Liniment Cures Clock.

In the absence of his wife, F. C.
Perry decided to start, if possible, the
household clock, which had not run
for long time. He found a bottle,
the contents of which looked like oil,
and after literally greasing the clock
works, he put them together. When
Mrs. Perry returned home and heard
the long-silent clock ticking, she asked
her husband how he did it, pointing
to the clock on the shelf.
"A little Yankee genius, and OIL"
replied Perry, as he escorted his wife
to a closet and showed a bottle on the
shelf.
Why" exclaimed Mrs. Perry, that
medicine is for rheumatism. Win

her deck was deserted, though she had
steam up, and from the volume of smoke
pouring from her funnel was all ready to
get under way made no impression upon
him.
With the thought that in another in
slant he would fold that precious little
bundle of humanity in his arms, the ape
man swung down into the darkness be-
low. Scarcely had he released his hold
upon the edge of the hatch than the
heavy covering fell clattering above him.
Instantly he knew that he was the vic
tim of plot, and that far from rescuing
his son he had himself fallen into the
hands OF his enemies. Though he imme-
diately endeavored to reach the hatch
and lift the cover, he was unable to do
so.
Striking a match he explored his sur
rourdings, finding that little compart-
ment had ben partitioned off from the
main hold, with the hatch above his head
the only means of ingress or egress 1t
was evident that the room had been pre-
pared for the very purpose of serving
as a cell for himself.
There WIS nothing in the compartment,
and no other occupant If the child was
on beard the Kincaid he was confined
elsewhere.
For more than 20 years. from infancy
TO manl.ood, the ape-man had roamed his
savage jungle haunts without human
ccmpsIionship of any nature. He had
learned at the most impressionable period
of his life to take his pleasures and his
sorroWs as the beasts take theirs.
So II was that he neither raved nor
stcrmed against fate, but instead waited
patiently for what might next befall him,
though not by any means without an eye
TO doing the utmost to succor himself.
To this end he examined his prison care
fully, tested the heavy planking that
formed it's wallis and measured the dis
tance of the hatch above him.
And while he was thus occupied there
came suddenly to him the vibration OF
machinery and the throbbing OF the pro-
peller.
The ship was movingl Where to and
TO what fate was II carrying him?
And even as these thoughts passed
through his mind there came 70 his ears
above the din of the engines that which
caused him to go cold with apprehension.
Clear and shrill from the deck above
him rang the scream OF frightened
woman.
