This they throw over- board and when Ned goes to replenish his supply for himself and guests he suspects Bess. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X.—(Cont'd.) "1 suppose you did it?" he de- manded. She nodded. "I did it—to save you --from yourself. Not to mention per - baps saving the ship as well." His lips drew up in scorn. Angry almost to the verge of childish tears; he could not at first trust himself to speak. "You've certainly taken things into your own hands," he told her bitterly. His wrath gathered, breaking from him at last in a flood. "You ill-bred prude, I wish I could never lay eyes ea you again!" it was by far the most bitter mo- ment in Bess' life. She bad done right, but her payment was a curse from the man she had hoped to serve. All her castles ]had fallen; her dreams had broken like the bubbles they were. This was the answer to the calling in her heart and the longing in her soul —the spoken wish that she might pass from his sight forever. But at his poet McNab had already forgotten the episode of the liquor easeS. Indeed, he had forgotten other matters of much greater moment. At pied by two stern realities—one of them being that the store- still raged in unabated fury, and the other that a drunken captain was driving his craft at a breakneck speed over prac tfcally uncharted waters. Once more McNab lifted his head through the hatch into the pilot house, and for long seconds he studied in- tently the flushed face over the wheel, "What now?" Knutson asked gruff - Come 1{f you cannot nurse hire titan Baigte.

"Are you captain of des boat?" Knutsen demanded angrily. "No, but—" •'Den get out of here. I know ex- actly what I'm doing. You're just as safe as—" But it came about that Captain Knutsen did not finish the sentence. MeNab was never to find out, from Knutsen's lips, just how safe he was. All at once he cried sharply in warn- ing. Before ever Knutsen heard that sharp cry he knew what lay ahead. Dulled though his vision was, slow the process of his brain, he saw that curious ridge or white foam in front —an inoffensive Iooking trail of white across their bows. At the same in- stant his keen ears caught a new sound, one that was only half-revealod in the roar and beat of the storm. There was not the pause of an in- stant before his great muscular arm made response. At the same instant Forest tried to apply the power of his engines in obedience to the sharp gong from above. And then both Knutsen and MoNab braced them- selves for the shock they 'knew would cone. The craft seemed to leap in the water, shuddered like a living thing, and -the ftvath of the searchlight de- scribed a long arc into the sleet and the store. It may have been that Knutsen shouted again—a meaning- less sound that was lost quickly in the wind but for seconds that seemed to drag into interminable centuries he sat absolutely without outward sign of motion. His great hands clutched his wheel, the muscles were set and bunched, but it was as if the pian had died and was frozen rigid in an in- stant of incredible tension. His face, utterly without expression, Forest crouched beside his engines. There was nothing that either of them could do. The waves and wind were a power no mean could stay. All their efforts were as useless as Knut- sen's shout; already the little ship was in the remorseless grasp of a great billow that was hurling her toward the ridge of white foam in front. For another instant she seemed to hang suspended, as if suddenly taken wing, and tbu there was a sheer drop, a sense of falling out of the world.

Of the three women, Bess alone moved fere ward, out of the shelter of the cabin,. to be of what aid elle could. Her drawl], white face was oddly childlike. in the lantern light. Mrs, Harden= Worth had been stricken and silenced by the nearing visage of death; Le- nere, almost; uinconscious with terror, made strangling, sobbing sounds that the wind carred away. And in this moment of infinite travail Ned Cornet felt his manhood stirring within trim. Ned came up, and Iinutsee's .cold gaze leaped over his face, "Help me here," he commanded. "MNab, you help Forest and Julius 'launch the larger boat." There was not much launching to do. Waves were already bursting over the deck. Knutsen turned once more. "We want four people in each boat," he directed sharply. "Cor"net, you and, l and Miss Har'd'gnwort•1i in this one. The other girl will have to get in here, too. The other boat's slightly larger -Mrs. Hardenworth, get in with Me- Neb, Forest, and Julius." "Put Mrs. arclenwerth in your boat, so she and Lenore can be to- gether," Bess 'told Captain Knutsen. "I'll get in the other." , The captain did not seem to hear. He continued to about his orders. In the work of lowering the lifeboat he had cause to lift his lantern high, and for a moment its yellow gleam was bright upon Bess' drawn, haggard • ,lust as ted` e9bblek We% .,_17,1P thread to make hes suis es holdaslong" as the shoe leather lasts, so Firestone saturates es with e liquid. rubber, every llbre of ever� sta�d that goes, into the lrey to rale the cords resist if g YxSi Meat, friction and strain as long as the tire lasts.

(To be continued:) The yellow bear was bright upon Bess' drawn, haggard face. face. Farther off it revealed Ned, white-faced but erect in the beat of the storm. In one instant's insight, a single glimpse betweenthe storm and the sea, he understood that she was tak- ing him at his word. "Get in with us," he said shortly. "Don't be silly—as I was." Then, lest she should mistake his sentiment: "Mrs. Hardenwolth is twice your weight, and tbis boat will be over- loaded as it is." The girl looked at him quietly, nod- ding her head, He helped her into the dory. Julius, who at the captain's orders had been rifling the cabins, threw blankets to her. Then tenderly lending her his strength, Ned helped Lenore over the wind-swept deck into the bow seat of the 'lifeboat, nearest to the seat he would take himself. "Buck up, my girl," he told her, a deep throbbing note in his voice. "P1llook after you." Already the deck was deserted. The dim light showed that the larger dory containing MaNab, Forest, Julius and rills Hardenworth, had already been launched. There was no sign of them now. The darkness and the storm had already dropped between,. They could not hear a shout of direc- tions between the three men, not a scream of fear from the terrified wo- man who was their charge.

According to a special "holiday bele ' letin" issued by the Canadian Social' Hygiene Council, itr co-operation with the Department of Public Health of Toronto, there are a number of "don'ts" and "do's which the holiday- ing city or town -dweller should observe if his eonstit;ition is to stand the strain of the summer rest -period. - Don't scratch mosquito bites, don't pick ppison ivy, watch your milk and Water supplies and get plenty of sun,' but -not too much at once, are some of the admonitions, • And here is : an emergency medical kit that everyone is advised to pack in the suit -ease: 3 orb bandages, 2 or 3 inches wide, %pound of sterilized ganse, ' 7 ounce of absorbent cotton, 1 or'2 ounces of tincture of iodine,. 1 small 'roil of adhesive ploster about 1 inch wide, 1 ounce of boraeie acid, 1 or 2 ounces of bicarbonate of soda, A hot water bottle, 2 o'ji.ces of aromatic Spirits of are- nionia, "The hist item is important in the event of a collapse," the bulletin ad- vises.

Either strong laundry soap, or fresh Blue -water is good substitute. Avoid being overly zealous in your efforts to get sunburned. Half an hour ,at a time is quite as long as anypart of the body, not accustomed to ex- posure, should be subjected toy the strong rays of the sun, for the first few days; then it will be quite• safe to increase the time to an hour, and after a fairly good coat el tan has been developed you are well protected against the dangers of sunburn. If you do not take 'these precautions your holiday may be spoiled—painfully. Furthermore, recent revelations as regards the therapeutic value of'tho chemical rays of the sun have been such as to niake•one feel that it would be difficult to over-estimate their im- portance. Therefore, we recommend for small cbildren the sun suits which can be obtained in any of our stores. These suits only protect the hips and upper part of the thighs and leave the. balance of the body exposed to the sun's rays. ; 1 It is well to bear in mind that in order to get the therapeutic benefits• it isnot absolutely necessary that you be exposed to the direct rays of the sun—there is the sky shine, or reflect- ed rays from the sky and clouds. On =a clear' day you may lie or sit on the shady side of the Nouse, with the blue: dome above you, and get from one- third to one-half of the benefit of the rays of the sun that you would get by, exposing yourself directly to then. For mosquitoes, three things should be remembered— netting, liquid am atonia,, and Coal oil.. p The netting shuts, them out, the liq- ' uid ammonia, applied properly to the bite, frequently neutralizes the poison and prevents subsequent itching, and, the coal oil, put in a very small quan- tities on top of water in rain -barrels, little ponds, etc., prevents the mosgvi- toes larvae from developing into mos- quitoes. Furthermore, certain aro- matic preparations such as spirits of camphor, menthol and oil of citronel- la, may be applied to exposed parts, of the body to keep these pests away. Insist that your food be protected from the filthy, . disease -spreading house -fly. And do not be on -tht go all the time during your holiday. Take some read- ing matter with you and spend part of the day particularly in the middle of the day, in the shade of the trees, in' your hammock, or in an easy chair, or lying on a rug on the ground. Do not dance every night during your holiday and expect to come home rested and. refreshed for the balance of the year.
