Rev. B. M. Bridges
"r"p Gives Facts in
His Case
It Is doubtful If there has ever been
a medicine endorsed by so ninny minis-
ters of the Gospel ns tins Tanlnc. In-
deed, there Is scarcely a faith, creed
or denomination In all the land In
which one, or more, of the clergymen
has not publicly expressed their In-
debtedness to the Premier Preparation
for the benefits they have derived from
Its use.
One of the latest to speak out In
thia connection Is Rev. B. M. Bridges,
a widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N.
C., whose statement follows:
“Tnnlac has given me a good appe-
tite, toned up my system nnd renewed
my strength In such a gratifying way
that I am glad to recommend It to any-
one who Is In a run-down condition.
For ten years past 1 have had such
a severe case of Indigestion that I
could not find anything to eat that
•greed with me. Finally I became
very nervous and could get but very
little sleep or rest.
“It seems that I took nenrly every-
thing trying to get myself right, but
nothing helped me until I ran across
Tanlnc. My nerves are so much better
now that my sleep Is sound nnd re-
freshing. I enjoy my meals nnd hnve
also gnlned weight. I can say from
experience that Tnnlac Is a splendid
medicine and tonic, for It has built
me up wonderfully.”
Tnnlac Is sold by all good druggists.

Jasper. Minn. — “I saw in the paper
•bout Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and took
it because I was hav-
ing such pains in my
stomach and through
my back that I could
not do my work. I
had tried other med-
icines, but none did
me the good that
your Vegetable Com-
pound did. Now I am
able to do all my
work alone while be-

"You’re willing to tnke cure of all
the rest of the gang, chief?”
“Sure,” assented the officer.
“All right. Boys, turn over the
whole crowd to the chief, and I’ll trust
you to see that they're properly
hooked and Jailed. Turn over all the
evidence likewise, except that mall
sack. Have that brought up here, to
this room, and see that the Corridor
outside Is kept guarded. Get me?”
The two saluted. “Yes, sir.”
“Good. Send to the federal build-
ing, find out where there’s an agent
of the Department of Justice, and get
him here. Have him here inside of
fifteen minutes.”
“My dear Grumont, your devotion
to duty Is Roman In spirit,” said Ja-
cliln Fell, lightly. “I really regret that
circumstances so conspire to defeat
you! Why can’t you he satisfied with
bagging so many other victims? You
cun’t hag me—”
“Can’t I?” said Grnmont, taking n
cigar and biting at It. He was cooler
now. “By heavens, Fell, there's one
thing In this country that you and no
other man can reach with any Influ-
ence, political bribery or crooked con-
nections—nnd that's the government
of the United States! You can reach
Judges and senators nnd governors,
but you can't reach the unknown nnd
humble men who carry the badge of
the Department of Justice!”
Fell made a slight gesture.
“Human nature, my dear Grnmont.
It is quite true that I have not estab-
lished this gang of criminals, ns you
call them, without taking proper pre-
cautions. Memphis Izzy. for instance,
lias Influence that reaches far and
wide. So have I. So have others In
the party. I give you my assurance
that your Department of Justice man
will not arrest me.”
Grnmont paled.
Jncliln Fell glanced nt his watch.
“Lucie will lie here at any minute
now,” lie observed. “I suppose your
sense of duty will force you to dis-
close everything to tier?”
' Grnmont merely nodded, tight-
lipped. A knock nt the door, and one
of Ills men entered with the sack of
i mall they had taken as evidence.
“A lady is coming here at any mo-
ment," said Grnmont. “Allow her to
enter."
The other saluted nnd departed.
| "A sense of duty is a terrible thing,”
ami Jncliln Fell sighed. “What about
the oil company? . Are you going to
let Miss Lednnols’ fortunes go to
j wrack and ruin?"
I "Better that," said Grnmont, “than
| to have her profit come through criml-
i mil money nnd means. She’d be the
J first to say so, herself. But I’ll tell
j you this: I'm convinced that there Is
! oil under that land of hers! If she'll
l agree, I’ll put up wlmt money I have
j against her lnnd; we’ll be able to have
| one well drilled ut leust, on the
chance!"
“If It's dry," said Fell, "you'll be
broke.”
“I enn always get work," and Gra-
i inont laughed harshly.
Fell regarded him In silence a mo-
' ment. Then: "I think Lucie loves you,
Krnmont."
A trembling seized Grnmont; a fu-
rious Impulse to shoot the man down
ns he sat. Did he have the baseness
to try nnd save himself through Lu-
cie? Something of his stilled anger
must hnve shown In his eyes, for Jn-
chln Fell laid down Ills cigar and con-
tinued quickly:
"Don't misunderstand. I say that I
think she enres for you; It Is merely
kurmlse on my part. Lucie is one per-
son for whom I’d do anything. I stand
and hnve stood In the place of a par-
ent to her. She Is very dear to me.
1 hnve a special reason for Intruding
bn your personal afTnlrs In this man-
ner, and some right to ask you In re-
gard to your Intentions.”
"I don't recognize any right what-
ever on your part,” said Grnmont,
steadily.
Fell smiled. “Ah! Then you are In
love. Well, youth must be served I”
“I'd like to know one tiling," struck
In Grnmont. “That Is, why you were
so cursed anxious to get something on
my man Hammond! And why you
held the Midnight Masquer affair over
me ns a threat. Did you suspect my
business?"
Fell threw bnck Ills bend nnd
laughed In a hearty amusement that
was quite unrestrained.
“That," he responded, "Is really hu-
morous ! Do you know, I honestly
thought you a fortune-hunter from
Europe? There, I confess, I made n
! grave error."
Without a knock the door opened
nnd I.ucle Lednnols entered. \
“Good evening, stockholders!" she
exclaimed. "Do you know there's a
crowd down In the street—policemen
and automobiles and a lot of excite-
ment?"
"Allow me," said Gramont, taking
her coat and placing n chnlr for her.
“Will you sit down, please? You re-
member that I warned you regarding
a shock that would come; and now I
"’Ust explain." Gramont gravely handed
her Ids commission frfom the gover-
nor, nnd resumed his sent, “When I
say thnt I have come here, not to
attend a meeting of our oil company,
but to arrest Mr. Fell, you will under-
stand. I utn very sorry, Lucie, to
have to tell you all this, for I know
your attachment to him."
"Arrest—you. Uncle Jncliln?" The
girl glanced from the paper to Fell,
wlm nodded. “Why—this Isn't a Joke
of some kind?"
"None whatever, my dear," said
Fell, quietly. “Mr. Gramont Is to be
congratulated. He has discovered that
I wits the head of a large organization
of criminals. Here, If I mistake not,
lire your Department of Justice
friends. Gramont.
A knock at the door, and It opened
to admit one of Gramont's men.
“Here they are, sir—the chief agent
and a deputy. Shall I let them In?"
Gramont nodded. Two men entered
the room, and Gramont dismissed his
own man with a gesture. He saw that
the agents both nodded to Fell.
“Do you gentlemen know this man?”
he demanded, rising.
“Yes," said one of them, regarding
him keenly. “Who sent for us?"
“I did." Gramont gave his name,
nnd handed them his commission. “I
have been investigating a lottery
which has been conducted in this state
for a long time by an organisation
of very clever criminals. Jachln Fell
is the man nt the head of this organi-
zation. The lesser members of the
gang are In custody. The police de-
partment will not arrest this man
Fell; his influence and that of his
gang Is extensive in political fields nnd
elsewhere. I have called up the gov-
ernor, nnd have been told not to arrest
him. I have disregarded these facts,
and I now call upon you to hold him
in custody as u federal prisoner. Now
go to It."
The chief agent laid Gramont's
commission on the table and looked at
Jachln Fell. For an Instant there was
a dead silence. Then, when the fed-
eral man spoke, Grumont was para-
lyzed.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Grnmont, to
have to refuse—’’
"What!” cried Gramont, incredu-
lously. “Do you dure stand there
and—”
"One moment, please,” said Fell, his
quiet voice breaking in. “It Is quite
true that I have organized all the
criminals possible, Mr. Gramont, and

was aware that the agents hud depart-
ed. He was alone with Lucie and Fell,
and the latter was rising and holding
out his hand smiling.
“Gramont, you got nhend of me In
this deal, and I congratulate you with
all my heart I” said Fell, earnestly.
“Neither of us suspected the part
played by the other man! but you've
done the work nnd done It well. Will
you shake hands?”
Gramont confusedly took the hand
extended to him.
"I’ve been n fool," he said, slowly.
"I might have guessed that something
unusunl was—"
"No; how could you guess?” said
Fell. "There are three men in Baton
Rouge who know the truth, and three
persons In this room. That’s all, out-
side of the regular government men.
I had not told even I.ucle, here! I
dared not. And I dare say nothing
even now. To the underworld at large
I will be known ns the crook whom
not even the government could touch;
In days to come I may be of untold
service to my country."
“If you will excuse me one moment,'
lie went on, “I shall speak with your
men who are on guard, Gramont. I—
all—will be back in a moment, and
we may then discuss business. If you
agree, I think that your company may
proceed upon the original lines, nnd
we shall set to work drilling for oil
without delay—”
Gramont scarcely heard the words,
nor did he hear the door close. He
was still looking into the eyes of I.u-
cle I.ednnois, and wondering if the
message they held was really meant
for him.

He Was Still Looking Into the Eyes of
Lucie Ledanois.
have put the underground lottery Into
a systematized form. I have done this
by the authority of the United States,
In order to apprehend Memphis Izzy
Gumberts nnd other men at one crack.
These gentlemen will tell you that I
am a special agent of the Department
of Justice, employed In that capacity
through the efforts of Judge Forester
nnd Senator Flaxman. I regret that
this had to be held so secret that not
even the governor Himself was aware
of it until this evening. Ttie conflict
was quite unavoidable. Not a mem-
ber of that gang must become aware
of my real Identity."
Gramont sank Into his chair, the au-
tomatic dropping from his hand. He
was suddenly dazed, thunderstruck.
Yet he had to believe. He was dimly
aware that Lucie had gone to Jachln
Fell, her arms about his neck. He
stared from unseeing eyes.
Realization smote him like a blow,
numbing Ills brain. He saw now why
the governor had conferred with
Judge Forester nnd the senator, why
he had been ordered off the trail. He
saw now why Fell hnd preserved se-
crecy so great that even to the chief
of police his Impregnable position was
supposedly due to Influence higher up.
He saw how Fell must have been
working month after month, silently
and terribly, to form one compact or-
ganization of the most talented crimi-
nals within reach—headed by Mem-
phis Izzy, the man wlm had laughed nt
the government for years! And he
saw himself furious, raging like n
tundmnn—
Gramont dropped Ills bend into his
hands. The pain of his forgotten
wounded arm stabbed him like n knife,
lie Jerked Ills head sharply up, and
read It! They’ve struck oil-sands

SUN-MAID RAISINS
The Supreme Pie Raisin
Mi-Careme.
A nameless gentleman from the ef-
fete North was enjoying for the first
time the privileges of a guest card at
the Chess and Checkers. In a some-
what perplexed manner he approached
the secretary’s desk and obtained a
cigar. Then he paused, listening to
the sounds of revelry which filled the
club, and which oame roaring in from
the city streets outside.
“Say!” he addressed the secretary.
“What’s this Mi-Careme I’ve been
reading about In the papers, anyhow?
I thought everything was tight as a
elatn down here after Mardi Gras?
It’s still the Lenten season, isn’t it?
Mardi Gras doesn't come more than
once a year? Then what’s all the cele-
bration about?”
The secretary smiled.
"Certainly, sir, it’s still Lent. But
the French people have what they call
Mi-Careme, or Mid-Lent, and they cer-
tnlnly give it a big celebration! You
see, it’s a night halfway through Lent,
when they can enjoy themselves to
the limit—let off steam, as It were.
We're having several dinner parties
here In the club tonight, for the occa-
sion.”
A slightly built little man. who had
much the air of a shy clerk—had it
not been for his evening attire—ap-
proached the desk. He signed a check
for a handful of cigars, which he
stowed away.
"Please provide a fresh box later,”
he said to the secretary. “Most of
my party Is here, I believe.”
"I’ll send them up, Mr. Fell,” an-
swered the secretary, quickly. ‘"Yes,
I think the dining room Is all ready
for you, sir. By the way, Mr. Gramont
was looking for you a moment ago—
ah ! Here he comes now I”
Jachln Fell turned. Gramont was
plunging nt him, a yellow telegraph
form In his hand, excitement In his
eyes.
“Look here,'Jachln ! Tills wire just
came in from Hammond—you know,
left him In charge of things down at
Bayou Terrebonne! Read It, man—

[THE END ]
Typographical Error Cost Life.
A typographical error once cost
woman her life. Shortly after the In
vention of printing, a German prlntei
working on nn edition of the Bible
entrusted to his wife the setting up ol
the type for n portion of the Book ol
Genesis. There Is a sentence In Gene-
sis. describing Eve’s duty to Adam,
which runs “He shall he thy Lord.
The German word for Lord is “Herr"
and that for fool Is "Narr." The
printer's wife changed the "e" to
nnd, In the crude type of that period,
the capital “H" looked exactly like an
“N." The sentence consequently rend.
“He shall be thy fool."
Many copies of the book got Into
circulation before the error was dis-
covered. The ecclesiastical authori-
ties were so enraged at what they con-
sidered the woman's Impiety that they
condemned her to the stake.
Jamestown, La.—“I suffered with my

years old now and my health is very
