OF GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter TTELLO EVERYBODY: Well, sir, the Vikings of old used to sail the seas in oared galleys that were hardly bigger than the motor cruis-er- s in which we plough through our lakes and rivers today Ill give them a lot of credit for their nerve. But they had oars to row with and sails to carry them along. They knew where they were going and they had a pretty good chance of getting there. Im betting a lot that there wasnt a Viking in any age who would have put himself in the spot Pete Gear of Sunnyside, L. I., found himself in. Not for any amount of ll color Ideal a Pattern ections used; of r coins pattern ilecraft money. It happened in September, 1927-- and heres how. Pete got a job on And one of the first trips that a coal barge. barge was sent on after Pete joined the crew, was a tow out to sea with a load of coal for a ship that was to meet them a hundred and ninety-fiv- e miles out in the Atlantic. The rendezvous at which they were to meet was southeast of Block Island. A tug was to take the barge out. Five men composed the barges crew. Four of those fellows Pete included had never been out to sea before. The fifth man was a regular sea-goin- bargeman. g York. i ie, Jupings nctures bal-- lly , width They Couldnt Find the Boat. On the afternoon of the day appomted, the tug came along and the barge was hooked on behind it. Pete says the trip up Long Island sound was like a moonlight excursion. But after they passed Montauk point, the sea was mighty rough. The four landlubbers immediately got seasick! It was a hard night for those lads but it was going to be a lot harder before they got back. The next day. when they arrived at the appointed spot, there was no sign of the boat they had come to meet. The tugboat captain told the bargeman to drop anchor and he would circle around and see if he could find the other boat. He cast off the tow line and the tug steamed away. Soon it was out of sight. There was nothing in sight, as a matter of fact, but water and more water. They were nearly two hundred miles from the nearest land. Then, half an hour later, a thick fog settled down over the anchored barge. heavi- - tyAI cottqn ie nee--lt Anchored in the Shipping Lane.

Otherwise we would most likely be run down by one of the liners which L. were continually passing through that part of the ocean And that wa,s only the beginning. The troubles crowded thick and fast after that. It was night now, and the bargeman EF? went aloft to hang a riding light. He was hardly up there when he fell to the deck and lay still, his leg broken. Mrs Then," says VV Fill Pete, the nightmare began." Dr Pete Had to Keep Ringing the Bell.

My daughter has a chance to marry a fine young man. and so far as her father and I can see, he is about as good a type for marriage as she is likely to meet. But she any says that he would not make her a good husband, and she treats him so badly. I wonder that he stays around. I wapt to help her but I need an outsiders opinion to help me first. W. Va. ANSWER There Is no such as a good husband for ANY thing girl. There are plenty of good husbands in the world but their efficiency is founded on the fact that they found the women best suited to them and that their wives love and adoration help to make them good husbands. But a man can be honorable and fine and a good provider and a tender loving companion yet bore his wife to death and make her restless and dissatisfied for the remainder of her life. Its not that he does anything wrong. It's just that he cant possibly do anything right for the woman who doesnt love him. If he is generous and sweet and kind, she despises him for being an easy mark and longs for the primitive caveman type. up and carried him to his bunk The other three in their bunks, the ghastly pallor of seasickness on lhelr faces- - When he had done what lltte he could for the injured man, Pete went out and started ringing the fog bell. The night wore on. and the fog showed no sign of lifting. Pete yanked away rhythmically on that bell, tolling a monotonous dirge. H.s arm was getting tired. His hand was chafing from its constant contact with the bell rope. Every minute he expected to see the bow of an ocean liner looming over the barge. Every minute he expected to hear a thud and a crash of splintering timbers as some huge craft cut them in two. Pete began to feel that he couldnt hold his arm up to pull that bell rope any longer. He went into the cabin and tried to rouse one of the seasick men Not one of them would get up Pete was seasick himself, but these Allows felt a lot worse. In vain he told them of the dangers of leaving that bell unmanned. They didnt care whether the barge went down or not In fact one or two of them hoped it would. pete dragged himself back to the bell. He was sick sleepy aching. But he couldnt quit. His life depended on it. And so did the lives of those other four men m their bunks. Dawn came, and still he was jerking away on that rope Still the fog hadnt lifted. All morning long all afternoon he stuck to his post Both his hands were so raw now that he lad to hook his elbow through the bell rope and pull it with his arm. Night came and still Pete was at it. Its wlio'e body was stiff now. He ached in every muscle and joint and bone. His arm was woiking mechanically now. He scarcely realized that he was pulling that cord. And for TWO NIGHTS AND A DAY Peter rang that bell. Never 'ill he forget the nightmare of that On the morning of the experience I'ird day he couldnt take it any longer He didn't quit. He just fell asleep-ri- ght where he was from sheer exhaustion. Found by an Airplane. When of locusts in not- - nc- nml lfW- I - ii Wen FURNITURE, etc., SALE W. H.

And unfortunately there are no active steps you can take, without upsetting the romance entirely. It is certainly tough to be a mere woman under circumstances of this sort, since it has always been womans lot to wait patiently and meekly until some great brute has made up his mind that she will do. No use kicking against the facts. Better to face them. However, woman Is a more complex creature than man and for that reason the tricks she plays on him are apt to work.

True she will not know the suffering and despair of utter poverty but if she has an imagination and the will to use it in the wrong direction she will arrange to have a special sort of suffering which will cast a blight on her marriage.
