The Castle girl was certainly very
nice to John. when you take into con-

fellow he was and how unkindly ma
ture had dealt with him touching his

the next forenoon, and in the after
noon, when he asked her If she would
like to 60 out rowing with him, she
said she would be just delighted to do
50. John had never rowed a boat, but
Of course that didn't matter.
John braced an a against the pier
and pushed off. The impetus sent the
boat perhaps fifteen faet out. Then.
with an air of determination, he grasp
ed the oars. He let one of them fall
lightly into the water and pulled very
hard. The result was that he lifted the
oar just above the girls ear and turned
half a pint of water down the back Of
her neck. She smiled, but hf, smile
seemed to lack spontaneity. he took
a fling at the other oar and deposited
anotha half pint In her lap. These
little Irregularities made him nervous
and embarrassed, SO that at the next
stroke he missed the water altogether.

wife. I'VE will coax John
to go with us. There are
always a great many nice girls there.
and who knows what may happen?"
John is my wife's brother. He is a
quiet, retiring young man and very
bashful. He does not are for girls.
At least he says he doesn't.
My wife and her mother thought
John ought to marry because he was
thirty and received a salary Of $1,000
a year. They threw hints at him for
year or two, and then they came out
into the open and argued with him.
But John said he was very comforta-

over the matter. l think she feared
John would end, al young men who
keep aloof from young ladies, and con-
sequently don't understand the game,

tirely impossible person. Probably she
set the Henslow Beach plot in motion

who knew John and looked at the sit
uation in anything approaching an un-
biased way could imagine that he
would be in any danger at Henslow.

how he had become acquainted with

Trade Prospects For 1905.


A sign of the healthy conditions of
trade in this country is found in the
increase Of values in the expectations
Of manufactures last year. An increase
Of approximately $4,000, 600 in this
class Of exports is reported. The in
crease was felt in nearly all Of the
important items Of this commerce not
ably cars and carriages, agricultural
implements, copper, structural iron
and steel, locomotives, pipes and at-
tings, boots and shoes and lumber.
Trade conditions of the world do not
threaten a decline Of the demand for
any Of these articles. We may not
export the same values this year, but
a considerable decline might take place
and yet not seriously affect our indus
tries. A real stagnation Of industry
and commerce is generally a matter of
slow growth. When a market is vast
ly overstocked a slump may be ex-
pected, but the articles enumerated in
the list Of expectations in 1907 which
show an increase are, with few excep-
lions, Of the kind which would not be
shipped on speculation. The only ma
terial decline In the exports Of manu-
features was in cotton cloths. and this
falling off vas due to unusually heavy
expectations to China in 1905.
