deck above him. Women were |
screaming in fear. He thought the |
ship had struck an uncharted rock |
and was sinking. He was glad this |
was the end. He lay still in his |
berth.

the splashing of the hfeboats in the

Gardiner understood. A night attack
must have been made by German
cruiser; she had given the liner time |
to get her passengers into the boats
and was now sinking her.
The thought of Margery in an open |
boat at sea came to the man like
blow in the face. He leaped out of |
his berth, flung on his clothes and
rushed up on the deck. He saw Mar
gerry. She was standing at his side,
under the stars, on a deserted ship, |
now settling into. the water, which |
bulked around them, a great gray |
waste, primal wilderness.
AS they stood there a searchlght |
swept out of the night and enveloped
them, and once more came the shrek |
of a shell, dropping into the water
near them. Then the cruiser, evil
IDENTIFY satisfied with the result of her
work, sailed away; the twinkling
lights disappeared.
Flames and smoke were shooting
upward out of the stern, but here, to-
ward the bow, they were safe for the
moment. But the ship was settling
down.
why didn't you go?" demanded |
Gardiner, fercely.

81 looked and you were not in any |
of the boats. They tried to put me |
aboard, but l escaped Did you think |

And they forgot their peril, and the{
approach of death, and, side by side,
their arms about each other, they
watched the kissing fight of fire and
water until the water won.
The submerged stern blazed no.

them now. But the deck was getting,

COLORADO COAL OUTPUT LESS.
Decrease of 100000 Tons in 1918 on
Account of Strike.

The production OF coal in Colorado in
1918 was 1929, $40 short tons, valued at
Sl4, 035,000. Compared with 1912, the
returns for 1913 show decrease of
l,745,3l4 tons, or l5.9 per cent, in guam
tity and Of S2,3l0,246, or l4.l3 per cent,
in value. The smaller production in
1913, according to +. w. Parker, OF the
United States Geological Survey, was
due entirely to strike, called on Sep
TENDER 10 and put into effect week
later, which reduced the output in the
southern part of the state for the rest
of the year to about 40 per cent of the
normal. The production in 1918 was the
smallest since 1905. As in numerous
other instances of labor disafTection, the
| trouble in Colorado arose from demand
for the recognition of the union and led
to contest which for bitterness VIC.
lence, and bloodshed has exceeded any
similar conflict in recent history, neces-
stating first the state militia and final
" the presence of federal troops. A
condition of warfare still exists, al
though mining has been resumed with
nearly full complement of men under
the protection of the federal authorities.
Few of the mines were entirely idle at
any time during the strike, and although
1924 men (more than 90 per cent of
the average number employed during the
year, were idle for an average Of IS
days each, the average number of days
the mines worked was 900, or two days
more than in 1912, when a production
Of practically 100000 tons was mined
without single instance of strike or
suspension being reported. The total
time lost was equal to 20 per cent of
the time made, from which it appears
that except for the strike the production |
for the year would have amounted to |
about ll,500,000 tons, or within half a
million tons of the maximum record OF |
1910. 1t is doubtful, however, whether, |
even If there had been no interruption
by strikes, the output would have
reached that tonnage or even the record
of 1912, for owing to crop shortage in
adjoining states, there was reduced de-
mand for both railroad and commercial Il
coal.
The miners OF Colorado have a good Il
record for efficiency. In 1912 the aver
age production by each man employed
was S44 tons, and in 1913 it was S53
tons.
Reports to the bureau of mines show
that there were los fatal accidents in
he coal mines of Colorado in 1913, an
Increase of Is over 1912.

Seventeen Perfect Babies Out of 100000.


The Woman's Home Companion has
been conducting a series of better babies
contests throughout the United States.
Over 100000 babies have been examined
and scored by physicians using the
standard score-eard. In its August is
sue the Woman's Home Companion
prints pictures of IL babies in various
parts of the United States who have
scored perfect when judged by the rigid
tests of the better babies standard score
card. These children represent the ideal
which every mother of a child would
like to realize, and yet the better babies
bureau does not consider the finding of
this group of perfect babies its highest
achievement. The work of which the
better babies bureau is most proud is
that of helping the mothers of babies
who are not perfect, to correct all pos
sible defects in physical development,
diet, and general care, and to give their
babies a better opportunity to grow up
into strong and healthy men and women.
Following are the names and addresses
