"My dear, please don't teach her to be like
boy. / want her to be ladylike and NICE"
Lieutenant Joy looked at his daughter again
in surprise. :,
Il want her to be ladylike and nice, too"
he said. Learning navigation need not in

we will lay it aside at once. Which shall it be,
Evelyn, navigation OF French verbs"
Navigation, by all means, papa; Naviga-
ton and seamanship now, while they are in
my way. And then when we get back to New
York, after our winter at Nassau, I'll wrestle
with those French verbs again"
Mrs. Joy sighed gently; That was the way
her protests generally ended.
So the lessons in navigation went on. There
were problems in trigonometry that made Eve
lyn work harder than she had ever worked at
French verbs under Madame La Blois; But
if there came any temptation to finch, she
said to herself:
Remember, young woman, your father said
wide-awake boy IN your place would learn
all about this You've always held that a girl
was as bright as boy. Now prove it,
So Evelyn tugged at mathematics (which
she did not always enjoy evenings, and learn
ed seamanshp (which she enjoyed immensely
daytimes; and when the yacht had been two
weeks on its way she had really made consid-
cradle progress in both sciences.
1t was when the yacht-a beautiful schooner
called the Viking-had made half the run
down to the Bahamas, where they were to
spend the winter, that Captain Hodge came
Aft one morning, with slightly troubled look
on his usually imperturbable face.
"There are two men sick, forward" he re-
ported to Lieutenant Joy.
That gentleman, who was a retired naval
officer and accustomed to the exigencies of sea
life, went forward to, investigate.
"frhey appear to have very much the same
symptoms he remarked on his return.
The two men looked at each other for a
minute, and neither spoke.
Each detected the others fear and thought
he had concealed his own. Captain Hodge
was the first to speak.
"Might give 'em little medicine, I sup
pose," he suggested, carelessly. They'll be
all right tomorrow, probably,
So Lieutenant Joy opened the medicine
chest. which is part of every well-appointed
vessel, and detailed man to act as nurse.
The next day the sick men were no better,
and the man who had acted as nurse was
helpless with fever.
OTIS all CANNON with him." said the cap
tain. Indignantly, to the owner of the yacht.
"Ues heard those other two fellows say their
heads ache. till he thinks his does"

Il don't call navigation dreadful

up from the cabin table, where charts and
sextant were lying.
Il call it dreadful thing for girl to
learn. If she were a boy, it might be diff.
ferent; but what can girl ever want OF
navigation? And the captain teaches her

this morning that she could Evelyn, what

the lieutenant, answering the smile. But

more or less disapproval; and she said, 'Thees

Mees Evelyn; and she didn't stay long after
that. She's right about the verbs, though
really wrcstled faithfully with them" the girl
added, humbly.
"You see it's time Evelyn was finishing her

now that the subject was started, determined
TO olinch the matter, She's quite old enough

Lieutenant Joy looked at his daughter as

"How old are you, Eelynp

Her father looked serious. Then he closed
the big book on navigation.
"Well. my dear, Wen put away the charts

are going to suffer some shortly. In
the turn of affairs it so happens that
once in 40 years we will have to move,
and not being able to secure our perma-
nent location until January 1st, 1908,
we will be compelled to secure item
porary" quarters elsewhere until that
time. We are truly grateful to the
public for all past favors, and we
earnestly ask continuance of them,
which will be appreciated now more
than ever. We expect soon to give
notice of our temporary quarters in
these columns. Respt.
