And then from somewhere forward
came a frightened yell and the sound
of some one running. Swensen came
bounding up the ladder from the main

Burke's face went white and then

silence, and for 4 moment every soul

Bradley forgot his duty as second
officer, forgot that half the crew were
watching him, forgot everything ex-

a berth below, while his schooner was
being run into certain destruction. He
leaped to the wheel, and the mate leap
ed to meet him.
Bradley stopped as he sprang for
ward, and it was lucky for him that
he did so. Burke's fist whizzed past
his ear, and the next moment the two
mates were clinched and struggling In
the little space between the deck
house and the after rail. Bradley did
not attempt to strike; his sole idea
was to get to the wheel. Therefore he
merely warded off the furious blows
aimed at his head and struggled silent
ly, but the one sided tight could not
last long. Burke gradually backed his
opponent to the rail, and then without
turning his head he shouted:

deck and fell backward at full length

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these inn
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkhau's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands Of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely

cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

four months before her mothers

Il loved him and he said he loved
me. He told me he would then have
greater love for me. and believed
in him, loved him and had confidence
in him and felt that he would marry
me as he had promised to do"
When she realized her condition
she spoke to Bywaters and he said
that she was mistaken. Later By
waters suggested criminal opera

such an operation meant and she did
not know anything else to do. Final
