Thousands Of American women, how
ever. have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as 1t is the most
thorough female regulator known to
medical science. It cures the condition
which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga, writes:
"Lydia e. Pinkham'sve Vegetable Compound
Is true friend to woman. 1t has been OF
great benefit to me, curing mo OF irregular
and painful periods when everything else had

suffering women"

to and fro.
Then he saw the other dorymen
wave something back and steer tneir
boats toward him. The stimulating
influence of their acknowledgment
was SO great that he leaped on the
maudlin figure in the bow and tried
to rouse him to a realization OF the
most wonderful event In the world,
The youth answered him with faint
incoherehce. The boy was very pal

Later, on board the Flora s. NICK

endless quantities OF water. Eventu'
ally he said to his rescuers:

They answered: 'Saturday-Satur'

fumed, and at last began to talk abcu.
his home in Nova Scotia, and car
ried on long conversation with his
mother and father. He told them
that he had gone out fishing with =
man named Matheson, and that this
man, by reason of some enmity for
him, had eaten all the food and drunk
all the water in the boat. He said
that he suffered so much from hun
ger and thirst that he finally wished
to jump into the sea. Whereupon he
stood up and screamed a long de-
nunciation 10 the man with the board
and bucket, and, when Matheson or
dered him to sit down. flung himself
over the side of the boat.
The older man dropped his board
and bucket and jumped for the luna
tic. The latter fell into the water,
but his friend had him firmly by the
tail of his smock and dragged him
back into the dory. For long tim>
the youth lay apparently dead. Mathe-
quent deluges of water interrupted
him. He bailed automatically for the
remainder of the night.
In the morning the storm lessened,
but the waves still tumbled over one
another In threatening manner. so
that the older man busted himself In
steering the boat and in ba'ling.
Vessel Is Sighted.
Shortly after noon the creature In
the bottom of the boat wriggled to lie
again and moaned fitfully. This was
reassuring to the older man, and he
looked again from horizon to horizon.
And after time, when the dory rose
on the crest OF wave, he thought
he saw speck In the distance, He
watched It intently. and finally con-
Guided, with feeling of great Joy, tina:
II was schooner of some sort. So
he jumped for the pitchfork and took
Off his jacket, forgetful of the January
wind, and raised the crude signal In
frantic manner.
The vessel seemed to approach them;
then II remained in its relative posi-
ton for an apparently interminable
time. It remained there SO long THAI
even the older man lost patience and
began to scream. The feverish youth
gradually comprehended the unusual
excitement and regained sufficient con-
seriousness to join In the cries for sue
cor. Together the two men stood up
in the uncertain dory and waved their
apparel to the far-of vessel, AMI
yelled until their parched lips split
and the blood. ran down their chins.
The vessel eventually disappeared in
the far-off east
Then the youth sank down In the
bottom of the dory and resumed hi,
raying denunciation OF his compan-
ion. The latter sat with bowed head
and for a long time gave way to his

much attention to the youth, and then,
above the wailing Of the wind and the
water. he heard disorderly clamor.
And once in awhile the youth reached
forward and grabbed him by the arm
and demanded his supper. He accused
Matheson OF keeping his food from
him.
During the night the storm tossed the
dory about like piece OF wreckage

the raving boy lost his balance and
toppled over the side. Mathewson
jumped for him and caught him by
the collar of his jacket. and. when
10 next wave came along. he yanked
IA into the boat again. The young
man was no longer delirious; he was
as limp as dead man. His face was
pallid and parboiled.
The old man stopped down and felt
of the family beating heart, and then
he rose and looked around for his
oars. He saw one Of them On the

lodged the prongs of the forla The
next time he gripped the mad youths

away.

staggered and fell overheard The older
man leaped for him just in time again
to catc. the tail of his smock, but the
wet garment slipped out Of his grasp
and tn, lunatic went down into the
brine, Matheson clutched for his CON-
panion frantically. and at last caught
him by the hair of the head. He was
barely able to drag him into the boat
again. Tho effort left Matheson ex-
hausted. For long time the youth
again lay in the bottom OF the dory
like a'corpse, and his friend thought he
was a corpse, but he couldn't try to re-
vive him because another wave came
into the boat and compelled him to re :.
sumo bailing.
Presently his arched figure suddenly
Strengthened. His haggard eyes
opened wide and stared tensely into
the night. Far off to the starboard he
thought he observed change in the
blackEess. Gradually the misty yellow
reflection became number Of twink
ling stars, and later continuous dis
charge of sparks issued from the cen
ter OF the radiance, The trawler shout
ed to the still figure in the bottom of

ITS steamer! She's bearin' down

At once he reached for the fork and
repeated his frenzied signaling. The
steamer came nearer and nearer, but
at last she approached no more, but
began 30 recede. Then Matheson con-
cluded to signal no longer, he sat
down IN the boat and sobbed tear.

The youth revived during the night
and sang and swore. Matheson
bailed and steered the boat and kept
the fork close beside him. The older
man was alternately discouraged and
hopeful. He felt certain that the dory
was In the path of commerce. He told
the luratic that they would see more
schoorers.
Men Finally Rescued.
In tAe morning on the horizon ap-
peared two steamers and three schoon-
ers. but they continued on their way
unseeing. Yet at last, when Mathe-
son figured out that the day must be
Saturday. he detected still another
sail. lie couldn't see very plainly,
but he told the youth in the bottom
OF the boat that 1t was a fishing
schooner After a time he began to
believe that she was drifting in a
course similar to his own. He made
out number Of small boats around
her Lie flock of busy chickens.
Later he saw the boats spread out and
ramble hither and thither. SO he
struggled to his feet and held up his

On the Boundless Ocean.
To the younger man 1t was incom-
prehensible what had become Of the
Quonnapowitt. He had thought she
lay to the westward, but the longer
he gazed at the exasperating western
horizon the less he thought of his
original theory. At first he suggested
that they row In that direction. But
the older man argued that because
the breeze came from the northeast,
and because the schooner had proba-
bly, changed her position during the
southwesterly. with the wind. He told
the young man that that course would
undoubtedly lead them into a feet of

other craft. The younger man as.

The older man advised him to take
the oars and row, and added that he
would relieve him after a half hour
The younger man finally became
very weary and hungry and sleepy.
Now and then his head dropped on his
breast and lay there until the man in
the stern prodded him roughly with
an oar, whereupon the young man
slowly awoke and showed much an
ger. Sometimes his friend spoke to
him brusquely and sometimes he
pleaded with him. The young man
continued to complain. He said he
was hungry enough to eat leather. He
wished to eat some OF the remaining
fish in the bottom of the boat. The
older man ordered him to leave them
alone. and. to make certain that he
complied. he picked them up, one by
one. and threw them overheard. The
young man said he had already eaten
one, and when the other man scolded
him he laughed loudly.

But by and by the laugh became

man splashed cold water on the burn
ing face. These ministrations restored
his friend to temporary sanity. But

trying to manipulate the dory in the

where In sight. They studied the rim
Of the universe with great care, but they
could not see her. Sc far as they were
concerned she did not exist.
So the younger man threw out the an
Choir and made himself restful In the
bow and watched the waves undulating
lazily out of the clouds of mist, into the
small world, and then into the mists
again.
A moment later he Maid he guessed he
would doze awhile. since there were no
signs Of the schooner.
Keep awake" answered the older
man sharply. you'll take cold II you
sleep In this dampness."
But Hemmeon protested that he would
sleep only short time. The other man
commanded him to sprinkle some water
on his face and swing his arms vigorous
ly. The older man had been to sea during
the past 30 years: the younger man only
three years. So the latter obediently
sprinkled his face with the cold brine
and exercised. and presently he said he
was wide awake agaia.
The First Night.
Hemmeon said the fog was growing
thicker. The older man corrected him
with considerable sternness. He said
night was coming. lie told the younger
man to swing his aims whenever he fol
drowsy and cold. Several times during
the early part OF the evening the youth
rose IN the bow and exercised; later, he
lay still so long that his dory mate
grabbed an oar and prodded him and
ordered him percmptorily to keep
awake.

he tore on batter board and used

affair, but It suficed to control the

After many hours tho mound Of oil

the night grew older and older and

The sea was ribboned with foam.
The older man in the dory examined
