Get out Of my wayl" he growled
nercely.
In an instant he was once moro in
tent on his work, while the young girl,
flushed and indignant, stared angrily at
him.
Eleanor" called her uncle, sharply
for him. Keep away from the men
and the machinery. you'll get hurt"
The girl, unmindful of her uncle's
warning, had ventured again, in a
spirit Of %resentful daring, too near the
rolls A quick gust blew her skirts
against the machinery. Suddenly she
felt herself caught from the ground In
q terrible grip and thrown PROSTATE
on the rolls. She had a vision of a
white hot steel serpent darting toward
her. She gave one despairing shrek.
Then another hand caught her. She
felt the serpent's hot breath as it pass
able-beneath her and the
arched, rigid body that bridged the
rolls and held her.
Bob, too, had seen.
For a time, while the clock might
tick off a long minute, the group stood
as though paralyzed, the girl leaning
weakly against Bob's strong arm. 1t
was Sanger who first came out of his
daze.
Eleanor, Eleanor. Thank Godr!' 1t
was a signal for them all to gather
around the pale, trembling girl, forcing
Bob away from her and staring at her
stupidity, n~ervously, Cabling unintel-
lightly.
! Suddenly Bob strobe into the group,
a towering figure of wrath, elbowing
his way roughly. Before his sudden
intrusion the group Involuntary fell
back, leaving him face to face with
the girl whom he had saved. A hot
rage possessed him. He saw red as
on that night when he had fought
Haggin.
The girl, In the reaction from her
fright, did not see this. you saved
my life" she said tremblingly. ut

You little foolv' Bob burst out
hoarsely in his anger. How dare you
risk my lifef"
Later, In a cooler moment, Bob re-
membered the girl and could but ad-
mire her, by his roughness restored in
stantly to her strength and courage.
Her head went back spiritedly, How
dare you reprove mefa~she said.
"Dare2" Bob held out one great,
hairy arm and then glanced " the
slender figure before him. He could
have snuffed out her life with a single
sweep Of his arm. He laughed un-
pleasantly.
The scorn in her eyes shifted to con-
tempt. THAT Is q towards thought
You think because I'm @ girl and
you're so strong you can say what you
please. You cannot. I'm not afraid
of you"
"Cowardr' A deep flush crept under
the smut on his face. Il saved your

the astounded group-"when they were

Doctors Orders Had 10 be Disregard
ed BY Nurse.

When VIC were house doctors IL
years ago in one Of the large hos
pitfalls Of Boston, SAYS a writer in the
Herald Of that city. one of our num-
Der was at times inclined 70 imbibc
too freely when he had an evening
free from his surgical duties. One
night he came back to the hospital
at II O'Clock, and though perfectly
able to walk, his brain was bit be-
logged.
AS was usual, he went the rounds
Of the wards to see if his patients
were comfortable. One Of them
complained Of pain and the doctor
wrote a prescription in the "order
book" for the nurse to give the pa
tent, and then went off to bed. As
was customary he made morning
visit before the arrival of the head
surgeon, and as he reached the bed
of the man for whom he wrote the
prescription the previous evening,
the nurse said "she was very sorry,
but she couldn't give the medicine as
he had directed" and at the same
time she handed him the order book.
The doctor was overcome, for he
had written "Three roller bandages
to be taken every three hours"

LIouo OF IMMENSE VALUE.

A Hungarian chemist named
Brunn claims to have discovered a
liquid chemical compound which
doubles the density of nearly every
kind Of stone and renders it water
proof, and imparts to all metals
qualities which defy oxygen and
rust. While travelling in Greece
some 25 years ago he noticed that
the mortar in stones of ruins which
were known to be over 1000 years
old was as hard, fresh, and tenacious
as if it had been made only year.
He secured piece of the mortar,
and has been working on it ever
since until now.

THAT HoRRID LAssITUDE.

One of the curses Of the age is that
horrid feeling of lassitude that so
many of us suffer from, but pay
little heed to.
If a person has slept well at night
it is not natural to be drowsy, slug
gish and inert during the day. If
that is your normal condition 90
understanding.
Often the feeling is caused by a
malarial condition and little quiz
nine or a change of air will over
come it.
Frequently it is due to overdo-
ing; exhausted nerves is a recognized
cause of a heavy brain and "draggy'
bones.
Probably the chief cause is a weak
stomach. Indigestion makes one
sluggish, so does overeating without
proper exercise.
The cures are normal living, plen-
ty of fresh air and sunlight, and
proper rest. 1t is decidedly danger
Gus to seek to overcome lassitude
with drugs or stimulants. The ef-
feet is temporary and the reaction
bad.
