What happened eventually might
have happened anyway. Be this as II
may, Hemenway did a simple thing
one day, which, like cutting a deck
of cards, later on changed the deal.
The cruise was two weeks old when
he said at breakfast one morning:
81 don't like the name of this boat,
and I'm going to change it, The Run
away sounds too much as though we
really did run away, when. as a mat
ter of fact, as we all well know, none
of us has run away at all unless it be

can do as you please" replied Jim. 4
don't care as long as you don't pick
out something foolish"
"Watch me; I'll give you something
nifty" said Hemenway.
He then went down to the stern of
the schooner and unscrewed the rails
ed brass letters that formed the
yachts name. These he placed on the
deck and shuffled them around until
he got a combination that suited him.
Then he procured a small pot of
black paint, the basic color of the
yacht and painted anew the strip
where the letters had been placed.
When this was dry he screwed on the
letters forming the word WAUNA
and tossed the Y and r overheard.
Lent must have been the profound
thinker of the party. He was very
stingy with his words and never spoke
unless spoken to. He never asked
where they were going and appeared
to take absolutely no interest in the
voyage.
mighty poor company, and after a
while the others gave him up as a
poor job. He took his regular trick
at the wheel, did what he was told to
do, never shirked his work, but took
no part in the more or less airy con
v~ersation that prevailed on shipboard.
However he was a good listener and
a keen observer, and at bottom he was
of a suspicious nature.
Hemenway's act in changing the
name of the yacht and his laughing
reasons for doing SO aroused Lent's
suspicious. When he reviewed his
dealings with Hemenway, the whole
thing looked queer to him. AS near as
he could Judge the twins were induc.
ed to go along on the same pretext
that Hemenway gave him.
He recalled that Hemenway declar-
ed he was in poor health. Lent de-
cided in his own mind that Hemen-
way was the healthiest sick man he
ever laid eyes on. There wa some.
thing back Of the whole business, he
was sure, and he resolved to find out
something about the breezy young
man that posed as owner of the yacht.
No ooner was this resolution form
ed than Lent proceeded to carry it out.
It wal not until two days later that he
found the proper opportunity. Hem

were working on their idea in the lee
Of the skylight, and Mcdonald was

"Not on your life., replied George,
with a laugh. I'm just beginning TO

At noon the twins took an observa-
ton. At four bells, following the
promise to Hemenway, the course was
changed. The wind had hauled more
to the west, and it was simply a case
Of veering off. When sheets were
eased to a fine quartering breeze the
course was laid south-southwest, half,
west.
At eight bells Jim went to the ON
%panionway and yelled:
"All hands on deck!"
The amateur tars came scrambling
up in a surprisingly short space OF
time. Hemenway promptly led Nc
Donald to one side and said:
"Take my advice and cut out an

rock. constitutes a large item of eN-
pense in mining, and any reduction OF
this expense is always welcomed One
way of reducing cost would be to les
sen the number of misfires or missed
holes, as they are commonly called in
the mine. Precautions may be taken
to reduce them to a minimum, They
are some times caused through poor
judgment in placing the holes, the
first hole to be fired breaking to a
jointsor cleavage plane, tearing off the
collar of some other hole, and with 1t
the fuse, causing miss No infleXi-
BILE rule can be given for placing a
tirely on the character and hardness
of the ground to be broken The ma
chine man must use his judgment,
which only becomes ripened through
experience. The fuse should always
be of the best quality whether in wet
or dry ground. A poor quality of fuse
is dear at any price; the best fuse is
always the cheapest, as one misfire,
due to poor fuse, particularly in hard
ground may result in more damage
than the cost of several cases of good
fuse. The same applies to decorators
or caps. The best results are obtain
ed by using high power caps, 5X or
OK. In the case of gelatine powder,
it frequently happens that SX or Ak
cap may still fail to explode the charge
and merely sets the dynamite on fire,
causing a burnt hole which is worse
than an ordinary miss owing to the
resulting noxious fume, which is more
poisonous to inhale than the fume
from powder that has exploded pro-
perly. A burned hole in the absence
of good ventilation, usually means a
headache for the next shift.
Nothing weaker than 5X or OK caps
should be used Misfires may be caus-
ed by not using proper care In cutting
or splitting the fuse, so that the holes
will go in proper succession, the hole
that should be second or third some
times being the first to explode, pos
sibly tearing a portion off the collars
of the holes that should have preceded
it, pulling out or cutting off fuse and
resulting. in one or more missed holes.

Another occasional cause of missed
