sand, one in a million. The people on
the shore ran headlong toward the
breakwater With the darkness of
night settling around him Dan Gra-
ham gathered up his strength for one
supreme effort.
I Old Gabe's cabin was stronger than
anybody could have credited. The
framework held together amazingly.
| The floor crumbled and floated away
beneath his feet, but the sinews of age
still enabled Gabe to grasp with a
/ drowning mans clutch the frame of
. the window
/ In van Dan urged him to draw him
self up and drop into the bow OF the
( skiff Afterward Gabe told how, see
I ing the old man either could not or
would not loosen his grasp on the win
dow sill. Dan dropped his oars, reach
, ed forward and lifted old Gabe by
/ main strength out Of the window and
4 deposited him in the bottom of the
skiR
At that moment n tree trunk struck
/ the skiff The jar almost knocked
Dan into the river. He recovered his
| balance, however, and turned the
boats head shoreward.
And now it was n pull for life. The
/ blackness of cloudy night enveloped
him. His sole guide was the light on
the lot in front Of the postotfice. And
| how could he gauge distance by that?
He might be above. opposite or far be-
low the breakwater. Was he half

pended upon his distance from the
| shore
He felt as if every moment must be
| his last effort. His temples throbbed.
| His muscles, now so rigid might relax
any moment Human endurance could
not last much longer. Then a voice
shouted his name.
Dan! DAM"
He dared not answer If he could. All
his breath was required to make the
| breakwater.
"Ho-oo-ooo. Dan! This way. I'm
| here-DOllyi Dan"
A few more strokes, and he beard
| laugh that made him shudder.
"Oh, thank God-thank God! I'm
here, Dan. This way, Dan"
Then he knew he was above the
breakwater He looked around. He
| could barely discern Dolly in the dark
ness. Voices were heard on the shore.
Catch the pole, Dan-quick."
| Another pull, then Dan reached out
hand and grasped the pole. AS he
| grasped it a heavy lOg struck the skiff.
| The next moment he was in the water.
| Dolly shrieked. Dan put his left arm
under old Gabe and struck out with
his right, contending now with the
| hungry waters for old Gabe's life.
"Save yourself" said Gabe. But Dan
compressed his lips and swan to Dol
| ly's side. Dolly held her pole out until
| he had a firm grasp on it. With Won
derfuI presence of mind he swan be-
low the waterlogged fat Dolly had
pushed out from the shore. Now 9th
ers were near at hand, crying out to
| them to take heart; help was at hand.
When Dolly Worth stepped out of
| the fat, she was greeted with cheer.
| Torches were flaming now; women
| were there, too-women with tears in
their eyes-and big, rough men were
there, whose eyes were moist as they
| grasped Dan Graham's hands. They
| were proud of the "stay at home"

A curious and not uncommon effect
Of lightning is the formation Of certain
arborescent or treelike marks upon the
body. By early observers they were
believed to be due to the presence OF
neighboring objects, which were pho
tographed upon the skin. Various ex-
plantations were offered by different au-
thorities. Richardson has shown by ex-
pertinent that the blood is the best elec-
trical conductor Of all human tissues
and that these marks are merely the
impressions Of the blood vessels on the
skin, due to the action Of the lightning
on the blood In the vessels.-Exchange

Fear.

Fear causes more disease than do
microbes, more deaths than famine,
more failures than panics; 1t costs
more than war, is always failure and
is never necessary. Fear weakens the
hearts action, induces congestion, in
vites indigestion, produces poison
through decomposing foods and Is thus
the mother Of autopoisoning, which Ell
ther directly causes or greatly aids In
the production of quite 80 per cent Of
all our diseases.-G. +. Meacham, NJ.

The cntnlra For Prairie Planting

inc UT
At the recent Illinois state horticul-
tural meeting l was especially inter
ested in hearing my favorite tree (Ca-
talpa speciosa2 recommended as one of
the very best for general planting. l
wish all farmers living on the prairies
could know the value of this tree and
how easily it can be raised from seed.
Twelve years ago | bought one ounce
of catalpa seed, planted it in a bed in
the garden, and before long l had all
the trees l could use. Many of these
were transplanted to various parts Of
the farm, and / find that there is moth
ing better for shade or for producing
poles and posts. When not crowded,
they make beautiful trees. spreading
about as much as an oak or maple,
