the baker, and the candlestick maker
in the old rhyme.
Indeed, divers have been known who
had such distaste for work that after
making a descent they would pick out
soft spot IN the river bed, or wher-
ever they happened to be, and lie down
fol nap. Alone under the water, they
were safe from the prying gaze Of any
employer. and could dispose Of their

If he wishes to sing or joke over his
work, the diver must be his own audi

helmet is fastened to his shoulders
until 1t Is taken off again, his loudest
shouting are inaudlble to his comrades.
If an accident occurs, he can only pull
at his life line, and then wait while his
rescuers are at work, unable to offer
the slightest suggestion.

In 1904 a diver lost his life at the

and is even more complete. The world
below him is only n miniature toy
world; all familiar sounds have died
away, and he Is in the midst of a great
silence. Round him are the uncon-
trollable forces of nature, and there Is
no hand to aid. He is at the absolute
mercy of wind and weather, and can
trust only to his lucky stars. What ever
precautions he may take in the con-
struction of his balloon, his parachute,
or airship, there are always thou
sand sources of unforeseen danger. Yet
the aeronaut goes about his task with
the greatest equanlmity imaginable,
denying that there is any danger, and
insisting that his profession Is the
greatest Of sports.-Montreal Star.

have got to say is that did not sell the
shawl, nor pocket the money"
"Mr. Drummond, the ladies have re.
turned said Nichols.
"Aha!" said his employer, with exul
tation. "Now we will be able to prove
your guilt, you young rascal! Here is
the lady who bought the shawl of you"
Mrs. Blake and her friend, Mrs. Spicei,
here entered the store. Mr.. Drummon6
went forward to meet them. His face
flushed, but he tried to look composed.
II am glad to see you back, ladies'" he
said. You told me that you bought your
shawl of boy?" turning to Mrs. Blake
Yes, SIR
"Come forward, Conrad" said Mr..
Drummond, malignant smile overspread-
ing his face. Perhaps you will deny

her the shawl she has on"

self.

Il did not buy the shawl of him"
Didn't you say you bought the shawl
of the boy?' asked Mr.. Drummond, with
sickly hue of disappointment over
spreading his face
YES; but it was not that boy. Come
to think of it, believe it was your son, :
| said Mrs. Blake. Isn't he little Older
than this boy?"
my son-Joshua - exclaimed Mr..
Drummond.
Eyes, l think 1t must be he. He's got
rather an old-looking face, with freckles
and reddish hair; isn't SO good-iooking as
this boy"

wildered. "He doesn't tend in the store. y

Blake. HE was the only one here"

turning to his head clerk.
Light dawned upon Nichols. He re

place, and he felt sure in his own mind
who was the guilty party.
Eyes, Mr.. Drummond," he answered
"about fortnight ago, as Walter was
rather late in getting back, Joshua Of

must have sold the shawl, but he must
have guessed at the price,"
"a mistake has been made" said MI
Drummond, hurriedly, to the ladies, "a
