Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Creston, Iowa—"I suffered with fe- male troubles from the time I came into womanhood • until I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta- ble Compound. I would have pains if I overworked or lifted anything. heavy, and I would beso weak and ner- vous and in so much misery that I would be prostrated. A friend told me what your medicine had done for her and I tried it. It made me strong and healthy and our home is now happy with a baby boy. I am very glad that I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and do all I can to recommend it. "—Mrs.A. B. BoscAnr, 504 E. Howard. Street, Creston, Iowa. Tons of Roots and Herbs are used annually in the manufacture of Lydia E.

"My Dear Mr. Phinney-My Dear Mr. Phinney." ;enable you to put me in the way of finding what I wanted; I didn't expect ,that you would-er—ahem!—" Tom took the words out of his mouth. "Strike you for the job myself, eh? Well, I have." Brownlow seated himself at his desk, upon which he thoughtfully drummed with his fingers, every now and then directing a ebarp glance at his caller. Tom was beginning to real- ize that the employment of a captain for the Kohinur, for some occult cause, was not to be so simply arranged as such matters generally are; the pre- liminaries were unusual and—to him— unnecessary; he was becoming more and more puzzled, for he believed that Brownlow was needlessly investing the proceedings with an air of mys- tery, and this made him restive. By and by Brownlow drew a long breath and once, more gloomily shook his head. "I'm fearful that it's not to be," sighed he, heavily. "When you hear the conditions you will back out like all the rest of 'em. Seems like these days navigators are too busy clipping Coupons and drawing dividends to be attracted by a little thing like double wages." Tom pricked up his ears. Two pas- times had been mentioned which he, at least, never had enjoyed. He inter- rupted with an exclamation. "Double wages! Say"—eagerly—"if the game's straight I don't care to hear conditions. Where's your yacht? I'll get my dunnage aboard without wast- ing any more time." The little mean bounded from his chair and began pacing the floor with short, nervous stridee. ');very now and then he would halt with a jerk and address a few remarks to Tom, rub hie hands together briskly and dart off upon his promenade. "I declare, Mr. Phinney," he spoke vehemently, "in a way this is a rare stroke of luck for me; but before we go any further I must—my conscience impels me to tell you—ahem!—some things. Certain details must be laid before you before I allow you, out of the generosity of your nature, to bind yourself to any obligation. The condi- tions, I believe I may truthfully af- firm, are extraordinary; indeed, with- out exaggerating the state of affairs, I may even go so .far as to say that they are astoundingly extraordinary; and 1 must put you into possession of such 'facts as I am at liberty to impart. "But" -he broke off abruptly—"I need more than a captain; I am ,pledged to secure the services of a first and second officer and a chief en- gineer. The scamps who have been serving me in those capacities—con- found 'em—are poor, miserable, spine- less creatures whose' proper walk in life is between a•pair of plow -handles sea-go- 'ing kof instead of upon the. deck g ;ing craft. They are a pack of cow- ards, Mr. Phinney, when an oppor- itunity is presented to them that (smacks of adventure. As I have al- ready intimated, I've had the devil's own time trying to find men for the billets, and you'll have to scare 'em up' !somehow,somewhere, before six o'clock. That's the fix I'm in." "But what is it you want to tell me?" IT= impatiently tried to pin hint down. "If the thing depends upon so much we haven't any time to spare. 've a motor below, and I'm pretty sure can get the men." ' Brownlow threw himself into his ichalr and hitched it closer to Tom. peening forward, in a confidential atti- tude and occasionally emphasizing his !remarks with a vigorous tapupon the young man's knee, he impressively be- gan: "Looky here, Mr, Phinney—here's Lhe way of it. A certain party wants. to charter the Kohinur for an indefl- nite,5period. Ordinarily I wouldn't lis- ten to such a proposal, but he offered One.. a sum of money that quite took my ;breath away, and—ahem!—to be frank with you, just now I need the money more than I do the boat. Do you get me?' Well! He put 1t up to me to find the mea I have mentioned—rest of the crow's all right—but the renter prise is wholly secret. Understand? Secret! They balked. And there you are.".

Addroaa: THE -COOK MEDICINE CO, '018!110, ONT. Mangey Windsor./ "A -ha!" interjected the bewildered listener, who was now beginning to see light. "That listens well—if the thing's not crooked." "Crooked!" shouted Brownlow, aghast at the very idea. "Young man, do you think I would lend myself to anything crooked?" Tom did not com- Onit himself, and the other went on with much warmth. "As I say, the en- terprise 1s secret; I myself am igno- rant of its nature; but—believe me, Mr. Phinney—it is indorsed by a name that would astonish you were I at lib- erty to mention it. In point of fact, it was that name that finally influenced me to accept the offer. Crooked? God bless my soul, no!" Tom was already upon his feet. "If that's all I'll go hunt for men. We haven't any time to lose. What then?" CHAPTER II. The Voice in the Dark. Phe importer also arose, and coming over to Tom, once more took his hand and peered searchingly up into his face. "You are perfectly satisfied with the conditions?" he queried, not without a note of anxiety. "Why not? I have your word for it that the enterprise is honest; as for the other part of it, why, the secrecy and all that sort of thing, it only makes a fellow a bit more keen, don't you know." "You are confident you can fill the billets?" "Sure thing. I know the very chaps who will jump at a chance like this, where they would turn down an ordi- nary offer. You didn't know where to look, Mr. Brownlow." The old gentleman breathed a sigh of relief, "I suppose not," he admit- ted. "I never before had to deal with a matter like this. You know where the Claremont is?" Tom nodded. Ile had dined there often enough to have its location and its other characteristics pretty well stamped upon his memory. Brownlow continued: "The Kohinur is at anchor in the Hudson, just off the Claremont land- ing. Her bunkers are full; most of her supplies are on board, but I'll take it upon myself to complete the list this afternoon. I'll wait for you there. There are some further instructions that I must give you before the char- terer and party come aboard." Tom hastened away. a a . His assurance that he could find the men to com- plete the Kohinur's equipment was not ill-advised; he had in mind the very men he wanted, and his task was sim- ply one of running them to earth. As being of prime importance, he first secured the engineer, and by five o'clock had found Phil Mercer. This Young man he was forced, almost lit- erally, to shanghai. That is to say, Mercer was disposed to hang back be- cause of certain delinquencies which had been the occasion of his expulsion, from Annapolis, so that Tom was' obliged to pick him up bodily and de- posit o-posit bim beside the driver's seat. Cox, the engineer, lolling at ease in the tonneau, grinned cheerfully, "Maybe you don't want the job or need the money," announced Tom with decision, "but I do need a first officer —in a devil of a hurry, too -and I'm hot going to be over -particular about how I get him. You're elected. As it is, I'1'l have to get along without a second, unless I can break in one of Brownlow's tars. I've got you, and take it from me, you're not going to get away." But—you know, Tom—" Mercer tried a final protest, even while Tom was throwing in the clutch. The lat- ter cut curtly in: "Yes, I know. But, believe me, Phil, the booze isn't going to get you while you're, on the Kohinur within°, This job will beat all the jag cures you've ever been up against. You'll be en- titled to a,'post-graduate diploma when you are ,discharged." Mercer subsided, grumblingly ac- cepting the inevitable. � g ''.

Then he and Mercer and Cox clambered, down to the Claremont'e landing, where a launchas waiting. w After persuading Phil. Mercer that be didn't have to attend to a suddenly recollected telephone message, or any other errand that might take him in the neighborhood o ' l nt' g P the C aremo s bar, Tom addressed himself to the white -uniformed sailor in charge of the launch. "It this the •Kohinur's launch?" he demanded. The .fellow jerked an indifferent' thumb in the general direction of the boat's varnished bow, where the name was conspicuously emblazoned ie raised, but somewhat tarnished, braes 1"attars, . "You can read, can't you?" was the impudent reply. 'Look here, any pian; you answer a civil 'question . civilly, and say 'sir'" when you speak to me. Do y'get me?" The sailor recoiled with droppocl. jaw. "Beg pardon, sir," he made haste to conciliate. "You're Captain Phinney F—I didn't know." "Answer my question," "Yes, sir; this is the Kohinur'e launch. I was waiting for you. Mr. 'Brownlow's on board now." ^^ PAGE SEVEN "Look at that lettering," went on Tom sternly, indicating the name on the bow; "as green and dull as an old' brass kettle. And what do y'mean, coming after your captain in a soiled h'lg like that? You'll put in the rest of the evening washing and ironing it." By which episode it may be seen that Tom Phinney of the Powhatan, and Captain Phinney of the yacht Kohinur, were two distinctly different personalities—a detail worthremem- bering in the light of what is to follow later on. When Tom swung aboard at the bead of his recruits, his appraising eye tools in at once the deck's untidy appearance, the indolent attitudes of the watch and the men forward, and in the face of so many evidences of lax 'discipline he utterly ignored Brown - low's demonstrations of joy at his ap- pearance. He addressed his mate: "Will you look at this canal -barge, Mr. Mercer? Put those loafers to work at once, and make 'em jump. Charter- er's coming aboard tonight, and I'd be ashamed to look him in the face if I had to meet him in a pig -pen like this. Get down the accommodation-ladder— he can't climb a rope. The bo'sun will take the launch ashore atter supper and wait for tine party." He wheeled abruptly upon the sailor of the launch, "What's your name?" "Charlie Winnard, sir." "Very well, Charlie Winnard; you know what you have to do, so step lively. And you might pass a word along to your mates; the first man that shows himself above -deck in a rig as filthy as yours will do bis watch's laundry for a week. Get along with you." "Aye, aye, sir." And the man sa- luted and stepped away with alacrity. A moment later Tom and the owner were alone in the charthouse away from the noufusion. gar. Brownlow got down to business immediately. He fur- nished Tom with a list of steward's eatppli,'s, minimising everything from gasoline for the Manch to champagne for the passengers, a glance at which mad', tin..atipp.,r open his eyes. "Whew!" whistled. "That reads like a Rector menu; we shan't go hungry or dry in the officers' mess, anyhow." "I'd like to do things right," returned Brownlow, rubbing his spare hands with obvious satisfaction. "There will be ladies in tine party, and they are very particular people." "Ladies!" exclaimed Captain Phin- ney, scowling. "On a secret cruise? I don't like that" The Daher nodded. "But you won't have to worry about them. . - Now I want to give you your final in- structions; they are brief and not dif- ficult to follow; then I must be getting along. "First, the charterer and party will 'want to come aboard somewhere around nine o'clock tonight; he will bring you a note trona me. "Second, it is uncertain when you will sail; but fires must be 'kept banked in readiness to clear at any time." "Third, after nightfall the boat must be kept dark -all interior lights close- ly shaded—none whatever displayed on or above deck except your regula- tion port and starboard lights. pd is to be permitted "Fourth, nobody e to come aboard or go ashore without •the charterer's express permission.

One notes with interest the revival in popularity of covert cloth. It is a fabric that is satisfactory in appear- ance and wearing qualities, Many spring models shown by manufactur- ers are carried out in this material. Illustrated here is. a street gown of covert with an oddly designed coat. The pointed fronts, high belt which buttons to the coat in the front con- fines the fullness at the sides. There is a plain, straight collar which rolls up around the throat. The diagonal straps are really patch pockets. The gored 1 r has the fashionable flare i t skirt and is in accordance with fashion's preference for fuller skirts on spring gowns. PETTICOATS FOR DANCING. Slashes at the Side to Permit Freedom of Movement. The dancing petticoat is usually made with a slash in each side. This arrangement• insures freedom, without which it is impossible nowadays to dance. The lower edges of the front and back of the petticoat are usually rounded, so that the petticoat is really formed of two sections rounded into a deep oval at the bottom fastened to- gether along their long edges and fit- ted or gathered into the waist along the narrow edges. Petticoats of knitted sill: are far more durable than those made even of the softest and best satin. For eventu- ally the satin wears out, and it seems as if the knitted sill: fabric never wears out. It is usually used for the upper pert of the petticoat and in more expensive ones is used also for the plaited ruffle. These are more than worth the extra price charged for them. Petticoats made of pique, buttonholed in big scallops about the bottom, are durable and serviceable. They are not transparent, and that is one of the things that commend them for practi- cal wear. Care of the Sink. Never leave the kitchen, sink in a greasy and dirty state. Do not throw anything but water down it, and if the water is greasy flush it well afterward with hot soapy water. When the washing is finished pour down some hot soda water as an extra precaution. Never allow grease and refuse to col- lect in the sink pipe and trap or they will soon get out of order. Every sink should be provided with a sink basket in which to keep tea leaves and vege- table parings, etc., and a sink brush, with which the sink should be thor- oughly scoured after each washing up. iHow to Care' fore Your Complexion There is no truer saying than that "beauty is only skin deep.", Good' features lose their charm under a sallow or blotchy skin andpoor features are glorified by e beautiful' complexion, A very useful toilet booklet entitled " Your Coviplexiop " has just been issued by Nyal's and contains many helpful; health and beauty hints, includ- ing proper methods of massage. It can be had fortbeasking at the Nyal Agency Drug Store and you should call or tele- phone for it. Among other things it points out is that diet, sleep, ventilation, . and a thousand other things we cannot escape are continually warring against 010co11plexions. Get a 25c or 5oc jar of Nyal's Pace Cream and convince your- self of its cleansing and refreshingand beautifying qualities. It is greaseless, oxygenated and quickly absorbed by the skin, leaves no shine, and gives a pleasant, smooth, cool sensation, quick- ly removing the irritation produced by wind and weather. 119a All Nyal preparations are justly fain- ousand none more so than Nyal's Face Cream which we unhesitatingly recom- mend.
