Mrs. Phipps, "heverybody runs halter

and in 'eaven never cared for beauty"

the beach. He could have weighed

AS they debouched from behind the
rocks, to the Captains confounding,
he beheld Pegley and Nora in the boat
some distance from the shore, the
former plying the oars.
"Ahoy," beloved the Captain, what
are you about?"
BE back in jiffy," yelled Pegley,
in return, "only a little row."
Look out for the tide" shouted
the Captain anxiously.
Pegley promptly sought to return
to the Island, but the tide was too
strong for him and the boat drifted
rapidly towards the town.
Hoist sail and come back, you
can't make it rowing" halloed the
Captain.
But Mr.. Pegley knew nothing about

morning, addressing the Captain, who
was wrapped in Zimmerman gloom,
your plan was a first rate one; there

"You see" said John Pegley, luck
tongues end to ask Miss Phipps to
marry me for six months. I've pol
ished up the words so that I'm sure
she would say yes If she could only
hear 'em, but can't get chance.
The moment l get alone with her and
get my mouth open to say those words
some one always breaks in, either her
mother or that fool Dempsey who's
dangling after her"
why don't you write em and send
,em by post?" asked the Captain.
Because they were made up to be
spoken, and it took six months nearly
to get EN- together. They wouldn't
go well written. They must be spok-

There never was head wind" re-
marked Captain Holly, impressively,
"but what, with right handlin' of the
braces and the wheel, some sort of
progress can be made. l can rig a
plan to have those words of your'n
spoke as easy as twistin' line over
belayin pin"
Mr.. Pegley looked at his friend ad-
miringly.
Now" said the Captain, suppose
I ask Miss Nora Phipps to go sailing
in my boat down to Crane Island.
Shed go in a minute, for no one
has better boat in the harbor. Sup
pose, as we go down to the boat, we
should happen to meet you and ask
you to go along. When we gets to
the Island may walk up and look at
the rocks, and you and Nora could
walk along the beach"
"Captain!" cried Mr.. Pegley, you're
genius"
"Ny conscience isn't clear, my lad"
retorted the Captain, "I'm no marryin'
man myself, and I'm not anxious to
get other people to make fools of
themselves. No wife for Thomas
Holly, my lad"
Thank you for the plan," cried
Pegley, wringing his hand. Its

In a new pea Jacket Captain Holly
walked down the wharf in company
with Nora Phipps, the prettiest girl
in Redham. Suddenly from behind a
pile of goods appeared Mr.. John
Pegley looking as little like a man
taken unawares as possible.
In response to the cordial invitation
OF Captain Holly to accompany them
on sail to Crane Island, Mr.. Peg
ley, with clumsy feint of doubt if
business would permit him the out
ing, consented, and the party were
about to embark. when Nora asked
them to wait few moments.

Gently. "and we must wait for her."
The Captain looked at Mr.. Pegley
with CONSERVATION written legibly on
his bronzed countenance, and Mr..

of expressions on his face.

Island.
When Crane Island was reached
the Captain ran his boat alongside

barked. Mr.. Pegley at once led Miss
Nora along the beach, and Mrs. Phipps
expressed longing to visit the rocks
in the center of the Island.

Lazy Jim.


He was lazy truly lazy,
Full of sloth and Incidence;
His ideas weren't hazy,
But he couldn't see the sense
In a ceaseless round of labor.
So he shirked upon his neighbor.
Lazy Jim the neighbors called him,
And he answered to the name.
Often DER the Goals they hauled him,
Cared he not nor did he blame
Any one for carping, Gliding
What to him was their deriding?
Only at their trouble laughing,
Caring naught for hardships. he;

Lying prone beneath a tree,
Watching birds and bees together
In the pleasant Summer weather.

He'd remark in lazy drawl.
