Mary, l am equally sure. She never
would have used it knowingly.
There was still another obstacle 10
which Mary administered her favorite
remedy, the Gordian knot treatment.
Brandon said: 1T cannot be. You are
not my wife, and we dare not trust a
priest here to unite u.s."
NO" replied Mary, with hanging
head, "but we can-can find one over
there"
II do not know how that will be. We
shall probably not find one-at least 1
fear. / do not know"
After a little hesitation she answer
ed: Il will go with you anyway and
and risk it. I hope we may find a
priest" And she flushed scarlet from
her throat TO her hair.
Brandon kissed her and said: "You
shall go. my brave girl. You make me
blush for my faint heartedness and
prudence. / will make you my wife in
some way as sure as there is n God"
Soon after this Brandon forced him.
self to insist on her departure, and /
went with her, full of hope and COM
pletely blinded TO the dangers of our
| cherished scheme. l think Brandon
never really lost sight of the danger
and almost infinite proportion of chance
against this wild, reckless venture, but
was daring enough to attempt it even
in the face of such clearly seen and
deadly consequences.

MUSCLES OF THE EYE.
A System of Exercise by which They
May BE Strengthened.

May BE Strengthened.
"Are your eyes sore? After reading do
they feel as if they were crossed and
does IL seem as IL numb swelling mes
tied between the brows?
'In three cases out of five of eye
trouble there is no ailment with the
orb itself, but only with the muscles
which control its movements" said a
noted ocuIist THE eye muscles have
become fiabby and weak and require
toning up and Strengthening. This may
be done by eye gymnastics
Whenever the eye is in use its mus
cles are brought into play. Look at an
object in the distance or look at an
other at close range, and the eye per-
forms an impercepdble movement ei-
ther of sinking deeper or of rising out
of the socket in order to adapt itself to
the range, exactly as a telescope 10
heightened or shortened for various
distances Every time the eye turns to
the left or to the right or upward or
downward it is controlled by muscles
that perform merely the mechanical
part Of turning the organ Of vision. II
II in the decline of these muscles where
most people ought first of all to seek
their complaint.
Nothing is simpler than to remedy
this evil. Stand erect, gaze straight
ahead and throughout the entire exer-
cises hold the head in this position,
making IL necessary for the eyes alone
and not the muscles of the neck to
come into play during the ensuing gym
nastics. Hold dime between two fin-
gers and extend the arm straight in
front as far as possible, at the same
time riveting the gaze on the coin Al
ways looking at the dime, approach the
coin gradually until 1t is within four
inches of the eyes. Then extend to the
j.. original position and repeat the move
ment. 1t will strengthen the muscles
controlling the eyes on range adjust
| ment.
| 'For the second exercise keep the
head in the same rigid position as be-
| fore and, holding the coin extended,
| keep the eyes fastened on ii and move
the arm as far to one side and as far to
the other as the eye can follow the arc
Of the sweep.
Holding head and arm and coin a.
| at first, raise the arm so high that the
eyes are unable longer to see the coin
unless by an elevation of the chin.
Then lower the hand with the coin sim
ilarly until 1t disappears from vision
Perform these exercises faithfully,
and in two or three days the eyes will
be brighter and the sight better. Crows
feet will disappear, and the youthful
vigor when the eye was in its highest
state Of efficiency will be restored"-

wasps and ants quite readily took into
their mouths poisonous and unpleasant
food, even swallowing enough to make
themselves i'll, while some bees and
cockroaches fell a prey to the tempta-
