I was relating my trouble, and he advised me to try Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, saying that be had obtained very beneficial results from its use in a similar case.

The dredge" lay in the middle of Heron harbor, right over Sculpm Rock, or at least what was left of it. Rufe was the, engineer on the Glencoe, and` was the only man who bunked aboard. That night he had taken supper ashore with his cou- sin, J erry Sprague, who had urged him to stay until morning. "Much obliged, Jerry," he said, but I must be getting aboard the dredge. I've got to have stearra up extra early to -morrow morning." it, was a rough trip out, and Rufe t felt relieved when he at last got aboard her. i Fifty feet to leeward another square-sterned craft, with a, two- story deck house, rose and fell on ! the seas. It was the drill boat, Valley Forge, all black except for her snow -blurred riding light. Her crew had gone to bed. Rufe made his punt fast, and hastened to get into his snug bunk in the fireroom. Before rriaxiy min- utes had passed, he had dropped into a sound sleep. Some time in the night he dream- ed he was in an earthquake on the ' coast of Peru. Pretty soon the quakings began to seem so real that Rufe awoke. The first thing he became aware of was a loud, continuous whistling-Whoo-oo-oo Bump! What was that ? The whole dredge shivered; every bone in Rufe's body felt the tremor. He started up, and now fully awake realized that the screeching whis- tle was close aboard. Rufe threw off his blankets and sprang from his bunk. Without waiting to strike a light, he pulled on his trousers. Bump! It took him a moment to find his shoes. Once again-bump-mp 1 Rufe was bending over. pulling on his second shoe, and the shock sent him sprawling. He could afford to spend no more time in dressing. Jumping up, he ran out, with his shoestrings banging loose. He did not have time even to put on his coat. The Glencoe had drifted up har. bor. and was bumping the Valley Forge. The Glencoe, held only by her bowlines, had swung round so that every sea sent her smashing into the Valley Forge. One thing puz- zled him, however not a, man was in sight on the drill boat. Where was her crew 1 Why had they not put out fenders to stop the boats from smashing each other to pieces '1 And why sva,e the whistle screeching so persistently? Anyway, some one ought to do something. Rufe watched his chance, and a second before the boats crashed together on a high sea, he leaped aboard the Valley Forge and darted into the boiler room. No one was there. From a hook in the ceiling not far above the wa- ter gauge swung it lighted lantern. On the dangling end of the whistle cord, which ran from the smoke- stack through overhead pulleys, was tied a brick. That explained the incessant screeehing; the brick Was holding the valve open. Bump! A slight motion along the left wall eaught Rufe's eye. , Between two uprights of studding were piled four or five hundred fire brick. Rufe noticed that the pile, which was several feet wide, and higher than his head no longer Stood pluriib; One or,stWo ,burnps More would send them tumbling. - Again the dredge erashed into the Valley Forge. The pile of bricks swayedforward, and at the same iMe ,eamething rolled on the floor at ita foot. , He glanced down, and a, sudden, paralyzing horror swept over him. Right under .the ..bricks. lay what oeked like two big candles, twenty-, our inches long, wrapped tin Oiled paper. link knew that they Were ticks Of dynamite. ' • If the bricks came down ori those, eticks., the impact would explode the dynamite with shattering fierce. Stored in the after held, only a few eet away, were twe tone of dyne, mite, and that would explodes too. The drill boat would be blewn to fra,gments, Rufe took two leaps across the room, as the dredge and the dril boat crashed together, the wall of bricks bowed toward him, He flung himself de.sperately forward, with aims outstretched, and jamming his whol hedye. hard against the tot- tering pile, crowded it back with his hands, his shoulders, and bs chest. The bricks resisted. He could hold theni where they were - for a, time; but he could not push thean back into place. The boat heaved. One of the deadly cyinders rolled against the engineer's foot. He looked down, and saw that there were three sticks now. He did not know what to do. If he took his hands from the wall for a single second the bricks might tumble. Would he have time to pick up the !sticks and 'get away safely? He decided that the- risk was too great. Where had that third stiek come from? He twisted his head round. Across the floor an open dynamite box lay on its side, and behind it was another box. It was customary to keep two or three oases of dyna- mite in the boiler room, so that the explosive might be warm enough to use .1 cold weather. Rufe saw what had happened. The upper box had been opened, and its cover laid loosely back upon it. Jarred forward by successive bumps, it had tipped off and spilled its contents. Even as Rufe looked, another stick rolled out. That made four of the deadly sticks rolling loose at his feet. Then came two crashes; the first was made by the Glencoe's bump- ing the drill boat, but the second was -caused by something else. Could the drill boat be pounding on the bottom 1 Impossible 1 Then he remembered her 'spuds." The spuds -two forty -foot sticks of hard pine, twelve inches square, with heavy iron caps on their ends -ran up and down through wells in the boat. When di -peeped on the bottom, like a pair of huge stilts, they held the boat immovable in one spot, no that the drills could work accurately. Evidently, ' at the close of the day's work, the spuds had been hoisted only a little way off the ledge; and now, itt the dead -low tide and the heavy sea, they were hitting with a terrific jar every time th.e boat dropped into the trough of the waves. 1 Rufe understood everything now. When the Glencoe had begun to hurl her lumbering tons against the Valley Forge only a few feet from the dynaanite stacked in the hold, the captain and his men had be- come panic-stricken. They had not seen Rufe return to tbe dredge, and thought that he was -safe ashore. So. after tying the brick to the whistle card to hold the valve open, in order to alarm the tug, they had abandoned the boat. The sticks of dynamite had no doubt got loose after the men -had gone. A cascade of spray sloshed against the hoase. The unlatched door slammed open, and a cold blast struelc Rule's 'neck. As he pitted his strength against the top- pling bricks all sorts of schemes for meeting the situation ran through his head; but he disaniesed them, one by one, as impossible. He could not dispose of the pile by throwing brick after bra* from the top, for he did not dare to take away his hands from their present poeition. The spuds were hammering hard- er, lifting, dropping. It must be the dead slack of the ebb. The shocks from the Glencoe came like the blows of a battering' ruin, Rufe's teeth ehattered. Dynamite was uncertain stuff. • It might stand no end of pounding; again, Any one of thoee bumps might be the last, The wall of bricks still pushed steadily against him. While he held it back in one place, it pressed forward en another. Ile could feel it surge against his chest, and force him back lithle by little. Eaeh shock from the Glencoe or the spade made a slight change in the position of every brick. The wall was. hard to -hold in plane, beeaese it was Made up of so many separate Rufe braced himself and stiffened his body,. but he realized that in Ispite of ham the pile mist, in the end tome down. The best he could hope to do .wotild be to delay its fall until help should ar- rive. Surely that bellowing whistle roust soon bring the D,amooles out!

His eyes fell again on the oiled -paper rolls en the floor. With his feet he tried to pusli them gently back out of the way; bub he could not do it. Out on the dredge he heard voices. NON he wished that he had Jet the bricks drop at first; then he would not have made others share his death. He tried to warn them: . "Keep, off 1 Keep off I" But he could not make them hear. His strength was almost gone. 'Ten seconds xfloee, perhaps not so many 1 He locked down again. For the moment the four sticks of dynamite lay close together in . an area small enough to be covered by his body. The next bum.p might disarrange them. In a flash Rule saw his chance.

Rufe held his breath. The showering bricks bruised ,and hurt him cruelly. Luckily they did not have far to fall, or they would ha,ve knocked him senseless. He lay there, half stunned and pinned down, but thankful that his body had kept them from exploding the dynamite. The Damocles towed the Glencoe away; and with the rising tide the spuds of the Valley -Forge soon stopped pounding on the ledge. Then the crew came back on board, and to their amazement found Rufe in the boiler room. He was too much exhausted at the time to make any explanation ; but they did not need any when they lifted hini from the wreckage and saw what lay under him. -Youth's panion. 4. People of Other Lands. What a strange and interesting thing nationality is! We see it per- son in the streets, and say -"That man is a Frenchman; I am sure of it; look at the way he gesticu- lates." As a;Frenchman is known by his gesticulations, and an Eng- lishman by his look of unconcern with everything that is going on around him, So in some way or an- other every nationality can be dis- cerned. Very few of us ever pause to think how a nation gets its char- acteristics. A, great deal depends upon the climate and geographical situation of tis country. The people of the sunny south are of necessity more light-hearted and pleasure loving than their serious brothers and sisters of the north. In South- ern Europe, for instance, men and women need not work hard in order to live ----the necessaries of life, bread, vegetables, fruit, are easy to procure, and as to education they don't 'bother their heads ,about it -that is to sa,y, the poorer class- es. In no 'country in the world are the people so earnest over their business tt,s in North America; this is because life is harder here, com- petition is great, the climate_ has great extremes, the '• Cities are thickly populated; all these things make life serious. One is ,apt to make fun of another, tot accuse it of being unaxtistie, having no sense of humor, being unpractical,,lazy, too ambitious, and so en, .bat this is really because she does oot under- stand the conditions of the other nation. Would you be ambitioes if everything you needed kr your daily life was found near tub hand and could be procured without ef- fort? On the other hand, it is im- possible to imagine intelligent eiti• tens of large ,oiges being tinpra,eti- cal. The war is showing what eanh nation has and what she leeks.
