sugar-bush is a forest, big or little. of
maple trees. Though maple sugar is not
nearly SO common nowadays as it was in
the days when some of our now distin-
guished statesmen used to stop at the
sugar barrel that stood on the landing on
the road to bed and fish out lumps of
sugar while they tramped their feet to
make mothers below think they were going
straight along upstairs (wasn't that a
naughty trick, childrenO. Maple sugar, I
say, is not so common as that now.
But there are sugar-bushes on some
rough New England farms still, and

had never seen it.
One day grandpa and grandma drove
over. bringing the usual treat of sweets
and little choice shrubbery for mamma s

stand our business and tend to it. When
there is a fog on the bay and the passen-
gers watch it blow over the City and talk
about the 'lovely effects and the "soft
grays," that is the time when we captains
feel like saying bad words.
And when the people go inside where it's
warm and bright, and while they talk and
laugh and read and listen to the music,
why that's the time when we folks up aloft
just shut our teeth and feel as if we were
carrying all those people across the bay on
our shoulders.
Bless you, the people don't know any
senger out of hundred ever stops to think
whether ferryboat has to have captain
at all or not.
Most likely most of them think that some

one thing all day, and he wouldn't do
that. 1t was for his own good, too.
You see the captain-the other captain,
the grown-up captaln-had very bad
cold. So when the fog began to roll in in
the evening Phyllis said he must go down
in the nice warm cabin and lie down for
awhile with a shawl over him.
He kept coughing and sneezing and the
fog got so thick you couldn't see thing,
so what was the use of his staying up
there in that little cold high-up room any
way?
Phyllis and I could tend to everything
and we didn't mind the fog bit, while it
time. We thought it was fun. There was
a long time Oh the last trip that you
couldn't see a single light anywhere.
Not one in all those four cities, not one
in all that sky, that ought to have shown
about hundred million little electric
lights. Not even one on Goat Island for a
little while. Our engineer blew his whis-
tie about once a minute and kept it blow
ing half the time.
Phyllis said it was calling, "Oh deee-ar,
where are we, anyway"
The big foghorn on Goat Island would
blow back an answer every time but it
didn't sound very cheerful somehow.
A big bell at the Oakland mole kept
tolling, tolling, tolling, and everything
did seem so lonesome and so wretched that
Phyllis and 1 tried our best to get the
other captain to go downstairs and get
some tea and then lie down where he
could be comfortable. He didn't go. And
all the time after it was SO foggy he said
he was too busy to talk, and then never
did thing that could see.
Before dark we learned few things
about ferry boats and about the bay and
some people.
In the first place there has never been a
storm here since the Oakland was built
that was wild enough to keep her from
making one of her regular trips.
There never was a sea rough enough to
hurt that good ship either. Once there
was such a wind that the waves rolled
| around the Oakland ferry-house till it
shook on its foundations. The steamer
was so firm and stanch that she didn't
even have to be calked after that storm.
Sailing ferry-bo is just as easy as run
ming a locomotive on railroad-oh, yes.
Only every time you make the trip YOU
have to build the road as you go along
that's all.
Just as we were pulling away from the
slip on the other side one trip very

THE CUNNING LITTLE THING.

When baby wakes OF mornings,
Then It's awake, ye people ALL

Of song and play
Has come at our darling's call!
And, Till she gets her dinner,
She makes the welkin ring,
And she won't keep still till she's had her fill

When baby goes a-walking
Oh, how her paddles fly!
For that's the way the babies say,
To other folks "By-byW

And the birds in rapture sing
And there she stands and waves her hands,
The cunnin' little thing.
When baby goes a-rocl1ing
In her bed at close of day,

On her dainty cheek
The dreams and dimples play;
Then it's sleep in the tender kisses

CAPTAIN TOMMY TAKES COMMAND.

A glorious old captain who has sailed
the steamer Oakland back and forth
across our bay almost every day for twenty
years, and has never allowed anything to
happen, was awfuIly good to Phyllis and
me.
He said if we would come down and
take command of the ferry boat for day
he would do anything he could TO help US
about il.
We went, of course, and though don't
want to cast any reflection on the other
captain, 1 must say that I think we kept
our part of the contract little better than
the other captain did.

Consultation of Legal Lights as
to the Gist of the Agree
ment.
DOUBTS AS TO HIS INTENT.
The Lux Heirs Await the Completion
of the Arrangement With Hope
and Anxiety.

The question as to whether Henry Miller
Will finally sign an agreement to divide
the Miller & Lux property is still an open
one.
On the stand at Redwood City, in the
suit brought by the Lux heirs for the re-
moval of Jesse Potter as special adminis-
traitor, Mr.. Miller signifed his willingness
to sign such an agreement. The agree
ment was presented to him while on the
stand the next day, and he asked for time
that the agreement might be passed upon
by his attorneys. In accordance with that
request and pursuant to subsequent ar
rangements, Mr.. Herrin held two consulta-
tlons with Mr.. Delmas at the latter's office
IN this City yesterday and on the day
previous.
AS result of these conferences the
matter of arranging the details of the
agreement was referred to Eugene r.
Garber, James H. Campbell and Charles
D. wheeler. These gentlemen were in
consultation over the matter of the agree
ment yesterday at the Office of CARRIER,
Boalt d Bishop, but evidently there is
much TO consider and many questions to
declae IN taxing even so simple step as
signing an agreement TO divide the vast
property represented by the Miller & Lux
estate.
Meanwhile the Lux heirs are sustained
by the hope created by Mr. Miller when
he expressed a desire to have the vast
property divided.
10 them 1t gave promise of a realization
of hope which has been deferred; "a re-
ductlon OF present legal right to an
actual investment" as the lawyers would
say,
The question is of a man 8 WILLINGNESS to

with Byron, think, That hath pleasing
SOUND; music most enhancing, but too

'The estate is so vast that to Miller it
comes as proposition to divide France

VIII or the Stewards
1.-The labor of lifetime-an active. ag-
gressive, busy life-is this vast property to
Henry Miller, and it is little to be won
dered. at that he should cling to it SO
tenaciously.
while awaiting his pleasure the heirs
can but hope that in tie interests of ius-
tice and fairness he will find it in his
heart to sign the agreement and avoid the

lays"
