He stripped off his own coat and waistcoat and took the outer gar- ments of men standing near, wrap- ping youngsters, helping crying mo- thers, up from the steerage, "huddling along the unaccustomed deck, white with terror. The stories of the last moments of Gilbert Van Horn marked .him a man utterly unselfish and brave! Hundreds of others .rose to the sublime in their last hour, and othr ers: were blackened, and cursed and looked upon with suspicion because of their rescue. Gerrit Rantoul, am- ong the survivors, had difficulty in explaining the cause of his being in a boat. Some very ugly stories were about. Men had been shot, trying to crowd into boats. The story the .Mhe rescue preceded taken in by a Jewish family, living and doing - a second-hand clothing business on the Bowery... From the hour he sets foot in the city he had to' fight his way through against bul- lies and toughs . . and soon became so proficient. that he attracted the at- tention of a would-be manager of fighters who enters him in many boxing tournaments.:.. It was here that Pug Malone came into young Breen's life — an old fighter who was square and honest ...

One man on the rail was pulled back. Others stepped back. Women and children first! The rule of''the sea! • The boat -began to fill, women were tumbled in, Pell -*sell, "Hold on, do you want to swamp that boat?" The rope falls began to creek as they stretched under the weight. Rantoul, pushing up through half clad hysterical women, tried to frame. the words, "A man here!"' He al most said this. Josephine, rumpled, agitated, indignant, pulled him down. "Sit down, you fool!" She jerked him with a spasmodic pull that drop- ped him flat beside her. The boat was lowering, lowering, a black wall _ of the ship's side liftingbefore them. the return of the survivors. They stopped with a sudden splash News of the loss of Van Horn had in the sea. The water was agitated, all about them boats were dropping into the water. Far up a band of light marked the - promenade, and yellow dots spotted the rows of. lighted. ports. Boats capsized, men' called and women cried. Then sev- eral women got out oars, Josephine among them, and they- pulled awk- wardly away from the dread shadow of the stricken hull. "Get an offing, before the under suction gets you." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ! Boats were swinging, chocks were being dee@pid, hard drumming man- ila falls were dropping on the deck. Many seamen were calling far away and near. "Steady there! Easy! 'Ere, sir! Right 'ere! Handsomely, men! All right. Swing aft, swing forward,!" Their voices rose amid the clamor of the steam. Boats were turning out- board over the side. The ice wall had disappeared. It was merely . a precaution. Had the great Titanic struck the ice? Was she sinking? But there had been no shock, he kept thinking, no shock, Perhaps—but the thought was untenable, impossible. Perhaps there had been a shock when -when he was unaware of anything but Jo- sephine. The thought froze his mind. He must do something. Why in hell did that woman keep clinging to him? The escaping steam was deaf- ening, it began to moderate, thank heaven. He must rouse himself; her. "Josephine, dear! Josephine," he called, close to her ear. "AIl clear, boats?" A loud rough voice of authority was shouting ab- ove the deck, calling through a mega- phone. "Stand by to lower!" "Aye, aye, sir!" A sailor was answering. He stood near Josephine and Rantoul. ".A woman, sir!" he called. The boat had. swung outboard and was at the level of the deck on which they stood."Steady, now! Steady! "Better lift her in, "sir." The words were adressed to Rantoul. "Quick, before we lower. Yes, we're sink- in :' Rantoul staggered to his feet. come by radio. John Breen was at the pier when the rescuing $lip came in. Great confusion prevailed. "Miss Lambert left a, few minutes ago, in a taxi; with a lady and a gentleman." The steward described her and .Ran- toul..

My weight before taking them was 196 lbs., and it is now 128 lbs. Com- pare the difference — it is marvel- lous. IVIy moth'er and sister are also taking, Kruschen and lots of our friends, and they think they are won- derful. As regards diet, it is not ne- cessary to do one „little bit of diet- ing;, in my case I have never denied myself anything since I started tak- ing Kruschen Salts. I: walk every day, and do not eat many potatoes or much sugar, I don't think I shall ever be grateful enough to Kruschen Salts for the great help they have been to me, and. shall never stop tak- ing ".them, or recommending them to people I think need them,"-1Miss).

The sea of ruin was slowly coming up to claim hits. He made no effort to gain a life belt or strike out for a raft or boat. The long rows, of lights flickered, flared up for an instant as the dy- namos took an unusual list, and then, suddenly, the band had tumbled away, the moans continued less loud, cries were lost, the lights went out. The whole scene, for a moment, was in impenetrable black. As if shak- ing itself, dripping off cascades of dull greenish water, the giant hill, rose upright on its stem, men and fittings, like a sudden squall of rain, falling from the decks. All atremble the tremendous hull, stern high in the air, a towering black monolith, a grave stone, pois- ed for an instant, People in the boats, Josephine and Rantoul, eyes wide with horror, heard a deafening roar, a rending of heavy steel. The boilers and machinery had torn loose of their own weight and dashed downward through the resounding coffin of the hull. Frightful rever- berations rumbled over the loaded boats and the people still struggling in the ice-cold water. It was a last. loud protest of the dying Titanic, a horror heard for miles over the calm indifferent, sea. A pool of greenish white, throw- ing back wave rings, marked the spot where the high stern plunged out of sight. A huge hand, appearently, had taken it by the nose and yanked it down, Only faint cries and a disorderly cluster of overladen boats remained. Much of confusion and very much of nobility and assorted and diverse Josephine had swooned. He held her limp and heavy; half dragging her, he staggered across the mess of ropes on (leek "This way," the sea- man pushed! him. His knees tremb- led, he bent over, passed Josephine into the boat, "Lower way—lower!" The boat began to fall, Gerrit Ran- toul, his head swimming, pitched for- ward into the boat, lying in the dark. Josephine, dropped, unceremoniously, sat up beside him on the bottom boards. "Where are we, oh,where are sues" she demanded. "Hold all!" the boat was at the level of the promenade; a crowd of storks, legends and myths, came to passengers surged to the rail, most- shore -with the survivors, picked up Ty in negligee; men wild-eyed, des- by a rescuing liner, called to the dis- oo about, and wiping his forehead. John took his hat and stick, and the old friend. was seated. "No, thanks, John. I'm going easy on the weed.' ' "Have you • heard anything from Josephine?" John asked anxiously. "Is she all right?" "I came from there,' John. She's all right. I' saw her for a moment, privilege of an old family friend, She has been through a hell of an exper- ience, John—she looks it. She said she wanted to get, straightened out, before seeing you. It has been a terrible shock to her, to all of us. Poor Gilbert," The Judge looked about the room, at the pictures of Van Hore, Harboard, Malone, and Josephine, ori the narrow mantel shelf, "John, 1 came up here to speakto you plainly." The Judge settled him- self. John lit a pipe and looked ,past him, out of the window. "Gilbert Van Horn was your father." Judge Kelly spoke - plainly.., "Yes."

Just take a tablet or two of Aspirin. Your suffering ceases. Relief comes instantly, regardless of what may have been making your Bead throb with pain. . Aspirin is harmless ---cannot depress the heart, So there's no use waiting for a headache to "wear oft." It is useless to endure pain of any kind when you can get Aspirin. It is a blessing. to women who suffer regular systemic pain; to men who ]must work on, in spite of eye -strain, fatigue or neuralgia. P 1 ----It IN TRADE-IVMArira RED. IN CANADA
