Frank buys the Mabel Kinsella and gets his drunken chew on board. He rescues a man overboard in the storm and wins anew the deep devotion of his gang Below decks the men, with muscles aching with the jolting and knocking about, hung into their bunksâ€"jammed in with rolled-up clothes, mattresses and pillowâ€"and smoked plug after plug of tobacco until forecastle and cabin became opaque with the blue reek. Oilâ€"clothes swung like pen- dulums from the hooks on the bulk- heads, and boots and buckets clattered and rolled across the floors. Charley Costaâ€"the Portugese cookâ€"worked around his stove in momentary danger. of being hurled against it, and he pre- ared meals after a fashion. The ,ilge-water in the vessel's bottom‘ swashed among the ballast, and the fumes made the lamps burn blue and blackened the fresh-painted woodwork lining of the cabin and forecastle, be~ sides making many of the men sea- sick with the nauseating odor. Creak- ing and groaning in every beam, knee, and plank, the schooner wallowed, Iurched, reared, and flung herself over the roaring crests with all the twists and lunges of an unbroken broncho. For four long and apparently in- terminable days the gale continued, and the Kinsella, hove-to all that time, drifted away to the eastward. “So far," as one of the gang remarked, “that it 'ud need a dollar’s worth 0’ postage stamps on a post-card t’ reach us.” Needless to say, his joke was not appreciated by the scowling fish- ermen in the adjacent bunks. With the dawn on the morning of the fourth day came signs that the storm was breaking. The snow had ceased, and the cold glint of a cloud- enshrouded sun illuminated a waste of tumbling grey-blue sea, foam- Marconi Model “0" Regenerative Recelvlng Sets. furnished by us. guaranteed to receive concert: as far down south as Memphls, Tenn., Atlanta; 6a., and west as far as Kan-at Clty.

BLUE WATER Copyright by the Musson Book Company BY FREDERICK WILLIAM WALLACE A TALE OF THE DEEP SEA FISHERMEN s and dealers, note streak-ed and rearing white-capped heads in sullen fury. The sky was lightening up to Windward, and when the ragged clouds, racing like smoke athwart the heavens, opened up a faint patch of blue, the watch hailed the news with delight. “Weather’s liftin’, skipper. That's a streak 0’ blue sky showin’ now!” All hands tumbled up to see itâ€"a common, ordinary and a unimportant sight to a landsmanâ€"but as beautiful as the sight of home to the seaâ€"weary men with eyes jaded by the monoton- ous vista of restless sea and sullen, depressing snow-filled sky. They watched it spread as the strong n01"- wester dnove the fleecy storm-wrack away, and when the sun broke clear, the watery waste reflected the cobalt of the western heavens. Blue water! It was good to see it once again, and the whole aspect of things changed with the color, and Westhaver gave a joyous shout. “Come on thar,’ bullies. Put th’ double-reefed main-s’l on her! H’ist th’ jumbo!” And while the men van to execute his commands he hove the lead over for a sound. “Geewhittaker!” he said as the coils flaked out and he was forced to belay. “No bottom at a hundred fathoms! Cal’lvate we must ha’ blown away out- side th’ hundredâ€"fathom curve. Now, ef I only had a sextant an’ knew how t’ use it I’d kn-ow whar’ I was. As it is, I’ll hev t’ slam her to th’ west’ard until we raise somethin’ or g'it a po- sition from another vessel.” A huge two-funnelled Atlantic liner overhauled them as they swooped to the westward under their scanty can- vas, and the crowds thronging her spacious promenade decks crowded to the rails to gaze at the tiny “fish boat” plunging like a sea-bird in among the great rollers. “Hev a look, consarn ye!” bawled a fisherman, unimpressed by the ma- jesty of the rolling ocean palace tow- ering above them. “Yer blame skip- per hez §hifted his co‘urse t' rlet ye see us. Ef it was thick he wouldn’t shift his ruddy course an inch ef we was under yer bows.” And carried away with the hereditary hatred of the Banks, he shook his fist at the won- deling §pectators on the liner’s decks. Wesbhaver, steering, glanced into the binnacle as she hauled ahead. “Now that craft’s a New Yorker, that’s evident, an’ a New York boat on th’ course she’s steerin' means that we’re south 0’ forty-two, so we’ll jest haul th’ Mabel a little more no’therly.” And on this slight deduction the young skipper shifted the course. Aye! shiftâ€" ed more than the vessel’s courseâ€"but there are some who will contend that the God of Luck has controlled the destinies of many lives; that a turn of Fate‘s wheel has upset the thrones of kings, the powers of empires, and while showering wealth on the beggar it has beggared the wealthy. It is blind luck, chance, destiny, or for- tune? Or is it the hand of Godâ€"a God who sees all and knows all, and who holds the lives, the fortunes, and the destinies of all men in the hollow of his hand? It was McCallum who roared the intelligence down into the cabin where Westhaver was reading. “Oh, skip- per! T‘ere’s a park or a t’ree-master AII Vernier Rheostata . . . . . . . 8.0.

A boyish figure, slight in build but beautiful in the alabaster paleness of his features, dressed in seamen’s oilskins, was lift- ed aboard by Westh-aver, and when he glanced at the face in curious wonder, Jake ‘Simms in the dor:r confirmed his suspicions. “Git her below, skipper! She’s faintedâ€"” town to loo’ard ful, sir. Wull her, skipper?" had tres was “He’s in distress," cried Frank to the crowd lounging aft. “Stand by the mainsheet, some 0’ you! Make th’ tail-rope fast as I put th’ wheel over! Ready? Helm’s a’lee!” And jogging to windward of the leggy, sea-washed barque, the fishing schooner tumbled and rolled in the swells. The gang trooped aft While Westhaver scrutin- ize_(_i__the barque with his binocularst “Humph!” he muttered as he laid them down. “She‘s a small craft load- ed with deals. Thar’s all her gang aft on top of the house. Whole main- deck’s a-wash. Waal, I cal’late we kin git them. Off with th’ gripes on yer lee nest an’ put three dories over. I’ll pick ye up down t’ loo’ard ” The words were scarce out of his month before a rush was made by the whole crew for the d-orieginested amidfishiprsi. “Say!” shouted Westhaver, “I said th’ lee doriesâ€"three 0’ them only. Come aft here, you other fellers what asked ’6’ go_â€"-” They came aft, protesting and pleading. “Let me go!” “An’ me!” “Jim Hudson kain’t handle a dory like I kin!" “ ’Tis my dory usually goes on that lee nestâ€"I sh’d go by rights.” “Three dories ain’t enough, skipper.” And so on, but Frank was firm. “Three's enough,” he said. “Belay yer jaw now an’ help them git them over ’thout stavin’ them on th’ rail.” Westhaver went forward. “Now, you rescue fellers,” he said. “Be careful goin’ ’longside that hulk an’ see she don’t roll down on ye. Round up t’ her lee quarter an’ git her people off, an’ make them lay in th’ bottom 0’ th' dory. Be careful, fellers!” And in a minute they were clear of the schooner and reeling over the cream- ing, wind-lashed waves. It was blowing very strong from the nor'â€"west, and there was a heavy sea running, and if the rescue had been carried out from a steamer with similar conditions existing there would have been a call for volunteersâ€"â€" single men preferredâ€" and they would have pulled away in the same spirit as a forlorn hope, while the steamer would have manoeucred to windward of the thirty-foot lifeboat with oil dripping from the latrines to break the sea. With the men of the deep-sea fish- ing fleets there were no such prepara- tions. They are used to handling boats in rough water and heavy winds, and the six dory-mates from the Mabel Kinsella pulled away in their eighteen- foot dories with the supreme confi- dence of men who know what their boats can standâ€"for the dory, those ugly, cranky, flat-bottomed branches of the sea, will ride out a howling gale if not overloaded and improperly handled. While the boats were rounding up under the ‘barque’s counter Westhaver drew away on the, jumbo, startedhis sheets, and swung down to leeward, where he rolled with wild swoops among the debris-littered combers, while the gang lined the rail and watched the work of rescue with anggous eyes. A girl! Westhaver leaped for the cabin gang’way with the burden rest- ing in his strong arms as lightly as a feather. “Git th’ cook aft here!" he roared. “Tell him t.’ bring along coffee -â€" tea â€" soup â€" anythin’ hot. Juxnp, some 0' yez!” Clattering below, he laid the still form of the girl on a locker, and for a moment he pondered as to what he had better do to revive her. “Now I’ll be hanged ef I know what U do!" he muttered, when a grizzled old man clad in a long black oilskin coat step- ped down the ladder. “Is she all right?" he queried, giv- ing Westhaver a piercing, anxious glance. “Waal, I reckon she's jest fainted,” returned the young skipper. “I’ve sent for th’ cook t’ come aft with somethin’ hotâ€"here he is, now.

On deck he saw the water-logged barque a good mile to windward; the rescuers had returned safely, and the dories were nested and the gripes over them. How much a shelter-belt of trees about the buildings and garden on a prairie farm in Canada. is worth has been under frequent discussion of late. In Bulletin No. 72, “Success in Prairie Tree Planting," issued by the Director of Forestry, Ottawa, forty farmers scattered over the prairies be- tween Winnipeg and Edmonton esti- mate the value of shelter-belts they have planted on their farms at from $500 to $3,000, with an average of about $1,000. That this is a reason- able valuation is confirmed by a re cent decision of an Alberta court In this case the tenant of a. farm had al- lowed cattle to get into the tree belt with the result that hey had almost destroyed it The owner at the ter- mination of the lease sued the tenant for damages. A number of witnesses were heard. One witness for the de- fendant contended that with good care and attention and the planting of fifty to one hundred new trees the damage would soon be repaired. On the other hand witnesses for the plaintiff esti- mated the damage at from $1,500 to $2,000. After reviewing the evidence, the learned judge stated his conclu- sion as follows: “On the Whole I think the proper amount to allow would be $1,000. I think with the expenditure of quite a bit less than this sum, and with care and attention for a few years, the wind-break can be made practically as good as ever. But the value in the meantime will be lost, and, therefore, I think the amount mentioned is not excessive.” Judg- ment was given on this basis.

Your instrument then is receiving them, too. Music in its place, the suggestion of readiness to playâ€"these are the touches of kin- ship which set life into the music room. Who, now, will disregard the music room? Who will let his home have no heart? I speak to you in the words of a great old man I once knew: “Where there is no music in the house, that house is a sad place. If you would know where real culture and genuine sympathy reside in the human heart, go find me a lover of music. And if a family would ap- pear to be the cultured sort, even though they cannot confess a true love of melody, let them sham it, if they must. Let them follow the suit of the folk who attend opera merely to seem to like it. ‘If the name of the family be off from the list of musicâ€"patrons, you wonder why, and wondering, cast a different glance at the missing persons." I change all this by saying 1 that what you hear of music ( your doors. is not to compare w simple kind of music you hear your own home. I would rather to the amateur notes of a r home, than admire the marvel professional’s technique on t2: cert stage. Minard's Llniment For Colds, tc Are you suffering with Corns or Cal‘ louses?
