II Richard Taguc of South Amboy,
N. j., had followed the advice OF the
popular song and told his troubles to
the p'leceman, he might not nave
known SO much In the long run. but
he would have been sight happier.
There had been slight domestic
fracas because Tague had shown an
unreasonable jealousy. according to
his wife, and SO he was a'walking the

his wife.
AT this psychological moment sail

subsequent maneuvering they became
chummy. Tague told his tale OF woe

school. one who had followed the sea
long before the days Of 'tin'kettle
sailors" In his wauderings he had
touched many ports met many strange
peoples, and wealth OF mysterious
knowledge was hidden beneath his
wind-worn cap. He whispered in
Tague's starboard ear; Tague SHOOK
his head approvingly, and the twain
sheered on
