rushed out into the kitchen, bowling all
the way.
The Joyous One warmed up, He fair
~ scintillated in conversation and alter
mated his tales Of foreign lands and his
delicious renderings Of old poetry and
legends with descriptions Of jokes play
ed by him in the past. The gathering
in the parlor could not understand why
he had not been arrested hundred
found themselves forced to laugh at his
original devices for the creation of
trouble About 10 o'clock the Joyous
One declared that he really must go.
He went amid general handshakings
and invitations to call again. Half an
hour later, the Steady Young Man found
the Innings of his hat 50 stuffed with
paper that he at first thought he had
donned some small boys top piece, and
the healthy sisters finacee's oyercoat

while a tag on the back, which he did

The Joyous One came again the next
night and the Pretty Invalid found her
self convulsed with laughter al his W 2rds

five pounds in weight, there was glow
Of pink on her cheeks and she was
eating heartily. The insomnia had ut

A month later she was out on her
wheel and talked OF making a century
run. She was also raising disturbance
because the Joyous One had tied green
ribbons to her saddle and hung curling
iron on her jacket when she went out

The Steady Young Man concluded
that she was too sweet, too healthy and
too happy to worry about or to delay
with any longer. So he went into the
parlor one night when the Joyous One
had not yet appeared and formally pop

WHAT IS A SAILING SHIP?

The average landsman may be sur
prised to hear that there is doubt as
to what constitutes a sailing ship in the
eye OF the law. This question was
raised in London the other day before
divisional court of admiralty. hir.
Commissioner Kerr held that a barge
which had a jury-sail up to assist the
rowers was a sailing vessel, and held
her in fault for a collision which oc-
cured in Barking Creek between her
and a sailing barge, on the ground that
she could and ought to have kept out
of the way. Her owners appealed, and
it was contended on their behalf that
she could not reasonably be considered
as sailing vessel, because a vessel
could only be a sailing vessel when it
could comply with the rules laid down
for sailing vessels, such as lacking to
port and starboard Besides, if she were
a sailing vessel she would have to carry
sidelights, and canal barge with side
lights was a thing unheard of. The
court did not think it necessary to de-
eide this point because the appellants
barge, having a motive power OF two
'lnots, could be kept out Of the way by
porting, and so dismissed the appeal
with costs The judges added that when
the question of what was a sailing ship
came to be decided it would have to
be very carefully considered as there
were a number of important points to
be determined.

LOVE SONGS.

A troubadour came singing:
Il come from Palestine
Unto a maiden, bringing
Sweet comfort from Loves shrine,
A knight has sent the token
Unto his lady fair
He keepeth still unbroken
The perfect faith he sware.
A thousand knights were dying
In dungeons far away,
A thousand maids were signing,
While hope lived day by day.
And all who met the minstrel
And hearkened to his song,
Held II her own knights message,
And felt her heart grow strong.
