HAVE THEIR OWN TROUBLES
BY No Means an Easy Task for Stok.
ers to Hit the Furnace Door
When Ship Rolls.

1t was while I was being initiated
into the technique of stoking by shov.
cling coal under the boilers that
change of course brought the
swinging seas dead abeam, and set the
ship rolling even more drunkenly than
before, writes Lewis r. Freeman in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. After
failing to hit the "dark spots" and
'hollows" two or three times as I
staggered to the roll, and once even
missing the furnace door itself, one
of the stokers, taking compassion, re-
lieved me of the scoop and put the
trouble right with a half-dozen quick
ly tossed shovelfuls. I was frankly
glad to work over to where I could
take "half-nelson" round bar by
the starboard bunker.
A heavy slam-banging from the op-
posite end of the boiler room indicated
that things were not going quite so
smoothly there, and edging cautiously
along, I was presently able to get
some hint of the cause from the words
of volubly cursing stoker who limped
out to tell me that the "blinkin' skip
as took CHARGE" Rubbing bruised
shin and glowering balefully from a
blackened eye which appeared to have
been bumped against boiler, he ex-
planned, in language more forceful than
elegant, that some impractical theorist
had encouraged them to experiment
with wheels on the side of the skip,
with the idea of making it easier to
push about over the coalcluttered
deck. In the picturesque language Of
the sea, it had "taken ch; rg and
so effectually that one swift, straight
rush to starboard, followet. by "goog-
ly" progress back tc port, put every
man who, either by chance or intent,
barred it's way, more or less hors de
combat. ',--''-ar
Straight down the one-in-three in
cline from the port to the starboard
bunkers lolloped the juggernaut, dash
ing the protesting anatomies of the
stokers to left and right as it went.
Splitting blood and oaths indiscrim-
inately, one man clung to it all the
way, however, and he also it was
who-taking advantage of the tilt
finally rendered it harmless by push
ing it over on it's side, where it was
left wiggling impotently like an over
turned turtle. ID ..tH'::>s'rp%.::

she spent that evening going thor
oughly over the papers and writing
letters to various school boards, taking
a chance at one or twosshe found in
the Manitoba paper but centering her
hopes on the country west Of the
Rockies. Her savings in the bank
amounted to three hundred odd dol
lars, and cash in hand brought the
sum to total Of three hundred and
s1xty-tive. At any rate, she had su1n-
cient to insure her living for quite
a long time. And she went to bed
feeling better than she had felt for
two weeks.
Very shortly observation-disclosures, 1t
seemed, by return mail-Hazel got re-
plies to her letters of inquiry. The
fact that each and every one seemed
bent on securing her services aston
ished her.
But the reply from Carlboo Mead
ows, B. c., the first place she had
thought Of, decided her. The member
Of the school board who replied held
forth the natural beauty of the coun-
try as much as he did the advantages
of the position. The thing that per-
haps made the strongest appeal to Ha-
eel was little kodak print inclosed
in the letter. showing the schoolhouse.
The building itself was primitive
enough, Of logs, with pole-and-sod
roof. But it was the huge back
ground, the timbered mountains rising
to snowclad heights against cloud
less sky, that attracted her.
She sat for long time looking at
the picture, thinking. Here was the
concrete, visible presentment Of some
thing that drew her strongly. She
found an atlas, and looked up Carl
boo Meadows on the map. It was not
to be found and Hazel Judged it to be
a purely local name. But the letter
told her that she would have to stage
it a hundred and sixty-f1ve miles north
from Ashcroft, B. c., where the writer
would meet her and drive her to the
Meadows.
"What a country!" she whispered.
"It's wild; really, truly wild; and ev-
erything I've ever seen has been
tanned and smoothed down, and made
eminently respectable and conven-
tional long ago. That's the place.
That's where I'm going. and I'm going

Pope May Issue Appeal.

Washington, Oct. 12. - That Pope
Benedict will appeal to the world to
accept President Wilson's IA peace
principles was indicated in reports to
this government. These stated that
the Pope has selected Nov. 2-An
Souls day-for his move. In this con.

Unaccountably, since Kitty Brooks
visit, she found herself itching to turn
her back on Granville and it's unpleas-
ant associations. She did not attempt
to analyze the feeling. Strange lands,
and most Of all, the West, held alluring
promise. One thing was certain
Granville, for all she had been born
there, and grown to womanhood there
was now no place for her. The very
people who knew her best would make
her suffer most.

have to go thru divorce pro-

In case of a lost sailor, his
