Then there was a pause.
For an instant, az he faced the thing,
Barry's brain still strove toward san
lty; but that hnlfforgotten secret call
from out Of the old days at AnnGp-
olis-only he and his cousin and Fid'
dler knew that. And the coxswain had
seen!
Barry missed going overheard as he
dropped, flung into the stern.sheets by
The roll OF the cutter and the savage
tug of the four panic.stricken men at
the oars. But the coxswain caught him
and eased the fall, while the cutter,
travelling faster than she had been
rowed since she was built, made for
the Jungfrau.
From that night forward Lieutenant
Barry was a changed man on the
transport Jungfrau.

he, like all the others, failed to break

Barry shed about the occurrences Of

So the wardroom left him severely

reformation, for Barry was in dead

Americans are known as far as
they can be seen, and the famininc

iour English lady cousins say, and

American women are as minute ana
comprehensive as ever envious eyes
supplied to a jealous heart. This
antipathy of the two nationallties IS
not confined to visiting Americans
and resident English but is very gem
orally shared by the travellers Of both
nations. In all the hotels English
people hold aloof from Aemrlcaus
and in other ways show a disposition
to remain unfriendly. There are eX-

->HE Jungfrau was to sail at mid.
night, under orders for the
i Philippines, and the imminent
departure was being celebrated by
what the gruff old executive officer
called "wardroom wake" cere-
mony necessarily accompanied by
cracked ice and accessories, tons OF
tobacco smoke, larking officers with
visions OF long spell OF loading duty
ahead; the whole capped by public
shlpknowledge Of lading most elab'

plies packed within the transport s

big supply-ship, lived high when the
gods smiled,

1t was the executive officer himself
who spoke, with shade OF anxiety
that did not "jbe" with SO ordinary a
request.

"Finish farewelling-yes!" the exec

you'd chance wind-up by farewelling

attractive, but she's spiteful"
The executive officer frowned por-
tentously. "'Twon't be the first time
you've shaved it too close, and there
are limits, sir. Going the pace don't
pay, son-there's nothing in it,"
The Jungfrau's surgeon, dry old
Scot, seized the momentary silence
that ensued to remark: He's as much
like poor Fiddler as two green peas.
Never can resist running ashore al
the last moment-even in a mortal
pest-hole like that Malay harbor, as
Fiddler did last year"
The silence continued. The officers
Of the Jungfrau had all loved Fiddler,
"nobodys enemy but his own" that
old crowning anomaly of mankind, "a
good fellow" And now?

ROCK MACADAM
NOT WASTED

1t is found that practically all of
the rock macadam now in place on
Moscow streets can be used when
constructing a standard pavement, so
that little or no loss will be incurred
on the money originally expended in
constructing the macadam. For
time there was some talk that the
be excavated and removed, but this
is untrue Many of the standard hard
surface pavements require crown of
only four inches ON the streets 60 feet
in width, which means that only
slight portion of the rock will De cut
down from the center OF the macadam
and placed along the gutter, so as to
make the grade about level, there be-
ing a raise of only four inches from
the curb line to the center line of the
street, and only four inches of curb
above the surface of the
pavement at the curb line
The present rock macadam will
serve as an excellent base for perm
anent pavement, in fact, it is ideal, for
ii means a perfect foundation, one
that will withstand the wear of traf-
fic and insure a minimum of repairs,
being a barrier against disintegration
and reactionary effects from the sub
grade.
This fact should eliminate all tend-
ency on the part of property owners to
become impressed with the idea that
he money expended up to the present
line for macadam, will prove loss,
should standard pavement be laid. 1t

BOVILL, Idaho, May 10.-What
might have proved to be SER
ious accident occurred Saturday night
to William B. Pollock, a well-known
young man of Bovill. During the rain
storm he was escorting two young la
dies, who live in the east part of
town, to their home. AS they carried
no light of any kind it was difficult
to find the road Just at the south
east corner of the school house is
bridge, about five feet high over quite
q swift stream. Never dreaming that
he was so near the edge, the gallant
young man turned around to assist
the ladies up onto the bridge, when
he fell over backwards into the
stream. The screams of the frighten-
ed Young damsels brought man with
lantern to the rescue. Young Pol
lock had scrambled out by this time,
dripping wet, but smiling, with no SER
ious injuries. His hat fioated down the
st: cam and was picked up by a small
boy and returned to its owner.
