The Story Of "Mrs.

We were between the Azores and
Madeira. bound for a port in the West
Indies. In the American ship Ben Joyce
when a curious thing happened one
morning about an hour before day.
light I was digging my eyes and
fighting away sleep when curious
sound from over the bows caught my
ear. AS / listened TO the noise the
only thing / could compare 1t to was
the noses of sharks humping up
against a small boat 1t would have
been ridiculous to call to the mate and
give him any such wild explanation.
but finally called his attention TO the
curious noises and left the cause to his
own perception.
There's a raft or boat out there"
he said after a moment, ''and the noise
may be made by oars. I'll burn a port
fire."
The port fire lighted up the sea for
a hundred feet around. and the first
thing we saw was ships boat within
forty feet of us on the port bow. In
the bottom of the boat were two hui
man figures, and one Of them was a
woman, and all around the boat the
sea was alive with sharks. AS soon as
we caught sight of the boat the mate
ran to call the captain. By the time
the captain arrived the boat had drift
ed right down against US, and one OF
the crew lowered himself into her and
made fast the painter. Then | got
down to assist him. and we passed up
the bodies-the man first We might
lust as we'll have dropped him into the
sea. for he had been dead for twenty
four hours at least. He was recognlz'
ed by all as a sailor. As we picked up
the woman, having not a doubt that
she was dead also. she moved and Ut
tered a groan. We had her on board
after a couple OF minutes, and the
small boat, which was captains gig'
new and without name, was later
hoisted up.
The woman awoke to find herself
aboard of strange ship. with strange
men around her. She was handsome

and speech and about thirty years OF
age. Her apparel was fine, and cosby,
but she wore no jewelry and had
neither purse nor a cardcase. When
asked how she came to be at sea In

had visited Madeira or the Azores, II
she lived in England, she could tell
nothing. She began a new life when

That's the way we figured 1t out,
and 1t looked reasonable enough, ana,
of course, the right thing to do was
to leave the woman at Trinidad and
report the case as widely as possible.
QueerIy enough, she fought and banned
this plan. Our captain was good
looking man, and. feeling that she
owed him her life and doubtless being
rather romantic by nature, what did
she do but fall in love with him! That
is only half the story. He fell head

ton was most embarrassing for him.
however. All of us agreed that the
woman was or had been a wife,

able man should. and yet he could not
help loving her. When we reached
Trinidad he notified the English con-

The story of our picking up the liv-
ing and the dead was published far
and wide. The publication Of that
story all over the world did not solve
the mystery. No husband came for
ward; no relatives wrote.
When three years had elapsed and
still no news had come the two were
married. The woman had not recovered
one single point of memory. She was

One evening two years after the we'd

information. He complained of not
being well. and, one thing leading TO
another, he finally related tale of
woe. Several years before, while his
ship was at the Azores, his wife. who
had been sent ashore in the morning,
attempted TO return about nightfall,
just as squall was coming up. The
boat upset, and the occupants were
lost. They found neither the boat nor

OF the calamity. The loss of the wife

and Captain Clark realized that he bad
rights before him. They were alone In
the Office. and perhaps he thought of
killing the man who had come to break
up his happy home. 1t was only

Never Say Die.

In the August American Magazine
Jerome d. Travers, present amateur goli
champion of the United States, writes
an article entitled "Wonder Shots that
Won Golf Championships" Among the
many interesting stories he tells is the
following account of how in one OF the
champion contests he played in Walter
j. Travis, who seemed to be out OF the
running, rose to the occasion and won
an unexpected victory.
II was playing one OF my hrst Dig
matches with Walter j. Travis at Car
den City. He was a veteran then and !
kid. We finished the first thirty-six
holes all square. We halved the thirty.
seventh, and at the thirty eighth
pitched on the green within ten feet OF
the cup, while Travis over-played into
the bunker beyond considered the
match oven then and there. II had been
a grinding one all the way and ! could
already taste the sweets of victory.
Then got my first shock; Travis play
ed from the bunker within foot OF the
hole, dead for a three. was more than
shocked. | tried for my two, missed
and over-ran, and then missed my three,
losing hole and match. That taught me
a lesson--not to consider the hole won or
lost until the ball was in the cup.
Possibly the hardest upset that ever
developed came at Apawamis in 1911,
when Harold Hilton Of England and
Fred Herreshoff of Garden City fought
out the championship round. They were
all even az the end of thirty-six holes.
The thirty seventh hole, which naturally
is also number one, is located upon
high green, bordered at the right by
towering rock, almost cliff. Both
drives were down the middle, but Her
reshoff had the best shot. within easy
pitching of the green. Hilton therefore
had to play first His shot. badly sliced.
Travelled off to the right, and the match
booked to be over with America on top.
For il seemed as if nothing could keep
that bali from bounding of from the cliff
into an almost unplayable spot. HERES
hofT, after the grinding journey, must
have thought the same, and so must
have felt that at last his work was done.
But by some strange freak the ball
struck projection from the side of the
rock and caromed off upon the green for
sure four in place of an almost sure
six. The upset to Herreshoff was quite
natural and his approach was bad cost
ing him the hole and championship.

ing l20 to $50 pounds, are used,
These sacks cost from II to 16 cents
each, depending upon their quality
and whether they are new or second
hand. Sacks of good quality can be
used many times, and this has come
to be common practice. In both New
York and Boston there are firms that
act as clearing houses for potato
sacks, buying secondhand sacks from
anyone who may wish to sell them
and shipping them In potato dealers
either north or s2us 1t may hap
pen, therefore, that sacks that have
previously contained diseased tubers
coming from Europe or elsewhere
will be used for shipping select seed
from the north to the south.
There is considerable chance of DO
tato diseases being spread by means
of old sacks. Secondhand barrels
may also communicate these diseases.
IHe Question arises as to how this
spread of disease can be prevented:
and. of course, the solution is a sim
pie one-by. using only new sacks.
But this would increase to some ex-
tent the cost of potatoes and bring
about the accumulation of large ouan-
titles of old sacks. 1t seems very
likely that some means of sterilizing
old sacks could be put into practice
WHICH would make them fully as
harmless as agents in disseminating
diseases as new sacks This could
probably best be carried out by firms
dealing in sacks. 1t seems probable
that ~subjecting the sacks to steam
sterilization for several hours at a
pressure of Is to 20 pounds would rem
der them free from noxfous diseases
without increasing their cost to any
appreciable extent.
