Englishman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. Blake started to swim back
to the ship to recover what was left

his last match on a cigarette. for which
he was scored by Blake. Their first meal
was dead fish. The trio started ten

Blake found fresh water spring. Miss
Leslie faced an unpleasant situation.
They planned their campaign. Blake re-

thus insuring fire. He started a jungle

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.

CHAPTER xli.-Contlnued.

One after another, the keys were
welded together, end to end, in a mar
row ribbon Of steel. The thinnest
one, however, was not fastened to the
tip until 1t had been used to burn a
groove in the edge of a rib, selected
from among the bones which Miss
Leslie had thrown out of the baobab.
The last key was then fastened to the
others; the blade ground sharp, tenn
pered, and inserted in the groove.
Finally, pieces of the keyring were fit
ted in bands around the bone, through
notches cut in the ends of the steel
blade. The result was bone-handled,
bone.backed knife, with a narrow cut
ting edge Of fine steel.
Leslie had been forced away by the
requirements of her own work. In
fact, Blake did not complete his task
until late in the afternoon. At the
end, he spent more than an hour
grinding the handle into shape. When
ne came to show the completed knife
to Miss Leslie, he was fairly aglow with

constituent, Blake endured the nag
ging without sign of irritation, and
in the end took his bow and arrows
and went off down the cleft, with no
more than a quiet reminder to Win
thrope that he should keep near the
fire.
When, shortly after dark, the en-
gineer came cropping his way back up
the gorge, he was by no means so
calm. Out of six shots, he had hit one
antelope in the neck and another in
the haunch; yet both animals had
made off all the swifter for their
wounds.
The noise OF his approach awakened
Winthrope, who turned aver, and be-

Miss Leslie, who was peering out
through the bars of her screen, looked
to see Blake kick the PROSTATE man.
His frown showed only too clearly that
he was in a savage temper. To her

tone until Winthrope again fell asleep.
Then he quietly set about erecting q
canopy of bamboos over the sleeper.
Just why he should build this was
a puzzle to the girl. But when she
caught glimpse of Blake's altered
expression, she drew deep breath OF
relief, and picked her way around the
edge of her bamboo stakes, to lie
down without trace of the fear which
had been haunting her.

A New Kind of Revolution.

Senorita Amanda AZar, a beautiful
Syrian girl, has been playing the role
of a modern Helen of Troy for the
Santo DOMINICAN Republic. Despite
that she was of foreign birth, the
fetching senorita was nominated for
queen of the national Carnival. The
know nothing element protested vigor
ously, and reports declare that the Ma
tional Cabinet, the army and the police
force of the capital became hopelessly
divided on the issue. The Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and the Minister OF
Finance endorsed the Liberal move
ment to the extent of offering to marry
Miss Azar. Santo Domingo is not I'M
accustomed to cabinet crises, but this
was a strictly new kind and President
Caceres had a hard time maintaining
his neutrality and preserving the
peace A string of duels of the in.
ocuous Partisan kind was instant to
the crisis. On the popular vote, Miss
Azar's dark, pensive eyes and dainty
olive complexion won in a walk and
she was chosen queen. Then it was
charged that the ballot box had been
stuffed, though the supporters of Miss
Azar disclaimed knowledge Of any pad
ding. Compromise was finally effected
by choosing an assistant queen, ma
tive daughter, and the twain presided
jointly over the estivities.-Success

"BE OF GOOD CHEER.

By Rev. G. B. F. Hallock, .. D.
Whoever really believes and trusts
in God must be of good cheer. Paul
had much to depress him in the storm
off the island of Melita. Yet he was
not depressed, because he knew that
God was on the ocean just the same
as on the land.
We cannot always understand God
dealings with us, but this we know,
that they are all love-prompted and
love-Wrought; for God Is love-" His
love is strong, like a fathers: Like
as father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear Him"
His love is very tender, like mothers:
''As one whom his mother comforteth,
so will l comfort thee Gods love
goes out toward us continually; but
just as a father or mother shows
special tenderness and heed to sick
or suffering child, so does God deal
with us when we are in trouble What
blessed results would come if every
where, the world over, we could get
people to realize this one supreme,
glad fact that God is love! How it
ming, cause to yield all who are resist
ing, bring cheer to the lonely, comfort
to the sorrowing, strength to the weak,
and fill us all with joy and peace in
believing! Besides, this love of God
is unvarying, SO that we can rely upon
~ 7efo
Add to the thought of Gods love
that of His infinite wisdom and how
much added comfort we get. His
dealings are not alone Iove-prompted,
but His love is guided by unerring wis
dom. We are often like little children,
in our ignorance crying for what
would harm us. God is like an all
loving and wise parent who withholds
the thing that would destroy. Well
can we afford to trust Him!
But there is another quality in God
which crowns all these we have men
toned. He is not alone loving and
wise One might be all these and yet
unable to deliver A friend might be-
loving, sympathetic, willing to help us,
wise enough to know just what ought
to be done, and yet be absolutely I'M
able, lacking in the power to help us.
Not so with God. Nothing is too hard
for Him. He is infinitely strong. He
can put underneath us His everlast-
ing arms and bear us up. He is able
to make all grace abound toward us.
He is able to fulfill His promise to-
make all things work together for cur
good.
In the midst of the storm Paul said,
"Be of good cheer, for I believe God
that it shall be as it was told me-"
And they all did come safely to land.

1t Was Not a Mouse the Master

The late Rev. Dr. Wightman, sitting
one night later than usual engrossed
in the profundities of a great tome,
imagined he heard sound in the
kitchen inconsistent with the cautious

he proceeded to investigate the cause.
His foot being heard in the passage,
the servant began with much noise to
rake out the fire as if preparing for
bed.

I'm jist rakin' the fire, sir, and

On his way back to the study he
passed the coal cellar door and, turn

next morning at an early hour there
was a rap at his bedroom door and

CLEANING SILVERWARE.
The Importance of Having Right Kind
of Polish.

The Importance OF Having Right Kind
of Polish.
Silver is a beautiful and durable ware
whether solid or plated. but its continued
beauty depends upon the care given it by
its owner First. it must be washed
carefully Immediately after using. No
plate powder will remove scratches
caused by careless mixture of the diff
ferent pieces. 1t is of great Importance
to wash the pieces separately in soap and
hot water, rinsing them in hot water, and
polish with fine soft linen towel. When
Treated in this way consistently, plate re-
quires very little use of powder. Many
of the "silver polishes" On the market are
mercurial in nature, and act quickly in
cleansing and polishing, but the silver
tarnishes quickly after their use. Gas
blackens silver left exposed to the air
very quickly. An old cleansing process
lis the use of water in which Irish pota-
toes, with jackets on" have been boiled.
Ut will cleanse delicately chased and en-
graved pieces better than powder, which
settles in the depressions. Spoons and
forks, which have become stained with
eggs should be boiled in this water,
rinsed in clear hot water. and when dried
will be found brighter than ever. Here
is an old tried recipe for silver polish,
which may be made at home: Rub to a
fine powder one pound OF the best whit
ing, and sift It. Mix together four
ounces spirits of turpentine, two ounces
spirits wine, one ounce spirits camphor,
one-half ounce spirits hartshorn. Add
whiting gradually to the liquid, mixing
thoroughly until the consistency of
cream. Put into large bottle and cork
tightly, tying the cork down. When it is
wanted for use, shake, pour out portion
into a bowl, and with a soft, clean
sponge cover the silver entirely with it.
Let dry for ten minutes. Then bush Off
and polish with chamois. This is an ex-
cellent polish and harmless.

FEELING Trees by Electricity.

According to statement issued by
the Siemens-Schuckert Company OF
Berlin, the telling of trees by means
of wires heated by electric currents,
which has been described in various
newspapers, cannot be accomplished In
a. practical and economical manner, for
the following reasons: The wire, to
cut effectively, must be very tightly
stretched and it is therefore very IL
able to rupture, in consequence OF us
high temperature The redhot wire
carbonizes the wood, and the charcoal
if allowed to accumulate, protects the
interior parts from the heat OF the
wire. In order to remove the char
coal, the wire must be roughened and
moved to and fro lengthwise, so that
the operation is still sort OF saving
and the motion and roughenlng IN
crease the liability to rupture.
