"What?" asked Lady Maud sadly
and incredulously.
Tell him you'll take him back on

Mr.. Van Torp, who was in dead
earnest, had just given his best friend
this piece of sound practical advice
when the door opened, though he had
not rung. and the steward announced
that the second mate had message
for Mr.. Van Torp. He was admitted,
and he delivered it.
The owner sprang to his feet.

cried, as he rushed out of the deck sa-

Lady Maud leaned back and stared
at his empty chair, wondering what
was going to happen next.
This was what happened. The Ian
cashire Lass reversed her starboard
engine with full speed astern, put her
helm hard over to port, and turned
back towards the straits in the small.

less than a cables length from the
Scylla rock, and nearly running down
half a dozen fishing boats that pulled

While this was going on, Capt.
Brown himself, with the international
signal code in his hand, was calling
out letters of the alphabet to quar-
termaster, and before his ship had
made half a circle the flags ran up the
single stick the yacht carried.
My owner has urgent business with
your owner" was what the flags
meant in plain English.
The Erinna was going slow, for Ba-
raka was only just ready to come on
deck. haste being in her opinion, an
invention of Shaitan's. Logotheti,

sent for the sailing master but could
of course do nothing else without or
ders. So the Erinna continued to go
slow, All this took some minutes, for
the officer had naturally been obliged
to look up the signal in the code be-
fore answering that he understood it;
and in that time Van Torp's yacht had
completed her turn and was nearly
alongside. The Lancashire Lass
slowed down to the Erinna's speed
and the two captains aimed their meg.

their respective bridges for a little
pleasant conversation. Capt Brown

elbow, repeated what his signals had

Choir out in the middle of the harbor
10 wait while Capt. Brown got infor-
nation about the Erinna, If there were
any to be had at the harbor-master's
office. 1t would have been folly to
run out of the straits without at least
looking in to see if she were there, ly-
ing quietly moored behind the fortress
of San Salvatore and the very high
mole.
She was not there, and had not
been heard Of, but Paris Herald was
procured in which it was stated that
the Erinna had arrived in Naples,
owner and party on board
Well" said Mr.. Van Torp, lets
get to Naples, quick How long will it
take, captain?"
About eight hours, sir, counting
our getting under weigh and out of
this crowded water, which won't take
long, for the tide will soon turn"
GO ahead" said Mr.. Van Torp.
Capt. Brown prepared to get under
weigh again as quickly as possible.
The entrance to Messina harbor is
narrow. and it was natural that, as he
was in a hurry, huge Italian man-of-
war should enter the harbor at that
very moment, with the solemn and
safe deliberation which the move
ments of line-of-battle ships require
when going in and out of port. There
was nothing to be done but to wait
patiently till the fairway was clear.
1t was not more than quarter of an
hour. but Capt. Brown was in hur-
ry and as there was fresh morning
breeze blowing across the harbor he
could not even get his anchor up with
safety before he was ready to start.
The result of all these delays was
that at about nine o'clock he saw the
Erinna right ahead, bows on and only
half a mile away, just between Scylla
and Faro, where the whirlpool is still
a danger to sailing vessels and slow
steamers, and just as the tide was
turning against her and in his own
favor. He did not like to leave the
bridge, even for a moment, and sent
the second mate with an urgent mes
sage requesting Mr.. Van Torp to come
up as soon as he could.
Five minutes earlier the owner had

dark shadows under her eyes for the

soon as the steward left them alone
she spoke.

Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist,
knocked out Jas, j. Jeffries, the
white champion, in a 10 round battle
at Reno, Nevada, July 4th. Jeffries
and his force of trainers had been
confident until the end that the big
boiler maker would be able to whip
the negro, and at the time of the
opening of the arena the betting was
2 to on Jeffries. Not at any time
during the fight did johnson appear
to be in distress, but on the contrary
wore a wide grin and kidded with

his statement after the fight, he had
been out of the game too long to
come back.

Breakfast Cakes-Put one cupful of

teaspoonful each of soda and baking
powder, and one-fourth level tea
spoonful of salt; mix slightly, then
add one well beaten egg and one
tablespoonful of melted butter; beat
vigorously until smooth. If one
could have three parts of sour milk
and one part sour cream, the butter
may be omitted. II the butter is not
thick enough like thick cream, add
another tablespoonful of flour; if too
thick, thin with a little milk or water.
Rub the griddle with a bacon rind or

to retain the liquid state.
Gelatine should always be soaked
in cold water in a good place. Both
sugar and gelatine must be thorough

mold, and should be set on ice, or in
a very cold place to harden, allowing
about six hours, after adding the ber-

A large number of our people spent

Farmers who own orchards are
continually annoyed by people help
ing themselves to their fruit, without
even asking, much less paying for it.
Each person seems to think the few
apples he takes cannot amount to
much, but when the taking begins
early in the morning and continues
all day, it is a serious thing for the
owner Of the orchard. II is wrong to
take apples that do not belong to the
one taking them, and no one enjoys
having anything stolen. What effect
do parents think it will have on their
children to send them to get fruit out
Of another's orchard, while they sit
in buggy and wait for them. This
is being done every day and many
times day.
