thar peakln o the bar when come by the bell ofi thar wasnt rmgin an it wasnt cause the set was quiet not by conslderble how dye count forit pete somplns the m otter 1 with the ton gue ont i guess replied the fish erman the bell was swingln like good one i had a good notion to pull over thar an see what the trouble was but the tide was sett in out party strong to the easfard an the wind quarterin so 1 give up the idea it ouw be bad business if aessel was to try to put into the river an dependin on that bell buoy fetched up on the bar remarked barry i wish yed pulled over thar an seen what the trouble was barry shortly returned to his place of business and resumeav the packing of fish in barrels for shipment on the morning express he looked so sober that jim 8awyer his helper a youth of seventeen asked if condon had brought oad news the bell buoy is out o order down off the bar replied barry laconically dont it ring questioned jim a worried look coming into his eyes no pete ought to have pulled over thar and seen what the trouble- was at times pete dont have his wits with him night will be here inside o two hours an you know what a nasty sea thar is off thar ip a storm mr barry im going to pull down river and go outside declared jim untying his apron i guess maybe i can fix it so it will ring im ex pecting dads vessel almost any throe and if i wasnt some other vessel may be depeddtnc on that bells ringing its up to us to do what we can wall jim ye can go replied barry take my dory better take a ham mer long with ye an a bit o wire chances are thet the tongue has got rusted so thet it wont swing til look for ye back about dusk yell have the tide with ye goln and both tide an wind oomln tor its getting nigh the turn o the tide now jim picked up a hammer and three feet or more of haywire which was under the counter and taking his jacket with htm he hastened down to where barrys dory was pulled up on the sand whar ye headed for jim ques tioned ooddon who was busy clean ing hjs catch of flan doing outside to see if i can unkec up the bell buoy jo that it will ring replied jtno it wont do to have that silent with a storm coming on xeve got good courage jim de clared the fisherman i ought to have done it myself to tell the truth i didnt jest reanse how important thet bell is out thar jim shortly pushed off and setting to the oars headed downstream there was quite a strong wind even hem in the river but the numerous bends in the channel broke the force of it to a considerable extent and with a favorable tide jim rapidly nude his way down toward the outside shore when at last he passed through the mouth of the river however be found himself bucking a high sea and it took him more than half an hour to cover the scant half mile to the bell buoy which was securely moored just to the east of the bar the dory shipped quite a bit of water on the way but at last he reached the buoy and making his dory fast to it he boarded it his grasp there was a plenty of wire to give play to the hammer so grasp ing it flrtnly he began the doleful tol ling or the bell with the passing of the hours and no sign of jims return barry got anxious he hunted up condon and both of them pulled downriver as they neared the mouth of the river they heard thj distant tolling of the hes been there wttmsjed condon hoarsely but i guess lllqw cost him his ltfe wed have methim afore this- if hed got away all right thar was a tremendous sea sweepln rounat that buoy when i come in from the f ishin grounds for half an hour the two men bat tled with the sea in an endeavor to reach the vicinity of the buoy but af ter shipping much water they gave up the struggle and headed for the snore reaching the neck they putted up the dory and pushed along the outer shore on foot the while expecting that somewhere along the shore they would come upon k battered dory which canada the worlds greatest play ground wide variety of heereauonal attrac tions canadbuis fbrtanate in holiday advantages their coantry offers own would teu of one more tragedy of thh tjz f m that an mterprovlncial tour is a re- well its no wander tt dont ring ejaculated jim stooping to look up in to the bell the tongue fat gone its a case of rigging a new one i guess jim stepped back into the boat after his hammer and the wire and a mo ment later was at work for half an hour he experimented with the ham mer trying to hang it lh such a way that it would sound the bell it was all to no purpose however for al though it would strike occasionally the resulting v was so uncer tain and faint that it was practically worthless i guess its a case of pounding the old bell until daylight growled jim at length giving up trying to adjust the hammer i suppose mr barry will think ive taken a trip down to davy jones locker but theres no way out of it i stay here night was then close at hand and jim prepared to make himself as comfortable as possible under the cir cumstances luckily the wind though very boisterous was a warm one com paratively ipeaklrg so there was little likelihood of much discomfort from from cold- looking under the stem- seat of the dory jim fqwid an old oll- edsult and putting it on he was en abled to keep dry as a bone suppuur within the steel cage which enjoomd the bell jan now took his ont of his pocket and fast ening it securely to one of the steel bars uttpsj the wtnj he had nrouatik he eot ready for business be knew that it was highly imperative that it be secured lest during the night in a of ilnmiliwii tt sup when the two men returned p where the dory wa drawn ip on tne sand they looked seaward the while listening to the mournful tolling of the bell thars a vessel off ther pete i ex claimed barry suddenly shes head ed for the river youre right cried condon an to think thet thar wouldnt be no wamin hell but for poor jim i an i could have fixed it jest as well as not this afternoon only fhet i was thet indifferent i wouldnt pull out thar an now jims gone meanwhile jim bad noted the ap proach of the vessel and from time to time he struck the bell with his hammer the time came when be saw the vessel veer off to the eastward of the bar and then head straight fhr the mouth of the river guess the man at the wheel beard the old bell he chuckled shes beaded all right now maybe its dads vessel i hope so barry and condon paced the shore until dayttght the early dawn found them down near the mouth of the river slowly out of the mist emerged the dim shape of the bellbuoy barry made it out first petel barry stood staring seaward his hand outstretched he pointed and that one word escaped his ups lute condon stood rooted to the spot bis chin wabbling pete thars jim chocked barry hes been thar the hull night a- soundin thet bell thars my dory tied up to the buoy hes gettin ready to come in youre right lute said drawing a deep breath jest look yonder inside the mouth o the river said barry thars the liszie an george jims father caps thefs the schooner thet slipped in last night she wouldnt be thar but for jim thets the lissie an george an no mistake cried condon tell it to the hull town lute let em know how jhn done it tail em how i come by yesterday too laxy to pull out thar an see what the trouble was dbnt spar em a on m tell n if ye don meanwhile jim had made a safe getaway from the buoy and now was fast anprcaohlng the mouth of the river barry and condon seeing htm coming pushed oft us their dory and just within the mouth of the river they pulled along side jan we thought ye was lost ex claimed barry that was the only thing that wor ried me replied jim i knew i was safe out there got a bit seasick bobbing up and down but that was all jim thet was your fathers schoon er that come in said condon trying desperately to master his emotions thar she is at anchor jest round the bend mr barry i i want to keep this hammer said jim i ril buy you p new one no you wont son cried barry thet hammer belongs to ye by right after what ye did last night during the day a new tongue to the bell was put in place and many times thereafter did oapraln sawyer make harbor guided by its toning but newjr

europe that the supply of wheat is running russia has hardly any for export and it would appear to be shortsighted for that nation to be allowing any to leave the country france- germany and italy will have to import and so will greece that means that countries having wheat for sale will be in a position to enter a market which does not belong entire ly to the buyers there should be an opportunity for sellers of wheat to have something to say about the price several despatches from europe men tion attempts which have been made to arrange credits for the purchase of wheat it is doubtful whether thetc negotiations will get far any nation which is able to pay large bills each year for armaments is able to pay for these reports give rise to the claim that wheat is going to be

within a closed garage the other day however a toronto man was killed by these deadly fumes while stooping down behind his car to jack it up probably his face came directly in line with the exhaust pipe and the result was almost instantaneous dea this tragedy conveys a lesson to other motorists it is not an uncommon thing for a car driver to have to jack up the rear end of his car or to have to work around the wheels on the open road the lesson of this accid is always to turn off the engine before attempting any work of this kind carbon monoxide gas is swift and deadly in its operation and
