Philadelphia were riding from Plaats
ville to WaCerbury. Coon. Miss Com
?took wa> driving the ear, anil Miss
Gould was sitting beside her. The ma
chine was moving at about ten mile*
an hour, and the passengers were talk
ing ga.? ly.
Suddeulv Miss Comstock gave a pierc
lug ,-hriek. shrank away from the dash
board and fainted. No oue knew what
had hippeued to her, but there was ?
more serious need thau tliidiug out.

but smusbed it with u side blow ?.nd
swung it across the road, the automo
bile driving Into a stone fence so hurd
that It was put out of commission.

and her companions, who had been se
verely Jarred when the automobile
dashed Into the fence, gave all their at
tention to her. She was put Into anoth
er vehicle and taken to the nearest

tree or had beeu tossed up by the

and this she later confirmed. MIsb
Uould almost fainted when she learn
ed that she had been tramping around
ou the snake.

exclaim, "My CJod, I'm shot!" The
man sank back iu his seat pallid, and
the passengers clustered around him,
thiuking some miscreant had tired Into
the car. although no shot was heard.
"1 feel my blood slowly ebbing away.
It Is way down my arm." said Elliott,
lie put his hand in. placed It on his
arm. groaned and pulled It out again
covered with? perspiration. The con

T? Fight Acalnat Dlneaae Unless They

To treat Dandruff, and Falling Hair,
with Irritants or oils on which a para
sitic germ will prosper. Is like scooping
water from the ocean to prevent the tide
from rising.
You cannot accomplish a satisfactory
cure without having a right understand
ing of the fundamental causes of tho
trouble.
You must kill the Dandruff Oerm.
Newbro's Herplclde does this because It
Is specially made to do that very thing.
When the germ Is removed, the hulr
has no choice but to resume healthy
growth and beauty.
