pointed to the form upon the bed.
"Oh, sir!" exclaimed the frightened
woman, what has happened? What
has happened to my poor dear mis-

"Nhy did you let her leave the

''She sent me away, sir. 1 never

ing over the still figure and tenderly
smoothing back the disheveled hair
"It's only the cheek bruised and the
forehead cut little-it's the blood
that makes it look like bad hurt.
See, when 1 battle it, 1t Is not bad

worn-out, poor thing--and she's asleep

He made no answer to the wOman's
speech, but turned toward me. "Five

bowed in silent acceptance of his
wishes, and turned upon my errand.
Fortunately, the doctor was at home,
and returned at once with me to my
friend, where, after a careful exami-
nation of his patient, he assured the
anxious son that the wounds were
only slight, and that her unconscious
condition was simply 'the result of
overstimulation, perhaps" as he deli
cately put it. She would doubtless
waken in her usual rational state-an
occurrence really more to be feared
than desired, since her peculiar SEN
sitiveness might feel too keenly the
unfortunate happening. Anyway

on in an anxious tone, as he marked

There's something in the night / think,

Correct Training.

If you are the mother of little boy
or girl YOU are undoubtedly anxious to
give your child the very best start in
life. This is possible only through
correct training. The son who in his
youth has not learned obedience, self
reliance, habits of nnatness, ETC., is
not as well equipped to meet the
world as his fellOwmdn who may not
have material advantages but who has
been schOOled in life's lessons from the
very cradle.
One of the most important things
for the small boy or girl to learn early
In childhood is to pay attention. Now
the faculty of attention is one which
can and should be encouraged and de-
veloped at very early age, and which
proves an inestimable benefit all
through life. incidentally, it leads on
to interest, and thus bestOws great
source of pleasure to the possessor,
for persons who have never learned TO
focus and maintain their attention on
given subjects or objects have little
hope of experiencing any interest In
them worthy of the name.

Your Liver

College Men In War.

Possibly more than any other war
ever waged, the present European
struggle has drawn into its vortex men
of education, men Of mental attain
ments and students. In the very ma
ture of this war it could not be other
wise. With the possible exception Of
Russia there is not nation engaged
but has had to draw deeply upon its
human reserve sources. 1t is doubt
full if there is family in France, Ger
many or Great Britain that does not
have representative somewhere
among the fighters. What toll this
war has taken of the intellect of Eng
land is indicated by a report of Doc
tor Burrows, principal of Kings col
lege. From this it appears that regu-
lar men students Of English birth have
fallen from 800 in the year previous
to the war to about 100 now. The col
lege has contributed 512 officers to the
army and navy. And the work of the
college itself, especially the scientific
part of it, is directed largely along
lines incidental to the war.

both upon the scene.
The woman In her frenzy had brOk-

And she had found him.
She had wound her arms about him,
and had dragged his still sleeping
form upon the floor. He would not
awaken, even though she gripped him
to her heart and shrieked her very
soul out in his ears. He would not
waken. The face, though whittier than
her own, betokened only utter rest
and peace. We drew her, limp and
voiceless, from his side. "We are too
late" the doctor whispered, lifting
with his finger one of the closed lids,
and letting it drop to again.-"See

wrist; and, as he spoke, he slipped the
sleeve up, barred the sleeper's arm.
From the wrist to elbow 1t was livid
purple, and pitted and SCARED with
minute wounds-some scarcely sealsd
as yet with clOtted blood.
''In heavens name, what does 1t all
mean?" asked.

claimed, lifting the other hand-'here

written in faint but rounded charac-

HURLED SURGEON TO PATIENT
Sailors of United States Navy During
Storm Threw Officer From Small
Boat Onto a Tug.

Officers and crew of the Wyoming,
flagship of the Atlantic fleet, which
has arrived at the New York navy yard
from the southern drill grounds, told
of a thrilling adventure off the Virginia
capes when brawny blue jackets in a
heavy sea hurled a surgeon from a
small boat aboard the naval tug So
noma to attend one of the crew who
had gone insane.
The fleet was thousand miles at sea,
engaged in minor maneuvers when the
storm broke upon it, The wind came
in gales and the rain in torrents. The
Sonoma was following the line of war
vessels and was as close to the Utah as
the heavy seas would permit.
A man on board the SonOma who
had been seasick became insane sud"
denly and menaced the crew, and the
commander of the tug wirelessed the
Utah to send out a surgeon.
While the crew of the Utah stood Oh
the deck and cheered the boat was
lowered and tossed about on the
stormy waters. Brawny seamen bent
at the oars, and it was only the skill
of the man at the tiller and piece
of good luck that saved the craft from
being swamped.
AS the little boat neared the So
noma, it was seen that she could not
come alongside. To venture too close
would mean that the boat woull be
smashed to splinters against the side
of the tug. While men at the oars
struggled to keep the boat in a safe
position, six powerful bluejackets
seized the surgeon and hurled him
through the air to the deck of the tug,
a distance of about 10 feet.--New York
Herald.

the city, evidently, too, in a low quar-
ter, for from the windows of such
business rooms and shops as bore any
evidence of responsibility the lights
had been turned out and the doors
locked for the night. Only grue-
some green light was blazing in lit
tie drug store just opposite, while at
our left, as we turned the corner, a
tumble-down saloon sent out on the
night mingled sound of clicking bill
lard balls, discOrdant voices, the
harsher rasping of violin, together
with the sullen plunkings of banjo.
Il must leave you here for min
ute," said my friend, abruptly break
ing long silence, and loosening my
arm. 1.-The druggist over there is a
patron of our house, and L am re-
minded of little business l have with
him. He is about closing, too, and
I'll see him now, as / may not be
down this way again soon. No; you
wait here for me-right here" and
he playfully but firmly pushed me
back, ran across the street, and en-
tered the store. Through the open
door l saw him shake hands with
the man who stood behind the counter,
and stand talking in the same position
for some minutes-both still clasping
hands, as it seemed; but as l mechani-
cally bent with closer scrutiny, the
druggist seemed to be examining the
hand of Mr.. Clark and working at it,
as though picking at splinter In the
palm--I could not quite determine
what was being done, for glass show
case blurred an otherwise clear view
of the arms of both from the elbows
down. Then they came forward, Mr..
Clark arranging his cuffs, and the
druggist wrapping up some minute ar
ticle he took from an upper showcase,
and handing it to my friend, who
placed it In the pocket of his vest and
turned away. At this moment my at
tention was withdrawn by an extra
| tumult of jeers and harsh laughter in
| the saloon, from the door OF which,
| even as my friend turned from the
door opposite, a drunken woman

ten steps in our advance. Instructive
ly. we both sprang to her aid, and
bending over the senseless figure
peered curiously at the bruised and
bleeding features. My friend was
trembling with excitement. He

her feet. "Why don't you take hole
