while having his outing the baby
should have his eyes protected
against the sunlight and the face

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


A certain young man. whom
I have known for six years. has
called on me many times, but he
also calls on other young ladies.
whom 1 know we'll and seems to
have no special preference.
We have been very good
friends ever since we met. until
the previous year. when he was
become acquainted with some OF
my friends, and seems to show
some affection for them, and
somehow has lesssned my friend
ship with him. Now. what I
would like to hear from you IL.
whether IL would be proper to
call his attention TO the fact that
our friendship has to be ended,
and see how he takes IL or
would you advise me to keep
quiet and stay away from him.

YOUR friendship is certainly not
on a basis to Justify you in
making any demands. Evidently
you are one OF many friends in
whom this young man Is inter
ested and It seems as II the friend
ship were lessening because Of
other interests that have come Into
his life. II you create a situation.
l am afraid you will only put your
self in a position where the wrong
sort OF man might laugh at you
and think you were making a fool
OF yourself over him. Truly. the
wIsest thing for you to do would
be to find other interests and just
treat this man as the friendly ac-
quaintAncs he seems to consider

Leayord and I were the last, and we
left the dinghy swamped behind us,
dangling and crushed against the steel
side of the schooner, upheld only by
the strength Of the rope. 1t was all
the work OF a feverish minute, in
which thought was impossible because
Of the stress Of action. But now, as
elung breathless to those lower mizzen
tatlines, the seven of us jammed upon
the little platform, the green surge of
water below slushing against the
wreck we had Just left, the strange ST.
lence of this vessel which we had
boarded struck me with full force. In

Il was broad daylight; If there was
man alive aboard, he could never have
failed to see or hear US In this fierce
struggle for life. Yet no one was Wis
lble; no sound of voice was heard; no
face peered over at us above the rail.
Il was like ghost schooner, and felt
the very heart Of me chill as I stared
into the blank faces Of my huddled
companions, and along the shiny sides,
and the deserted rail.

Leayord soberly. "Aint she got no
crew."
II don't know what to make Of It,"
I confessed. "but We'll soon find out.

We footed the ropes, and swung up
b the rail, clinging there long enough

Il was as clean as a millionaire's
yacht, and had the appearance Of one,
with brasswork glistening, and paint
fresh and bright. Every rope seemed
coiled in place, the sail gaskets firmly
ded, the planks spotless, the canvas as
white as though Just out Of the sail

There's no sign of any trouble

Leayord; the schooner seems deserted.
