grinding crash and then a lifting and
quivering which told the master that
the swell had lifted the vessel clear Of
the hidden reef.
"All hands on deck! Loose the top
sail!' These two commands hurtled
from the bridge in rapid succession,
while as the chief officer headed the
craft dead for shore the signal full
speed ahead sounded down in the en-
gine room. The sealer bounded for.
ward ten yards. Then crash and
then another. A sinister swell lifted
her high and then let her down. An
other one lifted her and dropped her
on the stony fangs below Still anoth-
er swell raised the vessel, and this
time she fell back on her starboard
beam.
There was little excitement, accord
ing to Captain Bartlett. The men just
chung to whatever was handy and
waited for orders. The launching Of
boats in that pastelike ice which
smothered the waters was out of the
question, and so the captain ordered
the sealers to take their pokers and
''prizes" and spear planks and make
a bridge. But bridge to where? The
darkness was suffocating, so to speak.
The men seemed shut in narrow vac
uum.
There came pause in the wind,

Bartlett amidships saw through the
gloom the outlines of a wreck, grim
and ghostllke, dead ahead, not fifty
yards away. He looked again and then
recognized the wreck Of the steamship
Vera, which gave up her life under
Black Head cliff two years before. So
Black Head cliff it was.
He knew it to be sheer promonto
ry, rising 800 feet above the surf,
which dashed it's base. But sheer as
that cliff was he knew that every man
on the Leopard had to make the base
Of it without delay, The bridge there
fore was pushed forward until, with
shout of JOY, it was discovered that
astern Of the Vera, between the hull
and the cliff, had formed hard, level
ice. From the bridge to this ice the
men of the sealer made their way.
Here they paused, hardly knowing
what to do. The cliff lowered over
them, and ahead were the ice clogged
surf and the reefs. They looked at the
Leopard. She had gone clear over on
her starboard side, with her foreyards
resting on shoal. The rocks worried
the starboard side out of her, and the
cargo tumbled and splashed into the
waters and was swallowed.
One of the men discovered a num-
Der of ropes depending from the top
Of the cliff to the base. A benefcent
government had placed them there in
view Of just such an accident. Haul

The Last Match Saved Them.

The ship had lain becalned in trop-
1cal sea for three days. Not a breath
of air stirred the mirrorlike surface Of
the sea or the limp sails that hung
from the yards like drapery carved In
stone. The captain resolved to wait
no longer. He piped up all hands on
deck and requested the passengers to
also come forward.
Il must ask all Of you," he sai1, Ito
give me every match that you have"
Wonderingly the passengers anc crow
obeyed. The captain carefully arr i1ged
the matches in his hands as each man
handed him his store until all had
been collected. Then he threw them
all overheard but one, drew a cigar
from his pocket and, striking the soli-
tary match on the mainmast, endeav-
ored to light it. In an instant furi-
GUS gale swept over the deck, extin-
guished the match and filled the sails,
and the good ship Mary Ann sped
through the waves on her COURSE

could find man after man worked up a
sheer height of 120 feet, whence the
remaining 100 feet of ascent were more
sloping. A slipping of the fingers on
the rope, the slightest weakness or
giddiness, meant instant death, but the
chance had to be taken. And they took
it in the darkness, with the hurricane
all about, and succeeded to man.
AS Captain Bartlett, the last man
from the ship and the last man from
the bottom of the cliff, seized the hand
ropes he turned toward his vessel a last
look. AS he did so a swell caught her
and, with cargo out tossed her high.
She landed on her beam and struggled
to right herself, like wounded animal
trying to rise. Another swell tossed
her, and down she went again on the
grinding rocks. When she rose again
she was frayed, spineless, shapeless
hulk. Down she crashed on the black
crags, and the waves ran in, bearing
bits Of matchwood-the dark shape Of
the Leopard had disappeared.
Ten minutes later thin line Of dark
figures were vending their way across
the hills to Broad Cove

The Gods Bill of Fare,

An interesting exhibit in the South
Kensington museum, London, illus
trates the omnivorous nature Of the
Gods diet. Among the fish falling a
prey to it's voracious maws we note
the young Of the herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an important item in
the Gods menu. The strangest part Of
the Gods diet perhaps is the sea mouse,
whose thick covering of bristles might
be thought to render it unwelcome to
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
Of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured. From

{ son 5 Dress Fabrics

The subject &C handkerchiefs Is an I'M
usually interesting one this season. Here,
us in every other accessory OF woman's
costuming, novelty presents itself In the
most fascinating guises.
1t Is the cocred handkerchief, strange
as 1t may seem, which claims first place;
and this too, with the smartest dressers.
The old prejudice against the handker-
CHER carrying even the slightest sugges-
ton of color Inns been entirely forgotten,
and By those, too, whose exclusive tastes
permitted In the old days the selection OF
only the neatcst hemstitched and most
unobstrusiye embroidered pure white at
fairs.
These new affairs nre absolutely ire
sistlble IN their dainty colorings and de-
signs. The linen Is Of the. finest, and the
designs the most artistic. The Japanese
tendency which dominates the costume
world IS traceable In many OF the best
designs.
The majority of these handkerchief now
cities have q narrow coored hem In pink,
blue, green or yellow, In the palcst tint.
Some show border effects in convention
izeI flower designs, the flower centers
bit of delicate hind embroidery executed
in fin ,st cotton or linen threads. Clusters
of tiny diamonds, polka-dots and squares
In one or two colors alternate inside OF
the colorcd hem, with embroidery dots
usually In white though sometimes in
color. Then there are the plaid handker-
chiefs, with ana without n plain-colorcd
hem. These nre more often In two tone
effects, ana show Il bit OF fine handwork
In n corner design In tho form Of tiny
dover spray In the place of the initial.
Initial handkcrchicfs, by the way, are
still good style, bnt they come only in
the plain whites. and not In novelty col.
orcl aifails.
Some very pretty patterns show the
colorcd prntngs in corner and border
design, embroidered over with tiny dots.
and naturally the more embroidery these
Lnndkerchiefs carry the higher they are
marked In price.
Another novelty shown among the most
exclusive pnttcrns has the laintiest finish
imaginable In the form Of II very narrow
luce edge. handmade lace, by the way.
These, of course, are more or less oxpen-
sive, but the clever and ingenious girl
may buy the plain handkerchiefs and set

results, both MS to effect and price.
