CHAPTER XL MRS. VANSITTART'S FEAR The tribulations which clustered, in bee-like swarm, in and around the Gulf Rock Lighthouse during those weary hours were many and varlous, fer clothing, Insufficiency of food, nterior temperatures - ranging from" he chill draught of the entrance pas- page and stair-ways to the partial suf- focatlon of rdoms with widows closed owing to the incursions of the rising tide---this unpleasing aggregate of physical misery was seriously aug. mente dby an ever-increasing list of sick people, an almost total absence of any medical comforts, and a grow- ing knowledge, on the part of §hose not too despondent to think, that' their ultimate relief might be defprred for days rather than hours. No mere man can understand, and a woman of ordinary experience cai but dimly imagine, the difficulty and ar duousness of the task undertaken by Constance and Enid. To cook and supply for eighty-one persons with utensils intended for the | use of three, to give each separate in- { dividual an utterly inadequate portion, {80 skilfully distributed that none | should have cause to grumble at his or her neighbor's better fortune--here were culinary problems at once com- plex and exhaustive. By adopting fantastic devices, bringing into service empty jam'pots and sardine-tins, they found it was possible to. feed twenty at a time. This meant the preparation: of four distinct meals, each requiring an hour's work. Long before the last batch, which included themselves, was lamenting the absurd discrepancy be- tween appetite and antidote in the shape of any thing to eat, the first was ravenous again. The women complained the least. In the occupants of the two bedrooms the girls encountered a passive forti- tude which was admirable. It was an extraordinary scene which met their eyes when they entered either of these stuffy apartments. Many of the res- cued ladies had not given a thought to changing the demi-toilette of evening wear on board ship for more service- able clothing when the hurricane overtook the vessel. They all, it is true, possessed cloaks or wraps of i some sort, but these garments were | till sodden with salt water and there- fore unwearable, even if the oppres- sive warmth in each room rendered such a thing possible. Their elegant costumes of muslin, cotton, silk or sa tin, were utterly ruined. Lucky were the few whose blouses or bodices had not been rent into_tatters. Bome of the worst sufferers in this Tespect were now the best provided. Blankets and sheets had been ruthless- Jy torn up and roughly stitched into articles of clothing. Mrs. Vausittart, for instance, who first suggested this via media, wore an exquisite Paris gown and a loose dressing-jacket ar- rangement of yellow blanket, the com- ponent parts of which she persuaded two other women to sew together on the model provided by her own elegant figure. A few quick-witted ones who follow: bd her example exhausted the avail- able stock, and pillow-cases and rugs would have undergone metamorpho- pis in the same way had not Constance come to the rescue by impounding them, declaring that they must be re- served for the use of those sufferers who needed warmth and rest. The men passed, their time in smok- ng, singing, yarning and speculating bn the chance of ithe weather clearing. Ultimately, when the banging of the Svaves again made the column feel un- safe, a small section began to plan Jetty attempts to plifer the provisions. t is the queer mixture of philosopher pnd beast in the average human being that makes it possible for the same an, in one mood, T Fisk his life quite voluntarily to save others, and in an- other, to organize selfish theft. ! After an ingenious seaman had been detected in the attempt to pick the ktore-room lock, and when a tray of cold ham was deliberately 'upset whilst a football scrimmage took place for the pieces, Mr. Emmett stopped these ebullitions by arming the watch With assorted weapons from the work- shop and issuing stern orders as to their use In cast of need. Here, again, the warring elements Which form the human clay were ad- mirably displayed. On duty, under the bonds of discipline, the coarse. gritned foremast hand who had gob bled up a surreptitious lump of fat pig during the first successful scuffle, 'would brain the daring rascal who tried to better his condition by a simi- dar trick a second time. Discipline, metimes, converts a skulker into a ero. When the state of the tide permit- ted, storm-shutters were opened and a free draught of air allowed to enter through the door. Then all hands eyed the sea with anxiety. The wind was strong and piercing, and the reef maintained its ceaseless roaring. Wherever a window opened towards the land there was a small crowd waiting, to peep through it. At last, the sense of orderliness gradually per. meating the inmates of the lighthouse {actually resulted in the formatidn of queues, with stated intervals for mov: ing on. There was a momentary re- Het in looking at the land. The cliffs, the solitary white houses, the little hamlets half hidden in cozy nooks, seemed {0 be 50 absurdly near. It was ridiculous to imagine that help could long be deferred. The seaward pass- ing of a steamer, carrying flowers from the Scilly Isles to Penzance for Covent Garden. caused a flutter, but the sight of a Penzance tishing-smack scudding under Jib and close-reefed foresail between the rock and Guthen- bras Point created intense excitement. Noah, gasing across i the oiive bfanch, could not be more pleased than these castaways in their granite ark when the brown-sailed boat came within their view. The window Inthe coal-cellar open- ed fair towards Land's End, and the grimy occupants of this compart. ment could look their fill at the mes senger of life. A rich New Yorker in vain offered a hundred dollars to any man who gave up his place in the line after he himself, by the operation of the time-limit, was remorselessly gent away from the marrow loop-hole. Dollars and pounds sterling have a curiously depreciated value under such circumstances ' ' The men of the watch were always questioned for news by the unemploy- ed majority. They related the com- ings and goings of the Falcon, carried sympathetic inquiries from story to tory--promiscuous passing to and ro being forbidden owing to the nar of the stairs--and seized every trifling pretext on their own part to reach the topmost height and feast their eyes on the extensive pan- orama visible from the storm-girt gallery. . Had they watched the poast- line less and the reef more their ob- servations would have had value. Quite early in the day, the: purser handed to the occupants of epeh- room' a full list of passengers and crew, with; the survivors grouped separately. In. only three instances were husband and wife both saved. The awful scene In the saloon accounted for this seem. Ing discrepancy. Dazed men and wnseless women were wrenched from each other's clasp either by the over- whelming seas or during the final wild fight for life at the head of the com: panion stairway. .A wreck, a fire in the theatre, pays little heed to the marriage tie. The third and last meal of the day was 'eaten in silence and gloom. All the spare lamps were diverted to.the kitchen, because Brand, during a fur ther detailed survey of the stores, made in company with Mr. Emmett and the purser, discovered that there was an alarming deficit of fresh wa ter in the cistern. In the hurry of the earlier hours a serious miscalculation had been made In transmuting cubic feet inte gallons It became an ingtant necessity to use every heating appliance at command and start the distillation of a drink: able fluid. i The Gulf Rock Light did not possess & proper apparatus. The only method that could be adopted was to impro- vise a coil from canvas sewn into a tube. The exterior was varnished, and wrapped in wet cloths to assist the condensation of the steam. Hence, every kettle and pot being requisi tioned for this paramount need, cocoa could be supplied ta the women alone, whilst the taste of the water, even thus disguised, was nauseating. No more potatoes could be boiled. Raw, they were almost uneatable. And potatoes happened to be the food most plentiful. The genuine fresh water, reduced fo a minimum in the cistern, was only a little better in condition unless it was filtered, and Brand decided that it ought to be retained for the exclu sive use of thde seribusly ill. Pa tients were multiplying so rapidly that the hospital was crowded; and all fresh cases, as they occurred, per force remained where they were. Neither Constance nor Enid felt the time hang heavily on their hands. They were too busy, though the new ordinance regarding the food supply transferred their attention from active cooking fo the replenishing of uten sills which must be kept full of salt water at boiling-point.' Pyne was an invaluable assistant. In the adjustment of refractory can- vas tubes over hot spouts, in the man: ipulation of the condensing plant so that it might act efficiently, in the trimming of lamps, and the stocking of the solitary coal fire, he insisted on taking to himself the lion's share of the work. He always had a pleasant quip or funny story to brighten their talk. "You can conquer trouble with a grin," he said. "Worry doesn't cut ice." Enid, of course chaffed him about his, American accent, which, she pro- tested, she would acquire after a week's practice. "It is quaint to our ears," on. she went "I never before grasped the rea son why Mark Twain makes me Jaugh. All he does is to act as a phonograph. Every American is a born humorist." "There's something in that," ad- mitted Pyne. "We do try to dis-inter #& joke. Say. Have you girls ever heard how an Knglish professor ex- plained the Yankee drawl? > . "No," they cried. { "He said it represented the effort of an uneducated man to make a speech. Every time Lis vocabulary g he lifted his voice to sho halt through with his ideas." "Oh," said Constance, * ther kind nor true, surely. (To be continued.) Get Rid of Bronchitis The worst feature of bronchitis is the tendency to return year after year until the system is worn out and gives way to consumption, or other ravaging disease. Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine owes much of its great popularity to t fact that it posi- tively cures bronchitis. and this is about-as severe a test as can be made of a medicine of this kind. Mr. W. H. Walker, Calmar, Alta., writes: "I am pleased to say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine has done much good to myself, wife apd children. My eldest girl, seven years, had bronchitis, and the doctor who attended her did-not seem to do much good. We got Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed ahd Tur- pentine for her and she soon got well. We always keep this medicine in fhe house now ready for use, and find that it soon cures coughs and colds." : : \ In fighting diseases of the throat and lungs half the battle is in hav- ing Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine at hand to be promptly.

IL A TREASURER CONVICTED FOR ACCEPTING A CHECK Heavy Penalties Imposed For Such a Crime + Ontario Liberals Have Passed For a Similar Law But so Far Have Not Been Successful. New York, Jan. 20.--Public inter- | est still centres 1n the dramatic case of Arthur A. McLean, treasurer of the democratic New York state com- mittee, who pleaded guilty to the charge of accepting (by endorsing a cheque) a political contribution from a corporation, the Dale iingineering company. The amount of the cheque was $400.00. McLean, who is sixty years OX age and a well-known citizen of the state, was allowed a suspended sentence. The case was handled for the state by Charles S. Whitman, the famous district attorney. The judge, in summing up, declared: "I think that the excellent work of the district at- torney in this investigation and the wide publicity which has been given to it will in future secure compliante with this very salutary law." The New York law referred to and violated in this case enacts that no corporation or joint stock association shall directly or indirectly pay or use any money or property for dr in the aid of any political party, committee or organization, and any person whe solicits or knowingly receives any money or property in violation of this section shall be guilty of a mis- demeanor and punishable by ifmpris- onment in the penitentiary or county jail for not more than one year and a fine of not more than one thousand dollars. At the last'session of the Ontario legislature two bills were introduced by the opposition,--one by J. G. An- .derson, South Bruce, requiring the publication of contributions for po- litical purposes, and the other by Thomas Marshall, Monck, to prohibit political contributions 'by corpora' tions. The prime minister asked that these bills be withdrawn _ but stated that if they were re-introduc- ed at the next session they would be given favorable consideration by the government which, he said, was in agreement with their principle. The present provincial liberal par- ty has the following plank in platform: "We will prohibit under adequate penalties all corporations over which the province has jurisdic- tion from making campaign contri- butions, require the publication of als campaign contributions to candidates and political organizations, and pro- vide for the appointment of a public prosecutor, as in 'England, whose duty it shall be to intervene in con- tested elections to see that all who are guilty of electoral fraud or cor- ruption are duly prosecuted." The matter will doubtless be pre- sented to the house by the opposi- tion once again at the coming ses- sion. its No Teacher at Frankville Frankville, Jan. 19--Om Friday, Jan. 16th the Epworth League held a social evening at the home of Mr and Mrs. Clark, Eaton.
