forward and looking across the broad
expanse of water before her, was
beautiful girl, In the flush Of her youth
and beauty.
In the wheelhouse stood n young
man, second mate of the ship, looking
at Mabel Vane. He was young. with
bold, manly face, curling brown hair
and beard and speaking gray eyes-a
man, in grace of person, manly beauty
and pure heart-a man worthy of the
name. He was only a sailor, and had
risen to his present rank from cabin
boy, but yet he dared to love the daugh-
ter of the East Indian millionaire, Ar
thur Vane.
He loved her and had no hope-loved
her as we worship star which is FAR
beyond our reach. Nothing was fur
Their from his thoughts than to insult
her by telling her that he loved her; but
to be near her, to see her often, per-
haps to do some service which would
win a smile from her-that was reward
enough for Will Clay.
She never dreamed of his alteration;
and he had heard her say among her

The Smart Woman's Hair.


The rat is still in demand at all the
shops where these unbeautifully NAM
ed aids to effective cOffures are sold,
and the plain, parted. Madonna style
of wearing the hair, though lauded by
man and approved by women with
seraphic expressions and perfect feat
ures, does not make much progress to-
ward the goal of popular favor. Light
waves are no longer considered good
form, but soft and puffy effects and
hair worn low on the forehead charac
terize the hairdressing Of the women
who lead in these matters. There is
a tendency to lower the chignon, al
though many women never consent to
low cOiffures, no matter what the fash
ion may be. as high effects are so
much more becoming. The low Golf
fure needs n well-shaped head and a
pretty neck, and women who affect it
generally do so to call attention to
these not at all common beauties. In
the days of her belledOm Miss Sallie
Hargous, now Mrs. Duncan Elliot, al
ways wore her hair in knot or mass
of braids just nj the nape of her neck,
and Mrs. Langtry's low, careless coil
of golden hair served as well rs sign
to call attention to the poise of her
head and the exquisite line Of her
shoulders. These simple fashions are
usually for beauties. Average women
need something more sophisticated.
One of the newest ways of arranging
the hair is to wave 1t, draw it up al
most to the top Of the head and ar
range it in two loosely twisted bows to
simulate ostrich tips. They are encir-
cled at the base by narrow black vel
vet ribbon, and an upright jewel or
aigrette is placed between them. An
other style consists of twisted rolls OF
hair so cleverly arranged above the
waves that it Is difficult to say where
one begins and the other ends. This
couture Is quite at the back of the
head. so the hair is tied only about
half way up and then divided into
three or more strands, according to
length or thickness, and twisted over
the finger in graduated rolls.
Never was there a period when one
was so free to select style Of arrang-
ing the hair to suit ones particular
style of beauty. The advocate of Ma
donna coiffures parts her hair in the
centre to please herself and puns it at
the back and at the sides to conciliate
Dame Fashion. The girl whose style
Is piquante rather than seraphic parts
her tresses and dresses one side higher
than the other or draws n waved lock
down in a curve over one eye.-~New

direction has been started, the Wur-
temburg Minister Of Education hav-
Ing resolved to give women = chance to
secure the necessary instruction and
pass examinations. On this subject an
article In u prominent journal by DIR.
w. Wachter gives the impression that,
IL women do secure this privilege It
will be anything but slnecure. Ger
man apothecaries' clerks have to un-
dergo very severe course of studies,
and, when they receive position, they
are expected to be on duty from seven
or eight In the morning to ten or eleven
at night, besides attending to the night
night. For all this they receive from
fifteen dollars to eighteen dollars a
month, with board and lodging, or
thirty dollars to thirty-seven dollars
without board and lodging. In a few
exceptional cases an assistant may re-
celve as much as fifty dollars month.
Under such circumstances II Is hardly
wonder that young men do not crowd
into this field of employment 1t Is,
indeed, the difficulty of getting assist
ants, especially in villages, that has
made many Of the apothecaries willing
to consider the candidacy Of women.
DIR. Wachter, however, sounds two
notes of Warning. Women clerks, he
urges, should under no circumstances
accept lower wages than the men, and
they should, if possible, organize for
protection; nor should they ever con-

any other officer on board the Gray
Eagle. She said 1t in the careless way
of girlhood, and yet he treasured it in
his heart. Standing there, watching the
course of the ship and ready to give a
word of warning to the wheelsman If
1t were needed, he never took his eyes
from her long.

there, don't you smell smoker"

"Rosin," cried Will, raising his head
quickly and shifting the air. He caught
the peculiar smell himself and leaped
down from the wheelhouse. keep

the wheel. There may be danger, but
IL there is, for Gods sake, keep it
quiet"
} The man nodded quietly and took a
firmer hold on the wheel. Will Clay
crossed the deck without apparent
haste, and yet with fearful fear tug
ging at his heart. He caught sight of
the captain coming out of the gentle
mems cabin and hurried up to him.
There is something wrong" he
whispered. Don't you smell burning
rosin, captainY"
The old sea captain suppressed a cry
of horror. With fifty passengers on
board, in the midst Of the Indian
Ocean, far from land, fire was one of
the most horrible things which could
come upon ship.

said, in low tone. IF you find TINT

scuttle which led into the forehold was

a dense volume of black smoke rolled
out, and the scuttle was closed again,

steps when they felt the deck tremble

suddenly and caught the planks above.
There was no hope of concealing the
the steamer was full Of smoke, and
wild cries from the deck announced
that the danger was known. They must
face the most terrible situation known
to the seattle one of all others the
most feared-fire! Women shrieked
and tainted, strong men trembled and
could not move hand or foot, and others
ran wildly about the decks rendering no
assistance. Mabel Vane, utterly be-
wildered by the sudden horror, felt a
strong hand clutch her arm, and saw
Will Clay, blackened by smoke and
singed by flame.

She looked at him in mute wonder
and obeyed him in silence. He sprang
away and began to fight the fire as he
could, aided by the officers and crew
and some few of the passengers who
kept their heads. Among these was
Arthur Vane, n handsome old gentle
man, with an engaging face.
'You are a man, William Clay" he
said, as the two hurled the contents of
n greater water cask down the open
hatch. IF we ever escape the COM

that 1 would save her or lose my life.

Love her-you!

said Will quietly. Lay hold on that
cask, you. What are you Sinking for?
Can't we talk and work, too?'
A strange smile came over the face
of the old merchant and they hurled
the cask into the water and assisted
the man working at the fall in raising
1t.
Don't think I'm a fool, Mr.. vane,"
said Will. IF lived a thousand years

upon them inch by inch, and drove
them aft.
"Give It up, captain" whispered Will.
"Get out the boats and provision them.
Take time for all you want, and we
will fight the fire."
The sailors worked with will until
they saw the boats drawing up to the
