I can’t stand by and see my missis and young sters hungry.” Captain Douglas swore and bit tbe table with his fist. “It’s beastly hard," he said, “and I hate myself for bring Ing you here.” "What’s that noise overhead?’ said Kettle. “What are your crew doing on deck?” He tried to rise, but fell back stupidly on the sofa. A harsh bell I clanged from somewhere beneath, and 1 the slop slop of water came to him through the yacht’s side. "She’s 1 swinging round In the stream, and some one's rung 'standby* to the engine room." “Sounds like It,” tbe red haired man admitted. Again Kettle tried to rise and, with an immense effort, tottered to hls feet, but be had been given a drug too pow- erful for even hls Iron will to flght against, and he swayed and then pitched helplessly sideways to the car pet. The last flickering gleams of con sciousness were passing away front him, but the truth of what had bap- pened had flashed upon him at last. "Shanghaied!" he murmured. “By James, yes. shanghaied! That's what this means. Well, I pity the man that shanghaied me. By—James—yes!” lie breathed stertorously a time or two more, as though trying to get out other words, and then dropped off into a deathly stupor. Then the door of the stateroom creak ed slyly open, and the red haired mnu started violently. He turned and saw a tall, dark woman Just crossing the threshold.

Actor« to m l*rl«on ('ell. The course of true art does not al ways run smooth in Russia, as, for ex ample, in the theater of Yelizavetgrad. In the fourth act of a certain play there Is a theater within a theater, as In Shakespeare's “Hamlet,” only that some of tlie dramatis persona' have to mix with the public In the galleries and to hiss the chief actress, who duly faints. As soon as the gentlemen bad taken their places among the gods and begun to hiss and whistle the police man on duty came down upon them like a wolf on the fold, and before they could utter a word of explanation he and Ills colleagues "nabbed” two, re moved them by force and took them to the next police station, where they were charged with disorderly conduct at a public place. They protested that they had ouly done their duty, but tlie police laughed their explanations to scorn. The public left the theater en masse to see what was happening to the actors, lint the latter had already been consigned to the cells. The crowd In the street before the station house grew rapidly In numlM'rs, and Its noisy protests threatened to culminate In se rious disorders. Fortunately, the man ager of the theater appeared before the superintendent and by the light of a lamp declaimed, with manuscript in hand, the whole fourth act. in order to show that hissing was an essential part of the performance. Only then did the representatives of the law release the innocent actors. If purple walls and red tinted win dows surrounded you for a mouth, with Bo color but purple around you, by the end of thut time you would be a mad- man. No matter bow strong the brain might be, it would not stand the strain, and it is doubtful if you would ever re cover your reason, tor purple Is the most dangerous color there Is In its effects on the brain, which It reaches by way of the nerves of the eye. A splash or two of any other color in the room would save your reason for some time longer, but dead purple would kill you eventually as surely as would foul air. Scarlet Is as bud, but scarlet has a different effect. It pro duces what is called homicidal mania —a madness that drives its victim to kill hls fellows, especially hls nearest relatives. Even on animals scarlet has this effect It will drive a bull or a tiger to charge a naked spear. But purple, on the contrary, brings on mel ancholy or suicidal mania. Blue, as long as there Is no trace of red in it, stimulates the brain and helps it. but its effect on your nerves, if you are saturated with it and cannot get away from It, is terrible.
