There Is the most intimate relation
between the condition Of the blood and
the activity Of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
part of its nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality Of the blood.

ton is anmmia, or lack of blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance OF
the health of the body nor any form Of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
Of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles Of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure ia
digestion than plenty of pure, well-ox-
idized blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills

to be in the gallery and in broken

| O'Rourke took upon himself the du-
| ties of first officer under Captain
Quick. The Irishman cared little for
the sea, knew less of first officers
duties; but it was patent that Quick
could not stand every watch, and
ORourke was not to be daunted by
any such slight matter as nautical in
experience.
| In the knowledge that they were
safely off at last there was poignant
relief to the wanderer, as he stood by

night imminent and the ship still and
peaceful. "Ill stand the night watch

you to take hold without spraining the

Thank ye," said O'Rourke. In fact,
he had long been sensible that he was
very drowsy; the night wind in his
face had something to do with that.
Good night" he returned, and went
down the ladder to the deck.
At it's foot he paused, turning curl
ously; 1t seemed that surely there
must be some serious trouble afoot in
the crew. The Irishman could see in
the glimmer of the forecastle lantern
a confused blur of naked, shining,
brown bodies and limbs, apparently
ineXtricably locked. A scream rang
shrill and there followed the sound of
a heavy fall.
Overhead, on the bridge, Quick was
roaring himself hoarse, without effect,
The sounds of shutting, of blows,
harsh breathing, stiGed cries, contin-

whirling, aft, toward the superstruct-

the air; the wind of it famed

| O'Rourke conceded a bit doubtfully.
He swung about and moved aft SLOW

moment or two he stopped and picked
up a long, -bladed knife, double
edged and keen as a razor. The point
was broken, having doubtless been
snapped off at the moment of contact
with the deck-house O'Rourke turned
1t over soberly.
