did not claim her, she would feel
free. But she loved him; let him re-
member that every day of his life.
At the end of the first year Jim re-
membered it occasionally. He was
tending bar in one of the island sa.
looms At the end of the second year
he had hazy recollection. Then he
was doing odd jobs, in his sober mo-
ments, along the wharf. At the end OF
the third year, when he was nothing
but a beachcomber, he remembered
again, this time more clearly.
He remembered it when the month
ly vessel arrived. He expected that
it would carry letter for him. No let
ter had been at the post office; and
yet, when Jim looked up and saw a
young, athletic American, neatly
dressed, with sun helmet and blue
glasses, approaching him, he was sure
that he had come upon business con-
corning Elsie.
Jim looked up lazily from among the
little group of fellow loafers, and won
dered how any man could find the
energy to walk at that gait in such a
sun. The young man drew up to the
group and stopped.
Amy of you men know fellow
named Jim Bennett?" he inquired.
The man nearest Jim nudged him
lazily; the rest did not even shift their
eyes from the far horizon.
I'm Jim Bennett" said Jim, rising.
He saw the establishment upon the
young mans face.
will you please come over here?"
asked the stranger.
He led him about fifty yards away,
out of the hearing of the others. He
might have saved himself the trouble,
for those who were not asleep in the
shade had already forgotten Jim's ex-
istence. When they stood together up
on the sand the young man took Jim
by the shoulders and swung him round,
facing him.
Are you Jim Bennett or are you
lying?" he demanded, in crisp, nervous
accents.
For an instant Jim felt the resent
ment that would have come to any nor
NAL man at such treatment: but then
he remembered that he had left his
manhood behind him at the whisky
bar in Tam-tam town.
I'm Jim Bennett" he answered dog
gedly. What do you want with me?''
The other breathed hard. Where
do you come FROM" he demanded Il

drawled Jim, and the other let his
hands drop from his shoulders and
stared at him hopelessly.

Fowey, once one of the greatest sea-
ports of the land, which sent scores
of boats to the crusades, to the siege
Of Calais, to the plundering of Nor
mandy. a one-time warlike city whose
glory has long since faded. Fowey
sent more than twoscore men-of-war
to Calais-770 men. How pitifully
small are the figures today, when one
modern battleship requires "a larger
crew than did that feet $50 years ago.
Not fifty ships of modern type could
find place in Fowey harbor today, bat

ers-it affords admirable shelter.
Polperro Is Picturesque.
To the eastward of Fowey is Pol
perro, the most picturesque, the most
unspoiled of Cornish fishing ports, re-
tanning all its ancient. dignity of life
and labor unfluttered by summer
villas now beginning to crowd the
cliffs above it's head. Polperros chief
catch is mackerel, crabs and conger.
There are few, if any, conger-eel in
American waters; they are to some
people a most npleasant-looking fish.
Cornwall esteems them highly and
makes them into pie with much cream
and parsley.
Cornwall, Mrs. Albrecht explains,
makes any number of things into pie
and calls the product invariably
SQUAD pie" though all things but
squads are among the materials.
SQUAD pie" gave rise to the following
Cornish story repeated by the writer:
"The devil came one day to the
banks of the lamar, the ripping river
that divides Devon and Cornwall, and
looked over at the rocky land beyond.
His majesty considered the swift cur
rent and shook his head. MOI, he
said finally. No, that's no place for
me! Everyone who goes there Is
turned into a saint and everything
else into squad pie. I'm fit for neither
one nor the other And he stayed in
Devon"
Just beyond the Cornwall bound
airy Is Plymouth of Mayfiower men,
DRY, city which has never allowed
her growing commerce to interfere
with her position as a fortress Of the
first class and a naval arsenal. Ports
mouth, considerably further east upon
this coast, is also a strong fortress
and an important garrison town, and
it's great dockyards and repairing
docks are likely over-busied now in
the work of keeping the sea that Is
the wall of England"

Jim Bennett sat on the sand of
Tan-tan island and looked out across
the sea, as he had done each day for
more than year. Everybody in Tan
tan knew Jim Bennett, and the ragged
name was mentioned. 1t was not so
much the depths to which he had fall
en- as the fact that he had fallen so
far.
Three years ago he had left San
Francisco to make his fortune in the
South seas and come back to marry
Elsie Dale. But her father was many
times a millionaire, and had other
ideas for Elsie's future. Everything
depended, then, on Jim's making good
on the copra trading trip, in which he
had sunk his little capital.
At least, so far as marrying Elsie
was concerned. Her father would
never consent. Jim knew Jack Dale
too well to hope for that. But if the
trip succeeded Jim could afford to bear
the old mans enmity, and Elsie had
said she would.

charted reef off Tan-tan. Jim saw his
little capital lost. He had barely the
fare home. Despair took hold of him.

Insane Man, as Strict Sabbatarian,

Orville L. Kiplinger, chaplain OF the
Michigan City (Ind.) reformatory, tells
the following instance of scrupulous
conscience:
Some years ago an insane patient
was given to the immodest, not to say
expensive, habit OF tearing his cloth
ing ftoin him and converting jeans,
ticking denim or whatever the clothes
were made of, into carpet rags.

ERVHE quaint, delightful coast coun-
try of Cornwall, a favored haunt
n of peace and quietness, yet
III where some of the most i'm
{ ..portant English naval stations
are now busy, is described for the Ma
tional Geographic society by Florence
Craig Albrecht. At points along this
coast, England holds concentrated
great battle fleets. Here, west of
Lands End, are the Scilly islands, and,
beyond Cornwall, further up the chan
MEL lies Plymouth, military harbor and
great naval base. The charm of this
old-fashioned, picturesque land of
fisher folk and peasants is told by
Mrs. Albrecht, who explored it's coast
before war clouds recalled a martial
stir to Cornwall, for the society in the
following bulletin:
Here are rock and headland and
cliff, now green, now golden with
gorse, now bare and rugged; inlet bay
and harbor, with here and there an
isolated house, a tiny village, pre-
tentious town, a great port. An un-
friendly coast? Yes, with heavy seas
and winds, with thick sea-fogs-a dan
gerOus one; rocks ever ready to tear
holes in the stoutest vessel, currents
ever ready to drive them on. But
picturesque coast; wonderfully beau
tiful coast, both upon summer days
and in winter storms; coast with
many harbors, none too easy Of en-
trance by reason of rocks and tides,
and many impossible for any but the
smallest craft"
All Have Splendid Memories.
There are splendid memories re-
naming to all Of these ports, the wri-
ter says, for too many fleets have
sailed up and down the channel since
history began not to have visited all
these places with the task Of making
history. Fishing fleets have kept the
foreground of the picture through lat
ter years, but signs of war prepare
ton have never been absent from
Cornwalrs waters and huge squadrons
of grim, gray men-of-war have regu-
larly come and gone and gathered
there. The writer tells of Penzance,
the sunny pleasure-loving little sea
city where the most picturesque of
pirate types originated; Of Newlyn,
the home. of the true old sort Of fish
ermen, and the Mecca of artists; of

Cornish history, was an important city

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have shared II.
September 13-John Burroughs and
Ursula North.
By MARY MARSHALL.

Our great American naturalist, John
Burroughs, fell in love with the woman
who later became his wife when he was
only eighteen years old, as he points out
simply in his autobiography, the whole
course of his life was altered as a result
of this event.
The young woman who was so fortu-
nate as to win this great mans love
bore the picturesque name of Ursula
North. She lived in a small town in
New York State, not far from Bur-
roughs' home. At the time of their rrst
meeting Burroughs was a teacher in the
school there, and in spite of his youth
and natural timidity he managed to
command the respect and even fear of
| his charges. II we take his own de-
scription of himself at the time at its
face value we may imagine that he was
not che of the besux Of the town.
II was extremely bashful," he writes,
/ had no social aptitude, and was likely
to, stutter when anxious or embarras ssed." :"
Yet apparently Burroughs was not with
out admirers among the girls OF the
neighborhood. and Ursula North at least
appreciated that beneath the rather cal
low exterior there was the heart Of a
man well worth her love and lifelong
devotion.
Burroughs speaks rather quantity
about his meeting with Ursula III I

ferent in many ways. might have mar
ried some other eir,. might have had a
large family of chNd"An. and the whole
course of my life might have been great
ly changed. 1t frightens me now TO
think that might have missed the Wash
ington life, and Whitman-and much
else that has counted for so much with
me. What I might have gained is In
the scale, like imponderable air.
John Burroughs did not wait long to be
married, and was scarcely more than
twenty when he took Ursula North to be
his wife. She must have been a bride
of unusually adaptable habits for John
Burroughs spent the next six or seven
years of his life going about from one
teaching position to another, spending the
summer at his home farm where he work.

Like most men who make a mark in the
world, Burroughs always has felt that
he owed much to his mother, and he
