others who spent their first year in

Warner and Baird are the candi-

performers. Jimmy Smith, shortstop,
is miraculous fielder, but woefully
weak as a hitter. Carson Bigbee, a
rear hitter, but an outfielder by rights,
has done such good work at second
base that he may be retained in that
position. There is little chance that

blue light marked the waves where
the. ships prov cleft them. And sud
denly, silently, leaving no bubbles anc
no whirlpool, the ship would sink into
the sea. Every seven years, the story
went, the Dutehman might come
ashore; and if ever he found maid
who would be true to him, till death,
the days of his voyaging would end.
Daland had gone on long voyage,
and Erik had sought more than once
to gain the girls promise to wed him.
But always she evaded him, and put
him off, and Erik told himself that
she loved no one else and one day
would know that she loved him. And
in the meanwhile he would watch over
her and keep all harm away.
When Daland's ship came back
from it's voyage, and was within sight
of the red roofs of home, there arose
a great storm and drove him from
his course and came near swapping
him; but when it was over he found
himself only 30 miles down the coast
and headed his vessel toward home
And the helmsman, weary now that
the danger was over, fell asleep; in
the middle of the night there was a
scraping and crashing, and Daland's
men, coming on deck, saw that they
had grazed a great vessel, whose
masts were black and its sails bloody
red.
The master of this vessel came
aboard and told Daland that if he
would take him home and give him |
hospitality and shelter he would make /
him rich. His men, silent, gloomy |
creatures, brought aboard chest full |
Of jewels which the stranger, Dutch
man, told Daland should be his for
this hospitality. Daland readily
agreed
Then the stranger asked him if he
mad a daughter, and told him that he
greatly desired wife, and that if the
maid would be his, all the wealth that
lie had should be hers. Daland sang
lis daughters praises and readily
Igreed that if the Dutch master found
avor in her sight, he would add his
blessing.
So they came home. And it hap t
'ened that even as they came, Senta, {
n the bright kitchen of her fathers t
ome, was telling the village girls of
he story of the Flying Dutchman; I
nd when she was done, and one of the |
iris cried out in pity: "Alas, who q

~ ENTA was the daughter of
J - Norwegian fisher captain. Sh,
~ was strange, silent, gray-eyec
girl, and they used to laugh a
her in the red rooted village on the
cliff where her father, Daland, lived
because she loved to gaze upon the
, sea. PEACEFUL or angry, glittering in
the sun, or sullen and menacing in an
approaching storm, Senta delighted in
it and it was her pleasure to escape
from all companions and, seeking out
a lonely place upon the cliff, watch
this strange friend in all his thousand
moods.
! There was young hunter named
Erik who wanted to wed Senta and
who was very tender and unfailing in
his devotion to her; but she used to
think to herself, fond as she was of
him, she could never marry him, for
the sea that meant so much to her of
poetry and dreaming and desire, spell
ed nothing at all to Erik.
There was another dream, too,
about which the girls in the village
twitted her sometimes, and that had
to do with a picture that hung in her
fathers, Daland's, house. 1t was a
picture ola sorrowful, dark-eyed man,
and it had been brought back by her
grandfather from cruise around TIE |
world. They called it "the flying
Dutchman," though nobody knew |
much about it, and it was said to be
the picture of a mariner, who, years
ago, had tried to drive his ship ar0und |
the Cape of Good Hope on stormy
and terrible night. Time and again
he was driven back, till he cried our
in fury that he would round the cape
that night if he lost his soul to the
devil. And the devil heard and took
him at his word, and now he must sail
up and down the seas forever. Some
times lone helmsmen saw him of u
night when their ships lay becalmed;
and his great blackmasted, red-saileG
vessel swept by with a little noise of

her father was home, and on thu
threshold she met him, and saw the
stranger with him, and he was the
very man of the picture. She stared
forgetting her father, and paying lit
tie attention to his bluff greetings and
explanations. And presently Daland,
seeing how they were moved by the
sight of each other, went out, and the
master of the red sailed vessel drop
ped to his knees and cried
at is thy face | have sought the
world over all these weary years"
| And Senta told him how she had
dreamed of him for long, and how
eagerly she longed to save him by any
sacrifice. So these two melted into
each others arms; and there was per-
feet happiness and trust in Senta's
heart; but in the Dutchman's sorrow
full eyes there still lay the shadow of
doubt.
That night the betrothal feast was
held for these two in Daland's home,
but the huntsman, Erik, stood aside
with dark face and his heart was
very heavy.
When the feast was over and the
guests beginning to depart, and Da-
land had drawn his future son-in-law
aside, Erik led Senta outside into the
night, for he said he must speak to
her alone for a little. And wildly, !
passionately, he begged her to forget
this madness, which could bring her
only grief, and reminded her of her
promise to him Ia promise which had
never been given, but the young man
was beside himself) and he claspei
her, and suddenly the Dutchman was
before them.
Woe, woe to thee, thou false one"
he cried in terrible voice, and thrust
aside Senta's entreaties and her
claspings and STROBE away through
the dark. And they heard him piping
up his crew, and in voice of doom
crying:
All hands on deckl On, on we seil!"
Erik held her, and her father and
The old woman, her nurse, came run

Then Senta, wrenching herself free

Owing to the high price of beef and
pork, the health commission of the
city of New York has given permits
sion for the sale of horse flesh. The
commission believes that horse flesh
will not cost one-half as much as beef.
Upwards of twenty butchers already
have taken out permits to sell it..
Where will the horses come from :?
Hasn't the war taken nearly all the
horses that the motor cars had
spared?" asks New York newspA-
per. The department of agriculture
recently made census of farm ami
mails in this country and estimates
that, in spite of war shipments, there
are II million of horses in the United
States, and that there was loss of
only per cent last year. There is an
average of more than one horse to
family. There are one-half as many
horses as steers with which to feed
the public, so why not eat horse flesh
Horse flesh has been a staple diet in
France, Belgium and Germany for
many years. But horse eating has
never been fashionable in America
except perhaps among the Indians
and it is something of jolt to learn
that New York is getting the appe-
tite. 1t will never become popular in
the farming communities or in the
small towns. A farmer would as soon
think of eating the hired girl as one
of his horses.

Among the stories of the war in
Europe there are several which tell of
mothers who have lost all their sons
in battle. One story is that of a wom-
an of France whose three sons went
to the front, two of them to meet
death almost instantly and the third
to die almost before the sound of taps
had died away from over the graves
of his brothers. Always in war from
all countries engaged there are these
stories of the mothers sacrifices. 1t
is not an unusual thing to find all the
sons of a family at the front at the
time of their country's need. 1t was
Massachusetts mother whose four
sons were killed in one battle of the
Civil war. A letter which Abraham
Lincoln wrote to this mother who gave
her four sons to death is a monument
which will be as lasting as any which
nation could provide. 1t is said that
a copy of Lincoln's letter hangs on the
wall of an English university, and that
underneath it is written the word of
a great Englishman that it is perhaps
the finest example of letter writing in
existence. A mother given up her
children to her country. No tribute
even from the pen of Lincoln can
make full payment for the gift.
