Always the Boss.

/ was visiting my brother, who Is
country minister, and one day he asked
me to be witness at the wedding of
q couple who had just come in.
The bride was tall and heavy, while
the bridegroom was much undersiZed.
The minute the ceremony was over,
the bride grabbed the minister, and
gave him a resounding kiss, then flung
her arms about the bridegroom and
fairly lifted him from the floor In her
embrace.
Turning to me, she said in a stage
whisper, "Ain't he cute? l married
him because he is so much smaller
than me, and he's six years younger,
too, so 1 can manage him. I've always
been boss, and I always mean to be-"
Strange to say. upon inquiring about
this couple some five years later.

CHAPTER Ill.
Accldent-or Murder?

MacKnight's caustic estimate Of
the steamers size had not been very
wide of the mark. The Monleigh was
certainly very small, and certainly
frowsy, unkempt and weatherbeaten
little craft; and her general appear
ance bespoke her as one of those
homeless, vagrant waits of the ocean
that knew no schedule-that took the
crumbs Of the worlds commerce
where she could find them-and was
grateful for the crumbs.
Wallen had been afraid that morn
ing that he was in for relapse, but
he had no fever nowhere was none
Of that disquieting giddiness in his
head, and-he smiled happily to HIM
self-a few days at sea would put
him back again in his old form.

We'll, there's no hurry now," Mott
returned. "She won't sail without us.
Look here! You've come from Mac
knights, you say. We heard at Pobi
that there was Il survivor from the
bark UpolO there, and we were taking
the ride over-Miss MacKay and Ito
investigate. Is there anv truth In the
stOry?"
Wallen gasped. What interest could
they have In the Upolo,
"a little" he said, with a faint
smile. Seeing that I'm the survivor"
What" calculated Mott. "The
deuce you are! Well, then"-excit-
edIy-"can you tell us what became Of
Stacey Wallen, who was the first mate
on her?
Wallen laughed little Historically.
Il am Stacey Wallen," he said.
There was cry of amazed excite
ment from the girl. Mott, gazing in
utter surprise at Wallen, tilted the
vizor of his cap back and mopped me-
chanically at his forehead with a
handkerchief
Wallen's laugh died away, and he
looked from one to the other anx-
iously.
II don't understand, of course"
he said. But the point is, do you
think your skipper will give me pas
sage? II didn't save anything from
the Upolo, and was figuring on offer

inquired Mott with apparent irrele-

'Yes," said Wallen eagerly. "Yes;
but the skipper"
"Oh, l gueses that'll be all right !"
said Mott Queerly. "As near as l can
figure it you're the one on earth the
skipper wants to see."

somehow he didn't like the mans face.

"Yes," her companion answered,
looking curiously at Wallen.

make out what he wanted. He was
going toward the town, but turned and

on ahead. You needn't worry about

got up, went over TO the wash basin
and plunged in his head
How had Helen MacKay-she had
told him her name on the way down
to Pob-c0me to be not only on
tramp like the Mouleigh but to be
here ut all? He hadn't seen any
other women on board; but then-he

thing.
Helen MacKay had slde-tracked
even that thin-faced, queereyed skip
per and insisted that he should 80 i'm
mediately TO bed.
Wallen's thoughts began to run riot
as he completed his toilet. The ship,
and everyone connected with it whom
he had seen-eXcept Helen Mackay-
had somehow got him wrong. He
hadn't liked that fellow Motifs face
from the instant he had set eyes on
1t in the forest. And his mOmentary
interview with the skipper, despite
the same effusive attentions, had pro-
duced the same intuitive distrust.
They were still at anchor off the

by the name of Pobi. What, after all,
did 1t mean?
What was the Monleigh doing at

In him that would account for the sec

the words unbidden came flashing

Wallen whistled In a low, pcrturbed
way under his breath. Could there
be any connection? 1t seemed abb

coincidence.
IT'S a bit queer when you come to

to say"
He opened the door of his cabin and
stepped out into what was evidently
the vessels main saloon, down whose
length ran long mess table with five
revolving chairs on either side.
There was no one in sight. Wallen
crossed the saloon to the doorway
and paused to get his bearings. Di-
rectly in front of him a short COM
panionway led upward. He mounted
this and found himself in a small box
like smoking or lounging room. Here
doors on either side gave onto boat
deck that was fairly spacious for the
size of the ship.
He stepped out onto the deck-and
again paused to survey his sur
roundings Forward from the smok

evidently of temporary construction
his eyes rested on it speculatively for
an instant, then he glanced quickly

These sons of Tech-and some
who'll ne'er return
The while we scan our dawn of his

When patriot hearts, in valor strong
and stern,
United wrote the doom of Tyranny.
The Constitution of the brave made

Salute the flag that blest our pa

Vow new allegiance to our country.s

And hail in solemn pride Old Glorv.s

Eli N. Hershey, of the Hershey
Creamery Company, told the men,
bers of the Harrisburg Rotary Club
last evening at the meeting In the
Y. M. c. A, that his company has
harked on the manufacture of
chocolate bars. At present the conf
pany is manufacturing only in ten
pound bars for the wholesale trade,
but as soon as machinery can be pro-
Ccured chocolate will be turned out
by the Hershey Company for the
retail trade. Mr.. Hershey distribut-
ed samples of his confection last
evening and the Rotarians were un-
anlmous in pronouncing 1t the best
ever. The club members were Mr..
Hershey's guests and enjoyed ice
cream and what tasted very much
IKE fresh strawberries put up by
the creamery company. S. S.
rutherford catered.
IL was quite a Hershey evening,
the ex-president of the club being
chairman OF the committee on the
philosophy of Rotary, and having as
his assistants E. S. Herman, William
;. Essick, w. M. McCord and S. S.
Rutherford, put on a little program
or Rotary instruction that was very
pleasing to the members of the club
and educational to the new members.
Mr.. Hershey, Mr.. Essick and Mr..
Herman We're the speakers.
Captain George f. Lumb, head of
the State Police, threw a scare into
the club when he threatened to re-
sign because John Olmsted had al
legged that he, as head of the State
Police, had been heard talking poll
tics" and as the Captain is one of
the most popular members of the
organization the Rotarians were all
"het up" over the incident until it
was discovered that the date the
resignation was to take effect was
not October 1, 1919, but October 1,
1899. 1t was sidetracked midst the
laughter of the club members.

pretty again. like other little girls"
The Next Trip
Mrs. Jennings, Miss Ringland and
Miss Kelker will make another trip
to Philadelphia on Friday of the
present week. taking with them the
lame lad of Elizabethville and those
others enumerated at the beginning
of this article.
Hilda a Lovablc Child
Meantime. life is being frightened
for the little lady of Small Valley
who wants to be able to walk and
go to school. The other day Mrs.
Jennings took to her home a black
board, a desk, a set of block letters
and n series of puzzle pictures. Now
Hilda, for that is her first name, is
| able to tell all her letters and to
write her name. Hilda has an ex-
ceptionally bright mind. She can do
fancy work and embroidery, and she
draws all of her own designs, which
are of unusual merit. Now,
through the kindness of Miss Kol-
ker, she is learning beadwork and
greatly pleased with her progress.
Hers is lovable disposition and the
Red Cross workers are very fond
of her.
Others whom Mrs. Jennings and
her assistants have helped are n
| e-year-old lad of Williamstown, an
orphan victim of infantile paraly-
sis, who has received braces for his
legs and spine. and alcohol for rub
bing and milk daily out of the funds
of the Red Cross; a 9-year-old girl
of Williamstown. orphaned by the
influenza, furnished with glasses and
throat operation performed; helpless

Young Girl Saved
But even more interesting is the
case of Miss Blank. a Harrisburg
girl, deserted by her guardians. dis
couraged and headed for the street,
way of making q great success.
The Red Cross took her in, her
only support being soldier then
in the service of his country and
not yet discharged. and made her a
clerk in the offices. A prominent
Red Cross woman saw possibilities In
her and provided for her education
In college. That was more than a
year ago. Last spring she finished
her freshman year second in her
class, and is out for first place this
year. The Red Cross is her new
guardian and the three women who
placed her in the way of getting an
education she writes to as her three
mothers"
Don't you think this kind of
work we'll worth doing?" asked Mrs.
Jennings, in relating the incident.
Don't you think the public will
support 1t? We are happy to be the
pioneers in this branch OF Red Cross
activity. We hope that other chap
ters will follow and that funds will
be provided so that we may enlarge
our work"
