"I was a bit sorry afterward that I'd smashed Dutch, for the man was a bit in liquor at the time, but the life we lead makes a man strike quick and' think afterward. If he doesn't he's likely to go where he rani think he - fore very long. "So I tried in different ways to make it up to Dutch, and when he came to me in Sydney while I was skipper of the four -master Penguin; and asked for a berth I shipped him as second mate, my officer of that rank having been locked up in jail! for stabbing a boarding house keeper whoobjected to the mate's somewhat warm attentions to his wife. "We ran out of Sydney that trip' with orders to go to Surabaya and; take on a consignment of coffee for Liverpool. "I was sitting one night on a coil of rope, smoking a pipe and watching the stars do queer danees the points of the spar as the ship rolls gently to the swell when Dutch Blauvelt, wh should have been turned in, came t me quietly and asked if I would ste for a minute, as he had some thing to tell me which he didn't wa the man at the wheel to hear. "To tell the truth, I thought h wanted to mention the little affair a Johore and tell me that he was sorr for what he had said after all I ha done for hint. I had seen the ma eyeing me of Iate, and whenever looked at him he dropped his eyes an grew a bit red, after the manner of man who feels embarrassed becaus of his thoughts, just as though he ha expressed them aloud. It was not until we were. well for ward of the house, where the helms man could not see us, that Blauvel turned and faced me and I emelle liquor on his breath. "The men had not been given grog for several days and I supposed h must have smuggled some on board and made up my mind to give him a few words of advice when the ex planations should be over, for I want ed to see the man en his feet. "'Well, Dutch, what is it?' I ask- ed, for he seemed to find it hard to begin. He laid both hands on my shoul- ders in friendly fashion, 'It's that little fracas at Johore,' he said, "His eyes did not meet mine and I did not quite like that, although I put it down as embarrassment at the time, Then I caught a glimpse of the whites of his eyes. They were red streaked and he moistened hie lips with a swol- len, thick tongue, I knew he had too much liquor in him, but still I thought he wanted to make amends and I tried to overlook the breach of discipline. "`Now, that's all right, Dutch,' I said. 'There's no hard feelings any more. A hard knock more or less needn't stand hrtweetr two sailormen. Forget it!" "Forget it ---hell:" said Dutch, and at last he faced me. I didn't like the gleam in his eyes, although his hands were still on my shoulders in friendly fashion. "We'll settle the score," t Ing. The paha In my shoulder was excruciating, but when 1 feinted for his stomach and etruek him full be- tween the eyes as he warded the mis- leading blow I forgot the pain. ".Blauvelt went down on the deck, but even as I sprang at him lie was on his feet again and at me, 1 remem- ber how he panted, and it gave tae pleasure to hear his breath come in short, loud sobs that I knew must hurt, and then I realized that my own breath was all but gone. The blows which struck me no longer hart. I was becoming dazed. Dutch stagger- ed, but I knew that I was doing the same and I rushed at him in a fit of fury to finish the thing. "I thought he had stumbled us I struck, but he gripped me around the body and slung one arm under my left leg just above the knee. I felt hint lift me from the deck and I struck blindly, savagely at his face. I felt the impact of my blows as I rained them time and again upon his face, but I could not get my feet under ins. I felt myself flying through the air. "Then came the shock of cold, sting- ing water. I tried to call out, but my mouth filled and I sank. When I came to the surface I shouted for help, but the lights of the Penguin twinkled fifty yards away and my weak voice would not carry that far. I suppose it was about three in the morning when I was thrown overboard. and the sun rose at four. The scene was beautiful beyond description, hut all its warm Ioveliness struck terror to my heart. Belgian Refugee Children Arriving at Ellis Island, N. Y. The most interesting travellers among the 965 who arrived on the liner New Amsterdam, a few days ago, were the Belgian children sent to the United States by Father John De Ville, They will make their homes with relatives or friends of their parents in Chicago and other cities. in the Middle west.

Thai suddenly a horrible thought seized me I —sharks might attack me. ' I wondered what fashion of finny creatures there were in the waters ;about me. I had even greater horro of some slimy, freakish reptile fish than of the sharks. I feared my mind was going, and I gripped myself, but ' the thought returned, and returned al- ways stronger. "Then I shrieked aloud in fear, for !as truly as the sun shines I felt some scaly creature brush against my side. A fever dream, perhaps it was ---but to me it was as real as the fingers on ' your hand. Wildly I struck out with farms and Legs and thrashed about to scare it, but although I could not see the thing it seemed as if a dozen mon- sters of the sea were brushing against my side. "Slimy creatures played in the waves about me. To some I tried to talk, but they only laughed and mock- ed me, and I raged against them and tried to strike them with my fists, but they parted in twain where I struck, and then the parts, swimming off, joined together again and mocked me. "There loomed in the distance a new monster. Black and high out of the water it was, with great white wings,' and it ploughed up foam before it, so fast did it forge ahead. It was dim in the distance, but I was eager to do battle with it and swam toward the thing. "Closer and closer it drew. I knew I must kill it, and swam slowly to pre- serve my strength.

It is then proposed to drain four sections of the Zuider Zee ;when thus closed—namely, the north- west, south-west, south-east, and north-east sections. r; An even more stupendous feat has lately been accomplished in Bombay, India, though there the measures were reversed. Three huge reservoirs ;have been constructed by the dam- , ming of the River Shirawata, and it is only because of the great war prob- lem now before us that this extraor- dinary piece of engineering skill has not been accorded its due meed of praise. The largest dam erected in correction with this work is over 8,000 feet long and 93 feet high, and contains more masonry than the fam- ous Assouttn dam on the Nile. The reservoirs, which will be used for working the native cotton -mills, will render Bombay a particularly clean city, as hitherto Indian coal was used to drive the mills, the burning of which caused huge palls of smoke to overhang the city. y s d h f "With that he gave me a mighty shove with his left, arm that sent nee staggering from him and at the same time struck out at my face with his right.

SHOCKS THAT CURT: SHOCK;. New Cures as Well as New Maladies Result From the War. The war has introduced new mala - 'lieu. But it has also introduced new cures.

Used by Alexander the Great More Than 30,0 Years Before Christ. According to researches which have been made by a French professor, it would appear that submarines have almost as hoary a past as aeroplanes, which, as is well known, involved ideas which are 'centuries old. It ap- pears that submarines were built as early as the beginning of the seven- teenth century. The origin of the in- ventionis older still, Aristotle tells how Alexander the Great made use of submarines during .the siege of Tyre, more than 300 years before Christ. A Dutchman named Cornelius Van Drebel astounded London in 1620 with a submarine that held twelve oarsmen and some passengers, among whom was King James L Previous to this, in 1534, a monk suggested the idea that a ship be constructed of metal, so as to be watertight and able to re- sist the pressure of water. A sub- marine was constructed according to the monk's idea, and was shown to be practicable to a certain degree. In 1537 a ship with twenty cannon, eighty sailors and many hags of money on board blew up and sank in the port of Dieppe. Three years later a Frenchman, Jean Barrie, called Pra- dine, built, according to the old monk's ideas, a submarine with which he pro- mised to rescue the bags of gold and silver from the wreck and possibly some pieces of artillery. The great Pascal, then a little boy, was an eye- witness to the experiments of Pra- dine, which were carried on till 1050 with ultimate success. IS TOMMY AFRAID ? Sense Strange Delusions of Soldiers Under Influence of I11 -Health. If you were asked the above ques- tion you would reply with an indign- ant "No!" and regard the questioner e as one who ought to be interned, a There are, however, certain things e of which Tommy is afraid. Not when t he is in health --while the deadly shells c are screaming around him he coolly a bete with his companion as to where they will fall --but under the influence a of shell -shock or trench fever, He is often haunted then by strange k hallucinations. He believes that the s trench has been lost and cannot be f got hack, or that he will fall asleep on v duty, or fail to carry out some import- lye ant instruction. Such ideas as these form his night -mates. His fear is rarely a bodily one. One of the strangest delusions is the el delusion of blindness. Men declare em they are totally blind, only to diseov- al 11 th THE INVASION OF PALESTINE BBRIT1SH-EGYPTIAN FORCES ARE NEAR TURKISH BORDER. Britain May Obtain Control of Ar- menia and Southern Part of Holy Land. The victory of the Anzac mounted troops and the Imperial Camel Corps at Rafe, within a few miles of the Palestine border, and only 35 miles from Beersheba, the Turkish rail- head, is important, not so much be- cause of the magnitude of the affair itself, but because of the conditions that make it possible. The blowing up of an important bridge on the Bag- dad railway, near Adana, a few weeks ago, prevents the Turks from sending heavy reinforcements to Constanti- nople, The speed of their evacuation of El Arish betrayed their surprise at the sudden offensive by the British Egyptian army, and it is likely that their Palestine army is unprepared to withstand a strong aggressive move- ment. If aid from Constantinople is long delayed through the interrup- tion to railway traffic, the British - Egyptian forces may gain possession of Beersheba, and then be able to work northward along the railway. The possession of the railway is a vital factor in the attempt, apparently projected, to capture Palestine. Preparation for Offensive. Only now is coming to light the magnificent preparations for the of- fonaive. The British have London and South-western railway engines haul- ing freight trains far out in the desert as quickly and' easily as in England. Motor roads have been built over the sand with a light stone; 30,000,000 sandbags were used for the Suez Canal trench defences, and the transportation facilities that made such preparation possible have been extended to connect with the roads the Turks built to haul artillery over for the attack on the canal. British ingenuity has introduced a new type of temporary road for infantry—five widths of heavy wire netting laid on the sand. The mounted corps has had to do most of the fighting, because in every case attack on Turkish columns has been a question of speed. Tho de- struction of the Turkish forces at Maghdabah, at Rafa, and, later, of a relief column several miles east of Rafa, indicates magnificent organiza- tion, military and engineering. If progress along the coast can he con- tinued, in conjunction with an ad- vance on the railway from Beer- sheba, the British forces will eventu- ally obtain control of Palestine sea- ports, bases from which provisioning can be conducted by the navy. The avoiding of the long desert haul would be a splendid gain. It would enable the employment of far bigger forces, and operations on a scale that might lead to an ultimate junction with the Russians near Erzingan. The possession of adequate sea bases, and use of the Palestine railway, which oins the Bagdad line near Adana, would be half the battle. British Outlook in Asia Minor. Whether or not the invasion of Palestine is vigorously prosecuted, the Turkish threat at Egypt is definitely tided. British troops will, in almost ny ciitumatances now, be found oc- upying the lower part of Palestine at he and of the war, With the Allies in ontrol of Armenia on the one side nd much of Palestine on the other the Bagdad route would be a vulner- hie "corridor," and its value for Ger- an purposes much depreciated. Tur- ey will, apparently, have the choice eon of either withdrawing divisions tom the Russian front or of losing aluable strategic territory in Asia er that, when the doctor raises their lids, they can see perfectly!

Some years ago the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, of Brockville, Ont., of- fered a series of prizes to residents of Ontario for the best letters des- cribing cures wrought by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Hundreds of letters were submitted in this competition, and yet there must have been thousands of other users of the pills who did not avail themselves of the oppor- tunity to win a prize. To all these another letter writing competition is offered. Thousands of cures through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have never been reported. These will furnish the material for the letter to be written in this contest. There is no demand upon the imagination; every letter must deal with facts and facts only, - THE PRIZES: The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., of Brockville, Ont., .will award a prize of $25.00 for the best letter received on or before the 17th day of Febru- ary, 1917, from residents of Ontario, on the subject, "Why I Recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." A prize of $10.00 will be awarded for the second best letter received; a prize of $5.00 for the third best letter, and ten prizes of $2.00 each for the next best ten letters. THE CONDITIONS: The euro or benefit from the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills described in the letter may be in the writer's own case, or one that has come un- der his or her personal observation. More than one cure may be de- scribetl in the letter, but every state- ment must be literally and absolutely true. The letter should be not longer than is necessary to relate the bene- fit obtained from the remedy id the case described. Every letter must be signed by the full name and correct address of the person sending it. If it describes the cure of some person other than the writer of the letter, it must also be signed by the person whose cure is described as a guarantee of the truth of the statement made.

Tommy's needs are taxing the civil- ian rather severely now in the matter of hoot -leather. How do the following figures sound for orders now before the British leather trade? 3,200,000 feet chrome sides for Reid -service boots, 7,000,000 feet for ankle-boots—both for our own Army; 18,000,000 of meniel, and 9,- 000,000 feet of upper -leather for our ally, Russia; 2,500,000 feet of russet kips for Italy; a shipment of 1,000 tons of sole -leather, and a further consignment of 40,000,000 feet of up- per -leather to Russia as soon as pos- sible. In the midst of all those alarming figures it is really a matter of won- derment that there is any leather go- ing around at all just now, for the British output is not nearly sufficient to cope with the demand, or even their own needs. But someone has, at least, conte to the rescue of the shoeless civilian, A Belgian bootmaker named Thill has in- vented a rubber sole for repairing boots. The sole is cemented on to the worn leather of all old'boot--wr, if necessary, the process can be carried out on new leather. The rubber ad- heres to the leather, and remain.; firm until the sole is completely worn away —•a rather slow process. The slew method is said to be quite satisfactory, and certainly it solves the leather tilt. ficutty to a very gretit extent.
