Ben‘s favorite subject was the misâ€" deeds of the crew, and the steps which a kind but firm mate had to take to rontrol them, and he left it unwillingâ€" ly to discuss Fraser‘s marriage, of which faint rumors l.ac. reached his sars. _ It was evident that he knew nothing of the particulars, and Flowâ€" ar with some carefulness proceeded to put leading questions. e e stood for some time looking down on the quay and the shadowy shapes of one or two small craft lyâ€" ing in the river. The Foam was in her old berth, and a patch of light aft showed that the cabin was occupied. He walked down to her, stepping noiselessly aboard, peered through the open skylight at Ben, as he sat putâ€" ting a fresh â€"patch in a pair of trousers. _ It struck him that the old man might know somethirg of the events which had led up to Fraser‘s surprising marriage, and, his curiosity being somewhat keen on the point, he descended to glean particulars. . . t Supper finished, he sat silently thinking of Poppy, not quite free from the fear that she might have followed him to New Zealand by another boat. The idea made him nervous, and the suspense became unendurable. _ He took ug his cap and strolled out into the stillness of the eveninf. Seabridge seemed strange to him after his long absence, and, under present conditions, melancholy. There was hardl’y a soul to be seen, but a murmur of voices came through the open window of the "Thorn," and a clumsy cart jolted and creaked its way up the darkening road. Flower thanked him warmly, lnd.l Mrs. Barber returning, he noticed with some surprise the evident happiness of the coque for whose mrriaie he was primarily responsible. He had to go over his adventures again and again, Captain Barber causing much inconâ€" venience and delay at supperâ€"time by using the beerâ€"jug to represent the Golden Cloud and a dish of hot sausâ€" ages the unknown craft which sank her. _ Flower was uncertain which to. admire most; the tactful way in which Mrs. Barber rescued the sausages or“ the readiness with which his uncle pushed a plate over a fresh stain on the tablecloth. | "I see you was," said his uncle, amiably, "but your aunt‘s a wonderâ€" ful woman. She‘s got a business ‘ead, and we‘re doing well. I‘m buying another schooner, and you can ‘ave her ;; have the Foam back, which you e," \ _"So you did," said Flower, heartily. "I didn‘t mean to speak like that, but I‘m tired and worried." "You‘re not yourself, Fred," he said, slowly; "your misfortunes ‘ave shook you up. _ You‘ve got one aunt and one uncle what brought you up and did the b;e;t. for you ever since you was so "- #» "How many aunts have I got?" deâ€" manded Flower, with sudden irritation. The old man raised his eyebrows and stared at him in offended amazement. "I‘m on the lookâ€"out for you," he said, kindly; "there‘s a niece o0‘ your aunt‘s. I ain‘t seen her Ket; but your aunt praises of her, so she‘s all right. I‘ll tell your aunt to ask ‘er over.

And then you realize that odd moâ€" ments have a certain value of their own, and that some of them may be "wasted" with distinct advantage. You would like to be a different perâ€" son altogether, so you run round the block thrice every morning. In due course, if you continue to adopt your friends‘ sylendid suggestions, you find yourself crowded with so many odd moments that you have no time to think. = "Now, if only you would take a short run before breakfast," our next friend tells us, "you would be a differâ€" ent person altogether!" Then the cold bath is suggested. You simply must try it! It makes life worth while. As anything that makes life worth while must certainly be worth while, you adopt the cold bathâ€"and use up another ten minutes. For instance, you are told to do breathing exercises every morning. Only ten minutes a day. What‘s that ? You breathe obediently, rising ten minutes earlier for the purpose. With Too Many Rules Life Becomes Somewhat Burdensome. Life is largely made up of odd moâ€" ments, and perhaps this explains why some people are for ever telling you to utilize your odd moments in a thouâ€" sand different ways. i "I ran to him," said the chaplain, describing what happened, "but one ‘glance told me he was gone.

The battalion came out utterly exhausted, but with the spirit of conquerors. For our dead we mourn, but, at the sam&time,‘ shall always remember with pride and joy their measureless faithfuiness.

Every local freight train on the ;N.T.R. is carrying east in carload lots spars and other special timbers needâ€" ed in the construction of wooden ships, an industry which is experiencing a great revival at various points in the Maritime Provinces, says the Times of Moncton, N.B. Some of the shipments consist of heavy timbers to be used for masts and spars of wooden vesâ€" sels. There is also considerable shipâ€" ment of planking and wooden ribs for the vessels. The most curious part of the shipments, however, are the wooden "knees" which are really the crooked roots of trees, sawed into sizes suitable to shiubuilding purâ€" poses. These "knees" can be made from ordinary timber, but builders prefer the natural bend of the roots, which are very fibrous and~ tough. Quite an important part of present day lumbering operations is the dig-l ging up and cutting out of crooked roots suitable for this purpose.
