SING ON, OH HEART
By Richard Wightman.

BY Richard Wightman.
oh Heart, sing on! the drought is
long,
The birds are panting-stilled their
song;
The typhoon marshalls in the plain,
The air is hot, no sign OF rain,
But still, Oh Heart, sing on!
Oh Heart, sing on! somewhere bides
She
Who lives, and hopes, and waits for
thee.
] know not when nor where thy quest
Shall end, and thou shalt find thy
rest.
But still, Oh Heart, sing on!
Sing on, Oh Heart! the summit far
Is topped by light of yonder star;
The climb is sheer, nor paved with
ease,
The wind is mournful in the trees.
But still, Oh Heart, sing on!
Sing on, Oh Heart! that thou canst
sing
Holds sure the promise OF the spring,
And loves fruition full and long,
And thine own height above the
throng-
And 80, Oh Heart, sing on!

A DREAD DISEASE.

tive by Cancer Statistics.

It has been announced by a promi-
nent physician of New York that one
man out of every thirty-two, and one
woman out of every eleven in this
country, die of cancer. We don't be-
lieve it. That is too great proportion.
There are many deaths from cancer
but one in every twenty-five persons
is rather too much Of the bad thing
1t is hoped the announcement will
not have the effect of creating in any
person the imagination that he or
she has cancer. 1t is an awful state
for one to be laboring in, that he is
or may be afflicted with some dire
malady. A person should will him.
self away from any such notion. Don't
try to find out if there is disease
brewing in some mortal part. Better
take it for granted there isn't. For if
there is, fear and distress about it is
likely to aggravate it.
If there is any doubt On this score,
better resolve the doubt in favor of
health, hope, and happiness. There
is this condition precendent involved
in this counsel-that a person must
obey the laws of health; that he must
eat and breathe right, exercise, hope,
look up, treat people justly and kind

My Silent
Partner
BY ALBERT W. TOLMAN

Il never see deaf and dumb man,
said the engineer of the dredge, ret
respectively, without thinking Of
Charley Cassilear. In thirty years
I've had to do with all sorts Of men
and machinery, good, bad and indif-
ferent. About some things my men,
ory's pretty hazy, but I'll never for
get the scrape l got into when I was
master mechanic Of the Record King
hematite-mine in the Marquette re-
gion, with Charley as assistant.
Charley was just turned twenty
one; he was literally silent part
ner,' being, as l have said, deaf and
dumb. Twas bad handicap, but he
had brains and grit for a dozen. He
knew more about boilers and steam
pumps than any two ordinary me-
chanics. i guess he put into study
and thought the hours men with ears
and tongues waste in talk that doesn't
amount to anything. He was quick,
too; drop him into a hard place, and
he always fell on his feet.
well, Charley and l slid along
comfortably for two years. We had
our signalcode, and understood each
other perfectly. When a mans work
ing about machinery, actually work
ing, mind you, not loafng, it's sur
prising how little real need he has
of his tongue.
Zone cool Saturday night late in
September the Number 6 Knowles
pump in Shaft winze went on strike
It was hurry call for the doctor;
so just before midnight Ferguson,
the engineer, shot Charley and me to
the bottom of the shaft in the ore
bucket.
"A hundred yards along the main
drift, right-angled turn, forty more
through cross-drift, and we hit the

cat its end lay the we'll, ten feet
square and twenty deep, half-full Of
black water, with a plank running
over it to a niche where the pump
was placed. I started across. Charley
close behind.
"Now accidents happen five hundred
feet underground as we'll as at the
surface. l could almost put my hand
on the pump when a little rock Slip
ped out from under the plank end,
and the plank tilted bit OF course
I didn't want to be dumped into the
pit, so jumped for the ledge, for
getting for second that the top of

stretched. Then with a mighty splash
the glass shivered into. a million
pieces, and l plunged through it into
icy ink.
''For little threshed about un.

Soon, however, the cold water
brought me to; and I realized that
the stars ! saw were in my head,
and not outside. I threw the tool.

and came quickly up. My hands
touched iron; it was the three-inch
suction.pipe of the pump.
"My skull was splitting. What had

whatever it was he wanted. he hadn't
got it yet.
For a while he chung there, breath
ing hard. Then dowA '@ went again.
What in the world Md there be at

cape? | hoped he hadn't gone crazy.
He stayed longer than before. EX-
plcring ten feet under water couldnt
be much fun. But at any rate 1t

was at the top. The deepest spot
was right under the pipe. | felt
something strike against it, and
knew he was fumbling round there.
Then his head touched my foot, and
up he popped, gasping,
"He was almost played out, but
he pressed my arm three times, and
chuckled. So I knew he'd got it. He
pressed my hand against something,
and l saw what he had been after
his tool-kit.
Fingers had to take the place OF
eyes, ears and tongue. He hung the
bag round my neck, and began fumb-
ling in it. Pretty soon he let me feel
a monkey-wrench tied on the end OF
a coil of small rope. He made mo-
tons, as if throwing the wrench up
in the air; and at last I understood
his scheme, and grew as excited as
he.
"If that wrench could be tossed
over the elbow of the pipe. so that
the rope would hang down on each
side, we could easily pull ourselves
up.
But it wasn't the easiest thing to
do in that pitchiness. The wrench,
too if it dropped on mans skull,
would crack it like crockery. So
when Charley got ready to make his
cast, he motioned me away, and l
swan over to the other side of the
pit.
Swish, went the rope, and then
king. rang the wrench on the pipe;
second later it splashed into the
water. Failed,
r. "Charley tried it seven times, and
seven times it fell back. l heard it
go up the eighth, and then the rope
began to brush softly. Presently,
tick! tick! tick: Charley snapped his
finger against the pipe. to signal that
it had caught.
"You can guess it didn't take me
long to get across the pit. Charley
insisted that 1 should go up first. So
squeezing the ropes together between
both hands and twisting my legs
round the pipe, hoisted myself care
fully. l was close to the elbow when
the rope suddenly slipped off.
Back I fell, striking Charley on
the shoulders and driving him I'M
der water. 1t was wonder l didn't
break his neck. AS it was, it hurt
his arm so he couldn't throw, and l
had to see what l could do.
Il don't know how many times I
tried before the wrench went over.
But at last it did, and I paid out the
rope inch by inch till had both parts
On my hands. This time l worked it
we'll back toward the pump, and
went up very carefully. Soon / was
safe on the ledge, and it wasn't long
before Charley stood beside me.
you may guess we didn't try to
cross that plank until We had made
If parfecfly solid nv nuttinp rocks
under its end. Then we crawled
over in the dark, one at a time, felt
our way back to the shaft, and rang
for Ferguson. After he had hoisted
us up, and we'd dried off in the en-
gine-rocm, we went down again and
fixed the pump.
THAT time we were mighty careful
not to tumble into the well."-Youth's
