ter or not it didn't matter. Lucy
loved him; otherwise she would not
rush across the ocean after him.
Hugh Cameron spent the rest ct
the journey in visualizing Lucy, but
now she belonged to him, not to some
unknown Teddy.
81 am a bally IDIOT" Hugh told
himself.
But the spirit of torment whis-
pered convincing assertions to him.
"She had no right to call any man
dearest-she is engaged to you"
"He might be her great uncle, :"
Hugh argued weakly.
"Girls don't dress up in pink tea
gowns because great uncles love them
in them" the imps chided and Hugh
again felt the cloud Of doubt.
"And no note should come before
yours" finished the voice in derision.
When Liverpool was reached
Hugh landed and spent every mo-
ment there in mad pursuit of diver
tisement. He wanted not to think
but only to pass the time in some
way until Lucy should speak to bin.
He made numerous trips to the
steamer Office and spent hours won
dering when the boat would dock.
Instead /. of the boat docking on
Tuesday, it was a full day late, hav-
ing been held up on account of fogs.

REED AND HIS TEACHER.

Ex-Speaker Reeds boyhood was
not particularly eventful. He was
tall and slender, and had not the
chubby face of his late years of pros
perity and power. He was indepen-
dent in his ways and decidedly out
spoken-a trait which he inherited
from his mother. He often got a
birching from his teacher, for, in
spite of being good student, he was
mischievous.
'1f any one knows of any reason
why these apples should not touch
the lips of Tom Reed, let him speak
now, or forever hold his peace" said
the young rascal one day, right un-
der the masters nose.
And he gave bite at one of the
great red checked apples in his
hand.
Quick as a flash out came the
birch and the teacher said:
eff anyone knows any reason why
the rod should not warm the jacket
of Tom Reed, let him speak now, OF
forever after hold his peace"
81 do" said Tom.
"Name it." replied the master.
"Incompatability."
He did not get the whipping.

PROPER GROWTH OF CALABASH
Plant ThrIves Better When Reared
In Hothouse Than Il viii In
the open Air.

The fruits are allowed to remain
on the vine, which is a relative Of
the gourds, till the outer parts are
quite hard, for if gathered before
they are fully ripe difficulty is expe-
rienced in seasoning. On the other
hand, they must not be allowed to
remain long enough to be subjected
to frost, for severe frost is likely
to cause injury. Dry, sunny weather
is more favorable to the development
of fruit than wet weather. for
though the plants will take plenty of
water, more satisfactory results are
obtained from watering by hand
than from the plants being subjected
to an excessive amount of rain. The
past summer, with its long-contin-
ued heat, has been ideal for the sue
cessful cultivation of these gourds
in England, providing they were
well watered at frequent intervals.
Seeds sown here on a slight hotbed
and the plants allowed to grow till
they have filled a frame which could
be lifted Off about mid-June, would
probably give the most satisfactory
results. If grown throughout the
whole of their career in a frame or
greenhouse, however, arrangements
ought to be made for a free circula-
tion of air at all times. Apart
from the utility of the fruits Of this
plant, it is quite ornamental enough
to receive attention from a decora-
tive standpoint, either indoors or
out-Montreal Standard.

DANISH CURE FOR LAzlNEss
Men oVerfond Of Rest Are Given So
Much Of It That It Becomes
Monotonous.

The Danish government under tho
direction of Professor Kellers, psy-
chologist, is making an experiment
in out-of-door treatment of its mem
tai detectives on Tyloe island. Both
lunatics and loafers came under the
head Of detectives" in Denmark.
Professor Kellers has for some time
been a persistent advocate of the out
of-door treatment of lunacy. His
chief contention is that the fresh air
tones up the nervous system. while
the varied natural objects are calcu-
lated to arrest the attention of the
patients and dissipate the more dis
tressing symptoms of monomania.
The method of "cure" Of con-
firmed laziness in Denmark is some
what Spartan. Either the men must
settle down to regular habits OF
work, chiefly of a rural character. or
the "rest cure" is pushed home to
its logical result-they are forced to
lie in bed for a term varying from
day to three or four days. BY that
time the ennui becomes simply un-
bearable and the men are glad to
escape from the torture of sheer in
activity.

Teddy and
the Girl
DOROTHY BLAcKMoRE


Hugh Cameron glanced eagerly
through his mail. Yes, there was
the expected letter from his fancee,
90 the day promised to be good one.
He tore open the envelope and
read to the end of the closely writ
ten page, his face setting into grim
lines as he scanned the words.
dearest Teddy: How perfectly
darling of you to send me this beau
tiful breakfast gown and cap to
match. I am afraid l have rather
neglected you lately on account of
some one here, but when | come out
this spring l will tell you all about
it. l am going to wear my pretty
gown and cap until we have our
first breakfast together in the studio
because / know you will love me in
it while the lacss are soft and new.
Isn't that nice os me? This is just
a scratch, dear, AZ | have so many
Christmas notes to write-but yours
was first. can hardly wait until
we meet again, but it won't be long
now.
with bushels Of love,
"As ever, LUCY"
The letter dropped from Hugh
Cameron's nerveless fingers.
Sol The Lucy that he adored
was nothing but flirt and had been
playing with him to her hearts con-
tent. Well, she would not get chance
to throw him over for the man in the
studio whom she SO violently loved.
Hugh laughed unpleasantly.
"It was rather thoughtful of
Lucy to mix her letters. Otherwise
/ might have had lovely turn-down
when she tired of me as an escort to
operas, dinners, etc. hope the de-
voted Teddy will appreciate her let
te1 to me and her thanks for the
bracelet ! sent"
Cameron tore the letter viciously
in bali, then stayed his fingers.
Lucy should have her letter back
but not until be was well out to sea.
Hugh started upl A quick boat
sailed at nine o'clock the next morn
ing and by using the telephone freely
be could put his business affairs in
proper shape for that sailing.
Cameron told his Office boy thai
under no condition was he to answer
any feminine voice over the tele.
phone. Lucy might call him up. and
Hugh felt his resolve fade. as il
memory be heard her low pitched
voice ringing in his ear No; h'
must neither hear her voice nol
communicate with her in any way
before he sailed.
During his hasty preparation Cam
eron had time to realize his loss
Even with her duplicity staring hin
in the face he knew that he loveC
her and would continue to want hel
until the end of his days.
When the great ship that was e
take him to England weighed anchor
Hugh felt that he had indeed sen
himself adrift from the one woman
he desired. With the pilot he post
ed brief line to Lucy and enclosed
