an Important consideration to me, but
It was secondary to concealment
At last I brought np at the Meuse
river at a place between Namur and
Huy, and It was here that I came near
est of all to giving up the struggle.

San Diego bay. California. Is a mile
and a half wide, and I had often swam
across and back, and the San Jaoquln,
which la also a mile and a half wide,
had never proven an obstacle to me.
In the wretched shape In which I
then was, however, the Meuse looked
like the Atlantic ocean to me. I
looked for a boat, but could find none.
I tried to get a piece of wood upon
which I hoped to ferry across, but I
was equally unsuccessful.
Get across I must, and I decided
there waa nothing to do but to swim.
It was then about 3 o'clock In the
morning. I waded In and was soon
In beyond my depth and bad to swim.
After about an hour of It I was very
much exhausted, and I doubted
whether I could make the opposite
bank, although It was not more tbac
thirty or forty feet away. I choked
and gasped, and my arms and legs
were completely fagged out I sank I
little and tried to touch bottom wltl
my feet, but the water waa still be j
yond my depth.
There are times when everyone will
pray, and I was no exception. I
prayed for strength to make those
few wicked yards, and then, with all
the will power I could summon, struck
out for dear life. It seemed a life
time before I finally felt the welcome
mud of bottom and waa able to drag
myself np to the bank, but I got there.
The bank was rather high and I was
shaking so violently that when I took
hold of the grass to pull myself np,
the grass shook out of my bands. I
could not retain my grip. I was afraid
I would faint then and there, but 1

Is Your Watch Sick?
Didn't know watches got sick? Well, they do.
The balance wheel of a healthy watch makes
18,000 vibrations every hour. But it must be
healthy to do this.
Dirt in your watch makes it sick. It loses energy
and so loses time.
I AM THE WATCH DOCTOR
If your watch Is not fully up to its work, bring it
to me. It may only need the fraction of a drop
of oil, but it must have that or become disabled.
A little speck of dirt in a pinch will make it very
sick.
BRING IT TO ME. I CAN CURE IT.
