There is vast differencebetween
house and a home. The house
is but building and furniture, the
outward shelter and gathering
place of the household. The home
indicates the kindly family affec-
ton, thoughtful care, ready SYM
pathy, mutual confidence and trust
OF the members. A true home
breathes the atmosphere of love.
A child should be made to feel
that his home is indeed a home,
the happiest place in the world;
not merely an outward shelter and
resting place, but center of en-
joyment. sancti6ed and purified by
love. the thought and remem-
brance of which should be the
safeguard of his life as he goes
forth to the world, giving strength
and proportion to his character.
The great event in every young
mans life is his awakening There
comes a time when he's aroused
from the dreamy carelessness of
boyhood by the opening possibili-
ties of lite. If he then drops into
indifference and begins life in an
easy, shiftless way, he fritters away
his chances. If he comes to a
deep, earnest purpose to be his
best and do his best, he arrives
early at the highest rank among
equals in business, profession or
trade. Enthusiasm leads him to
attempt the seemingly impossible.
Energy will achieve the marvel
Gus. Effort will seize transcend
ent leadership in the chosen
sphere. These forces in youth
look forward, while age looks back
ward. They make youth radically
venturesome, while age becomes
conservatively cautious. Youth
may make mistakes, but is doing
something. Age less active, may
be less mistaken 1t is we'll for
enthusiasm and energy to be
guided by experience but not to
be paralyzed by fear.
Could He who promised our
burdens should be light il we
trusted in Him, and in the match

serving" the relays of china and
silver, and the ceremonious attend

of commentator for the cheerless,
worrying Marthas, who bake and
brew, and fry and stew, and wear
themselves out with self imposed
catering for morbid appetitesa
When economy becomes the
chief end and aim Of existence,
sort of domestic god, before which
all must bow down, the happiness
of the home is likely TO be sacri-
feed. Every expenditure that
would give pleasure is held IN
abeyance until such time as the
family feel that they "can afford
it," and as rule, this time never
comes, and the pleasure is relin-
quished.

She could not lose a moment while

must be alive with 1t. There would
be time to sleep when 1t was ex-

leagues between her and pursuit by
holding the direct course as long as
was possible.
And so she sat there grimly, hands
clutching the wheel through the long
day and through the longer night and

must have been half past ten on the
morning Of the second day before the
motor stopped. The silence, after the
ceaseless drumming of night, long
day, longer night and still longer
morning, struck her with the same
strange sense Of shock. She calculated
that the motor had been running for
SS hours and that she had gone $50

CHAPTER VIII.
Cast Tn bv the Sea,

OdSt Up ny TIC SCds
Day was Just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that 1t was
four o'clock In the morning. She had
slept unbrokenly since ii o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been a
stupor of utter and complete exhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physi-
cal strain of keeping awake and at
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension Of pursuit which had
been continually with her. Her first
motion. indeed. was to rise to her feet
and scan the horizon. With relief in
describAble her scrutiny discovered
nothing. She was still alone. Neither
the yacht nor any other vessel nor
any smallest speck Of land was sill
houetted against the circling sky line.
She sat in the boat musing long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store Of food
and drink, and then putting the past
resolutely behind her, hoping and per-
haps fancying by some exercise of her
will power finally she could put it be-
hand her forever, she gave serious
thought to her condition.
She realized at last that she in
the hands-another would have said
of God! she said of chance. The fact
that she was SO helpless; that all her
learning and all her training, and
all her skill and all her power were
of no avail, made the situation the
more CALLING. Was there nothing
that she could do? She reflected
deeply and as she did so the
breeze sprang up. She judged that
the period during which she had slept
had been calm and still. Any violent
rocking of the boat would have awak'
ened her. Indeed, she felt bitterly
cramped and stiff from having lain sc

from the direction whence she had
come by her compass course. If she
only had sail of some kind the boa
would be driven along. She mus

doubted whether the boat was moving

hours. That boat was alone In the
great expanse Of the Pacific ocean.
Somewhere about there were islands
probably. Indeed, on the charts those
seas were dotted with points Of land,
but they were small, uncomfortable,
uninhabited, unknown. In that little
boat she might pass close BY many
of them without seeing them. She had
provisions, such as they were. and

came, the launch probably would not
survive it. Her chances Of escape, in
any event, were worse than problem
atical. The end was almost certain.
But she was happy. The first real
ray of happiness which had entered
her soul since the beginning of the
great awakening, which had culmin-
ated in the frightful scene of the
night, illumined her being. AS she sat
in the stern sheets, her hand on the
steering wheel, listening to the steady
drumming of the motor, seeing the
black water broken into foam by the
boats bows flash by her, keeping the
launch steady on her course by the
aid of the compass needle. her eyes
turned ever and anon to the fast d.
minishing point of light which marked
the rapidly disappearing yacht, and
she realized that she was free. She
had hurled out of her path-and how
she exulted in her own prowess; 1t
was something Of salve to her soul

so far as wind and wave allowed, the
master of her fate, the mistress of her
destiny.
She was glad in her heart, too, that
there were to be no physical conse-
quences from her brief alliance. She
did not realize that there we're to be

foated could wash out There was q

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN MACHINE SHOP
William Gilmore, a MachinSt, Dies After Being Badly
Injured Building Completely Wrecked

at the end leaned over it to look in
to a small hole at the top; not be-
ing able to see into the tank he
struck a match which ignited the
gas and the explosion followed,
tearing out the end of the tank
and carrying Mr.. Gilmore like a
shot out of a gun against the oppo-
site wall of the building. The end
of the tank was driven with such
force that it cut a large timber on
the opposite wall Of the building
completely in two. The walls of
the building were warped out and
the windows shattered. Mr.. Gill
more was thrown in a far corner
of the building and a large guam
tity of hard wood timber over head
came down onto him. and from
this he probably sustained some
of his injuries. Following the ex-
plosion the room filled with smoke
and it was with difficulty that the
injured man was found buried
underneath the timber, although
his cries could be plainly heard.
Mr.. Cram, the timer employed at
Lovell's store, was standing in the
shop at the time Of the explosion
within foot of the unfortunate
man but escaped uninjured as he
stood at the side of the tank. 1t
all happened so quickly and the
room filled with smoke so rapidly
that Mr.. Cram could not tell what
