50 Neptune didn't really come until Mon
day morning. We kept receiving signals
from him-burning barrels floating down
the fteet-and on Sunday evening we re-
ceived a visit from his secretary. who an
that on the next morning, at .
O'CLOCK, lie would be on board to welcome
US 10 his domain and to initiate into tho
mysteries of the sea nll those who had
never before paid ,ribuc to him.
SO Monday. at . o'clock sharp, the
crew was called to quarters, and with the
hapd Neptune and his party marched aft
TO the quarterback. where they were re-
cclNed by the admiral. captain, Officers
and crew. Leading the procession were

Neptune, Amphitrite and the heir APP
parent then stepped out TO the front and
saluted the admiral and captain. and Nep-
tune said he was glad TO welcome them
to his domain again. recalling the first
time he had met them In each case, nam
ing the date and ship when they first
crossed. The admiral said he thought the
Neptune he met the FIRST time must have
been this ones grandfather, bus Neptune
said he was the one himself. Then Ncp-
tune delivered IN Grafton to The party
and an address to he captain.
Tho captain welcomed him and told him
10 take charge of the 'roolis,' and the ad-
miral gave them a box of cigars. Where
upon Neptune directed the captain to have
the smoking lamp Lighted. Neptune's nav
igator then directed the captain 10 keep

season has also contributed to the bet
ter feeling by accelerating the distrt-
button of spring goods and stimulat-
ing interest in building operations. In
dustrial plants are more active. pig iron
production rising to the best weekly
average in three months. Credits are
still closely scanned, and mercantile
tory, vet payments are more prompt.

distinctly heavier. There was sus-
