WAYS TO ARRANGE FLOWERS.
Good Idea Is to Follow Nature as
Closely as Possible.

1t is well to remember that all
flowers look better for loosening up
trifle and few look well packed tightly
together. One of the safe rules to fol-
low is to heed the natural growth OF
the flower whenever possible. Flowers
that grow in thick clusters are GER
tain to look well in masses, while
those that grow singly and far apart
should not be crowded. The object
should always be to bring out the
whole beauty of the flowers and to let
everything else be secondary to that
Chrysanthemums and sweet peas
are examples of the few flowers that
do not need foliage as a relief. Nearly
all others look far better amid green
leaves. A trailing green vine Is often
lust the touch that is needed to soften
a stiff arrangement. Asparagus fern
is an airy, feathery green, suitable
only for fragile and delicate flowers In
loose arrangement. Wood sorrel has
delicate leaves that look we'll with
sweet peas and other small flowers,
but as a rule a flowers own foliage
suits it best.
The vases used play an important
part in the success of flower arrange
ment. Colorless, transparent vases
are always safe and sometimes abso-
lutely necessary. Bowls are beautiful
for short-stemmed flowers, and the
cheaper variety are sometimes the
best. An ordinary glass fish globe dis
plays the full beauty of the stems 10
far greater advantage than cut-glass
rose howl. The colorless glass olive
bottle. going straight up and down, Is
more to be desired than Opaque
vases, which hide decorative stems
Tall slender vases are suitable for
long-stemmed flowers. 1t is said that
the height of long-stemmed flowers
should be IL times the height OF the
vase. -
Yellow flowers in a dark blue jar
are effective, and brilliant red flowers
look well in the neutral gray Jars vi
some of the Japanese ware. The pur-
nile violet finds its richness intensiheo
in a pale yellow jar. Pansies ana
violets both look their best in heavy
far. preferably of cylindrical shape.
1t is we'll not to mix flowers OF dii'
ferent kinds and different colors. A
cluster of blossoms all presenting the
same hue is usually the most ell
fectiye arrangement. Some flowers
such as a chrysanthemum or rose
when long-stemmed and handsome
are set of to advantage when SIN
ole flower alone occupies the vase.

their position. Indeed, they had bare
ly escaped ripping mast out of the
lugger. They were rocking their boat
furiously and making every effort to
get off, but they had gone on fair and
square, the tide was on ebb, and
Ellen concluded they were fixed for
some time.
She rose in the stern sheets and
laughed gleefully. She put her boat
about and ran down to pass in easy
hail of Sir Charles and his men.
"Good-by," she called, laughing
with mockery that stung him, before
an hour we shall be aboard yon ship.
/ am sorry that you were baked A stern
chase is long chase, Sir Charles, as
you will find upon the sea-"
Poor Sir Charles had little to say for
himself. He felt very much cha
grined and bitterly disappointed.
"Gooy-by, Sir Charles" called Debo-
rah, sadly. "Tis not my doing,
and"
Mistress Deborah" answered Sill
Charles, plucking up heart, you have
not seen the end of me. / shall find
some means of following you wherever

up. You did your best to betray me,
but forgive you since we've got free.

you and he'll find you all the sweet.

And Ellen laid course which would
in half an hour intercept the oncominS
merchantmen.

MAN WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Elaborate Precautions to Forestall the
Festive Germ.

A man whose poor hearing obliges
him to use a speaking tube met an
other man who certainly deserves to
be set down as the champion foe to
germs. The meeting took place in the
street. The deaf man signified his de-
sire for conversation on a certain sub
ject The enemy to germs listened to
the question put to him, then surveyed
his end of the speaking tube dubious
ly. Before attempting to answer he
took the deaf man by the arm and
piloted him into q drug store, where
he called for a liquid disinfectant In
which he proceeded to immense a por-
ton of the tube.

phones to spread disease" he com
planned. Il don't know who talked
into this last. I'm not going to take
any chances"
The owner of the first aid to hear
ing looked on in CONSERVATION that
was half anger, but as he was very
anxious to secure an answer to his
question he did not protest against
the sterilization of the tube.

given no thought to what was before

"Who is it them" asked Ellen who

to what were best to be done.

olution.

She swung the tiller over, hauled
aft the sheet and in a moment the
boat was running toward the island.

CHAPTER XIII,

An Impromptu Affair on the High Seas.
1t was hardly possible at first, even
for so practiced and acute an eye as
Carrington's, to determine whether he
or Strathgate had the better boat. In
the first place, the two cutters were
continually on opposite courses, split
ting tacks, the wind blowing straight
into the harbor, and it was not until
they had passed and repassed each
other several times that Darlington
became convinced that he was gain
ing on his antagonist. The gain, how
ever, was a slight one. The differ
ence in the rate of sailing between
the two boats was not very great.
Both of them sailed faster than the
Flying Star in the air then prevail
ing. When the big ship got out into
the channel she would probably run
away from the two fishing boats with
out difficulty The wind being as it
was necessitated a hard beat out, and
again this gave the smaller vessels an
advantage, for they could hold on
where the great ship was compelled
to tack for fear of shoal water. And
with every tack they gained distance.
Darlington studied the sea intently
and concluded that If the wind did not
shift and it did not come to blow hard
err than it was, there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game, however, in
the time at his disposal was a ques-
ton. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold on. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation of the
helm with some misgiving at first,
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration, for never was a small
boat better handled than by the young
naval officer. If Darlington had been
sailing the cutter in a race for stake
of 10000, he could not have watched
her more carefully or handled her
more skillfully. He made everything
tell.
That worthy fisherman, Cooper, who
was sailing Strathgate's boat, albeit
he did very well, was mere tyro COM
pared to Darlington. Indeed, Caring
ton felt as If he were sailing his boat
for love, honor, happiness, revenge, all
the passions that can engross heart
and move a soul. Strathgate was no
sailor, but after an hours rapid sailing
even he could see that eventually Car
rington would overhaul him. He
spoke of this to Cooper, wringing a
reluctant admission of the truth of
his conclusions from the sailor, but
the latter promised to put him along
side the merchant ship at least be-
fore Darlington ran him down.

the saucer in it, and giving slight

In those days long shoal, Of which
Ellen knew nothing, jutted out into
the roads. She did not throw her boat
deliberately on the shore, but ran
along it looking for some suitable
place to land. Seton's lugger, of
course, followed her motions. They
were both under the lee of the island,
which broke the force of the breeze
somewhat, but Ellen's vessel, being
the smaller, got the worst of it and
felt the wind less. Seton's boat was
rapidly overhauling the other. In five
minutes it would be alongside. Ellen
swung the helm over and desperately
headed straight for the shore.

Slocum, Puritan miss. and LORD car
rington Of England, but in their lie AFTER
settling in England. The scene is placed,
lust following the revolution, in Caring
ton castle in England. The Carrlngtons,
after a house party, engaged in family
tilt, caused by jealousy. Lady caring
ton agreed to cut cards with Lord Strath-
gate, whose attentions to Ellen had be-
come a sore point with Darlington. The
loss of $780, 900 failed to perturb her, ana
her husband then cut for his wifes L; u.
u. and his honor, Darlington winning.
Additional attentions of Lord Darlington
to Lady Cecily and Lord Strathgate TO
Lady Darlington compelled the latter
to vow that she would leave the castle;
Preparing to flee, Lady Darlington ana
her chum Deborah, an American girl,
met Lord Strathgate at two a. mr. ne
agreeing to see, them safely away. he ne
attempted to take her to his castle, but
she left him stunned in the road when
the carriage met with an accident. She
and Debbie then struck out for Ports
mouth, where she intended to sail for
America. Hearing news of Ellen's flight,
Lords Darlington and Seton set out In
pursuit Seton rented a fast vessel and
started in pursuit. Strathgate, bleeding
from fall, dashed on to Portsmouth, for
which Darlington, Ellen and Seton were
also headed by different routes. Strath-
gate arrived in Portsmouth in advance
of the others, finding that Ellen's ship
had sailed before her. Strathgate and
Darlington each hired a small yacht to
pursue the wrong vessel upon which
each supposed Ellen had sailed.
