Smug, rotund, lingering on the out- skirts of the crowd, John Moore smiled complacently to himself. “None of that in me!” he chuckled. “I reckon he can’t sell me any of his sugar and water humbugs.” “When you feel dizzy-headed, pal- pitation, difiiculty in breathing, ngain —look out! They may lead to serious ' complication, Be warned in time. The I. X. L. Sure Cure will protect you.” A thin dyspeptic man stepped up and purchased a bottle of the much mooted elixir of life. Then, despite some further forcible talk of the ven- der, sales went slow. He began to! | traverse more explicit lines. He; painted a dismal picture of ill health. As symptom after symptom was!' named, with a proud and positive | smile John Moore kept tab on them. “Guess I'm a well and husky speci- men if I did have rheumatism once,” gloated the old fellow, and was about | to remove his well-fed and well-satis- fied self from the vicinity, when t.hel medicine vender, growing deqpemto at the lack of interest and inv estment | as to his wares and their boasted vir- ; tues. named new “symptoms.” Then | he came to a sudden stop, indeed a startled halt. ! “There is another line of symp-| toms,” declared the faker solemnly.' “They apply to fatal diseases,” and he named several cancerous distresses of the human family. “What is the pre- \ ventative?

He remained in his own room, groaning and desperate. He had got hold of several medical works. While the “prickly sensation™ described by the medicine faker was not named, the terrors of the disease were. Moore was convinced that he had! it and had it bad. For several months, whenever any unaccustomed pressure came upon a certain part of his back a sharp stinging pain re- sulted. Oh, it was there! He was going to die! He felt it, he knew it, and he told his daughter Ruth so. He was so distressed and positive that she became alarmed. “I don't see why you don’t send for a doctor,” she said. “Who shall I send for?" snapped the irritated invalid. “There's only Doctor Parton and—none of him, rm if I die for it!

When a French aviator descended near that city, the first to be seen there, the in- habitants offered to buy two aero- planes for the army if two officers would fly from the Bosporous to the | Holy land. The offer was accepted by Enver: Pasha, minister of war, who at once began to form a flying corps, and de- | cided on a flight from Constantinople to Alexandria, that Turkish oI!Icer" 3 might show themselves as bold and | skilful as Europeans.
