The motion being carried, Mr.
JJockwell pondered a few moments
and said:
"I ain of the opinion that all mem
bers of the Social Island Colony
should serve on the committee on
housekeeping. If the work is shared
by all. the task will 1m- light, but if
it devolves on one or two men it will
be mere drudgery. I am going to
appoint Mr. I,. Sylvester Vincent as
general superintendent of the Social
Island bungalow, and of all the lands
and game preserves thereunto ap
pertaining. He will have full author
ity to call on the services of any
member not employed at the time
on other duties, and in case of dis
pute the president will render a
decision. I'hc president will also be
subject to Mr. Vincent's authority
in th«- matter of household duties.
It will be accepted as unwritten law
that each member mttsl keep his
own room in order. Mr. Vincent,
will you accept this commission?”
“Yes, si r or Mr. President,
rather,” said Mr. L. Sylvester Vin
cent. )|e was delighted with the
title of general superintendent and
by th** extent of his authority.
‘1 shall appoint Mr. Ilaiiiinond
chairman of the committee on ex
ploration.” said Mr. Rockwell. “He
will be assisted by Messrs. Kent and
Pence, both of whom are great ex
plore rs.”
“I don't want to explore.” protest
ed Mr. Pence. “I would prefer to
go oil some other committee.”
“ I he chair will accept no resigna
tions,” said Mr. Ihickwcll, and he
hammered on the table with a ruler
to indicate that the iptestion was
j settled. "Mr. Andrus t'annody will
be chairman of the committee on
escape; Mr. Morton and Mr. Haven
will serve with him on that commit
tee. The president volunteers his
services on any and all these com
mittees. Is there any other business
before the meeting? If not we
stand adjourned, subject to call at

It began to rain during the fore

postpone an expedition lie had
planned, in which lie proposed to
follow th** brook to its source, which
lie calculated would lie the highest
point of land on the island.
OIAI'TKR XVI.
AN KXl’LOHATIOX.
Thursday was a perfect day after
the storm. The air was fresh and
• oo| from the ocean. Sidney was up
at an early hour and took his ob
servation of the time of the sunrise.
It was Mr. Kent’s turn to get break
fast. and lie did himself credit. In
the meantime Sidney had been pre
paring for tin* exploration of the
island, lie looked over the stock of
guns and selected a rifle and a shot
f>un. II** found these weapons in
fairly good order, lint oiled and
cleaned them carefully, and tested
both several times.
If was about eight o'clock when
Sidney ami Mr. Kent disappeared in
flu- thicket through which tin* brook
took its course. Mr. Pence had been
| detailed to explore the north shore
j "f the lake, and from tin* expres
sion of his face lie did riot relish
the task.
ii« 1« mis<*<i to fak«* ;i jfunt jin#*
armed with ;i heavy eluh set out on
whfit he refill-dec I ii most dungerous
expedition. It u;is low tide, and the
heaeh was clear of water to the
frowning rocks which formed the
gateway to "Morton’s I'.av.”
I-or the first quarter of an hour
Sidney and Mr. Kent found it fairly
easy to follow the course of the
brook. \ trail had been cut along
the winding hunk the preceding
i ear, hut such is tin* virility of
tropical vegetal ion that already it
was w ell-nigh closed. On both sides
was a .jungle so dense as to be ini
pellet rable.
At tin* end of all hour’s hard
work they came to a cleared space
and found where tin* dam had been
built across a gorge* between two
rocks. The dam was about 12 feet
in height. Above was tile reservoir;
a lake* covering perhaps 20 acres of
ground, from which the timber had
been denuded. The character of the
forest around this artificial lake* was
far different from that through
which they had passed. It was more
"pen. Instead of the jungle of
chaparral. Spanish bayonets, and
other forms of thorny plants, brush
and tree, tin* plateau on which they
now stood was a noble tropical
forest a veritable park with glades,
rocks, picturesque ravines and gen
tle hills.
“This -,s more pk,. jt •• saj,| s-|(|_
ney as they took a seat on a rock
beneath the spreading branches of
a magnolia tree. "If the rest of the
island is like this our task i*. an
ea>ty and pleasant one."
I heir view was mu* to entrance* a
po- t. They were at the edge of a
glade covering nliout -to acres. Here
and there a rock showed above the
waving grass and flowers, hut other
wi-e i he vista was unbroken.
“ I bis is a superb spot.” said Sid
ney. "Ilid you ever see such flower

especially in Yucatan. I wonder if
I can scale those rock-?**'
“I know that I cannot.’* said Mr.
Kent as he sat down on a boulder.
"<•«» ahead and I will stay here and
wateh you.”
It was a hard elinih, but Sidney
nuule it. He stood at last directly
over the waterfall. Wit In ut stop

before him. lie phinged into the for
est whieli sloped upward. It prew
thieker as he advanced. Suddenly
he came to a solid mass of trees
and brush, wmen into a thicket s0
dense that no animal larger th*n
a rabbit eonld penetrate it for a
vard. Sidney walked along tin* edge
of this junj'le for half a mile or
more, but his search for an opening
was stopped 1i\ the fact that the
vegetable barrier finally extended
to the edge of the elitr. The ex
plorer then selected a tall logwood
tree, and after a hard struggle
“shinned ' up to the lower branches
and climbed nearly to the top. Kroin
this elevation he had a fair \iew of
this part of the jungle, but eoiihl
only guess at its extent. He found
that it continued unbroken to the
top of a hill fully a mile away, and
beyond he made out the outlines of
other and higher lulls, probably four
or live miles away.
Sidney Hammond was not unfa
miliar with sin-h jungles, having
encountered them in the mountains
of New Mexico, but those northern
thickets were not to be compared
t<> the tropical mass which now run*
tronteil him. He s;it in the branches

he reali/eil it was hot. and at the
yame moment the sound of two shots
came from the valley, lie was fear

A Young- New York Lady Tells
of a Wonderful Cure: —
“ My trouble was with the ovaries ;
I am tall, and the doctor said I grew
too fast for my strength. 1 suffered
dreadfully from inflammation and
doctored continually, but got no help.
I suffered from terrible dragging sen*
nations with the most awful pains low
down in the side and pains in the back,
and the most agonizing headache*.
No one knows what 1 endured. Often
I was sick to the stomach, and every
little while I would l>e too sick to go
to work, for three or four days ; I work
in a large store, and I suppose stand
ing on my feet all day made me worse.
“At the suggestion of a friend of
my mother's I began to take Lydia
E. l’inklinin's Vegetable Com

I felt better after the lirst two or three
doses : it seemed as though a weight
was taken off my shoulders; I con
tinued its use until now 1 can truth

Sick as 1 was, it was easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So
I got up after a few days, and let
the girl go. I had noticed that she
had sores on her fact*, hands and
arms, but I paid no attention to that
until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself, lie was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie* was fret

teeth, I didn't think much of that.

everybody knows that that is quite
common with teething babies. Sev
eral of my others had it when little,
and I thought nothing nbout it.
Hut the rash on t harlics poor
little faee spread to his neck, chest,
and buck. I had nevt r seen any
thing quite like it before. The skin
rose in little lumps, and matter
cam * out. Mv baby's skin was hot.
and how lie did suffer ! lie wouldn't i
eat, and night after right I walked
the floor with him, weak as I was. I
Often I had to st<*p because 1 felt j
faint and my back throbbed with 1
pain. Hut the worst pain of all was
to sec my poor little boy burning
with those nasty sores,
" I believed in* had caught some
disease from the girl, but some of
the neighbors said he had eczema,
ami that is not catching, they told
inr. V es, I gave him medicine, and
put salves and things on him. I
don't think they were all useless. j
Once in a while'the itching seemed j
to let up a bit. but there was not 1
much change for the bettor until a i
lady across the street asked me why I
I didn't try the Cuticura Kcmcdics.
I told her I had no faith in those
things you read about in the papers.
She said she didn't want me to go
on faith nor even to spend any !
money at first. She gave me some
Cuticura Ointment—I think the
box was about half full — and a
piece of Cuticura Soap. I followed i
the direct ions, bathing ( harlie and
putting that nice Ointment on Ilia
sores.
1 wouldn t hnvc believed that
inv baby would have been cured by
a little thing like that. Not all of a
sudden, mind you. Little by little,
but so surely. Charlie and I both
pot more peace by day, and more
sleep by night. The sores sort of
dried up and went away. I shall
never forpet one blessed nipht when
I went to bed with Charlie beside
me, as s<w>n as I pot the supper
dishes out of the way and the older
children undressed ; when I wok©
up tin* sun was streaming in. For
the iirst time in six months I had
slept through the night without a
break.
“ Yea. that fnt little hoy by the
trimlow is Charlie, and his skin is
»s white as a snow flake, thank . to
tin* < utieurn Remedies i think
everybody should kfiow aliout tin*
Soap and nlso the Ointment, and if

with sick hahies. po ahead and nub*
liPh what I have told y ou.”
