1.-THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.

In cold weather some people think
cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-for short time but
the ug-cafreine-acts on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re-
action is to cause more chilliness.
There Is a hot wholesome drink
which Oak. girl found after time,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says:
Having lived for five years in N.
Oak, have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. AS re-
suit 1 had a dull headache regularly,
suffered from indigestion, and had no
life in me.
Il was known as the pale GIRL and
people thought l was just weakly.
After a time had heart trouble and
became very nervous, never knew
what it was to be real we'll. Took med
icine but it never seemed to do any
good.
'Since being married my husband
and both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only to
begin again, although we felt 1t was
the same as poison to us.
Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and have great deal of en-
ergy l had never known while drink
ing coffee.
II haven't been troubled with indi-

In those days long shoal. of which
Ellen knew nothing, jutted out into
the roads. She did not throw her boat
along it looking for some suitable
place to land Seton's lugger, of
course, followed her motions. They
were both under the lee of the island,
which broke the force of the breeze
somewhat but Ellen's vessel, being
the smaller, got the worst of it and
felt the wind less. Setons boat was
minutes it would be alongside. Ellen
swung the helm over and desperately
headed straight for the shore.

swear I'll use these weapons
There are no bullets in them"
cried Deborah. Don't be afraid"
Ellen turned on her like a young
tigress. She could have struck her
with her pistol. Sir Charles enly
laughed. He was in high glee.
Il wouldn't care If there were a
thousand bullets in them. l intend to
have you out of that boat, Mistress
Debbie, and"
There was a sudden scream from
Mistress Debbie. The boat in which
she sailed smet with sudden check.
The little cutter grated upon the edge
Of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the
helm, forgetful of everything else but
the present peril. Her boat go
ing at rapid rate had taken ground.
She hoped that the touch had been SO
light that the boat would not be
stopped and wrecked. Indeed. she
flung herself violently to starboard
and the sudden shock swung the boat
off the shoal. There was a scraping
Of sand beneath the keel and the
little shallop slid on.
Sir Charles was close aboard. Not
being a sailor, he had not noticed, and
in the excitement of the chase, Sir
Charles offering reward upon reward
to the fishermen If they overhauled
the other boat these men forgot the
peril, If, indeed, they knew it. For
coming down at full speed and draw
ing half again as much water as
Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fas,
upon the shoal.
Ellen had counted upon their doing
this very thing. She looked back with

Deborah. Don't try. 1t will only

But Ellen stood up in the boat,

half mile away, and pulled the trig-

charge in default of bullet
Someone in the boat astern stood
up and waved his hat.
Ellen let him have the other pistol.
OF course, there was sound and moth
ing more. But the conclusion. the
noise and the smoke relieved her feel
1ngs. Deborah covered down in the
boat. released the tiller. let go the
sheet and stopped her ears with her
fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols
and by the quickest kind of work,
seized the tiller and sheet and got the
boat under control before she broached
10. 1t was narrow escape, however,
and convinced Lady Darlington that
she could not indulge in any more
sham battling. She watched the other
boat carefully as her own gathered
way once more but could detect no
evidence that her firing had in the
least intimidated those who were
coming so recklessly after her.
Promising Deborah that she would
not fire them again, she got the young
woman to take the helm once more
while she reloaded her pistols. She
would have given anything for a
couple of good honest leaden bullets
If she had even had a jeweled ring,
she would have pounded it into shape
and rammed it down the barrel, but
she had divested herself of all her
jewels except her wedding ring and
she could not make up her mind to
blow that away in the present emer-
gency. Still the pistols were heavily
charged and at close quarters there
would be an unpleasant dose of pow-
der for anyone who tried to molest
her
The other boat was coming up hand

would be alongside. Ellen swept the
