again the rope was flung across the
dark waves.
One more struggle, a few more
strokes-and now with benumbed fin
gers and breath coming in choking
gasps, he seized the rope, felt the mer
hauling him to the boat.
Two hours later, when he was able
to tell his story, he found he was on
a whaling ship, bound for Alaska; but
the kind captain soon turned the prov
If his vessel and headed for Sitka.
Three days later, Dane, with a cry
joy, grasped the hand of the pro-
'ssor, who, in his delight at seeing the
10Y alive, fairly sobbed with joy.
And Harry-well, the lucky rascal
was in the other boat, which managed
to steer clear of the floating iceberg
But Dane, poor fellow! had met with
an experience which would last him a
lifetime, as many bright moonlight

ment think he was on an iceberg drift.

ing like a sledge hammer, and his
breath coming IN heavy gasps, he fran
tically attempted to clutch jagged
rift of ice at his side.
Thank God! This time he succeeded,
for the ice held firm, and then slowly,
step by step, he finally managed to Sc
cure a firm foothold on the floating
iceberg.

been deluged with a showery spray
from the overturned boat, he gazed
aboSt him, and perceived he was al
most imbedded behind huge snow.
bank that lowered on top of the ice
berg, completely cutting off his view
of The capsiZed boat, and the steamer
in the distance beyond.
Frightened by his position, he ut
tered a loud shout, hut in the booming
of the icebergs his cry was lost. He
then attempted to climb to the top of
the snowbank, but it was slippery
work, and when he finally gained the
TOP he was miles and miles away from
the steamer, which began to look like
a spec in the distance.
Again he called aloud, but there was
no answer; and his iceberg bore stead
lily on her course toward the open
sea; but he kept on shouting until he
was utterly exhausted. He now be-
gan to realize his peril, for undoubt-
edly the sailors had failed to see his
flying leap, and would report him
drowned, so all chance of rescue from
the ship would be gone. He would
swim to the shore, but as he glanced
about him he realized the impossibility
of such a feat, for the iceberg, drift

out from shore, but he would be
Knocked senseless by the immense
bodies of floating ice in the bay.
The air, which had been warm and
5almy, now seemed TO grow sharp and
cold, and then the long twilight glow
faded into the shades of night. Dimly
in the distance Dane could discern the
snowy hood of Mount Fairweather
looming to his right, while on his left

The numerous papyri unearthed
some time ago by Messrs. Grenfel and
Hunt from the ancient city of Oxyr-
hyncus, Egypt, are being gradually de-
ciphered. One of them, letter from
Il boy, evidently a petted darling, to
his father, sounds strangely modern,
though il is at least 1,6o0 years old:
"Theon to his father Theon, greeting.

clined to see the sport rs his friend,
"Oh, Uncle Dick won't care. We
can't come to grief, and he's too busy
talking with the senator 10 mind what
we are up to-"
"All right! It's CO." called out
Harry a moment later, as he rejoined
his companion. "Uncle Dicks head is
buried in the clouds, and he's walking
on air. / don't believe he knew what
l was talking about, but he said we

just before the boat dropped down
the bay dark figure was seen to slide
swiftly down the rope, and, with a
hasty jump, land in the foremost boat.
II was Dane, who, a moment later, saw
Harry come flying down behind him
amid the loud hurrahs of the sailors,
| and give a quick leap into the nearest
boat, the one in the rear. But it was
too late for Harry to rectify his mis-
| take, for the first boat had already
| swung clear of her moorings, and with
| dip of the oars was skimming lightly
over the water to the sides of the bay.
A row of a couple of miles brought
the boat into a small cove, where sew
eral immense bodies of ice had
grouped themselves, apparently, into a
solid mass. Steering to good-sized

the upper crust of snow that covered

sparkling blocks, which were quickly
landed in the bottom of the boat. For
some time Dane stood silently watch.
ing the men, but presently he grabbed
a pickax and set 10 work as hard as
any of the sailors.
Suddenly loud boom sounded in his
ear, followed by 4 terrible roaring
noise; he heard a sailor give a SHARP
cry and looked up just in time to see
huge iceberg that had suddenly
broken from a mass of bergs nearby
bearing down upon them with light
ming like speed. Horrified, Dane stared
wildly about him, realizing that In {
seconds time their little boat would
be swamped, laden as she was will
stupendous blocks of ice.
Another moment and the iceberl
had struck the boat, but simultaneous
ly with the crash of shivering timber
Dane made a flying leap and landed il
bed of snow on top of the moving
mass. But the bed of snow proved t.

A tailor in Chicago accidentally swallowed
needle and died as result OF the inham-
nation set up by the small needle. Little
things have frequently great power, as is
seen in few small doses of the famous Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which. however,
has an entirely different effect from the
needle in this notice. The Bit.crs make
nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and
well again. They are also good for dyspepsia
and constipation.
