beautiful corn silk hair fell across her

He held himself rigid, but in bis
veins was creeping a molten fire, and
the fire was beginning to glow DULY in
his eye. Her whole being called him.
And still she stood there before him,
saying nothing, leaning slightly toward
him, her red lips half parted, her eyes
fixed almost wistfully on his face.

The f1osd broke through him. He
seized her hungrily. He crushed her to
him until she gasped; he pressed his
lips against hers until she all but cried
out with pain of it; he ran his great
brown hands blindly through her hair

She drew herself from him with gen

soberly. ''but love you with all my

Then for the first and only time in his
life Thorpe fell to weeping, while she,
understanding. stood by and comforted
him.
The few moments of Thorpe's tears
eased the emotional strain under which
perhaps unconsciously he had been la
boring for nearly a year past. The
tenseness of his nerves relaxed. He sa-

who don't know what they want and
never find it till they've tried on all the

her best. She picked up an airy fairy
creation and poised it on the lady's

small, and it perched on the ladys

STEAMSHIP SUPPLIES.
Tens of Good Things Carried In the
Liners Lnrder.


Liners Lnrder.
In these days, when the telephone is
so common and it is so easy to tell the
marketman or the grocer lover the
phone" just what is wanted for the
days table supply, not many people
stop to consider what happens when
hundreds of human beings are con-
fined to one dwelling absolutely and
entirely out of reach of markets and
beyond the power of the telephone to
make their needs known. AT the first
thought one says, "There is no such
community or place." And probably
there is not on the American CONT
nent, yet sailing on all the seven seas
are great steamships in exactly that
situation. Every bit of their food and
drink must be provided before they
leave port, and provided in sufficient
quantities to last till the destination is
reached.
To supply a steamship for long voy
age with food supplies sufficient for
small army OF passengers in all classes
and crew of 300 requires lot of
thought and system. There are SO
many things that must be included.
For instance, take inventory of the
larder of the White Star liner Republic
on recent voyage from Boston to the
Mediterranean. For the trip, which
extended to Alexandria and required |
a whole month, the following quaint |
ties of provisions had to be put aboard, I
