though I reminded her or some one.
Paying little heed to this then, I hur-
rled her and her companion down to
the water, traversing a stretch OF fore
shore strewn with piles of wood and
stacks of barrels and old rotting boats,
between which the mud lay deep. For
~tunately it was high tide and we had
not far to go. In a minute or two I
distinguished the hull Of a ship loom
ing large through the fog, n a few
more steps placed us safely on a float
ing raft, on the far side Of which the
vessel lay moored.
There was only n man to be seen
loungtng on the raft, n the ~neighbor-
hood was quiet. My spirits rose as I
looked round. rs this the Whelp?"
the tall lady asked. 1 had not heard
the other open her mouth since the
encounter in the court.
Yes, 1t Is the Whelp, madam" the
man answered, saluting her and speak
Ing formally and with a foreign ac-
cent. You are the lady who is ex-
peCted?"
Il am she answered, with author
ity. "Will you tell the captain, that I
desire to sail Immediately, without q
moments delay? Do you understand
well, the tide is going out" quoth
the sailor obviously, looking steadily
into the fog, which hid the river. 1T
has just turned, 1t is true. But as to
sailing"-
She cut him short. GO, go, man!
Tell your captain what I say. And
let down a ladder for us to get on
board"
He caught a rope which hung over
the side, n swinging himself UP dis
appeared. We stood below listening to
the weird sound which came off the
water, the creeping and fianping Of
masts and canvas. the whir Of wings
and shrieks Of unseen gulls, the dis
tant hail Of boatmen. A bell in he city
solemnly toiled eight.
The younger woman shivered. The
elders foot tapped impatlently on the
pianks. Shut In by the yellow walls
Of fog, I experienced a strange sense
of solitude. 1t was as IL we three were
alone in the world, we three who had
come together so strangely.

We had stood thus for a few mo-
ments When a harsh voice, hailinR us
from above, put an end to our severa
thoughts and ~forebodings. We looked
Up, and l saw half a dozen n~ightcapped
heads thust over the bulwarks. A rome
ladder came hurting down at our feet,
n a man nimbly descending, held It
tight at the bottom. Now. madam"
he said briskly. They all, I noticed.
a the same foreign accent. vet ali
spoke English, a singularity I did not
understand until I learned later that
the boat was the Lions Whelp, trading
between London and Calais and
manned from the later place.
Mistress Bertram assembled quickly
n steadily, holding the baby in her
arms. The other made some demur,
lingering at the foot Of the ladder and
looking up as II afraid until her
companion child her sharply. Then
she' TOO, went up. but as she passed
mel was holding one side OF the
ladder s~teady-she shot at me from
under her hood a look which disturbed
me strangely.
1t was the first time I had seen her
race. and 1t was such a face as a man
rarely forgets, not because of its
beauty, rather because 1t was a speak
ing race, a strange and expressive one.
which the dark waving hair, swelling

seemed to accentuate. The features
were regular, but, the full red lin ex-
cepted, rather thin than shapely. The
nose, too, was prominent. But the
eyes! The eyes seemed to glorify the
dark, flashing eyes, and their smile
seemed to me perpetually to challenge,
TO allure and repulse and even to
goad. Sometimes they were gay, more
rarely sad, sometimes soft and again
hard as steel. They changed in a mo-
ment as one or another approached
her. But always at their gayest, there
was a suspicion or WEAKNESS and
fatigue in their depths, or so l thought
later.
Something of this flashed through
my mind as / followed her up the
side. But once IN board I glanced
round, forgetting her in the novelty OF
my position. The Whelp was decked
fore and aft only, the blackness Of the
hold gaping amidships, spanned by a
narrow gangway, which served to con-
meet the two decks. We found our
selves in the fore part, amid coils of
rope and wlndlasses and water casks.
surrounded by half a dozen wild look
ing sailors wearing blue knitted frocks.
and carrying sheath knives at their
gtrdles.
The foremost and, biggest of these
seemed to be the captain, although, so
far as outward appearances went.
the only difference between him and
his crew lay in a marline spike which
he wore slung to a thong beside his
knife. When 1 reached the deck, he
was telling a long story to Mistress
Bertram, n telling 1T very slowly.
But the drift of it I soon gathered.
While the fog lasted he could not
put to sea.
NONSENSE" cried my masterfuI
companion, chatting at his slowness OF
speech. Why not? Would it be dan
~gerous?"
We'll, madam, it would be danger
ous," he answered, more slowly than
ever. yes, 1T would be dangerous.
And to put to sea in a fog? That Is
not seamanship. And your baggage has
not arrived"

HACKING COUGHS
CAN BE PROMPTLY CHECKED.

It is not unusual for a cold or an attack of the grip to be followed by persistent cough. This is owing to the roughness and irritation of the membrane lining the throat. Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has proven very successful in checking coughs of this character. It soothes and heals the irritated membrane, thereby cur ing the disease that causes coughing.
 For several winters past my wife has been troubled with a most persist ent and disagreeable cough, which in- variably extended over a period of several weeks and caused her many sleepless nights" writes Will J. Hay ner. editor of the Burley, Colo, Bull letin. Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again p~t in an appearance and my wife. acting on tie suggestion of friend, purchased a botl,c of Charaberlain's Cough Remedy. The result was in. deed marvelcC3.

The baby is now well and we have since tired this remedy at diff ferent times in the family, .and can recommend it highly for both young and old" You are pretty safe when you place your dependence upon Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in any case of a cold, croup or whooping cough. It is intended especially for these diseases and has a worldwide reputation for its cures.
 This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given to a baby as confidently as to an adult.

COMMON COLDS

We claim that if catching cold could be avoided, a long list of dan- gerous ailments would never be heard Of Everyone knows that pneu- monla and consumption originate from a cold; that chronic catarrh, chronic bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles are aggravated and rendered more serious by each fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take chances when you have a cold, even though you do call it a common cold. If taken in time. Chamberlain Cough Remedy will cure it before these diseases can develop. This remedy contains no opium. morphine, or other harmful drugs, and has thirty-five years of reputation back of it, gained by its cures under every condition.

How TO PREVENT
 COLDS

Habitual colds are due to an .ll-
 kept skin on the outside, and by dys-
 peptic mucous membrane on the in
 side, the result of indigestion, coupled
 with carelessness. Cold water, proper food, and common sense are the foun-
 rest. A cold sponge bath, one to three minutes long, before breakfast, with | brisk. dry rub, is excellent-usuaily all that is necessary to keep the skin reactive to sudden changes of temperature. For those unaccustomeG to cold water, tolerance can be gained in three weeks time by the use of water at any comfortable tempera- ture. making it one degree colder each day, until it can be employed, without dread, as cold as it will run. Sea salt may be added to the water for it's stimulating effect. Cold water. intelIgently used, does not steal vital ity, but fosters it. It stimulates the nerves that control the expansion and contraction of the blood vessels, and regulates the cutaneoas circulation One should keep moving" when wet or chilly, and not stand on a 3treet corner or elsewhere without taking desp breath. The lungs used in this way act as a pump, and drive the blood along. This practice, with the others named, will reduce to a shadow the liability of taking cold every little while. If you should contract a cold. get rid of it as quickly as possible. for every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality, and paves the way for more serious diseases. This is best accomplished by the use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, preparation that can always be depended upcn. and that not only curCs the cold, but counteracts any tendency toward 2aeu- monia.

HOW COLDS ARE
 CONTRACTED
AND PROPER TREATMENT

A cold is always the result of undue
 exposure to tow temperatures. The
 rapid cooling of the. surface. when not balanced by proper reaction, produces congestion and inflammation of the nasal and bronchial membranes. Ob- viously, such an ailment is not com muEicable, in the ordinary sense, from one individual to another. As the slightest cold" predisposes the individual to attacks of the most se were. and dangerous catarrhal affec- tons, the necessity for it's quick cure need not be enforced. These facts emphasize the necessity of extra pre- cautionary measures against the ordi- nary cold. Everyone cannot change his climate at will, but may make the most of what he has at home-viz., take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. It not only cures cold of the cold to result in pneumonia This fact has been fully proven during the epidemics of colds and influenza ot the past few years. No case of either Of these diseases having re- sultsd in pneumonia when this remedy was used has ever been reported to the manufacturers, and thousands of bottles of 1t are sold every dayN This shows conclusively that it is not only the best and quickest cure for colds, but certain preventive of that dan gerous dis ease, pneumonia.

CHILD'S NEGLECT
 ED COLD
AND THE RESULT

Colds are the special banes of child.
 hood. 2Cd often lay the foundation for
 the more serious diseases of after-life. One child catches cold, and scares its
 mother into mysteries by having croup
 in tie dead of night. Another
 child catches cold, and before it has
 fully recovered frcm 1t, takes another
 cold, and perhaps before that is over
 contracts a fresh one This succession
 of colds, or even the.neglect of a com
 mon cold. causes the inflammation of
 the mucous membrane, which was at
 first acute. to/become chronic, and
 the doctor will tell you>that the child has chronic catarrh, from which if will never fully recover. Another child catches cold. Little attention is paid
 to 1t, as the child has often had colds, and always recovered from them; but Tn this instance a stubborn cough is developed. The parents are filled with forebodings. Still another child catches cold, and could easily have been cured by proper treatment, but. being neg lected, develops the most fatal maladv or childhood. pne umonia The doctor is called, and pronounces it lung fever and if the child is lucky enough to live, 1t has developed weak lungs. making it susceptible to all lung dis eases. Every one of these children could have been cured by the prompt use of Chainberlain's Cough Remedy. A few doses of it, and the child's cold is gone. It counteracts any tendency of cold to result in pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear of that dan gerous disease. It is also a certain cure for croup, and has never been known to- fail. When given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. A medicine of such great worth and merit as Cham berlain's Cough Remedy should be kept in every house where there are young children. Don't wait till the child is sick. and then have to send for it, but keep it on hand, ready for instant use when needed.

VERY SUSCEPTIBLE.

Neglect of even an ordinary cough or cold is apt to leave the |. lungs sore and especially sus- ceptible tO bronchial affections. To break up a-c0ld quickly and cure any cough that is curable there is nothing more effective than a mixture of One-half ounce of Virgin oil of Pine. with two ounces of glycerine and a half pint of good whisky. Take a teaspOcnful every four hours. Five ounces of tincture of Gin chona compound can be used in st ad of whisky with the same result.
 The ingredients for this mix ture are not expensive and can be purchased at any good drug store. It will always be found more satisfactory. however. to purchase each separately and mix them at home.

THE CHILD'S LIFE
AND DANGERS THAT
 THREATEN

The worst danger to which the
 children of America are exposed is
 the neglected cold. If your baby has
 a cold, don't say, Tt will wear off.
 and let it go at that. If your children
 have the snuffles, or sore throats. or
 watery eyes. don't hesitate to take
 them/from school for day or two so
 that you may break up the colds they
 have. Every parent c2l add to the
 healthy condition of the family and to
 his or her own peace of mind by
 guarding against any and every kind of cold. Generally, the child does not know how it caught cold. It may be impossible to prevent it exposing it's sensitive body to those dangers which older persons shun. But the chances Of contracting colds can be easily diminished by little care and fore thought. If the children get colds. don waste any time. Don't trifle with cold. This warning should be needed by all. The lives Of many children are sacrificed each year by neglecting the colds which they take; others contract chronic catarrh, from which they never fully recover. Of all the cough mixtures sold, Chamber lain's Cough Remedy certainly heads the list as the most efficacious for colds, croup. and whooping cough in children, and the one remedy that can always be depended upon to effect a speedy cure. and that is pleasant and safe to take. This remedy contains no opium or other harmful drug, and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult Its great worth and merit in the treatment of these di- seases has been attested by many thousands of mothers.
