Before him only shoreless

Brave admiral, speak, what shall say?'
why, say, sail on! sail on! sail on

My men grow CHASTITY wan and weak"
The stout mate thought of home; spray
OF salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.
what shall say brave admiral say,

"Why you shall say at break of day.
Sail on. sail on! sail on! sail on!'"
They sailed and sailed as winds might blow,
why, now not even God would know
Should and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave admiral speak and say
He said: "Sail on sail on! sail ont"

'.This mad sea shows his teeth tonight,
He curls his lip he lies in wait
With lifted teeth. as If to bite!
Brave admiral say but good word:

The words leapt like leaping sword
"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on"
Then pale and worn, he kept his deck
And peered through darkness All, that night

CHEMICAL PROGRESS.

At the national exposition of chemical indus
tries held recently in New York City, progress
in many important lines Of chemistry was
noted, and the enthusiasm which has led
eighty per cent. of the exhibitors to reserve
space for next years show is promise Of still
further accomplishment. But every chemist
knows and every commercial house knows that
European competition is not gone forever. The
stimulus of the war has been wholesome, yet
the manufacturing chemists can't forget that
it is artificial. New plants are built cautiously
The dye industry, particularly, feels itself
on uncertain ground. The new dyestuffs tar
if is no guarantee Of success, for if Germany
can continue to make vastly superior article,
the German product will be largely used in this
country. Years of research and thousands of
experiments with process are behind German
superiority in dye-making, while we, with all
our resources, have been content to depend on
foreign goods.
The tariff on dyestuffs comes late. Years
ago. when republican congress at the sugges
ton of the textile interests kept dyestuffs on
the protected list that foreign dyes would be
cheap, the heart was starved out of the Ameri-
can dye industry. Anything like superiority,
or even the manufacture of fairly good
article, will take years yet.
There is something in Thomas A. Edison s
proposal of government experiment station
for the dye industry, if all-the-way fight is
to be made against German competition The
present administration has been a poor time
for subsidies, government ownership outright
being apparently preferred to cooperation, but
that idea of Mr. Edison s may be useful later.

In a statement. carefully prepared by her
new premier, Japan has renewed the assur-
ance that she is not thinking of trying to gain
possession of the Philippines. Count Terauchi
ridicued the idea that his country seeks con-
troll of the islands and said that, if any power
was to be there, he was glad it was to be the
United States. No doubt his declaration
should be taken at its face value. Japan is not
looking for trouble But the fact that it does
not covet the islands does not lessen this coun-
rvs obligation to keep them until the Filipinos
are fit to govern themselves. We are bound to
continue the work of education in the Philip
pines, and the question of independence is not
affected by what the Japanese premier has
said.

asked me II you were my wife, and II
you knew about her. OF course I told
her you didn't, and then she said she
would like to meet you. OF course I
saw her game right away. and refused,

quietly. rs she married to him?''

THE fellow is rather a decent sort.
and he suggested a drink when he saw
that the girl was going to make it un-
pleasant. The upshot of it was that
l drank with them out there until 1t
was too late for the girl to see you.
And when 1 came in 1 don't know what
happened"
Helen sat perfectly still. She won
dered vaguely IL this confession was to
make any radical difference in her love
for her husband. Were all men as weak
as he was? 1t seemed to her then that
she could have met a hundred girls like
Virginia Evans, IL only Warren had not
taken the way out that he thought
best
What are you thinking?" he asked
finally.
Helen looked up. "Oh. I was just
thinking what a small way that was out
of difficulty. Did you think it would
be better for me to see you as you were
last night, and have you talk to me as
you did, so that l was in deadly fear
that you would wake up the whole car,
or to hear what this girl had to say?
Remember. 1 knew all about her. 1t
couldn't have hurt me any more to talk
with her than to learn your relations
with her that awful time"
Warren sat silent. and nothing more
was said. Helen gulped down some cof-
fee, realizing that she ought to take
something. She even managed to swal-
low some scrambled eggs and a little
toast. The situation was almost more
than she could bear, and most of all
she hated to have her people meet them
with so radical a difference between
herself and Warren. For the first time
in her life she didn't know what to
do. Finally she turned to him with a
visible effort.
For the present Warren" she said
evenly, well drop the, entire subject
Let's try to act as If nothing had hap
pened while We are out here. There is
nothing else to be done. 1 wouldn't
have them know that anything like this
has occurred between us for anything in
the world. If you can act a little bit
for the time being, l can. and after
ward, perhaps, we can think OF way
out"
Helen's speech left Warren too sur
prised to answer. Sometimes he ina
gined he had discovered new things
about Helen of late. He did not stop
to realize that while woman may go
on loving man, each act of weakness
directed against her robs her love of
an element of respect
