Island, remained in the great stee

to guess.

charge of the raising of the craft.
Referring to divers observations
during the salvaging. Lieut.. Com
msnder Ellsberg said:
"The position Of the men. many Of
whom were found with their hands
on valves. indicates that to the last
moment they stuck to their posts.
They were trying apparently TO
avoid collision. The submarine sank
last September after being rammed
by the steamship City of Romeo.
The periscope was turned aft which
suggests that they were watching
the steamship"
All the water was pumped from the
drydock in which the maugled under
sea boat lies. this morning. News

water slowly revealed the discolored
and seaweed mantled hulk with the

What Changed Him?

Poor Florence" sighed one OF her
friends. 1T Is too dreadful that she
should be engaged to man VINO
treats her the way Pete does. she s
miserable most of the time, and yet
she loves him too much to break
off the engagement"
But what's the matter with Peter
asked another friend. interestedly..
"Oh, there's nothing actually
wrong with him. It's just the way
he treats F'lo--so embarrassing for
tradicts every word she utters. she
can't open her mouth without his
barking a denial of whatever she
said If she ventures an opinion he
either openly ridicules 1t, or just sits
there with a sneer on his face. NO
girl can stand that humiliation for
ever, you know What will he be
like after marriage, If he has so little
respect for her ideas now?"
Everything the speaker said is
true. Pete's rudeness to his lady
fair is noticeable to every one.
Yet-just four months ago, II peo'
pie only remembered 1t, things were
quite different. Pete was the model
fiance. the tender, adoring' good
natured, long suffering suitor.
And Florence-but doesn't any.
body remember the way Florence
used to act?
Girls can get away with more rudes
ness than boys anyway. SO perhaps
that's why her conduct didn't arouse
so much comment
There was an evening when Pete
tried every means possible to make
Flo be civil to him. Time and time
again he accepted her snubs. her
sneers, good -naturedly. Continually,
as she met his statements with open
contradiction, he backed down with
good d-natured: We'll, maybe I'm
wrong.
Flo hardly noticed it. A self-cen-
tered. SNUG young person, she olon |
realize lust how openly insufferable
she was being tU her sweetheart
and, as 1 say. girls being what they
are. other people weren't so quick
to resent her treatment OF her
suitor.
Pete stood that open ridicule. that
cutting Indifference, for three months,
and then the worm turned.
People began to ask themselves
what was the matter with Flo,s
fiance, and the young lady herse1
was scared to death.
She thought she'd become engaged
to a quiet, easy -SOliiS EOuIh. AoA'N
found she was tied up to a decided
young man. who spoke to her shortly
and cuttingly when he didn't agree
with what she said.
Funny thing is-that Pete himself
isn't aware of the change that has
come about. He is not doing this
thing deliberately. Only Flo's con-
tinual rebuffs have awakened some
thing in him that isn't very pleas
ant-he's cultivating an ugly, short
temper and Flo herself worked the
change.
The point is this: That if we are
not careful of our own behavior
toward the boy friend we may bring
out in him certain qualities which
we'll wish we'd never discovered.
Decent treatment-the sort of
treatment any man has right to
expect from the girl who loves him
will work wonders on the average
man.
Rude, hostile attitude will work
another kind of wonder on him and
it will bring no pleasure to the won
der worker.
