In One Of the Bunks Something
Stirred, Something Alive.

were working like mad, their faces
livid under the sunburn and their
hands trembling. They pushed each
other about and swore.
Thoph and Bill sprang over the rail
into the boat. Burgess turned and
beckoned to Ellery.
Come on!" he called. What are
you waitin' for?"
The minister remained where he
was.
Are you sure" he faltered.
Sure! Blast it all! l found the
log. 1t amt been kept for a fortni't,
but there's enough. It's smallpox,
tell you. Two men died Of 1t three
weeks ago. The skipper died right
afterwards. The mate No wonder
them that was left run away as soon
as they sighted land Come on! Do
you want to die, too?"
From the poison pit at the foot of
the ladder the man in the bunk called
once more.
"Water!" he screeched. Water!
Are you goin' to leave me, you d-n
cowards?"
For Heaven sakes!" cried Burgess,
clutching the rail, what's that"
Ellery answered him. ITS one Of
Them" he said, and his voice sounded
odd in his own ears. TITS one Of the
crew."
The minister turned. "Hush!" he
called, in answer to the voice, hush!
I'll bring you water in minute. Bur-
CESS" he added, you and the rest go
ashore. shall stay"
you'll stay? You'll stay? With
that? You're crazy as loon. Don't
be fool, man! Come on! Wen send
the doctor and somebody else-some
one that's had it, maybe. or amt
afraid am and I'm goin'. Don't be
fool"
Thoph, from the dory, shouted to
know what was the matter. Ellery
climbed the ladder to the deck and
walked over to the rail- AS he ap-
preached, Burgess fell back few feet
"Thoph," said the minister, address
ing the pair in the dory, there is a
sick man down in the forecastle. He
has been alone there for hours, I sup
pose, certainly since his shipmates ran
away. If he is left longer without
help, he will surely die. Some one
must stay. with him. You and the rest
row ashore and get the doctor and
whoever else you can. I'll stay here
till they come"
Thoph and his companions set up a
storm of protest. 1t was foolish. it
was crazy, the man would die anyhow.
and so on. They begged the minister
to come with them. But he was firm.
The oars dipped, bent, and the dory
moved off. The sound of the creaking
thole pins shot chill through Ellery's
veins. The water butts stood amid
ships, not far from the open door Of
the galley. Entering the latter he
found an empty saucepan. This he
filed from the cask, and then, with it
in his hand. turned toward the black
hatchway. Here was the greatest test
OF his courage. To descend that lad.
der. approach that bunk, and touch
the terrible creature in 1t, these were
the tasks he had set himself to do. but
could he?

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh,
being a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatmen Halls Catarrh Cure is
aiken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system,
disease and giving the patent strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for any
case that it fails to cure Send for list

Mrs. Brodie took from his home in Gull
ford, was sued by her Monday for
money alleged to be due her after
acting as Fosters housekeeper for
some years. His three horses, a colt,
two cows and heifer were attached. 1t
seems that Mrs. Brodie took in washings,
earning from so to SIS week, which
went into q common fund with Fosters
earnings, and the expenses for both were
paid out of the same fund. When Mrs
Brodie tired of this arrangement, it is
said she left and her daughter took the
money, which Mrs. Brodie alleges be-
longed to her by right. After being
sued, Foster gave her her sewing machine
and organ and substantial cash settle
ment, besides paying all costs of the

DIR. William I'll. Fitzgerald, native of
Middlebury, who graduated from the
medical department of the u. V. NJ. in
1885, is credited with being the discov-
erer of method OF producing local
anaesthesia without the use of drugs,
by pressure on the nerves OF the neck.
DIR. Fitzgerald has made extensive study
of these nerves and at a recent clinic Of
"a prominent physicians at New York
hospital, demonstrated his plan. several
operations being performed in their
presence where the patients, though fully
conscious, felt no pain. The doctor, who
is regarded in New York state as lead
ing specialist in riseases of the nose and
throat has apparently made a discov
cry which will revolutionize the customs
of the physicians. Among the demon
STATIONS were the anaesthetization of
woman's hand so that pins were thrust
into the flesh in various places without
her feeling it; in another case it was a
foot which was anaesthetized, fifteen in
csions being made without pain; two
teeth were painlessly extracted and an
ear drum punetured without sensation,
the latter being considered one of the
most painful of operations.

Someone entered the Brusa Granite
Co. sheds in Mortified, Monday morn
ing, sometime between four o'clock and
seven and defaced two stones which were
ready for shipment. On one stone the cap
was ruined and the other the die was
broken and spoiled. The offender was
someone who was evidently familiar
with the premises, as everything point
ed to apparent knowledge OF the sheds.
Two doors leading to the boxing room
were left open and other evidences of
sudden retreat No reason is known for
the motive for such devastation. The
stones were valuable, but just why they
were defaced instead of some of the
more valuable statuary is a mystery.
