LONDON, June "Details received re-

that it was one of the most desperate en-
gagements of sthe war Gen. Dixon's
column was traversing the district and

British fell at the first volley. The yeo

guns, the artilIerymen shot the pun

Suddenly, just before o'clock without
the slightest warning the starboard lowe7
spreader over the end Of which run two
of the masthead shFouds made Of inch

the mast. This brought the strain on the
three remaining steel shrouds which
promptly gave way and almost at the
same instant, the big steel mast began
to fall over the port. It went over so
gradually that those on deck saw it COM
ing in time to get to Windward with the
exception of Second Mate Nelson, who
was caught in some rigging. and went

tunately some of the crew saw his pre-
dicament and by quick work he was
hauled aboard.
AS tine mast came down shorn of its
topmast, it was seen that 1t would not
strike the deck and as the boom sagged
into the port rail gently the deck was
not injured in the slightest detail. Both

mast shrouds which lead over them held

Air Ship lis Promising.

Mechanics have not yet despaired OF
constructing ship that will navigate
the air, but are constantly at work de-
veloping new ideas or improving upon
old ones. A new type Of such craft has
been tried with some success at the
Crystal palace, London, the design be-
ing the invention Of Auguste Gaudron
and Cecil Barth.
The contrivance Is rather an air ship
than flying machine proper, from the
fact that 1t depends for its support up
on a cigar-shaped balloon seventeen
feet In length by three feet In diameter,
holding about 100 cubic feet of hydro
gen. The ideal flying machine, Of
course, is to support itself by mechani-
cal power apart from any balloon. Be-
meath the balloon in question are fixed
platforms, certain Of these containing
a motor and fan to supply the propul-
sive power, the center platform being
reserved for the aeronaut who there
controls the steering gear. During the
trial the machine behaved very salts
factorily ascending and descending at
any given angle and answering read
lily to the rudder. On a MINDLESS day
the inventors hope to attain a speed
of thirty miles an hour and have in
contemplation a machine to accommo-
date five people. The balloon Of such
an apparatus would have to be 100
feet long and thirty feet In diameter
and would require four motors, each of
ten horse power. The balloon would
be made for safety's sake In compart-
ments and would require 10000 cubic
feet of hydrogen to initiate 1t.

The chief dangers are cooking q,
burning In the summer and freezln,
in the winter. To provide against ths
first, the fish flakes are protected MI
the summer through with white canvas
awnings to protect them from the heat
of the sun. Even with these it Is i'm.
possible to put the fish out on very
hot days. When the fish are burned Il
can be told by merely feeling of the
backs of the fish underneath; they have
become cooked and sticky with the
heat This means that the meat of the
fish will flake off when they are being
skinned, and will not hold together in
the various processes of preparing.
FREEING the fish often occurs In the
winter, If the days are too cold, and
the trouble from this is that they will
seem to be dry, when In reality thew
are frozen, and will be found to be
moist when put into the storeroom
When the fish is really cured the ex
pert can tell 1t from its appearance
principally from the small crystals Of

story of a struggle to appear respect

lighted an artist. And her beauty WAS
heightened by the pathos OF the eA-

THE LOST GARDEN.

Somewhere in the distant Southland
Blooms a garden-lost to me
Warm with peoples burning fragrant,
Drowsy fires may not see.
Subtle shadows fit and beckon
Down dim pathways bound with yew
Where white wrath wanders lonely
'Twixt the darkness and the dew.
an the ruined walls that echoed
Once to happy-hearted moods,
Now the stealthy, lightfoot lizards
Unmolested rear their broods.
"And beneath the oeanders,
No clear voice sings, as of old;
But the fleet caressing sunbeams
Whisper secrets to their mold.
Though / follow rs the southwind
Fares his way through wood and plain,
Though question hill and valley,
I shall never find again
my lost garden-where lie buried
Joys that swift the glad hours sped;
Only one could bid me enter;
Only Love-and Love Is dead!'

At the further end of the long store was
q table piled high with children's cloth

card, hung conspicuously above the ia

was little heap of baby shoes and
stockings, and among them tiny pair
Of blue shoes. They were bit faded
and worn, with faint creases at heel
and toe, where the chubby foot had
pressed It's weight against mothers
knee. The soft, white hand of the sales
lady seemed to linger caressingly upon
this particular pair, as she sorted over
the clothing for each new customer.

carrying their babies within shawls
that were their only covering. Bernice
Colby served them all graciously and
sweetly, yet, as each turned away, her
eve glanced with half relief at the tiny
blue shoes, still unclaimed.
"How foolish l am" she whispered to
herself. 'Why cannot give them up?"
With a sudden impulse she held them
out as a broad-faced Irish woman, with
a child in her arms, stood beside the
table.
"Och! Mem, but them's foine, in
dade," said the woman, with a gay
laugh. "But Jamey's fut ne'er'd squeeze
into the loikes O them"
A scarlet wave swept Bernice's cheek
as she dropped the little shoes and has
tiIy sought among the clothing for
something more suitable for the sturdy
"Jamey." Far back in the store, partly
hidden by the crowd, man stood,
watching Bernices table. 1t was a
dark, handsome face, yet showing the
marks Of dissipation. AS he witnessed
the little scene sneer curled his lips.
'Heartless and cold! Willing to sell
her dead baby's Shoes" he muttered.

Hastily pushing forward, the man ap-
preached the table. His upturned coat
collar and the soft felt hat, pulled down
over his brows, nearly concealed his
face, yet as he brushed past the eyes of
the two met. For a second the woin-
ans heart semed to stand still within
her bosom, as she recognized the mans
face; then he passed by and was gone
That night, as Bernice was being
driven to her own luxurious home, she
leaned back amidst the soft cushions
with weary sigh. Not because of the
unusual exertions of the day was she
spent and weary, but the sight Of that
dark, gloomy face, that for five years
she had longed, yet dreaded, to see,
had completely unnerved her. With
the past thus opened, the waves of
memory submerged her. Five years
before Bernice Colby had been happy
wife and mother. Then the dark angel
had snatched from her arms their pre-
cious burden. Selfishly yielding to the
grief that overwhelmed her, she had
neglected her wifely duties until her
husband had sought more cheerful
company and consolation in the wine
cup. Suddenly awakened to his intern
perate habits, repugnance and disgust
for the time, swept love from her heart,
and needless of his repentance and re-
morse, she drove him from her with
singing words of bitter scorn.
She sent him from her to do battle
alone with that dreadful demon that
lies in wait for the souls of the weak
and the unwary. Upheld by the praise
of false friends, she deemed herself
wise in thrusting from her so vile a
thing, yet in the long and lonely years
that followed the voice of conscience
spoke loudly in her ear. 1t said that
she herself was In measure, respon-
sible for her husbands downfall. That,
had she been stronger, drawer, her love
and faith, her prayers and purity of
living would have saved him. Alas:
She lad not stood the test! And so,
though lacking naught that riches can
buy, Bernice Colby was childless
mother and wife in name only
Tae rummage sale was still In prog
ress, and the next day Bernice stood
behind her table, smiling and gracious,
though i.e-- bright face hid an aching
heart. In turning over the garments
upon her table, she missed one of the
tiny blue shoes, and with faint smile
she took Its mate and thrust it quickly
within the bosom of her dress.
AS the day sped onward, heavy
storm arose, the most severe of the
season. A whirlwind of snowflakes
