Nina made her father as comfort
able as she could on the stone floor,
while Madison Peters examined the in
tricate machinery of the light. 1t was
not new to him. for he had formerly
been assistant to John Wallace. In ten
minutes he had found the difficulty
and conquered it.
The Pillar o. Fire again flashed forth
its comforting rays over the black wa
tiers of the sound.
Madison Peters helped Nina and
Captain Simon to put the lighthouse
keeper to bed. Then the young man
looked down at the girl smiling so con-
fdently up at him.
"You think the steamer is safe?'s she
asked eagerly.
'There isn't a better sailor here
abouts than Joe Heatherby," he said
generously.
"'Ceptin' mebbe yourself" put in
Simon H~eatherby.
I'm going ashore to bring the doctor
off," said Madison hastily. I've lost
my boat, Mr.. Wallace, so l guess I'll
have to borrow your other dory."

"You better stay here tonight, cap'n."
said Madison as he turned away. "I'll
stop at your house and tell your wife
you're all right"

ly. "Mebbe there's some news about
the steamer. Joe might have put in at
Oyster Harbor."
Most likely" agreed Madison; then
he leaned owe and murmured reassur-
ingly to Nina: He's all right, Nina.
Don't you worry and he fastened
out.
Madison cried Nina. blushing
from brow to chin.
And long after Madison Peters had
started forth on his perilous trip back
TO the village Nina sat there, a tender
smile playing about her lips.
Three hours afterward Madison Pc
tiers returned with the doctor. The
two men were coTered with sleet, and
Madison was almost exhausted as he
sank down in a chair in the sitting
room. Nina had a pot of hot coffee
waiting for them. and after the doctor
and Captain H~eatherby had disappear
ed within the sickroom Madison set
down his cup and smiled wanly.

apologized Madison. sitting up and
passing a hand over his bewildered
eyes. 81 ought to tell you that there's

in at Oyster Harbor and telegraphed
home that they'd come in tomorrow.
Captain Simon would like to hear
that"
IL will go and tell hin" said Nina.
She was gone some time, and when
she returned Madison was still sitting
there by the table, only his head was
down on his arm.
For a long while Nina watched him,

cheeks until she looked like a minia-

Points on Palmistry.

Smooth. conical fingers are a sign OF
talkativeness and a merry disposition
Strong. knotted fingers show prn-
dence and capacity.
A palm too slim. narrow and feeble
indicates instinct without capacity.
If the palm is too large the person
is coarse and animal-like.
If the outer joint OF the fingers
forms a knot the person has well ar
ranged ideas.
The individual who has knots at the
middle joints of the fingers always has
a place for everything and everything
In its place.
Intellect belongs to knotted fingers;
grace to smooth ones.
The person whose fingers are smooth
and pointed is guided wholly by In
~spiration and never has a aso for
what he does.
Large hands mean a close attention
to minute detail.
Broad nails show the owner to be
retiring and gentle.

BREMNER'S DEATH
"PLEA FOR RADIUM"
Secretary Lane Sees Added Argument
in Favor of Conservation
of Supply.

Washington, Feb. 7.--Secretary Lane
of the department of the interior sees
in the death Thursday of Representative
Robert G. Bremner of New Jersey, n
plea for the treatment of cancer in its
early stages and an increased supply
of radium as an aid in the fight against
the disease.
In an official statement yesterday Sec
rotary Lane, who has strongly advocat-
ed legislation for the conservation OF
the nations radium, said:
"The surgeons in charge of the Balti-
more hospital were reluctant to use the
radium treatment in Bremner's case be-
cause, as they said, the one gram of
radium that they could bring together
in the United States for use in his ease
would be entirely inadequate for attack
ing with any hope of success the giant
eancerous growth that was sapping the
life of the young member of Congress.
But continued Secretary Lane, "Mr.
Bremner was anxious that the expert
ment be tried so that even a failure
might teach lessons that would help the
common cause. His death is another OF
the thousands OF pathetic appeals for
treatment of cancer in its early stages,
and for larger supplies of radium to
help the surgeons in all parts OF the
country in their fight against this dread
disease"

SUFFS PLAN BIG

Win March on Congress May Q and
Demand Suffrage Amend
mani

Washington, Feb 7.--Suffrage leaders
began active preparations yesterday for
the national suffrage demonstration to
be held here May 0. Their first move
was a request for a police permit for
the use of certain streets on the day of
the demonstration.
Suffrage leaders plan to make the
demonstration surpass the one that was
held the day before President Wilson's
Inauguration, which was marked by sew
eral near riots. Each state in the Urion
will be represented in the procession
that is to move on Congress demanding
a constitutional amendment enfranchis-
ing women. The procession, according
to present plans, will form in front of
the White House, and, after a mass
meeting at nearby theatre, viii move
on toward the capitol, where on the
broad front plaza an open air demonstra-
ton will follow.
Demonstrations viii be held simultane-
ously throughout the states on May Z.
Those who participate in the state dem.
onstrations win then hurry to Wash
ington to take part in the one that is
to march on Congress week later.

RUTLAND's FIRE LOSS FOR 1918.
Was SIS, 1o3.ol--Chief Recommends Auto
Combination Truck.

In his annual report Chief Engineer
j. c. Dunn reports the fire loss for Rut.
land City for 1918 as S35,l93.0l. This
comparatively small loss is in spite OF
several dangerous fires, notably at Tenn.
pie Brothers marble shops. The esti.
mated value of the property involved
was s93,l65, and the difference between
that and loss represents in some meas.
ure the value of an efficient fire fighting
service.
Chief Engineer Dunn states that the
department now has ~ men in all, nine
regulars and Is call men. The apparatus
consists of two hose wagons carrying
l.l00 feet each, two steamers, one lad
der truck, and one exercise wagon. The
pairs of horses are in the service of the
department. Now on hand are 800 feet
of two and one-half inch new hose, 4,500
feet of good hose, $50 feet poor hose.
During the year the department re-
sponded to 7S alarms, of which 2S were
true bell alarms, 10 false bell alarms
and 40 still alarms.
Chief Dunn recommends the purchase
of new fire alarm boxes to take the place
of the five old pony boxes now in use
and several boxes in other parts of the
city, also the purchase of 500 feet of
two and one-half inch fire hose in the
spring.
He also recommends that the city
dispose of the old steamer and purchase
an automobile combination chemical and
hose wagon in the spring. He points out
the need of this, which becomes press
ing when both teams are out lighting a
FIRE at the same time. Needed repairs
suggested by Mr.. Dunn include paint
ing the ceiling and walls of the first
floor at station No. /, also both hose
wagons and the exercise wagon.
