A TROUSSEAU FUND,

A "trousseau fund" in place of
hope chest is the proper equipment
of the modern girl. Fashions in
linens as well as clothes change so
quickly that storing away money,
which increases itself by adding in
terest instead of accumulating a
questionable output. is real pre-
paredness for the up-to-date bride.
Thrift and War Savings stamps
offer an ideal method for acquiring
a "trousseau fund" Thrift stamps
cost a quarter each and sixteen of
them. plus a few cents. are ex-
eHchangeable for a War Savings
stamp, paying over per cent in
terest.
Nothing to show for it" is de-
scriptive of that great swamp
which absorbs thoughtlessly spent
pennies, nickels, dimes and quar-
ters. The swamp can be drained
and made into fertile land by
planting the pennies. nickels. dimes
and quarters in Thrift. and War
Savings stamps.
Treat your money as a friend.
By showing consideration Of its
value in carefully spending 1t and
avoiding all waste. some will stick
by you. to be invested in War Saw
ings stamps.

anew by the frightful threats OF the
muuneers here. She trusted to me for
the safety Of her father and herself
Her trust inspired me with new
energy. To save them I was now
ready to play any game whatever with
Stevens. who was the leader of the
mutineers. Our boatswain. who had
not wished to join them, but to save
his life had done so. was on my side.
II was he who told me that Stevens
was intending to scuttle the ship be-
fore they took to the boats, and so
leave me and the passengers to our
fate.
We planned to Illustrate him. BY this
time we had taken Miss Robertson in
to our confidence. One night the boat

was the night before that day when
Stevens went below and gored the
auEer holes which were to do for the
ship: but as fast as Stevens bored a
hole. the boatswain. who had been
hiding below for that very thing, fol-
owed and plugged IL up.
Thinking he had sCUttled the ship
Stevens came on deck and led the
rev to the GOATS, grinning evilIy at
Hiss Robertson and myself as he did
so. They had not rowed far from
the ship when the boatswain showed
himself on deck.
Stevens saw him. We've been
tricked." he cried, and headed back
for the ship. The wind was rising at
the time. but there was not enough
way yet on the ship to outrun the
boats. They tried to board US by the
main chains. As they did, the boat
swain with a handspike and with a
revolver killed or hurled back into the
sea all but one of them. That one
was not so bad as the others, and we
saved him to help work on the ship.

ship should not be caught aback and
the spars come down on US.
We had now to work the ship to
the nearest land; but the increasing
wind made it dangerous. with our

worked like dogs to reduce sail, but
the wind became too much for US. 1t
came on US like a solid wall: the seas
rolled to our tops. Spars cracked and
hung down over our decks. Only after
the most exhausting toll did we man
age to clear away the most dangerous
of the broken spars. In the height of
