The Night-Blindness .'. . of Pierre Fontaine Tiy George Harlow Clnrk f III'.N Pierre Fontaine llllll Ciimilli! tlh.-i'iuette built l I tlioir cabin m the bank of M.M. I tin; i'.-avcr River, a trib- n tn r.v of tlio I'pper Ceorgo, in Northern Labrador, tin y looked forward confidently to a profita ble winter. Both had resigned only recently from tiio Hudson Itiiy Com puny's corps of voyaguers, and this was to be tlioir first season as Independent trapper. Kxcept for a few rovliiji Moutagnnis Indians, the district was quite uninhabited, hut inured to soli tude, the hardy young hunters wore not men to lament the dearth of neigh bors. Their store of pelts accumulated steadily. Early in the winter Pierre brought In a silver fox sUin, and later Cainllle socured a black one. Hut skins of the nmrten predominated. It was. In fact, what trappers term a marten year. Like the migratory enr ibon and their faithful followers, the wolf packs, these highly prized little nnlmnls occasionally forsake their reg ular habitat. Years, during which few or none are to bo found, may elapse before they reappear in numbers. g"TIs a rare run of luck, Tien-?," Raid Camlile, one evening in January. "If It holds, we shall have a fine freight for Fort Chimo w hen the ice goes out of the river." In April a serious mishap befell. Tor some time came hail been crowing source. Day after day the young men returned empty-handed to the cabin. The furs already procured surpassed in value their expectations, but their sup ply of provisions was nearly exhausted, anil they were dependent in large measure for food on the result of their hunting. F.xcept grouse and ptar migan, bird and beast alike had appar ently tied from that vicinity. Cnmille Ret out one forenoon to make the rounds of their longest line of traps, which extended northwest In the same direction as the river. lie expected to be gone two days. The route which it was Pierre's turn to follow, and which lay in the opposite direction, was or dinarily covered In half that time. Snow was falling when Pierre ar rived at the oiid of his line. Perceiv ing that a nevore storm was at hand, he hurried homeward at his best pace. Presently a blizzard was roaring vtirough the woods, and the driving snow-spray soon obscured the trail, compelling the trapper to seek shelter in a rocky den amid thick clumps of spruce. There he remained a prisoner for forty -eight hours, suffering intense ly with hunger, thirst and cold, before an Intermission In the gale permitted' him to proceed to the cabin. Camille wns not there! Filled with 'anxiety, Tierre was pre paring to scan li for his comrade, when he wns again storm-bound. It was not until live days had elapsed plnco Camille's departure that Pierre was enabled to start on his errand of relief. Hut his quest proved futile. No trace of his missing partner could he find. Stormy weather prevailed almost con tinually throughout April, keeping Pierre Indoors much of the time. Never beore In his t w enty-fonr years had In activity proved so hard to bear. The sorting and packing of furs furnished some occupation, but 1liis done, the hours fragged heavily. Hut except for an occasional pain in his forehead, no premonitory symptoms heralded the Singular alllietion that impended. One evening, shortly before the c" In the river broke an, Pierre was cut ting spruco for fuel near the door of his cabin. The sun had just dropped behind the bald hHls to southwest ward, when, as he stood Willi ax uplifted, something f'-enied to puss swiftly be fore bis eyes, blotting out th? waning daylight. Piewildi red, lie Jet his ax fall, and drew his hand across his fare, then blinked am! pcrcod about. Jtarklicss eneompased him. He was blind, ut terly blind. In fear and trembling. Pierre groped his way into the cabin and threw him self despairingly upon the bales of furs piled beside his bunk. Then, gradually taking h'-nrf, he tried to comfort himself with the hope that his misfortune would prove to be only tempora ry. "It Is the night-blindness:" ho cried. "It will paa away with the dawn." lie recalled cases, one of which he had himself witnessed, where others had been nll'lcted with that peculiar loss of fsiglit' which the voyageurs of the north term "night blindness." I!y day, the vision of those who suffer with the malady Is seemingly unim paired, but. when deprived ot sunlight they immediately become absolutely powerless to see. Some maintain that Hie satn conditions which produce that dread scourge of high latitudes, scurvy, Hre also responsible for Jhls curious visual trouble; but whether It in scor butic or not, its origin has yet to be satisfactorily explained. To poor Pierre, awaiting in deepest anxiety the dawn which was to reveal whether or not his sight was perma nently lost, that night seemed Infinitely fonpr. Suppcrlesii, he crept Into Ids Dunk, where he tossed hour after hour, starting up nervously at every sound. Cure he fancier! he heard Caiuille' olee. but when he strained his ears to listen, there was only the whisper ing of, the wind. A fcialr of smoke-colored Labrador Jays, chattering hungrily as they fltit-fc-red about the cabin, roused hlni. Opening his eyes, he (prang from his bunk with a loud cry of Joy. HI sight restored! 14 wss broad day. The frost jeweled 5?i s & & cm trees ami the h lctes pendent from the eaves nnd log of the cabin sparkled in the bright sunshine. As Pierre ob served the tiny clouds of powdered snow falling from the spruce boughs, where a Hock of crossbills were twit tering over their breakfast, he was al most persuaded that the experience of the preceding night had existed only In nightmare. Hut at sunset that evening blindness again assailed hlin. A week later the ic- on the river broke up, and the strong current soon carried It away. Waiting only unlli the high water had partly subsided, Pierre launched his canoe, freighted with Its precious cargo of skins, and b.-gan his voyage do wn-st renin to the trading post. When he pitched camp for the night, which he took care to do a full hour before sunset, he was but a couple of miles above the point where a small river enters the I! "aver. A winter en campment of a small band of Montag nais Indians was situated on the bank of this ;ri binary, near Its mouth, Pierre planned to pass It tarly on the following morning, hoping thus to avoid discovery by the natives. With ramille, who was well and fav orably known throughout the trlde. at his side, he would have encountered them willingly; but now. alone nnd practically helpless at night, he con sidered It poiitic to give them a wide berth. His furs had been collected in Montagnals hunting-grounds, and the tribesmen nfight declare him a tres passer and confiscate his booty, Riing with the sun. he rcsvmed his voy.ig". Paddling toathi'y in the shadow of the opp.-v-ite shore, he scanned the woods at the mouth of the stream. A thin smoke-wreath, above the 11-eetops Indicated the position of the Indians, but except that, he saw no sign of them. Toward evening he di scendeil the rapids above stoi:e P.eaver Falls. These derive their title from a huge mass of dark-colored rock, which at low water resembles the colossal effigy of a rout-bant beaver, upreared in mlf stream on the brink of the plunging flood which it divides. Hut now only the upper part of the spray-drenched, glistening back was visible. Otherwise unobstructed, the river drops In twin sheets sheer eighty feet, with an incessant crash audible for a great distance. A short reach of comparatively calm water Intervenes between the foot of the rapids and the falls. To the expert voyageur. shooting the rapids was not (lillieult, but the current below, where the waters gathered for their mighty leap, proved stronger than he had an ticipated. However, thanks to his skill, he gained the landing-place in safety. Th 'ii, disembarking, he emptied the canoe and drew it up on shore, prepar atory to portaging round the falls. The portage trail was at least a half mile long. Several trips would be nee-es-ary in order to transport canoe and cargo to the point of relaunching be low, and as it was then well on toward sunset, Pierre concluded to await the morning before beginning his task. Accordingly, carrying the canoe n few paces back from the water, he overturned it, and propping it up on edge, bestowed the bales of fur under it, thus providing comfortable sleeping quarters for ihe night. Having finished his frugal supper, he had .-topped to the edge of Uie river to dra-v a cup of water when, as he stooped to dip it lip, darkness overtook him. In turning to grope his way back to the canoe, he slipped and fell. The next instant he was In the rive.1, and ihe cold flood closed above him! Although dazed by the shock of his sudden immersion, ho rose to the sur face, and taking his bearings from the course of the current, he struck out manfully for shore. He was a strong swimmer, but the current was his master, and bore him rapidly toward the fulls, his frantic struggles serving only to keep his head above water. He had given up hope when, on n sudden, his outstretched hand touched a rock, the top 0r which rose a few Inches above water. As he was swept against It he instinctively Hung out his arms and clutched li, at the same time gripping with his knees the submerged end. There lie clung In momentary dread lest the swirling flood should wrench him from his hold and hurl him over the seething precipice close below. Then, with anxious care, lie dragged himself out upon the topmost part of the rock. The voyageur knew that It must be the great stone beaver on which he had found refuge. The banks at that point were vertical walls of rock, with no protruding spurs or boulders. The din of the falls was terrifying, and the huge rock seemed to tremble with their thunder. Presently, gathering courage, ho ven tured to wring some of the water from his dripping garments. Chilled and cramped though he was, fear of a mis step prohibited nn upright position. 8o, kneeling nnd crouching alternately, with an occasional vigorous Happing of tils urms, he awaited the break of day. At that latitude and season the night Is short, but to Pierre it seemed in terminable. On more than one previous occasion be had been perturbed by an Idea that his eyes might eventually remain sightless by day. Ha had al most convinced himself that this crowning misfortune hud at last oc curred when tlis Urdr sun appeared and dispelled the black shadow from before them. Ills first glance showed him that tin e.s help entne escape was impossible. A cry of despair Issued from his lips, but It was Inaudible above the clamor. From the tiny Island of rock the foot of the falls could be seen, but the short canon below, a deep gash in the rolling, pond-dotted bnrrens, was In plain view. Facing about, Pierre gazed wistfully up stream. There lay Ills canoe; food and warmth were there, close at hand, yet Inaccessible. The awful vigil of the past night had subtracted much from the sum of his endurance, nnd Pierre felt that his hours were numbered. Ills respite from quick death by drowning had left him face to face with the linger ing misery of starvation. The day wore on. No one found Pierre outstretched on tho rock, list lessly basking la tho sun, his head ach in;;. He hnil turned his back on the de clining sun and was staring aimlessly toward the rapids above, when a long .Montngnais canoe sped Into sight. Two others followed at short Intervals. As the third glided Into smocth water and swerved gracefully to the landing place. Pierre knuckled his eyes, be lieving them once more at fault. Sure ly the figure In the Ixw, flourishing ft paddle like one demented, could not be that of his lost comrade, Camlile! Stepping from the canoe, the white man scrambled up the steep bank to a spot from which he could look down upon the falls and the dividing rock. Then Pierre saw that It was Indeed Camlile, who, after waving his hand encouragingly to his astonished friend, rejoined the natives. A plan of deliverance was promptly devised and executed. One of the canoes, manned by stalwart volunteers, put out Into midstream directly above nnd In line with the rock on which Pierre stood. To guard against acci dent, a strong rawhide line, one end of which was retained by those on shore, was attached to the stern of the canoe. A line from the bow, cast by a dex terous hand, was soon In Pierre's grasp. Making it fast about his body, under tho arms, ho plunged Into the river, and was drawn up-stream to" tho canoe, which bore him safely to shore. A few words explained tho mystery of Camille's disappearance and his nr rival with the Indians. lie hnd gone astray In the blizzard, nnd had been at deatii's threshold when discovered by natives, who carried him to thelt camp. There he had been seriously ill. He had but Just recovered sufficient strength to travel and was about to return to the cabin when nn Indian boy had observed Pierre descending Jhe river. Camlile had induced the natives, who were intending to visit the trad ing post, to hasten their preparations, and they had set out in tho hope of overtaking Tlerre. Accompanied by their Montagnals friends, the rejoicing pair arrived at the fort without further mishap. There rest, change of diet and freedom from anxiety, with the perpetual daylight of midsummer, relieved Pierre of his an noying Ipfirnilty. Never since then, even during the long nights of the Lab rador winter, have his eyes caused him the least inconvenience. Youth's Com panion. The Age of AtlvertUIng. This is undoubtedly the age of ad vertising, and that It has been brought about by printing is an undisputed fact. Printing has created the field and this In turn has created the fa cilities to handle it in vast quantities. It would not have been possible In any other age of the world's history, be cause steam and electricity come In for their part. Hy these means dis tance Is annihilated and all communi ties are brought iuto closer contact. The printing press brings people of tho country towns Into the same com munity of thought and their require ments are made Identical with thos,p living In large cities, and buslti anl are built up by advertising that a sh t time since would have been lmpi. si hie. Catalogues by the million lire now sent Into the remotest parts of the country nnd almost over the whole world, offering all kinds of goods nnd merchandise, so that scarce ly any one, no matter how far his residence may be removed from the cities, Is left in Ignorance of what is going on In the commercial world. Then there is the newspaper nnd magazine which bring almost ns much Information through their advertising columns as enlightenment, in their ar ticles. That this Is true, one has only to contrast the difference between the cities and the country towns of twenty years ago with the same places to-day. The people are better dressed, their homes present a much different ap pearance and they have much the same characteristics as those found In the cities. This has been brought about by advertising and through the power of the printing press. It Is tho printing press that levels munkliid, bringing them all to a higher plnno and one of more Intellectual equality. The Register Max, in tho Progres sive Printer. llarerilturj I.oilBavlty.

In a box sat n woman whose ears were bedecked with n pair of un matched stones one a black pearl, the other a white one of equal size. There may have been some subtle symbolism attached to the wearing of Ihe oddities.

Mend It on the Inside of the glove with line cotton of the same color as the kid. Do not use silk, for it soon wears out. Never break oft your cotton, but cut it, so as not to draw your stitches too tightly and make the seam hard and uneven. When sewing a split In a linger seam Insert a finger into the glove and draw the edges together so that they meet, and that Is all; a ridge would not only be uncomfortable, but would look unsightly.

Art of Ilreailug, "It isn't a woman's clothes that make her smnrt, it in the way she wears them," declared one of the most fashionable dressmakers lu New York recently. "If she knows how she can take the simplest gown from a nondescript dressmaker and It will look as though it were Just over from Paris. On the other hand, If ho doesn't know Felix himself can't make her look well," says Margaret Mixter, lu the New York Telegram. That Is so true that every woman ought to study the art of dressing quite ns much as that of piano playing or any other accomplishment. It can be achieved by nny one who is willing to pay attention to details, and it Id this which Is the secret of French women's "air." No detail Is ever ncgluctud, and tho whole Is perfect. Tho most essential thing, without rt-hlch a gown becomes as a bag, is to hold one's self correctly. This means straight, with the abdomen drawn in and the shoulders well squarred; thou you have good form for the gown.

Always Interested nnd gifted in scien tific directions she chose the work of dispensing chemist ns the best fitted for future endeavors. After looking into this line of work more fully, however, sho decided against It, but ns chemical work still appealed to her sho enst nbout for an other opening. The Illinois Food Com mission having been established and in need of trained chemical assistants, it occurred to Miss Doggett that hero wns her opportunity. Tho novelty of a woman seeking the work in hand wus so out of tho ordinary thnt the gentle men nt the head of the commission were at first Inclined to turn tho fuir chemical expert down, but ns she had strong letters of recommendation they concluded to "let her try."
