But Jeanne's eye does not 'quail, nor her hands faker. With her veft, red lips set firmly, and her eyes all figlow with exoitement, she sticks to her post 1 "The ehennel must be narrow here," i says Vane crawling nearer to her. IJeanne nods. "I know it. I am steering for that ' point there," and she nods toward the cliff opening. I But the next instant he mils to Hal: I "Look to the sail!" and lays his strong hand over hers. "We are drawing too near on," he says, "if that is the point. Let me help you." Jeanen does not refuso, and shifts hands, but his are still touching them, and. bis face is close to her heart. Once, afnn,h ' loosely by the wind, sweeps lightly against his cheek, and she feels his hand press more tightly on hers. She knows, . too, that his eyes are fixed on hers, al- though she does not look toward him, and there IS a strange throbbing at her heart which troubles and bewilders her, even in this intense moment, and she grows pale. I "Jeanne -Jeanne!" she hears him I whisper; "you are not afraid?" ".Afraid? no," she replies, half turning her face to him, with a wistful look. "No, I not afraid." "What then?" he asks. ' Jeanne looks around with dreamy eyes in which there is something of the startled. expressiou of a wild animal when it first hears the cry of its hunt- ers, and feels that it will soon be at bay, "I do not know," she says, tremulous- ly. "I cannot hold the helm." "Leave it to me, Jeanne," he says, ' and as he grasps the tiller with one strong hand, he draws her downward with the other. "Leave it to me, Jeanne." "Make for the point," she murmurs, in his ear, then sits with lowered head that nearly touches his breast. Straight on her course rushes the Nancy Bell, watched by anxious eyes from the shore, which strive to get a glimpse at Jeanne, and marvel at mis- sing her from her place. It is the first time Jeanne had. flinched from her post. What ails her? Is it fear that caused her hands to slip from the helm -that forces her to sit so meekly where he bade her? Is it fear? Jeanne cannot tell. Be- fore her the cliffs loom as if in a dream; all she feels is the warm, firm, yet ten- der grasp of the strong arm -all she hears above the wind is the musical "Jeanne -Jeanne!" So she its, drooping like a rose, bent by the storm, until the Nancy Bell, with one impetuous leap, rushes her keel upon the shore. The, as he lifts her in his elbow and looking up at her; "f did. not "Hal apears to be arms, she bears his voice soft); in her trying his hand at think it would interest you, or I would have done so. Besides, running a yacht on a coral reef does not redound to my credit, and. yea might have refused to permit the presence of such an unlucky sailor on board the Nancy Bell." Jeanne smiled. "I did not think you'd come," she said. "And I knew that I should," he said, coming a little nearer to her, but still keeping a wary eye on the sail. "I could not have refused, though perhaps it would have been wiser," he added, al - moat absently. "Do you think I shall be run on a reef, then?" said Jeanne, naively. "You may," he said, looking at her Intently; "but not on a reef of this coast -there are osher neat than Newton Regia owns, Miss Jeanne." He spoke half -jestingly, but the smile that slightly curved his lip was a grave on. Jeanne looked at him musingly, in- nocently. "Then you had better come and take the helm," she said.

A. novel and somewhat scientific method has recently been devised for tho railways of Switzerland, owned by the Government to determine the half -fare limit for chil- dren. Instead of an age limit, which has been the custom hitherto, it standard of height is to be employed, and a gauge and scale will be placed at each ticket office, so that the agent can tell at a glance whe- ther the child requires a full fare. It Is as- aumed that this 113 an equitable method of doing away with considerable impoaltion on the railroads, while at the sante time chil- dren of small size who are above the legal age would be correspondingly benefited. could think of, I was unable to get bet- piano or sing she makes herself more ter. valuable.

A famous physician upon being asked recently what is the chief cause of ill health, replied; Thinking and talking about it all the time. This ceaseless in- trospection ill which so many of the ris- ing generation of the nervous folk ine dulge is certainly wearing them out. When they are not worrying as to whe- ther they sleep too much or too little, they are fidgeting over the amount of food they take or the quantity of exer- cise necessary for health. In short, they never give themselves a moment's peace." - DEAFNESS 0F12 YEARS' STAND- ING. -Protracted Catarrh produceo deaf- ness in many cases.

According to an English specialist who has made a careful study of the subject the reason why women are better look- ing than men is because they are more indolent, and are not called upon to use their brains as much as men are. Hard intellectual work and assiduous attention to business, he says. are harmful so far as physical beauty is concerned. As proof that his theory is correct he points to the Zeros, whose home is in British India. Among them women hold the place which in other countries is oc- calmed by men. The Zero woman man- ages the affairs of state, goes into masa ness on her own account ,and does not Wait for it proposal of marriage, but pro- poses hereelf; whereas the Zaro man has nothing to do but cook the meals and look after his ehildren. The natural re - suit, says the scientist, is that the men of this singular tribe are very pretty and the ‚women are unitenally plain. : r THE BACKACHE STAGE may be Just that incipient form of kidney disease which, if neglected, will develop into stub- born and distressing disorder that will take long tedious treatment to sure.
