Our Scrawny
People
Not all thin people are in actual
ill health, but undue thinness means
danger, and “scrawny” thinness
means the result of wasting, when
wrinkles and loss of strength as
well as loss of weight show that
something is wrong.
This something may be worry,
extra work.care of the sick, nervous
derangement, dyspepsia, bowel
troubles, or the first sign of the
onset of serious disease like con
sumption or kidney trouble.
How often we hear: “ She’d be
a pretty woman if she wasn t so
horribly thin ! ” It s too bad, for
most of these thin women are sick.
The best thing we have found
for thin people, whatever the
cause of the thinness, is \ inol.
It seems to nourish at once, and
also to start an appetite for good
food. It was a great discovery to
combine the medicinal properties
of cod liver oil with organic iron
in such a powerful and yet pleas
ant-tasting preparation, and we’ll be
glad to tell you how we got hold of
it, if you’ll call at the store. Any
how, if you are thin, and want
more flesh and strength, try a
bottle of. Vinol If you aren’t
pleased, we pay the money back.
Remember fat doesn’t create fat;
so you don’t need the greasy kind
of cod liver oil to increase weight.
Vinol is better and tastes delicious.

l,r | x* ’M! I'd like to see me!”
II The small boys looked at
Master Wat with admiring
eyes.
"you chaps ean go and he
taught by a burgher if you like, bat
not me.”
“Won't your father lick you. Wat?”
“Shut up! He's got no father, and
his mother never licks him.”
Wat walked off, with his nose in the
air, and just around the corner he ran
squarely into the schoolmaster who
was to talie the place temporarily of
the rngnlar"teacher, who had broken
his leg. Wat snWTed impudently and
would have walked past, but Jan de
Jongb put out a band to stop him—put
U out with diffidence, hesitatingly, a)
most as tin inferior might do.
"It is time for school, Master
Thoms,” said he.
"1 arn not going to school today.”
“And tomorrow?”
“Not tomorrow.”
"May 1 know why?”
\\ at looked to one side and another,
rather abashed, and then insol6ntly at
the young schoolmaster.
“White men,” said lie, “should not
be taught by—by black men.”
He ran away and did not see the
flush of anger and sorrow that red
dened De .Tough's olive cheeks! The
schoolmaster looked after him for a
second and then slowly proceeded to
open the school.
Tills happened in Natal, where are
many men of different races—English,
Dutch descendants. Portuguese. Ma
lays. descendants of the coolies
brought in old times from the East In
dies as plantation workers, and Kaf
firs. So there are many social ranks
and grades. Wat was ail English boy,
brought out to the colony when a baby,
and as the English rank highest in the
country and never would think of
mingling intimately with the other
races Wat, being only twelve years
old, had a rather exaggerated idea of
his own and his people’s^worth.
Jan de Jough was’not a black man.
though his skin was dark, like most
Italians. He was the descendant of
Dutch and Portuguese ancestors, who
long, long ago had owned the country
before the Englishmen took it as the
spoil of war, just as America today
has come into possession of the Phil
ippines.
Mr. de Jough was downhearted
Most of the boys were of English par
entage, and if Wat. their leader, re
belled he foresaw a falling off in at
tendance and the consequent loss of
his first position, his first stepping
stone. He was right. The boys, small
as they were, were impudent and un
ruly. and Jan dismissed the school de
spondently.
Meantime Wat..for sufficient reason,
did not go straight home. He doubted
his reception by his.mother might not
be altogether cordial and appreciative.
It was hot, as it usually is on the coast
of the Indian ocean. One advantage
the heat brings to the boys is that one
can go swimming any day almost all
the year round. Wat. wandering along
by the surf, soon felt the sun oppress
ive, and when he came to a cove
which he and his chums knew well as
a swimming place where the surf did
not break too violently he naturally
came to the conclusion that a bath
would be a good thing to break the
lonely monotony of the morning. He
was, like most boys in warm countries,
a first rate swimmer, and he had no
hesitation in plunging into the huge
Indian ocean even when quite alone.
He left his clothes on the beach near
some rocks without fear of pilfering
wanderers, for the cove was some dis
tance from the town and a spot where
few ever wandered. He ran in with a
dash, paused to catch an incoming
breaker just at the right moment be
fore it broke, dived beneath its crest,
swam vigorously under water for a
minute and came up puffing and blow
ing on the glorious swell of the waves,
with the sun glowing down upon him
in warm hearted approval.
Wat turned en his buck and let him
self be rocked luxuriously. One mo
ment he would be lifted up so that he
could look far out to sea or inland at
the vast extent of greenery, and the
next he was down in a great hollow,
with nothing before his eyes but the
cloudless blue above and the glassy
waters reaching up at his sides like
precipitous mountains.
“Poof—oof—ow!" cried the boy. “This
is better than a stuffy schoolroom, with
a lew burgher making you study the
Idiotic history of the country. He had
a cheek to think he could teach Eng
lish boys. I wish he was here, and I’d
teach him to swim. Wouldn't I duck
him? Oh, no! Certainly not!”
He was like a fish. He reveled and
played in the sea like one ot /ts own
Inhabitants. A home bred boy of a
colder climate, used to one or two
months’ swimming in the summer holi
days, would not” "have believed a
twelve-year-old youngster could be so
much at ease on the breast of the fath
omless ocean Wat struck out to deep
er water with a bold, swift side stroke
and soon was standing, monarch of all
he surveyed, on a great black rock
which broke the force of the waves as
they strove to dash, with headlong
strength, into the quiet cove.
As he stood there, with joyous eyes!
facing the ocean defiantly, as his
race’s eyes have done for centuries and
do today, sudden interest increased
their wide brightness. A quarter mile
out from the beach of the little bay,

but only half that distance from the
rock on which he stood, lay on a reef
the dark timbers of a recent wreck.
Wat remembered hearing of a little
bark rushing on the reef in a gale a
month ago, hut school and cricket had
prevented his going out to the cove
until now. At once he was filled with
the desire to explore, and without a
moment’s hesitation he plunged into
the deeper outside waters and swam
for the hulk. It did not take him long
to cover the 200 or 300 yards to the
wreck. When the vessel was wrecked,
monster waves, driven in by a land
ward gale, had broken over the reef,
but now the sea about the dead ship
was comparatively quiet, and on the
lee side Wat had no difficulty in climb
ing aboard.
Here were new and exhilarating de
lights of the rarest sort. To explore
strange corners, to stand waist deep
now the tide was out—in the skipper’s
own cabin and, poking about with fin
gers and toes, unearth strange things,
worthless now, but interesting; to peek
and pry with an excited heart in the
hope that he might light upon a won
derful find—perhaps treasure overlook
ed, perhaps— At the thought of per
haps seeing something ghastly, al
though he knew all the crew had been
saved, Wat suddenly felt lonely and
afraid. He ran quickly up on the bro
ken deck. He was startled to note
how long by the sun his walk and his
swim and his explorations had taken.
Now he felt hungry, and he knew it
must be long past time at his mother’s
house. Tiffin? He looked again at the
sun and the shadows of the rocks upon
the sea and calculated correctly that it
must be 2 o’clock and school would be
coming out in an hour.
Wat ran to jump overboard. His foot
was on the broken rail, and his hands
were raised to dive. In an instant he
would have been in the water, when he
staggered back, white as flour, shaking
at the nearness of his escape. Slowly,
with lazy complacency, with hardly a
flick of its great tail, there swam be
neath the boy most leisurely a great
shark. It moved about close to the
surface, its dorsal tin sometimes above
the water, like a sail, and its cold,
cruel, vicious, hungry eyes stared up
at the truant. Wat sank down, sick
and faint.
He had been foolish, worse than fool
ish. Time and again he had been
warned, with the other boys, about the
Wat looked cautiously overboard.
sharks, which, though they do not ac
tually infest these waters, are by no
means rare. The cove was compara
tively safe, but beyond it there was al
ways danger. It was the old story of
the wolf. “Shark!” had been cried so
often to young Wat that he paid little
attention to it. Now he was trapped.
After a time Wat got up and looked
cautiously overboard. The shark was
not there, but when he ran to the other
side it was there. The monster knew
his meal was safely cornered. Round
and round he swam, lazily and uncon
cernedly enjoying the warmth of the
sun near the surface. Wat was unable
to withdraw his eyes from it. It fas
cinated him as a snake does a monkey.
Now' and then the fish would roll over
ou its back, and then Wat would hide
his eyes, shuddering at the sight of
that hideous mouth and those gleam
ing teeth. Once, when tlie shark had
been on guard for an hour or more, it
paused at the seaward end of the
i wreck and then swam slowly outward.
Hope sprung in the boy’s heart, and
he slipped quietly to the other end, in
tending to glide noiselessly Into the wa
ter and strike out for shore. If he had
done so, he might have got safely away
while the shark continued to swim
about, thinking its prey was still there,
hut Wat had not the great courage to
risk it. He hesitated, and in another
two or three mhiutes it was too late.
The brute came back, and Wat fancied
as it resumed its methodical watch
that it looked up at him mockingly.
The truant grew hysterical with fear
and horror. He was quite able to real
ize his position. If he swam shore
ward. he would meet a certain, cruel
death, perhaps the most horrible of
deaths. But the cove and the hulk lay
far below the sea road, and between
that road and the ocean’ were great
masses of trees and jungle which shut
out the sea from land passengers. Not
once in a week perhaps might any om
seek tlsit secluded spot, while ships
passed far, far out. Thus there wa
little chance of speedy help and an al
most inevitable end by starvation and
exposure, for, although the days are
warm, the nights in Natal are often
cold, and Wat was naked to all the
chill winds of the sea.
