WOMAN EARNED HER LIBERTY
UnIooked-For Suffering Endured by Stowaway Who Was Making Her
 Way to Freedom

Gone was the Bosporus and in its place we saw the leaden waters of the Black sea. From the porthole of Josef's cabin we could distinguish many miles west of us the coast line of the country in which White had spent three years, according to Capt. Alan Bott's "Stowaways, Inc.," in Asia. FeodOr soon left us, for he had to bring other stowaways to the light of day. From every concealed cranny of the vessel men and women, almost as light-hearted as ourselves at deliver ance from the Turks, were coming into the open.
 One of the stowaways, a passport less woman whom the aged captain was taking with him to Odessa, did not rejoice for some time. As hiding place for her the old man had chosen a deep locker in his chartroom on the bridge. There she had remained for the last two days. Now, Rosa, the kitchen wench, knew nothing of the captains lady. That morning, not wishing to send her own particular stowaway-a Turkish deserter with coal-blackened face, untrimmed beard and decidedly odorous clothes-back to the bunkers, where he had spent the previous day, she thought of the locker as a temporary home. Dump ing him inside the locker, she fas- tened the lid and ran back to the kitchen. The Turkish deserter landed with some violence on the captains lady and both received a bad fright as they clutched at each other in the darkness. Yet the lid could not be re- moved from the inside and the wom- ans screams were unheard outside the little room. The air in the unventi- lated locker grew more and more stuffy. Finally the woman tainted. The Turk, tired after long spell of cramped wakefulness in the bunkers and the kitchen, composed himself philosophically and went to sleep.

AGED MAN CLAIMS RECORD
New Hampshire Nonooenarlan Still Able to Swing AK Both L-ustily
 and ExpertIy.

Friends of Frank Mozrall, ninety, of Franklin, N. H., claim that he is the champion woodchopper of his age in the New England states. Despite his near approach to the century mark he is able to swing an ax with the best of the choppers of the New Hampshire woods, those who know him best say.
 Mir. Mozrall was formerly a hotel man. Since his retirement Q favorite pastime of his has been to walk a dis tance of five miles from the home of his niece to a wood lot and there chop wood. It Is claimed that he cut almost five cords of wood in a week, which is considered a record for a man any where near MT. Mozralrs age.
 MT. Mozrall helped to build the first bridle path from the Profile to the summit of Mount Lafayette. and was one of the best-known guides in the mountains years ago. He has guided some of the best-known people of the country in their explorations of the White mountains, It Is only recently that he has come into fame as a wood chopper.
 MT. Mozrall's memory Is most excel lent and his general health Is excep- tionally good for man of his ad- vanced yeurs.-BOstOn Post.

LEAVE OUT "LOVE" ELEMENT
GaI:Iean Marriage Celebrated With out Bride or Bridegroom Having

Marriage in the ancient cities or Galilee has an element of surprise for beth bride and bridegroom; they are nos permitted to see each other until after the ceremony. In the Galllean wedding that Miss Genevieve CoWleS describes in Asia magazine the br'de was less than fifteen years old. The guests assembled with gracious and reserved Hebrew salutatiOns, leaving their shoes at the door and entering softly girl would pause gently ana make little reverence, then she would kiss lightly the tips of her fingers ana extend the palm of the hand to give the SOfteSt touch to one guest ana then to another and another, with par tcular deference to the old women. The men and boys gathered in the large room of the rabbi, the women and girls in the small room.
 A golden silence prevailed for long intervals while the guests smoked the nargiIe. or Turkish pipe. three or four of which sufficed for the company, since numerous mouthpieces enabled as many as five people to smoke at the same time from one nargile.

Have you nothing to do but to stand there and glare at me in that foolish. melodramatic way?" she cried, a shrill, metallic thread in her voice. Haven't you even yet learned that the only way to slow up the process of starvation in this miserable place Is not to go incoming around, gossip ing with your loutish neighbors over your own failures, but to work-to work, work, work, everlastfngly to work like a brute beast on an eternal treadmill-like do?'
 The man, too, had gone white. He tore open the door and, with all his might, threw the basket into the yard. It struck against the orchard wall, two rods away.
 "To hades with 1t To hades with the whole business! Failures? Yes all one rotten failure! Listen, you. I failed in the old life, the old business, because I was crazy enough to think a man could succeed and be decent at the same time. I've failed here trying to make hard work and determination serve the purpose of capital and the knOw-how-and with the handspring of the whole effort gone!"
 He paused for an instant. The wom- an stared from the window. He went on. And if failed, what about you? You're worse failure than I am. God Almighty doesn't make brokers and farmers men have to learn some times they can't. But he makes every woman potentially one thing-and you failed, you failed utterly, shame fully, at that thing"
 "What do you mean?" The woman was chalky to the lips; her head shook as with the palsy.
 You know well what I mean. I mean the boy. When he came you seemed to think you'd been picked out and set apart to be the mother of a god. You wanted the universe to be run just for him. You'd have put out the sun and let the world stumble in the dark, if you could, to keep it from shining in his eyes. You coddled him and squandered money on him and kept our nose to

Be fore the future bridegroom stood tall rabbi holding by one end ker- chief. The boy held the other end according to the form of the civil con- tract, and promised to be a faithful husband to the girl he had never seen.
 The rabbi then entered the room of the women, where Esther, the bride, stood waiting bashfully, her face cov- cred with a long veil, and gave her one end of the kerchief. She, as the boy had done, now held one end while the rabbi held the other. By accept ing the kerchief, she silently gave her consent to the civil contract that bound her to the man whom she had never seen.

Famous American Clipper Ships.

In the days of the famous clipper ships, the American vessel was sec ond to none, writes Frederick A. Col lins in Boys Life. No other country could build ships at once so stnunch and so speedy. Records were estnb- lished which have never been sur passed by sailing craft and, even with the use of steam. were not betteref for nearly half a century. Tn 1852 the Sovereign of the Seas sailed 436 miles in single day. The Lightning crossed the Atlantic in 13 days 20 hours. and the James Blaine of 2,5OO tons made the voyage from Boston to Liverpool in 12 days and 6 hours. Although America led the way with the first transatlantic steamship. she allowed the sovereignty of the seas to slip gradually from her At the beginning of the war most of her tonnage was af1oat on the great lakes or engaged lu coastwise traffic anG her deep-sea fleet was small.

Will We Forget.

The folly of not having an adequate merchant marine at the start of the war cost the United States 5000, 900, 900. We will not forget so expensive a lesson quickly. Now that we have the ships,
 we will keep the good ones, not sell them to other nations. With Jones Act en- forced, a privately owed merchant mar rine can and will flourish under the American flag. Our success in clipper days shows our people have the neces- sary aptitude. How long it will take us to develop an efficient privately owned merchant fleet depends largely upon how soon we get resolutely behind the new American shipping legislation.
