hiiw opeiilns thus attained there came
whistling a blast so frigid as to drive
is hcadlou?; back, jraspini; for breath.
Cold as It was without there on the
open deck, that cabin revealed a tem
perature so awful in intensity as to
make s recoil before it. our hands to
our faces. A hundred years of win
ter the black eternal winter of the
south pole smote tis with icy breath,

ins llko .1 baby. It was several min
utes before we could even draw near
enough to hack away more of the ice
and. with the ax. drive the door far
ther back into its grooves.
It was intensely dark within, every
window and porthole shrouded, only
the narrow door-openine; permitting
the slisht plimmer of the moon to
touch the edpe of the black interior.
I wrapped my mulller to the very eyes,
and stepped across the threshold, feel
tnc; as if the icy air prasped me with
tctual lingers, yet resolute to learn
all. and confident no other there would
ever venture it. 1 touched an over
turned bench with my knee; my fin--:ers
explored the back of a heavy
chair having a carven top. and then
came into contact with a bare table,
heavily ridged along the edge. Seem
ingly this stood crossways of the cab
in; and I felt cautiously along it. a
deeper cowardice gripping me with
every hesitating step forward in the
dark. Suddenly I touched hair and
tho gelid coldness of frozen flesh, and
as instantly leaped backward, mad
with nameless terror. The overturned
bench tripped me. and 1 fell, grasping
nl the door casements, and thus
dragged myself out of t".iat hell-hole by
:nv arms.
CHAPTER XXIV.
In Which I Explore th- Cabin.
He Nova assisted me to my feet, the
other men crowding about, their faces
tilled, with wonderment. "For God's
r.ake. Wat is it, monsieur?"
"There are dead men in there." I ex
plained, already ashamed of my display
of terror. "I I touched one in the
dark."
They drew back from the open
door, gazing with new horror into the
blackness of the interior; but my own
courage was rapidly returning, as I
realized that I must lead and control.
"Well, lads, it startled me. all right,
but we cannot afford to give up this
ehip to dead men. Do Nova, take
Kelly with you. and try to discover
something on board with which to
make a flare. There ought to be plenty
of dry stuff in the galley. Not a word
to the women about what I found aft-"

and Courage
they were gone, at the Ice concealing!
the front window shutters, and partly
uncovered one. Hut we could get no
purchase upon it from the outside and
no one volunteered to venture within.
I kept them all busy, however, the
hard work and sense of command
combining to restore my own nerves
to a norm'al condition. The mate de
spairing of doing better, finally
brought back a table-leg of pitch pine
which we contrived to Ignite after
several unsuccessful experiments, the
yellowish-red flames circling the heavy
end like so many coiling serpents, and
sending forth a weird reflection
through spirals of black smoke. It
was a poor glim enough, yet It would
serve; and I bore it inside, holding the
torch well before me. the men clus
tering about the door.
The mottled flare cast mingled light
ami shadow over the horrors thus
dimly revealed, rendering the ghastly
sight one to chill the blood of any
man. The cabin was a long one, ex
tending aft clear to the stern, the
immense butt of the mizzen-mast al
most separating it into two apart
ments. About this was arranged a
great arm-rack completely filled with
a variety of weapons, many of them
flashing back the glittering rays of the
torch. At one time that had been
a rare sea parlor, but now it was a
wreck, the walls and ceiling dingy
with smoke, the gilt defaced and bat
tered. Overturned furniture was every
where; piles of clothing, and a perfect
riffraff of articles strewed the deck
floor; a violin lay almost at my feet,
all but one btring snap ed; and some
sort of an odd mui:Ic-box rested
against the bench over which I had
fallen. A great square box-stove
stood just before the mast-butt, a huge
pile of ashes all about. An immense
lantern, as .strange a looking contriv
ance as eer 1 saw, swung solemnly
from a deck-beam, and just beyond,
suspended by wires, was a gorgeously
colored picture of the "Madonna and
Child."
I beheld all these details a' a glance,
although at the time I scarcely realized
any of them, my entire horrified atten
tion being riveted upon the scene of
death revealed. The trble, which I
had previously touched, extending
crossways of the cabin, was uncovered
but containeJ plates, cups, a large
bottle half-tilled, and some scraps of
frozen food. The bodies of two men.
one with a cloak over his shoulders,
occupied the bench within three feet
of me. The one nearest had fallen
sideways, and hung there, his arm
hooked across the back of the bench,
his long, black hair dangling over his
face: the other sat with head bowed
on the table, his features hidden by
his arms, but the gold rings in his
ears plainly showing. Directly oppo
site these two. sitting belt upright in
a chair, eyes wide open, staring
straight at me. was a third. My God!
it was De Nova! The same eyes, the
same dark curly hair, the same little
black mustache, the sarao smile
curling the thin lips. I could have
sworn it was the mate, endeavoring to
frighten and mock me. I even
wheeled about angrily, flashing the
light of my torch over that cluster of
faces in the doorway. No! by heavens,
the creole stood behind, and this, this
counterpart, was a dead man dead
for a hundred years. No words can
ever retell the struggle I made to con
trol myself, the smoking torch sha
king in my hand and casting Its mis
erable flicker over that charnel house,
every limb trembling like aspens, my
eyes staring into the shadows. My
very violence of fear angered me;
what bad I to be afraid of? How

could these poor frozen bodies injure
mo? Nerved to the endeavor I stepped
fmward around the end of the table,
throwing the faint glare of the torch
into the after space concealed by the
huge nast-butt. A tall, thin man sat
on the deck, braced against the wall,
his long, gray beard almost concealing
his face: en a wide divan, nearly op
posite, lay a woman, her dark hair
loosem-d. a large diamond glittering
on the hand which hung rigid over the
edge f the couch. Just below her
finsers. as If dropped there in final
v.sak:iets, lay a baby's well-worn
shoe.
I pcarcely comprehend how I ever
conquered the sickly horror that smote
ne as I gazed about upon this scene
of death, rendered even more terrible
by the silence and the flickering,
smoking torch that furnished the only
light. Nothing except the sense of
command, the remembrance of those
women waiting outside in the cook's
galley, ever afforded me strength and
courage to remain. The task roust
be done; by some one it must be ac
complished, and that some one. of ne
cessity, was myself. With clenched
It eth, r.iv face as white as those of the
frozen ce-.d about me, I advanced from
door to door down one side of that
cabin, and up the other. Out from the
staterooms that had remained closed
there came the same awful breath of
the frigii! south, rendering even the
icy air of tho main cabin ten times
colder, and causing me to breathe
with rirflicully as I peered hastily
within. These staterooms were all of
fair size, the two situated farthest aft
1 ring unusually large and comfortably
fitted, although in great disorder. In
one only did I discover a body, that
of a child of three or four years, flaxen-haired
and bonny even in death.
Upon the deck at the foot of the mast
I discovered the vessel's log-book ly
ing wide open, a quill pen beside it,
exactly as It had been dropped. I did
not take time to decipher the Spanish,
inscribed in a scrawling hand, but my
glance caught the date of that last
entry "September 11. 17o3."
The date rang In my head crazily. as
I stood there staring at them, totally
unable to grasp or apprehend the
truth. One hundred and twenty-six
j ears! Merciful God! And all that
time those men had been there at that
table: all through those days and
nightc, those months and years, that
frozen image of De Nova had been
smiling, his cold fingers clutching the
glass; all through those decades that
loraan had been lying on the couch,
that flaxen-haired baby in tho bunk!

HAD HER LIKES
Woman's Tastes Not Satisfied with 1
What Was "Good for Her. "
A young society matron who gives
one day a week to philanthropic work
undertook a class for training mothers
under my direction. In reality it was
a class In cooking, for the young ma
tron is an enthusiast upon proper com
binations of wholesome food. The
women came and listened, and then I
suggested that the homes should be

changes the world had witnessed
since these died! What wonders of
discovery; what growth In faith;
what widening of human knowledge:
what generations of men and women
had been born, lived, loved, and died
since the deadly Ice locked these Into
this floating tomb!
Not until after I had explored the
last empty room and returned to the
group at the door did I regain my
senses and feel myself again a living,
responsible being upon whoso strength
of will depended the future of all on
board. A glance Into those horrified
faces told me Instantly that they were
ready for a mad retreat to the boat;
that tho slightest exhibition of weak
ness on my part would set them into
a panic. I stiffened into resistance, all
memory of the past blotted out utter
ly by the demands of the present.
"Men, we've come Into a hard job
here, but it Is ono which must be at

we'll wait until after breakfast before
tackling the worst of it Day Is be
ginning now. and we will need all the
light It gives us. Dade, get out some
provisions from the boat, start a fire
in the galley, and prepare a hot meal.
Sanchez, go along and help; you will
probably have to cut away some Ice
before the fire will draw. Not a word
to the women about what yon have
seen aft. my lads."
The two started forward willingly
enough, and I Immediately turned to
the others, marking their uneasy
glances, and fully assured that I must
keep them also busily employed, or
else lose control altogether.
"We have too much to accomplish
here to waste any time while those
fellows are getting a meal ready," I
continued, quickly. "McKnight, you
tackle these front shutters. Kelly,
climb up on the poop and dig the Ice
off tho skylight and out of the funnel.
We've got to have daylight and a fire.
Now, De Nova, I want you and John
son to help me. Come on. men; what
are you two afraid of? These are all
dead."
I fairly drove them to It. but it did
them both good, although the manner
in which they advanced down the
cabin, their faces blanched under the
torch glare, their bodies shaking a3
with ague, made me nervous and irri

Pat BroKe the News.
Pat had been delegated by his fel
low employes to tell Mrs. Casey the
news of her husband's accidental
death. On the way to the Casey home.
Pat pondered on how to break the
news to the widow. Finally he hit
on what to him seemed a most hu
mane way of preparing Mrs. Casey for
the sad news.
Knowing the violent hatred which
Mrs. Casey as well as all loyal Irish
men have for the A. P. A., he said on
greeting the woman:
"Ah. Mrs. Casey, it Is bad ncw3 I

When Making A Valance
t One Woman's Idea That May Be
Copied and Afford Satisfaction
to Others.
The chief difficulty In making a
valance, so much in favor for old
fashioned beds. Is to keep it in place
without putting tacks into the furni
ture, or having it on narrow strips,
that pull out from under the mattress.
One woman has bit upon the plan
of having heavy, unbleached sheeting
cut just the size of the bed, or a lit
tle within the line of the sides. This
sheeting is shrunk before being used.
The valance is sewed to it on each
side, and across the end if the bed i3
a four poster. The cover is then
spread over the springs and under the
mattress, which holds it firmly in
place.
If the valance Is of thin material
that needs frequent washing it is a
good idea to put the valance into a
narrow band, provided with button
boles at Intervals close enough to pre

freshness is much moro attractive
than elaborate trimmings on waists,
which will not bear constant washing.

AVOID HASIT OF SLOUCHING
Really Is a Fault That May Easily Be
Overcome by the Exercise of
Will Power.
Slouching is nothing mtt negligence,
and displays a lack of self-control.
Don't give way to it. but see if a
little energy won't overcome It. It
may seem but a trifle to you, but not
to others. These will not be as le
nient in judging your slouching habit,
and not only will criticize it severely
but may eventually form an entirely
wrong opinion of you.
The stooping position of the back
and shoulders is not only far from
beautiful, but highly insanitary, se
verely handicapping the respiration
and preventing all the internal organs
from performing their duties properly.
The habit of letting the shoulders
droop and the back stoop may have
been acquired by rapid growth, or by
overzealous study, but whatever the
cause it should be mended as speed
ily as possible.
Let the arms hang freely at the
sides. Don't fold your hands in front
of you, and train yourself to walk
with free, long strides, instead of hop
ping or waddling, as so many women
j do. and, above all. sec to it that the
poise of your head Is correct, well
thrown back. Instead of being a half a
mile In advance of your body. Then
it is easy to adjust the bat firmly and
keep It so, and It will not be awry.
As In everything else, the secret ol
success lies chiefly in a firm, deter
mined will to overcome the difficulty,
paying no heed to discouraging fail
ures In one's efforts, which are bound
to occur when one first commences to
break with the slouching habit.
Complete White Costume.
As a complete white outfit for a girl
make the dress of soft white em
broidery and the girdle of soft white
taffeta and small bows at the left
iront side. Provide a large sailor hat
or white chip, trimmed with large
bows of white taffeta ribbon. If the
hat is turned up at one side or the
back, use a single bow. sufficiently
large to cover the brim at that point
and drape the crown with ribbon
folds. White silk gloves, white lisle
hose and white cravenette shoes
should be added. Hut the parasol
may be rose, grout or tan.
vent sagging. Buttons are sewed tc

Rings Worn Openly.
Some women are wearing on the lit
tle finger of their left hand diamond
marquise rings, from which are sus
pended diminutive tassels of diamonds
and pearls. As it is now permissible
for gloves to be carried instead of
worn with evening dress a golden op
portunity is afforded for the display
of beautiful rings. The possessors of
old rings are ransacking their jewel
cases for these covetable objects and
having them reset in accordance with
the exigencies of fashion, a barbaric
effect being Introduced. From 10 to
15 rings are often worn on one band.
Curtains of cross-bar muslin are ex
tremely pretty when stenciled with s
border across the ends or ends and
sides.

When Her Faith in ths Lord Falleft.
During the progress of a big "pro
tracted meeting," for which the soutk
is famous, an ardent sister of th
church, who usually came in an old
fashioned buckboard drawn by the
family horse, was late for a particular
ly important service and was beias
severely censured by the pastor.
Explaining the reason for being late
the good sister said that the horse
had taken fright at a passing traia
and bolted and that the wreck of the
rig had prevented her from being oa
time.
"My dear sister, such little things
should not make you late for divine
services. You should trust in tha
Lord."
"Well, brother," she replied, and
there was a look of calm peacefulness
on her face. "I did trust in the Lord
till the bellyband busted and then I
had to jump." Pittsburg Chronicle

"Best is best, and best will ever
live." When a person feels this way

testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss,
says : "I had been a coffee drinker since
my childhood, and the last few years
it had Injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that I could scarcely go
through with the day's duties, and
this iiervoubncss was often accom
panied by deep depression of spirits
and heart palpitation.
"I am a teacher by profession, and
when under the Inlluence of coffee
had to struggle against crossness
when in the school room.
"When talking this over with my
physician, he suggested that I try
Postum, so I purchased a package and
made it carefully according to direc
tions; found it excellent of flavor, and
nourishing.
"!n a short time I noticed very grati
fying effects. My nervousness disap
peared, I was not irritated by my pu
pils, life seemed full of sunshine, and
my heart troubled me no longer.
"I attribute my change in health and
spirits- to Postum alone."
