vigil to investigate such sources of In

In the cabin again, with the lamp
turned high, he dragged out chart

Still no sign OF Appleyard.
He must have tramped. at q rude

he discovered either break In the

Cleaning my pipe. Go on and

whats o'clock?"
Appleyard mumbled something in
coherent as he stepped out on deck;
and Coast turned over and slept
again.
IT seemed hours later when he found
himself abruptly wide awake, in a
tremor OF panic anxiety bred of a
fancy that human voice had cried
out in mortal terror, somewhere
within his hearing. He started UP, In
formed by that sixth sense we call in
tuition that conditions abroad the
Echo had changed radically since the
last time he had fallen asleep; and
1t seemed no more than second from
the moment his eyes opened until
he found himself in the cockpit, gaz-
ing dazedly into the inscrutable
heart of the fog.
At first, In his confusion, he could
see nothing amiss. The Echo was rid
ing on quiet tide and an even keel
with scarcely any perceptibe motion.
The encompassing darkness was in
tense. unfathomable, profound; only
the forward light showed dim halo
of yellow opalescence near the mast
head. and the faint glow from the
cabin lamp quivered on slowly swirl
Ing convolutions of dense white va
por, like smoke The port and star
board lights had been extinguished,
as they should be when vessel

What. then had interrupted his
slumbers?
He turned with question shaping
Dn his lips.
AppIeyard was nowhere visible.
Coast required some minutes before
he was convinced of the fact of the
little mans disappearance. But the
cabin proved as empty as the cock
pit. and the tender was gone.
The cabin chronometer chimed the
hour of four In the morning.
AS the echoes died, as though they
had evoked the genius of that place,
a strange and dreadful cry rent the
silence. sounding shrill across the wa
ters. yet as if coming from great
distance.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort Of Nelghbor to

ton for three long months after the

despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.

beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day In 2
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more SO
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change,
my 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. l put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he rellshed at once. He
improved from the beginning, the ec-
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy, with a delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. will
