One lwags from his motherâ€"a proper moth- erly epistle, ca‘uti‘oning the youngster against wearing wet clothes and eatâ€"y ing too much. “Change your clothes ‘every time you get wet or damp,” it ,read, “and do not stand around in the lrain. Stay in the cabin when the {storms come, etc.” Shorty smiled. lWhat would his mother have thought gif she had seen him hanging on to {the mainâ€"rigging and being deluged 'in the seas and soaked to the skin; ofi being “run under” on a bowsprit; of living continually in wet clothing? Poor mothers! What‘t‘hey don’t know won’t hurt them, and it is just as well for their peace of mind. A number of short letters from Carrie Dexter oc- cupied his attention nextâ€"letters full “of girlish chatter: of the minister, of Wi from taJia‘ iea's, dances, weddings, and dress, and concluding with a line of crosses which made the boy smack reminiscent llp'S.

"Dis 3 Novy we’ll The trox Not Canny Enough An exp-edition was movin reputedly unexplored Afri‘ It was a great college for the boy, this rollicking sea town collected for a short space from the various shoal- water “spots” of the Western Ocean. From the ice-piled beaches of the deso- late, rockbound Labrador they came: from the trafficâ€"ploughed waters of the “Channel” and the tide-rips of Nantucket Shoals; the treacherous Banks of Georges; the ledge-strewn Cape Shore of Nova Scotia; and the misty, tide-ruled waters of the Bay of Fundy. With Newfoundlanders, silent, rough, and hairy; Portuguese from Lisbon and the Azores, swarthy, earâ€" ringed, black-haired, and volatile; Boston Irish, rud‘d‘y, ready-tongued, and strong with the burr of the Gal- way and Connemara broguve; and a strong sprinkling of Nova Sections from S'helburnre, Yarmouth, and big- by counties, the various crews constiâ€" tuted a cosmopolitan gang who talked and yarned in their varied dialects upon one common topicâ€"the forty- fathom gossip of the great seaâ€"world of fish. They marketed their fresh fish in Bosrboln, running into T. Dock and herding with the crowd of able mar; ketmen which ranked two and three deep at the wharf. Here Frank met many men and learned many things. He kept tally of the “outâ€"turn” when unloading their catch, and saw how the fish were graded by the eagle-eyed cul‘lers standing by the scales on the dock. He learned to distinguish the various grades of fishâ€"the large~sized cold and Mike classed as “steak” and put upon the market for the purpose of slicing; the fat, fullâ€"fleshed “med- iums”; the smallerwsnaippers’“ and “scrod.” He also saw the difference in the Class of fish caught by the “hand-linens,” who fish from the schooners with handâ€"lines upon Georges Bank; he talked with the ‘crews of “rip fishermen,” who fished by handâ€"lines from the deck of their vessel while she drifted among the whrirlinxg tid-e eddies of Nantucket Shoals; and a visit aboard of a newly arrived “hali‘buter” from the Labra- dor coast opened his eyes to a new and fascinating phase of the fishing business.

He read to them in the short hour before turning in, and while he was improving the intellectual side of his mind by the reading of good, instructive literature he was making many staunch friends. There was no denying it. The fisher- men he sailed with adored the boy and would have done anything for him in their rough, simple, kindly way, and when bhey left for.theivr homes at Christmas it was their entreaties which prevailed upon the skipper to bring his nephew back fishing for the balance of the season. _They marketed their fresh fish in and by can an unvceag all the by SM There's b of the und ergro wth where they ( To be continued.) “I of tl‘ fish he had him keeping upon the rise and eter, and practically ‘ the lead was done move 0 berth, v the boy taHy; as “b y upon the 5' left after e; )ving through Xfrican bush. .‘om the dense of the ves- was traced by; he kept 1Q hoid The World needs friendliness, and kindness, and good will.
