"Bends?" queried "Pop" Stiefel scornfully. "Huh! 18 you fellers wasn't' in such a blame hurry to get out of sto cnock off woe the caissons ,so a 1 k you wouldn't be M danger of them." Though he was only fifty-five, every body knew old Stlefel, the foreman el the construction company, as "Pop."' It is not often that a German is found in charge of a gang; and when he is he Is apt to be a man of authority, But everybody revered' "Pop" Stiefel becausehe was known to be a man devoid of fear. "You see, boys," he would explain to the - newcomers, "them bends in caused this way. Under two, three, four pressures the blood gets full of air. Now you got to go back slow, or else when you get's back to ons pressure them air bubbles hasn't busted yet, and It's going to get fntq your, heart and kill you, maybe." Which was as nearly scientific as was necessary for their comprehension, "Dill's anxious to git back to meet that girl of his when. the Smith build, Ing turns out its people," said one of The men. Everybody. knew Bill's girl. Bill. :was the popular .sobriquet for Mr, William Allen, wbose unclewasJunior partner in the construction company, ;that was oinking its caissons deep into ;the edge of the East river, adjoining' the Smith building. Allen was quali, ifying for an engineer by learning the .practical.. details of the work. Miss Elizabeth Strickland was employed in the Smith building, a little three, story structure soon to be pulled down because of age and general decrepi- tude. It was rarely that the men go• ing.to.work did not see Miss Elizabeth seated at her desk beside a window on the top story, and looking out to wave her hand to 1310. "Pop" Stiefel, the sentimentalist, as most Teutons are, was Once Pound almost in tears, though he stoutly attributed his nom dition to the onion which his landlady had placed in his lunch basket that morning. "Say, you fellers—when I see a nice girl like Miss Strickland and a fine young feller like that feller Bill, it sort Annual December Sale of Ladies' and Children's Coats. Today we announce our.

"Pop" Stietel knew what that meant. The rotten foundations would simply be .swept away, The building, resting on nothing, would collapse as surely as a house of cards falls when the un- der cards are withdrawn.. The sweat poured down his face. He looked round him in agony.' Then he rushed back to the air look and entered the c the next chamber with a pressure of atmosphere. One man was waiting there, and he was Just about to pass back into the upper air. "Run!" shouted . Stlefel, plucking him by the sleeve. "Run like all you ll 'em the was worth, you. feller, and tell Smith building's going to fall!" The num caught the horrified look on the old German's face and turned' and obeyed. Then Stlefel turned back Into the lowest chamber again and evaded through eight inches of swampy sand. ; "'rive minutes!" he muttered, "Five sminutea and she falls. But we'll save Oxer!,. He knew that a slight obstruction often checks a vast momentum for a, short space of time. And he, with his ponderous body -what better purpose could he serve? So he sat down heav, ily in. the mud, which reached almost to his armpits. As he did so he be- canie conscious that the quivering mass was temporarily halted; like some wave meeting a breakwater. The rippling surface undulated away krom him; then slowly' it crept round and upward. But he had Bayed a min- lite. And a minute meant the margin between death and safety. ' He looked at his. watch. "Four 'minutes," he said. "Five. Good. Now let her come!" And the mass rose to his neck and gulped his watch and the hand that held it, and lapped at his chin' and nostrils. The old man headbreathe. "She tilted back his t o looked like Mina," he muttered, as though in extenuation of his sacrifice. 'And suddenly he saw Mina beside him, her arils outstretched, a look of in- effable love In her eyes. "Mina!" he mumbled thickly, "I'm coming, my dear!" And the lapping sands no lon- ger oppressed him, nor the mud waves that now surged over him. (G'epJ'rigbt. 1913, by W. Q. Chapman.).

The czarevitcla cannot look b ack up- ; .on the Joys of early life in the way ithat most children born to a throne ;are in a position to do. Nor will any tof his European colleagues envy the !crown prince of Russia. From the day of his birth the little prince was put under the care of a Cossack guard, who is herd answerable with his life for the safety of , his charge, The soldier never leaves the chilli; he sleeps in the anteroom or his bedchamber. The room Is locked, but a series of bells would at a touch communicate with the outside world. Two sentries parade in front of the bedroom door, and a few paces fur- ther on 9s another double guard.

His own Cos- sack guarded the imperial child of Jlussta, while a second Cossack guard simulated duty over the ether little mans. An Pnglisla tutor entered upon the' service of the ezareviteh when he was. seven years old, but all lessons are' done in the presence of the Cossack and of .a lady in 'waiting.

Under several pressures of atmo phere the men were pushing the grea shield forward, scooping out the sof cheese -like clay of the river bank and sending up the debris.

Par aP lirasing the Jingo cry, we have the land, we have the will and we have the osmate, What is needed is the means, and even more means, and slnaultaueously the ways of market- ing.

In helping the one the other is being aided.
