The Great Channel Swim
Burgess' Endurance and Vitality—
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17гm, 1912.
It is the big success, the great deed itself, that proves the wisdom of Burgess in employing Phosferine to provide the endurance and energy which enabled him to swim the Channel. To Phosfering the mighty Yorkshireman owes it that he has achieved more than any other living man, for on this bistoric occasion he used Phosferine to prepare for his daring and thrilling 23 hours' swim! Comparing his triumph with his previous failures, Burgess declares that the unlimited nerve force derived from Phosferine furnished the endurance to finish his swim successfully this time. Obviously Phosferine was the making of Burgess great deed, and alike with other innumerable victors who have achieved renown by the invigorating aid of Phosferine, he frankly declares that Phosterine alous provides the force and vitality necessary for continuous mental and physical exertion.
How he made success sure.
Mr. T. W. Burgess, 36, Dover Road, Walmer, Deal, writes: "I am very pleased to place on record my keen appreciation of Phosferine as a nerve and muscle tonic of the highest order. I have proved from experience the unfailing efficacy of this admirable remedy, and in preparing for this special demand upon my energies, it has been of incalculable benefit to me, and its recuperative effects immediately after my successful Channel Swim were excellent. Its sustaining and strengthening properties are very marked, and for nervous breakdown and feats of physical endurance I consider Phosferine is indispensable." Sept. 7, 1911.

As she went on to the stage, Florence The Hayton, who was standing near Castro, thought he'll spoif your features for you some night if you drive him too far.”
"There's Rose's young man here again,” she said to Castro.
ROSE THOREAU'S TOAST." During luncheon there was some con straint; Geoff was ill at ease, Mub was silent, Rose talkative, making the most of her opportunity, and taking champagne as though she liked it. She and Geoff were the only patrons of the sparkling wine.

He looked across at Mab, whose eyes were averted. Did she know of his engagement?

"Glad you like it," said Geoff. *Someone had good taste; who is respon sible for the arrangements?"
"I think I am," said Susie; that is probably why my father gave the contents of the house to me."

Rose sipped her champagne: the mald kept refilling her glass.

Afterwards Geoff drove Rose back to town the visit had not been as great a success as she had hoped. Susie had not asked her to come again, and this put her in an ill humour, from which Geoff suffered. Hy began to think she was exacting-very differ ent to Mab Seymour,
"Who is the little girl-your sister's friend?” asked Rose.
Mab Seymour."
"I don't mean her name. Where did you pick her up
"I didn't pick her up," said Geoff crossly. Did you meet her in England?" asked Rose.
"I saw her at a cricket match, and once coming out of the theatre," he said. "What's she doing out here?"

Not exactly they are great friends; Mrs. Kirkton is more like a mother to her."
She's fond of you," said Rose. "Nonsense laughed Geoff.
He turned on her savagely.

"I think I know another," she said. "Who?"!

It was a thrilling finish. At the end he placed his hand at the back of her waist, and appeared to hurt her off the stage. She was so, exhausted she fell upon Geoff, who caught her in his arms as Castro slouched off, hum- itming both hands in his pockets.
Oh, yes she is. I saw it at once. She nearly fell over when I told her we were engaged,"

Are you Jealous of her?" asked Geoff smiling.
What an absurd question? How could I possibly be jealous of a bit of a chit like her?" I could be jealous if anyone tried to take you away from me."
་
"Do you really care for me, Rose?" he asked,
Of course I do; I'm going to be your wife."
"That does not always follow," he said. *I would never marry a man I did not love."
When he put her down at the hotel she said:
"Come round and see me to-night.". "On the stage?"
"Yes. You know Reg?"
"Oh, yes."
Reginald Baltimore was the Manager of
the Strand Opera Company.
"Then I shall expect you," she said, as she went inside.
As he drove away he did not see Castro Quinto, who scowled after him, muttering curses under his breath.
Mab remained with Susie all afternoon. They exchanged confidences. Susie told her she had no wish for Geoff to marry Rose Thoreau, and said she was sure they would not be happy.
May I ask you a question, without being impertinent ?" said Susie.
You could not be unpertinent. I sure," said Mab smiling.
"Do you like my brother?" said Susie, Mab hesitated, then said:
Yes, very much indeed."
"He's a brute," said Geoff.
"It's all right," panted Rose: "it's part of the business, my boy. He never danced better. He's splendid.
Again and again they appeared on the edged the volleys of cheers. After the per stage at their respective wings and acknow formance, Rose said to Geofi:

It will give me pleasure," said Castro. Reg Baltimore was pleased. He was glad Castro and Miss Thoreau were on good terms again. He had sometimes been unable to ensure peace between them. He was friend- ly to Geoff in conséquence.
"Didn't he dance splendidly to-night?;" said Rose.

Castro watched her, his eyes gleaming. He knew she was about to spring a surprise on them. What was it?
I am so glad," said Susie, so very glad. He is infatuated with this woman, that is all; he does not love her. Before she came to Sydney he was always pleased to be with you. You must help me to save him from her. Will you ???
How can I?" said Mab.
Leave it to me. I have not known you very long, Mah, but I wish Geoff was in love with you, I think he is, if he only knew it.
Mab smiled a little sadly as she said: "I do not think so,
