A DenOuement at Sea
By ELIZABETH A. CURRAN

He paid NJ attention to Sonia's threat,
but persisted in annoying Katia.
One day while he was so doing he
was felled to the deck by a blow from
Sonia. When the mate got up several
of the sailors were laughing at him.
He attempted TO bring the open palm
of his hand against Sonia's ear; but,
leaving his W face %unguarded, he re-
ceived a knock under the jaw which
raised him off his feet and landed him
on the deck again.
a fight between a man and a woman
brought the crew together to see. The
mate arose and let drive at Conla. He
was now in earnest, and the fight was
more even. Sonia was at a disadyan-
tage from her skirts, but she had the
luck to knock her enemy against the
capstan, which stunned him, and he
was carried below unconscious. That
ended the mates attentions to Katia.
and from the time of the fight the two
women were inseparable.
But Sonia had nothing to do with any
of the women of the crew except
katia. She would not occupy a bunk
with the women, sleeping when she
did sleep at night IN deck. She was a
puzzle to the men, and her devotion
to Katia excited a good deal of curios-
lty. The captain, hearing of her quar-
rel with the mate, reprimanded him
and gave orders that the two Russian
women should thereafter be treated
with every consideration. He even
relieved katia of her part of the du-
ties of a m

MICE IN THE SEED CORN.
How to Fool the Little Fellows That
Do Serious Damage.

One of the requirements In the win
ter storage of seed corn Is 10 have II
stored beyond the reach of mice. The
best course 10 follow is to prepare for
them when the corn is put in storage.
If the corn is stored by hanging IL
up with string or Irvine II is n good
plan to stretch several lengths OF
strong fence wire in the storeroom
and suspend the strings Of corn from
these wires. Where IL Is stored on
corn trees the lower portion of the
upright should be completely wrapped
with tin for a few inches or a cir
cular piece Of tin fitted about this
lower portion.
Another good method of storage Is
TO make up several crates and line
them with window screen. They can
be made up i'm any size, preferably
about two feet by three feet, using
four inch fence board material In max
ing them. BY making the sides COM
paratively open II permits n good cir
culation of air through the crate, and
still the Innings will prevent any
damage from mice. Good seed corn
deserves ample protcction.-O. NJ. Oh

ment Station.

TIMELY HORSE IDEAS.

All roughages and no grain

them enjoy themselves.

part of the Arctic ocean lying
between Russia proper and
Siberia. About five miles from the
Russian coast at sunrise in the morn
ing the lookout in the fire top, a wom-
an (women on Scandinavian ships do
the same work before the mast as

speck ON the track of sunlight SHIN
mering on the waves. a black speck
on a river usually means nothing, but
at sea always excites attention. The
lookout seized a glass and brought 1t
to bear on the object, which under the
magnifying power of the glass was re-
solved into a BOAT with a person in it.
The lookout sent word to the captain,
who gave orders to put the vessel off a
point or two with a view to discover
ing if the lone boatman needed as
sistance.
AS the Sea Gull approached the boat
the figure in it was discovered to be
that of Il woman. She was lifted owe
the ships side in an exhausted condi-
ton. pale and emaciated. but when
they asked her questions she could re-
spond only in the Russian language,
which was unintelligible to the Scan
d~inavians. One of the crew was a
young Russian woman, Katia Jaroff,
who had shipped at a Siberian port a
few days before. Knowing a little
Scandinavian, she was brought for
ward as an interpreter. A close OBJ
server would have noticed a slight
woman from the boat when they first
saw each other, but they sufficiently
restrained themselves so that nothing
unusual was noticed. Katia question
ed the stranger and reported that she
claimed to have been aboard a Russian
vessel and. mourning the displeasure
Of the captain. had been marooned.
She asked where the Sea Gull was
bound and when told that she would
first stop at a Norwegian port asked
to be transported there. Since she
had no money she was required to
work her passage before the mast.
Naturally the two Russian women be-
came companions. The woman who had
been marooned. Sonia Sarderhoff. was
large and Don regained her strength,
which was considerable. Katia, on the
contrary. was delicate. and she SEEM
ed to have been pulled down by some
past hardship. Both m were in
t~ellectual looking. and their station was
evidently far above that of the balance
of the crew. Sonia from the time she
was able to stand watch offered to do
duty also for Katia. This she insisted
upon and most of the time did double
work relieving Katia.
The first mate. a Swede named Scan
derson. became enamored of Katia and
made love to her. Katia repealed him,
but he persisted. Sonia tool the girl
under her protection, which led to hard
words between the mate and Sonia, and
during the alteration Sonia told him
that II he did not cease annoying her
friend and eountrywoman she would
compel him to do so. This interested
the crew, who ridiculed Scanderson.

34f,277 AMERICANS DIVORCED

The most complete abstract ever pre-
pared of any federal decennial census
has been issued by E. Dana Durand,
director of the census. 1t contains a
mass of digested material relating to
almost every important economic. po-
litical and social question confronting
the people.
For the first time the census bureau
presents statistics of marital relations,
with comprehensive figures concerning
divorce. The number of divorced per-
sons in the United States when the cen
sus was taken in 1910 was 1J6.1T6 men
and 49, 01 women-3 per cent of the
total male population and 4 per cent
of the total female population. There
were 994 boys and 3.715 girls less than
fifteen years old who were divorced.
1t is explained that the number of
divorced persons reported falls short of
the total living persons who have been
divorced, as many divorced persons re-
married.
