wear SO long as copper, but it costs
less. The composition metal comes
in sheets about three feet by one foot
four inches. They are fastened on
the ship with nails Of the same ma

nailed directly on to the hull Of the
ship. Sometimes it is nailed over an

preserve the calking in the seams.
When the ship has been placed in a

Paper Hanging by Machine.

Paper hanging by machine is the
Latest achievement, says the Werk-
staff. The arrangement used for this
purpose is provided with rod upon
which the roll Of paper is placed. A
paste receptacle with brushing ar
rangement is attached in such man
ner that the paste is applied auto
matically on the back Of the paper.
The end Of the wall paper is fixed at
the bottom Of the wall, and the i'm
plement rises on the wall and only
needs to be set by one workman.
While the wall paper unrolls, and,
provided with paste, is held against
the wall, an elastic roller follows on
the outside Which presses it firmly to
the wall. When the wall paper has
reached the top, the workman pulls a
cord, whereby it is cut of from the
remainder on the roll.

She looked very coy and shy. No
doubt she was waiting for something
more. But DR.. Stockton released her
hand and rose to go without the en-
brace she expected.
"You have made me happy, Miss
Lawrence" he repeated. ~ hardly
dared to hope for your consent, and,
without it, could never have pro-
ceeded in the matter.
A strange speech; but Miss Law
renee was too overcome to notice it.
"Madge," she exclaimed, when they
met at lunch. Madge looked across
the table at her aunt. She was smil-
ing pensively. II am going to be
married" The girl laid down her
knife and fork in utter establishment.
"Married?" she cried. "To whom?"
cdr. Stockton" returned the lady.
It was we'll for Madge that her aunt
was too occupied with thoughts Of her
future happiness to note the misery
that came into the girls face. She
longed to be alone, and, after the meal,
pleaded o headache and went to her
room. Miss Lawrence was sympa-
thetic with eau de cologne and smell
ing bottle, and then started on q drive
to the nearest town.
Madge felt suffocated indoors, and
went into the garden. She stretched
on bank and looked up at the green
trees and blue sky with q pathetic
gaze. They had no charm for her to-
day. In fact, she saw them not. She
only saw Cyril Stockton's dark eyes.
Why had he looked at her so earnest:
ly? Why had he talked with her, and
found her in her walk, and laughed
with her when she was happy? Why
had he pressed her hand. if, after all,
he mesnt nothing? She had dreamed
Of happiness. The awakening was
cruel. She buried her face in her
hands and wept.
'Madge!" She looked up quickly,
then started to her feet and stood
erect, with flashing eyes. Cyril Stock
ton eyed her wonderingly. It was a
reception he had not counted on, and
his heart sank. "Madge," he cried,
shave I mistaken your feeling for me?
Do you hate me now you know I am
bold enough to love you'll"
It was Madge's turn for astonish-
ment.
"Me!" she exclaimed. ''Me! What
do you mean, DR.. Stockholm"
"dasn't Miss Lawrence told you?"
he asked. II saw her this morning
and gained her consent to my suit"
Madge came little closer.
'Tell me, 'he urged. "May Ihope?"
She held out her hand. He drew
her to him and held her in a long en-
brace.
"Poor Auntie!' murmured Madge.
II fear she has made slight mistake. "

luctant rain to come. Hammocks
and lunch baskets were on hand at
six o'clock and the picnickers had u
merry time under the trees. Cake,
