Ferrol, standing by the after rail,

HIS REVENGE,

John Emsley and Peter Fogg were

Fogg was Il shaver. .-s ss l,..,.a

his partner many favors. Indeed, Fogg
was indebted TO him for all he was
Enisley therefore looked to Fogg to
help him out. He owed Fogg a thou
sand pounds, but looked to him not
only TO give him time on the amount
but lend him money to tide him over
with his other creditors. Fogg not
only declined to lend. but forced Ems
ley into bankruptcy on his own claim.
A week after Emsley had been ruined
there was change In the wool mar

Emsey went to Australia. where he
endeavored to recoup. but luck was
against him, and nothing that he
touched brought him money. He sank

Inability to see by day is matched By
the commoner night blindness which
most Of US have known in friend or
relative. This defect, which includes
an inability to see even by artificial
light, Is congenital with some people
and never overcome. 1t is often he
reditary. 1t may also be caused, how
ever, by long exposure to an overnight
light, coupled with fatigue. A strange
story is told concerning ships crew
two centuries ago which were over
come by night blindness SO extreme
that their captain was obliged to force
fight with a Spanish privateer dur

men would be helpless. In order to
obviate this difficulty for future occa-
sions he ordered each sailor to keep
one eye bound during the daytime,
