She was a very plump woman. There

like that is little short Of adherence. But
if there ia one thing that she dislikes more
than her comfortable plumpness, 1t is the
water. So, when one day, on a steamer in
fog, there was a collision, she was even
more unhappy than most people are under
such circumstances, though il was related
sfterward that she behaved with great cool
ness. There was fortunately no more seri
Gus result from the collision than several
hours delay, but no one was quite sure in
that time what the next minute would bring
forth. The husband of the woman with the
comfortable plumpness, like the good hus-
band that he was, Immediately after the ac-

put one on. But she recoiled with such hor.

the shock had deprived her of her senses.
"Put on one OF those things?" she almost
shrieked. "Neverl just look at that fat
woman over there with one of them on.

and it was her good fortune that she had
no reason to regret it.-N. Y. Times.

with a Scotch engineer and a Spanish
crew, connecting with the Messageries
boats at Saigon the rest of the time.
Now tell me under what the canopy
brings you out here"
Business, of course; you didn't
think l was travelling on my money,
did you? I've been buying China
goods, assorted devils, and Manila mat
ting for Lantine g. Co. about two years.
Up to three o'clock this afternoon
expected to keep on buying them until
my liver refused to stand the climate,
but about that time this cable changed
my plans for me-" Halstead looked
thoughtful as he read the message
which | handed him. We had reached
the club quay, and were climbing to
the balcony, where the boy presently
brought us cigars and coffee.
"M-m-m-m-bow long will IL take
you to close matters up for the com
pany?"
They're settled now, as far as any
thing | can do. 1t will be a month be-
fore they can get letters out here, but
the orders already shipped will have to
be paid for. Larrinaga's people told
me this evening that they knew old
man Lantine to be individually good
for all the house bought. This cable,
however, winds up my connection with
them for the present"
"And you haven't decided what
you're going to do next?"
Not yet. I'll probably go to Hong
Kong on Tuesday and see how things
look there"
"Why not take a little vacation ?
You've been working hard, and a rest
wouid DO you good. Run out to the
Ladrones with me. It's fine voyage
at this time of year, and I'm so sick OF
talking mixed languages that it'll be
perfect godsend to have an old friend
along. Come now, what do you say?'
"Why, don't know. I'd like nothing
better, -m-m-m-m-there's really
no reason why l shouldn't. When dc
| you sailP"
"About midnight"
"What, to-night?"
"Sure. only came ashore to get my
papers from the custom house, anc

will it take to get your duds together?"
Fifteen minutes. But how about a
passport? The commandante's Office
closed at noon"
That's all right. No one'n stop you
on a government launch, and I'll take
care of the rest. Come along"
In three-quarters of an hour Hal
stead and / reached the quay with my
luggage, and 20 minutes later we were
climbing the Countess of Devon's ac-
commodation ladder, out in the bay.

touched his cap. Halstead looked
along the gangway and said:

Diaz?"

"All right. Get your anchor up and
find how much she's drawing. Tell
Mr. Moreno to be careful that iron
buoy doesn't foul the screw this time,
and have the quartermaster bring Mr..
Stevens luggage up to my room. The
steward can give the passengers bis
cults and coffee If they want it before
turning in-there are only dozen,
think-and seat the ladies' party at
my table in the morning. Now, old
chap" (turning to me), "I'm going to
give you the extra berth in my cabin,
aud you can do as you please on board.
Go TO sleep now, if you like, or bring
stool up on the bridge and smoke. 1
shan't turn in until after breakfast"
IF that's the case, I'll stay with
you. just to humor MY fool curiosity,
/ wish you'd explain why you start at
such an ungodly hour. There's no bar
to cross, so the tides can't make any
difference"
"No; there's plenty Of water, but

'''We were married in that hasty
way" explained the girl who had
eloped, because we objected to the
display and the bother and the cost OF
a big wedding, you know"
''Indeed?" answered the girl who had
hoped to be married first, speaking in
d most insinuating voice. I'm glad
