why She Wa. Not Afraid.

A certain young woman, who, says
writer In the New York Evening Post,
is fond Of being described as "spiritu-
elle,n and who "commutes" from New
Jersey in the capacity of stenographer
and typewriter extraordinary and plen-
ipotentiary TO coal firm, Is best known
in an adjoining suburban circle as a
''poetess." She jots her Inspirations
down In shorthand notes, translates
them on her typewriter, and submits
the effusion to the local palladium Of
village liberty and culture, which as
often as not finds place for them on

One morning there was a heavy fog
on the North River, and the ferryboat
was proceeding on its way gropingly,
with frequent stops and much whistl-
ing. Once out of the gloom whistle,
great big hoarse whistle, suggesting
an ocean liner, sounded close aboard.
There was a stir OF uneasiness among
the crowded passengers, and the poets
male companion looked up from his
newspaper with nervous frown-
Are you afraid?" he asked OF the

The Island OF Jersey Is one of the
oldest corners OF King Edwards realm.
Anchored within sight of France, orig
inally peopled by sturdy Normans, the
Jersey folk of to-day present a strange
racial mixture, forming little world
where French shrugs are to be seen
on English shoulders.
Within Jerseys limited area OF but
ten miles one way and six In another
may be found the most varied coastal
scenery, the richest foliage and rarest
flowers, the narrowest of picturesque
streets or lanes, the oldest OF farm
houses, the quaintest of fisher and farm
folk. the strangest Of fish In the st.
Heller market, and the largest cabbage
stalks In the United Klngdoml
Scores Of bays, no two alike, indent
the coast-some with pebbly beaches !;
others with white or red sand floors
some bounded by towering cliffs bearing
ancient castles on their SUBMITS; some
shelving gently from the uplands. White
lighthouses warn the sailor of the
ever-present danger from the sunken
rocks lying In wait for their prey. Fair
to look upon In calm sea. the coast
of Jersey Is yet one OF great peril to
the mariner.-Four-Tra News.

NEXT day or two would bring forth
when he heard the sound of visitor aD
preaching.
A gentleman Of free and easy manners
had run up the stairs to the door which
bore on 1t the name of Mr.. Charles
Baumgarten." Knocking with the silver
head CT his very elegant cane, he had
stood humming tune until the summons
was answered BY the boy, Joe. Master

ment; he had never seen two people %
much alike a. this gentleman and his
master.
Charley, ladr' Joe heard him say in
salutation.
The resemblance was certainly wonder
full. Height, figures, features, even the
voices were the same. Only In the ex-

their late father, the dean Of Denham, waa
as great as 1t was to one another.
Don't you know me, ChArleyf"
Intense surprise had struck Charles
dumb.
"Yea, I know you, Cyras, my brother ;
but l can't believe yet that it u really
you"
There's no mistaking the likeness,
laughed Cyras. Look at yourself in the
glass, and then look at me. Folks might
vow we were twins. You are silent with
surprise, Charley"
II am more than surprised; l am BE-
wildered. Sit down. How long have you
been In England?"
"A few weeks. But most Of It has
been spent In Paris, not In England. Eve

CHAPTER Xxx.

The trees at Great Wilton grew
bright with the tender green of Spring,
and the hedges were budding into leaf.
Gertrude Baumgarten was slowly walking
through one of the country lanes toward
Avon House, enjoying the freshness of
the morning. The sun shone, the skies
were blue and unclouded, the air felt
warm almost as that of a summers day,
and the birds sung with rapture that is
so celebrating on these days when all

Leaning over the small wicket which
was placed only a few yards from the
large iron gates at Avon House, stood
Lord Avon, looking at her as she ad-
vanced.
You are back at last, Gertrude?-
AT last?" she repeated. why? Have
you wanted me, Uncle Avon?'
Not at all. But l have been watch
ing for you for an age. What are you
carrying in that small parcel?"
Feminine matters in which you can
scarcely be interested" laughed Gertrude.
''I'ye been matching silks in the village
for my screen work, and il took me a
long time, for l wanted many shades

to the nature Of her request.
The letter you were reading at the
breakfast table, CHANGED to see the

She swept away majestically, leaving
Charles to make an ignominious exit from
The house. But Charles was not in hur-
ry1a do It. He wanted to explain, yet
with whom7 The subdean was so hot and
peppery, especially in the first blush OF
an affair, and that an explanation with
him generally did more harm than good.
Apart from that, what explanation had
Charles to give? None. None that would
be believed. As he stood thus thinking,
the room door was slowly pushed open
and Regina appeared

Very shortly Mary came stealing In.
She was looking pale, but in better health
than before she went to Brighton. Charles
stood before her in agitation.

final chart work incidental to the
survey Of Almirante Bay. OF the
coast OF Panama, is being made ready

Admiral Crowninshield, when chief
of the navigation bureau ten years

Almirante Bay as "a naval rendezvous

as he could In the absence of congress

sheet of water by using II for drill
purposes and projected considerable
training station TO be located there.
Even now the bay is used to some
extent by naval vessels as a coaling

machinery, the fine shelter afforded
makes II easy for warship to re-
plenish her coal from GOLFERS direct

Vinol is as delicious as a fresh
orange, and as soothing as can be
to the weak, irritable stomach. 1t
coaxes back lost appetite, improves
digestion and creates strength
throughout the whole system. We
strongly recommend Vinol to all
who are weak and rundown from
any cause, particularly to delicate
women and children, old people
and for those who have pulmonary
toubles. Money back if you try
Vinol and are not satisfied.
