Gilbert and Josephine were in
Paris in early April. Josephine com-
pleted her trousseau. Rantoul had
gone on ahead to London, Then
they were at the Cecil for a few
days. Rantoul had preceeded them.
A letter from John reached, Van

He suddenly drew her to him, fierce

flashed a message To each other in
the dark above, the rushing night,
above the blue-balck water scarred
with fire. She dropped her lids; his
eyes, bluing, eager, were on her own.
They seemed 'to be buoyant, her
„cloak fell apart and ha crushed her
to him. Rantoul, utterly out of con-
trol, kissed her with the pent-up
yearning of months and years o
waiting. Passionately their lips me
in, their warm embrace.
And the stars winked down upon

was decidedly cool; cold.
Another' disturbing rocket rose
above them. Those officious fools
on the bridge were signalling, they..
were always signalling, or something.
Rantoul was irritable. Then another

blackening sky, It was late Jose -

a terrific strength the girl had! The
engines were stopped and •safety
valves were lifting on the tortured
boilers.
The sea had changed, the great
ship was sluggish. Peering off into
the dark, Rantoul saw a ghostlike
wall, a towering apparition looming
above them, above the funnels, close
aboard and drawing slowly astern.
Ice, of course, How lucky they had
missed it. Ugh! it was cold. His

Then the boat deck was stirring
with men. Far forward on the
bridge, lights flashed. It had been in
darkness before. •The radio was
sending. The steamer seemed to
shake. Seamen with axes and knives
were running aft. An officer, his
trousers hastily tucked into short
boots, brushed past them. He play-

he responded to her mischievous

of their speed. They looked down

Rantoul knew the time was getting
short. He instinctively felt the mo-

at last arrived at the final movement

Some Tall Dahlias
The past season hase been a great
one for growth, garden stuff espec-
lially showing wonderful development
—an example of this unsual growth
are some dahlias in Mr. Leonard
Heard's garden which have reached a
great height, one, a Jane Cowl, one
of those distributed by the Horticul-
tural Society, measures nine feet, six
inches, and is still growing. This
bush has had a great many blooms
and is still bearing, although the
flowers are not quite so large as the
first ones were. They are a rich red-
dish yellow or bronze. Another var-
iety, a crimson, was not much behind
the Jane Cowl, and a mauve about

Kincardine Fall Fair
Over the Top
From all appearances, old man de-
pression had no foothold at the Kin-
cardine Fall Fair held on Thursday
and Friday of last week. Unlike the
C.N.E., the gate receipts were over
the top, not only higher than last
year, but the highest since 1922, there
being 1908 paid admissions. With no-
thing to be asked for in the way of
weather conditions, it was a great
success and the executive and board
of directors are to be complimented
on the success which their efforts
achieved.
Lake Level Low
The Water in Lake Huron has
dropped to a "critical" low level only
two and a quarter inches higher than
the lowest level since 1860, according
to a report of the Canadian hydro-
graphic service. Montreal harbour
water dropped only 1+1 inches from
July to August as compared with a
72 year average drop for that per-
iod of 13e inches, Lake Superior
maintained a higher than average lev-
el in August, while other Great Lake
and St. Lawrence river levels were
somewhat lower than average.

DRINK WATER!
Most people, without much effort,
can secure all the water they require
for drinking. Nevertheless, many
persons suffer from a lack of th
full measure of the health they could
enjoy, because they fail to use plenty
of water.
We cannot enjoy good health i
we deprive our bodies of the water
which they need. Water is an essen-
tial part of every tissue of the body.
The blood is mostly water, and even
such hard , tissues as the teeth and
the hones contain water.
Without sufficient water the body
functions become disturbed. There
may be headaches, the digestive sys-
tem may be upset, or other symp-
torusf
o faulty functioning may ap-
pear. We can live for many days
without
food; life can continue for
only a few days without water.
The regular daily use of water is
necessary to replace the water which
our bodies lose each day we live.
Water is lost in every breath. Just
breathe on a cold glass and you will
see, collected on the glass, the drop-
lets of wtaer which are contained in
the breath.
The skin gets rid of a large am-
ount of water in the form of perspir-
ation. This is obvious in sunnier.
It goes on, to a lesser degree, in
cold weather when — because it is
not noticeable — it is called "insen-
sible" perspiration,
Quantities of water are passed
e through the various channels men -
'Honed,
ten-boned,.We must take into our bod-
ies an
od-iesan amount of water at least equal
to what we lose if we are to keep
f our bodies healthy.
Many people used to go to some
mineral springs when they felt "be-
low par". The benefits received
from their stay at the springs were
due in lrage measure to the increas-
ed quantities of water they drink.
Much of the water we require is
taken into our bodies in our foods,
many of which contain a large per-
centage of water. Green vegetables -
and fruits contain much water; about
87% of milk is water.
Moderate amounts of fliuds with
meals is desirable, provided they are -
not used to take the place of thor-
ough chewing ch wing of the food.
The time to drink at meals is -
when the mouth is empty and never
to wash down food:
A glass or two o fwater upon ris-
ing in the morning, and between,
meals, together with the moderate
use of fluids at meals, will assure the
regular daily use of plenty of water
which is essential to good health.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,.

he approaches the 'proprietor and
asks for a meal, stating that he has
not eaten for three days and has no
money with which to pay. Being fur-
nished, with a meal he pulls a hand-
kerchief out of the breast pocket of
his coat and as he does a ten dollar
bill comes out with it and falls upon
the counter. This usually attracts the
attention of the proprietor who nat
urally seizes the bill and taking out
price of the meat gives the beg-
gar the change. When the proprietor
takes the bill to the bank he is in-
formed it is counterfeit. The bank
also informs him, after hearing the
circumstances, that nothing can be'
done about it because the swindler
has not actually passed the bill to the -
proprietor.
