The
PART TWO.
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
After calming himself down with
the aid of a cigar, the Major resumed:
“A great deal of emphasis has been
placed on so-called ‘German Efficien
cy/but I want to Say to you, Colonel,
that German efficiency is, in view of
the tremendous stress that has been
placed upon it, distinctly a false
, alarm. If Germany had been one-
fourth as efficient as she is credited
with being, the army of the Kaiser
should have been in Paris within 60
days of the invasion of Belgium. In
stead of that being the case, the
mighty empire of loudly acclaimed ef
ficiency has not been able to get
there in three years. Germany has
been, as €rtry student of’current his
tory well knows, diligently preparing
for this war for forty years, and what
is more, Germany started the war
when her preparation was complete,
when she was entirely ready, and net
one minute before. Te that extent

IHLs came about from the fact that

that boasted efficiency during the
first year of the war when the armies
of France and England were at the
mercy of any really efficient enemy?
And what was this great efficiency
army doing in that while? Why, it«
was digging itself into trenches, and,

could take the chain gang of any coun

to bother or molest the Germans at
that work, and, therefore, they are
today in very stout and protective cy
clone cellars. Being afraid to go a-

A Railroac^cr , s Yarn.
By Edith Bernard Data an. ef The Vigilante*.
Hike S rune Number — on Harper's Ferry wbra the yellew mud
was boiling down underneath like aa
if all Niagara was let looee. Got as
far aa Cumberland, and received or
ders to leave the train there and take
my engine back and run her out on the
Harper's Ferry Bridge and leave her
there Yea, air, LEAVE HER THERE.
I didn't believe those order* were
straight until 1 found out that every
other big engine anywhere within
reach of the bridge had gotten the
same. Well, we did it; the bridge was
^crammed full of engines, all the
tracks would hold, by nightfall.
44 It wasn’t until I got back to Balti
more, some days later, after the flood
had gone down, that I got wind o’ the
way it happened. John M. King was
V. P. in those days, and a better rail
roader never lived, bar^ione. He hap
pened to be in charge at the central
building right then, and reports of
floods kept coming in and coming in,
and everybody got more and more
worried. One bridge after another
went down, one mile of track after
another was washed out. Finally
some fellows from the Maintenance of
Way ruahed in and said Harper's Fer
ry bridge would sure be the next to go.

the B A O An old timer is Mike, and
proud of it. Could have bad a job
with the Brotherhood any time for
^^ar» past, but doesn't think he'd c«-
life unless he could see it from n
cab window. Might have been G. M.
if he’d had more book-learning; but
Mike doesn't miss that—plenty of
man-sense to make up for it And
he’s friends with everybody; call four
railroad presidenta by their first
names, and they say the Old Man him
self asks Mike's advice at times.
There's been a good deal of talk
# ‘"‘N -
lately among the men .about these
Liberty Bonds, and Mike’s a friend of
’em. He was leaning out of his car
window in Camden Station the other
day, and another engineer, who is
known among the boys as something
of a tight-wad was leaning out of his,
a couple of tracks over.
44 Going to buy one of these new
Liberty Bonds, Bill?” Mike asked.
44 I am NOT,” said Bill, so's you
couldn't mistake what he meant. “I
1 keep my money in a savings bank.
That's good enough for me. How'd
I know this country'll win the war?
Who d*you reckon will give me back
the money on a Liberty Loan Bond if
Germany wins, hey? No, sir, I guess
> the savings bank will carry me along
for a while longer!" ; .
Mike scratched his ear and grinned;
he has a catching sort of grin, has
Mike. "Bill fcdson,” said he, "you re

King thought a minute, then gave or
ders that every heavy engine the
bridge would hold should be run out
on her end LEFT. They thought
King was crazy, but they didn't know
him. ‘Why, Mr. King, there's ne use
sending all that new rolling stock
with the bridge,’ said one man. King
just gave him a look. ‘If the Harper's
Ferry bridge goes down, son/ said be,
4 We won't need the rolling stock.’

was on the throttle and he’d got his
signal to poll out, “the Harper's Fer

The Victrola is the embodiment of all that is best in Music.
The excellence of any talking-machine can be safely judged by the artists who make records for it—by the
music it brings into your home.
’ ThA Victrola stands supreme among musical instruments because of its wonderful musical achievements—
because it brings to you the exquisitely beautiful interpretations of the worid’s greatest artists.
Just as there is but one Caruso, one Farrar, one Galli-Curci, one Gluck, one Kreisler, one McCormack, one
Melba, one Paderewski, so there is only one instrument able to bring their superb art into your home with absolute
fidelity. *
The greatest artists themselves have decided that instrument is the Victrola. ^ /
To all my friends in Barnwell County I will prepay express to your station. Drop me a poet card for particu
lars if terms are desired. .
Many imitations of the genuine Victrola are on the market Don’t buy an imitator, boy the real Victrola.
