Another afternoon we hauled a monster shark aboard and l. l ato'him. with the greater relish when l we remembered that he would doubt- less have done the same by us had the tables been turned. On the llftocuth night we watched. with no little uneasiness. a pale. flicker- ing dams passing along the waters in coiling curves some two leagues on to- ward the north-northwest.

Scarccly had the lust flicker of the sea nerpent's trail tiled into the night when Job 'i‘rchnllon. who an the keen- cst sighted man on board was Jockey- lng the fore crosstrcc. hailed that an- other light was shining out now. “What kind of light?” cried Alec.

Our numbers were small. but the 82 men who assembled without needing a drum to beat them to quarters were tough as whipcord and wiry as game- cocks. There were no 'prcntico bands to hinder matters by over-willing scurry and bustle. nor were there any cowards who would duck to flying bullets. Each man knew his place and his work and went to it. Guns were cast loose and loaded. plken unlashed from the booms. arcs and small arms taken from their racks. lintatoclt tubs arranged along the decks. the powder room thrown open and everything cleared for action. Yet all this was done with the greatest quietness. so that if possible we might creep up within range of the enemy un- discovered - The night W“ 081'! ‘30 [film our purpose well.

In our largest cen- ttrs of population. such as New York and Chicago, we daily see more attention gin-n to the inner man. Cafes and lunch-rooms are filled with men and women who seem to give all their time .nnd attention to thoughts of properlv or improperly feeding their stomachs. "it is of course best to eat slowly. but not too much}: says Dr. Pierce. chief consulting physictnuto the lnvalids' Hotel and Sur- gical institute, of Buffalo. N. Y. Lu this mil: century people devote so much time to bend work that their brain in {sued and there isn't suficient blood left to properly take care of the other organs of the bodv. The stomach must be assisted in its hard workâ€"die liver started into actionâ€"by the use of 9 good stomach tonic. which should be entirely of vegetable ing‘rcufimts and without alcohol. After years of experience in an active prncticc. Dr. Pierce discovered a remedy that suited these conditions in a bloodâ€"maker and tissue-builder. He called it Dr. Piercc'n Golden Medical Discovery â€"u.n alterntsve extract that assists in the digestion and assimilation of the food in the stomachâ€"so that the blood gets what it needs for food and oxidation. the liver is at the_onme time started inns activity and there is perfect elimination of m m- fer. When the blood is pun and rich. all the organs work without effort. and the body is like a perfect machine.
