careless smile. II let anyone handle

Equally Indifferent is Phalberg to
his diving suit, picking out one at ran
dom from the varied assortments that
hang. like grim specters, in the dress
ing room of the Master Divers wreck
ing wharf.
Curious is the fact that it is through
the sense of touch rather than sight
that divers identify objects at the bot
tom OF the sea. Before diving in search
OF a lost vessel the diver learns the
class to which she belongs. The ex-
pert is familiar with every detail in
the construction of all kinds of water
craft. He carries in his minds eye
TO the bottom the picture of the sunk
en- vessel, and when he reaches her he
measures every part with his out
stretched arms and hands. He can tell
upon which side she lies and whether
she struck fore or aft and the extent
OF her damages. Every fact he records
IN his memory. He has no other tab
let. When he signals to be hauled up

[ count to submit to the authorities as

on paper.

habit" laughed Phalberg, "of putting

mouth Often in blasting rocks l strike
my hnger, and to ease the pain I at
once raise it to my mouth, only to be
reminded that it's we'll hid behind the
lron-barred glass window at the front
or my helmet, through which the eyes
alone look out. The heavy gloves we
are opliged to wear from October to
April are very cumbersome and make
work slow and awkward. It's always
cold at the bottom of the sea in win

dress in heavy fiannels, as it I were
ABOUT TO strike for the north pole We
never know at the bottom
when there is a storm on top. The
deep remains unruffled.

smiled Phalberg. Excepting the lob

the deep peaceful. law-abiding citizens.

world and never met but one who had

fish, which the larger woud eat out of

upon the whole we are pretty good
friends"
Like all men who live closed to Ma
ture's heart, Phalberg is as simple as
child His comfortable land home at
New London, Conn, is rich in treasures
he has brought up from the deep. No
man in the world, perhaps, has so
unique a library as this old Swedish
diver. 1t consists of fifty-two vol
umes, all of his own writing. Time
stained note books, for the most part
contain the record he has kept for
twenty years of the hours he has
lived at the bottom of the sea. In all
that time he has not missed a day that
he can recall Allowing five hours a
day under water-and the honest old
Norseman says that figure is far below
his average-more than $4,000 hours of
his life has been lived on the bed of

sheet of tracing paper "a piece OF any
fairly transparent paper will answer
the purpose), and laying it over the
picture, trace it carefully the face and
figure of the young lady. When the pic
ture is finished the gentlemen should
be ranged in a stiff row in front of
her-stretching from the center TO the
extreme right of the picture.
The first step, now, is to pick out the
successful suitor for the dance; this
should be determined by the expression
of his face and the attitude of his arm.
The next thing is 10 arrange the row
of men in the proper order.
By way of hint we will say that the
depth of emotion increases with the
square of the distance from the fair
belle of the ball; and the varying feel
ings expressed are: Delight, bewilder-
ment, rage and despair. The faces cx-
press these emotions cleverly and so do
the figures to which they belong; but
be careful not to get the wrong head on
the wrong figure, etc.
Next week we will publish the picture
as it should look when correctly traced
and finished up.
Re member in tracing in the figures
and heads of the men, that these men
are in straight row and on line with
the figure of the girl.

CHAPTER 1.

TOM AND THE ANDlKONS.
II was perfectly natural in one re-
spect. anyhow. There was really no
reason in the world why Tom should
not lie upon the great bear skin rug
in front of The library fire those cold
winter nights if he wanted to, nor need
anyone be surprised that he should
want to. It was indeed a most de-
lightful place to lie in. The rug itself
was soft and in every way comforta-
BILE and comforting. The fireplace, IL
self Was one Of those huge hospitable
affairs that might pass in some apart
ment houses in our narrow cooped-up
city streets for a buffers pantry or
small reception room-in fact in the
summer time Tom used to sit in the
fireplace and pretend he was in his Of
fee transacting business with such of
his sisters dolls as could be induced
to visit him there; giving orders to
imaginary clerks and bookkeepers and
keeping an equally fanciful office boy
continually on the run. And then
apart from the rug and the fireplace
It was a beautiful room in which they
were. Toms father was very fond Of
books, and, although he was a great
many years older than Tom, he had not
forgotten how to enjoy the very same
kind of books that Tom liked. He was
rot ashamed to have one little niche
of his library filed with the stories

One Manages Great Biscuit Con-
Germ, Another Runs a Big Hotel.
Washington, Feb. There are few
trades and business enterprises nova
days that do not number some daunt-
less woman among their workers, man
ayers, or employees. Widows, thrown
upon their own resources, frequently
assume charge of their husbands bus
iness-perhaps an occupation they
never voluntarily would chosen-or
ambitious girls follow their fancy in
some strange, because novel occupa-
tion.
The only woman manager of a great
biscuit concern is Miss Jennie Hitch
ner, of Pittston, Pa, who succeeded her
father in full control of the National
Biscuit Company's plant.
One of the finest hotels in the south
is the new one in Jacksonville, Fla,
whose senior proprietor is Mrs. A. r.

the hotel business as a larger form of
housekeeping for which the training OF
the centuries has fitted them.

fishing houses.
Miss Vincent, once of Marblehead,
Mass, is earning a good living as a

A saw mill is successfully run by a

The chaperon is becoming extinct

person in Samoa. She is the constant
companion of the taupou. or village
guide, who is appointed to entertain
strangers and show them the various

that she should be the daughter of a
chief. Her house is provided for her by
the village and she is surrounded by
court of native girls. No man who
lives in the village is allowed to enter

Here the two Andirons gave a side
long glance at Tom, and saw that he
was smiling.

the Righthandiron. "Eh, Dormouse?"

Immense crowds, as usual, turned out

as it had been most of the previous
years.
Cambridge was the first to take the
water, Oxford following after a slight
delay, and both crews padded to the
moored skiffs at the startling line. The
start was delayed owing to the force
of the tide making it difficult to keep
the boats noses straight. Lieut. Col.
