"I'm as full of life and energy as
any twenty year old boy since Tan-
lac put me on my feet," said John
E. McLester, well to do farmer,
Route 4, Dallas, Texas.
"I had stomach trouble so bad
day and night for two years I didn'i
know what it was to get any sound,
restful sleep. I had indigestion so
bad I thought I had heart trouble,
but Tanlac has shown me that
everything that was the matter with
me came from my stomach hems
out of order.
"My little boy needed a tonic so
I gave him Tanlac and he has simp
ly been wonderfully benefited. When
it comes to a medicine for both old
and young. Tanlac is in a class by
itself."

once alone, hoping—hoping—"
"That I would say what I have told
you—oh, blessed runaway frolic I" cried
Roy Lawrence rapturously.

PRISCILLA.
THE charming demure name of
l'riscilla signifies "ancient," a
denotation to which it has every
right, since it comes from the very old
Latin. The Prisel, according to Nle-
buhr, were the original Latin tribe
whose name acquired its sense of age
from their antiquity. The most dis-
tinguished Prisci of history was Mar-
cus Porcius Priscus Caton and a
number of the Prtsd are to be found
among the early Roman martyrs.
Whether Prlscllla was the name
given to the daughters of this family
or not is n matter of conjecture. The
first Prlscllla of whom we have rec-
ord was a fellow-worker of St. Paul.
In her honor this feminine form
gained great prevalence In England,
especially among the Puritans.
America, of course, received her
through the charming romance of Prls- I
pllla and John Alden and Oapt. Miles
Standish, where the famous utter-
arce, "Why don't you speak for your-
self. John?" arose.
The vogue of the name as n model j
of demureness and maiden propriety
tvas widespread throughout New Eng-
land and in« beeti much used in song
and story in this country. Rut outside j
of America and England and her early
fame In Rome, Prlscllla has had no
popularity whatever. The abundance
of harsh consonants have made her ,
Impossible of translation Into French
and Spanish, and even Germany re- j
jects her. England, through hatred of
the Puritans, eared little for her. and
she has almost dropped out of exist-
ence there. Only In America does she
still flourUh through the offices of
Longfellow's Immortal poem.
The amethyst Is Priscilla's talls-
manle gem It Is said to control evil
thoughts, to quicken the intelligence
and. according to an old legend, has
a sobering effect- upon anyone intox-
icated from wine or love. Saturday
is Priscilla's lucky day and 4 her
lucky number. The primrose, signify-
ing simplicity, is her flower.

"Miss Perry, I fear we have lost our
reckoning."
Very pleasantly, most confidingly
Helen Perry looked up Into the luce
of Roy Lawrence.
"In fact, I have no idea of the where-
abouts of the yacht," went on tin?
young man.
"And I don't see how I am going to
locate the Neptune."
"I trusted myself to you," said
Helen evenly, the radiant contentment
of her lovely face not abating one
whit. "You will do the best you can.
Why bother?"
Roy Lawrence gave a secret gasp—
surprise, satisfaction, delight. He bad
been glum all that day. He had
brightened up at noontide when Miss
Perry, a twinkle of rash mischief in
her eyes, had suggested that they steal
away from the big yacht In the little
motor boat.
"I don't understand It," murmured
Roy to himself. "She does not wear
the rosette. She has not alluded to
the letter. She was JoUy with the
Glrtons all the morning."
They were two of a party who had
come down from Frisco for a vacation
cruise. Aboard the steam yacht Nep-
tune there had been Harold Glrton,
his sister Netta, Mrs. Bryce, his aunt
and the chaperone of the party, Helen,
the crew and himself.
Both he and Glrton were in love
with the beautiful Helen, who was a
close college friend of Netta. He wrote
Helen a note. In It he avowed his
love in an Impetuous but manly fash-
Ion. The next day was a national
holiday. They were to have quite a
patriotic fete, there along the lonely
South American coast. He enclosed
a pretty rosette.. If she could find It
In her heart to smile on his suit,
would she wear It next morning?
He had slipped the envelope under
the door of the room which Helen
and Netta jointly occupied.
"If Helen does not encourage me,"
he tragically decided, "I shall leave
the Neptune at the next port. I could
not remain and see her won by a
rival."
And the day had dawned and Helen
had appeared. In honor of the day
she wore an underskirt formed of
stars and stripes and two dainty
siiken flags in her hair, but no rosette
and only the same kindly gracious erected above llie remains "1

Then a riotous morning of firecrack-
ers and feasting and music—hut not
for Roy. Ills heart was heavy until
Helen had suggested the runaway
cruise.
A flash of supreme happiness en-
wrapt Roy. He drove the boat
around a cluster of little islands and
gained a free space, but neither up
nor down shore was the yacht visible.
"You see, Miss Perry," he said help- '
lessly, "no sign of the Neptune. Too j
had I"
"The gasoline is giving out," he j
reported grewsomely.
"Then we cannot go much further?"
inquired Helen.
"Less than a mile, probably."
"There is an island with a high
ridge of rocks at one end," suggested
she, indicating the point of view.
"Yes, I see it."
Just barely the engine lasted out I
till the island was reached. Helen i
carried the telescope. Roy shouldered |
a repeating rifle. They left the boat
and began the climb of a narrow ledge
of rock that arose like some monu- <
ment.
| "Why, look 1" suddenly exclaimed
j Helen.
"The mischief!" echoed Roy.

were steadied. A shower of pebbles

At a glance Roy saw what she had
done. Helen linil removed her under-
skirt of stars and stripes. She ran to
the edge of the rock waving the red,

Crusoe. His biography Is a good text-
book for these times. It pictures the
world of industry in its simplest
terms. One man alone on an island,
with nothing but the raw materials of
nature about him, clothes himself,
feeds himself, puts a roof over Ills
head, accumulates property, lives hap-
pily, builds a merchant marine out of
a hollowed log, and finally establishes
communication with the rest of the
world, to Its profit and his own.

by foresight; by self-denial. Crusoe
