Lad Rescued

Rescue of five-year-old Francis Arena from the bottom of a To- foot well in the rear of his home on Normand street last Thursday came to light yesterday. The boy was pulled from the well by Al Bellino, of 27 Normand street, and Anthony Migalti, of $40 Wilson street.

THE future Of navigation on tie
Pacific rested with young Capt
James Cook, just turned 80, as he
sailed in command of an cXplora'
tory expedition to that vast ocea!
Aug. &c, 1868. No man had darcc
ever TO chart that illimitab.s
space.
Doubling Cape Horn, Captain
Cook reached Tahiti the following
April; plowed on to New Zealand
There he charted the rough coas'
and moved on next to chart Aus
tralia's rugged shore. The en-
tire separation Of Australia fror
New Guinea was asccrtained. Blu;
before that trip was ended nearly
three years later half of Cook:
crew had died.
Nevertheless Cook led secont
expedition to the Pacific again ir
l772, this time to discover the
imaginary "rerra Australis In
cognita." He explored instead the
Antarctic from New Zealand tc
Cape Horn. AS reward for this
signal achievement he was APP
pointed 10 command another OK
petition to search for passage
around North America from the
Pacific.
But this task was to prove
Cooks u4timcly end. After max
ing important. surveys along the
Bering Sea coast he returned &c
winter in the Sandwich Islands.
Here he was murdered on Feb. IA.
l779, by warning natives. Often
honored today, Captain Cook is

ing the precautiOn of finding out
something about you, do YOU
That, Constance realized, feel
ing little foolish, was exactly
what she had supposed.
"And just what" she demanded,
did Miss O'Dare tell you?"
Not all she knew, suppose.
Only that when you walked
into Daimler'S that day, you had
no more idea of modelling in a
fashion show than-well, than |
had. But that you slipped into
the situation with such engaging
impudence and such amazing
poise that she couldn't result hir-
ing you on the spot. And he
added thoughtfully, that she,
personally, likes and respects
you"
And that. Constance felt sure,
was all Elsa had told him.
"And now"-his friendliness
suddenly merged into briskly
professional manncr--"l think
you'd better get to bed as soon
as the stewardcss can get your
berth ready. III call her and
Bed" Constance said blankly.
But never go to bed so early.
Oh, You needn't take the trou-

amusement as his hand moved in
what she had come TO know as an
habitual gesture. Il have a watch

She found herself dispropor-
tionatcly annoyed by his brisk
shift from friendhneSs to this lm-
personal matter-of-factncss. .,
Though you may not guess It,
she went on pervcrsely, i've
really been out of boarding school,
for some time"
For a moment he examined her
with that curious, tolerantly
amused look she had come to rec
ocnizc. AS if, Constance
thought with growing resentment,
he were trying to decide Just
what kind of unpredictable bug l
might turn out to be.
Finally he said-obviously try,
ing to be patieut--"Perhaps Il
better remind you that you may
have a hard day ahead Of you,
You'll need all the rest you can
get"
"Plcasc don't worry about me-

funny when people refuse to take
us as seriously as we do ourselves
is it?
She took d great deal of salts,
faction out of sitting M. a Eoou
hour after her usual bedtime.
Struggled into her amazingly
comfortable berth, Constance be-
gan to realize for the first time
in that dream-like evening, exact
" what was happening to her.
Once in California. it was M
conceivable that she should S5 not not

Derek, all the doubts and petty
fears of the past few weeks would
drop away like mist. She would
lose that feeling which had begun
zone away into another and diff
ferent world, and by that very
act, had become different, him
self; so that he no longer even
spoke a language she understood.
She fell asleep dramatizing those
