FLoA1ED TO THE NEW SITE
Village Of Proxlneetown Was Put on
Rats and Moved Across
the Bay.

Commercial street In Provincetown
had an origin in keeping with its pres
ent nautical air and appeal to the
Imagination. The town originally
stood on the spit of sand far cut
across the harbor, where the light
house now is. Many years ago the
government bought Provincetown,
houses and all, in order to protect the
harhor from the threatening sea. The
Provincetonians went to the govern.
ment and asked what they were go
ing to do with the houses.
Pull 'em down, of course" said
the government.

late owners.
Sure" replied the government, III
you'll take EN- away" -
"Sure!" echoed the Provincetoni-
ans.
Old wreckers that they were, they
applied their technic to the problems
Of housemoving. They bulkheaded
their dwellings up, necklaced empty
casks about them IN the way Of life
preservers, and one sunny morning
the village Of Provincetown. true to
its maritime traditions, set sail,
schoolhouse and all, and came float
ing Eayly across the harbor to where
1t now stands. Near the railway
track today they point out cSrtain

Rosa belonged to him more absolutely.
more. completely. than at any time
heretofore. so he held her close. Rosa
lay relaxed against her lovers shoul-
der and In hating murmurs, interrupt
ed many times by caresses, she told
OReilly Of her need for him, and her
utter happiness. It was the fullest hour
Of their lives.
With daylight, NORM routed out his
men. There was sleepy muttering,
the patter Of bare feet upon the deck
above. then the creak OF blocks as the
sails were raised. A few moments, then
there came hail which brought their
hearts into their throats. NORM him
self answered the call.
"Good morning, countryman! Have
you caught any Of those accursed ILL
busters since saw you last? So? Cayo
Romano, Ell? What have ! aboard!"
Norm laughed loudly. "You know very
well-cannon and shot for the rebels.
Of course. VIII you look? NO!
Then a cup of coffee perhapsT
O'Reilly peeped through a dirt
stained cabin window and saw that che
volandra was slipping past the stern OF
the ironclad, so be withdrew his head
quickly.
OF course this was but one danger
past and there were many more ahead,
for Morin's schooner was liable to be
stopped by any Of the numerous patrol
boats on duty to the eastward. Never
theless, when an anxious hour had gone
by and she was~well out toward the
harbor mouth, the refugees told one
another they were safe.

From Paris comes another hint

The Parisienne has learned to fight

women because she pays heed to de
