A great change was taking place in the forest lanas to the east and it seemâ€" ed that some invisible forces had wakâ€" ened there, for the trees were crashing in the midst, as though unseen woodâ€" nwn or mighty machines began to cut a swathe through them. Tom watched till darkness began to cover the island Then he sought the others. Costa was demandiniz to weigh anchor and be gone.. He, too, had seen the phenâ€" cmena in the woods and observed ‘other sights also. "Tear nothing for him or your ship, Captain,‘" begged Tom. "Pardo is a very brave and capable man. He will come back swiftly. Run up the riding lights to guide him and let me have your megaphone " Night hurried down upon them and Tom bawled every five minutes to the shore, which was no more than a quarâ€" ter of â€"a mile distant. Nor did lizht wholly lack. The volcano cast an inâ€" tense radiance above it into the sky, and a new thing happened, for now fhey heard the tremendous breath of its convulcion and the roar increased upon their ears. Still Felice did not come and the outlook of his friends was changed. All three made common cause with Costa and, after long arguâ€" ment, prevailed with him. An abrupt change of feeling in his friends atâ€" tended Pardo‘s delay, and Angus was the first to express it. "One wasn‘t going back for treasure," he told Jane, "but this is quite another pair of shoesâ€"you see that, don‘t you? Our pal may be in a nasty mess, and if it‘s a question of his life, then the cas>» is altered, of course." "You must go at daylight," she anâ€" swered. "You must try to rescue him, of course," She disappeared to her cabin and Angus also wandered away with his private thoughts. Tom remained on deck tramping up and down and looking at his watch., Of late it seemed that the smoky curâ€" tains over Table Top grew thicker and evident that darkness would fall early. The sky had become overcast beyond the radius of the island and the sun was hidden. Ther straininz his eyes uPon the strand, the watcher marked moveâ€" ment; but it was no returning figure that he saw. "Tom‘s got leave to tak> three men," he explained. "Costa won‘t let any more come. We can‘t row this big boat without help; and they refuse to land in any case, but they‘ll land us and take the dintchy in tow and wait for us to come back. We‘ll go at the first streak of daylight and be aboard again with luck in half an hour. It may be life or death for Felice.‘ "It‘s your duty now," she said. "I don‘t think he‘s alive, Angus, for if he had lived, he would not have let us adown." with her sweeths the better. "We must hope, Jane. I‘d go alone for your sake and you know it, but Ayâ€" Imer wouldn‘t stand for that." "Nor I. He must go too. T‘d come myself. I wouldn\’t be frightened, but T‘qa «be useless." "Hope on, hope ever," he said. "If the island‘s gone toâ€"morrow, noâ€" body can land." "If the island‘s going toâ€"night, my dear girl, we‘re going with 1t * He laughed. "Why did Felice stop and look at the ground when we saw him land?" She asked. MONKDAY. JULY 10TH, 1939 I don‘t know, but I‘d hazard a guess TABLE TOP for the present Eden Phillpotts CHAPTER XIIIL ANOTHER SKELETON A medley of emotions had sped throuzh Felice‘s brain as he pulled himâ€" self ashore; but terror was not one of them. He had never known fear under any circumstances, and danger only served to tighten his unfailing nerve and breed increase of caution. He was cccupied with the turn of fate that had old Benny‘s treasure into his hand, and in such a manner that no stain would ever dim its brightness, or lessen the purity he imagined must attach to its future employment, In spiuit he was already dispensing happiness to the hapless before his boat grounded and he made her fast and left her. He landed, armed with an automatâ€" ic and his revolver, and he carried his bag which contained the heavy matâ€" tock that might be necessary. He found first that the heat had increased ashore and was now tremâ€" endous so that to breathe at all disâ€" tressed his lungs; and then he saw that the water stream from the hot spring had disappeared and matter more solid was flowing in its place. The geyser now sent a moiten flood of lava into the sea and a great hisâ€" sing of white steam rose where the fiery touched the water. And Pardo felt the strand trembling under his feet and heard a rumble and rustle and continued chatter from the cliffs of the gorge. "You can‘t live in Peru and not feel an earth tremor now and again,. I think he knew things were getting shaky, Jane; but the island is a pretty solid chunk, it isn‘t going to cave in without a fight." Th> night was full of formidable noises, though as yet no sea lifted; but thunder growled overhead and ning glared through the pall of smoke making the dull blaze of the volcano faint beneath its diamond brightness, Before dawn they were away and, at the first sulky streak of light, Tom and Angus had gone ashore, while the three rowers made the painter of the idle dinghy fast to their large boat, turned her bows round and waited for them. The men were terrified and chattered to keep up their spirits while the light waxed and revealed many noctural changes Rocks fell from time to time, but he knew that they would not strike him. The nets of the great spiders tangled the way, but he avoided them and then reaching the place of the mornâ€" ing‘s adventure, he saw no sign of the creature that he had slain. Its Comâ€" panions had eaten it. The geyser was belching lava in a steady flow, but the only danger here appeared to be the intolerable heat. The clearing was open to the smoke above and light dimmed rapidly, but the cairn stood ten yards distant from the hot spring and thouzh its stones Murned his hands, Pardo set down his weapons, satisfied himself that no damzer threatened, and attacked it. He threw down the stones troubling not for blistered fingers and quickly discovered the object of his search It was bedded in the blocks of old lava and came away at his touch when he had freed it. A metal box lay there some two feet longz,. a foot wide and two feet deep. Pardo faced the increasing temâ€" perature, turned westward and met a solitary spider moving towards "him It blocked the way and was larger than the first. He drew his autoâ€" matic, waited till it had come within five yards of him and then fired into the mass. It struggled a little further then he fired again and it curled up its legs, lurched forward and expired. ® .0 ## ® # wates #* *# # ## # # ## *# # ## # # ## ## # # #* #*# * + ## ## # # ## #* # # ## #* w# ## # # ##* w # #* w# *# # # LJ Eyes were fixed upon the strand and Tom had never ceased to watch since he landed, but Felice was in the mouth of the gorge and invisible to his friend. Now Pardo bent duown to pick up his bag, and the action was his last but one. From high above, on a massive rope of its own spinning, a spider had descended and now it dropped uon him. He had kept his everywhere save in the black air over his head He knew what had happened and fired twice, but too late to save himself., The huge inâ€" sect indeed perished, but not before its famgs were in the man‘s back, and lightning could not have killed him quicker. He died as his ancestors had died. He appraised its weight as he lifted it into his bag and guessed that it might be fifteen to twenty pounds. His lungs were bursting and he tore off his jacket and cast away his shoes, for they began to burn his feet. Then carrying his bag in the left hand and his lighter revolver in the other, he turned to get back to safety,. His hands were blistered and his chest tortured him, but only a sense of happiness and triumph was in his heart. Everything had grown still and and the mouth of the gorge opened but ten yards distant when he stood a moment and looked down upon the skeleton of Benny Boss. It seemed to grin congratulations and Felice grinned back and tried to speak. But he found his voice was gone. He regretted the mattock which he had left behind him, for nowâ€" in safety, with his boat but 20 yards awayâ€"he told himself ,that it had been a seemly thing to bury his greatâ€" grandfather‘s bones under the clean cinders. But his strength was gone and he knew that the fiery fumes had injured him within. His breath came with difficulty and he thought of the quarter of a mile that separated him from the ship. Twelve hours had elapsed since Tom and had seen their friend when they set out to find him, and as light broke the ravage on the shore began to appear. A hundred yards from the strand they began to feel the heat and the men who rowed were fearful and appeared in the black beaches and there were visible movements, to. be appreciated by the eye in the contours of the island. The skyline : showsd actual motion and a gap had brok>n on the lip of the crater from which streams of lava poured. The flosdâ€" moved easterly and was responsible for the destruction of the fertile lands. In contrast with this ghastly scene ashore, the sea still remained calm, and it seemed that the order of nature was reversed while a dynamic earth tottered above a static ocean. Promising to return as swiftly as possible, the young men leapt ashore while Aylmer spoke to the sailors. You‘re quite safe here," he said. "The island‘s quaking, but the sea is steady. Give us twenty minutesâ€" no more. If we are not back in that time, we shall never be coming back and you can return to the ship." They protested at his folly and cried out that there was no need for others to die: but neither Maine nor Aylmer heard them. The gorge gaped ahead. and over a shakinrizx stand they ran together and entered it. Great noises thundered overhead and they could not hear themselves speak The volâ€" cano‘s bellow increased whils> new phenomena threatened, for the air was full of fiery cinders and falling debris from the cliffs. But this ordeal was brief and both their lives were spared by fortune of chance. A spectâ€" acle hideous enough awaited them, yet the apparition told them all they needed to know and set them free to accomplish their own salvation while time remained to do so. Beside the skeleton of Benny Boss another, clean and white. Only his bag and his two weapons remained close to his bones. He lay face downâ€" wards and the discoverers knew what had overtaken him. Tom looked upwards, but only to feel the rain of ashes like hot hail upon his face. The enemies were of the gorge where their ponderscus webs shrivelled and burned away. They made no stay beside their vanished friend and his ancient kinsâ€" man. Indeed Tom, with his feet on fire, turned and limped to the sea instantly: but Angus delayed one moâ€" ment and picked up Felice‘s bag. He arizued that if it was empty, then Parâ€" do had perished before reaching the cache; if it contained any new thing, then he had won his purpose and died upon the ijourney back. But he felt that the bag was weighty, stuck to it and followed Ayimer. The shore was shaking and splitting new but both men reached the water! together, waded out to the small‘er boat and boarded her. A length of rope separated the dinghy from the larger craft, and the moment they were aboard, the sailors began to row. The sea was getting up and a great wind rose out of the increasing dark ness; but it blew off shore and helped Dayspring was swiftly swallowed in night; yet they saw one terrific downâ€" fall before they reached the ship, for COPYRIGHT The Sun Is Great Healer It must come as a shock to many to be told that the rays of the sun may not only not be of help to everyâ€" body but can be actually harmful to some individuals. And if there is one disease where we have thought the rays of the sun were helpful, it is in tuberculosis. Dr. B. Hudson, London, in "Tuberâ€" cle" states that the sun is a powerful means of treating certain disorders, especially beneficial in cases of surâ€" gical tuberculosis and certain other chronic surgical conditions that are Sun bathing however may be used when of the surgical typeâ€"knee, hipâ€"â€" where the process is slow and just in the one place; it is also useful in chronic pleurisy when the process is quite slow. Unsupervised sun bathing can certainly light up (make it start again)_.an unsuspected tuberculosis spot on the lung. Sun treatment consists in the graâ€" dual exposure of the body to the lignt, not the heat, of the sun, and patients who are taking sun baths should pe surrounded by a circulation of free air. This is why sun bathing on the beach is so helpful to those who are free from _ tuberculosis. Sun â€" treatment should always be supervised and conâ€" trolled by a medical practitioner. The aim of sun bathing is not burning but tanning. Gradual tanning, not burnâ€" ing, is thus the keynote of the treatâ€" ment as severe burning really poisons the system. not tuberculous. but "patients with tuberculosis of the lungs should never be allowed to take sun baths, as they are definitely dangerous." When tuberculosis is of the sceattered typeâ€"different spots in the lung, and especially if the patient has "feverish" attacksâ€"exposure to the sun should be strictly avoided, as if is likely to spread the condition. However, even in tuberculosis of the lungs, when a patient whose progress is slow in becoming cured, sun bathing may be tried as it may give a little stimulus or increased action which, by stirring up the body"s defences, may bring about an earlier cure. Now the above information does not mean that the sun is not helpful beâ€" cause, as a matter of fact, we do not get enough of it. The sun builds up the blood by increasing the amount of iron in it, stirs up and removed conâ€" gestion everywhere in the body, preâ€" vents "rickets" in children, and raises the morale and well being of all of us. But, when active lung tuberculosis is present or any condition causing a rise of temperature, the patient should not be exposed to the direct rays of the l sun.

The men were rowing for their lives now with yet a hundred yards to go before they reached the ship Her steam was up and she only waited until they should return. A billow, set running by the fallen cliffs, caught and half swamped the boats before they could get under the Iguana‘s lee; but they made her as she was alâ€" ready beginning to move north. The lesser boat was hoisted first with Tom and Angus in it; then the pinnace followed and Costa signalled "full steam ahead" to the engine room. The captain‘s plans had long been made and his course determined. To Be Continued (by James W. Barton, M.D.) of PDour $ EChat Bobup ‘Looking for Couple ‘Who Disappeared on Thelr Wedding Day The anxious parents have enlisted the aid of the police at Lachine and also the Salvation Army there, and these in turn have sought the help of the police and the Army here in case the young couple have come to this district. In case the appeal of the parentsâ€" reaches the eye of the young girl, she should relieve the anxiety of her father and mother by immediately writing or wiring home. In case anyâ€" one else in Timmins or district â€"knows of the whereabouts of the girl, they should inform the local police or the Salvation Army at Lachine, Quebec, Major Cornthwaite being away on holiday this week. Apparently the atâ€" titude of the parents is that if the _ Major Cornthwaite, of the Salvation Army here, last week received a letter from the Salvation Army office at Laâ€" chine, Quebec, asking for assistance in location of Maude Moore, a sixteenâ€" yearâ€"old girl, who disappeared from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Moore, Lachine, Que., on June 10th, and has not been heard from since. On that day the girl was to have been married to Mr. George Wilâ€" bert Marshe, usually known as Bert. Apparently Marshe and the girl left }t.he home together at six o‘clock in the morning, though the parents had agreed to the marriage and there had been no difficulties placed in the way of the young couple. The only posâ€" sible reason the parents can imagine for the action of the couple is the fact that since the disappearance they have learned that the young man is a Roman Catholic, while they belong to the United Church and had expressed strong views against mixed marriages The girl had concealed the difference in religion from her parents. Not hearing from their daughter since Juwmmie 10th, the parents are now very anxious about her. In this issue they have inserted notices asking for the return of the girl to her home or word from her. They believe the couple may have come to Timmins, because Marshe on several occasions had menâ€" tioned the idea of coming to Timmins to get work in the mines. He had also it is gaid, been known to have studied route maps ana to have planned a route for reaching here. holiday this week. Apparently the atâ€" titude of the parents is that if the young couple are married they do not wish to interfere, but naturally in that case they would wish to hear from their daughter. In case the girl is not married, however, the parents require her return home as she is under age., Thae parents give the following descripâ€" tion of the girl:â€" MOOREâ€"Maude Amelia Moore; age 17 on Sept. 20th, 1939; weight, 118 pounds; height, @about 5 feet, (could pass for 18 years); hair, naturally wavey, colour medium brown; eyes blue. Miss Moore, @when she left home was dressed in blue woollen sweatet and skirt, brown coat with 6 big white buttons, rust felt hat (green band around it). She carried 2 purses, one rust brown, and one white, also a new aeroâ€"pack valise. George Wilbert Marshe is described as about 5 feet 5 inches in height, 23 years of age, dark (almost black) hair, combed straight back; was wearing brown suit and brown hat when he left Miss Moore‘s home. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of either of these young people is asked to communicate with the Timmins police authorities or the police at Laâ€" chine, Quebec, or the Salvatlon Army at.

Map Published by Toronto Newspaper Not a Fair One 4 (From New Liskeard Speaker) Last week the Toronto Star Weekly went to a great deal of trouble and some expense to print a gaily coloured map depicting the tourist areas of Ontâ€" ario. Besides the rest of the province they show the vast stretch from North Bay north with its attractions for the tourists as camping, hunting, fishing, etc., and in fact take in the country _Across the face of the map wide orange lines are drawn to depict the highways by which all these places of interest and sport may be reached, but to the amazement of all THERE IS NOT A HIGHWAY NORTH â€" OFP NCRTH BAY. Tourists desiring to visit Northern Ontario and using the Star‘s map as a guide are supposed to use "a magic carpet," or some other fantastic way of gettinig into the great northern tourist paradise. Lake Nipâ€" issing and other bodies of water are also quite clearly marked, but Lake Temiskaming looks more like a pond than anything else. Says Use of Salt Should be Encouraged in Heat right through to James Bay Residents in Northern Ontario are getting used to being treated in this manner. While a great improvement has been made in our one main highâ€" way since G.

For the benefit of The Star Weekly we state that No. 11 Highway runs from Toronto to Cochrane and points west, and also that Cochrane is NORTH OF NORTH BAY; and that the road was constructed in 1927. Here is proof that should disprove conclusively the popular misconception that salt is harmful to the human sysâ€" tem, that it causes hardening of the arteries, dilutes the natural lubricants in the body joints, and results in deâ€" posits of salt in the system, paving the way to rheumatic diseases. An article in the current issue of Oval, magazine of Canadian Indusâ€" tries Limited, reports that scientific studies by physiologists in leading laâ€" boratories have proved conclusively that salt lost through perspiration must be replaced to restore the necessary balâ€" ance, and the medical profession is in agreement that the use of sodium chlâ€" oride, or common salt, either in loose form or as small compressed: tablets, is a safe and successful method of counâ€" teracting or warding off the effects of excessive heat fatigue. Prompted by the general beliaf that salt was harmful to the human system, Safety Engineering, an authoritative American magazine, recently conductâ€" ed a survey among leading American medical authorities, and the following sentence sums up their combined opinâ€" ions: "Inasmuch, however, as the good that is done by salt tablets outweighs the conjectural harm that might occur " Pine St., North TWO OF HOLLYWOOD‘S$ @" 5 P A KR C LE NG «h.
