His Opportunity Came.

Rear Admiral Charles d. Sigsbee, u.
s.. N, was once advanced after a long
and patient wait from commander 10
captain. On the day that he was pro-
NOTED he went ashore and kept the
launch which was to take him to his
ship waiting beyond the appointed
time. When he finally strolled down,
Paymaster Charles w. Slamm, who
was in charge of the launch, said: Cap
tain, you-you have just been promot-
ed, and you--you have made bad be-
ginning. You have kept the boat wait
Ing ten minutes, SIR" BE calm, Mr..

in worse plight, for he had been on

Going through the hospitals in our
large cities one is surprised to find such
large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera
tions.
Why should this be the case? Sim
ply because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing

symptoms are indications of an I'M
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the penalty
has to be paid by dangerous operation.
When these symptoms manifest them
selves, do not drag along until you are

through. Only by degrees were her
thoughts marshaling themselves with

many dramatic incidents that they
failed to assume due proportion.
But quickly there came memories of

Tozer, of the doctor, her maid, the

she brokenly demanded.
The sailors gravely earnest glance
fell before hers. "Unhappily there is
no room for doubt" he said.
"Are you quite, quite sure?"
81 am sure-of some" Involuntarily
he turned seward.
She understood him. She sank to her
knees, covered her face with her hands
and broke into q passion of weeping.
With look Of infinite pity he stopped
and would have touched her shoulder,
but he suddenly restrained the i'm
pulse. Something had hardened this
man. 1t cost him an effort to be cal
lous, but he succeeded. His mouth
frightened, and his expression lost its
tenderness.

claimed, and there was tinge of stud
led roughness in his voice, "you must
calm yourself. 1t is the fortune Of
shipwreck as we'll as Of war, you
know. We are alive and must look
after ourselves. Those who have gone
are beyond our help"
"But not beyond our sympathy"
walled Iris, uncovering her swimming
eyes for a fleeting look at him. Even
in the utter desoation of the moment
she could not help marveling that this
queer hammered sailor, who spoke like
a gentleman and tried to pose as her
inferior, who had rescued her with the
utmost gallantry, who carried his quiX-
otto zeal to the point of first supplying
her needs when he was in far worse
case himself. should be so utterly in
different to the fate of others.

ceased.
