 Why, we are all ready expostu- lated the Captain.

 The Captain looked at MT. Pegley with consternation written iegibly on his bronzed countenance, and MT Peg ley looked seaward with all sorts of expressions on his face.

Captain Holly, having seated himself in the stern. piled lunch baskets and wraps in sucn way as to form a barricade be- tween himself and Mrs. Phipps, but that ladys somewhat rasping voice easily overleaped this obstruction and kept the Captain busy on the trip to the Island.
 When Crane Island was reached the Captain ran his boat alongside a small wharf and the occupants dis embarked. Mir. Pegley at once led Miss Nora along the beach. and Mrs. Pnipps expressed a longing to visit the rocks in the center of the Island.
 Now, the expedition had been un- dertaken for the express purpose of affording Mir. John Pegley an unin- terrupted opportunity of telling Miss Nora Phipps that he loved her. It was a plan of the Captains, and he felt a laudable pride in 1t. The in- stincts of self-preservation told him plainly not to be alone with the dan- gerous Mrs. Phipps. but to keep with Pegley and Nora meant q wreck of the plan. Captain Holly walked toward the rocks with Mrs. Phipps.

EXPRESSIVE NAME FOR INDIGEs-
 TION.
E. G. Fowler Has Simple Remedy That
 Ia Gmarnnteed to Cure the Trouble.

I No one word better expresses the condition of the sufferer from weak stomach or indigestion than "mis- cry" The stomach is weak and can not digest the food, so that there is no appetite, there are pains and griping in the stomach and bowels, the head and back ache, and the misery goes to ev- cry organ.
 Strengthen the stomach and the di- gestive system by the use of Mi-o-na This is the only stomach remedy known that gives relief by strengthening the stomach and digestive organs. It is this principle that makes it a certain cure for indigestion. Other medicines may give temporary relief by helping digest the food, but they do not strengthen the stomach, and that or gan gets weaker and weaker all the time
 E. G. Fowler, the reliable retail druggist, has so much confidence in this remarkable remedy that he guar antees a cure. or the money will be re- funded. Mi-o-na costs but 50 cents a box. Ask to see the strong guarantee given with every box.
 Mi-o-na is in tablet form and should be taken before each meal Other rem edies for stomach troubles and indi- gestion are taken after the meal. and decompose the good food you eat, but Mi-o-na used before eating strength ems the stomach. soothes and heals all irritation and inflammation. enriches the blood. and puts the stomach in such a healthy condition that 1t will take care of the food itself and there will be no pain and suffering.

 The sweat came out on the Cap tain, and he looked anxiously towards the beach. He could have weighed anchor in this time, and surely man could ask a woman to marry him within the same space.
 As they debouched from behind the rocks to the Captains confounding he beheld Pegley and Nora in the boat some distance from the shore, the former plying the oars.
 "Ahoy,' believed the Catpaln, "wnat are you about?'
 Be back in a jiffy,' yelled Pegley, In return, "only little row."
 Look out for the tide" shouted the Captain anxiously.
 Pegley promptly sought to return to the Island, but the tide was too strong for him and the boat drifted rapidly towards the town.
 Hoist sail and come back. you can't make it rowing" hallowed the Captain.
 But MT. Pegley knew nothing about sailing. and he valued his life. so. with a despairing wave of his hand towards the Island, he allowed the boat to drift with the tide.

 Arriving at a nook in the rocks he sat down and wiped his brow.
