CHAPTER XI.
The Poicer of an Amulet.

WHAT followed the ceremonial attendant up
the presentation of the White Elephant
to Lucille was all blur to her. She remembered
being taken to some temple, the triumphant re-
turn in the chair upon the back of the sacred
beast but always before her eyes had loomed the
figure of Hugo Loubeque. This afternoon, when
she had come back to the hut which the Chief
assigned TO her. she felt certain relief at know
ing the man about.
Vaguely she had dreaded his coming before
but always had she thought it inevitable that
he would come upon her. She knew him too well
to imagine he could have survived the ships fire

Grayely as any king bestowing an order upon
a loyal subject, the old lifted the amulet
by its two golden threads and dropped it about
her neck amulet of a curious milky stone
carved into the semblance of elephant and gilt
tering with tiny precious stones, set spell
out certain native words.
Immediately the ceremony had been per-
formed, every native lifted his shield and brought
his spear against it with all his strength The
sound grew to such volume she thought it would
deafen her. Bewildered she looked about smiI-
ing at what she knew to be a sign of these peo-
pies belief in her. And then the smile died upon
by one of fear.
For, behind the throng, arms folded his satur-
nine face impassiye, cold, determined stood Hugo
Loubeque, his eyes fastened undeviatingly upon
her.

the shadows resolve themselves into figures of
men.
She had but time to make out their brown
color, fear binding her. She closed her eyes
fesrfully, knowing she was surrounded. hand
touched her forearm timidly. Something in the
touch was reassuring. She looked about upon q
solid ring of scantily clad natives who stared at
her in bewildered amazement. Again the hand
touched her arm
The native stood beside her, evidently much
bolder than his fellows. Lucille could scarcely
repress smile she caught the incredulity on
the mans fcce as he looked at his hand, eyi-

Already her brain was working at lightning
speed The reason for the fear and sstonishment
that possessed her csptors was obvious. They
had never before a white woman And the
girl was thinking how she might use this thing
which must appear a miracle to them.

JNSCIOUSNESS lapsed slightly and
was followed by a state of dull
apathy. Some instinct held Lucille's
arms upon the oar that had fioated
to her when the life boat smashed
itself against the side of the burn
ing Empress. First, the immensity,
the righteousness of expecting to
reach safety from the mighty ocean
impressed her. Only the natural

The only thing that exceeds the
cold-blooded gall of the food hogs is
the stupidity of the people who let

Fixing tine BIams.-Each Of the
Christian rulers of Europe, when he
buckled on his sword and started for
war, asked God to bless his army and
his cause. q
This doubtless encouraged his be-
loved subjects, especially those who
believe that kings rule by divine
right; for they would think that a
kings suppIcation to the Almighty
would go higher and be more persua-
sive at the Throne of Peace and Love.
1t will probably answer another
purpose. The ruler who loses can de-

Outstanding the JeWs.-You've
got to hand it to Car Nick if he can
coax the beloved Jews into fighting
for Russia. For if he can make the
Jews believe he loves them, after all
he has done to them in the past, then
Nick is quite some persuader.
But why mix Jews and Pagans in
this Christian war?
Is it fair to make them risk their
lives for our Christian civilization
until after we have Christianized
them? .-'
The Jews have no country of their
own, and have been getting along
very well without one. We Chris
tians wouldn't let them have any
share worth while of our Christian
civilization. So why ask them to
fight for it and help save it for us?
The only reason l can see for the
Japs butting in to this war mess is
that they are gradually abandoning
paganism and accepting Christianity
as we get it in tired sermons of
modern preachers.

IF you want to be healthy and happy you
should keep on the sunny side of the street
just as much as you can. The more sun.
light you get the better, even in the hottest
weather. Uuless your body has been weakened
by drinking or other excesses sunlight will
make your heart beat better, your liver do
more efficient work. and every organ and tissue
In your body take on new activity. In fact, the
human race would be far better off If all our
buildings were made OF glass or some other
transparent material which would permit every
nook and corner to be permeated with sunlight.
The world is just beginning to realize how
essential sunlight is to all living things. Not
only does 1t help human being to digest food
more easily and keep in better health but, sci
ence now declares, 1t actually enables man to
do more work and a woman to become more
beautiful.
All these beneficial effects are due to the
almost endless variety of unseen rays con-
tanned In every bit Of light that emanates from
the sun. Although these rays are invisible to
human eyes science is able to identify many of
them by the use Of ingenious screens which
cut off all the white and colored light that is
visible. 1t is those unseen rays which cause
the chemical change In a Photographic plate,
produce the aurora borealis, exert a curative In
fuence upon leprosy and tuberculosis, fill the
atmosphere on the sunny side OF the street
with oxygen and nitrogen and do many other
marvellous things.

Prof. Fisher declares, is due to our modern
ways OF earning a living.
Directly or indirectly" he says, "all organic
diseases are occupational; and as only two
deaths in a hundred are free from some dis
ease or other-despite the defeat of epidemic
diseases-the great fact of occupation looms
up the most important fact In life.
"Our division OF labor is the curse OF our
times because II deprives us OF opportunity for
versatility and ties so many Of us to the deadly
monotony Of a single repeated operation OF
the hand or brain. Versatility is the unescap-
able condition Of life We never thrive
until we live according to that condition.
Nothing more signally illustrates how dia-
metrically we are travelling against our own
interests than the much-vaunted feat of modern
efficiency whereby a bricklayer now lays ten
bricks In the time he could formerly lay but
one He lays the ten by no longer having to
stoOp for them. Did you ever hear of calls

arms outspread, and then turn your arms at
right angles to your legs, and then stoop and
touch the floor, you will be performing the
most important evolution known to calisthenics
II is precisely the evolution OF which the
bricklayer has been deprived. -..

Small families stronger and more vigorous than
large families Where there great many children

the average being weaker and less able to Withstand

There Is nothing In science to support the theory

THE two front wheels of motor car
are connected by rigid axle which
= is capable of being turned so as to
proceed in direction not quite parallel with
that connecting the two hind wheels. BY this
arrangement the car is steered: and when,
by means of it, the front wheels are
turned so as to run at an angle with their
previous course, the hind wheels have to
follow them as best they may. This pre-.
sents no difficulty II the machine is 60
ing at slow pace, and II the road is
firm and dry. But when the road is slip
perry from rain or OIL the momentum which
the machine has already attained causes
it to press the front wheels sideways in
stead of forward. Then the phenomenon
known as "skidding" appears, and the
front wheels slip instead of revolving.

ten years apiece have been added to the lives
of 5000 babies who formerly would have died
in an hour. This adds $4,000 years to the total,
or years to the average. But suppose that at
the same time, year has been Topped on from
the lives OF 1000 men who die at ages above
forty. This cuts off 1000 years for the total,
or one-tenth of a year for the average
In mere years, then, there is still net gain
of $40. But in human destiny the net result
is not gain but loss The years given to the
babies are less significant than the years taken
from the men. The years given TO the babies
with no years TO follow-are not servceable
years The years taken from the men are the
best years of the best lives in the community
The appalling fact is that although at all
early ages CASUALLY under forty there has been
gain, yet at all ages beyond that point. there IS
a steady and progressive loss. The authority
for these facts is abundant. They were re-
vealed by the late Conservation Commission
and are seing every day reiterated by the life
insurance authorities. The same facts are, In
deed, the burden OF the statistical songs OF all
nations as sung at the recent International Hy-

the construction Of bullets, torpedoes, and
dirigible balloons-and IL 1t is compelled
to do so, suddenly develops centrifugal
force. II the body is in the shape OF a
parallelogram running on four wheels,
this shows itself by the outer, or "off,"
side lifting from the track, while the in
ner side bites into 1t.
On racing track this tendency Is coun-
teracted by building, at the angles where
the cars have to turn, a steeply sloping
bank up which they climb sideways, so
that the track, in fact, lifts as do the
outer wheels, and the car heels over un-

must fall out. BY this the liability to
skid is probably much increased.
An English automobile engineer raises
the question of whether the present mode
of steering racing cars Is not mechanically
