CHAPTER XVII.
The Revenue cutter

 TT could not have been long. not
 to exceed a moment or two,
 when sudden leaping of the
 boat brought us back to a real ization of our position. As soon as I had regained control of the craft I reached out again and touched her hand.
 teThis is all so strange, so unexpect- ed, I can scarcely comprehend what has occurred.''
 Strange, yes, in the way it has hap pened,'' she coincided. But we can not afford to dwell upon that now. We are in peril, Do you really know where we are-for what you are steer ing?''
 Tt is largely a guess. There is nothing to give me guidance except as I unscrew the face of this compass and feel the needle"

 "Yes. That will depend entirely upon luck.''

 It was hard to determine the nature of the vessel, the sides looming close above us, but it was not the Sea Gull was certain of that from the height of the rail and the outline of a square foresail showing dimly against the sky. I. called out:

NAGGING A MorHER-IN-LAW

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am so interested in your helpful chats and advice that am venturI- ing to ask your opinion on the fol- lowing: am Q widow, living with my son and daughter-in-Iaw My state of health is such that am un-. able to earn my own living. My boy has a good business and Is only too pleased to do for me, but his wife ap- pears to object bitterly to my being beneath their roof. She takes every occasion to worry. me scolds me if am a moment late for breakfast- I am served last at tabIe-I get the 1eavings-but make no complaint. thankful that he Is so absorbed that he does not notice it. She nags me continually though make no reply. What ought I to do2 Shall break my silence and complain to my sOn2
 MRS. EILEEN B.
 Your case is certainly an unhappy one The bread of dependence is pro- verbally bitter. It is best not to arouse hard feelings between your son and the wife he must spend his future with. Use diplomacy. Tell him you would be greatly benefited if he could see his way to allow you a small amount to pay your board in a differ ent locality where youl could ha-vo a. change of air and the companionship of some quiet old lady for a while. You could extend the visit elsewhere indefinitely. AlIs well that ends peacefuIlv.

ALDERMAN COLE WOULD
 EXTEND FIRE LIMITS

When the common council meets to- night. Alderman Oliver c. Cole of the 11th district will present a, resolution calling for the extension of the fire limits, Alderman Cole says the pres ent limits were established 26 years ago and have not been changed since. He believes that the increase of wood en buildings in Black Rock, the west ESndy north on Main street and in the East End call for restrictions. Alder man Culs also wants the police to in vesdgate the height of awning poles in Main street. The ordinance for bids awning supports lower than S feet, inches from the ground. Alder man Cole claims there are many yio- lations of this ordinance and he be- ueves the police should correct them at once.

WHY DO YOU MASSACRE

A few days ago asked a beauty =ez2ker what she expected massage to do for her. She thought a moment, then in surprise said, 'I don't believe I know" How many of my readers are in the same undecided state of mind Do you really know why you massage your face, or do you just know it ais good and therefore blinttly go through the stunt?
 The first and most important object of mass2ging is to lift saggdng flesh As maturity comes on, the most besu- tifully proportioned face will grow fat and the muscles will sag with the add ed burden, unless cared for. To coun- teract this. beauty specialists invented massage It is about the only sure means Of counteracting the damage excessive flesh will do to a pretty face
 The second object of massage Is to promote healthy circulation. Rubbing brings the blood to the surface and keeps impurities continually in motion, thus permitting the body to cast them
 Another thing massage win do is to develop. a thin face or neck.
 Before massage the face must always be scrubbed thoroughly with warm water and good soap. then rinsed well with clear warm water A good cream is necessary and plenty of 1t should be used Many readers have asked me to recommend some proprietary cream for this purpose and while I know of many that are good. of course ! cannot recommendathem in this col umn- However a good cream for massage can be made from two ounces of almond on melted together and mix ed thoroughly then let harden and kept in a cool place until used
 In some cases it is we'll to message every night but unless the face is very much in need of it, would not recommend 1t oftener than twice a week IT cold cream be applied to tho Hl1in every night after bathing in

MEN BoUND-YET FREE

MEN BOUND-YET FREE '"rbe love that Is past did once very
 we'll
 Today it Is rusty and stale
 Your love for a maid you were sure
 would last
 Proved futile; twas bound to fail So cramped can we be in our mental
 So Ssnss' 5urdened with mignt-nave-been.. That life will become a woeful waste
 With it's many outs and ins.''
 The girl who consents to long en- gagement when she is young and her charms are at their height does so without stopping to think of the fu- ture. She has perfect faith in her sweetheart, is sure Of his love for her. His reason for not asking her to set an early date may be of the best. His intentions were good-to wait and put her in a home of her own when she should become his bride a raise of salary, waiting for the time to come when he should be free from supporting his younger brothers and sisters. All this seems very logical to the sweetheart.
 She leaves everything to him. Win ter6 pass ard summers come. He is devoted to her. He would miss every thing rather than stay away one Of those courting evenings. as he afrec- tionately terms his visits. He would not have their engagement 9. secret one He was eager and proud to have his friends know that they were to wed some day. In their earlier ac- quaintance. he was put out if he found some one else in her parlor to help carry on the conversation.
 His calls grow less frequent, and he seldom takes her out She makes no complaint. thinking he is saving for the cottage home he used to speak Of so often. but never mentions of late. She does not realize that they arc drifting apart She does not re- new her chain of acuuaintances when a break comes here and there, while he makes new friends and considers it no harm to enjoy their company. He is not wont to talk of them to his old sweetheart, possibly Sscause they are young and attractive women and are apparently pleased with his so- oiety He realizes that these young girls believe he must be heart whole and fancy free-and may entertain certain hopes regarding him. He ad- mires them, but it ends there, for he knows that, though seemingly free, he is bound.
 It must not be imagined that all men weary ere long of that sweetest of bonds-betrothaI; but, like rubber, there is an end to it's stretching-out possibilities. The fragranc of the opening bud of courtship is far more delightful than that of the fading flower. Girls. beware of long court ships.

warm water I think massage twice a. week is often enough.
 Be sure your strokes are upward all ways. for as I have said, the main object of massage is to lift the flesh into place. The strokes should be gentle if you do not wish to wear away the flesh, but if there is too much flesh they should be moderately hard. Too hard strokes are apt to cause enlarged poress so be careful on this point

THE HOSE FATRYs BTRTHDAY.
BHlVirriniIa VaIal

Once upon a time the Rose Fairy had a Birthday and, as everyone loved her, they wanted to give her a, birth4 day party. They decided that it to hold it under a big wild rose bush
 When the Rose Fairy woke up, her friend the golden humble bee said; This is your birthday. so put on your prettiest dress and go for your ride with me-
 out of her home on the sweet green grass There ready for her to step into, was the prettiest little carriage she had ever seen. To it was har- messed four big green grasshoppers, and on the seat all ready to drive were two beautiful green and gold bettles. Another bronze beetle was holding open the carriage door.
 She stepped in and sat down and off they flew. past great bushes of roses All the roses nodded and said: A happy birthday Rose Fairy" She threw them kisses and thanked them all and on they flew.
 When they reached the place where the party was to be held she got out and thanked them all for her nice drive. Under the wild rose bush her friends had fixed a pretty seat for her out of rose petals and the golden bee lead her to this seat of honor.
 First all the pretty beetles danced for her, then the grasshoppers sang a pretty song, and the humble bees played a. tune on their little hummers, and then they called her to come and look at her birthday cake.
 What pretty cake it was, and with rose on it for each year. There was honey, sugar, candied rose petals, be- sides all the special things fairies like to eat Her friends sat around and they told stories, sang songs. and danced until it was time to go home.
 As it was bright moonlight they waited until after dark. All the way the crickets and the katydids sang. When the Rose Fairy arrived home she was tired but said she had en- joyed her birthday very much and thanked all of her kind friends for giving her such e, pleasant surprise.
 Friends Of A. w Almstead, for nerly of this city, have received word that his home on Henchman court, Worcester, Mass, was recently de- stroyed by fire and the occupants mar nowly escaped with their lives. Hot ashes are believed to have been the cause. The damage is estimated at $2, 500.

A CAMPAIGN LIE.

The Clearwater Republican is will
ing to practice what it breaches in
the matter of county printing. We
have been willing to do printing for
the people of Orofino on the same basis
we would do work for the merchants
of Orofno, and that without being
forced to do the right thing by the
people. We have shown our good
faith in the fight for clean county
government by pledging to do county
printing for three cents line where
the people are now, through the con-
nivance of Frank Zelenka and Elmer
Torgerson, being held up for ten cents
a line.
If the socialists of Clearwater coun-
ty want newspaper they must dig
down into their pockets and support
it. Why should county funds be used
by Frank Zelenka and Elmer Torger-
son to maintain their paper?

guided the affairs of law can best be
seen by retrospection over the past
four years. Not litigant can truth
fully say that he has not received JUS

for the humane treatment received at
his hands. In leaving Alaska Judge
Warren Truitt takes with him the
love, respect, and friendship of the
entire community with whom he has
been thrown in contact, and what is
more rare, the high regard and sim
cere esteem of the entire Alaska

That the mantle of justice shall
ever fall upon the shoulders of his
successors who will prove equally
just, equally impartial, and equally
is the earnest desire of true
Alaskans.

Boston Globe: A scientific study
of the sensations Of soldiers under fire
has recently been made by an Italian
colonel, whose interest in the psychol-
ogy of battles led him to question
closely more than 1900 men one by
one. The results of his investigation
are given in the Italian Military Re-
view:
Nine-tenths of the men declared
their fear was greatest at the first
sound of the enemy's bullets in the
first battle. though they were much
less frightened than they had expected
to be, and that in each succeeding bat
tie their fear diminihed. They agreed
that nothing was so terrible, so har-
rowing to the nerves, as to stand in
the front rank motionless, exposed to
the fire which they were not permit
ted to return. So circulating was
the agony that they always welcomed
the orders to advance, even into great
er perils. That relieved the tension.
