Fourteen months ago, to be exact, becom- ing tired of everyday existence and the commonplace happenings of the ordinary world, I determined to see little of out side affairs and acquaint myself with the customs and doings of other people in the faraway countries which I had so often read about.
 I made several unsuccessful attempts to go to sea, and one day, when almost despairing of ever shaking local soil of my feet, man. aged to get into the good graces of cap tain of sailing ship, the Pestalozzi by name, German bark, bound for Sydney, Australia.
 After some conversation with the skipper, I was engaged as a cabin boy and told to re- port for duty at 4 o'clock on the following morning.
 The next day, having arrived on time, I was put to work immediately scrubbing the cabin fioors--only a forerunner of the hard work which awaited me.
 One bright day in March, when resumed | my routine for the day, found all in com motion. On inquiring, I learned that we were soon to set sail. tugboat took us in tow, our naWSerS were cast loose, unu we slowly passed down the bay.
 l But must revert to an amusing incident which occurred just before we weighed an- chor. We were short of sailors. One had run away and another had been stabbed in drunken brawl ashore; so our captain had to resort to the old practice of "shang- haing," as it is called. He made known his lack of sailors to boardlnghouse keeper, and Franz, Swiss, speaker of seven modern languages, was supplied, being first made beastly drunk, so that he would not know what was being done to him. He tumbled aboard, rollicking and singing, just as the ship was about to pull out. While the boat was conducting us out of the harbor he recovered his senses enough to see he was being victimized, and cast himself headlong into the tugboat, nearly frightening the fire man out of his wits. He had hoped all too fondly to gain the land again this way. As soon as he was perceived, the mate con- manded the sailors to fetch him aboard again, which was done in spite of his frantic struggling, during which his clothes were nearly torn off his body. He was cast in irons and imprisoned in the bo'sun's locker to sober up. This was my first insight of \ saAaE's life.

them to do. They would never build branch for us. We can't see our way clear to go in
 ''Is there no way to induce them to come here without their knowing of your interest in the place." queried MT. Livingston. The autocrats consulted for time.
 We will do this, Livingston" said MT. Hughes. ''If you can get,the branch here we will go in heavy, give your client one third interest in return for his property and work the mine to the limit. Now, you go for the railroad, and we will arrange the details afterward if you are successful" They All went away, leaving George almost i'll with disappointment.
 Before aoon the next day the whole region about Eagles Nest knew of the result of the capitalists visit That night mysterious meeting was held in Mr. Dobbins' little house. The next morning Zeb Tucker passed Eagles Nest, siding a raw-boned pony and wearing new suit of homespun. "Goin' t taown!' he cried to Helen, who stood on the porch Got eny errants?" She shook her head sorrowfully.
 Two days later tall and very awkward young man made perilous trip across the crowded thoroughfare of lower Broadway and entered one of the skyscraping office buildings. Seems t be tn place." he unused. He'd enuff trouble gettin' this fur, but looks like I'll hey t git CT search warrant t find tn room" At last, however, he entered the offices of great railroad and stood amazed at the sight before him. Looks like CT hull taown be itself," he murmured in dismay. Want t see tn president" he explained to a much be -brass-buttoned office boy.
 What about?" inquired the youth.
 "Baout business replied Feb. multi tude of questions as to the nature of his business with the president followed. He answered with growing anger. His eye caught the gilt lettering on glass door op- poste. He read, Samuel Hicks, president" ]"
 "You will have to talk with Mir Barer; Mir. Hicks Is too busy" said the office boy with an air of decision. Suddenly he felt himself lifted by mighty arm and put down again on the other side of the railing. Feb opened the glass door and entered. A stout, red faced man sat at an elaborate desk. He glared at Feb with evident anger. "Haow air ye, Mir. Hicks?" said Feb Tucker. The president looked as If he would burst with rage. 'Who are you? What do you want What Is your nameT he cried. "want t talk baout runnin' CT branch of yer railroad ter CT mine," announced Feb. Names Zeb Tucker; ain't thet CT nice name?' he added | pleasantly.
 The great man laughed. "sit down, MT. | Tucker, and have a cigar" he said, and laughed again as Feb sat on his hat in his | confusion.

heard eagerly by all. He announced, as George had expected that a rich and very large vein of zinc had evidently been uncoy- cred by the snowsllde, which had torn the ground away just above it. The vein seemed, he said, to form practically the entire hill. and the tilting of the strata in places indl- cated that 1t descended to unknown depths. It was undoubtedly q very valuable prop erty, and everything necessary to its sue cessful development was at hand, but George caught his breath with foreboding- the cost of hauling the ore 30 miles to railroad will materially reduce its profts," he said. ''Witha branch of the railroad here the ground holds fortune. Without it there is fair profit on the investment, but noth- ing more"
 That settles it," said the corpulent Mir. Hughes. "You know we have been fighting with the M. & NJ road for years. They are the only line anywhere near this place, and they would rejoice nightly over a chance to refuse anything we should ask

George could hardly realize his good for tune, but the Judge assured him that the de- posit of zinc appeared to be a very large one from the size of the outcropping mass on the hillside. ''Then, foo," said the Judge, ''the expense of working 1t will be almost nothing In comparison to the value of the ore for the vein is so exceptionally large that an i'm mense quantity can be mined wssb out going much below the surface of the ground.

only endurable to these two city waifs, but a positive pleasure by their rude help and friendly offices.
 That night George wrote to MT. Living ston, the lawyer who had attended to the settifng of his fathers estate. The lawyer was told of the large zinc deposit, which promised to be so easily accessible in pay ing quantities. A week later MT. Living ston, with three capitalists and mining ex pert, rode wearily up the mountain trail that led to Eagles Nest. The mining ex- pert was the only one of the party not overcome by fatigue, and all were glad to enter the cool hall of the shooting lodge, and fully appreciated the dainty meal which

Here l was seated on 2 board which extended across barrel full or salt water and told 10 prepare for the visita- ton of Father Neptune. First they De- daubed my face plentifully with tar ana soap; then I was shaved with a wooden azor about a foot long. When answered several questions put to me, brush dr'p- ping with the nauseating lather was showed into my mouth. To cap the climax, my sup port suddenly gave way, and was soused in the barrel of water until exhausted. When 1t came Franz's turn he drew knife and showed fight. All those who could not prove by a certificate that they had crossed the line before were subjected to the same treat ment.

 When the equator was crossed the sailors indulged in pastime known as the visiting of Father Neptune. The sailmaker disguised himself with a rope end and befoured face, taking the part of the deity mentioned. Marching aft to see the captain, who was waiting on the Sridge, all wreathed in smiles, the sailors fell in behind him, one playing an accordion, another beating time on a drum. They each received drink of

 'I hope you will represent my interests fully in this natter" said George to Mir. Livingston when the rest were out of ear shot.
 ''I was about to propose to do so," replied the lawyer. "These gentlemen know me; in fact, have handled many large transactions for them, and they would not attempt any little subterfuges with me that they might be tempted to try on a young man of your years and inexperience In business matters"

 The Judge and George found Helen indus .riously repairing the ravages of time on walking skirt. Her eyes glowed wonder fully as George told her of the possible mine f wealth on the rocky hillside, and as he ,nished she gave a little gasp of delight.

 Into Flower Town so fair. And, If you will closer draw, l will tell you what I saw What saw when I went down Into fragrant Flower Town. Tall Miss Hollyhock, you see, Dressed in satin, rich and rare, Gave her friends little tea Sort of afternoon affair.
 Miss Tea Rose assisted her (Just inside the leafy door), And created quite a stir With the gorgeous gown she wore. Sweet Miss Mignonette was there, Sitting near the Primrose girls; And Miss Honeysuckle fair, With her tresses all in curls; Miss Sun1ower, tall and slim; Fluffy Miss Chrysanthemum, China Asters, stiff and prim; Modest Rose Geranium. Miss Forget Me-Not, in blue; Both the Tulip twins, in red, And the Daisy sisters, too Yellow bows around their heads; Miss Larkspur, in purple pomp; Johnny Jump Ups, full of fun; And you should have seen them romp, Playing pranks on every one.
