THE YOUNG BRIDE’S
FIRST DISCOVERY
Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered l.lieir new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But alas! the young bride’s troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce tha
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she go)
was a lot for her money, and it was no)
all halting powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap material* which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the ale
senee of leavening gas, it require* from
two or three times as much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it docs of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost t»
you, of cheap baking powders, ia indr*
than < laluraet would be. #
Cheap baking powders often leave th»
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet—the per
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder
ate in price, and always uniform and r*
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, maket
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

CHAPTER XIX. (Continued.)
"Not a word or a line. That
Is my answer, sir. You may
take it or leave it; but it you
leave it, some of you “hall as
certainly hang for this night's work
as this is a pistol I hold in my hand.
Now stand back, for I am coming down
amongst you. Yonder, you see, is the
boat I am expecting.
Pitting my hand, I pointed with dra
matic intent to the port quarter of the
ship.
CHAPTER XX.
The sea was void upon tne quarter—
tvhat need to tell It. But my eyes had
already detected the black outline of a
ship's boat upon the starboard bow,
and my very life depended upon the
ruse which should divert the men's at
tention from it. Never shall f doubt
the ruffians would have made an end
of it there and then, and have mur
dered me as they had murdered the
criminals upon the ship, If the argu
ment had been carried but another sen
tence. 1 had seen knives unsheathed
at my words, had heard the promptings
of rogue to rogue, that low muttering
of the human beast who has scented
prey, and whose nostrils are distend
ed hy the lust of It. Let the talk run
on, and they would be up the ladder
and upon me, cost what it might—up
and on me, and their knives at my
throat. This I understood, when I
pointed to the port quarter and sent
them gaping there in a body—as chil
dren who are not content to hear, but
with their own eyes would see.
My freedom, nay, my life depended
upon the ruse. Such a fact was clear
above all other. It had been no lie
when I said that my friends were com
ing to me. Athwart' the great ship, not
50 yards from the starboard bow, lay
the long boat which had been sent out
to me. I took one last look at the hud
dled forms below me, debated the pos
sibilities in one of those swift mental
surveys to which long habit has trained
me, and staking nil upon the venture,
risking every peril both of the men and
the sea. I leaped boldly from the
bridge and left the issue to the God
of my destinies.
So the tragic hour began for me,
and such were Its circumstances! The
rushing waters booming as a dirge in
my ears, my clothes dragging me down
as a burden Insupportable; darkness
and the dread sea all about me; a black
sky meeting my vision as I rose gasp
ing to the surface—no knowledge now
of where the boat lay or in what di
rection to strike out; no certainty that
my friends had seen me or were alive
to my situation—nothing but silence
and the long rollers carrying me, and
far away a distant shouting, an echo
of pistol shots, a rejoinder of strong
voices and then a silence, so deep, so
profound that the very wavelets were
as cataracts beating at my brain.
This,, surely, was the moment when a
man might have told himself that he
was cast out utterly from man and the
world, a true derelict of the vast ocean,
a voice crying In a. monstrous silence,
a holocaust to wind and wave and the
gaping sea. The deepest dungeon ashore
could not have inflicted a wound of
desolation so terrible.
I was there within a cable's length
of those who would have given their
very lives for me, and yet as far
away from them as though I had stood
at the foot of Mount Terror and cried
to tlie skies for my salvation. Not a
sound, not a whisper of life did the
wind bear to me. A strong swimmer, I
lay deep In the water, the spindrift
cold upon my face, the ripples of the
crest soaking my hair, the blue black
sky for my zenith. And how far had
those minutes carried me from human
ity and all human Interests!
How long it was before the end
ame, I shall never know. I recollect
that I had the sense not to swim, but
merely to keep afloat as near as might
be to the scene of my rashness. The
intervening moments brought me from
* state of content to one of despair,
and from that again almost to a state
of Insensibility—and I know only that
a great rough hand took me from the
sea at last, that white faces bent over
me, and that, kindliest of them all, was
the face of Joan Fordlbras—my little
Joan of the Valley House—who stooped
and kissed my lips, and wltii a young
girl's tears expressed the welcome by
her heart unspoken.
It had been Okyada’s hand which
dragged me from the sea, and Larry
himself had steered the boat which
discovered me. Despite the fog, that
lynxeyed captain of mine had dogged
every movement of the Diamond Ship,
and stood so close to her, throughout
the adventure, that he could sometimes
have tossed a biscuit to her decks
When the rabble chased me to the
bridge, his keen ear had detected the
commotion. He heard me leap from
the ship, and guessed Instantly the
nature of the situation which drove
me to this extremity. His express
commands had kept the long boat ir
the sea from the beginning, and in the
sea she swam when I had most need
of her.
Mowing swuuy 10 me yaont, tne mer
fought their way through the little
knot of anxious men, and hael me rub
bed down like a dog and safely in mj
own bed almost before I realised it
Whatever emotion agitated me was
chiefly the emotion of friendship, anc
of the sure knowledge that Joan For
dibras was on the ship, that she mover
and breathed near by me, and, witt
God's help, would remain my prisonei
to the end of my days. For, be assurer
that, despite old Timothy, who roarer
for the rot water and the lemons in i
voice that could have been heard ii
the truck, little Joan had taken a:
proud command of that cabin five min
utes after I entered it, as any com
mander of a ship who hoists his pen
nant at Plymouth. Nor had anyom
the right to drive her thence or to talo
that p'ace she occupied so gracefully
I suppose It would have been earl;
in the new day when Joan took charg
or me, anil old Timothy brewed th
punch and Larry came and went froti
the cabin to the bridge as a man ful
of anxieties, and yet in some sense con
tent that it should be so. These fool
lsh nurses of mine hail so far told m
nothing, nor did they hear me talkin
with equanimity. An Immersion f
the sea is often regarded by a sailoi
of all men. as a dreadful tragedy. Fei
of his trade can swim, nor does h
ever regard the water as other than a
enemy. So now Larry would hav
kept me in my bed. smothere
in blankets and dosed like a
old salt with Timothy's rum. It i
little wonder that I became almos
angry at their solicitude, and ws
ready to behave like a spoiled chil
which does not know its own good foi
tune,
"Wly do you do all this, Joan?"
asked ner. when half an hour of it ha
passed. "Am I a child to be petted an
spoiled because its pinafore is we!
Tell Captain Larry *'iat I am :»'inir
up to the bridge. You cannot suppoi
[that I shall he content to lie here now.
'Tell him I am coining up at once. It is
nonsense to make such a fuss.”
Joan shook her head as though, thus
early, she had come to despair of me.
"Only a man would talk like that,”
she exclaimed, and then—"Only a
man would be so ungrateful."
“I demur to the charge. You set a
great crowd of bullies on me to hold
me down by violence, and then talk of
Ingratitude! Do you not see, my dear
girl, that I must know what is going
on? How can I lie here when there is
so much uncertainty—when so many
things may happen? Please do as I
tell you, and let Captain Larry know
at once.”
She came and stood by my bedside,
and touching my fingers for an instant
with her own—a gesture which thrilled
me as though some strange current
of a new life burned in my veins—she
said very quietly:
^ “There is nothing happening. Dr.
Kan. If you went up to the bridge,
you would see nothing but the fog.
That is what Mr. McShanus is looking
at now—at that and the punch bowl.
We cannot see the others—we shall
never see them again. I hope.”
It was calmly said, and yet what a
tale of woo it voiced; days of her own
agony among the ruffians, intolerable
hours of suffering and distress I
thought her then one of the bravest of
women—I think so to this hour.
"Joan,” I said, "how did you come
here? Where did Okyada find you? I
have thought much about it, and I
believe that I know. But you must tell
me yourself. You hid in one of the
boats, did you not—one of the three
boats the men lowered when they
wished me to go on board their ship.
I thought it must be so. There was no
other way.”
She had seated herself by this time
in a girlish attitude at the foot of my
hunk, her feet swinging together as
though to express a sense of her indif
ference; her hands clasped, her eyes
avoiding mine as though she feared I
would read the whole truth therein.
"You wore a wizard always, Dr. Ean.
My father, that is General Fordibras,
said so—Mr. McShanus thinks it, and
so does Captain Larry. Yes. it was in
tlie last of the boats that X hid myself.
I saw them lower it, and then, when
they all got into the first two, I climb
ed down from the gangway, and hid
myself under the tarpaulin. Have you
ever been really afraid, Dr. Ean—afraid
for an instant of something which
seems to be worse than your thoughts
can Imagine? Well, I have been afraid
like that ever since Mr. Imroth took me
on the ship—afraid in a way I cannot
tell you—yes, so afraid that I would
lie for hours, and shut all sights and
sounds from my ears, and pray that the
day would find me dead. I tell you now
that you may not speak to me of it
again—I could not bear it, God knows
I could not."
For an Instant, and an instant only,
her courage failed her, and burying her
face In her hands she wept like a child.
Herein I think she gave expression to
sion to that pent-up anguish she liad so
long supported silently and alone. I
did not seek to comfort her. did not
answer a word to her piteous entreaty.
The circumstances of her rescue must,
in the end, be their own answer to her
fears, I thought.
"We will not speak of it, Joan,” I
said gently. "It was a clever thought
to hide yourself in the boat, and I
wonder it occured to you. Of course
I should have been disappointed if I
had been wrong. Directly they told
me that you were not on the ship, I
guessed that you had jumped down
into one of the neglected boats, and
that Okyada would find you there.
That is a fellow who reads my mind
more dearly than I can read it myself.
He is the true wizard. We must keep
Okyada always with us when we go
hack to the old home in England, Joan.
X would not lose him for ail the riches
on your Diamond Ship and more. Yes,
indeed, we must never part witli Oky
ada.
I »»»*> nao ociiu nun OVJIIIC IIl»iIIllIlj^,
and Joan Fordibras would have been
unworthy of the cleverness with which
I credited her. had the intent of it
failed. She understood me instantly—
I knew that It. would be so.
"I must go to Paris,” she rejoined
with a dignity inseparable from such
an answer. "General Fordibras will
be waiting for me there. I must go
to him. Dr. Kan. It was never his in
tention to send me on the ship—no, I
will do hint the Justice to say that.
They tricked me into going—Mr. Im
roth and those with him. My father
would have taken me back to America.
He promised me that the day I went
to Valley House. I believe that he was
in earnest—he has pever told me a lie.
"A point in his favor and one of the
best. Then it was Imroth who took
you away that night my friends saved
me. I should have thought of that. I
should have guessed as much.
Insensibly, you will see, I had been
leading her to tell me the whole story
of her life since we had been separat
ed at Valley House. Her determina
tion to go to Paris I found worthy of
her attitude since the beginning; her
loyalty to this arch-villain, Fordi
bras, remained amazing in its consist
ency. After all, I remembered, this
man had shown her some kindness,
and, in a sense, had acted a father’s
part toward her. I did not believe
that he had intended deliberately to
brand her with the crimes his agents
had committed. That had been lm
roth’s work—the work of a man who
was the very keystone of this stupend
ous conspiracy. I could not blame
Joan because she had the wit to see it.
“You will remember that it was after
dinner, Dr. Kan, and I had gone to my
room,” she said, replying to my ques
tion. “I had been there perhaps half
I an hour when the old servant, who used
to wait on me, came up and said that
my father was waiting for me in the
gardens. 1 ran down at once, and fol
lowed her to the mountain gate, which
the General alone made use of. There
I met the negro, who said that I must
accompany him to the observatory
i which is on the cliffs, as you know. I
1 did not suspect anything; why should
■ I? My father was often at the obser
- vatory with Mr. Imroth, and I im
? aglned that they had some good news
t for me. That was a child’s thought,
t but I am not ashamed of it. No sooner
had we passed the tunnel that; two of
the sailors ran up from the cliff road
and told us that the Genera! had gone
on board the yacht, and that I must
e follow him. It was a trick, of course,
i The yacht was waiting for me, but the
a General was not on board her. I was
s helpless in their hands, and we sailed
t that night to join the Elllda-”
a ' The Ellidal So that is the name of
d their ship. Imroth is a bit of sage, it
■ appears. Was not the Ellida the ship
of Frithjof in the fable, and did not it
i I understand every word he spoke? A

g | j,;s sagacity. He took you with him.
a [ not meaning any harm to you. but
principally to frighten me. Well, Joan,
I should not have been frightened but
It would be untrue to tell you that I
have so much sense. There are hours
when most men lose their courage. I
lost mine entirely upon the night when
they signalled a message concerning
you. If I had been somebody else, I
should have seen at once that it was
mere sound and fury, signifying noth
ing. You, I suppose, were comfortably
in your cabin sleeping meanwhile. That
is generally tho story—one of tW'O in
a frenzy of anxiety, and the other
quietly sleeping Let us say no more
about it. The circumstances will never
recur, I trust, if we live for a thousand
years—an unnecessary piece of em
phasis, young as my Joan is.”
I had brought a smile to her face
now, and she began to tell me many
things about Imroth's ship which other
wise, I am convinced, w'ould never have
been told at all. There were thirty-two
so-called passengers on board, she
said, eleven of them women—and a
crew, as she heard, of fifty hands. The
smallness of this did not surprise me.
Here was a ship which rarely went into
port, a great hulk floating in the waste
of the Atlantic—what need had she of
men? The fellows idled about the deck
all day, as Joan confessed, and at night
there were scenes passing all words to
describe.
"We lived as you live in the great
hotels in Ijondon. Ships came to us
frequently from England and America,
and supplied us with all that was nec
essary. Mr. Imroth rarely saw anyone*
but the others played cards all day,
with the men. When he came on
quarreled. Then at night all the cabins
would be lighted up, and there would
be dancing and singing and dreadful
scenes until daybreak While Mr. Im
roth was on the ship, I saw very little
of it at all. He made me keep my
cabin, and he was right to do so. When
he left us, It was very different. 1
remember that a young Russian fell in
love with me the first day I went or.
deck—there were others of whom I
cannot speak, and moments I shall
never forget. Mr. Ross was very kind
but he had not Mr. Imroth’s influence
with the men. When he came on
board, Mr. Imroth sailed for the
Brazils, and the mutiny began. Some
of the men wished to go ashore; there
were others who would have waited
for their companions who were coming
out from Europe on a relief ship. Then
one night the alarm was given that
your yacht had arrived and was watch
ing us, Mr. Imroth had told the men
all about you, and when you wers
sighted, I believe they thought that
there wore other ships with you and that
their end had come. From that night
it was was one long scene of terror and
bloodshed. I lived—I cannot tell you
of it, Dr. Ean; you would never be
lieve what I have seen and heard.”
CHAPTER XXI.
I suppose that I slept a few hours at
the dead of night; but certainly I was
awake again shortly after the nun had
risen, and up on the bridge with Larry,
as curious a man as any in the Southern
hemisphere that morning. Remembet
in what a situation I had left the
Diamond Ship, the problems that re
mained unsolved upon her decks, the
distress of her crew, the trials and
judgments that awaited them ashore,
the sure death prepared for them upbn
the high seas. Had we any longer &
duty toward the honest men yonder—
if honest men there could by any pos
sibility be; or did other claims call us
imperiously back to England and our
homes, to tell the story where all the
world might hear it? These were the
questions that Larry and I discussed
together, as we stood on the bridge
that sunny morning.
And the logic of his case was, I
suppose, unanswerable.
"Doctor,” he said, “if your brother
lay dying, would you call first upon
him or the son of your neighbor who
hail hurt himself running away from
the police? You ask me where our
duty lies, and I’ll tell you in a word
It lies to Miss Joan first of all—to see
that the shadow of this trouble nevei

after that, it is a duty to the brave mer.
who have served you so well, lo them
and their homes and those that are
dear to them. Yonder ship is as well
off as we are, and in many ways better
She is now in the track of mail
steamers bound to the Argentine, and

board her again, they will cut your
throat for a certainty, and try to board
us when that is done. Leave them to
the justice of almighty God. Their
destiny is In other hands. That is
wisdom and duty together.”

rious sources of pollution are Indicated
and suggestions are given for means
of protection.
“Typhoid fever rates are usually
greater in the country than in cities,
despite the prevailing belief that
farms, isolated as they are from areas
of congested population, are ideally
situated for obtaining pure and whole
some water.
"Failure to protect adequately tbs
wells in farming districts is given In
the survey’s report as the most eorr«»
mon reason for their pollution, and is*
noraneo of the manner in which ground
water circulates Is the cause of th*
faulty protection. Chemical analysis !»
not fated high by Mr. Fuller as a
means of detecting polluted water, fox
he asserts that a careful common
sense inspection of the district is us
ually much more to the point.
"Sources of pollution in the vicinity
of a well or spring should be noted
wherever possible, and drinking water
should not be drawn except at a safe
distance from them. The distance re
quired for absolute safety varies great
ly with the character of the rock. For
wells sunk In sandstone, s’.ate, and
shale, 100 feet may be sufficient; where
the surface stratum Is composed of
fine sand, 200 feet should be allowed;
and where it Is limestone or granite
much greater distances will be neces
sary. Water may run polluted in
limestone for miles, so that wells In
regions where limestone makes up the
greater part of the surface rock should
be carefully examined after rains for
mud and floating matter, for these are
pretty sure indications of pollution.
"For protecting wells, springs, and
cisterns Mr. Fuller advocates, first of
all a water-tight lining to keep out
surface water. Wells and springs
i should always be covered and protect
' c-d from animals, dust, and falling
■ loaves. Watering troughs should al
i ways be located a safe distance away,
though the custom prevails in country
I districts of having well and trough
I side by side.

grew worse. I
had an Incessant cough and frequenl
attacks of bilious colic, from which ltt
eeemed I could not recover. My bowels
also became affected, causing alarming
attacks of hemorrhages. I tried many
remedies, which gave only temporary
relief or no relief at all. I at last tried
Peruna, and In three days I was re

using five bottles I was entirely cured,
t most cheerfully recommend the use of
Peruna to any one similarly afflicted."
