am, ag in the doctor $ Ideas, 10 be sure!'
With this triumphant assertion Brown
looked about the circle. Then, lowering his
voice, said: "Boys, I've four of those
precious bottles left-ain't give 'em all
away yet after 1 was cured-an' if you al
think that it would not be too free with the
old man. suppose l go, to his son there on
the poop deck an say what l have to you,
an askin' his pardon, say we want the adj
miral to try the stuff in my bottles, seein'
that they cured my consumption
This idea met with approval from all
sides. Therefore Brown walked off for an
interview with the admirals son, with no
little anxiety in his good heart as to the re-
suit of his mission. Approaching the lieu
tenant, Brown saluted, and asked for per-
mission to state his reasons for doing so.
This was readily granted, and Brown spoke
out.
Seeing that I was once cured of con-
sumption, lieutenant, l make bold to ask
if l can tell you how, an why I've the rea-
sons for wishing you to use on your father
what was my salvation"
In a few moments the lieutenant had
Browns story out. and much to the ~latter's
qualification, granted a ready permission 10
him. 1t did not take Brown long TO run to
his ditty box, get the bottles of medicine,
and return to the lieutenant with them.
"Im afeared that the doctors will kick
ag'in the use of this blessed stuff, an
what will you do, sir" said Brown, as he
placed the medicine in tie cabin orderly's
hands to be taken into the admiral's room.
Il will attend to that, Brown, and rest as
sured that your remedy will have a fair trial
in spite of any opposition. 1t will notharm

"Thank you, sir, an God help the admiral
to weather his trouble, is the prayer of all
the ship" said Brown, as the lieutenant
turned to enter the cabin.

evening. The gale howled through the rig
ging in wild, discordant tones; the great ship
labored through the white-capped noun
tains of water threatened 10 engulph her
with each burst of their storm-whipped
crests. Within the admiral's cabin the Ar
gand lights, the comfortable furniture, and
the numerous evidences of the admiral's
wanderings over land and water, as diaplayed
in choice bric-a-brac and trimmings, gave
to the room a warm, snug appearance, most
pleasing this wild night to those within. In
his stateroom lay the admiral, made COM
Portable by all that loving hands and willing
hearts could suggest. BY his side sat his
son, who in quiet voice was recounting to
his father the interview with Brown. and the
opposition met witt from the doctors when
the idea of giving this new medicine was
preached.
"You were sleeping at the time, father,
and therefore missed q laughable scene,
made so, i'll spite of your condition, by the
intense dislike displayed by the doctors for
this 'new-fangled stuff this patent liquid
which they declared with their consent
should never be given to you. Well, l cut
the matter short by saying that l would take
all the responsibility, and with your pernis-
sion would administer it. That l obtained
when | found you awake, and now you are
under way with the first bottle as per direc-
tions. 1 am satisfied, dear father, that it
will do you good, a premonition filling my
heart that at last we have found the means
of arresting the burning fever and hacking
cough which have been troubling you SO
much"
The admira's reply was cut short by a
severe spell of coughing, during which he
spat blood, and when finished sank back ex-
hausted. But the grateful look which he be-
slowed on his son was an additional assur-
ance of belief in that which the admiral had
at first sight dubbed as a possible but doubt
full me- ms of doing him any good. But lay
ing aside his dislike for any but old-estab-
lished remedies, the admiral acquiesced in
his sons request, and now, after this last
spell, admitted that the effect of the dose
had softened the dreaded severity of the
racking cough. .
Three weeks later found the Nomad max

and prolonged weather she had rounded the
Cape and was now standing i'll the harbor
for the purpose of recoaling and watering.

finite scope for such pursuit. But the source
of each mans happiness flowed from the
same fountain of grateful JOY. The beloved
admiral was the cause of this. And why!
If you could have seen the admiral this
bright morning, dear reader, your nswer

driving him off the field with a power which

with JOY and thankfulness.
What was this then that had won the vic
tory for the seaman Brown, and was nov
leading the admiral's shattered forces to thu
same grand result? When asked this CUES
