! There was something in his tone thai
made her blush, and though she agreed
with him, she took the first opportunity
Of clearing of to another part of the
i deck.
Shortly afterwards we put to sea.
For the next few days we had the
best weather, and everything went
smoothly. I could see one or two
things that set me thinking. The
first was that the old man was making
himself uncommonly attentive to Miss
Sanford. The second was that Mr..
Hay, in quiet and timid sort of way,
was thinking a good deal Of her too.
For my, part, thought the girl fancied
Hay rather than Hoskins; and though
she couldn't avoid the "old man." and
could not help listening to his sea
yarns, / could see her eyes turning
forwards towards the waist, where
Hay was putting in his time looking
at the lion.
One afternoon the skipper was sit
ting beside Miss Sanford on the poop
deck, when Hay came up the COM
panion and made his way towards
them.
There's something I want to tell
you, Captain" he said. "It's getting
on my mind and making me quite un-
comfortable. That man whose BUSH
ness it is to look after the lion isn't
doing his work properly The animal
isn't getting enough food. It Is de-
veloping savage nature. And yester-
day, when / went to see the man about
it, ! found that he was intoxicated.
I really think you should interfere"
OF course, the "old man" should
have interfered. But he didn't like
being told his duty by the little Pro-
fessor, especially when the girl was
about, so he just sneered.
II 81 pose you're afraid of the beast
escapingY' he said.
II should certainly regard it as un-
Fortunate" the little man replied.
"You see, drunken man might be
careless about the fastenings. I must
really insist upon your speaking to
him."
"He's not one Of my crew." said
Hoskins. II have enough to do to
look after them. If any Of them get
drunk, they'll hear of it. But this chap
is passenger, even If he is only
Storage one. He can do as he likes
with his spare time. II you're SO
darned frightened about the beast,
you'd better look to the fastenings
yourself"
Excuse me-" said the Professor
stif1y, "that Is not my business. The
animal does not belong to me. I have
done what / believe to be my duty and
can say no more"
He turned away without even a
glance at the girl.
"That man." said Hoskins, looking
after him, sis frightened Of his own

Margaret Anglin, who refused to pro-
coed with the third act of William
Vaughn Moody's play until he signed
a document giving her the exclusive
American, English and Australian
rights to it, was born in the Canadian
House of Parliament twenty-five years
ago. That her birthplace was un-
usual resulted from the fact that her
father, Timothy Anglin, was Speaker
OF the Canadian House and her mother
was there during session.
Miss Anglin has been on the stage
ten years, her first important engage
ment being with James O'Neill, with
whom she played Mercedes in Monte
Cristo." In Mansfield's production Of
the famous "Cyrano de Bergerac" she
had the part Of Roxanne, and later
was star In the Empire Theatre Stock
Company Of New York. For two years
she has been at the head of her own
company, and has achieved marked
success in "Zira."

Bravery, Doctor, said my friend the
/ third officer, isn't such q simple thing
as you think 1t. One man is brave in
one way, and another in different one.
AOften enough, that which is called
bravery is nothing more than custom.
j You wouldn't go up on the fore-royal-
yard in half a gale to reef sail, would
you? Not you! You'd be afraid.
Well, you might think me a brave man
because ] would. But then I'd be
afraid to cut chaps leg of, and you
wouldn't.
That was what old Captain Hoskins,
whom / used to sail with, could never
understand. Ii man was a bit nerv-
GUS about the sea, he used to look
down on him as all sorts of a coward
But there came day when he learned
better.
It happened when was with him
IN three-masted sailing-ship, the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, along
side Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading
with a general cargo for Liverpool.
Inc principal object in that cargo was
a lion that we were shipping for
London. 1t lay in strong cage of
WOOD and iron, with a door in the
front through which it could be fed.
II was fine big brute, and every time
II stretched itself you could see the
n%tles slipping over its sides and the
Dig, ,wlcked-looking claws peeping out
OF the pads of it's feet in a way that
mace you very thankful for the bars.
we mad a passenger or two, one OF
Wnom was young girl who went by
the name Of Hilda Sanford. Directly
the OLD man set eyes on her trim figure
ana her wealth of golden hair, he was
struck all of heap, SO to speak, and l
could see that he was promising him
sell mighty pleasant voyage.
Inc other passenger was strange,
lean, Wiry man, who wore gold eye
glasses, and kept peering about the
snip IN a most uncomfortable way.
He gave his name as Professor Hay,
though we didn't find out what he pro-
fessed until later.
An hour or two before we started
this Mr.. Hay came up to the old man
and began asking him a lot Of ques-
tions
captain" he said nervously, II hope
We shall have quiet passage"
Il don't see why we shouldn't"
said Hoskins genially.
Mr.. Hay looked up at the sky.
"There seems to be Z good deal Of
wind about" he said.
pretty fair" said Hoskins. "That's
what's going to take us home. Not |
being steamer, we can't do without I
It."
you're sure it's quite safe?' asked |
Hay.
"Safe" says the old man, getting on
Bis high horse, safe! I'm sailing this

of England's Knight Grants her re-
doubtable men-at-arms and her won
drous long-bowmen, during the period
when all France was harried by the
famous Black Prince. In those times,
when gunpowder was just coming to
be used in a crude form, the English
long-bowman could send his gray
goose shaft, with deadly effect, dis
tanc of 420 yards, or practically
quarter Of mile. The bows were
made Of yew, tough and springy, and
the arrows were of ash, long, and
feathered and straight.

The Muck Rake writer's are said to be
going after the fertilizer trust: probably
not, however. tooth and nail.
It Is annouced that the pump trust will
increase Its capital stock by some eight
million dollars. We refrain from making
the usual watery remarks which might Be
suggested In this connection.
Friends Of Secretary Taft admit that q

architecture has a small chance OF escape
when an enthusiastic Presidential bee takes
q notion to set after him IN earnest.

If the good people Of Salisbury
and Rowan county wants repre-
sentation in the lower house of the

e that they have candidates in the
field who do not veal the collar
or livery of q boss. There will be
important matters, bond issues, the
creation of new offices and other
schemes put upon us if we are not
awake to the preservation Of our
rights and the welfare of our

Give us good men for office and
decent Democracy and all will be
we'll, but a boss ridden Democracy
is as vile and as much to be de-
spised as the rule of negroes and
carpet baggers. Let the people
arise in their wrath and see that
they have representation lin the
lower house of the next Legislature
and force the boss to take his vile
hands off the law-making positions
that are the only safeguards of the
peoples rights.

The Chicago Evening Post in
an effort to prove the extravaganza
of municipal ownership of public
utilities points out the fact that
the Indebtedness of municipalities
of Great Britain has increased
from 1865, 600, 900 in 1884 to
81, $50, 000.O 900 in 1894, and this
is acknowledged by all sensible
people as a most convincing
argument, but there are a few
spend-thrift sap-heads in most all
communities who say that no
town is prosperous unless it is
heavily in debt.

Important Work.

Now that farmers are about
through working their crops,
they can employ themselves do
ing jobs about the farm which
had to be neglected until now
Shrubs and small bushes in the
pastures should be cut down to
let the grass grow. Our pastures
prefer to grow trees instead of
grass. This is the great drawback
to pastures. A shrubbing at
least once year is necessary.
Weeds in fence jams and on
} ditch banks and around yards
and lots should be cut down.
This will prevent the raising
and scattering of seed to all
parts of the farm.
All bitches and terraces should
be carefully repaired. Now is the
>tAne to do this work and much
other work of this kind about
the farm.-J. NJ. Beatty, in
