THE SINKING OF TIE DELlLAH:
FIRST Story of the Sea, Based on the Use

rock rears its head above the sea some
teur miles from the Shore barren: btu,

The clouds had been driving r6iind
the Lizard point for several days,
forming solid banks of blackness in

rock from the strongest telescope. The

the storm: Ships already caught In,
Its fierce clutches had telegraphed its
advent to the watcher, and he, Jove-
like, had hurled electric warnings of
the danger to otner boats.
John Priest felt the nervous excite
ment in the air communicate itself to
his body, filing him with vague un.

His companion was waiting at the
door.
I'm glad you're not late" he said.

WATKINS MORAL COURAGE
story Told of n Member of the COni
strike COmmisSiOn.

The following story about Thomas IL
Watkins. member of the anthracite
strike commission, illustrating his stern
acknowledgment of duty. is told with
glee by his friends. Nearly twenty
years ago, when he was manager of
store connected with the PancOaSt col
licry, one of the mine employees was
attacked with smallpox. says Scran-
ton special 10 the Philadelphia I'rcSs.
The man wHs placed i'll an Isolated
dwelling and a quarantine WAS de
clarcd. but, despite the official orders
some of the patients friends insisted
upon visiting him. One of these. big
fellow, went into the house with an air
OF bravadO. and no one seemed 10 have
enough authority to stop him
1t was then that Mr.. Watkins. cmcrg-
ing from the store, marched after the
offender in determined way which
those who knew the young man rccoS-
niztd us meaning business. Without Il
word he followed into the plague strick-
eli house. SraSpcd the visitor 10y the
collar. hustled him out and took him
several miles Ia the lookup. He did
not take the smallpox. and he did Cf-
fcctually establish quarantine at the
risk Of his own life. 1t WIS not his
personal duty. but he realized the dan
ger To the community from the laXitY
of discipline and assumed the RESPONSE
bility.
II is with this sort of moral courage
that hc has gone un through the years
doing the duty that seemed To his CON
Scicm - 10 Ice laid upon him. II has
especially equipped him for valuable
service on the anthracite commission.

THE THANKSGIVING TABLE.
Some Hints For Decorating the Fes-
tive Board.


A charming centerpiece for the
Thanksgiving table seen last year was
a mound OF fruit arranged on u small
silver tray that, resting on silver feet.
was elevated an inch or more from the
cloth, says Harper's Bazaar. 4 wreath
Of autumn leaves encircied the tray.
and the fruit was artistically arranged
with the leaves and dropping wisps OF
bearded grain. y rustic basket Of any
Sort or an Indian canOe-either one is
q pretty holder for the centerpiecc of
fruit. 4 large horn of plenty is fire.
qucntly used or smaller ones arranged
at the corners of the table. with flow
ers and fruit filling them. The Thanks
giving table. as Il rule, is apt To be
very hOspitable board and of gencr-
Gus length, which will absorb good
deal of decoration. One effective de-
sign had the cHntcrpiece OF fruit and
at either end of the table a Shcaf of
wheat nearly two feet high, with Il
cluster of rich American Beauty roses
rising out of the center of each sheaf.
On n smaller table this decoration may
be used alone as Il ccntcrpiecc. The
combination of the hUthoaSe and mod
ern flower with the wheat, represent
Ing the very necessity OF life, seems Il
little incOnGruous in suggestion. Ac-
tually. however, the gold of the grain
and the rich color of the rose form Il
most attractive combination.
If one has access to country fields in
November, the glowing rcd berries and
vines and branches of gorgeous hu"S

tic material. The duwny thistle balls
picked ut the right time are effective
mixed with autumn vines and berries.
