 If Captain Stevens will take his seat, and let Us begin on the wed- Ning supper. perhaps you will not embarrass me with so many ques- tions. Sit down. Twining. I want you to relieve Adams before all the color has gone out of Mrs. Stew ems face"
 And Twining relieved young Adams, who was not, in the secret.
 Mister Adams, Captain and Mrs. Stevens desire your company for the balance of the supper" said Drake with a twinkle. Many meals had been eaten in that saloon. Drake had seen young MT. Adams eat a few. But he never saw him eat so little, or look about him so rudely as now. Jake seemed to be still little uncertain. Drake went off on deck, leaving the bridal pair to re- cover their balance.
 Jake Stevens had always been a good sailorman He stayed but

 Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who is q passenger. At Cape Town, Stevens is superseded as cap tain by Drake, whose lawyers have seen to the purchase of the Or ontes during its cruise. Stevens is reduced 10 the rank of chief mate.
 The Orontes is becaImed in the Straits off Java. The accident was due to Jake's carelessness, and now Jake comes to stand before his new captain and face the music" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 "Mr. Stevens,' Drake began, q don't want to dig up a lot of old troubles l think the quickest way is the best. l want to say first, to you and Mary, that I have held an inquiry into the stranding of the Orontes, and have found myself guilty"
 You've what?" gasped Jake. Mary pressed his arm warningly.
 Drake continued: T have decided that whatever ill has happened to the ship or her people, has Neen di- rectIy due to my pursuit of a fad. As l see 1t now, t meant only sport

Letter from Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton to Leslie Prescott,

Very few women understand this running amuck in foolishness that I have just mentioned to you, my dear daughter. Neither do they un- derStaud that such are the peculiar temperaments of men that after it ts all over, they can wash their minds clean and push their should CTS back into the yoke again for another long, hard pull.
 I wish Mrs. Prescott Sr. was not here in New York just at this time. ] am afraid John will grow more and more impatient with her, for as a nagger l think she holds the championship. She k one of those women who has never really known q great love. great sorrow, a great ambition, or great sacrifice She secms to have forgotten entire ly everything that happened 10 her married life except when she wants 10 hold her husband up as a shin ing example 10 her son.

briefly at the table after Drake left. His ship was in Sunda Straits, near her port. It was night. A ship masters place was on deck. Drake stood at the rail, smoking his con- fortable old pipe. The sing-song was progressing gloriously. Stevens and Mary came up slowly. In the dim panionway Jake tenderly wrapped a shawl around Mary's shoulders. She gazed up at him, 1 shyly. The sweet fragrance of her enveloped him. There was no req son for restraint. He gathered her to him, and crushed her hungrily in his arms.
 Drake moved a bit further for ward. For a moment the smoke puffed from his pipe jerkily. Some where in the darkness forward a sailor began to sing "Maimuna."
 Stevens came out of the com panionway, and placed Mary near Drake at the rail. She held his arm. Jake gently removed her hand.
 'I must look after my ship, lass" he said, and walked away aft. Drake chuckled. She turned quick ly. Then she. too, laughed, a sil- very, happy laugh.
 "A ship masters loss Is a pas- senger's gain, Mrs. Stevens" Drake eaid. drawing her nearer to him.
 You're not to call me that" she said.
 "Very well, Mary" Drake was still enjoying some tremendous piece of humor yet 10 be given out. He pressed her arm, and put his head down to her ear. He knew the new bridegroom would be looking: he could not resist placing one lit- tie tax upon lakes composure.
 T have a secret for you, Mary" he whispered. Don't jump like that! It looks guilty. I really ought to have told you both at the table; but you know I never do the ex- pected thing. I think a bride ought to have some secrets, don't you? Of course you do. Listen: I'm going to give you a little wedding present as soon as we get ashore. I shall | make over to you one-quarter share in the Orontes, and"
 Oh" gasped Mary. "Oh. Alden." She pulled his head down further, and kissed him on the lips, right in full view of puzzled and startled hubby.
 and" Drake laughed. - there will be a one-quarter share for It, tie Jake, and little Mary, and may be for little Alden"
 But Mary had left him. She cared 1 nothing for captain's orders, Cap tain Jake Stevens was overwhelmed by blushing moist-eyed bride who simply must blab out her secret though all the shipping in the Straits come crashing aboard.

 that Ut the end Of our labors tho room, except for the pictures and easy chairs might have belonged in any hospital
 Lillian, evidently realizing that three women working in one room would hinder each other instead Of helping, sat quietly in the corner while we hurried through our tasks. In her lap was the valiso belonging io the unconscious girl, and when we had finished our work, we drew up chairs near hers. our eyes also attracted by the bag to which tho . poor waif had clung so pititully. 1 T suppose that other key there belongs 10 the yalise."
 Katherine indicated the long rib bon which she had taken from the girls waist and from one end of which depended key smaller than the one that had failed to unlock tho padlocked chain I looked at 1t curlously, for 1t was bent and twist: cd almost broken in two.
 "I suppose it does" Lillian as- scented, But there's no use to try tt, even If felt at liberty 10 open the Nalise, but l don't just yet. Someone evidently has opened it, and In closing 1t again hurriedly, twisted the key and the lock out of shape. If we open it we shall have to force the lock-"
 "But,' said Katherine, asking the question which had been in my thoughts, why do you suppose the people who opened the bag didn't file the chain off. as we did, and take the bag away with them?"
 Were not sure that anybody save herself did open It." Lillian re- minded her. She might very well have twisted that chain on her own arm, also We can tell better when We open the bag"

 The word when" was on my lips, as I think it was on Rather ines, but We both know Lilian's dislike of questions, and We left it unutterod. But she rewarded our discretion with smile and the an swer VIC crayed.

 A light knock upon the door put . a period to Lillian's sentence. Kath- crime made a little moue as she rose.

-FABLEs ON HEALTH HEART ATTACKS

Sudden death from heart disease IS uncommon. This statement is made in the face of a popular con- ception that persons, suffering heart trouble, are likely to die at any moment.
 This conception has been built up because sudden death is so spec tacular that it makes good news, and newspapers play up the story"
 There are certain types of heart disease in which death may come very abruptly, but these form a very small group as compared with the total number of cardiac cripples.
 As rule heart patients, even when they do badly, carry their de- feet for many years, and in the end

Since l have studied Mrs. Pres. colt l have more sympathy for Johr than l ever had before. Leslie dear, l want to tell you that the constant nagging and suspicion and seltishness of his mother has made your husband very sensitive, and now when he has so much to worry him in his business you must re- member all this and cater to his idiOsynCrasieS.
 This doesn't sound like the mother-in-law of the jokesmiths, does 1t? I think that we, as a class, have been grossly maligned. There are good mothers-in-law and bad mothers-in-aw just as there are good and bad mothers. I am sure that John loves me better than he does his own mother, and think Mrs. Prescott knows this, for she acts exceedingly jealous of me.
 Now, dear girl, I am going 10 close this letter. I can only hope you will regain your health, for health will bring happiness in spite of great annoyance.
 Strange as it may seem, one helps in the retention of the other. One can not be entirely unhappy if one is feeling physically fiji, and paradoHicalIy happiness is the greatest medicine for a sick body in tho world.
 I have bado John eoodby. I am finishing this letter on shipboard. He is feeling very unhappy this morning, for his mother has tuet told him that she can not possibly get away from New York before Saturday and she has made it al- most a life and death affair that he shall wait and go with her 10 At lantic City.
 Goodby my child, I shall think ot you constantly for you and yours arc all that l have in this world 10 love.

Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, Lady Lindy and Mir. Tuncy sat out beneath the tree trunk home of Mir. Tuney and ate the cream puffs and ice cream cones Lady Lindy had wished for with her magic stick.
 And as they sat there, they could look out over beautiful lake. It really wasn't very large lake, but 1t was very, very lovely for it was just as smooth as a mirror and re- f1ected the trees and mountains and clouds so plainly.
 Isn't 1t charming?" Lady Lindy asked. Tt is almost smooth enough 10 walk on!"

 his back, for the surface of the water was just like rubber
 And when Mir. Tunoy bounced
 his bouncing made Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Lady Lindy bounce too, just like when one per. son bounces upon bed and bounces another one, It was lots of fun and i the Raggedys and Lady Lindy and MT. Tuney would have played all day spect if old Mrs. Grundy, the witch had not come along and spoiled it all.
 Mrs. Grundy could not see any pleasure in watching anyone else have fun. She never laughed her. self and she did not wish anyone else to laugh and enjoy themselves. And then, too, old Mrs. Grundv wanted to take Lady Lindy's magic wishing stick away from her, and by wishing to do that, you may know Mrs. Grundy was extremely mean and selfish. So she peeped out from behind MT. Tuney's tree trunk home and wiggled her magic charms.
 Now just watch me spoil their fun" she said to herself. And be- fore the Raggedys and Lady Lindy and MT. Tuney knew what had hap- pened, they sank right down in the water of the lovely lake and got sopping wet.
 "Ha, ha, ha" the old Witch rhuckled as she saw our friends spIashing about in the water. Now l spect you won't have any fun" And she ran for home as fast as she could caper, because she was afraid MT, Tuney would get his magic flute and play upon 1t and make her dance upon her head. can swim so we'll" Raggcdy Ann
 Tt was a good thing MT. Tuney said. For nice Lady Lindy would never have reached the shore"
 But MT. Tuncy said, Less go in my tree trunk home and I will build fire and We will soon he nice and dry"
 So that is what our friends did, and while they sat before the fire and dried their clothes. Lady Lindy wished for chocolate with whipped cream on top and lady fingers and other pretty kinds of cookies. And after all they had a great deal ot fun and old Mrs. Grundy the witch did not cause them the unhsppiness she thought she would.

1 the changes are very slow and i gradual.
 Painting spells are not always due to heart disease. There is a cardiac condition in which fainting is prominent symptom. But this condition Is rare.
 Headaches, nausea, dizziness, in- somnia, w"ariness and levers may possibly be caused from a weak heart, but the chances are that thes are caused from some other disability.
 About the only safe course for a person in doubt is to consult a repu- table physician. His tests can tell if there is something wrong with the heart, and he can advise what to do 10 remedy the situation, if there be a remedy.
