trailing limbs, he was carried down
below, and laid in bunk. The deck
was tidied up, the men quietly dis
persed. The routine of the ship went
on as before.
The captain was still on the bridge.
The danger might not yet be wholly
past; and his post was there. Some
thing, it may be, was Juggling at his
heartstrings, dragging him below to
his boys side; but he stood firm.
The safety of the ship, the lives of
the passengers, were committed to
his charge. There lay his duty.
In the bright sunny morning, when
the passengers strolled up on deck,
there was nothing to indicate the
peril they had escaped during the
night. The captains face, perhaps,
was little more deeply lined and a
shade graver than usual. They no.

bridge he frequently turned glance

And presently, as he saw the white

"Well?' was all he said.

his face stern and firm-set as ever,

He took the blow without f1inchins-
They were now in the channe,
with shipping on every side. His
place was still on deck. Without a

THE WAY or II.

A little child, he sobbed and cried,
Because he could not have the moon.
His kind nurse, to console him, lied
And said she'd get it pretty soon.
But still above it shone serene;
It threw its beams his window through
And Knocked him with its silver sheen,
And seemed to say: I'm not for YOU
It was so fair. so round and bright
That still for want of it he wept
They had that trouble every night ~
Until he got tired out and slept.
Poor little curly-headed lad!
To be denied. so slight boon!
1t really was almost too bad
He could not have that pretty moon.
But time rolled on, he wiser grew
When childhood passed and boyhood
came.
He did not want the moon-he knew
Quite well he could not have the same.
But now he has another plan,
And time will prove o him its worth:
Now grown to be whiskered man,
1t seems as if he wants the earth.

Duty First"
An Episode at Sea
BY JOHN ALEXANDER.

THINGS happen at sea-things
fraught with deadly peril to all
on board-of which the ordinary pas
senger knows nothing at the time;
never gets to hear of perhaps. In the
dead of night, when he is snugly tucked
up in his berth below, Death may come
and take runaway knock at the ship
without his being one whit the wiser.
The danger is known only to the Of
ficers; they see it, realize that an ap-
palling disaster may result, and Crap
pie with it, quietly, secretly. For at
such critical moments it is vitality es-
sential that the passengers should be
allowed to retain their sense of secur-
ity, lest they break into mad, un-
thinking panic.
Who knew, for instance, on that
dark night at sea, when the great Cape
liner was heading up the English chan
mel, and her hundreds of passengers
we're at rest in their state-rooms, that
terrible element of destruction had
laid hold on the heart of the ship I?
They slept, those passengers, uncon-
scious of the danger; ignorant of the
life-and-death struggle which was be-
ing waged up there on deck. If one
or two happened to be disturbed by
something trailing along above their
heads, they probably turned round in
their berths without giving it sec
ond thought. And yet if they had
known it was fire hose!
Fire: the most appalling, the most
terrifying word that can be whispered
at sea.
It had broken out in the hold amid
ships. Smoke was oozing in sluggish
wreaths from the matches. The cargo
down there was smouldering. And at
any moment that shoulder might
burst into fierce, ravaging, devouring
flames.
The captain, cool in the presence of
danger, prompt to think and act, had
mounted with steady step to the
bridge and taken charge. The firm-set,
bronzed face of him had looked down
upon many scenes of devastation and
terror when his strong, ruling hand
had made itself felt and quelled the
panic amongst the seething, struggling
mass below. And now, in this sudden
and startling emergency, he had the
same resolute, masterful grip of the
situation.
The ships officers of every grade
were at their posts. Away aft the
purser was on guard at the head of the
saloon stairs ready to reassure any
timorous passengers who might catch
the alarm and induce them to return
quietly to their berths. The doctor
the father" of the ship by virtue
of his grey hairs-had slipped out on
deck and had made his way forward,
for at sea men do not pause to count
the cost when called upon to face
danger, and his services might be
needed at any moment. There was no
noise, no fuss. no confusion. If an
order came from the bridge it came
in the usual calm, firm tones of COM
mand never once raised above the or
binary level.
Grouped around the burning hold,
where the lanterns swayed with the
roll of the ship, the men, headed by

Steaks In Rubber Pockets.

Walters at a fashionab BILE summer re-
sort hotel were recently found tohave
supplied their working jacket with in
side rubber pockets. Into these they
would slip choice viands from the
kitchen, which they would then serve
to customers and the proceeds went
into their own pockets. Every rub
ber-pocketed man was, of course, dis
charged, and the familiar cry of rub
bert" at that hotel now would create
a panic.-Chicago Chronicle.

WOMEN ARE AT A PREMIUM,

The deficiency of women in Cape Col
ony and throughout South Africa pre-
sents an inviting field for women who
are weary of single blessedness, for
there is great shortage of fair ones
in that part of the world, says the Lon
don News. So far as can be learned

The actual disproportion in the imme-
date future will be far greater"
No scheme of Anglification in South
Africa, the writer points out, can be
effective which neglects the inevitable
consequence of a lack of women. The
Boer women are gaining upon the
British at the rate of about 1000
year. If an organization were created
which would insure the dispatch of
5000 women from the United Kingdom
in each year 1000 would be set of
