path. Under such circumstances the attempt would have to be given over. As Wolfe had said, 100 men might hold that towering cliff, against an army. s..s4. .
 stI think we can scramble ID the cliff by the aid of these trees" said Howe at last .& l It was bold proposition. Wolfe i looked at him gratefully and approv- ingly It was their only chance, and the young general gave the signal for the attempt in these not very encour- aging words: .t@lf
 'You may try It.. Col Howe, but I do not think you will succeed: Cap tain,'' he, added, turning to one of his ! staff, 't'tell Gen. Monckton to keep the rest of the men quiet in the boats for a few moments. We may have no need l for them"
 ! As he spoke Howe and his gallant 1 24 sprang at the cliff. They were soon l lost in the shadow covering the face 1 of it. and the watchers below could :, trace the course of their slow and l painful ascent by the crashing sounds ! they made, as by the aid of stunted l trees growing in .clumps here and ] there they made their toilsome way 1 upward Why the French did not dis cover them has never been explained Presently the sounds died away all ! together The silence was broken by the sound of a musket-shot, followed ] by another and another A quick ] fusillade rang out from the sky above them They were there, then! They were engaged What had been the 1 issue?
 Concea1ment was no longer possible 1 or desirable. At a word from their commander the men on shore sprang at the barricades The scene changed from one of absolute quiet to intense ] activity.
 "Have they won, think you?" asked Grafton.
 s'sWe shall know in moment" an- l swered Wolfe. 'sIf they have lost, somebody will come tymbling down the cliff to tell the tale. Meanwhile, I am stalking all on the chance of their success"
 I The little cove was now filled with noise. Catching the contagion the men began to spring from the boats and fell in on the shore. The feel ings of the soldiers, repressed so long through the night, found vent in cheers and cries. Presently hail came down from the cliff It was HOwe's voice.
 ''We have the post!" he shouted 'eThe enemy has fled! The way Ls open!"
 Hold it at all hazards!" cried the commander
 The cheering men fairly tore the barricades to pieces and scrambled uT the path, Wolfe himself in, the lead Capt. de Vergor, who commanded the French guard, was incapable and g coward. He had kept negligent watch Howe and his handful of men had surprised them. The fall of New France must be laid at the feet of one person; and, singularly enough, the beginning of American independence may be traced to the splendid exploit of the young soldier, who, as gen eral long after, at Long Island. White Plains, Brandywine and Germantown
 did his best to stop it's course. (To Be Continued.)

Group, capillary bronchitis, and ar

banes of childhood. These all alike re-
suit from catching cold.
One child catches cold and scares its
mother into Mysteries by having Group

Another child catches cold, develops
a stubborn cough that will not yield to
ordinary remedies. The parents are
filled with f%orbodings.
Still another child catches cold and
develops that most fatal malady OF chill
dren, capillary bronchitis. The doctor
is called, pronounces the case pneu'
monia, and if the child is lucky enough
to live it has developed weak lung
from which it may never recover.
And yet another child catches colo

Bad Teeth.
~N"NNNN~


Many people who come to me to
have their teeth attended to complain
incidentally of failing eyesight, and
when l tell them bad teeth in nine
cases out Of ten are the cause, few
feel inclined to believe me-" said a
Well-known New York dentist.
bad sight is generally attributed to
~oVerstudy, debilitated constitution and
a hundred and one other causes, but
have you ever heard any one place the
blame on the teeth? Bad teeth are the
direct result of insufficient application
of the toothbrush, and bad eyesight,
resulting from the decayed molars ex.
citing disturbances of the ocular
nerves, Is the next inevitable penalty.
That is a fact which seems to be little
known.
"The other day I extracted four de.
cayed teeth OF a young girl who was
almost totally blind; her pupils were
dilated and insenslble. A week after
l had pulled her teeth her sight was
practically restored. Two months pre-
vious to this cure the girl had been
examined by an expert o%culist, who,
after putting her to various eye tests,
designated the case as 'hysterical am.
blyopia,' and l guess that's about all
the satisfaction the girl got, judging
by her condition when she came to me
In saying this do not think for a mo.
ment that l am in any way prejudicet
against oculists. l merely cite the in
stance.
I'm the course Of a year I attend tt
the teeth of scores of people with i'm
paired vision, and in every case where
the teeth are drawn the sight is soor
after either greatly improved Or entire
ly restored."-Exchange.
Heat Exhaustion.-Such exhaustion
is a very different thing from sun
stroke. In fact its symptoms are di
rectly opposite. In heat exhaustion
the skin is cold and clammy and tn
temperature is subnormal. The pa
tient often loses consciousness ant
looks deathly pale. The condition
not as serious as sunstroke, but 1t !
dangerous and should receive grea
care. If at any time during the heal
ed season one feels weak with indis
tinct vision and disturbed mind;
there is ringing in the ears and a sens
Of prostration, it is time to stop wor

spirits Of ammonia, a teaspoonful in
wineglassful of water, is a good rem
edy to take before the doctor comes
