what the Boilers Were For.

In the eyes of all engineers of steam
ships the deck officers of their ships
are profoundly ignorant Here is one
of the stories they tell: A young
mate went into the engine room with
a message from the captain to the en-
gineer The latter saw the other was
interested and began to explain things
to him. Being Il civil and obigng
man, he made no attempt to tell fairy
tales TO the stranger, and, moreover,
he kept as clear as possible of all puZ-
zling technicalities. He pointed out
the cylinders, the various rods, the &C.
centres, the shaft, and 80 on, explain
ed roughly the uses of the various
pumps and auxiliary machinery, and
the mate was genuinely pleased and
interested and said so. Then, when
going up on deck again, q thought
seemed to strike him Hating on the
ladder he called the engineer and eX-
planned his difficulty. Thanks, awful

made the whole thing as plain as a

Billy's Ruse
By Edith NJ. Doane
Copyright, 1906, by Z. c. Eastment

. With Il warning blast of the horn, a
man, girl and an automobile whirled
around a sharp curve and went spin
ming along the country road. On and
on they raced, shooting past rows Of
maple and chestnut trees Haunting
their glory of new leaves in the soft
spring sunshine, slowing down to
cross a little brook that wandered
noisily between clumpS of alder bushes.
then on again with the fresh spring
wind rushing past their faces and the
huge motor beneath them purring like
a giant cat.
Coming suddenly upon a stretch Of
level pike. Billy Weston bent over the
lever and let out the machine another
notch. Even so able a driver as Billy
could not speed motor car and attend
to anything else while he was doing it.;
so, realizing that he was intent on the
long, straight road before him, Kath-
crime Huston leaned back in her seat
and studied the face beside her crit

you will thank me for being so frank

mously.
That had been six months ago, and
now she was speeding to Mrs. Mon.
teith's May party in Billy's motor-a
situation of Mrs. Monteith's own de-
vising. Il have asked Billy to pick

upward between ranks of naples and

The 'chug chug" of the motor grew

Billy flushed.
Yes" he said
A sudden sense of desolation envel-

seemed as if without warning the
clouds had swept across the smiling
landscape and blotted out the warm
spring sunshine. Billy! She had al

fash she understood.
Tell me about her." she demanded,
leaning back in her seat and regarding
him with amused, tolerant eyes.
So Billy vas trying to make her
jealous.
She had read story like it once
about man who told the girl who
had refused to marry him an imagi-
nary tale of his engagement to anoth-
er girl, whereupon girl No. l had
burst into tears and promptly thrown
herself into the mans arms. Well,

as she pretty?"
"She's beautiful"
Light or dark?"
Billy turned a radiant face to his
companion. Her hair is dark-as dark
as yours"
Miss Huston smiled tolerantly. He
was too honest, too transparent, to play
so delicate a game.
She opened her eyes on him under
her heavy motor veil. "Of course you
love her very dearly" she said lightly.
To her chagrin hot flush dyed her
face from brow to chin.
Billy drew a tense breath.
Love her! l cannot talk about it.
It's like saying my prayers" he said
reverently.
Miss Huston leaned back in her seat.
Why had she never realized before
how lovable Billy was?
They sat in silence, their thoughts
keeping time to the monstrous beat of
the motor as the car swung smoothly
along the hard road. Billy spoke first.
''She will be at Mrs. Monteith's," he
said half shyly
Of course she would. If the motor
continued to tear along at its present
rate and they didn't land in Il heap at
the foot of one of the steep hills. she
would be there in about half an hour.
Dear, clumsy Billy! She had half
mind to tell him that she understood.
His next move was more skillful.

Something Of Value from This.

Such a thing as a weakling is hard
~ known in Japan. The wonderful
endurance of the Japanese soldiers
and sailors i'm the recent war has been
the marvel of all nations. Both men
and women are well. happy and strong.
The reason for this, 50 careful in
vcstigators tell us. is that the Japanese
from childhood up know how to keep
well through care of the digestive
system. If they have trouble with in
digestion. heartburn. wind on the
stomach, loss of appetite. sleepless-
ness. headaches, rheumatic pains.

caused by q weak stomach. they treat
themselves with some of the principal
remedies that compose Mio-na. a
stomach remedy that has already a
large sale in Augusta at Bowditch &
Wcbsters and Percy W. Means.
So uniformly successful has the
remedy been in curing all stomach
troubles where it is used in accordance
with the simple directions given with
each box. that Bowditch & Webster
and Percy W. Means give signed
guarantee with every 50 cent package
to refund the money if Mi-o-na fails
