times, just as the chap in thS sealskin
cap was beginning to fume bit and de.
clare that he was suffering from super.
fluffy of Bubble and Squeak, the cap
tain would come waddling up to them
with his queer sailor walk and would
tell the two elders to off with them and
he'd look after the two chicks.
You never saw such pair of sailors
in your life. Sometimes the captain
would take them up on the bridge with
him and let them look through the big
telescope. 1t was at these times that
Bubble reached the acme Of his bliss
Squeak, although she enjoyed it very
much, of course, was scarcely so enthu-
siastic. She had habit of shutting
both eyes tight when she looked into
the telescope that must naturally have
debarred her from fully approaching
the view.
During the first three days the wealth
er was remarkably fine and the children
fairly lived ON deck. Then the weather
grew rougher, and it was no longer safe
for Bubble and Squeak to roam atlarge.
1t was at this critical point that the
chap in the sealskin cap came to the res.
cue. There were two rings in the floor
of the quarter deck, and he procured
two long, stanch leather straps from one
of the sailors. The straps were placed
about the children's waists and fastened
securely to the rings They were long
enough to admit Of their crawling
| about, so after the prospect of being
mewed up in the saloon the youngsters
viewed this chance of emancipation as
a positive godsend. 1t was here that
| they held impromptu receptions and do
molished the chicken wings and other
delicacies which the steward brought
them from time to time 1t was here
also that on the fifth day out Miss
Squeak was seized with that alarming
attack of the "egg-cups." That's wha'
Bubble called it, at any rate, though
perhaps a physician might give ii {
slightly different name. For few
moments everybody was suggesting
some infallible remedy, but it was thc
captain who finally effected the cure
Get me glass of water, somebody,
he cried in his gruff, hearty way, "Bles
my heart, don't any of you good people
know how to cure the hiccoughs? Tak'
nine sips of water now, Squeak dear
Hold on now. Let me count 'em. There
you are. Didn't / tell you, now?"
And the captain waddled back to hi
post looking as proud as Punch.
A few days later the captains med!ca
services were once more brought int
play, This time both Bubble AnC
Squeak were patients. Some one ha,
made great dish of taffy and both tn
youngsters had partaken of it freely
Next morning they paid the penalty, 10
both had a whacking toothache. AS tn
morning passed the pain grew worse
and lunch time found them both sob
bing.
The captain didn't say very much, bu
told them to come along with him int
his cabin. He took them by the hand
one on either side, and they started of

ing Sun. Bubbles silver-baired old
grandmother had pressed it into his
hand the instant before the tender had
given its final whistle and steamed away
down the Mersey to where the great
black steamship lay that was to carry
Bubble and his pretty young mother to
far-off Canada
That apple was the first thing that
little Squeak's eyes rested upon when
she came on board with her nurse, her
father and an unlimited supply of gin
ger snaps done up in a brown paper bag
First of all she looked at the apple
and then she looked at Bubble. She
really couldn't tell which she liked
better. Perhaps, all things considered,
Bubble, with his natty little sailor suit
and those frowsy yellow curls, would
prove more lasting delight, but for
the present that apple
She looked at the apple longingly and
Bubble looked at her. Then toddling
across the deck as fast as his chubby
five-year-old legs could carry him, he
held the apple out to her.
'Have a bite?''
Squeak hesitated just one instant and
then, nurses back being providentially
turned, she buried her little white
teeth deep in the apples side.
That's how it began. AT least so says
the captain, and he was an eyewitness
of the whole of the proceedings. He de-
clares that they ate it by alternate
bites,- even down to the very core, Ant
then Squeak produced the brown paper
bag, and, getting away to snug little
corner, while the whistles we're blow

The passengers watched them except
antly, and as the cabin door closed be-
hind the trio they strained their ears
for what was to follow. There was a
momenG or two of silence, while the
passengers held their breath. Then at
the very same instant two piercing
shrieks we're heard. The captain, not
to show any partiality, had pulled both
the teeth at once. They came out
presently, each child parading tooth
in triumph, and they related their ex-
periences to an admiring throng. Then
Bubble took Squeak's tooth and Squeak
took Bubbles, and they vowed to keep
them forever as souvenirs.
AS the time for parting drew nearer
and nearer the captain grew more and
more glum. He could not bear the
thought of losing them, although he de.
clared emphatically that his dancing at
their wedding was merely question of
time. Quebec was reached late in the
evening, so most of the passengers
elected to spend the night on board.
DuJ CQutdh papa was III hurry w
reach terra frma again, so the young
lady took her departure by torch-light.
Afterward, just to keep their spirits up,
Bubble and the captain took stroll up
and down tine bridge. Then in the early
morning it came Bubbles turn to say
goodbye. His parting with that tole-
scope was pitiful. He loved it just a
little more than the captain and little
less than Squeak. The girl cried over
him little bit as she had cried over
Squeak on the night before The chap
gave him a little gentle slap on his
back and then exclaimed: Goodbye,
old fellow" The captain just blew his
nose.
AT the gangway Bubble stopped dead,
and in spite of his nurses protestations
refused to bulge another inch. 1t was
critical moment The nurse was
buxom and poor Bubble very weak.
There was sudden whisk of little legs
through the air, a shrek of fury and
then the child was borne triumphantly
down the gangway under nurses brawny
arm.

"If value myself upon any thing"
said Hawthorne, 'itis on having smile

would hardly think so from the portraits
of his face that have come down to us.

Subingated.

The word subiuga.ed is of Latin
origin-sub jugatm, under the yoke.
Although ~oftenest used in a figurative
sense, it might have been applied in all
~literalness to q certain Maine boy whose
singular experiment with q calf, as de-
scribed by the Lewiston Journal, may
recall to our readers the recently pub
lished story of "Bub and Broad"
This farmer lad had always taken q
special interest in oxen. and delighted
to brandish the goad-stick over his
fathers good-natured pair. His great
ambition was to own for himself q pair
Of steers.
Last summer he became the proud
possessor Of half a pair; in other words
his father gave him o young calf. OF
course the steer could not be yoked up
by itself. What did the youthful Gin
cinnatus do, therefore, but place one
end of the yoke round his own neck, and
fasten it there.
The result may be imagined. The
other half of the team started, and
pretty soon a passing neighbor heard a
shrill cry:
astop us, Mr.. Smith. stop us! We're
running awayw
The neighbor came to the rescue, and
was attempting to unyoke the boy,
when he called out:
s'Tother one, Mr.. Smith, 'tother one!
I'll stand!n
