SATTERTIDLD r BEGIN HERE TODAY. Ned Cornet and his fiancee, Lenore, are survivors of a shipwreck. With Bess, a seamstress, they land on an Island inhabited by Doomsdorf and his Indian wife. Captain Knutzen, an- other survivor, is shot and killed by Doomsdorf. Ned tries to fight the master of the island but is no match for the big man and is badly beaten, Doomsdorf lec- tures h:s risoners and warns them that et was once imprisoned in Russia and that now he means to use his ;slaves as he himself was once treated. Bess defies the brutal. but Lenore 8aa»ut i:nahlo u dope with the sit oinge- ness of her position. Bess resolves to be prepared in case opportunity of escape is afforded them. The squaw is always watchful. Escape seems hope- less. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVI.—(Cont'd.) • Ned, deeply appalled and unspeak- ably revolted, looked to Lenore for directions. Her glorious head was on Ler arms, and she shook it in utter misery. "I can't go out there now," she said., "I'll just die if I do—I'n so cold still, so weakened. I wish I had died out there in the storm." Ned turned once more to Dooms- dorf. "She's telling the truth—I think she simply can't stand to go," he urged gravely. "But thongh she's absolutely in your power, them are .some things even a beast can't do. You just the same as gave me sour ;word—" "There are things a beast can't do, but I'm not a beast. There's nothing I can't do that I want to do. I make no promises—just the same, for this elms, I don't think you need be afraid, I don't take everything that comes %long in the way of a woman. I want a woman of thews!" CHAPTER XVII. There were a number of axes in the little workroom that comprised one end of the long cabin, and Doomsdorf Sung three of them over his shoulder. "Right up through here," he urged, pointing to the little hilside behind the cabin. Doomsdorf halted them be- fore one of the half-grown spruce. "Here's a good one," he commented, "Just beyond is another. You can each take one—cut them down with your axes and then hack them into two -foot lengths for the stove, Better split each length into three pieees— the larger ones, anyway. If you have time, you can carry it down to the cabin." He took the handle of the largest axe in his right hand; with his left he extended the other two implements, 'blades up, to Ned and Bess. "I sup- pose you know wove bad no experi- ence—" Ned began. "It doesn't matter. Just be careful the trees don't fall on you. They sometimes do, you know, on amateur woodsmen. The rest is plain brute strength and awkwardness. He banded them each, from his pocket, a piece of dried substance that looked like bark. "Here's a piece of jerked earibou each—it ought to keep life in your bodies, And the sooner you get gour wood cut and split, the sooner you see any more." Then he turned and left then to ?their toil. nosecarvetgaslailenatten razz BABY 8041KES lEs 91,140 The Street W ,,Montreal, for ttvo Baby Welfare. Beck,. Thus began a bitter hour for Ned. He found the mere work of biting through the thick trunk with his axe cost him breath and strained his pa- tience to the limit, It wasn't as easy, as it looked. He did not strike true; the blade made irregular white gashes in the bark his blows seemed to lack power. The great, sagged wound deepened slowly. Finally it was half through the trunk, and yet the tree stood seeming- ly as sturdy as ever. Reckless from fatigue, he chopped on more fiercely than ever, And suddenly, with the grinding noise oz breaking wood, the tree started to fall. And .,t that instant Ned was face to face with the exigency d jeaping for his life. The tree did not fall in the direction planned. An instant be- fore, weary and aching and out of breath, Ned would have believed him- self incapable of swift and powerful motion. As that young spruce shat- tered clown toward him, like the club of a giant aimed to strikeout his life, a supernatural power seemed to snatch hint to one side. Without realization of the effort, the needed muscles con- tracted -with startling force, and he sprang like a distance umper to safety. But he didn't jump too soon or too far. The branebes of the tree lashed at him. as it descended, hurling hint headlong in the snow. And thereafter there were three things to cause him thought. One of then( was the attitude of Bess—the girl to whom, in weeks past, ISSUE No, 32--'29 He half carried, half dragged them into the cabin. There Was nothing to do but ""Id » into the .adjoining tree with hia axe And laboriously Met the ledged tree away, In the meantime Bess went to work on the first tree felled, trimming it of its limbs so to ettt it into lengths.. 'Ned joined her at the work, bet long before the .first tree was out into fuel both were at the edge of utter exhaustion. Doomsdorf had seemed almost in- credible to Neel at first. It was as if he couldn't possibly be true; a figment of nightmare that would vanish as soon as he awakened. But he was real enough now. N'othine was left to him but the knowledge how real ho was.. He must not rest, he intuit not pause till the work was done. The fact that Bess had fallen, fainting, in the snow, did not affect him; he must swing hie axe and hew the wood. Day wee dy- ing Grayness was creeping in front' the sea. It was like the essence of the. sea itself, all gray, gray like hie dreams, 'gray like the ashes of his hopes, lie must finish the two trees before the darkness came down and kept hien from seeing where to sink the blade, The axe swung automatically in his arms; even sense el effort was gene from him, The only reality that lived in hint now, ib that misty twilight, was the knowledge that he must ,get through. It was too dark to see, now, how much of the work remained. The night was cheating him, after all. He struck once more at the tough length, that lac at his feet—a piece at which', he had already struck • uncounted blows. He gave all ,,is waning strength to the effort.. The length split open but the axe slipped out of his bleeding hands, falling somewhere in the shadows be- yond. He must crawl after it; he didn't know how many more lengths there were to split. It was strange that he couldn't keep his feet. And how deep and still was .he night that dropped over him! How long he groped for the axe handle in the snow he never knew. But he lay still at last. Twilight deepened about hint and the wind wept lire a ghost risen fre'nt the sea. The very flame of his life was burn- ing down to embers. Thus it game about that Doomsdorf missed the sound of his axe against' the wood. Swinging a lantern, a ti- tanic figure among the snow -laden trees, he tramped down to investigate. Bess, semi-conscious again, wakened when the lantern light danced in her eyes. But it took him some little time t osee ed's dark form in the snow. The reason was, it was lying be- hind a mighty pile of split fuel. The light showed thtt only gree., branches, too small to be of value, remained of the two spruce, And Doomsdorf grunt- ed, a wonclering oath, deep in his throat. They had been faithful slaves. Put- ting his mighty arm around them, each in turn, he half carried, half dragged them into the warmth of the cabin. CHAPTER XVIII. Ned was spared the misery and de- spair that overswept Doomsdorf's', cabin the first night of his imprison- ment. His master dropped him on the floor by the stove, and there he lay, seemingly without life, the whole night through. Yet he was not always deeply in- sensible. Sometimes he would waken with a knowledgeof wracking pain in his muscles, and sometimes cold would creep over him. Once he came to him- self with the realization that some one was administering to him. Soft, gentle hands were removing his wet, outer garments, rolling him gently over in order to get at them, slipping off his wet shoes and stockings. A great tenderness swept over him, and he smiled wanly in the lantern light. "Lenore " the man whispered feebly. But there was no spoken answer out of the shadow at the edge of the lan- tern light. Perhaps there was the faint sound, like a gasp, almost as if a terrible truth that was for an instant forgotten had been recalled. (To be continued.) he had shown hardly decent courtesy: the same girl whom in childish fury he had cursed the bitter, eventful night just gone. Above the roar of the falling tree he heard her quick, half -strangled gasp of horror. The sound seemed to have the quali- ties that made toward a perfect after- image; because in the silence that fol- lowed, as he lay in the soft snow, and the crash of the fallen tree echoed into nothingness, it still lingered, every tone perfect and okra, in his mind's ear, There Was no denying its tone of ineffable dismay. Evidently Bess was of a forgiving disposition; in spite of his offense of the past night she had evidently no desire to see him crushed into jelly under that giant's blow. Bess was staring wideeyed into his face; and he smiled quietly in reassur- ance. "Not hurt at all," he told her. Quickly he climbed to his feet. "See that you don't do the same thing that I did,' He walked with her to her fallen axe, then inspected the deep cut sho had already made in her tree. "You're doing the same thing I did sur enough," he observed. "The tree will fall your way and crush you. Let me think." A moment later he took his axe and put in a few more strokes in the same place. It was the danger point, he thought: a deeper cut might dell the tree prematurely. Presently he cross ed to the opposite side, signaled Bess out of danger, and began to hack the tree again, malting a cut somewhat Awe that started on the other side of the trunk. He chopped sturdily, and in a moment the tree started to da11, safely and in an opposite direc- tion, Ile uttered some small sound of triumph; but it was a real tragedy to have the tree fall against a nearby tree and lodge. Again he had failed e foresight. fo to exerciseto r g p P The Happier Thing For eight hot hours I face a grimy wall And type "Dear Sirs, We cannot yet agree.. .

NEVER wait to see if a headache will "wear off." Why suffer when there's always Aspirin? The millions of men and women who use it in increasing quantities every year prove that it does relieve such pain. The medical profession pro- nounces it without effect on the heart, so use it as often as it can spare you any pain, Every druggist always has genuine Aspirin tablets for the prompt relief of a headache, colds, neuralgia, lumbago, etc. Fa- miliarize yourself with the prover, Iiifections in every package.

For the Hon. A, 11, Holland -Hibbert has Just suggested a "Hold-up Day," on which motorists would be asked to contrib- ute to the expense' of accident oases in hospital. Acrd Mr. Holland -Hibbert is the brother of Lord Knutsford, chairman of the London Hospital, who has raised more money for the work of our hospital than any other man. If the "Hold-up Day" idea is adopt-, ed, it will probably do something to solve the difficulties of which many country hospitals have been com- plaining during recent years. They ' have to take in accident eases as a result of motor smashes, and in many. instances they receive no payment. This causes financial trouble—and it also may mean that cases of local people—perhaps subscribers to the hospital—who live In the district have to be turned away. A generous response to a epeclal appeal to motorists might help to • sol- ve, this difficultly by enabling badly needed extensions to be put In band. Wisdom Young men are as apt to think themselves wise enough, as drunken men are to think themselves sober enough, 'They look upon Spirit to be a much better thing than Experience; whiob they call Coldness. They are but half mistaken; for though spirit without Experience is dangerous, Fix- perienee without Spirit is 150511id and ineffective —Chesterfield, Surprises There is no perlod of life at which we ought to say' that there are no more glad surprises for 'lee in the future. Life is hard enough, but not eo hard as some 'would make it, and Its rewards come to 'those who have worked for them more often than many would have us believe,—W. Robertson Nicoll,.
