THE sA1L- IN ILLNESS,
To the Trained Eye II Quickly Shows
Patients Condition.

10 the Trained Eye II Quickly Shows
a Patients Condition.
The face is good index to the state
of ones physical being, and from it
symptoms of disease can be detected
almost before the patient is aware that
anything serious is the matter with
him. For instance, incomplete closure
Of the eyellds, rendering the whites OF
the eyes visible during sleep, is a
symptom in all acute and chronic dis
eases Of a severe type. 1t is also to be
observed when rest is unsound from
pain wherever seated.
Twitching Of the eyelids, associated
with the oscillation Of the eyelids, or
squirting, heraIds the visit Of conyul-
sions.
Widening Of the oriices OF the nose.
with movements OF the nostrils to and
fro. points to embarrassed breathing
from disease of the lungs or their
plural investment
Contraction OF the brows indicates
pain in the head, sharpness Of the nos
trils pain in the chest and drawn
upper lip pain in the abdomen.
To make a general rule, it may be
stated that the upper third OF the face
Is altered in expression in affections OF
the brain and the middle third in the
Of the organs contained III the
cavity.

an hour we shouted and fred BY turns.
No reply did we get. Then we returned
to see what luck the others had met
with. There was not much TO hope for.
The beaches were short, and no one
aboard the ship had seen the missing
woman stroling UP Or down. When
we reached the tent IL was TO find that
the other searches had been in vain.
Then the captain said:

We were bound up the coast to Val

storm that wrecked the brig aloft. We

Just previous to leaving London on
this voyage Captain Bennett had been
married to a young lady whom he had
been counting for over three years.
She was the daughter OF manufac-
turer. and the marriage had the CON
sent and good wishes OF her family.
She was a handsome, intelligent girl
Of twenty. much in love with the cap
tain, and this voyage was their bridal
tour. was the captains nephew and
second mate Of the brig.
When we had anchored the brig In a
landlocked bay and began at the re-
pairs the young wife suggested tent
under the trees ashore. A tent was erect
ed, a few neeessaries taken ashore, and
there the happy couple spent their
nights and part Of the days. During
the daytime, If the captain was not on
board, they wandered over the island
or gathered shells along the beach. If
he was on board we could see her NOV
ing about or sitting under the trees
We finally had things ready to proceed,
and the tent and the wife were to be
brought aboard next morning, when a
strange thing happened. Captain Ben
nett had been with us all the after
noon, going ashore about @ o'clock In
the evening. An hour later we were
notified that the wife was missing.

that she would be found within the
hour and that we should all have a
good laugh over the incident. The only
direction she could take from the tent
was due west. where narrow valley
led inland. The captain had gone
mile In this direction and shouted her
name and got no reply. We now bur-
ried along until we had covered dou-
Bile that distance, and we shouted at
the top of our voices. but no answer
came to our balls. We followed the
valley, winding and turning, for dis
lance of two miles and then returned
to the beach for men and lanterns
The disappearance was strange
thing. The woman could not have lost
her way. She could have gone in only
one direction. She had only to turn IN
her tracks to come back to the start
ing point. We had been there two
weeks and had not seen. q stranger
