My great-uncle paced the deck with
measured strides throughout the aft

came he supervised the ho!sting Of
two lanthorns, red and green, one
above the other, to the main truck !;
and he ate very little OF the excellent
meal which Silver cooked in the galley
and Darby served us in the cabin.
Peter was almost himself again, al
though he dared eat but little and suf-
fered qualms when the brig rolled
much from the perpendicular. He was
asleep as soon as he lay down, but
/ drowsed lightly for some hours, and
all that time 1 could hear overhead
the tap-tap-tap of footballs in even
cadence as my great-uncle strobe

MoUing Continents

The idea that the continents OF the
world are moving is embodied in the
"Wegener hypothesis" suggested by
Prof. Alfred Wegener of Austria In
his book. "The Origin of Continents
and Oceans" published in 1912. This
theory Is that the continents Of the
world are drifting, the rate Of move
ment being necessarily very slow, and
during recent conferences Of scientists
It was decided that certain tests, In
yolving radio, were to be made during
the winter Of 1926-1927.

Days of Youth

"We are young only once" you often
hear some person remark as an ex-
cuse for hitting the pace"
True, we can be young but once, and
the pleasures of youth must be crowded
into that space of time.
But how long are we young? Some
men are old at forty, while others are
still young at sixty. 1t depends upon
the pace they hit and the manner IN
which they hit it.
We can crowd a lot of work and
pleasure into youth If we keep our
hearts and our minds and our bodies
clean. We can reduce the amount of
both and shorten our youth by resort
ing to reckless ssipation.-New-
castle Courier.

the horror of a long-drawn-out feud
and rivalry.

cabin companlonway, lurched for a
moment, on his feet and then stag
gered precariously toward the bull
warks. l started for'ard to aid him,
and Bones ran aft with a loud yell.
/ Don't We spoil my decks, ye fat
coww he shouted.
Poor Peter, regardless of both of us,
seized stay and clung to it abjectly,
quite helpless. Bones reached him
first and gave him shove which sent
him plunging into the scuppers head

him vicious kick with heavy sea-

The story opens In New York,
about the middle of the Eight
zenith century. Robert Ormerod,

Irish bonded boy, brings news
that a pirate ship is "off the
Hook" An old sea captain an
nouncSs he has been chased by
the notorious pirate, Captain
Rip-Rap. The older Ormerod
tells Robert the pirate is Andrew
Murray, his (Robert's) great
uncle, commanding the pirate
ship, the Royal James. Murray
is an ardent Jacobite. Next day
Robert and Darby encounter
one-legged sailor, John Silver.
Robert meets a young woman
from a Spanish frigate who is
seeking her father, Colonel
O'Donnell Murray with a force

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
ny GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Investors Position In Life

Two points about the investor on
which full information must he had be
fore an investment list can be drawn
up for him have already been dis
cussed. These two have to do. with
his total capital and with his &C.
quaintance with financial affairs. The
third consideration. which is more or
less connected with the second, is his
position in life.
Take, for instance. the fundamental
of age. 4 young man just beginning
his business career needs a different
investment program from one who has
retired and must hereafter live on the
income from his savings of earlier
days. A man in the prime of life has
different requirements from either of
the other two. and, carrying the dis
tinction still farther. it is important
to know the field OF his activity.
Professional man. a doctor or law
yer, whose capital is his experience,
bis training, his skill. should select his
investments differently from a mer-
chant. The latter often has unexpect.
ed demands upon his resources and
reeds investments which as occasion
arises can be converted into cash on
short notice or which may be used as
collateral for loan at the bank.
\ leld Is NOT SO important 10 MN as
marketability. while the reverse is
true Of the doctor or the LAWYER
Finally we come 10 the case of the
widow. whose needs. together with
those of the orphan. are the classic
problem to the solution OF which vol
umes of investment literature have
been devoted. But even here individ-
ual cases differ so widely as to demand
widely varying treatment. II. as COM
monty assumed, widow is an in
vestor with no knowledge of securities.
no experience in business and totally
dependent on the income from a COM
paratively small amount for her living.
the investment prescription Is pretty
definitely marked out
1t is still necessary. however to ask
whether she has children To support
or whether she is alone in the world
Sometimes her best course is to buy
an annuity from a life insurance com
pany What ] wish to emphasize
again is that intelligent advice is i'm
possible without taking into account
all the circumstances of each particu-
lar case.
