can" With rueful realization of Miss Boul-
toms acuteness.
He tried for several days to screw his cour-
age up to ascertaining Lulu's views on the
marriage state with special reference to their
personal and immediate bearings, and at last
one night did so. As matter of investiga-
tion his success was instant and startling.
His soundings were more visible than he in
tended, and blazinS-eyed young damsel
turned flercely upon him:
There was no necessity for all this beating
about the bush. If you wished to break of
the engagement, all you had to do was to say

"But I don'tr' protested the unfortunate
youth. II only thought it would BIZ better
for both of us, perhaps, to wait little

He hunted M some men he knew

He hunted up some men he knew about
town, and found most of them about to be
married. That IS what people do in June in
New York. One youth contlded his raptures
to him and worked Harry up SO that he pro-
duced photograph ofI.ulu and showed it
enthusiastically as that of his fiancee. and
did not remember until the youth had gone
that he had no fancee. That ended the
pretense of the day. and Harry frankly owned
up to himself that the one thing he did
want on the face of the earth was-Luiu.
For very shame's sake. he let three days
elapse-as abominable three days as he
ever spent. and during which he discovered
for all time that a fling without her was no
fling at all-and then he went back to Ball
ingwood.
Did Lulu forgive him? oh. yes-eventually.
But the year she is making him wait is drag
ging very slowly for youth who every day
asks the blue sky il there was ever before
such an unutterable fool as himself. She
went to the Worlds FaIr without him and
made him stay in Ballingwood. She has fur
ther announced an intention OF passing the
season next Winter in New York, SO that II

And dear old Harry uses good deal Of

were all shot from our berths In various

FLOUR SAVED THE VESSEL.
Thrilling Experience of the Anchor Line
Steamer Ethiopia. Which Was
Struck by an Iceberg

StTuck Dy an lcebcrg.
GLASGOW, June 1.-THE Anchor Line steam
er Ethiopia, Capt. Wilson, from New York,
June 2. reported yesterday as having been
damaged in collision with an iceberg. has ar
The accident occurred on the afternoon Of
June G, during a heavy fog. The steamer
struck the berg with great force, and water
began TO pour through the hole made IN her
bows. 1t was at first thought the vessel
would founder. Orders were given to clear
away and lower the small boats preparatory
to abandoning the ship but before the tackles

son had pumps placed near the spot, and
soon found that the steamer was making COM
paratively little water. The order to lower
the boats was countermanded, and the crew
were ordered to build an artificial bulkhead
This was done, and the bulkhead was covered
with canvas, which greatly checked the inflow
of water. A number of bags OF -four part of
the vessels cargo, were then piled up near
the hole. When the -four was saturated il
formed a cement-like wall.
As soon as the berg was seen the engines
were stopped, and were not started again for
two days, or until the temporary repairs had
been effected. There was much excitement
among the passengers Immediately after the
accident, but their fears were soon alayed.
On board the Ethiopia were the racing spars
of the American sloop-yacht Vigilant which
arrived at Gourock yesterday. Two of the
spars were used in the construction OF the ar
tificial bulkhead.
Nobody was injured and the cargo sustained
little damage. The action of the officers and
crew at the time of the collision and after
wards was highly praised by the passengers,
and purse of S54 was subscribed by them to
be divided among them.
