Thera were no means of earajw for tt In that (uartor, aud the ang-l at wtiUb the Kansas Isy would permit a deptb of at least tw ret to accumulate era tha water began to flow out through tha door to the starboard. At tha great crises of exlstenc tba stream of thought Is apt to form strange eddies. Courtenay when tba ship slruck-snd It was possible that each seroud might register hla last conscious Ituprettslon found himself coolly reviewing varloua explanationa of the existence of an uncharted shoal In a locality situate many miles from tho known danger tone. Elsie, strung half consciously to tba highest tension by the affrighting probability of being set adrift in a small boat at tbe jmercy of the sea roaring wltbout a aea which pounded tbe steel bull of the Kansas wltb such force that tbe great ship seemed to flinch from each blow like a creature In pain-EIsle, then, faced by aucb an Intolerable prospect, was a prey to real anxiety because tbe wearing apparel scattered by Courtenay on tbe floor was becom Ing soaked In brine. t$he actually stooped to rescue a coat which wa not yet aaturated beyond redemption. Aa she lifted tbe gar ment a packet of letters tied with tape fell from Its folds. She placed tbe coat on the writing table and en deavored to stuff the letter Into a pigeonhole. They were too bulky, eo she laid them on the coat. In doing this she could not avoid seeing the words, "Your loving sister, Madge," written on the outer fold of the last letter In the bundle. And that brought a memory of ber previous visit to the captaln'a state room. She was Incapable of reasoned reflection. She felt that If she were fated to live to. a ripe old age she would never forget a single detail of the furniture and decorations of tbe room. She would hear forever the do lorous howling of the gale, tbe thump ing of tbe waves against the quivering plate, tbe rapid, methodic thud of the nkey engine, which, long since de urted by Ita cowardly attendant, was faithfully doing Ita work and flooding the ablp with electric light Not thinking In the least what abe was doing, the acrutlnzed tbe elosely Bed packet She wondered Idly why be treasured so many missives. Each nd every one, oddly enough, wa written On differently sized and varl ausly colored note paper, and It could be seen at a glance that they were from as many different people. The outside letter was tbe most clearly vis ible. Miss Courtenay wrote a well formed, flowing band. If handwriting were a clew to character she wa a candid, generous, open minded woman. Uut what was this? Elsie suddenly threw down the letters. Bha bad read a sentence at tbe top of tbe page twice before she actually grasped Its pur port When Its significance dawned on her abe flushed violently, for this was what she read: "I am glad of It too, because under no other circumstances would I wish to greet and embrace the woman des tlned to be your wife. The knowledge that abe bad Involun tarily Intruded on Captain Courtenay'a private affair brought ber back wltb certain slight (hock to a sense of actualities. Tbe storm, the horrible danger she wa In, emerged from shad' owland. Why bad be not come for berT Surely there must bav been some further mishap! I lea vena I Was she alone on tbe ship, alone wltb tbe dead men and tbe dying vessel? Iter bead swsin with a strange raininess, and she placed a band to ber eye. Then Joey sprang In through tha doorway and, wltb that splendid disre gard for sentiment displayed by a fox terrier that baa Just come out of a Oret rate tight shook bis harness on til It rattled. But be eyed tbe Inrush of tbe sea wltb much disfavor, so be leaped up on tbe table beside Elsie and looked at ber as though be would ask wby she bad erni!ttcd this sacrilege. Though the dog wa apparently on acatbed and In the beat of condition. bl bead and fore paw were blood stained. Ill advent dispelled the mist wblcb wss gathering tn tbe girl's brain. 8be feared s tragedy, yet Joey assuredly would not be so cheerful, so daintily deslron to avoid tbe splash ing water In tbe cabin if hla master were Injured. Tbe mere presence of tbe dog waa a guarantee that Courte nay bad not quitted the ship. "Oh, Joey," she said, "I wlah you could apeak T The sound of ber own role (tattled ber. Eh wa yielding to nervousness sgaln and was on the point of ventur ing out t least ss far as the deck bouse ran, to see If sb eoald distin guish what waa taking place oa the after part of tbe vessel, wben Dr. Cbrtstobal entered. "I suppose yoo thought you were for gotten?" be cried, with a pleasant smile, for Cbrtstobal would bare a smile for s wo to in eveo on bis death bed. "There, now, don't try to ex plain your feeling. Ton have had a very trying time, and I want yon to oblige me by drinking this." "This" waa a glaae champagne which be hurriedly poured out of a small bottle be was carrying Into a I glass which be produced from a i pocket Tbe mere sight of the wtoe I raosrd Elate to reauae that Iter tlpa and palate were on fire with salt At j one laooaeat ah had not the slightest j eugulunce of ber suffering At tbe neit aba felt that oca waa Impossi ble until she drank. Never before bed rTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTS 1 "Ah, that la better," aaid tbe doctor. "Now, If you don't mind, we ahall have tbe door closed." Wltb peace suddenly restored to the room and ber faculties helped more than sbe suspected. Elsie hegnu tn wonder what had bapfieued. "Where are the others." ahe asked, "and why ara you taking things so coolly? Captain Courtenay said" "Captain Courtenay aald exactly what be meant But circumstances proved too strong for blm. We shall not be able to leave tbe ablp Just yet" "Can't they lower any of tba boatar "Most decidedly. Two boats have been goue some time. I Imagined yon knew that. Did not the captain tell your Elsie felt that her eompanlou' glib tone was artificial. Something bad oc curred wblcb be wa keeping from ber. tine believed that be bad gone to the ilon to procure tbe wine so tbat ahe might have what men called Dutch courage wben bad news esme. 'I have not exchanged a dosen words with the captain since you refused my help In tbe fore eabln," sbe ssld, "tie bad other matters to attend to tnan explaining the progress of event me. Wby cannot you trust me? shall not scream nor faint nor binder you In your work. I ask you again, where s re the others?" 'You mean Mis Baring and Mrs. Somervtller "Ye." "If tbey are living, they are far enough away by tbl time. Wben tbelr boat was lowered It wss cast off pre maturely" "Purposely?" "Well, ye. Courtenay bad Just plac 1 i suppose you thought vou u'er or- gottent" he cried. d Miss Baring's maid on board wben some of the crew let go tbe ropes. What could we do? We were forced to depend on them." "Is there no other boat?" Chrlstobal threw out bis bands In bis characteristic gesture. He was so emphatic tbat be spilled some of the wine. "You take It bravely," ne said. "I may as well give you the whole story. Tbe first host lowered was lost through the men's own bungling, the captain ssys. Then there was a des perate fight for tbe three remaining craft Most of the officers were killed. Courtenay got a few of us together when Isobel snd Mrs. Somervllle Join ed you here, snd we beld off such of the madmen as tried to seize tbe jolly boat Tbey managed to lower two life boats, but between murder and panic not half of tbe crew escaped In tbat way. Four men who were left behind promised obedience, and Malcolm, tba steward, was placed in charge, with Mr. Gray a second In command. One of the engineers, acting on tbe cap tain's orders, brought a can of oil from tba engine room and threw It over tba side In bandfuls. Tbe result wss magical. We lowered tbe boat easily, placed M. d rolnelllt on board because he was worse than the wo men, snd then Courtenay, ss you know, brought Isobel, the minister wife. who refused to go without ber hus band, and tbe maid. There wa room for you and another, ao, at the cap tain' request Tollemacbe and I toss ed for the vacancy. Meanwhile Courte nay bad turned to go for you wben we beard a about from Gray. Two of tbe Chilean bad cait off tbe rope which kept the boat alongside. Gray, who was fending ber from tbe ship with tbe boat book, Jabbed one fel low In the face with It but be was too late. Tbe boat raced off Into tbe darkness. And here we are!" That Chrlstobal left several things unsaid Elsie knew qnlte well. It dawned on the girl that both ber elder ly friend and she herself were accept ing aa extraordinary situation wltb re markable nonchalance. How many of us remain on tbe ship?" sbe asked. Very few-oa tbe effective list The captain, as engineer whose cams I do Dot know, Mr. Tollemeeb and oar selves make op the total."

I thought it wisest to obey orders. The captain told me to bring you some wine and remain with you here. It will not be for long." "Why do you say that?" "The ship appears to be lodged hard snd fast on s reef or sand spit I am told tbe tide Is rising. If that Is so, our only hope Is In the raft which our three elites are now constructing. With a falling tide we might have a bren th ing spare at low water. Aa It Is, well"-. ne was Interrupted by the opening of tbe door snd tbe consequent roar of tbe gale. It waa Walker, tha engi neer, a lank, swarthy man, with a long black mustache which drooped for lornly down the sides of bis mouth. He shouted wltb tbe Inimitable sccent of Tyneslde: "Yo wanted, Docto' Cbwlstobal. Tbe captain thinks Mr. Boyle la bettaw." "May 1 come, too?" asked Elsie. "No, mlssle. You bide he aw." "Please tell me before you go If the ship 1 fullbpf water." "She dwy as a bone," said Walker. A sea splashed over blm and sent a shower into the cabin, "a vewy wet bone," be added, with a broad grin. for the Northumbrian bad a ready wit though be bad such a solemn jowl, snd be could not pronounce an "r" to save bis life. So Elsie was left with Joey for com pany once more. A chronometer blow- ed that tbe hour was past midnight. Sbe knew sufficient of the sea to un derstand that the clock was probably accurate, as the course bad practically followed tbe same, meridian since the Kansas quitted Valparaiso. So the ship snd those left on board bad en tered on another day. How little she bad thought that to be possible wben the awful knowledge first came to her that the Kansas was ashore! How long sgo was tbat? Then sbe remem bered tbat when Courtenay placed ber In his cabin with tbe promise to bring Isobel to ber sbe bad noticed tbe time, 11 o'clock. Was It conceivable that only one hour bad elapsed since sbe and her four footed friend were flun all of a heap Into a corner by tbe Im pact of the vessel against the sand nank 7 one noun surely there was some mistake. Sbe puzzled over tbe problem, recounting each event since the conclusion of dinner, and finally convinced herself that her recollection waa not at fault Joey was becoming restless. He danced backward and forward on the table, where be had taken refuge from tbe Invading flood. Indeed, tbe dog knew long before Elsie tbat the Kan las wa afloat again. At last sbe no ticed that the wster In the cabin was gurgling to snd fro, snd In the same Instant sbe felt the regular swing of tbe moving ship. She was speculating on the outcome of this new condition of affairs wben the door opened snd Wslker thrust bis lantern Jawed face within. He grinned cheerfully. I've com to fetch you to yo' cabin. miss," be announced. "Tbe ahlp'a un der weigh, an' a yo pwobably am winging wet tbe captain ys yo" ought to cbsnge yo clo'es." Joey followed ber out but deserted ber Instantly. She saw the reason when Walker helped ber to reach tbe bridge companion. Courtenay waa In the chart bouse at tbe wheel. He gave ber a friendly nod ss sbe passed. Somehow Elsie felt safe now tbat tb ship wa In tb captain' band again. en A ITE It VII. KER wa about to take ber to tb aalon. whence an Inner atalrcase communicat ed wltb the principal state rooms, but abe kuv that the door leading to tbe prtnBsde deck bsd been left unlocked, so sbe signaled blm to lead ber tbe speediest wsy. Speak sbe could not Although there was s perceptible Improvement in tb weath er, Elsie found tbe wind even harder to combat than when sbe traversed tbe deck with Courtenay. This apparent contradiction arose from tbe fact that during tbelr early dealing with the boats the ssilon bsd rut away the greater part of tb canvas shield rig ged to protect passengers from sdren-: figoag sea. Nevertheless, all flustered aud breath less as she was, she beld Walker back wben he would have left ber In tbe shelter of ber cabin. "Do spare me one moment," she pleaded. "When I have put on dry clothing, what am I to do? Where am I to to go? I will do anything rather than remain nlone." Walker Jammed himself In the door way to break the violence of tbe un ceasing doluge of spray. "Well, mlssle," be said, "I'm examin ing tbe engines, MIstaw Tollcmache Is fl-wlng up tho donkey boiler, and Doc taw Cbwlstobal Is with MIstaw Boyle. You know w lie aw the captain is, so I weckon yo' best place I tbe salon.' "Dr. Chrlstobal said yoo were roak lng a raft?" "Thnt'a wight But when tbe ship got off we tackled otbaw Jobs. She Is ow-ab best waft." "May I not look after aome of tbe Injured men?" "That you can't was Walker's prompt assurance. "You'd bettaw stick to tbe salon. I'll tell tbe captain yo' the-aw." "Tell him? Are you returning to tbe bridge?" "Telephone!" shouted Walker as an unusually heavy ses caused blm to slam tbe door unceremoniously. He bolted It too. Not if be could help it would hi charge come out on tbat storm swept deck unattended. The electric light glowed brightly In Elsie's cabin, exactly as sbe bad left It an bour ago. This was one of the anomalous conditions of the disaster. It lent a queer sense of midsummer madness to the night's doings. In a few days It would be Christmas, the Christmas of sunshine and flow ers known only to that lesser por tion of tbe habitable earth south of tbe line. In Valparaiso tbe weather wa stifling, yet hero, not o very for away, It wa bitterly cold. And the ship wa driving headlong to destruc tion, though electric bells and switches were at command lu a luxuriously fur nished apartment, while the engineer bad just spoken of the telephone as a means of conversing with the captain, Away down In her feminine heart the girl wondered wby Courtenay himself bad not come to ber. Wby bad be sent Chrlstobal first and Walker subse quently? Ob, of course be bad more urgent matters to etteud to, though la the helpless condition of tbe sblp It was dilQcult to appreciate tbelr precise de gree of Importance. Anyhow, be bad sent word tbat sbe was to change ber clothes, snd be must be obeyed, as Dr. Chrlstobal aald. Then sbe discovered ss a quite new and physically disagreeable fact that br skirts were soaked np to ber knees, while ber blouse was almost In tb same condition owing to tbe quantity of spray wblcb bad run down lnalde ber thick ulster. Sbe busied herself In procuring fresh clothing snd boots. Tbe outcome of the pleasant feeling of warmth and comfort was such ss tbe girl herself would not have guessed in a week. Tb mere grateful touch of tbe dry garments Induced sn extra or dinary drowsiness. She felt tbat sbe must lie down-just for a minute. Sbe stretched herself on the bed, closed ber eyes snd was straightway sound asleep. At tbe captain's suggestion Chrlstobal bad given ber a strong dose of bromide In tbe wine. It was better so. If tbe ship were dashed to pieces against tbe rocks which unquestionably lay ahead, Elsie would be whirled to tbe life eternal before she quite knew whst wss hap pening If, on tbe other band, some mlrscle of tbe sea enabled the men to construct a ses worthy raft in time or tbe rising tide permitted the Esnsas to escape In so far to run ashore again In s comparatively sheltered position. she would be none tbe worse for sn hour's sleep. And now tbst tbe sblp was afloat there were things to be done m ulch only men could do. Tbe salon. the decks, the fore 'cabin, were places of tb dead. Fearing lest Elsie might psss, Chrlstobal before attending to Boyle bad thrown tablecloth ever the bodies of men slain In the salon, for Cray and Tollemacbe bad sternly but vainly striven to repress the second re volt Tollemacbe snd Walker bad dragged out of tbe smothering sprsy near tbe port davits three men who j seeasd t be averuly itunned. The, with the chief otfloer and perhapa four survivors of the explosion, made up the iisi or living but noneffective members of tbe ship's company. There was one otner, Uugllelmo Frascuolo, who wss pawling ror dear life in bis bunk In tbe forecastle, but in tbat dark bour no one chanced to remember him, and it needed more than a human voice to pit Itself against the hurricane which roared over tbe vessel. The unhappy wretch knew that something out of tbe ordinary bad taken place, and be was scared half out of his wits by tbe con tlnucd absence of tbe crew. Luckily for himself, he did not appreciate the real predicament of tbe ship or be would have raved himself Into mad- Walker In hla brief catalogue of oc cupatlona bad suppressod one. To make sure Chrlstobal closed a water tight bulkhead door which cut off the principal staterooms from tbe salon Then he and his two helpers carried out a painful but necessary task. It was bis duty to certify whether or not life was extinct. There were very few exceptions. Tho three men lifted the bodies and threw them overboard. When tbey reached the corpses of the second officer and a Spanish engineer who bad been knifed in the defense of the Jolly boat bis comrade bad scram bled Into ono of tho lifeboats Tollo mache took possession of such money, documents snd valuables as were In their pockets, Intending to draw np an Inventory when an opportunity pre sented Itself. Though tbey knew not the moment wben a sickening crash would herald the final dissolution of the sblp, tbey proceeded wltb their work methodic ally. In half an bour they bad reached the end. All tbe Injured men-seven nondescript sailors snd firemen were carried to tbe salon and placed under Cbrlstobal's care. Walker dived below to tbe engine room, where be bad al ready disconnected the rods broken or bent by the fracture of a guard ring, which In turn was injured by the blowing out of a Junk ring, a stout ring of forged steel secured to one of tbo pistons. He could do nothing more on deck. Whether he was destined to live fifty seconds or as many years, be was III content to bear bla beloved en gines knocking themselves to pieces wltb each roll of the sblp.

The small engine, more reliable and quits as pow erful ss a hundred men, wss In perfect order. Tho Kansas rolled heavily. The roll waa caused by an experimental twist of tbe wheel. Courtenay, peering Into tbe darkness through the open window of the chart bouse, saw tbat tbe weath er waa clearing. He bad evolved a theory, and, for want of a better, be was determined to pursue It to a fluUb. The Kansas wa being swiftly carried along In a strong snd deep tidal cur rent. Happily the wind followed the set of the sea, else there would be no chance of success for bis daring plan. Ilia expedient was the desperst on of keeping the vessel In the line of tbe current, and If day broke before be reached tbe coast be would ateer for any opening wblcb presented Itself In the fringe of reef which must assur edly guard tbe mainland.

Many old friends and relatives of the Field family in Dorset and elsewhere have been greatly pained to bear of the death of Mr, Charles Armstrong Field, only son of the lute Charles, and Hen rietta Armstrong Field of Dorset, Vt. Mr. Field died in Tucson, Arizona, af ter seven years of illness, borne with invincible patience and courage. Ho was born in Dorset, Ulay 23rd, 1853, in a home of rare refinement and cultivation, where childhood was un derstood, appreciated, and made happy in a way qn ite unusual His people were thorough New Englanders in ancestry, coming in every branch from a line of colonial men and women who were closely connected with the settlement of old New England towns. Two of tho first land-grants in Dorset were taken up by bis great-grandparents. On both father's and mother's sides were revolutionary patriots; bis great grandfather Armstrong fought for five years in the Revolutionary army. Na turally his father left his little family to serve as a soldier in the Civil War. Many are yet living who recall the pleasant home and the shy, quiet, thoughtful boy who there grew into a serious, scholarly young man. Later on they knew bim as a man of fine ability and education, deeply enriched by travel and observation. He was al ways fond of Natural History and greatly interested for many years in Ethnology. Always he was reaping "tbe harvest of a quiet eye." He grad uated from Phillips Academy, Audov- er, in June, 1871, but his study there was only the foundation for his later education. For a time he studied law, but be found it not wholly to his taste, and his delicate health gave way under close confinement within doors. In 1874 be went to Nevada and lived for a year on its wide sunny heights; later he went to California, where another year of out of door life followed, wbicb be greatly enjoyed. Subsequently be apent several years in Toledo, 0., being associated with hia father in business there. Always anxious to return to California permanently, in 1833 be went to San Francisco as associate manager of that branch of tbe Producers Marble Company. Thus be became identified with the interests of Senator Proctor of Vermont, bis father's friend and his own, and continued in that connection to the end. As the foreign manager of the Vermont Marble Company at San Francisco be introduced the nse of New England marble in the Orient, and those countries w hose shores are wacbed by the Pacific Ooean, Sir times be visited all the great ports of Australia and New Zealand; twice be extended these trips to India, China and Japan; travelling extensively in all these countries, and in Central and South America, and three times be en circled the glolie.

Albert Clark of Boston has ac cepted the invitation of Roberts Post, G. A. R., Rutland, to give the Memo rial day address in that city this year. The directors of the school union of the towns of Bristol, Lincoln, Starks boro, Moukton and New naven at the annual meeting, voted to raise the sal aryof Supt. A. W. Eddy from 1,200 to $1,350. A. C. Dike of Bristol, who was scri ouslv injured in the wreck at Vergen nes December 4, 1900, and who sued the Rutland railroad for $10,000, has settled with the company on terms sat isfactory to both parties. Dr. H. J. Millard, who is a native of Vermont, is interesting himself in the formation of a Vermont society in North Adams. There are many resi dents of that city who went there from the Green mountain state. The Hooker, Corser Mitchell over all factory at Brattleboro, which has been running with a reduced force since January 1, baa begun running on full time and with a full force of help. Nearly 200 hands are employed. Whooping cough has been reported to Health Officer Dr. Clarence F. Ball, of Rutland, thus far this month from nine families, each family averaging about three eases. One case of diph theria, one of measles, and one of pneumonia have also been reported to bim. At a meeting of Burlington auto-no- bilists held at the Van Ness Weducsi day evening the advisability of having an automobile parade, a club bouse, and country runs were discussed and it was voted to notify all the members of the Burlington Automobile club to meet at the Van Ness bouse Tuesday evening, when these ideas will be dis cussed at length. There are now over one hundred owners of ears in the city and it is thought that if the owners can be gotten together much can be done toward arousing iutcrest and enthus iasm ia automobiling. Tbe largest berd of deer in the slat ia undoubtedly that reported by M. A. Dunn, a Pownal farmer living in the Dugway district. According to Mr. Dunn a heard of 32 deer baa made ita home during tbe winter on tbe moun tain near hia home. He inaista that the j deer were teen by all tbe members of bia family and that be ia positive that the count is correct aa tbe animals were aeen crossing an open apace between two wooded sex-tious of the mountain.

The Aftermath of Easter Business th. Is a lot of broken sizes. Without stretching a point in any direction we may say that never in the history of our store have we had a better or more satisfactory business in Men's Suits. Not only was the volume of sales greater, but those who bought insisted on ha ring the highest qualities and the very best styles; proof of restored prosperity. Many of our high grade lines are badly depleted. We have assembled all and have repriced them for quick clearance. The accompanying items will give you an idea as to what we have done to the original prices: Our Men's $17.50 and $18.50 suits that the sizes were a little broken, have been added to our $15.00 line. Many of the $15.00 suits are placed at $32.50 and so on down; so, if you have not bought early it gives you an opportunity to secure a suit at a reduction. Come in and see them. Ladies' Suits at $15.00. We gathered the most su perb collection of man tailored suits tor ladies and misses in plain and fancy browns, blues and black. Also handsome stripe effects, not one in this collection have we sold under $17.50 and from that up are for this week selling at $15.00. All our Ladies' $12.50 Suits at $9.98 Our $12.50 Silk Jumper Suits at $9.98 Ladi Goats o les ODnng No matter what your Coat want may be you are sure to find it at the "SURPRISE," our prices range from 52.98 for handsome covert cloth coals tb $14.50 for elaborate long silk, but the price alone we name here tells you nothing, it is the combination of quality, style and the low prices we are asking that will make it worth your while to regard tbe Surprise Merchandise Co. as your trading headquarters.

Touching the Incident of AuibasKnilot Hill, whom the president choHe for the post at Berlin, Slayden said: "Two great governments have Just been Jolted by the mere replacing of one representative by another.

Mew t CUan Them and Aveld Many Painful Allmants. Ear troubles are frequent In cold weather. Tbey develop largely through the action of cold upon wag in the auditory canal, alnl the proper car of this becomes a uistter of Importance. To remove loo much of tbe wag mean to run danger of Injuring the bearing. To let too much remain Is neither cleanly nor wise, says the Wasblugtoa Star. The safe manner of cleaning should be understood by every per son, for tbe esr is one of the most delicate organs we have, and the risk of doing permanent damage la ever present According to one of the best known aurlnts in New York, the ssfest meth od of daily cleaning Is to put bit of old thin linen, such as a handkerchief, over the tip of the little linger and In sert this Into the orifice. Tb cloth should not go deeper than the floger tip can reach. In this way there will be no chance of hurting tbe bearing. While this is undoubtedly a safe. scientific way, the average woman will find a hairpin more to her liking, un der no circumstances should a stick or other pointed Implement be used, bat the loop at the end of a hairpin pre vent Its doing harm unless It I thrust in so hard as to cause pain. On 1 not likely to do this. To wash tb Interior wet bit of linen and nib on some soap; then wrap this with one thickness only about tb pin loop and put It gently Into tb ear. Tbe cloth may be turned slowly and then at once removed and a fresh part taken to repeat tbe operation. Rinse by wetting tbe cloth another time In warm water. Cold water should never be used lo cleaning tbe ear. It will tend to harden tbe wax, snd one this hap pens desfness, though only temporary, will asuslly ensue. Warm glycerin is tb greatest aid when there Is troubl caused by ac cumulated bard wax. Id using this put a few drops into ths ear at night and rest tbe bead so that ths lo tion will not run out. In th morning a careful cleaning wltb hot water may be sufficient to remove tb obstruction, but if It Is not on should go Imme diately to a physician to have tb ca nst cleaned. Violent blowing of the no la a source of dsnger to tb ears and not Infrequently causes temporary deaf ness by closing tb auditory canal. On the other band, aometlmes the esra may be cleared when temporarily stop ped by holding the nostrils closed with tbe fingers and then making an effort to blow. The air, making Its escape, finds no outlet through the no and so rushes to tb ear, thus often clear ing tbe pisssge. If one effort in this direction, how ever, accomplish nothing, It should not b tried sgsin, for tbe risk of do ing hsrjn to the eardrum beco-ae great Nature's AH.

There are a great many other like com munities' in New England which are fading, nlowly fading, into insignifi cance, to end finally in utter extinction in so far a a distinct individuality is concerned. Tliere probably 1 not enough of the reenperative powers re maining in little llockingham to cause the village, phoenix-like, to arise from it ruin. Thus the end i only has tened. Thereby also acceleration was given to a movement which is chnnging the aspect of New England, turning the once populous section into a wilder ness and transforming the waste places into hive of industry. Once upon a time, the village of Rockingham wa a bustling, flourishing village, the head of the affair of the town and appar ently destined to ao continue. Then the town olllcers were removed to the village of Bellows Falls at a more ad vantageous point, and the life blood wa sucked from Ifocikinghani village Since that occurred, llockingham has dwindled to a cluster of about a score of building; anil nowthc fiery element ha clapped the climax of the downfall y wiping out a majority of the build ings, including the business places. It is a mournful tale on top of another more mournful tale a Htory of the changing aspect of old Ncw England, which is inevitable.

He left Burlington in the afternoon on his 18-foot power boat for tho mouthof the Winooski river. When some distance from Appletree point his boat, while going at a good speed struck a floating log. Mr. Brown was thrown out of the boat into about 30 feet of wntcr. The boat was badly damaged. After much effort he suc ceeded in swimming ashore, a distance of 5U feet or more, and walked half a mile to the nearest house where be was given a change of clothing, afterwards continuing to the city. Wednesday he returned to search for his boat, but was not successful. A row boat trail ing behind wa also lost. (Ieorge J.

The Captain of the K ansas. COS-TINTED FROM PAflK ON'K. ho would discern the first faint streaks of light. At any rale, If he'were spared to greet the dnwn It would lie right ahead, and, aa a few seconds might then be of utmost value, that was small point in his favor. Yet, two tours! Could ho dare to hope for so Jong a respite? How could tho ship escape the unnumbered fangs which form torn land thrust far out into the raclflc for Its own protection? He was quite sheltered from the wind and spray In the chart bouse, and all at once he became aware of a burn ing thirst There was water in a de canter close at hand, bo he indulged In a long drink. Thnt was wonderfully vivifying. Then his mind turned long ingly to tobacco. For the first time in bis life be broke the strict rule of the service la which he had been trained and smoked a cigar while on duty, Now and again he spoke cheerily to the dog: "Well, Joey, here we are; still got a bark In us!" or "You and I must have our names on too admiralty cbart, Joey 'Channel surveyed by Captain Courtenay and pup; details uncertain.' How does that sound, old chap?" And again: "I suppose your friend. Miss Maxwell, is asleep by this time. If she falls you Joey, do you call her Elsie? I rather fancy Elsie as a name. What do you think?" To all of which the dog, who bad found a dry corner, would respond wltb a smile lyid a tail wag. The long wait In the darkness would have broken many a man's nerve, but Courtenay was not cast In a mold to be either bent or broken by fear. When bis cigar was not In bis mouth bo whistled, be hummed saattehes of longs and delivered short lectures t Joey on the absurdity of things In gen ernl and the special ridiculousness of men a mlality combination of circuin stances centering on one poor ship as had foregathered to crush the Kansas. Ever sine he was aroused from sleep by tho stoartng of the screw bis mind bad dwelt on the unprecedented nature of the breakdown. Even before he dis covered Its cause be was wondering what evil chance bad contrived to crip- nle the endue at such a moment In the worst possible place on the mop. 'Joey." be aald suddenly, bis thoughts reverting to a chance remark made to him in Valparaiso by Isobel's father, "what did Mr. Baring mean by saying there was a difficulty about the Insurance?" Joey gave It up, hut be cocked bis ears ana looaea towara tue uoor. Christobal entered. Boyle will recover," be said when be bad wiped the spray off bl face, He had a narrow escape. The knife just grazed tbe spinal cord. The shock to tbe dorsal nerves Induced temporary paralysis, and that rather misled me. He Is much better now. t'nder ordinary condition be would be able to get about Id few days. As It la, he wlb probably live as long as any of us." Christobal waved a band toward tb external void. He was cot aailor enough to realize the change la tb weatber. "That is good news," aald Courtenay. "I thought you would like to know. now ar things up here?" "Better. Tbe barometer has risen an Inch In less than two hours. Tosslbly nearness to tbe land bas some effect, but wind and sea are subsiding.''

Do you mean dynamite or gunpowder or that sort of thing?" "Something of the kind. That Is ouly a supposition, but when I whisper ed It to Walker ho agreed." "Walker! Is be the man who speak so queerly?" "If you ever go to Newcastle, don't put it that way. I told him to tako Miss Maxwell to her cnbin. Did he do so?" "Yes. I havo not seen her aluce, so I assume that tho bromldo plus the wine was effective. Well, I must re turn to my patients. Can I get you anything? I am storekeeper, you know." "No, thanks." "Nothing to eat or drink?" "Nothing. I shall be ready for square meal when I am ablo to come below, not before." Christobal smiled. Thougli be was brave man, ho thought such persistent optimism was out of place. Neverthe less he could emulate Courtenay's cool ness. "Let mo know when you are ready. I am an excellent cook," ho said. Then the captain of tho Kansas re sumed his smoking and humming, with occasional glances at tho clock and the compass and tho barometer. At 2 o'clock he felt the ship allpplng from under tho wbeeL Tbe compass sbow- ed that she was beading a. couplo of points eastward. Ho helped her and telephoned Instantly to Walker: "Go forward and try If you can mnko out anything. Report to me here." "Aye, aye, sir!" came the reply, and anon Walker appeared. "It's main thick ahead, sir, but I think we-aw passln an Island to port," aald be. "I thought so. You bad better re main here, Walker. We have not long to wait now for the dawn, and four eyes are better than two." Walker imagined that Die skipper was ready for a chat "Things are In a dweadful mess be low, sir. I can't make head or tall of the smash." "Well, thnt must wait Don't talk. Keep a sharp lookout" The engineer could not guess that the captain's pulse was beating a trifle more rapidly with -a certain elntlon. They were undoubtedly passing White Horse Island. It revealed lis presence by deflecting the tremendous sea river which ferried the Kansas onward at such a rate. In fifteen or twenty min utes Courtenay expected to find Indica tions of a more northerly set of tho tide, and he watched the compass In tently for the first sign of this return to the former course. If the ship cross ed the current one way or the other she would certainly be driven ashore on some outlying spur of the island or detached aunkeu reef; hence bo must actually guess bis way, with some thing of tho acquired aenso of the blind, because the alight chance of ulti mate escape for the ship and her occu pants rested w holly on the assumption that some ocean byway was leading her" to a deep water Inlet, where It might be possible to drop tbe anchor. In eighteen minutes or thereabouts the needle moved slightly. Courtenay once more assisted the ablp with the helm. She steadied herself, and the compass pointed due northeast again. Walker, though aa engineer, knew enough of navigation to recognize the apparent impossibility of the captain being able to steer with any real knowledge of hi surroundings. Tb Wheel twisting therefore savored of magic. liut his orders wer to look ahead, and be obeyed. Boon be thought be could discern an Irregular pink crescent, wltb Ihe con cave side downward, somewhere in the blackneas beyond the bows. Sieecltly It wa Joined by two others equally Irregular and somewhat lower. "Captain, d'ye ee yon?" be asked In voice tremulous with awe. "Yes. That Is tb sun Just catching tbe aurnmlt of snow topped bill. It not only foretell tb dawn, but la a sign of fine weatber, There are no cloud over the land or wet should not tee tbe peaks." Ere long a silver gray light began to dispel tbe gloom. The two silent etchers first saw It overhead, and tlie vat dome of day swiftly wldeneel ever tbe vexed sea. The aftermath of tbe storm spread a tow, eVnae cloak of vapor all round. Tbe wind bad fallen ao greatly that they could bear tu ong of the rigging. Boon they could distinguish the outline- of Ihe heavy roller near at band, and Courfetiay believed that tbe ship In her paeueag eacotiutered In In watetr several nar row bands of a bright red color.

"I used to lie able to clluib a bit, sir." "Well, try the foremast Up tliere I am fairly certain you can see over this bank of mist. Don't get Into trouble. Come back If you feci you can't man age It If you succeed, take the best observations possible aud report." Courtenay was becoming anxious now. If he dared let go tne wneei ne would have climbed the mast himself. Walker set about bis mission In a businesslike manner. He tbrew off his thick coat and boots and went for ward. Halfway up the mast there wa a rope Indder for the use of the sailors when adjusting pulleys, The rest of the Journey was not diffi cult for an athletic man, and Walker was cjulckly an indistinct figure In the fog. He gained the truck all right and Instantly yelled something. Courtenay fancied he said: "My God, we ah on the woc.k!" Whatever it was, Walker did not wait, but slid downward with such speed Unit ft wa fortunate tho rig ging barred bis progress. And then, even while Coiirtenuy was shouting aomo explanation, a great black wall rose out of the deep on the port bow. It was ft pinnacle rock high as the ship's masts, but only a few feet wide at sea level, aud the Kansas sped past this ugly monitor as though It wer a buoy in a well marked chan nel. Courtenay heard the sea breaking against it. The ship could not have been more than slily f'jet distant, a Utile more than her own beam, and be fully expected Unit she would grind against aume outlier In the next In stant. Hut til.

On account of continued ill health I am compelled to commence the final closing out of my ENTIRE STOCK in order to wind up my business. To do this, I will offer a special discount as above which will make it an object for every buyer to anticipate his wants for the coming year. As is well known, the stock is the largest in all this vicinity and in every way fresh and desirable and has been kept replete with new and desirable goods in every de partment so that it is in no way run down or shop worn. Think what this dis count means to you. You buy every $5.00 item for $3.75, $1.00 one for 75c, 50c one for 37 l2c, 25c one for 19c, etc., making a very radical saving on all your purchases, and any article less desirable on account of condition and sea son will often be sold at ONE HALF regular price. This is no fake sale but an absolute "wind up" of the mercantile business so long conducted by Burton Co., and myself. Remember, Coats' Best Spool Cotton at 5c, not more than one doz., to a customer, assorted, as you wish. Best Prints 5c a yard. Elegant line of Ladies' Muslin Skirts and Night Robes, Drawers and Corset Covers all at three-quarters regular price. At hast 100 Ladies' Black Petticoats including Satteens, Heatherblooms and Silks one-quarter off former prices. A few dozen Men's 50c Jersey Underwear at 35c.

Tea Dust at 10c per lb. and a few other like items that have to be constantly replaced are alone excepted and on these special net prices will be made so as to bring them cheaper than sold elsewhere, for instance: Men's Rubber Boots $2.62. Boy's Rubber Boots, sizes 1 to 6, $1.50. Diamond Patent Flour at $5.75 and Acme Choicest Pastry at $5.00 per bbl. Best six cord Spool Cotton at 5c, or 55c doz, any size or number black and white, other colors mostly No. 50.
