London, April 1.-THE funeral of
Algernon Charles Swinburne. the poet,
at Bon-church, Isle of Wight, was car

and the deviation led to a painful
scene at the grave.
In his will the poet expressly for

that effect to the rector of Bon-church,
who replied that he would follow Mr..

When, therefore. the cortege started
for the graveyard and the voice Of the
rector was heard in the opening sen
fences of the Episcopal funeral service
amazement and anger we're shown in
the faces Of the mourners.
Mrs. Watts-Dunton attempted to
make a protest, but was restrained by
one of the other mourners. When the
grave was reached the rector announc.
ed that the non-religious service which
had been planned could not take place.
He added. however. few words of
appreciation of the lovable poet. and
the mourners were appeased for a

''But Mr.. Blake said to gather some
fish. Had you not best"
He can pick up all he wants. l
shall not touch the beastly things
Then l suppose there is nothing to
do but wait for him."
yes, if the sharks do not get him"
Miss Leslie uttered q little moan,
and WINTHROP, seeing that she was
on the verge of tears, fastened to re-
assure her. Don't worry about him,
Miss Genevieve! He'll soon return,
with nothing worse than a. blistered
back. Fellows of that sort are born
to hang, you know"
But if he should be--if anything
should happen to him!"
WINTHROP shrugged his shoulders,
and drew out his silver cigarette case.
1t was more than half-full, and he was
highly gratified to find that neither the
cigarettes nor the vesta matches in the
cover had been reached by the wet.
"By Jove, here's luck!" he ex-
claimed, and he bowed to Miss Leslie.
Pardon me, but il you have no OBJ
jections-"
The girl nodded as a matter of form,
and Winthrope fastened to light the
cigarette already in his fingers. The
smoke by no means tended to lessen
the dryness Of his mouth yet it put
him in a reflective mood, and in think
ing over what he had read of ship
wrecked parties, he remembered that
pebble held in the mouth is supposed
to ease ones thirst.
To be sure, there was not sign Of
a pebble within miles of where they
sat; but after some reflection, 1t &C.
Cured to him that one of his steel
keys might do as well. At first Miss
Leslie was reluctant to try the ex-
pertinent, and only the increasing dry
ness of her mouth forced her to seek
the promised relief. Though it failed
to Quench her thirst, she was agree
ably surprised to find that the little
fiat bar of metal eased her craving to
a marked degree.
Winthrope now thought to rig a
shade as Miss Leslie had done, out of
reeds and his handkerchief, for the
sun was scorching his unprotected
head. Thus sheltered, the two
crouched as comfortably as they could
upon the half-dried crest of the hum
mock and waited impatiently for the
return of Blake.

THINK HARD

The unthinking life some people lead
often causes trouble and sickness, H.
Illustrated in the experience of lady
in Fond Du Lac, Wis.
about four years ago I suffered
dreadfully from indigestion, always
having eaten whatever 1 nhed, not
thinking of the digestible qualities.
This indigestion caused palpitation of
the heart so badly l could not walk up
a flight of stairs without sitting down
once or twice to regain breath and
strength.
81 became alarmed and tried dieting,
wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.
Hearing of the virtues of Grape
Nuts and Postum, commenced using
them in place of my usual breakfast Of
coffee, cakes, or hot biscuit, and In
one weeks time was relieved of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi-
gestion. In a months time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and I could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
81 gained ten pounds in this short
] time, and my skin became clear and /
completely regained my health and
strength. 1 continue to use Grape
Nuts and Postum for feel that owe
my good health entirely to their use.

Miss Leslie made no reply
At last Blake was out of the water
and toiling up the muddy beach to the
spot where he had left his clothes.
While dressing he seemed to recover
from his exertions in the water, for
the moment he had finished he sprang
to his feet and came forward at a
brisk pace.
AS he approached, Winthrope
waved his fifth cigarette at him with
languid enthusiasm, and called out as
heartily as his dry lips would per-
NIT: Il say, Blake, deuced glad the
sharks didn't get you"

Needless of Blake's warning cry,
WINTHROP had struck his last vesta
and now, angry and bewildered, he
stood staring while the little taper
burned itself out. With an oath, Blake
sprang to catch it as it dropped from
between Winthropes fingers. But he
was too far away. 1t fell among the
damp rushes, spluttered, and fared
out.
For a moment Blake knelt, staring
at the rushes as though stupefied;
then he sprang up before Winthrope
his bronzed face purple with anger.
Where's your matchbox? Got any
more?" he demanded.
Last one, l fancy-yes; last one
and there are still two cigarettes. But
look here, Blake, can't tolerate your
talking so deucedly-"
you idiot you-you- He'll! and
every one for cigarettes"
From a growl Blake's voice burst
into a roar of fury, and sprang upon
Winthrope like wild beast. His
hands closed upon the Englishmans
throat, and he began to shake him
about, paying no heed to the blows
his victim showered upon his face and
body, blows which soon began to les
sen in force.
Terror-stricken, Miss Leslie put her
hands over her eyes, and began to
scream-the piercing shrek that will
unnerve the strongest man. Blake
paused as though transfixed, and as the
half-suffocated Englishman struggled
in his grasp. he flung him on the
ground and turned to the screaming
girl.

dead calm, they did not see Blake on
his return until he struck shallow wa
ter and stood up to wade ashore. The
tide had begun to ebb before he
started landward, and though he was
a powerful swimmer, the long pull
against the current had so tired him
that when he took to wading he
moved at tortoise-like gait.
