Sleep time is the time when
the reconstructive processes in
your body are buslest-turnng
food into blood, and nerve tissue,
and living cells.
That's the reason why lack OF
sleep makes you irritable, ineffi-
Gent and nervous; and why you
lack punch when you don't get
a proper amount of the right
kind of sleep.
1t has been the experience
of many that the cup Of tea or
coffee, taken at meal-tlme, robs
them of sleep.
In Gould and Pyie's Cycloe
pedia of Medicine and Surgery
you'll find that "caffein is a rap
idly acting stimulant to the brain
and spinal cord, quickens the
action of the heart, and raises
blood pressure.
This makes it a very good
medicine if prescribed by a doctor

which arrived here today from Cristo-

The Alliance arrived with 20 Ma

request Of Capt. James Stones, who
feared open mutiny among the crew,
which liz said had been disordarly a

Capt. Stone testified that the
trouble arose from feud between the

and disorders, for which he held liquor
largely responsible. The three men

Raided the Cupboard for Bite OF
Something to Eat.

to eat There was plenty Of bread,
and some cold fried ham, and cutting
q couple Of generous sandwiches, I
hiked out to make my breakfast in
the open.
The sandwiches disposed Of, began
to quarter the bench woodland back
and forth, searching for some indica-
tons of the railroad survey. In due
time found one of the location stakes,
and from it's facing and the markings
on it, got the direction Of the proposed
line and was able to trace it for some
distance along the bench. As Dad
dy had said, it ran within few hum
dred yards of the Cinnabar claim, and
a short sidetrack would make his sug-
gestion perfectly feasible; our ore
could be shot into the cars with but a
single handling.
From tracing the railroad survey, l
edged around to take another look at

shipshape again. With steam up, we
turned the machinery over a few
times, just to see that everything was
In working order again, and threw In
the clutch of the centrifugals, merely
for the satisfaction Of hearing the
flood rushing through the outlet. When
the pumps were going at full speed
went to look down the shaft. AS be-
fore, when we had run the pumps for
q week on end, there was slight dis
turbance Of the water, but nothing
more. My makeshift float-and-pulley
gauge showed no change in the level.
Suddenly freak notion seized me
that I'd like to know just what was
going on down in those black depths
into which the suction pipes of the
big pumps led.
Daddy, I'm going to try to find out
something" I declared and forthwith
began to strip my clothes off. "We've
seen the water coming out at the 9TH
er end Of things, and now, by George,
I mean to make sure that It's going in
at this end"
He didn't try very hard to dissuade
me, and minute or so later l was
crawling down the shaft ladder in the
habiliments that old Mother Nature
gave me. 1t was my first explorations
of the shaft, and I was surprised to
find 1t so we'll and tightly timbered;
"boxed' is the better word, since the
timbering was really a substantial
wooden box built within the square
outlinings of the pit. Common sense
told me that this must have been done
to prevent the caving in of the sides;
and afterward l remembered wonder
Ing, at the time, that the shaft should
have been sunk in caving material
when the remainder OF the bench upon
which the buildings stood appeared to
be little else than solid rock.
BY feeling with free foot could
determine that the pump suction pipes
went on still farther, and then the
real adventure began. The ladder
suddenly gave out, quit, ended. There
were no more rounds below the one
upon which I was standing. That be-
ing the case, there was nothing for 1t
but to dive, feet foremost, and taking
deep breath, let go Of the ladder
and began to swim downward. Almost
before realized it was fighting des-
perately for dear life. One of the big
suction pipes had taken hold of foot
and leg, like a tentacle of an enor-
nous octopus, and was unable to get
loose.
After all, 1t was Daddy Hiram who
saved my life. Suddenly the thunder
of the pumps, magnitied thousand
fold for me in that icy pit of death,
stopped short and the mechanical
squid let go of my leg. With lungs
bursting I shot to the surface and
weakly clutched the ladder. Framed

CHAPTER XII.
An Arctic Bath.

It's an old saying that coming events
have a knack of foreshadOwing them
selves. While I was struggling into
my clothes and reviving that over
night determination to have it out with
Fullerton the minute / should lay eyes
upon him, it struck me all at once that
the house was curiously quiet. To be
sure, somebody was stirring and the
breakfast was cooking, but the pre-
monition that something had happened
was strong upon me when descended
the ladder.
In the living room I found mighty
sober-faced old Daddy putting break
fast on the table.
Its just you and me for 1t, this
mornin', Stannie," he muttered, laying
plates for two; and his mild old eyes
looked as If they were about to take
q bath.
ssWhat!" l exclaimed. 'Has Butler
ton gomez"
.'Uh-huh; bright and early-'fore
day, reckon; leastwise, didn't hear
him when he went"
but where's Jeanne? She isn't sick,
Is she?"
He shook his head dolefully.

DUCKS MARKED BY OFFICIALS
ARE FOUND.

Dubuque, Iowa, Dec. 12.-Several
ducks, found to have thin metal
bands around their legs, have been
shot by local sportsmen during the
present season. These tags were
markers placed on the birds by game
wardens in the North.
Several months ago federal game
wardens at Fort Williams, Canada,
placed tags Oh about 500 wild ducks,
while several other Canadian and
United States stations tagged several
thousand others. The sportsmen Of
this country have been urged to look
over their birds for these tags.
When bird bearing one of these
thin metallic bands about its leg,
the tag should be removed and for

CHAPTER X.
The Deep-WeIls.

The next morning I turned out at
break of day, before anybody else was
up, slipped into my clothes, straight
ened up my bunk, and dropped through
the ladder hatchway to the main-deck.
/ had told myself that the reason
for the daybreak turnout was desire
to see If the railroad people really had
been sufficiently in earnest about the
proposed copper mine branch to make
a survey for it; but the true underly-
ing push was a biting reluctance to
have anything more to do with Butler
ton, or even to sit at table with him.
Tiptoeing through the common room,
50 as not to wake Daddy Hiram, I
broke into Jeanie's kitchen and raided

him to look over the machinery, and he
does so, glad of an excuse to be near

Billy Sunday VS.. Henry Ford

That Il bad road could be used as
means of making people better is
open to serious doubt. if not flat de-
NAL And yet despite its influence
as a producer of sulphuric language,
the suggestion has been made that a
rough road has certain chriStianzing
qualities, as will be learned from the
following incident.
Last January the Virginia Good
Roads Association held its annual
meeting at Roanoke. a visitor from
Ohio. on being introduced to Il Viz
gilman, casually remarked in this
wise:
Il hear you Virginians have had
Billy Sunday down here"
Yes, we have" replied the Vir-
gilman.
What did you do that for? Was it
necesary?"
Yes, l think so. You see Mr..
Sunday is a great evangelist and we
felt that our people would be bene-
fitted by a religious revival, SO we
had him come down"
Well" replied the Ohioan, with
an air of dismising the subject Il
certainly thought with the kind OF
roads you have down here, that
