give in. And / NEVER will.
Leave me alone"
His voice ended in a shrek.
He CROPPED for the slice. His
hands clawed at it blindly for he
could see nothing in the gloom.
The long thick iron bar swung
towards him as he pulled at it. 1t
pushed against his shoulder and
he staggered backwards three
PAGES. STEADY on" he muttered.
He crouched and raised it, tremb-
ling all over. Then he CROPPED to
the fires. He opened the door and
thrust the wedge shaped point of
the slice at the base of the mound.
He ran it along the bars to the
very end. Then he drew himself
together. He must lift that
mound and break it in the middle,
in order to give air to the flames.
He jumped with a loud gasp and
landed, crosswise, face down
wards, on the slice, his two hands
clenching the slice against his hoI-
lowed stomach. He almost lost
consciousness. A terrific pain ran
from his stomach to his head
making all his body numb. But
his brain still thot of the fire and
the mound that must be broken.
1t was not broken. The slice had
not left the bars? 1t had merely
bent slightly downwards from the
middle to the end. under the i'm
pact of his body. His feet reach
ed for the deck. He stood erect.
He moved backwards two PAGES
slowly, crOuching low, all his sin
ews rigid, his eyeballs protruding.
THEN uttering savage yell, he
jumped again on the slice. He
landed once more upon it cross
wise, his two hands clenching
it against his followed stomach.
The slice rose bygthesheatR As'RIe
mound broke A huge red scar
The flames shot out.
With a roar they covered the
mound and whirled about the
door, licking the air and darting
out along the slice towards the
hanging body of the fireman.
He did not move. His body
hung Imply across the slice. His
toes tipped the deck. His eyes
were fixed His lips were white.
He was dead.

down the iron ladder into the
stokehold. The others marched
rapidly in front of him, their light
shod feet pattering, their covered
left hands rushing along the hot
rails with slipping sound. His
feet stumbled heavily down. His
hand trembled on the rail.
He was sick he should be in
bed. But he had been a fireman
for twelve years without missing
a watch. His pride said: "Die be-
fore your fires rather than let a
fellow worker shed his body's
sweat for you"
When he landed in the stoke
hold the hot fumes struck him in
the chest. He gasped, caught his
eyes with his fists and staggered.
His stomach muscles contracted.
They crowded around him in pity,
urging him to go back to his bunk.
He Strengthened himself fiercely
and thrust them away with a
swinging movement of his arms.
"I'd die sooner than that" he
growled.
HE marched to the fires. His
thin outward curving calves
were visible passing the bright
glow from the ashpits of the fur
naces. His tall slim body and his
bony head were hidden in the
gloom.
The retiring watch went up the
ladder to the deck. Their faces
were black. Their eyes were white.
Their sodden trousers chung to
their sweating thighs. They went
up the ladder groaning curses on
the sea, the fires, God, and the
rich men who make slaves toll in
the bowels of ships.
1t was very dark. Ashes and
coal dust fioated in a thick mass
thru the sluggish air. The cleo
trio lights glimmered like dim
candles. The bulky forms of the
boilers doomed in the darkness.
The engines thudded. A dull vol
canic murmur came from the hid
den fires.
He stripped before his fires and
put his sweat rag in his belt.
Then he seized the long swaying
rake to clean his low fire. He OPP
ened the furnace door. His body
flashed into the freight. He was
naked to the waist. The ribs rose
in ridges on his fieshless breast.
The skin lay taught along his pro-
truding jaws. His eye sockets
were black. His biceps were rug
ged knots interlaeed with sickly
blue veins.
He stopped forward and thrust
in the rake. A wave of heat
emerged, striking him in the face.
He reeled before it for a moment.
Then he made a great effort and
stood erect. A cold sweat poured
out all over his body. That terri
fed him. Had the others seen?
He looked cautiously. They were
working furiously. They had not
seen. Good.
He swore a blasphemous oath
and muttered to himself: "I'm
not going to give in" He hauled
out the red hot ashes and the jag
ged cakes of spent coal that chung
like glue to the fire bars. He fin
ished one side. He changed over
the live Goals from the other side.

DINOSAUR BONES
FOUND IN AFRICA

Word has just been received of the
discovery of the largest fossil dinosaur
bones on record by TN expedition I'M
der w. e. Cutler Of the British mu-
scum, which has for the past year
been working in the dinosaur beds in
Tanganyika, formerly German Eat
Africa. The prize find so far uncov-
cred is a shoulder blade six feet two
inches across. The dinosaur beds of
Tanganyika were discovered and part
ly worked by the Germans before the
war, and many interesting remains
have been found there. There is a
close resemblance between the dinosaur
fauna of Africa and that of western
North America, especially in the case
of the stegosaurs or armored dino
saurs. Even the newly discovered
giant has American kin, though this
particular dinosaur is represented In
American finds only by two limb
bones.

HEALTH VALUE OF
CANNED FOODS

MANY housekeepers have preju-
Av1 dice against canned foods of any
kind, largely on account of reports of
cases of poisoning from canned goods,
which have appeared in the newspa-
pers.
Canned foods are a comparative re-
cent development. Up to the time Of
Napoleon, the only ways the human
race had found to preserve food was
by drying and by picking. These two
methods in various forms had been
worked out by practically all races
Even primitive people had learned that
meat, fruits, and grains, if dried in the
sun, would keep indefinitely.
But there were many practical diff
culties using either of these methods
French revolution, France began or
ganizing great armies to protect her
territory. The problem of feeding
these armies was serious one. So
Napoleon's commissary general offered
a prize for the best method of pre-
serving food. A Frenchman, Nicholas
Appert, worked on this problem for
sixteen years, and in 1910 patented
a process for sealing food in cans.
But it was not until 1875 that Pas
teur proved putrefaction was due to
microscopic germ in the air, that
1t was killed by cooking, and that
meat, vegetables, fruits and other food,
once sterilized by heat, could be kept
indefinitely if sealed in alright cans.
The growth of the canning business
in the last fifty years has been phe-
nomenal. In 1923 over 3,000,O00,000
cans of food were put up in the Unit
ed States alone.
In the development of this business
many mistakes were made Time was
necessary to work out the best meth
DDS.
Today canned foods are among the
cfeanest, safest and most nutritious
foods that can be secured.
Spoiled cans are rare, and these
cans always can be detected by the
SWellSu DOE DuiSCu cHuS, Tic Du0 Ouoi
and the soft mushy appearance of the
contents.
ANY canned food which looks, smells
or tastes suspicious should be thrown
away. Il in doubt. boil the contents
of the can before using it. Even
botulism poisoning, the most danger
Gus poison found in canned foods, is
rendered harmless by boiling for twen-
ty minutes.
Canned foods have added enormous
ly to the worlds food supply. If Sc
lected and used with good judgment,
they are of great value In furnishing
an all-year-round supply of good food.
