lions of reaction in the mild grum-
blings that arose Although the need
for struggle against the tireless dy-
namics of the river was as fnsistent as
ever, although it seemed certain that
a moments cessation of effort would
permit the enemy an irretrievable
gain, he called a halt on the whole
work.
Boys" said he irrelevantly, Tets

He threw himself full length against
a slanting pile, leisurely filing his
pipe. The men stared a moment and
then followed his example. The hori-
zon lay low and black against the
afterglow. Beneath it the river shone
like silver. Over beyond the rise of
land that lay between the river and
Stearn's bayou could be seen the cloud
Of mingled smoke and steam that
marked the activity of the dredge.
Orde was apparently more at ease
than any of the rest. but each instant
he expected to hear the premonitory
crack that would sound the end of
everything. Finally he yawned and
got to his feet.
Now" said he, a new ring in his
voice. come on and let's get some
thing doner'
They responded to a man.
By midnight the water had gone
down slightly. Half the crew snatched
a little sleep. For several hours more
the issue hung in equilibrium. Then,
with the opening of the channel into
Stearn's bayou, the heaviest pressure
was relieved. For the moment the
acute danger point was passed. Orde
spent the next two days in strengthen
ing the defenses. The men were able
to take their quota of meals and of
sleep.
The jam had been successfully held
at the iron railroad bridge above Red
ding, but only by the most strenuous
efforts. Braces of oak beams had
been slanted where they would do the
most good. Chains strengthened the
weaker spots, and on top of all ton
after ton of railroad iron held the
whole Tmmovably. Nolan had all TIE
help he required. Every device known
was employed to strengthen the jam
For only a few hours was the result
in doubt. Then, as the Clarion jubi-

Orde received all this with satisfac-

Newmark sent word that a sudden
fit of sickness had confined him to the
house.
Now Orde decided to break out a
channel through the jam itself. This
was necessary preliminary to getting
the logs in shape for distribution. An
opening was made in the piles. and the

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

At the Y. III. C. A.

The boys who were so fortunate as
to hear DR.. w. S. Marquis in his talk
to the B. G. NJ. at the Y NJ. c. A. yes
/ terday afternoon viii not soon forget
the splendid address that was given
| them. The speaker did not confne
himself to the subject assigned, Sun
| day Baseball" but took instead the
game of baseball as a tyf-e of human
| life and treated it in a way that will
put new meaning into the game for the
boys who listened TO him.
The diamond with its four bases rep
resented the field of life. The home
plate was the home from which the
/ boy started out into the activities Of
life First base was school, second
base the church. third base the bust
ness life, and home again represented
the end of lifes journey. The diamond
was peopled with various cleverly nam
ed players, who were trying to put
out" the runner. There was Foxy
Tempter' in the pitchers box, bud
Bad Habits" as catcher. and Lazy
Loafer," SHADY Fun" sly Sinner"
and others of their sort scattered about
the field God himself is the umpire,
and the ten commandments are the
rules of the game If a player violates
the rules and will not play fair the
umpire puts him out of the game.
About the game as played on Sunday
Dr. Marquis spoke suggestively rather
than dogmatically. Sunday is Gods
day, set apart as a day of rest and
worship" said the speaker Its pur-
pose is to lead us nearer to Him. If
anything leads us away from God, or
binders us in coming to Him, and in
knowing him as intimately as we
ought, then it is better let alone. 1t
comes under the classification of
shady fun So Sunday baseball, or
anything else that interferes with
Gods day, interferes with the peace
and welfare and happiness of those
whom 1t touches, and is better left
alone
