riage; exercises to strengthen front

ercises to stimulate heart and lungs;
slow leg movements to normalize
heart action and finally breathing ex-

These exercises were introduced

go, and I didn't lUtp to refuse. To Htay
behind with the jrlrl I hfld r ihbed him
of seemed to add to my < onteuiptlble
conduct. 1 consented to go.
"■\V« started ftt 4 o'clock the nest
morning, taking axes and a rope for
making difficult passages. We climbed
over those places that from here look
a trifle rough up there—we found them
at times Impassable—proceeding on
our way till noon. Then we stoppeil
and ate our lunch, after which we
started to put In another hour on the
upward course before returning.
"Coming to a crevasse perhaps six
feet across, we determined to Jump It.
We fastened the rope about our waists,
and Rob Jumped first. The other side
wa* steep and somewhat soft, but Bob
after some stamping and cutting with
his ai got a foothold. Then 1 jumped
and struck snow. 1 felt myself going
backward and tried to get a hold on
projecting ice with my ax. I failed.
Bob saw what was coming and braced
himself for the shock. 1 went over."
Another pained look came to the old
man's face.
"The rope held. Bob was dragged a
few feet and then got a firmer foot-
hold, but a precarious one. There was
no possibility of his pulling me up,
and If the strain continued I would
soon drag blm over. We talked to-
gether about the prospect, he trying to
encourage me. 1 knew 1 had to go to
the bottom and It depended upon me
whether or not 1 dragged Bob with
me. I'd done one mean act toward
him, *!id I couldn't bring myself to
drag him down with me, especially
when It wouldn't save me. I put my
hand In my pocket, took out my knife
and, breathing a prayer that my soul
should be received In the other world,
cut the rope."
Another pause. 1 saw my uncle
shudder.
"I heard something between a shriek
and a groan from Bob. To my aston-
ishment, 1 fell only about thirty feet
and landed In soft snow. I was burled
up to my armpits. Of course I called
up to Bob that I was all right, and I
shall never forget the 'Thank God'.'
I heard him utter.
"Well, there 1 was, stuck lu snow at
the bottom of a crevasse, with no
means of getting out. The rope wasn't
long enough by half to reach me. Bob
of course was enabled to secure his
own position, or, rather, to jump to
the other side of the crevasse. He
Jumped safely, and we held a parley.
There seemed nothing to do but for
him to go down to the hotel for assist
ance and a rope, fortunately some
one there was wate'hlug us through a
glass, saw the accident and met him
on the way. lu the middle of the aft-
ernoon 1 was draw n up."
We sat for a few moments in silence,
1 overwhelmed with the utter absence
of consciousness on the part of my j
nncle of his heroism; then 1 said
"What did your friend say about
your cutting the rope?"
"He never thought to examine the
cut. He supposed the rope had bro-
ken."
"And didn't you tell him?"
"No. What was the use?"
Again 1 was k>st lu astonishment.
"And the girl?" I asked presently.
"Oh. the girl: Well, she fooleol us
both."
"Uncle." I said after another pause.
| "If you were conscious of being a hero,
; I suppose you wcmldn't be one."

I O. E. Hall, Purcell, Okla., says:
"Our two daughters suffered from
kidney trouble since childhood. They
were bothered by too frequent pass-
ages of the kidney secretions and no
remedy that was tried seemed to
have any effect. Last spring 1 procur-
ed a box of Doan's Kidney I'ills and
the remedy was used according to
directions. Prompt relief followed
and before long the kidneys were re-
stored to a normal condition. Since
then the children have been entirely
free from kidney trouble."
