Curious Transnortatinn,

A large shipment of Ruberoid roof
Ing some time ago went to Chinde
East Africa. 1t had been ordered il
rolls two-thirds the usual size, in or
der to make them light enough ii
weight to accommodate the native
carriers, who carry chem into the ID
terror of British East Africa. The
outside label should be pasted on ths
end of the rolls, instead of at thu
center. as Is usual. The reason giver
for this request is that the carrier
always carry the roofing on theh
heads, and 1t was found they though,
the label. which was stuck on the mid
die Of the roll. was meant to show
them where to put their heads. They
therefore, moulded a hollow In the roll

CHAPTER II.
The Lovers.

When Mrs. Wright and Laurance
Lowe left the smaller drawing room,
they turned their steps toward a d.
minutive apartment, where some late
arrivals were yet partaking of tea and
coffee. For some minutes neither
spoke. Laurance Lowe was a singu-
larry silent man, and Mrs. Wright
was by no means an excessive talker.
They understood each other thorough
", and both enjoyed these long spells
Of silence. Lowe found a seat for
Mrs. Wright in the dimly lighted cor
ridor, just outside the small coffee
room, end let her there while he went
In quest Of the coffee. Presently he
returned and sat down beside her.
"Lena," said Lowe, pensively, as he
stirred his coffee, lis looking lovely to-
night"
Through the curtained doors the
cadence Of a slow, soft waltz reached
their ears, rising and falling on the
heavy atmosphere. Mrs. Wright was
anxious this evening, and little rest
less. She had that morning received a
telegram from her husband, announc-
ing his arrival at BrIndisl on the home
ward voyage from India, and she had
not seen him for two anxious, weary
years. She slipped her coffee, and
glanced over her cup toward Laurance
Lowe. His great eyebrows were drawn
forward. SO that his eyes were in i'm
penetrable shadow. He looked very
old and somewhat worn, but he had
looked so for many years.
Yes. Lanrance," said she, softly, u
am little proud OF my daughter"
He made no reply. but continued to
stir his coffee ahsently. Presently he
moved slightly and looked up, drawing
in deep breath.
Thursday morning. he said, In a
slightly interrogative tone. This was
the time mentioned by Colonel Wright
in his telegram for the arrival of him
self aud Vineyard Mistley at Victoria
Station.
Yes; Thursday morning, at half-pasi
seven. VIII you come with us to meet

Lowe shook his head slowly and with
much deliberation.

Lowe, knowing that he was preaching
a pleasing subject
"Yes. he will end her grown. she is
a young lady now, and quite quite =

suggested Lowe. Mrs. Wright turned
and their eyes met. Loves were
! grave: but there was about the lines Of
his face faint suggestion Of a smile.

way Of smiles, by reason OK the long

Brave Fight with Death.

Despite the heroism of his compan-
fons, Theodore Sherman, young
grocer, of AlIenwood, died from the
effects OF gunshot wound received
while out on Barnagat Bay after
ducks. Sherman, Lee Newman and
Edward Heaviland were out In a
sneak box when they discovered a
flock of ducks swimming not far off.
Sherman hurriedly reached for his
gun, grasped by the muzzle. The
hammer caught and the weapon was
discharged. The load entered the
gunner in the left breast, penetrating
the lung. Newman and Heaviland
started to row ashore, but found the
ice impeding their progress. Norman
Van Note saw their plight and for
two miles broke the ice ahead OF
them to permit their passage. When
the reached Mantoioking, Van Note
placed the wounded man upon his
back and carried him to the railroad
station. Mo physician was TO be had
the party was compelled to wait for
hours for the night train to pass up
the beach to get Sherman to the hos
pital at Spring Lake. There he died
a half-hour later from loss of blood.

There was a large attendance at
the annual meeting of the Gloucester
County Teachers Association in the
Court House at Woodbury.. Professor
Senser, of the State Board of Educa-
ton, spoke on the work in the State.
He said the State had no use for high
schools, but for a good twelve-year
course, and that efforts are being
made all along the line to make
school life stand for something in the
State. He urged that teachers teach
from practical standpoint; that
they encourage good education
among farmers children to stay on
the farm. Look at the conductors
on the street cars In Philadelphia, =
he said They are making probably
50 day, and they are principally
from the farm. Teach them to stick
to the farm. But to do this the
teacher must study country life and
be able to tell of the advantages it
offers" He told of what the State
Board of Education had in hand for
the future, and that there were many
faults to be remedied. Professor
Philips, of the West Chester, Pa,
Academy, also spoke. These officers
were elected: President, w. H. Ed
ridge, Williamstown; Vice-President,
Professor Fleetwood, Bridgeport;
Secretary, H. L. HANDLE, Woodbury.;
Treasurer, d. s. Steelman, Glassboro.
