 "Haul her in, Simms; haul her in. That's more like 1t. Now hold all taut+ Send up the lady first, captain i; there'H be hand to help her in the chains"
 She did not hesitate, grasping the rope firmly in her hands as the negro and I lifted her high enough to get foothold.
 You are all right, Miss Vera?"
 "Yes," she called down.
 'Then go up, but hold tight; the vessel may roll"
 McCann followed, too glad to thus escape me to refuse, yet plainly enough half dead with fear As soon as saw his legs dangling, while the seamen above dragged him inboard, I drew myself up to the lower ratline, leaving the negro alone to hold the line.
 "Hey, above there," shouted. What shall we do with the boat?"
 "Let her go; there is no room to stow it on deck. Come aboard, Simms."
 We went up together, the ladder swinging dizzily to our movements. The voice of the man who seemed to be in command growled down from the poop:
 Haul ia the ladder, and stow 1t {; then go forward and get some O that rifle overheard afore dark. This way, captain; I'd like private word with yer afore yer go below"
 There were perhaps dozen men in view, a typical freighter's crew, I judged, mostly foreign faces, two of them negroes. They worked silently, and then shuffied forward, without ex- hibiting the slightest interest in my presence, or giving q glance aft. Evi- dently something unusual had oc- cured, but just what was the nature of the accident to the Indian Chief I was unable to decide. climbed the few steps, and joined the red-faced man waiting me on the poop.

HAPPENING FOOD FOR DUCKS

 Is Recommended as Good.

A good fattening food for ducks Is three parts cornmeal, one part wheat bran and one part high-grade beef scraps mixed crumbly with milk or wa ter and fed at morning and noon- The evening food should consist of cracked corn. No more should be fed at each meal than they will eat up promptly. and then the troughs should be re moved.

WATER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
High-Prced Feed Alone Will Not Pro- duce Eggs to Any Great Extent
 Keep Up Water Supply.

From the hens viewpoint. water ia worth just as much as feed, for she cannot make an egg with either orse alone. Therefore, the man who fur nlshes high-priced feed but neglecfs the water supply is making great mistake and will have to be content with limited egg yield.

DUCKS ARE VERY TRAcTABLE
Do Not Give as Much Trouble ss liens and Are Easily Tamed--Kecp
 Quarters Dry.

Ducks are more tractable than hens and more easily cared for. They can be tanned with little care. Those that are kept over for breeding stock should have dry quarters, but may be allowed to run all winter. The thick down protects them from the severe cold.

DON'T FORCE MOTHER HENS
Where Compelled to Stay With Young Chicks, Older Fowls Often Work
 Serious Injury.

Don't try to make hens take care of their chicks after they seem to want to get rid of them, because if compelled to stay with the young ones they some- times attack them. Sometimes such hens have destroyed entire fiocks of young.
