Sam. The men Of the big fishing feet

istences which are dangerous to bod

The fishing craft which seek the
cod, bake, halibut and other deep.sea
ground fish on the Georges have mea

abled, and the usual program has been
that when a man got sick he had to
stay sick and take his chances of re-
covery, being out of reach of physi
clans, says the New York Press, edi
torially. In single season many
boats and lives are lost, with numbers
more of men injured.
The national government has placed
the coast guard cutter Androscoggir

Hair Turns White In a Night.

That hair ever turns white in sin
gle night has been emphatically de-
MED by some doctors, in spite of his
toric misunderstood as that of Marie
Antoinette-to the contrary. But Doc
tor Lebar called the attention of the
Societe Medicale des Hopitaux of
Paris to an actual case. 1t was that
of young French soldier who was
blown into the air by mine and
buried in the earth, from which he
extricated himself with difficulty.
The man was deafened by the deto-
nation, his face was burned, and there
were several bruises on his head. He
was taken to neighboring hospital,
where the following day he noticed
four islets of white hair on the fronto-
parieto-occipital region of his head.
The loss of color was complete from
the roots to the ends of the hairs, and
the white hairs were as firmly in his
scalp as their brown neighbors.

Gerry refused to be dragged so far
from golf and his club. He stuck dog
gedly TO Red Hill till the leaves began
to turn. and then consented to move
back to town.
On their last night at the FRS Mrs.
Lansing, who was complacently Aunt
Jane to Waynes and Eltons, enter
tanned Red Hill as whole to dinner.
With the arrival OF dessert, to Allx'
surprise, Nance said. Port all around,
please. Aunt Jane"
LansIngs, wnynes and Eltons were
heavy drinkers In town, but 1t was a
tradition, as Allx knew, that on Red
Hill they dropped it---aIl but the old
captain. II was as though, amid the
scenes OF their childhood. they be-
came children and just as French
man OF the old school will not light a
cigarette In the presence OF his father,
so they would not take drink for
drinks sake on Red Hill.
So Alix looked on interestedly as the
old butler set glasses and started the
port. When 1t had gone the round
Nance stood up, and with her hands
on the tables edge, leaned toward
them all. For a Wayne, she was very
fair. Az they looked at her the color
swept over her bare neck. Its wave
reached her temples and seemed to
stir the clustering tendrils Of her hair
Her eyes were grave and bright with
moisture. Her lips were tremulous
"We drink to Alan" she said, to-day
is Alan's birthday"
She sat down. They all raised their
glasses Little Glen had no wine
She put thin hand on Gerry's arm.
Please, Gerry, pleasel'
Gerry held down his glass. Clematis
dipped in the tip OF her little finger
and as they all drank. gravely carried
the drop of wine to her lips.

"Most satisfactory. But there was y

that while they did not approve %

A strange stiffness followed on Alix'
words. TO the judge and to Gerry 1t
was as though the picture had opened
window to her mind. Then she
closed the window. Come, Gerry"
she said, turning. Make your bow
to the judge and bark"
Gerry was excited, though he did
not show II. "You have dressed my

his triumph. He knew instinctively
that coming from him instead Of from
the judge the picture would not have
struck that intimate spark.
The next day Gerry gave his consent
to Alix' plan for flying trip abroad,
but with reservation. The reserva-
ton was that she should join some
party and leave him behind.
Judge Healey heard of this arrange
ment only when 1t was on the point
Of being put into effect. In fact he
was only just in time at the steamer
to wave good-by to Alix. Leaning
over the rail, with her high color, moist
red lips and big excited eyes making
play under golden crown of hair and
over huge armful of roses, Alix
presented picture not easily forgot

The judge turned to Gerry. "She
ought not to be going without you,
my boy"
ooh, it's all right" said Gerry light
ly. "She's well chaperoned. It's a
big party, you know"
But during the weeks that followed
the judge saw 1t was not all right.
Gerry had less and less time for golf
and more and more for whiskys and
sodas. The Judge was troubled and
felt a sort of relief when from far
away Alan Wayne cropped into his af-
fairs and gave him something else to
think about.
When Angus MeDale of McDale and
McDaie called without appointment

going to hear something about Alan.
