THE DEEP SEA PERIL, |
By VICTOR ROUSSEAU
i abywG Chapman

(Copyright by w. G. Chapman,

the physical torment; perhaps some
inkling Of higher law did reach his
mind before the end.
But If 1t did, it was only a momen-
tary flash of insight.
He felt the cold embrace of the leath-
cry bodies. He heard the swapping
jaws. He was torn from his hold,
shrieking, and tossed into the air, from
beast to beast. His cries were so fren-
zied that they even reached the ears
OF those who watched on the shore.
He shrieked and fought, but he had
as much chance for life as primitive
man caught by a herd of dinosaurs.
For few moments his bobbing body
was visible, grotesquely sprawled upon
the reddening waves. Then it was rent
limb from limb.
1t disappeared, and, fighting over
their prey, the sea devils played the
last act of their own drama. They fell
upon each other. It was the tragedy
of the hive-the annual massacre of
the drones; only they were all drones.
Nature had no more use for them, now
that their queen was gone.
Never had such a spectacle been
seen by man before. The entire face
of the inland sea was a tumult of
fighting monsters. The dead grew into
visibility as they became thicker. The
floating patches of white almost OBJ
scured the waves. And still the fight
became more frenzied.
They tore each other and them
selves, they dashed the waves into
foam; animal debris fioated from end
to end of the ford. AS the dead drift
ed toward the shore the struggle be-
came more furious in the heart of the
sea.
Gradually 1t subsidized. The last of
the herd was gone. The battle that
was to decide the fate of the world
had been civil one, and fought out
without mans agency.
The lash of the waves drove the
light motorboat toward the cliffs. 1t
stranded not five hundred feet from
| where Donald and his friends, awe
struck, had watched the progress Of
the titanic conflict. They ran toward
it and pulled Ida from the thwarts. 1t
had seemed incredible that she could
have survived.
For long time she lay mOtionless.
Drenched with the brackish water, her

TO BE ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men of Affairs Ar
range Their Business on Punctu-
aIity as Safe Guide.

A young Kentuckian lost big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing business engagement. according
to the Christian Herald.
The cherries old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that Is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fitch it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, is your
own affair. But it also Is the affair CT
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time Is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. Bit one never knows until at
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that It does not mat
ter even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but 1t
can be done, and it is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.
Men of great affairs, whose time Is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance OF
saving it by being prompt.

Optimism leads to power.

Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against common enemy
Is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
arc bred In the intestines. When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, 1t Is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery of ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that Of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has a dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half a century.
They are made of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, made into tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand
ard and efficacious. You can obtain
them at any drug store in Walls for
twenty-five cents. Ask for DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets-and get no otherl

hair unbound, she seemed to sleep IN
Donald's arms. while he and DavieJ
worked frantically to revive her.
Davies raised his head at last and
looked at Donald fixedly. Donald re-
fused to meet his gaze.
They set to work again. For two
hours longer they went through the
movements Of the resuscitation of the
drowned. They stopped at last, ex-
hausted. Davies laid his hand on Don
AIDS shoulder; this time IT was ne
who could not meet his friends look.
Suddenly they heard Clouts shout
ing, mad with JOY.
'Look, sir! Mr.. Davies, look" he
screamed.
They swung around. The girls eyes
had opened, and there was recognition
In them.
She drew the first faint breath; her
weak arms stole round Donald's neck.
And in the universal joy nobody
minded Clouts' mouth organ, as ne
blew ''Home, Sweet Home"
"Hooray!" he yelled, tossing up his
can at the Qndio. MI. OdficS, oAA' 49,

brought her back to life, and now we're
going to wake up ourselves"
"What do you mean, Clouts% asked
Davies.
"Why, sir. don't you see? We've
lust been picked up and landed from
the Beotia. And we've been dreaming
all sorts of deliriums about sea mon
sters, and suchlike. If l might be al
lowed, sir, I'll put 1t to Captain Paget.

right. But it's a happy one."
Davies looked at him In dismay.
"Do you really mean that, Donaidf
he asked. "Do you honestly think that
we have dreamed all this?

PLANTATION" Donald replied. ST can't
see why we shouldn't have. It's too
preposterous-all that about the sea
devils and that harmless crank Mac
Beard, who used to have newspaper
rows with poor old Masterman. AS
likely as not We'll see him haunting
the Inventors club when we get back,
quite ignorant of the part he has
played in our lives. You know dreams
do do that-they put inconsequential
people into absurdly important posi-
tions."
"But-hang 1t, Donald, how does
Miss Kennedy happen to be here?"
why, wasn't she on board the Be
otia?" Donald replied. "At any rate,
If it's all true, what have we got to
show for it?'
He had placed his arm across his
breast, and at that moment he felt the
crinkle of dampened paper in his inner
pocket. He pulled out-the two pages
Of Masterman's letter.
Donald unfolded 1t. 1t was quite
legible, in spite of the stains of sea
water; but now for the first time he
realized that he held not one page, but
two. They had become stuck together
in some manner, and Donald had not
perused the second page.
1t was IN the form of a postscript,
and was the last sheet of the original
manuscript, which Masterman, in his
characteristic way, had inserted after
the first. He had written:
But thank God, Donald, my boy, man
will triumph after all. thought the mon
could oppose them. But the Lord knew
what he was doing when he made them.
There will be only three weeks of suf-
fering. for man. Donald-three weeks.
For the creatures live for their queen;
they can hardly be said to have indepen-
dent life. They are sterile, like the bees,
weeks alone. When she dies the old
swarm destroys itself If the queen can
be captured, all will be we'll The queen
has three weeks in which to grow to ma
turity, fulfil the purpose of her existence,
and die.

seem longer to her, but we deem our sew
enty years all too short We are saved.

The letter rambled on, but Donald,
without finishing it, handed it to Da-
vies, who read it and gave it back.

began.

which he foundered," answered DON
aid. "He worked out everything
mathematically, but he ignored the
larger purpose of the Creator"
"Aye, aye, STRIP interpolated sam
Clouts, feeling in his pocket. ''If you'll
excuse ME, sir, that motorboat seems
wreck-proof, and I'd like to see wheth-
err it's still in good enough order to
take us home"
Which proved to be the case.

Says Colds Kidney pills,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs. Della Olson, of New London, Wis.,,
like many Others, knows after experience
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are unexcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote us:
81 suffered with rheumatism for years.
There was gravel deposit In the urine
dark circles around my eyes and was al
ways tired. / bought q box of your Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am glad did, for I Sc
cured quick relief and think they are o
wonderful remedy"
Mighty few people realize in time that
kidney trouble is making it's advances up
on their health. They put off treatment
they say. "Oh. I'll be all right In day or
two" And the malady tightens its grip.
Result: Bright's Disease, hospital treat
ment doctors bills-often death.

Photograph Frames.

For framing a single photograph for
the wall, novel idea is to place it In
the upper part of moderately large
mat. When the picture is in sepia, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the
frame brown or gold. When the photo
graph is gray the mat should be also,
with a gray or gold frame. A wide
gray frame sometimes takes the place
of a mat.
The back board may be covered with
a harmonious plain mo-eriaI; wire
easel may be bought for a triffe and at

Senator Ashurst of Arizona says
that his state is lacking snow and that
not enough moisture has fallen to in
sure a sufficient water supply. This
sounded strange in view of the fact
that the whole eastern part Of the
United States was pretty much buried
under snow at that time. Senator
Ashurst says that they have kept the
records in Arizona for long time and
for the first time in 200 years there
was no snow at Christmas time on the
San Francisco peaks. These mountains
are in Arizona about 400 miles from
Santa Fe and are $4,000 feet high, and
their usually snow-capped peaks are
visible for many miles in every direc.
ton.

When the provision for the weather
bureau was reached during the consid-
Grafton of the agricultural bill, Con-
gresham Madden of Illinois started
the usual funny discussion about the
weather bureau, making this inquiry:
"Is this the bureau the chief OF
which publishes statement every az
ternoon or evening or morning, as the
case may be, in which he sets forth
that the wind may be In the north,
yeer to the south, and turn to the
west. and that 1t will be cloudy, and
that the sun will shine a few minutes
later, and that it may possibly rain OF
it may possibly be dry?"
Madden became serious later and
thought that for 100000 the weather
forecasts ought to be more accurate.
Chairman Lever of the agricultural
committee said that so per cent of the
forecasts were correct. After still
further discussion Madden went to
say:
..In reading these reports | have
found myself wondering who the
necromancer was who found the words
that were put into the prediction. be
cause they turn double somersaults
and loop the loop five or six times, and
then come back and make straight
forward movement, and then put on
fhe reverse lever and move backward
and then veer to the northeast, and
sometimes back to the southwest, and
.finally reach a conclusion that is very
-.iuch in doubt
WELL" replied Chairman Lever
-sthey are dealing with the wind"

Senator Borah of Idaho caused some
CONSERVATION in his party when he
took a position antagOnistic to the
majority of the Republicans regarding
the conduct of the war so far as Secre-
tary Baker was concerned. Borah was
also one of the Republicans who did
not vote to condemn the fuel order of
Doctor Garfield. He explains his po-
sition by saying that the management
of the war is with the national admin
istration and not with the congress.
Furthermore congress, having passed
laws giving the president and those
to whom he might delegate 1t all the
power that he is now exercising, has
no reason to complain when that pow
er is used. No matter how drastic it
may be, congress has forfeited Its
right to make complaint.
Borah also says that congress in its
last session recognized that the presi-
dent was solely vested with the re-
sponsibility of conducting the war and
that, having voted him all authority
he wanted for war purposes, it is idle
to attempt to curb the administration
by trying to legislate authority away
from those whom the president has Sc
Iected to carry on the war. The Idaho
senator takes the position that con-
gress must stand by what it has done,
which means standing by the admins
tration In what 1t is doing.
