Mary sstood at the rail, bright eyed and rosy. her hair flying and her lips parted, thrilled with the sense of progress, but infinitely more thrilled with the knowledge of having done the forbidden, the unpardonable. Jake watched her until evening fell. He had little doubt but that his obliging her in this dereiction of duty would in- fuence her answer when she gave 1t to him.
 Just about the time when Ike went to call the skipper to dress for supper, the ship had swept we'll inside the line of reef dangers dot ting the chart of the Straits. No light winked friendly warning. Stevens had taken good bearing before dark, and as long as the breeze held true and fair he had no fears. But the breeze drew ahead, fell light, then died. And the ripple of the tide was sharp and disquieting. Jake heard Ike call the skipper; heard him answer some question which he did not hear. Mary started sharply when the sails Tapped. She tried to pierce the darkness with her keen eyes, but everything looked dark except for a queer, darker loom that seemed to grow up out of white fringe. Then Drake rushed out fo the compahionway, staring around in alarm. He ran aft, seeking the watch officer. And as he collided with Jake Stevens boiling over with angry vitupera- ton, the big ship shuddered from dogvanes to keel, scraped over a hidden reef, heeled over as another obstruction rose at her bilge, and staggered to a Standstill.
 Where have you put the ship?' shouted Drake. thrusting his face close to the mates.
 Ask" Jake began to reply angrily. Mary's sharp cry seemed tt cut off his words. Instead of finish. ing, telling the truth shamefully, he laughed savagely in the skipper: white face.
 "Go to he'll" he snarled. Mary put her hands to her ears, ant shrank as far into the black shad ows of the deckhouse as she could The very air seemed to droop low full of evil. She could see the blacl shapes of three men by the wheel The helmsman stood stolidly at thu spokes, wanting orders before h' would quit the futile post.

A Wife's Confessional
 New Phass REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

"They weren't very heavy, Auntle Madge" she protested" Honestly. they weren't"
 Heavy enough 10 iniure your back, child" l returned bit short ly. Your mother would never for give me if let you carry them"
 But mayn't help?" she plead ed.
 "Of course" I picked up both suitcases and estimated their weight. One, that of the strange waf, was much lighter than Lillian's, and l handed 1t 10 Marion.
 You may take that one," l said. and we'll go slowly"
 And I'm going to carry a suit case for my mama, too," Junior in- terpolated with an engagingly hope Gul look at me.
 "Of course, you are, sweetheart" l said smiling down at his eager little face. Just come on the other side of this - so = and put your fingers upon the handle with mine. l There. Now hold tight, and you'll be helping Mother lots. But if you let go you'll be hindering her"
 "Ill hold on terrible tight" my little lad promised, and l knew that he was as safely anchored to my side as if I had hold of his hand. The assurance compensated me for the awkwardness of the posture l was compelled to adopt, but l was glad, indeed, when We reached the car, and l deposited the suitcases in the luggage van.
 "Quick Work, Madge!"
 Quick work, Madge," Lillian ap- proved. But now here's another problem. I'm afraid I'm going to need the whole of this space back | here"
 T don't know why you should use the word 'afraid," L interrupt ed, lifting Junior into the front seat and getting in myself. You know perfectly well that l can drive with both Marion and Junior in front with me-
 T know it, for short distances yes" she returned, but this is a long journey"
 If I get cramped I'll stop the car and we'll get out and stretch, '' I promised gaily. Hop in, Marion We must get away, for we must travel ninety miles today" r Marion giggled as she obeyed me and l heard a quiet chuckle from her mother.
 "As a paraphraser, Madge, you're a good ironer," she commented dry ly. But I'll forgive you everything if you'll get some speed out of this boat"
 I comprehended the anxiety be- meath the banter and spoke earn estly as I turned my switch-key.
 I'll do my very best" l prom ised as the motor caught.

Children, especially, are too apt to satisfy the bangs of hunger by sweets. They have learned that they get satisfaction from it, but they do not appreciate the danger.
 Sweets are a good food in their place, but they should be in cooked foods or at the end of the meal.
 Overcome the candy habit in chill dren if you would have them strong and healthy and able to resist dis ease.
 Too much candy robs the cheeks of their roses-fruit helps to keep them, or to bring them back when they have been lost.

Why Lillian Is Anxious to Make All
 Specd Home,

That Lillian was startled at the sudden breaking into speech of her silent charge, l knew as we'll as l did that she was apprehensive lest the girls apparent fright might hamper us in getting her into the automobile. But no slightest change Of intonation or feature betrayed her emotion. In carefully modu- lated soothing tones she spoke to the girl.
 T know 1t isn't his car. But it Is one which will take us where We want to so. and 1t is very comfort able. Just sit down in the seat here - quick - Madge! that's right"
 I had seen, as she had, the sud- den dropping of the head and the slumping of the figure, as the tem- porary animation died, and had frightened my hold upon the girls swaying body. It was an almost un- conscious woman whom we lifted into the tonneau seat. was thank ful, indeed, that at the moment the sidewalk in our vicinity was desert ed, save for two hurrying men, so intent upon some errand of their own that they had no eyes for any thing else.
 Lillian settled herself beside the girl and put both arms around her, bringing the pathetic face down, where she could inspect it.
 "She Hasn't Painted"
 ''No, she hasn't fainted," she said after 8 second or two, "but she came much nearer it than I liked, I'm perfectly willing to tell you. l think the rush of the crisp air will revive her when we get started. You can go back after the suit cases now. She isn't going to swoon now. I'm sure. Don't try to bring them both at once"
 I smiled to myself as I hurried back to the platform where I had left Junior and Marion. It is not very often that the charge of fussi- ness can be laid at Lillian's door and I am always amused. when she yields to the clucking instinct which so many women share with hens.
 I yielded to it myself, however when I reached the platform, and saw Lillian's young daughter com. ing toward me, staggering under the weight of the two suitcases. Junior on the far side of one of them clung manfully to the handle under the patent impression that he was lifting at least two-thirds of the load.
 Marion, put those down." called the moment I saw her. ant though she obeyed me instantly there was reluctance, almost re sentiment In her eyes as l reached her,

"Meanin' you won't!' Jake ! laughed harshly.
 Tt doesn't mean that at all," she returned. She was sincere in that.
 All right. But take this to bed with you: I'm a man. You cast me adrift for that cold-blooded, duty proud money bag Drake, and you'll see"
 But she wanted to hear no more. She fled below and left him to his thoughts.
 Once Mary awakened and saw the flash of Java Head still in the porthole glass. The next time she opened her eyes the sun poured through the skylights and she ran on deck in her wrapper to find the ship sailing smoothly through a gorgeous golden sea, with Kratatoa in sight to starboard.
 By nightfal again the Orontes had edged into Sunda Straits, but the wind died utterly with the sun- set. Drake was anxiously plotting the currents and drift. The days sailing had carried the ship over 1 towards the Sumatra side of the | Straits, the tide had set her in to- wards Sebesi Channel and the reefs off Vcrlaten Island. Never steady, the fitful air only baefled the skip per in his calculations. ! He grew nervous as the hours of evening passed with no breeze. There was the shoreward drift always 10 watch. He remained on deck as long as the calm lasted. And Mary stayed mp there with him. Towards midnight came a little wind, and there was promise of a clear, breezy dawn to follow.
 "Youll go through the Sebesi Channel. won't you, Alden?" Mary asked eagerly.
 No" he returned shortly. "Dan- gerous with such light air"
 "Oh, father went through score of times! Besides. it saves such a waste of time."
 "I shall stand back towards Great Channel on the next tack and pass through in daylight" he said, and encouraged her, to ask nc more.
 Mary bit her fingernails until the qucks hurt her.
 For two days more the shiI drifted about the Straits entrance beset by tides, baffled by light airs that always blew ahead, stalled completely by spells of stark calm
 After almost fifty hours of sleep less watchfulness, Drake fell into heavy sleep when the ship was again becalmed within a few mile: of Verlaten. The three mates were on deck, hopefully getting the shiI ready for port, although that por' was still hundred miles away. An other blazing day was dying.

 A newborn puppy or new matched chicken are much nicer to look at.
 I wish, however, you could see little Jack holding that bundle of lace and flannel which encases his Buddy" It would prove thrill 10 you. Already Leslie is making Jack understand that his responsibility for his little brother is limitless.
 Zoe Ellington is growing very beautiful. In many ways she re- minds me of Harry. She makes friends just as easily and throws them off as quickly as she finds one she likes better. Up to date she has only shown this characteristic in regard to the young men who hover about her. She is perfect little firt. am afraid that Leslie will not keep her long as already a number of the young men about the hotel are her devoted slaves and shower on her a great deal of at tention.
 That this attention should be of the right kind, I have taken Ser to some of the tea and dinner dances, and explained 10 some of the older women that Zoe is a kind of rela- tion of mine. I have said that as she wanted to be independent after her magnificent education abroad, l had placed her with Leslie as half governess to her children and half companion to herself.
 This, of course, makes her place with Leslie a kind of family af- fair, and sets her right with all the 1 snobs.
