The weather is a bit cooler now
than in midsummer, when snow in Col

sun melted the masses down it slid
into the valleys with crash and a

cliffs were sliced off like butter before

Hov 7luins :Saued the Day
By James Barr.

In the long history OF the British
navy there cannot be found another
such notifying episode, yet the Brit
ish empire broke into a broad grin
when all the circumstances became
known
AS the Cunard liner Emilia threaded
her way down the intricate St. Law
renee with the prince and princess OF
Wales on board, peace was being rap
idly metamorphosed into war.
When the Emilia was off the east
coast Of Anticosti a wireless message
announced actual war between Eng
land and France. Commodore Sam
son, in command, wired that he would
take the Belle Isle route, and make
direct for Blacksod bay, Ireland.
The French had this advantage:
they decided on war while yet the
English were feeling for peace. This
gave Lieut.. Odette his chance. His
destroyer, the Serpent, lay at Brest,
and "a hours before the certainty of
war was known in London he slipped
to sea under cover of the night. Head
ing due west, he held to that course.
Two o'clock in the morning two
days later the Serpent hung just be-
low the horizon, running parallel with
the Emilia and her cruisers. A haze,
funnel high, lay thick on the face of
the water
Suddenly from the crow's-nest of
the Emilia something looked as If,
out there in the haze, three stove-lids
were off, allowing the flames of a
fierce fire to lick and overflow. The
bluejacket on lookout was not at a
loss, even for the fraction of second,
to account for the apparltion. de
stroyer astern!' he began to call out.
Before Commodore Samson realized
the import Of the tidings, alongside
swept the dark shape, so close he
could have tossed his gloves upon it's
quivering decks. Odette held a mega
phone to his lips.
Hard aport!" he bawled. lizard

The order was obeyed as though it
had been given by the Commodore
himself.
When the Emilia had cone to a
ponderous pause, Odette kept way on

his craft, circled around and around
TO lower away boat, as he wished to
put an officer and few men aboard
lie liner. This was done, and Lieut..
Langlois with a half dozen blue
Jackets was rowed aboard.
Lieut.. Langlois made direct to the
bridge. There he was met by Com
modore Samson.
Il have not my sword, and there
fore cannot offer it to you, sir" said
the commodore, looking the young
lieutenant unflinchingly in the eye.

sengers I carry!-" he could say no
more.

fully understand why it is that I have
the honor of standing on this bridge
with you," said the Frenchman. Gas

it but when it hangs by your. side''
II thank you," said the commodore,
with genuine warmth.
Lieut.. Odette made up his mind to
lose no time. 1t was by no means his
intention to take the most direct route
to Brest, his mission being mostly
Spectacular. He would mortify that
naughty, domineering island people in
IA way that they and theirs would re-
member for ever.
The newspapers called on the ad-
miralty to do something, reminding
my lords of the amount of money law
ished on the feet; but what could my
lords do? They were not wizards,
royal lives were at stake, and the
Frenchman's torpedo tubes were
loaded.
Then, when the Emilia had come
full in view of the grim units of the
Channel and Home fleet, the British
flag, which all this time had been al
lowed to fly over the Emilia, was
hauled down<and the French flag bent
on above it and run to the masthead.
Thousands beheld this done, for it
would seem that all England had
rushed to the south coast, and there
were many wet eyes. After this final
touch, Odette swung around and made
direct for BTes*- ::

is kept away from his native land,
possibly it was an army scrape, but
however this may be, he receives his
remittance regularly. And when he
gets his remittance he always cele'

Davis received his check one day
last week, and after settling all his

The mans unkempt hair hung down
upon his greasy coat collar. His rag.
ged trousers scarcely met his shoe
tops, his shoes were down at the heel
and his faded coat was several sizes
too small.
Davis stopped and regarded this be.
ing with close attention. Then, walk

stature towering high above the
stranger, he looked him over critical

gently around as he might clothing

Many time the Great Spirit has been

he cloud over the Miller bill which
proposed to do so much for Greater Biz
mingham. is growing thicker and thick
er, and it now appears that when the
time comes for voting upon taking in the
unincorporated territory around the city
there will be none to take in.
East Birmingham and Kingston are
following the example of Elyton and
Greymont, and a petition is now being
circulated. having many signatures upon
It, to incorporate all the eastern territory
under the name of East Birmingham.
Not to be outdone by the brave Elyton,
East Birmingham is even more greedy.
The proposed limits mentioned in the pc
tition come up to the Birmingham limits
all the way across, from North Birming-
ham to Red mountain, taking in praeti-
cally the greatest industries of the city,
including the Sloss1Sheffield Steel and
Iron companys big furnaces, the South
ern railway shops, the big oil mills the
nine foundry, the nut and bolt factory
three machine shops and all kinds of in
dustries, as well as the Country club and
a few other things for good measure.
Rivals Birmingham In Size.
Thiss town would rival Birmingham in
Its size and the number of its manufac-
turing plants 1t would also include part
of the finest residence section on Red
mountain around the Country club and
various other rich sections. In size 1t
would be at least two-thirds the area OF
Birmingham.
The petition has been circulated by l.
c. Beatty, who has secured many sigma
lures. and now holds the paper ready 70
draw at any time. However, he SAID
last night that he believed they would de-
eide to hold 1t over until after the vote
is taken to incorporate with Birmingham,
feeling confident that the annexation
proposition would be voted down and
then the town could be incorporated.
This plan may be followed out, but in
