Fortunately, - for Rantoul, Van Horn x h d no' a idea of this phase of his conversations with' Josephine, "Rantoul's going over on busi- ness," Van Horn remarked to John. "Fine, that'll keep Josephine occu- pied. He's handy" John had no spe- cial reason to accept Rantoul as any- thing but a very agreeable old man. "When you are married, next spring, I'll have a very important thing to say, John," Van Horn held John's hand, looked steadily into his eyes_ Their glances dimmed mom- entarily. "Gilbert clear, John's mine, not yours. Give me a chance, please." A sudden mood seized her, there on the' deck she hugged John, his arm was over her Shoulder, their lips met, Gilbert Van Horn, a smile on his face ,stood near them. Suddenly his ashen look seemed to wash away. He became genial, agreeable. He looked at Rantoul, but that distinguished cosmopolitan was busy waving at friends on the wharf. A whistle was blowing, Visitors were hastily leav- ing the deck of the steamer. "Good by, John, good -by." * * * The business of drilling, explod- ing and mucking out rock, of punch- ing a long tunnel, miles and miles of it, two and some places four city blocks, straight down in the rock crust of the earth, of lining it with concrete, mixed by machinery, spad- ed and tamped behind steel forms, of fitting monster bronze gates and valves, of carrying out the magnifi- cent details of conception, all un - thought of, unsung, unknown, except in its list of deaths, occupied John Breen, C.E., through the winter and into the spring of 1912, ,_,, , A month latera T waiting for his return. He had planned a walking trip through the Berkshires, "A regular Malone hike," John had written. "Pug wants to get away from his work, He's had a rotten winter, Greenbough fill- ed with bad livers. I am full of tun- nel air and need a change. And, Gil, I'm crazy for Josephine, crazyfor her again. I never knew what love meant, until now." Poor John! It was spring. Gilbert Van Horn care- fully folded the letter and gave a sighofsatisfaction. Thank God they were homeward bound, He cabled Marvin Kelly. "Sailing tomorrow. All well." Halfway across, on her maiden ov v • a®e, the Titanic raced through a smooth sea, a flat flexible sea enam- eled in the deepest indigo reflecting stars, great facts, glinting in the sky. But stars have long been ignored by men, or theyhave v been conjured with, it matters very little to the stars, and few attended them that night. Dinner was over and Gilbert Van Horn busied himself in the smoking room, playing solitaire, a demi-tasse and his pipe keeping him occupied, Aunt Wen had retired to her state room, the night was slight- ly chill, a breath of the outer voids, a touch of the ethereal cold. Few were out, but Josephine, on the arm of Rantoul, both in ample steamer coats, waked the deck, broad and white, like . a lighted aye, at th re ail a he ht is v- SI v- ie ch a y n 1 e s ,lin was visiting Harboard at tiie University.

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 so different, Much if this was in the sigh; a implicit an answer to the many days o their circumspect intimacy. Rantou caught her bare hand, with his fre arm partly muffled in the warm wide sleeve of her cloak. Word were so inadequate, so unnecessary He suddenly drew her to him, fierce ly, nor did she resist. Their eyes 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 thein, The floodgates were wide op - was a trifle heavy, for one so young and willowy, and all that. Also, it 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 and another rocket lifted into the blackening sky, It was late Jose - 'Ain was unnerved, A loud s1it dd- ering . screech of escaping steam thundered above them on the .fun - eels, the shaking white clouds bulg- ing like cotton overhead, Josephine clung desperately to .Rantoul. What 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 limbs ached, he shivered, he Wish- ed Josephine in hell, Perhaps, he had been a bit hasty. She stirred un- easily, she also saw the ice. A feel- ing of guilty terror seized thein. His armse w re tired; he was longer to r as vigorous as he had been in years past. 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- ed-his layed-his flash lamp on them, moment- arily. Josephine thought she saw him smile. But why the rushing about, .. the excitement . . what had happen- ed.?

A lounge seat, used by shuffle -board players, held them as they gave themselves up to the common.things. She clung to hint as women cling when they are moved by strong pas- sion. She lifted him beyond alf cau- tion, shattering his elaborate defens- es; both Rantoul and Josephine paid whatever price their dallying entail- ed. For an hour they sat quiet, hud- dled, barely doing more than mur- muring. The night was velvet black; a secret night. of adventure Josephine, nodding at a ladder, pulled her escort. "Let's go up, Monsieur Gerry." How quickly he responded to her mischievous spirit. They were on the deserted boat deck and walked aft, far abaft the funnels. The peculiar spiral of black smoke twisting rapidly over the rims of the huge stacks and curl- ing astern, was the only indication of their speed. They looked down over the steep side, from the rail, A singing white streak of water rush- ed by the black hull, a seething phosphorescent band of light. Rantoul knew the time was getting short. He instinctively felt the mo- ment had come. If the heart of Jo- sephine was to be captured he had at last arrived at the final movement of assault. He walked with her in silence, holding her close to hire.

It burst with a loud detonation. Showers of stars dropped from the black sky, sudden- ly shutting out the firmament with their closer fire. The boat deck was lit by the falling glare.

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 the same height, --Clinton News -Re- cord. 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.

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 in ragged and dirty clothes, 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. from HEADACHES COLDS AND SO THROAT NEURITIS, NEURALGIA Don't be a chrome sufferer " from headaches, or any other pain.
