IL there are any rheumatic sufferers IN
town who nave not availed themselves OF

Rheumatism is dangerous disease, and

Spanish dollars increased to three
times the value of paper money. and
yet, for lack of an outlet, the products
of the island did not advance in price.
Nathaniel SiIsbee abandoned his
plan of keeping on to Calcutta. He
sold his Spanish dollars, loaded coffee
and spices, and started for home.
Proceeding no farther than the Cape
Of Good Hope, he scented another
chance to fatten his owners pocket
book.
"The Cape Of Good Hope was held
by the Dutch" he said In later years,
'and 1t so happened that j was the
only master of foreign vessel then
In port Of whom a bond had not been
required to proceed to French port.
Two other Salem ships we're In port
I put on board them such portion Of
my cargo as / knew would considera-
bly, more than pay the whole cost Of
my ship and cargo, sold the residue,
and invested the proceeds In full
cargo of wine and other articles which
knew to be In great demand in those
islands.v
Captain Silsbee sold his cargo for
three times its cost at the Isle OF
France, and again loaded for home.
Warned by Governor.
He was nearly ready to sail when he
got word that another embargo was
likely. Hastily putting to sea, he was
obliged to anchor next day at the Isle
Of Bourbon for provisions. A mysti-
flying experience that he met here he
related thus:
"Just as / was about stepping from
the wharf into my boat, the French
governor Of the island ordered me to
his presence. l obeyed with strong APP
prehensions that some restraint was
to be put upon me. On meeting the
governor, he asked me: How long do
you contemplate staying in Bourbon
My answer was, Not more than day
or two Cant you leave here to-
night2' he asked. I replied, If you
wish IT. Then he added, AS you had
the politeness to call ON me this morn
ing, and as should be sorry to see
you injured. hearken to my advice
and leave here tonight If possible
"He cautioned me to secrecy, and I
was on board as soon as possible after
leaving him.
There was a war-brig at anchor In
the harbor, a little to windward of
my own vessel; toward midnight had
the anchor hove up without noise, and
let the ship adrift without making any
sail until we had lost sight of the war
brig, when we made all sail directly
from the land.
"At daylight the war-brig was sent
in pursuit Of us, under a press of sail,
but fortunately could not overtake us.
and toward night gave up the chase"
The Benjamin arrived home after a
voyage of ten months. Nathaniel Sis
bee had earned for his employer, Eli
as Haskell Derby, net profit Of more
than 100 per cent on the cost of the
ship and cargo.
BY 1915 Nathaniel Silsbee had risen
to such prominence that he was named
by the United States government as
one of the commissioners to organize
the Boston branch of the Bank of the
United States"

When the French began TO take to
pieces the skeleton Of the gigantic Yep
peIin thar fell on the hills near the
banks Of the Buech they found 1t an
almost inextricable tangle of metal.
The way they went to work was most
ingenious.
At the suggestion Of NJ Dumanois,
a naval engineer, they cut the carcass
apart with oxy-acetylene torches; the
pieces of framework were carried by
men to nearby road. where a heavy
steam road roller was sent over them
to crush them fiat. Thus the bulk was
reduced by four-fifths, and the metal
most aluminum-was carted away
to the foundry.

Il know you're right, Ruth; II was
an awful thing to do. but as things
stood then, | had to do It. I could not
tell whether ] could be made nt or not,
and did not want the talk about IT,
until knew one thing or another. There
was only one reason, though, that made
me go away without saying anything to
YOU about it. and that was because I

nave learned one thing about women
through you. Ruth. and that is that a
man can never act vn wnat ne thinks
they want. he must decide for himself
one way or another"
Ruth slipped her hand into his in an
! enort TO seem happily interested. Why
| couldn't she feel different? Jack was
home, he had explained matters, every
| thing was as she had imagined all the
time he mad been away, and yet she was
| cold and unresponsive. She could not
| give him the credit that was due him
his possessiveness of her was more thar
she could bear. That companionship tha,
| she had hoped might develop between
| them seemed somehow very vague and
| indefinite and in the future. The most
! important thing that she could think
Of was the fact that Jacks physica
| presence as a lover and a husband was
! almost more than she could bear. Tho
| slight hope that she had entertained q
| few days back, when she had wondered
| if it would he possible to tell him the
| truth. seemed impossible to her now
| She simply could not strike him blow
| like that. Even If he had done what he
! had for her sake rather than for the
| good of the principle, the fact remained
/ that he had done it. and all the more
reason. If he had done il for her. thai
she prove worthy of it and help him
| to make good.
And everything will remain as it is
! and the wedding will take place in two
weeks?" Jackss voice was tense witt
eagerness. "lf you will forgive me ant
understand, dearest, it means every
! thing in the world to me-
"I hadn't thought of changing th'
date of the wedding" Ruth returned
! quickly. "Of course, everything stands
as it is
! "And YOU really love me-
Ruth swallowed quickly. "Of course
| Jack, you know | do" And then. as his
arms swept around her almost roughly.
she closed her eyes and tried to imagine
herself close against the heart of an.
other man. man who had loved her and
whom she had sent away
