got too nice to take care of their health in gwomaniy way. Women now-a-days snf- fer untold tortures in silence, because of weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism, rather than consult ¢ physician, or even talk upon the subject tc their own husbands. They imagine that troubles of this description can only be cured by undergoing the disgusting exam- inations and local treatment insisted upon by the average modern physician. Doctor

Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all dis- eases peculiar to women in the privacy of their own homes. It does away with the necessity for examinations and local treat- ment. It acts directly on the important organs concerned, making them strong, healthy and vigorous. It fits for wifehood and the burdens of household duties. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It tomes and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discomforts of the time of expectancy and makes baby’s ad- vent easy and almost painless, Thousands have testified to its merits.

SYNOPSIS.

Peter Clephane and Andrew Kilgour are cousins, students at Edinburg University, between whom is a better fued. The former is the son of a rich city lawrer and his cousin is the heir of an estate ia the Highlands that has almost, paseed into the ‘ands of creditors. Afier a bitter fizht with his cousin, Kilgour is on his wavy bome when he falls in with company at the

“Hound and Stag” inn at Perth. Arrived home his companion on tie journey turns ont to be his uncle, Peter Clephane’s father. To retrive his familie’ fortune Andrew is

| sent te | d a. Inkfititaneolis!l¥ fhere was a creat crash, as if a sudden blow had rent

our timbers, and the brig flew up at the bows

like a fisherman’s punt when a heavy weight is swung on behind. I had my sconce dented in the bunk,

and Mr. Watson swept the floor with

his back like a kind of incontinent besom. When in the rebound the stern went up in turn, I fell back to

my place breathless and helpless, and

the supercargo, scrambling to his feet With the cat-like agility of a _ sailor made desperately for the companion- Way.

Then for an instant the vessel seem- ed to lie still, but the next she was reeling and dancing like an eggshell in a boiling caldron. Now she would rear from the bows, now from the stern, then tumble on her beam ends,

careening till mast and keel must have been level, then rebound, then spring, shaking herself like a thing demented with pain, and all the while she cried and groaned in every timber with a terrorizing, human-like sense of the Ypangs of dissolution. I clung to my unk with all my feeble might, unable ta discern anything clearly, yet con- scious in spite of darkness and terror of the swish of water rushing through the open door,

After awhile Mr. Watson came back. Tiflis face was very white and his man- ner excited. I looked at him beseech- ingly for news, for in the tumult I could not hope to make myself heard. He did not keep me long in suspense.

“Smashed by the stern !” he shout- ei, at the vitch of his voice, bending over me as he held on by the side of niy berth. ‘“ The spout hit us, carry- ing with it masts and rigging, and now we're reeling in the grip of a tor- nado, The fury of the pit’s let loose

or us. Wind and fire and water, all contending against us. And, worse than that, we're waterlogged and the in- ternal crew threatening to take to the boats. Captain’s keeping them at it With the pistol. Keep you still; I'll

come back again.”’ { could say nothing, I could do noth-

ing, only lie and iisten to the raging ef pandemonium and sveculate what would come of it all. Presently Mr. Watson returned, his face whiter than ever.

The hbrig’s done for,” he shouted.

The first blow killed her. It’s ter- rific, I have been through simoon and tornado and never saw. anything like this. They’re going te batten down, though aven knows why. I must run, But don’t vou be frighten- ed: T'll not desert yeou.”’

Fie bolted up the companionway, and the hatches closed with a bang.

I passed am eternity hearkening in the darkness, which the lightning made Jurid, expecting every moment to feel the sction and hear the xzur- zle of death as the ship went down. But we were dying hard

by and by J n to think the fury

of the temnest wus abating and that the movements of the brig were stead- fer Then I wondered why they w Keeping m losed down there like a yat in its hole. Another eternitv vass- ed cre there was anv evide: that I Las rerrembered. At !ast the hatchs were thrown open, and [ looked with joy fil nd frantic eagefness for Mrz Watson.

A terrible fear. a terrible suspicion struck into my vitals, and weak as I was I rose, and groping my way threugh the darkness to a porthole thrust my face against the glass. Ther were boats alongside, and the off and wrew, who looked li} demons in the livid light, were struggling und fighting to get into them. With the frenzy of death, twisting and tuggins and tearing, I tried to open the port but the screws were stiff and ! fneers nerveless, and [ fi iled. Then mv face aguinst class, I shrieked as on'y a lost mar can. The next in- stant the glass was in shivers, an I was imploring these without not to ahbanclon ime But the tempest drown- ed my voice.

By the glare of streaming fires I could wateh the boats drivirg deliri- ously before the wind, which still blew with hurricane force. To any eve but the of de-

lish lividness in the swirling chasme eri shettering crests.

The din was as the crack of dovum. Sea and thunder crashed together as if the universe were splitting ind rending, the wicked treble of the tempest breaking in at times like the etiteful screams o2 congregated de- mons exulting in the work of destruc-

tion. The waves, in certain aspects bleod and red, and dripping a crim- son froth, reared and curled ‘the wonstrous snakes as they rushed,

1g, upon the helpless and stag-

tram pli1

eering brig. They seemed alive and mad with a passion to destroy. Leap- ing upon their victim like the furies

broken loose, they would pound her as

with steam hammers, then catch her and throw her aloft as if to see her go tc pieces in the fall: then, disap- pointed at her toughness, hurl her headlong into a boiling gulf, and as she floundered heavily fling themselves afresh unon her in a frenzied effort to put her forever cut of sight. Then there would be a swift recoil and a momentary pause, but only hbe- cause the infuriated waters were ath- ering for a fiercer and deadlier at- tack. Rallying in piled up, seething masses, on they would come again in

\V'reathed and yeasty avalanches, bury- ing her deep and crushing and tearing her timbers till she groaned and cried

l:ke a thing in the last agony. How she lived was a marvel. A right

good sailer she must have been in spite of her ugly looks and evil name, tighter sailer than many a>-craft a prouder head and a tion.

Smothered and pelted ‘and tossed, only the tenseness of grip which the fear of death gives to nerve and mus- cle could have held me in my place. As often as { had vent I shrieked in competition with the storm—shrieked till my voice failed me, and my cry Sank to the hoarse, gasping rattle that {cre chest and throat as barbed cylinders revolved inside.

My situation was the more cruel that I had strength enough to feel, and none to act. Had I been myself, I should have been on deck in an in- Stant, and headlong into the surging Wilderness in pursuit of the desert- ers. My fate would have been soon decided, for the swimmer did not ex- ist who could that night have escaped the devouring maw of the sea. But there would have been an instant’s di- version in battling and a speedy end

a with better reputa-

lo suffering. As it was, even the solace of making an effort was denied me,

So I stood there with my head crushed into the porthole dg cf the broken like in my flesh, battered, buffeted, choked by the pitching ship and the breaching seas, yet frantically straining to hold on and to hail the quickly vanishing
