The trip on the Staten Island ferryboat where men are men and ferry boats merely transportation problems is long and Interesting. So interesting that the captain who was still young and susceptible paid more attention to two pretty girls walking along the saloon deck than he did, to the steering of the boat. He unconsciously steered the vessel toward the shore. Along the shore, or rather some little distance out, the government authorities have placed nice large white buoys. Thes* buoys mark the line In side which is safe anchorage. That Is, U is safe if there is go ferryboat yith a susceptible captain steering. , Down in th« Cabin. The boat drew nearer and nearer (o the line of buoys and finally hit one of them a glancing blow sufficiently hard to knock the buoy on Its side. Now It is necessary to go below to the cabin. The passenger Ust was small. It consisted of one man. who was dejectedly seated on the side of the boat nearest to the shore. This passenger had been celebrating something or other. He Imagined he was at sea. He lurched every now and then as the boat rolled and every once In a while he picked himself off the floor and replaced himself on the seat. He muttered to himself continuously, "Dirty w.eather," or "It's a wild night at sea." t He had Just picked himself up for the sixth time when the ^ferryboat, unknown to the CHptain, hnd struck the buoy. As the boat veered off. the buoy, which was long and high, swung back and on the rehound smashed straight through the window of the ferryboat and then as rapidly heeled over the other way. The buoy was painted white and It selected the window under which the passenger was sitting for the one to be broken, and then to make the Job complete It tapped the passenger on the head and disappeared as quickly as It had arrived. The passenger saw nothing but a ghostly white -object hitting him when he was not expecting t and then going away before he thought of Its conduct. He was annoyed and not a little frightened. If the shattered glass hadn't been there as visibly evidence he would have concluded that it was all a dream. Resides, he had a bump on the side of the head and he went on deck to remonstrate gently with the captain or anyone else he could find. He found the mate. "What the h--1 do yoo mean," he said, "busting that window over my head and then hitting me without telling me first?" Mat* la Worried. The mate begati to get "worried. He didn't know anything about the huoy and he didn't know how to handle a case of delirium tremens. He did the best he could. He persuaded the passenger to show him where the window had been broi They went below. "Why." he said, "you're liable to «et Into trouble for that. If anyone finds out that you hr^ke that window you'll have to paj for if und maybe go to Jail for causing wilful damage." "But." protested the passenger. "1 didn't break the window. Some one brake h from the outside and hit me •»ver the head." ,"They couldn't hreuk It from the ••uside." replied the mate, "there is no deck outside lie window. You go to s'eep again and cet off the boat when she docks before the captain tlnds about this." , The passenger looked out of the window and sure eiiotlgh there was no deck. He seemed mystified. Then he walked over the other side of the boat, sat down nnd as he felt asleep again he murmured "Then <t was a ghost. I thought it was at first out what did he want to tyt njjp for He ain't a friend of mine." ; IhEOVIJ,' or IeOutdoors CLEAN CAMPS LIKE CLEAN KITCHENS Betty and. her mother were again discussing the annual camping trip for which Daddy and Little Bill had been planning the past two months. Betty, being but ten, was not sapposed to know anything about camp hardships, according to Bill's ideas. Hadn't he been out two years, aqd wasn't he past sixteen? / *• Mother knew what a time Betty would have if she eanld not go to look after her, because at home Bill seemed to get most of his amusement out of teasing Betty. But Betty was not to be left behind so easily. *Well, Mother, I am big enough to go," persisted Betty. "Why, don't I help you wash the dishes, and peel potatoes, and watch things on your stove so they don't burn? And 111 bet I could do that in camp, too. May be I could even help Daddy do the cooking." "But Betty, you surely would not leave your mother at home and go far away to an old camp in the woods with nothing but a tent to sleep in, and no stove over which to cook, and no nice clean kitchert," argued mother unavailingly. "Oh- Mother! You are old-fashion ed. Daddy said so!" retorted Betty. Why how did people live before they had cook stoves, and clean white kitchens, and nice soft beds, and all those things?" "YeS„ Betty dear, they lived without those comforts, but folks enjoy life more with them; and mother does not want her baby girl to go so far away," argued mother. "Please, Mother, we will be gone only two weeks," continued Betty, "and don't you remember those signs we saw up there last summer near where Daddy and Bill will camp? They said 'CLEAN UP GROUNDS. BURN ALL RUBBISH', an' they were put up by the Izaak Walton League. "I'll bet the kitchen in Daddy's camp will be almost as clean as ours here. Mother. And I would like to sleep in a tent, and help cook breakfast over a fire, like the Indians used to do. Please, Mother, it would be so different. May I go?" Betty's argument about the possibility of having a clean kitchen even in a camp, and the desire to enjoy something different from the luxuries of home, was sufficient to break down mother's resistance. She decided to accept that oft-repeated invitation of her husband, and go camping with the family, even though she might have to rough it, and sleep between blankets instead of crisp white sheets. Imagine Daddy's surprise that night when Betty rushed to meet him half a block away and announced that "the girls of the family" had decided to join the. camping party "But, Daddy," she warned, "remember that the kitchen at the camp must ^be kept clean, or mother won't stay.
