But they had known nothing of our
yacht. The men whom we had left
there, seeing the soldiers advancing
in their boat through the fog. had be-
lieved them to be US; they themselves
were not seen by the soldiers, who, in
rowing, naturally had their backs to-
ward the open sea. Thus the two par
ties ran into each others arms. Cut
off from the open sea, the soldiers had
nowhere to escape; on the other hand,
the men in the yacht, anxious to learn
our fate, opened a parley with them,
being all Russians and from the same
territory. In the end it was recog-
niZed that truce must be effected
until the fortune of war should de-
eide for one side or the other
Fools that we were," said Nikolai
to me. Had we known what we
know now we should have let the
Potemkin land her new captives here,
concealing our yacht in the offing, and,
when she had departed, we should
have taken them with us and sailed
away. Now all is lost. The vessel
will pound to pieces on the rocks and
our captives will die with the crew.
Or if they land, we shall encounter
the attack Of a hundred desperate
men. At all costs the Potemkin must
be saved"
1--WE can save her yet" / answered.
"One lens is still unbroken. 1t was
struck from the frame but not shat
tered. With this we can bring the
vessel in safely"
"How?" asked Nikolai
took him up into the light cham
Der. AS l had said, one of the three
great lenses had remained uninjured.
Then explained my plan. AS Nikolai
took it in he became greatly excited.
He clapped me upon the shoulder and
strode up and down the room, vowing
that the bride should yet be restored
to her husband. from whose arms she
had been snatched short week after
the wedding, twelve years before.
This was the scheme. The single
lens, set into the central frame. would
convey the light straight out to sea
and afford signal for the cruiser.
The Potemkin would anchor in the
offing, place the prisoners in a boat
under a guard, and row them ashore.
We should admit them, capture and
disarm the guard, and hold them in
the vaults. The next party that came
would meet a similar fate; and so
all who arrived, for even il they sus-
pected any danger, we could defend
the lighthouse against a regiment.

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mild
L0x0tfue to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

As child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-
tions of the bowels are of the utmost
Importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of GER
tain foods. A food will constipate one
and not another, and so we have a
healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many.
It is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ-
ual circumstances, is DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin. This Is laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu-
ton. At the first sign Of a tendency
to constipation give small dose Of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
prompt action will follow in the morn
ing. It not only acts on the stomach
and bowels but it's tonic properties

Place for Prayer.

Probably few youngsters make such
a matter-of-fact business of prayer as
a certain little Chicago laddie. He was
going to bed one night in an upper
room, which was heated in the old
fashioned way by a stovepipe running
through the floor. A caller sat with
the family in the room below, and this
is what fioated down to the caller in
the child's clear treble:
"Oh, Billy, come over here by the
stovepipe! It's bully warm place to
pray"

Music of the Chinese.

Chinese music does not entirely lack
admirers among occidentals. There
are, it appears, trained musicians of
our own kind who seriously profess
uncertainty whether the Chinese have
not really advanced beyond us in mu-
sic.
One authority has pointed out that
the Chinese were the first in the his
tory of music to develop a system of
octaves, circle of fifths and various
other h2rmonical technics, and these
in the days when our ancestors had
not even evolved the simplest forms
of melody. While no one has, appar-
emily, contended that we shall finally
arrive at an understanding of and a
liking for something that shall ap-
proach the Chinese harmonious dis.
cords there are not wanting those
who claim to have discovered among
the musicians and lovers of music a
steadily increasing constituencies to
harmonies the existence of which was
formerly unknown.

GHT-STNGING. PENMANSHIP.
DRAWING IN OUR CITY SCHOOLS

Our Board of Education alert al
ways, so far as it's means will allow,
to keep our city schools abreast of
the best systems in other places. at
a recent meeting determined to in
troduce signt-singing in the eIemen-
tary grades.
Miss Ruth Mcmillan. of Atlanta,
has been elected supervisor of mu-
sic. She will pay weekly visits to
Marietta and give lessons both in
the class rooms to the children and
to the teachers after school.
OF course it will take time for
children to learn to sing by note and
too much should not be expected the
first year. Systematic training
along this line however, ought in a
few Yeas to result in our grammar
scIool graduates being able to sing
by note any popular music thus ad-
ding much to the pleasures of social
and religious life.
The Edmondson muscular system
of penmanship has also been intro
duced 1t is more practical and
business-like, slants more and can
be written more rapidly 1t will not
be more copy book work, but the
teachers will be required to teach
it.
NJ. Edmondson, the author OF the
system, will spend several days at
the beginning of the term in in
structing both teachers and pupils
in this method
Prang's Graphic Drawing has also
been introduced. The books are su-
perior to the ones they displace and
at the same time cheaper.

days ago. The only thing worrying
the mill is the fact that its dyes have
been coming from Germany but we
can all wear white sox if necessary.
They are the best kind any how.

NEAT SCHEME OF REVENGE
Theater Usher Certainly Got GIori.
ousIy Even With Man Against
Whom He Had Grudqe.

For reasons of his own the theater
usher disliked the man. He was stor-
ing up some grudge, real or fancied,
and he resolved to get even. He puz-
zled his head to invent some novel
and effective method OF avenging him
self, but decided on none until he saw
the man enter the theater one night
with pretty young lady. He hurried
forward, took the checks, and said,
This way, please" and conducted
them to the best two seats in the
house. Then he went to the rear of
the auditorium and chuckled to him
self while the pretty young lady was
whispering. These are splendid seats,
Mr. Jenkins"
Aren't they" Mr.. Jenkins re-
turned. Il told the man in the box
office to give me the best he could,
and he knew the ones like"
1t was three or four minutes later
that the usher came down and said:
Let me see your checks, please"
They were produced.
Seven rows back, in the center of
this section said the usher severely
But these are the ones that were
given to me- said the man.
Who gave them to you?" asked the
usher, in the same chilly way.
Why, an usher | didn't notice"
"Of course not, said the usher, but
this gentleman has checks for these
seats"
The pretty girl said oh dear!"
and began to gather up her wraps.
Her escort said nothing, but he was
very red in the face as they moved
back several rows and heard one or
two men say:
What nerve that man had. Funny
how people will try to take seats they
are not entitled to-"
The usher heard, too, and felt doubly
avenged.
