Follow this advice.
Quaker Scotch Oats Is the best ot
all toods; It Is also the cheapest. When
euch men as Prof. Fisher of Yale Uni-
versity and Sir James Crichton Browne,
LL.D.-F.R.S. of London spend the
best parts of their lives In studying
the great question of the nourishing
and strengthening qualities of differ
ent foods, It Is certain that their advice
Is absolutely safe to follow.
Professor Fisher found in his ex-
periments for testing the strength and
endurance of athletes that the meat
eaters were exhausted long before the
men who were fed on such food as
Quaker Scotch Oats. The powers of
endurance of the non-meat eaters were
about eight times those of the meat
eaters.
Sir James Crichton Browne says—
eat more oatmeal, eat plenty of It and
eat It frequently. 69

metically sealed tins for hot climates.
Diplomacy.
Here la a story about a diplomatic
negro waiter; also about two well-
known Kansas men, wbo can go by
the names of Smith and Jones, Just to
tell the yarn.
Smith and Jones look much alike
and are frequently taken for each
other. One day Smith was In a cer-
tain big hotel not a thousand miles
from Kansas City and went into the
-dining room for dinner. The negro
waiter busily brushed off the crumbs
and said: “Why, how Is you, Mr.
Jones, how Is you? I’s glad to Bee you.
I hasn’t seen you since 1 waited on
your table when you all used to have
a little game upstalhs.”
“I'm frald you are mistaken,” said
Smith, very quickly. “My name isn't
Jones. You have the wrong man."
“Nuff said; nuff said,” smiled the ne-
gro, with much bowing and scraping.
"Ah knows all right when to keep
tnah mouf shet; Ah knows all right.
Itr. Jones."—Kansas City Journal.
Her Excuse.
"Why—er—yes,” Miss Goodley ad-
mitted, “perhaps you did hear ms tell-
ing the minister I was only twenty-
two."
“Oh, Tm surprised!” exclaimed Miss
Gaddlet, “and you a Sabbath school
teacher, too!”
“But," Miss Goodley protested, “the
minister has told us It’s always better
to understate a thing than to exag-
gerate."

and offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda, *

been taken In order to go to the Antarc-
tic circle. Tuttle explained that on a
former voyage he had learned that the
Donna Isabel was lost in 175.1. He bad
found It frozen in a huge case of Ice
on an Island and contained much gold.
Stephens consented to be the captain
of the expedition. H-e told Lady
Darlington. She was greatly alarmed,
but expressed confidence In him. The
Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the
fog. Stephens attempted to communicate.
This caused a fierce struggle and he was
overcome Tuttle finally squaring the sit-
uation. Then the Sea Queen headed south
again. Under Tuttle's giddance tbe ves-
sel made progress toward Its goal.
De Nova, the mate, told Stephens that he
believed Tuttle, now acting as skipper,
Insane because of his queer actions.
Stephens was awakened by crashing of
glass. He saw Tuttle In the grip of a
spasm of religious mania and overcame
him. The sailor upon regaining Ills senses
was taken ill. Tuttle rommttted suicide
by shooting. Upon vote of the crew
Stephens assumed the leadership and the
men decided to continue the treasure
hunt, the Islands being supposed to be
onlv 200 miles distant. Tuttle was buried
In the sea, Lady Darlington pronouncing
the service. Stephens awaking from
sleep saw the ghost, supposed to have
formed the basis for Tuttle's religious
mania. Upon advice of Lady Darlington,
Stephens started to probe the ghost.
He come upon Lieut. Sanchez, the drunk-
en officer he hod humbled In Chile. He
found that at Sanchez' Inspiration, En-
gineer McKnlght played "ghost” to scare
the men Into giving up the quest. Steph-
ens announced that the Sea Queen was at
the spot where Tuttle’s quest was sup-
posed to he. The crew was anxious to go
on In further search. De Nova and Steph-
ens conquered them In a fist fight. Lady
Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen

fog. Stephens. De Nova. Lady Darlington

Stephens saw onlv one chance In a thou-

her love to Stephens and he did likewise.
.Lady Darlington told her life story; how
she had been bartered for a title, her
yearning for absent love. She revealed
herself as the school chum of Stephens
sister. She expressed a wish to die In the
sea rather than face her former friends
and go hack to the old life. A ship was
sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict.
They boarded her. She was frozen tight

There Was a Smile Upon Her Lips and

CHAPTER XXIV.—Continued.
That breakfast was the first warm
meal any of us had enjoyed for five
dsfrs, and we ate It together, sitting
about on the galley deck. The men
were unusually silent. even the voluble
Kelly holding his tongue. No doubt
their thoughts were with Hieir perilous
situation and the grewsome task con-
fronting them; yet they partook heart-
ily of the food, and 1 endeavored by
every means In my power to arouse
their courage and cheerfulness. To
that end I dwelt on the possibility of
the wealth that might be concealed be-
tween decks,promising an early search.
But I spoke most to Lady Darlington,
admiring greatly the easy manner In
which she bore herself amid such
rude surroundings and adapted herself
to the necessities of our situation. AH
semblance of pride and exclusiveness
had vanished, and she was a simple
hearted woman, bearing her trials
with silent fortitude. Only once did
she even refer to our discoveries aft,
and then only to appear perfectly sat-
isfied when I explained that the cabin
was hi such disorder It would have to
be cleaned before fit for occupancy.
Rough as the experience of the previ
ous night had been, he* dress soiled,
her hair ruffled, never had she ap-
peared more attractive than when, sit-
ting In the midst of ns on that galley
deck with the gray daylight streaming
in through the broken roof, the ruddy
flames of the Are flickered across her
face. I saw the men glance tt/ward
her In respectful admiration as they
filed out one by one, and thus left us
for a moment alone. No matter what
words I whispered In the brief time
before I Joined them, but as I gl&noed
back Where she remained standing,
there was a smile upon her Mps and
• nllst of tear* in her eyes. As for
myself, 1 was prepared for the work
of the ddjr.
'ike uipni need of getting some
form of sail up and ot releasing the
mm Indeed imperative; any
would have found
and shaming them by leading the way
myself.
I need not dwell upon the unpleas-
ant details. The most disagreeable
portion fell to me, although Johnson
took hold like a man after the first
few moments of reluctance. The oth-
ers devoted themselves diligently to
scraping off the Ice, gathering up and
casting overboard the accumulation of
litter about the main cabin and the
various staterooms, and assisting us
only as we passed the heavy, rigid
bodies through the stern-ports. We
performed this unpleasant task of
burial hastily, but with all gentleness;
there was little to dp except to wrap
the stiffened figures as best we might,
weight them, though they were them-
selves like stone, and consign them to
the gray Bea. Not heartlessly, but with
unspoken prayers upon our lips, we
watched them sink silently Into the
depths they had resisted so long.
Never shall l forget the face of the
child, the last to bo burled, nor the
sickening feeling with which I sank
back upon a bench, staring about the
vacated cabin when the awful task
was finally accomplished: yet the re-
alization that it was over with, the
caftln cleared and habitable, made new
men of all of us. The bedding was
brought forth and aired before the
door and stepped within. Scarcely
a reminder was left of that horrible In-
terior domiftated by death which had
been revealed to me a few hours be-
fore by the smoky glare of the torch.
While we were laboring forward to
clear the deck, Doris and Celeste evi-
dently had also been diligently em-
ployed, and with womanly Intuition
had given to the desolate Interior a
home-like touch which was irresistible.
I could only come to a pause—gazing
about and wondering ir we could real-
ly be afloat upon a century-old wreck,
tbssed helplessly on the waters of the
Polar sea. The odd, old-fashioned
swinging lantern threw violqt-hued
rays over the snug scene, while In the
center the table,, covered by a Spotless
cloth, was fairly glistening In a bril-
liant display of ancient silver, newly
polished, and of decorated glass. Jloris,
i^ho had been engaged in glvidg the
arrangement some final deft touches,
turned Instantly at the sound of our
entrance, her sweet face brightening
with interest as khe read the amaze-
ment pictured In my eyes.
"You have actually worked a
marvel!” I exclaimed, admiringly.
“Where In the world did you unearth
such a display?"
"From a locker behind the steward's
pantry,” she replied, smilingly. "But,
open ports, the furniture restored to 0h,” with a shiver, "It was most bltter-
posltlon, and a fire started In the huge
box-stove. This quickly warmed the
Icy interior and yielded a new aspect
of cheerfulness. De Nova and Kelly
explored the steward’s panlry, discov-
ering a quantity of frozen biscuit,
several hams rigid as rock, together
with numerous flasks of some liquid
turned Into solid Ice. We found can-
dles, also, hard as nails though they
burned fairly well after a period of
sputtering, and we fitted six of them
Int^o the great lantern. By noon we
had completed the work, and had
brought Lady Darlington and Celeste

the door. I actually had to wait half
an hour before venturing In. Yet you
grouped close T>esT3erThfr ' BTiTEfllTdn
while De Nova and Celeste had gone
forward to assist Dade In bringing Ills
supper from the galley, so that for the
moment we were comparatively alone.
As I bent over, wondering what I had
best say, she questioned quickly, with
a little sharp indrawing of the breath:
“And—and the people. Jack,—tbe—
crew?. What became of them?"
“Dead more than a century ago," I
answered solemnly. “I did not stop
this morning to read the log, and so
I know little of their story. But the
vessel Itself tells of storm and of long
struggle In the Ice; probably most of
those on board perished from expos-
ure and cold."
Her hands clasped mine, her cheeks
white from apprehension.
"Were—were there any—any bodies
—here?”
"Yes.” I replied reluctantly, not dar-
ing to say otherwise.
"How—how many?”
“Four men, a woman, and a child.’
An instant she stared Into my face;
then swept her eyes about the light-
ed cabin, only to bury them within her
hands, her whole body trembling.
"A—a woman and child! Here!
here! for 126 years! Oh, merciful
God!” she lifted her eyes again, filled
with horror, her hands clenched.
“They—they were actually here, ap-
pearing natural? looking as they did
In life?”
“Yes; they seemed to be sleeping,
for they had been solidly frozen in the
very attitudes In which they died. The
woman rested on the couch yonder.
She had beautiful dark hair and eyes,
and must have been about 30 years of
age. The child was In a bunk, a little
flaxen-haired girl of three or four.”
“And—and you burled them?”
“As best we could. We wrapped
them in blankets, and consigned them
to the deep, with a prayer for their
souls.” I bent closer. “Doris, dear,
don't let this rest so heavily upon you.
I wish I might have kept It all hidden.
It was only the encT> of one of the in-
numerable tragedies of the sea. We
must face our own needs now, and
that task will require all our courage.”
I thought she did not hear me, the
tears continuing to fall between her
fingers, half-suppresed sobs shaking
her form. Yet as I rested my hand
upon her shoulder, she looked up at
me out of moistened eyes, her lips
firmly set.
"Yes—yes; I know, Jack, but—but
it Is all so terrible, and—and has come
to me with such a shock. I can not
comprehend it—that they should have
actually been here—here, all those
years—waiting! But I will not think
of It any longer; I—I will do some-
thing to make me forget.”
We all messed together, sitting upon
the long benches drawn up about the
table., Dade waiting upon us, with Dor
is and Celeste occupying places be-
tween De Nova and myself. At the
beginning we spoke little, the strange-
ness of our surroundings holding us
silent, but the minds of all being busy
wilh the same thought, we Insensibly
drifted Into conversation regarding
our chances of rescue, and the history
of the old vessel in whose cabin we
floated. Once De Nova Introduced the
subject of the treasure which might

piece is beautifully engraven with a
fac simile of the ship, and a .master-
piece of art.”
I gazed at the bit of plate handed
me, weighing It In my hand, and study-
ing the decidedly elaborate scroll.
"I have read that these old galleons
were often furnished regardless of ex-
pense,” I said, “and the Dons were
high livers. Did you make any other
discoveries?”
"Only several cases of liquor, but all
were frozen solid. The lazarette opens
from the pantry, and we succeeded in
lifting the trap-door, but the cold of
the air which came up was so Intense
that we were compelled to drop It
again Immediately. I never Imagined
such an atmosphere possible.”
1 "It Is the breath of 126 years of
polar winter," I explained. "This very
cabin was of that same temperature
when we first broke through Its Ice
covering."
8he pressed her palms to her tem-
ples, staring about her at the gray,
gold-decorated Interior.
“Do you' actually mean to tell me
that—that this wreck has been drift-
ing and toistng about all that time?”
the questioned unbelievingly.
“No, not drifting and tossing about,
but solidly Imbedded within the lot
far eouth of this. This vessel la the
Donna Isabel—the same one Tuttle
saw—and her log-book Ilea la that

entry wm made In September, 1713.”

alizing that for the present our earli-
est effort should be to transform the
wreck Into some degree of safety—a
sail first, and a clean rudder; these at-
tained, tbe search for treasure might
begin. y
What a scene and group that was!—
the wintry night without, the drifting
fog of snow, the helpless hulk rising
and falling upon the treacherous heave
of the sea, that odd, violet-colored light
gleaming over us. The faces are even
before me—the girlish looking Celeste,
with her dark curls and white teeth;
I,ady Darlington, her gray eyes still
moist as she glanced about the In-
terior, unforget ful of Its mentor lea; De
Nova, jaunty as ever, with no thought
beyond the present, recalling to my
mind with every movement-the face of
that dead Spaniard who for more than
a century had sat where he was sit-
ting: Sanchez, pale and wltti that
hunted look, a counterpart no doubt of
some seaman this ship had known In
other days; McKnlght, burly and red-
necked; Kelly, his blue eyes filled with
the merriment of old Deland; John-
son, broad-shouldered, and sober faced,
eating steadily, with never a lift of
his shaggy brows; and Dade, fluttering
about like a waiter ashore, with his
eternal smirking and suggestion of a
