That is why she buys Zam-Buk when in need of a houdeffold balm--because she knows that it will give better results, last longer, and keep betier than any ordinary ointment. A small quantity of Zam-Buk will give better results than many times that quantity of an ordinary ointment. It is, therefore, not only best, but most economical. Besides, as Zam- Buk contains no animal fat it ean- not turn rancid, and remains per- fectly good to the last application. Zam-Buk's superiority ie due to t fact that it is all medicine, whereas ordinary ointments "con- tain a large proportion of animal fat and a small percentage of medicine. Zam-Buk is not only soothing and heuing, ut is germicidal. This makes it invaluable as a " first-aid." An application of Zam-Buk to a wound as soon as sustained will pre- vent all danger of bloed-poisoning. Zam-Buk is splendid for eczema, ringworm, scalp sores, ulcers, ab- scesses, old wounds, blood-poison- ing, pimples, boils and piles, as well as cuts, burns, scalds, bruises, and all skin injuries.

All of us| sooner or later find ourselves in pos-| itfons where our calm judgment de-| serts us and we do ridiculous things when it wbuld be much easier and; / 2 { simpler ahd more logical for us to do the sensible thing, | So it was with me as I drove my car at perilous speed toward the city, striving with all my might and at/ the risk of my neck to escape the madman and his minions in my wake How much more reasonable would it have been had 1 watched for my chance, and when one of the many groups of automobilists ap proached stopped them and appealed' to them for protection Almost! every minute 1 passed a carful of people, any one of whom would have | responded to my appeal. But I did not think of asking their protection The one wild thought which obsessed me was to flee from that terrible car behind me; to escape that mad- man who sought to take me back to my prison chamber. Each moment I risked breaking my neck in a col- lision or from other accident, and though it was the proper thing to do, if indeed 1 did any thinking at all about it. It did not occur to _me that it was an unusual thing for me to be doing, or for my pursuers to be do- ing, but the sight of me fleeing and of Harry Pendleton's car behind me must have caused no end of aston- ishment to the pleasure seekers we passed, and unlimited 'rage to the motoraycle men who saw us but could not stop the rushing cars. Had 1 suddenly been halted and had Harry Pendleton come up and made his claim that T was an escaped lunatic he probably would have been given all the credence in the world, for at that time I must have appeared anything but a sane woman. My hair was flying about my head, my face was begrimed with dust, my clothing was disarranged and my eyes must have been as wild as those of any women out of her senses. But no thought of these things came to me. One idea, and one idea only, | {had not counted made no record of distance travers- ed One minute migat jhave been an hour or a second for all I knew, and I might have traveled a hun- dred yards or fifty miles as far as 1 could tell All that 1 knew was that the wind rushed past my head and that I must escape. 1 tried once or twice to look back but danger seon became 100 great, I was going at such speed that all my faculties were required to keep me on my course, Once I as the got a fleeting glimpse of my pur- suers and noticed that they were not far behind I also saw something bright flash back the rays of the dy ing sun, but I did not know what it was until I saw my windshield go to pieces before my very Then something very musical, something which made a noise such as a sing- ing bee (if there were such thing) might make, passed my ear. Then 1 knew that some one was firing a revolver at me, but whether it was Harry Pendleton and his crew of cutvaroats or mo'orcycle patrolmen 1 could not tell., But whoever held the revolver was a good shot, for the top of my roadster was pierced in several places and the bullets were whirling very close to my head, "He would not dare!" I muttered between my clenched teeth as I thought of Harry Pendleton seeking to injure me, But I did 'not know to what ex- tremities his distorted mind would drive him, or what wild tales he had told his henchmen to cause them to fire at me, an' innocent and in- bffensive woman, whose only fault was that she had considered her life sweet enough to fight for it. But if they thought to frighten me into stopping they were much mistaken. The knowledge that they were driven to desperation spurred me on to greater effort as I fed gpas- oline into my car and urged it on to greater speed. Then something happened which I upon, I felt a stinging sensation at my left temple and something moist and warm trickled down my cheek. Then everything turned. black before my eyes.

Fourteen of the vessels would have carried pas- sengers and United States mails, The heaviest sufferer has been Holland. Agents here of lines flying the Dutch flag reported today that 26 vessels which would have sailed under conditions prevailing prior to February 1st, are tied up at their docks or have been detained at Hal- ifax for examination. Ten" freight ships of neutral nations, classed as tramps, also are held here awaiting orders to sail, The American Line, whieh now has its entire fleet of six passenger ships in port, has missed eight sail- ing dates, and all passenger traffic to Europe other than that carried by vessels of the Entente Allles and Spain has been suspended, the same conditions prevailing for west bound passenger traffic, » The number of ships of the En- tente Allies departing from New York during the period from Feb- ruary 1st to Mggch 5th Is shown by port records to be 20 ships less than sailed between December 29th.and January 31st, CANADIAN BATTALIONS MAKE GALLANT RAID German Casualties Are Meavy, But Dominion Troops Also Suffered Losses. London, March 8.--It was just after dawn one day last week that four Canadian battalions set out to make an attack on an eminent land- mark in France, The four battal- fons represented Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Kootenay. The at- tack was initiated as usual by a heavy barrage by our artillery, dur- ing which the Boche lay low, but at a certain point he jumped up and operated a number of machine guns, which was 'chiefly responsible for the Canadians' rather héavy casual- ties, though a veering wind also caused trouble with our gas attack. The Boche did not have it all his own way, but suffered heavily dur. ing our rush...
