TILLAMOOK WEEKLY HEADLIGHT, TH K i chai * ti : r iv . Brave Eric Iverson and a comrade hud lx*en absent six days upon the sea, searching for the lost man arid his son, and the people of Uedvvood town began to wonder if they, too, had not gone down to rise no more, li t the two men had taken water and j ro’ :sio:.s with them, and many who knew « f Erie’s t» !'<lor l.oart • ;ud it xv -ddl long er«* they returned could he bring no titling', to the sorrowing woma ■». and her children up there on the frowning head. No torm oj'H ; on^ a ■ >it and steady wind rolling the shining .swells forever outward. Day and night it bl- and i icociing schooner'; hod to make 1 ng tac’ :. t > ri *ht nn«l left that they mightenter the little harbor. Over the hut upon the clii? the, hours of dread and sharp expre t.iney had passed, and now the {flooin t‘u»t comes of settled, certain d ath 'ome I ere- p- ing on. The mother, torn with gri d and apprehension through the first days, could d > not hi ig. Shc'e-m -d to live day and night t‘i re at the edge of the precipice, with her hungry « yes sear ■•’dug the wide, mocking reach» s of the f.oa. But now she began to work and wash again., movin f about much like one in a saddening dream, Litth' Gai»*, t!:-»ngh her eyes would sometimes fill with tears, played with Lan.de and G ibe ' under the trees, happily forgetful 1 of the dark shallow of sorrow that lay upon the place. But Carl and Jlimny felt the cloud <f .sad ness about them, and much of the time v\. re silent. Theeld- r boy began helping his mother as Paul had done, and .Jimmy kept the children from the precipice and watched the azure circle of the horizon for Erie’s sail. It seemed to the poor mother that the rescuers would never return, and the blighted look grew in her face, and her eyes looked sunken and anxious as she lift 'd them hour by hour to the wide world of water. Other mothers, touched by pity, came to help the drunkard s broken family, bringing food and clothing, and a*, the time passed the. village babbled with dark prophecies of shipwreck for Eric, and conjecture as to the fatal phases of this strange race for life upon the sea. The men at Eric's wharf where be had l»e<*n foreman of the lumber loaders so long looked many times each day towards the west, tldnkingb of their absent lender, and w ives and mothers standing nt the get. s • >r in the doorways of the cottages upon the heights about the bay tho»:ght <»fi ?n of the lonely family over on the head, ami turned their eyes earnestly •towards th«' far horizon line. On th«'seventh day the wind shifted ami lulled, and just before sunset tho mother came wearily down the path and stood looking out upon the shining flood. Her heart seemed numb with longing. When would she wake from * this dreadful dream? The children were playing down on the Band below, and suddenly Carl gave a shout of joy; the mother looked up, and there, seeming not three miles away, was Eric’s boat! She gazed, trembling from head to foot. Yes, it was surely Eric’s boat, battered and with the sails patched ami torn. Breathlessly she hurried down ami came among the children, where, whis|M»ring ami « linging to each other’s hands, they waited at the water's edge. Just when the sun ▼» as sinking Eric’s yacht swept through the mouth of tho little bay. The children held their breath, and the mother strained her pule face outward. Siu* did not sec the meu waving their hats up at tho wharves, nor tho wives and mothers w telling from the yards and doorways about the bay. The boat was all thvio was in the world to her. llow slowly it came! Was Truvo ami her lame ln»y there? That was Eric’s face, and tlusre was his brave companion. Wlmt other object was that lying on a litter in the bow? The woman shook as with an ivme, but even while she trembled and questioned tin* boat rounded on tho glas .y lh'l«l an I swept up to the land ing by the head, ami Eric, battered and w orn, leaped out and made it fast. But (he woman did not see him; she wns clinging to the side of the boat ami straining her eyes down up»n that mutlled tigure in the bow.

In a moment, in answer t«» her calling.

A Iw.t of -.a t.7 disease and aeath. Iht survivors have new ci nciv reason to rejoice. About seven years ago the La Grippe visited various sections of the country in.its deadly might scattering disease and death among its hosts of victims. Most of those afflicted who escaped death then, have lived on in suffering, broken in health and ambition; for the ¡get after-effects of this disease are dangerous. a A large portion of the survivors have ’ feeling of oppression in the chest, A little exertion causes a violent action of the heart, described as 44 palpitation.” There is mental anxiety, depression, blueness of the skin, indicating impaired circulation of the blood. The sluggishness of its circulation im pairs the functions of most of the organs; the stomach and intestines fail to perform their work, while the appetite and diges tion become seriously affected. This complaint has baffled eminent physicians and exhausted the results of pharmacopoeia. Recently, however, a means for a cure has been obtained. Among those who have been restored to heilth by it is Herman H. Eveler, of 811 W. Main Street, Jelfer.cn, ?4o., a resident of that city for thirty-eight years, well known as a successful contractor. He was one of the victims of the **Grippe” seven years ego and has since bee n troubled with its after-effects. 44 That he lives to-day,” he says, 44 is due to a remarkable occurrence. 441 was taken with a malady just after the u Grippe ’f visited this section and caused so i Oregonian u many fatalities about seven years ago. “I vzas troubled with shortness of breatn, palpitation of the heart and a general de bility.
