One who goes traveling in search of thrills roaming usually doesnt find any until he gets back into his own bailiwick again. But there are exceptions to every rule and heres one of them. George C. Dorste of Bardonia, Rockland county, N. Y., met his biggest thrill when he was thousands of miles away from home and in a strange exotic country. The country was Egypt, and George landed there in the course of his travels as a fireman on a tramp steamer. The steamer was carry-lin- g scrap iron, unloading it in consignments of various sizes at ports along the Nile river and its many branches. The year was 1912, and the ship had traveled part way up the Nile and was anchored in the river just south of the town of Medinet El Faiyum. The ship was anchored not far from a pier. The weather is pretty hot in Egypt. In the afternoon, particularly, the sun beats down with such intensity that it is next to impossible for anybody but a native to do any work. It was at the height of the hot season, and the crew of the steamer, dripping sweat from every pore of their bodies, were just about all in. Along in the afternoon the skipper gave orders for all hands to knock off work for the rest of the day. The men didnt argue about that. Most of them just walked to the' i shadiest spot they could find on that hot ship, flopped on the deck and rested. But there were a half dozen young fellows George among them who had a better idea. They stripped off their clothes and dived over the side into the water. A Dandy Day for Lazy Sport. The water was cool and refreshing. Those lads were in it, off and on, for the better part of the afternoon. They came out, now and then, for a breathing spell on the ships deck, but the sun beating down on the iron hull of the vessel made it so hot that they were glad to get back in the water again. The afternoon wore on and the sun began sinking toward the horizon. As its scorching rays withdrew little by little, the day became cooler. One by one the swimmers climbed back aboard the steamer and stayed there. Finally all of them were out of the water except one. And that one man was George Dorste. George loved the water and he hated to leave it. He was swimming some distance away from the ships side, and about half-wa- y between it and the pier. As he splashed about in the river he heard a voice calling on shore and, looking up, saw a native standing on the pier. yond himself. Havelock Ellis. A mind, if it be open, may change with each new day, but a spirit and a heart is as unchanging as the tides. Owen D. Young. I have a feeling that, following its sojourn in Gethsemane, the world is going to emerge a pleasanter place to live in. Peter B. Kyne.

He Had an Influence On the Run of Stairs Ignorance Disappears An old German was being on the witness stand as to the position of a door, window, etc., and the general interior arrangement of a house. And now, sir, said the lawyer, describe to the jury just how the stairs run in that house. The man looked dazed and scratched his head for a minute before attempting to reply.

Then suddenly, he began to point toward the ship. George The great reptile was between him and the ship. , I could figure out only one reason for that pointing. He immediately jumped to the conclusion that someone aboard had dropped something 'over the side and wanted him to retrieve it. ' He turned and swam slowly toward the ship. The native on the pier kept right on yelling, but George paid no attention. And then, suddenly, he saw it a thing that looked like a log floating in the water, but a log that had a rough wrinkled snout and a pair of glassy eyes just showing above the surface!

V The great reptile was between him and the ship and not more than twenty feet away from him. A shudder went through Georges body when he saw it. He turned and began swimming toward the pier. But the pier was a great distance away or at least, so it seemed to George, He knew that beast could catch up to him in less time than it takes to tell the story. DOCTOR, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE SO GROUCHY. all the time ! ALL NIGHT f p. & . lie Looked Like Good Meal to Crocodile. He was swimming as fast as he could exhausting himself in a spurt for the pier. And the crocodile was following along behind. It seemed to George that the great reptile never approached any closer than that original twenty feet the distance that had separated them when he turned toward the pier. Was the beast playing with him, as a cat would with a mouse? Or was it waiting until George had exhausted himself in the swim toward shore before those cruel jaws opened and closed over him? Still swimming frantically, he reached the pier. And then another terrifying discovery greeted him. As he made frenzied efforts to climb up the piles that supported the pier, he found that he couldnt. Those piles were covered with a slippery moss. He could make no headway up them. And all the time, now, the crocodile was coming closer, swimming slowly toward what it knew must inevitably furnish it its evening meal. ' By now, George was mad with terror. He was still clawing and d scraping frantically at those smooth, piles, when the native on the dock came to his rescue. Suddenly, the native picked up a huge piece of scrap iron from a pile on the dock, and hurled it at the swimming crocodile. The piece missed. The native threw another and that one found its mark. It hit the beast on the snout, and it dived beneath the surface.

By ihat time a boat had been launched from the ship. It came tearing across the water as Georges shipmates pulled hard on the oars. It reached George a few seconds after the crocodile had gone down. As they pulled me out of the water, George says, I lost consciousness for a minute or two. But I came back to life be--, fore the boat had reached the ship in time to see the steely eyes of the crocodile which had reappeared once more. It was fol- lowing along, not more than ten feet behind the boat. And George says that if hed had a gun then, it would have given him the greatest pleasure to aim it right between those two glassy eyes and pull the trigger.
