THE CHILDREN'S
HEROISM
Br F. A. MITCHEL
Copyright by American Press AMO
clatlon, 1111.
The Breton coast of France la a wild
but very beautiful region. Artists go
tbere to get subjects for their pic
tures. which they find not only in the
scenery, but In the simple peasantry
which lives there. On that coast are
lighthouses such as really protect
ships from going ashore In every civi
lized country.
One of these lighthouse* was recent
ly the scene of a story—a real story
such as few authors of Action can In
vent, a story full of pathos, of hero
ism. of a great work In protecting the
lives of many who were sailing or
steaming over the ocean unconscious
of what was going on under ths light
in the dwelling portion of this light
house the keeper lay dying. He had
that morning been la his usual health,
but was suddenly taken ill. Never
theless he kept at his work of prepar
ing the light against the evening. His
wife knew nothing about the lampa or
the machinery by which they were
made to alternately shine and disap
pear. His children were a boy and a
girl—the boy nine, the-girl eleven years
old. There waa no one near the light
house to call upon to take up the light
house keeper's duties when the night
came.
Nor was there any doctor that could
administer to his physical aliments.
The keeper grew worse. Still be kept
at his work till the afternoon when he
was obliged to give up and go to bed.
He bad cleaned the lamps. Oiled them
with oil and In every way got there
ready to be lighted, bat either he had
not had time or the strength to wind
up the great weights that* turned the
machinery, causing the revolutions—
revolutions by which the light was
made to flash.
When night came on the keeper was
drawing his last breath. His wife
was praying by his bedside; bis chil
dren were standing wondering at this
their first sight of deatb—death that
made their mother a widow and them
fatherless. Tbere were a few long
breaths, the Intervals between them
growing greater, a rattle in the throat
and tbe keeper was dead.
As soon as tbe widow could suffi
ciently recover from tbe death scene
she thought of the lives that might
be wrecked from her husband's being
thus suddenly taken away from bis
work of protection. It was a danger
ous coast Skippers bad been used to
seeing the light and counting the sec
onds between Its flashes, and then they
knew where they were. If it failed to
shine they would run out of their
courses. >
The widow roused herself, and, tak
ing ber children vrtth ber, went up into
the lighthouse. She lighted the lamps,
but she could not make tbe machinery
revolve. A light that did not flash in
tbe place where a flashlight should be
would be as misleading to sailors as no
light at all.
The little girl placed herself at tbe
revolving apparatus and found that it
turned easily. She pushed it around,
making the circuit under ber mother's
direction in the time it was used to
revolve, then she said to her mother:
"Mamma, go back to father. We
children will turn tbe machinery and
make tbe light flash."
So the mother, wbose grief, more
keen than tbat of childhood, sapped
her power*, went back to the bedside
of her dead husband to pray, tearing
ber children the only barrier between
lives out on the ocean and the rocks
that were ready to engulf them. .The
girl turned till she was tired, then Iter
little brother took up tbe work. When
he became tired she relieved him.
And so the children worked on while
their father lay dead below and their
mother prayed bealde him. And the
captains and the aallors on the vessels
that passed, coming and going, looked
at the light apd wondered that it now
lost, now gained, a few seconds. And
persons In their berths below slept
soundly, not dreaming tbat they owed
their llres to a girl of eleven and a
boy of nine.
Midnight passed, tbe small hours of
tbe morning came, and the children,
tolling on. began to think of the rest
that day would bring tbem. How
they, especially the boy, kept awake is
a marvel. And now a faint Vat wel
come gray streak appears in the east
A dim outline of the uneven land be
gins to be apparent But tbe children
work en, turning, ever turning. What
though tbe interval between tbe flashes
lengthen as their little legs grow hard
to move and their atepe shorter! The
dawn lightens, the white breakers first
grow plain, then the black promon
tories against tbe sky, then both land
and ocean.
"Mamma." called the girl, "may we
not stop now?"
"Yes. my child; it is light Tbe sail
ors can aee where they are wttbeut
you children to tell tbem."
There come peraona who bar* heard
this story of heroism and ask to see
tbe Utile bero aad heroine. They And
a family unconscious of having dons
anything remarkable: Tbe children
open tbeir eyes and wonder what It
means. Tbey only turned tbe appara

Milk fever is Invariably confined to

due to the high production of milk
and to calving, and the symptoms are
very easily determined, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Usually tbere Is a sudden
loss of voluntary movement and dull

stall. When the cow attempts to
move her steps are unsteady and she
often staggers. She will not notice

"Cardui Cured Me" I
For nearly ten years, at different times, Mrs. Mary Jinks I
of Tread way, Tena, suffered with womanly troubles. She I
says: "At last, I took down and thought I would die. I I
could not sleep. I couldn't eat I had pains all over. The fl
doctors gave me up. I read that Cardui had helped so I
many, and I began to take tt, and it cured me. Cardui I
saved my life] Now, I can do anything."
CARDUI WON&NIC I
If you are weak, tired, worn-out, or suffer from any of I
the pains peculiar to weak women, such as headache, I
backache, dragging-down feelings, pains in arm, side, hip I
or limbs, and other symptoms of womanly you I
should try Cardui, the woman's tonic ' Prepared from per- I
fectly harmless, vegetable Ingredients, Cardui is the best I
remedy for you to use, as it can do you nothing but good. I
It contains no dangerous drugs. It has no bad after-effects. I
