is RUDE TO GABRIEL

spond. BY that time he had glanced
over the second-class passenger list
and had picked out FOR his own a
large unoccupied stateroom
Gabriel was one of the first at table
for the first meal of the voyage, and
kept up the record for several days.
He was a cheerful soul, and in his
search for congenial spirits acquired
considerable popularity in the sec
ond cabin
For the first few days of the trip
the purser was visibly worried Time
and again he wandered about the ship,
counting noses. One by one he call.
ed the second-class passengers into a
private conference and quizzed them.
The last to be cross-examined was
Gabriel. Every one else had been able
to point out their particular name on
the purser's list and show in other
ways that their passage had been hon.
orably contracted for.
You are rude, sir" snapped Gabriel
when the purser suggested that he
might have neglected to purchase his
passage. You are ridiculous, too,
and / must refuse to discuss this af
fair with you"
Without delay the purser proceeded
| to live up to the character given him
by Gabriel. He moved the young gen,
tjeman from his comfortable state
room to the lazaret, which is the
ships prison. And then-but mol
1t is too, horrible; it is monstrousu
the act OF a fiend-this rude, ridicu
lous purser dug UP from the hold an
other who had started without tbs
equivalent of a stowaway de luxe
This person was Lueien Guiliermet
Swiss, who had worked with hii
hands. He was dirty from his days
Of intimate contact with the cargo
in the bowels of the ship, and not al
all debonair. And into the lazarel
they put Lucien Guilliermet!
Gabriel sent an indignant message
to the captain. saying that he was un
used to occupying the same sleeping
quarters with another. particularly
one such as his present roommate
But the pig of purser intercepted
the note.
They turned both Gabriel and this
Swiss. who confessed he wanted t.
work with his hands in the new world
SO badly that he had stolen a perfect
ly good passage from La Campaigns
Trans-Atlantique over to the Ellis 10
land authorities.
And the mockery Of it is that they
viii probably let the horny-handed
plodding Swiss have his way, while
the most desirable Gabriel will return
whence he e1me.

an enthusiasm of kindness filed the
house. Thus two strangers, at tws-

solitary wedding, in order that on
the morrow, he going to the war, she
might have right to wear his\name.
They were stopped. caught out OF

home, surrounded with loving hearts,
all delicately offering service and ma.

a wedding that. for glow and joy and
gladness. few even of those most fav-

young husband and wife were leaving,
all gathered about the dooryard gate
and sang a parting hymn.
