strictly prohibited. AS if in despair at

On closer inspection, however, DGIllS

and perhaps regarding the trio's dis
hevelled appearance, as. for once,

merely recommended a vigorous APP
plication of the brush, and unsuspect-
ingly permitted them to go on their
way to church.
1t was not long after the service had
commenced before every one in the
vicinity of the Kipling trio became con-
scious of a most pungent and sicken-
ing odor of backing, the classical mas
ter who sat next to Kipling being the
first, of course, to sniff the air with
suspicion. But as the church warmed
up the smell became so altogether IN

casting a look of supreme disgust upon

refuge in another part OF the church.

enjoy dancing The romance, the po-
etry of it all must be delightful to the
passengers, especially to the younger
ones. But while they are gliding over
the deck, some of the older ones are
certain to be contrasting this Christmas
eve with others in years gone by; and
perhaps ships officer or two, off duty,
will be in their room, reading again and
again the letter that came in the
Christmas parcel, which has just been
delivered to him. and wondering what
the wife and little ones are doing at
that hour in some German village or in
an English town, or, perhaps, in far-off
Yankeeland.
IN THE FORECASTLE.
1.-THE band plays lively music, and
the passengers dance on deck; but if
they imagine they are the only ones
aboardship who are celebrating Christ
mas eve, they are mistakes. If they
were to look into the forecastle they
would see another Christmas tree there,
also covered with little decorations and
gifts-the sailors tree. For, you know,
a German is only half German with
out a tree on Christmas eve, and every
German ship has one. Long before the
ship sailed from her home port on the
Christmas voyage friends and relatives
of each sailor prepared some little pres
ents, which they sent forward in care
of some acquaintance in the crew. so
that their particular sailor man might
have his surprise at the right time.

OF course, these gifts are inexpensive,
for the sailors family has little money
to spare; but pipe, warm stockings,
or some such article, is received aboard
the vessel and carefully kept until the
proper time, when all are hung on the
tree. The company gives the sailors a
little wine or beer, and Christmas
cakes. This applies also to the firemen,
who have a tree of their own'in their
room. So, as you win see, there are
usually as many as three trees aboard
the ship,
The 18th of December we observe as

CHRISTMAS WITH STEVENSON.
This was by no means the first time

the captain said; but it was the only
time l had him along when anything
happened. This time the Lubbock broke
a shaft. That was bad enough, but al
most as soon as we got it repaired, it
broke again, and after that for the
third time. Then we put out all the
sail we could and made for Sydney,
without trying to fix the shaft. 1 shall
never forget Mr.. Stevenson at that
time. He cheered everybody up by
telling them funny stories that were
better coming off-hand from his lips
than most literary men could write if
they worked over them for weeks. He
knew, too, that it was only a question
of a short time before he would die of
consumption, and that he could never
again go home for more than a brief
visit. 1t was simply wonderful what a
difference that one man made among
the passengers; and L guess almost all
