CHAPTER I
The Fairy of Feurteventura

The Fairy of Feurteventura
The emperor transferred me to the
Panther, which was then assigned to
our West African station, the Cam
eroons. If my being aboard the
Panther inspired, in itself, vivid recol-
lections Of my past life, my service
as an officer of the ship presently
brought me to another and far more
delightful memory of my sailing-ship
days. This was an incident that not
merely returned to me in Imagination,
but one that brought to me that rarest
gift of fortune, dream come true.
The events that preceded the eli
max of which l speak were such as
to provide the ever-striking qualities
of contrast. The African jungle, the
pursuit of savage beasts, black war
riors, an extraordinary black king, fan
tastic war dances and all the unearth-
ly sights and sounds that are Africa,
and then
Having to take the Panther back
to Germany for overhauling, we
steamed north. Our first stop was to
be for provisions at Fuerteventura,
one of the islands of the Canaries, a

PLAN FOR WORLD
SCOUT JAMBOREE
1900 American Lads Will Go
to England.

New York.-Fifteen hundred Amer
lean boys will make pilgrimage to
England this summer to take part in
the greatest peace-time encampment
of boys that the world has ever known.
The group will be the official rep
resentatives of the Boy Scouts Of
America at the World Jamboree to be
held at Birkenhead, across the Mer-
sey river from Liverpool, England,
from July 81 to August 10 this year.
Fifty thousand Boy Scouts represent
ing AZ different nations will pitch their
tents and for two weeks will work and
play together. The World Jamboree
is being held to celebrate the twenty.
first birthday of the founding Of the
Boy Scout movement and also to pay
tribute to Sir Robert Baden-Powell,
chief scout of the world, who found
ed the movement. More than 400
acres of ground will be under canvas
when the World Jamboree opens on
July 81.
In patrol units of eight, under adult
leaders, the American Scouts will en-
bark from score of different sea-
ports and, landing at Liverpool, Har-
witch, Grlmsby, Hull, Goole and New
castle, will pilgrimage to the JAM
boree camp. Many Of the American
Scouts will embark on special trains
from the various English seaports and
be carried to Birkenhead and Upton.
From there they will be transported
by motor to Arrowe park, where the
world gathering Is to be held.
Reports from the international
Scout bureau, at London, England,
state that more than $4,000 Boy
Scouts are expected from countries
outside of the British empire. The
Dominion and colonial possessions of
Great Britain will send an additional
1000 scouts to the Jamboree and the
remainder of the group will be made
up of English Scouts.
Many notables from continental Eu-
rope will be present at the Jamboree.
In previous Jamborees held at four
year intervals, the kings of England
Sweden and Denmark have attended
This year, the prince of Wales will be
a guest at the Boy Scout encampment.
The actual dates of the Jamboree
are from July 81 to August IL, but
most of the Scouts from abroad will
spend additional time visiting with
Scouts of continental Europe and In
tours to places Of historic interest.

Dog Needs Balanced" Diet to Keep Healthy

Most dogs are just as dependent
upon simple, wholesome, nourishing
fare as people are. If they are fed a
lot of greasy stuff, or quantities of
candy, they will get sick. On the other
hand. practically every one will thrive
On plenty of lean meat, either raw or
slightly cooked; fresh fish. fair
amount of cereal. some thoroughly
boiled green vegetables. Supplement
this diet with a few pieces of crum-
bled stale white bread; and two or
three times week give the dog
good-slzed fresh beef bone from the
butcher. Never let him have poultry
bones. though, or any other kind that
breaks into sharp slivers.
And here is another point; mix the
different kinds Of food very thorough.

SAME PRESCRIPTION
He WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started TO practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for q
aaxaiiye were not as great as today.
PEOPLE lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
Of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. It has won the confidence of
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, fatulence, indi-
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your.
druggist, or write Syrup Pepsin,"

land appeared on the horizon, Fuer-

were bound.
1t was a green island. Presently,
through my glass, l could distinguish
waving palms and white houses, white
houses with green shutters and red
roofs. A vague feeling made my heart
jump.
"Luckner," thought, ut is the same
island, the island you saw when you
were cabin boy aboard the Niobe,

small, with gentle hills and an abun-
dance of vegetation. Flowers were
everywhere. 1t was truly an island of
flowers. l went on through perfumed
valleys and over breezy hills, lost In
reverie, lost In my former life. A
kind of hypnotism was upon me.

do not see the fairy princess. She is
hidden beyond the flowers there She
will stay hidden. Is she to come to
