 From his position crouching behind the screen he did not see the approach ing figure of Mir. Stonehouse, and was astonished when he saw his head rising above the edge of the tank as ne climbed the straight Jacobs ladder be- ! hind the wheelhouse. The elder man paused as he saw him and said in an epoiogetic way:

 Once again the bitterness of Haroid's heart broke out in sudden words:
 T hope notl There is no soul on board to whom could wish such evill" The old man said as he laid his hand softly on the others shoulder:
 'sGod help you. my poor boy, if such pain is in your heart! If you feel that obtrude on you earnestly ask you to forgive me; but think that the years between your age and mine as well as my feeling towards the great obliga- ton which I owe you will plead for excuse. There is something I would like to say to you. sir; but I suppose I must not without your permission. May have it?'
 If you wish. sir. I can at least hear it."
 T thank you. I assure you I am nervous about my self-imposed task and ask that you will hear me patiently: without comment or, objec-. ton till I have delivered myself of my task?" He was so manifestly disturbed that all Harolds natural kindness and courtesy rose to his aid:
 "Go on. sir. I shall listen patiently; and I shall try to understand. to sym pathize from your point of view, if l cannot from my own" The old man bowed and went on:
 'T could not but notice that you have some great grief bearing upon you; and from one thing or another, have come to the conclusion that you are leaving your native land because of it." Here Harold, wakened to amazement by the readiness with which his secret had been divined, said quickly. rather as an exclamation than interrogation:

 As he spoke he laid his right hand , on 'Haroid's breast, and his left on his sleeve. He was so moved and his hands so trembled that Harold could not but feel his heart melted. His head bowed and his shoulders shook with emotion. Once again he felt that inward thrill so poiEnantly painful like the agony of thawing flesh, or of coming back to life from the dark confine of death --which he had felt on the previous night. when the little child lay dream ing in his arms. The old man saw, and rejoiced. With more confidence than he had heretofore felt he went on: You are young and strong and brave! Your heart is noD.e. You can think quickly in moments of peril; therefore your brain Is sound and alert. Now, may ask you a favor? 1t Is not much.

MANY MOSQUITOES DUE
 TO MERE CARELE ESSNESS

Many citizens are remarking the prevalence of mosquitoes In downtown districts as well as in residence sections and officers of the Sanitary Depart fo ra reiessness of houesholders. Alt the mosquitoes in the midst of the city, they said yesterday, came out of faulty Rutters which did not properly dis- eharge the water from the roofs, or from vAagels in which water was all lowed to stand until 1t was stagnant
 As mosquitoes are developed within tyyenty-four hours from the time larvse are deposited in stagnant water the theory is easy to believe.
