His lair is grey, his eyes are tired, and lis hands are rough from frost-bite ind arctic winds. He has been shipwrecked four dif- erent times among the icebergs, ind has slept all night on the float- ng ice. He has been lost in the vilds of Labrador and almost frozen o death. He has been so hungry hat he even ate the sealskin straps ff his boots. He is past seventy, and he hasn't iny money. _ But don't feel sorry for Doctor Grenfell, of Labrador. I don't, I anvy him; for he has found about the only things that matters in the world--happiness and contentment. _ Forty-five years ago, Doctor Gren- fell was graduated from Oxford and opened his office in the ultra-fash- ionable Mayfair section of London. His practice grew, he prospered, and he was apparently headed for big things in England: but he needed a rest. So he decided to spend a sum- mer vacation among the. fishermen of Labrador. Dr. Grenfell was astonished to find. that there was not one physi- cian to care for the thirty thousand fishermen inhabiting this bleak and frosty ceast. He did what he could for them that summer; and, in the autumn, he returned to London. But pre- scribing pills for his rich patients in fashionable Mayfair seemed trifling and inconsequential. He had caught a vision. The North was calling him. So back he went and for forty- two years now, he has been sailing up and down the treacherous coasts of Labrador; and has made himself the best-loved physician in all the world. King George of England knighted him for his unselfish and heroic services. t Doctor Grenfell recently talked to me for hours about his extraordinary experiences. Once he called to see an old woman who: had fallen on the ice and crushed her leg. Infec- ion had set in, and her leg had to be amputated. But the pious old woman, nurtured on the precepts of he Old Testament, refused to take 'hloroform. She believed God had sent her the pain and that it was yer Christian duty to bear it. Noth- ng less than a load of dynamite "d have changed her mind. _So she had her five grown sons sit on her and hold her down while Doctor Grenfell cut off her leg. She didn't whimper; but the Doctor told me that the experience almost wrecked him. The most exciting experience of Doctor Grenfell's life occurred on Easter Sunday, in 1908. An emer- gency call came from a man sixty) miles away. The poor fellow was! in agony, and would soon be deadi unless he could be operated upon. So Doctor Grenfell harnessed his dogs and set out with his sled, rac-: ing against death. To save time, he took a_ short cut across the floating ice in the bay. Suddenly the wind changed. The ice started drifting out to sea. The situation was desperate. The dogs made a mad dash for shore. But it was too late. The soft ice gave wéy, and they plunged into the frigid water. Doctor Grenfell grab- bed his knife and cut the dogs loose from the sled. The sled sank, but he and the dogs swam to a floating cake of ice. Doctor Grenfell lost all his warm clothes when the sled sank. The few clothes that he had on were of no use for they were soaking wet with ice water. A bitter wind was blow- ing and night was coming on. He felt himself growing numb with cold. He was drowsy. He knew he was freezing to death. There was only one way out. So he took his pocket knife and killed three of his dogs. Piling up the dead bodies of the dogs to act as a wind break, he wrapped their furry skins about his shivering body and lay down and slept all night on the ice pan that was rocking about in the sea. When morning came, he took the bones of his dogs, tied them to- gether to make a pole, tied his shirt to the end of the pole, and then waved it frantically, hour after hour, at the lonely cliffs on the shore. It seemed utterly hopeless. Suddenly, he saw the flash of an oar in the bright morning sunlight. A boat was fighting its way through the ice and he was saved. What an experience, and what a man! When I said as much to Doctor Grenfell, he protested. "Come now," he said, "you mustn't try to make a martyr of me. It has all been jolly good fun, you know." poarrwes JUST A MONG OURSELVES A Regular Department Conducted for Mirror Readers by Ina St. John. ee, eT eS cg RRR MUTE, ARE ls.

My parents are both very mean to me and I simply can't get along with them. Mother is not well and I am really needed at home. She con- tinually chews at me no matter what I do or how much I do. I never do enough. Anybody that has ever been there or that I worked for has told me I am a good worker. I don't get no clothes, far less any money to spend on amusement or that sort. I wear clothes that by other sisters don't want and then a few clothes that I buy out of the money I have earned. As yet I have never had a spring coat. Whenever I say I want something new there is sure to be a fight. She thinks I should be satisfied to wear the same clothes all the time and ones that are not in style, while other girls have new things every little while. I am going with a boy, but every time I go out I get the deuce to pay sometimes before and after. My dad threatened to kick me out and I only wish he would. There has_ been people at our place and advised me to leave home, but I hate to do this as people generally talk about you. They never stop to think who is to blame for it. I have no pleasure living this way. What is life if you ean't go out, have nice clothes and spending money like other girls do? There is no sense of me saying anything to them as they simply won't reason anything. Please help me. Yours sincerely, "What's the Sense in Living." Dear "What's the Sense," etc.: You certainly are in a difficult posi- tion. I am sure that all who read your letter will sympathize with you.

I would prefer to get the "dressmaker style' but I have heard one is apt to find them cold, even the ones lined with jersey. Do you think it would be safer to choose a wool bathing suit? Thanking you-- NAN. Answer: The wool bathing suit will be more comfortable, Nan. We wish you a happy vacation at lovely Port Stanley. INA ST. JOHN. * * * DISAPPOINTED Dear Miss St. John: What do you think of ladies (7) who accepted men's places to get a view of the royalty and never offered to change places again? This meant that some of the men did not see either the King or the Queen, while the woman had a splendid view of all that went on. They not only con- tinued to occupy the men's places, but refused to even take time to remove their large hats. ONE OF THE MEN. Answer: Possibly it is excitement that causes some people to forget that they have any obligation to their fel- lowmen or women. Certainly some do behave as if they had never heard of the Golden Rule. It is a great pity for anyone to have missed a glimpse of our gallant King and his radiant Queen -- particularly through an act of discourtesy. : INA ST. JOHN. * * * WHOSE JOB? Dear Miss St. John: My wife expects me to push the baby carriage when we are on the street. Isn't this a woman's ae JiR, Answer: Well, J. R., when you went courting you did not expect your girl friend to open a door for herself. Why the change? Any man should consider it not only his job but his proud privilege to wheel his own child.
