Follow this advice.

Quaker Oats is the best Of all foods;
II 10 also the cheapest. When such
men as Prof. Fisher OF Yale University
and Sir James Crichton Browne,
Ii. DE-. RS. OF London spend the
best parts of their lives in studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities Of different
foods, II is certain that their advice is
absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance Of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Oats. The powers of endur-
ance OF the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty Of it and
eat ii frequently. 81

- OF each other that day.
- Miss Leslie had withdrawn
into the baobab and Blake had gone of
down the cleft for more salt He did not
return until after the others were
asleep. Miss Leslie had gone without
her supper, or had eaten some Of the
food stored within the tree
When, late the next morning, she
finally left her seclusion Blake was no
where in sight. Ignoring Winthrope's
attempts to start a conversation, she
hurried through her breakfast. and,
having gathered a supply of food and
water, went to spend the day on the
headland.
Evening forced her to return to the
cleft. She had emptied the water
flask by noon, and was thirsty. Win
thrope was doing beneath his can
opy, which Blake had moved some
yards down towards the barricade.
Blake was cooking supper.
He did not look up, and met her at
tempt at a pleasant greeting with an
inarticulate grunt. When she turned
to enter the baobab, she found the
opening Uttered with bamboos and
green creepers and pieces of large
branches with charred ends On either
side, midway through the entrance, a
vertical row of holes had been sunk
through the bark of the tree into the
soft wood
What is this?" she asked. Are
you planning porch?"
Maybe" he replied
But why should you make the holes
so far in? l know so little about these
matters, but l should have fancied the
holes would come on the front of the
tree"
You'll see in day or two"
How did you make the holes? They
look black, as though"
Burnt 'em, OF course-hot stones"
THAT was so clever of you!"
He made no response.
Supper was eaten in silence. Even
Winthrope's presence would have been
a relief to the girl; yet she could not
go to waken him. or even suggest that
her companion do SO. Blake sat
throughout the meal sullen and stolid,
and carefully avoided meeting her
gaze. Before they had finished, twi-

Ing comes over us when we come for
the first time to some great city, to
some grand pile of architecture, to
some splendid old ruin OF by-gone
ages. We are overwhelmed with the
grandeur Of the city, and awed and
subdued by the silent eloqhence of
the ruin. Such feelings are natural
and such expressions are natural
when we come face to face with that

tions. This Is the reason that when
