Gen. Corbin says that the enlist

the law for the creation of the pro-

only for such force until 1901. Ar

So matters went till sunrise, the wind
growing fresher as the time sped, and at

the deck to find its meaning.

In towering masses ranging from thunder
Gus blackness to the opalescent clearness of
seashell. Through its misty caverns shot
dazzling shafts of sunshine, which wavered
and played over the face of the bank like
the tremulous shifting of the northern
lights. Astern, clear as far as one could see,
lay the ocean blank of all sail, the small
summer waves glinting back the strong
light from the east. To the west and over
our larboard beam stood out the green
heights of Staten island, and under their
| shelter | marked two heavy ships of the
line, while toward Sandy Hook lay two
others with sails furled and at anchor.
Gravesend bay also held one, a mammoth,
which took to be the Cerberus, but not

marveled that we had run the gantlet of

them had gone up the bay and must have

CHAPTER XVII
THE PASSAGE OF THE BAY

Now for some time after this no sound
came from within, and stood by the helm
anxiously keeping one eye on the fog and the
other on the cabin. As there was now no
knowing whether we were drifting by the
bow, stern, or broadside, / sent Ames for
ward to hold lookout at that end of the
vessel, standing guard on the quarterback
myself, that | might control any possible
outbreak from below.
Still on the cabin house sat the young
lady, apparently unmoved by what had oc
CURED, and certainly unmoving, as her form,
which was just to be made out from my
post, was as quiet as the schooner's figure
head Once / had gone close to her to mark
her state somewhat marveling at her self
controD, and found her pillowed against the
great main boom with its furled sail. She
had greeted me with touch of her hand,
the first she had ever vouchsafed me, while
the quick turn of her eyes and the CLEAN of
her teeth (Which was all / could see of her
face) showed me that she was alert and still
self-contained. But not whisper of ques-
ton did she bother me with, though for that
matter she had spoken not word since

had she not resented the act, it might be but
for the reason that through gratitude she
would save my feelings and the thought
was not comforting.
Dropping her hand, therefore, with the
word that all was going well, l returned to
my post. In my expectancy and dread of
knew not what, the minutes seemed tc
lengthen to quarter hours. The white muf
file of mist appeared thicker than ever, and
once or twice fancied caught on my wei

air was giving first faint heave of coming

me what was afoot. Suddenly from below
there came dull, Earring thud, and the fol

tarpaulin, while at once following came tn

A Bulletin of Interest to Farmer

The experiment station at Madison has
recently issued a bulletin of interest to
every dairyman in Wisconsin. Several
farmers who patronize the University
creamery, weighed the milk of each of
their COWS separately and sent samples
to the creamery for analysis. The bull
letin gives pictures of some of these
cows and tells the milk and butter each
produced in a year. It shows that some
COWS were money makers while others
were kept at loss. Our farmer readers
are urged to- secure this bulletin, which
will be sent free to all upon request.
Write on one side of a postal card your
request for Bulletin Is, and on the 9th

Toll Line Extension Work.

The Badger State Telephone company
are progressing rapidly with the work
on the new toll line extensions, the con-
tractors, Messrs. Jones and Winter, hav-
ing already set the poles to Footville,
Brooklyn, Magnolia and Cookville. The
poles have also been set to for the line
to Shopiere, and gang of men engaged
on the Beloit line have completed about
one-half of the work.
They expect to have the wire strung
to the above places in about two weeks.
The wire to be used is what is known as
mo. 1O,' and is much larger than the
size in general use. Within the next
sixty days there will be some one hun
dred and fifty miles of wire put up in
the immediate vicinity, and the people
of GAINESVILLE who have phones will be
enabled to communicate with their
friends in the surrounding towns with
out having to pay the usual messenger
charges, the line making many more
people available to the local exchange.
When the work is entirely completed,
GAINESVILLE will be connected with all of
the independent telephone companies of
the state.-Gazette.
We are also informed that the toll line
will reach Edgerton before the local ex-
change now building is completed.
