"Dip in," said the cook, and handed him a spoon and a tin dish. The carpenter clambered up to the dock. Murray followed him over to the cook. An appetizing odor rose from the mess in the spider. The eock, a lean young fellow of twenty, with clear, happy blue eyes, regarded the stranger with an invitation in those eyes. "Hungry*" he asked. Murray had just dined plentifully, but he simulated hunger. "That hash ready?" he called. "Al ready," the man with the spider in his hand replied. This man was a ship‘s carpenter, as the other had been, and he was not an especially clever ship‘s carpenter. He was putting a short timber forâ€" ward in the old boat. He had driven the long, black spikes through the front end, but now when he came to drive them into the other end that end would not fit. He was fussily and slowly chipping away the hard wood.

"I tell you he‘s been all over. You tell him some of your ‘speriences, Cap, after supper. Tell him about that filibusterin‘ ‘spedition. _ Some story that, believe me.

"You‘ve sailed salt water?" Murâ€" ray asked, when they had sat down. "Some," Carter answered. "Him?" the irrepressible Kid reâ€" But Kid Rollins was too drunk to let that go unchallenged, no matter what Carter might do. _ _ _ "Him?" he asked. "Why, he‘s been every place you can find in a geoâ€" graphy. He‘s had ‘speriences, that old boy."‘ Carter started, as if the apparently innocent question had something back of it. "Oh, I don‘t know," he mumbled. "West Indies, maybe?" "Oh, I don‘t know." "Or maybe you always sailed the lakes," Murray went on, keeping his voice casual. . |_ On the first floor of the sailors \hotel there was a dining room and in |front of that a barroom, and adjoinâ€" \ing the barroom a lounging room. In | the latter there was one long table and | two dozen dilapidated chairs, Kid | Rollins, the young man of the cheer{ | blue eye, sat in one of the chairs wit ‘his head on the table, fast asleep. Murray‘s liberality had known no ‘Hmit, and the Kid had practiced selfâ€" lder_ti:al for many a day. © :>* . They went into the barroom and the Kid hailed Carter. Carter nodded, his eyes still furtive. The Kid introâ€" duced Murray as a "friend o‘ mine." Murray bought three drinks, Carter taking hot rum each time. "I got kind of drunk kind of quick," he said, with his cheerful smile. "That‘s an odd habit you have," Murray said. "Where‘d you get it?" The Kid got to his feet with a hand on the table. "He‘s in the barroom now, taking his first drink of rum," Murray ansâ€" wered. in Murray came out of the barrsom perfectly sober, and going up to the Kid shook him by the shoulder. The Kid woke up as easily and slowly as a baby. "I fell asleep," he said. "He come "If he‘s drinking ruam and looks as if he was afraid of his shadow, that‘ll be him," Dixon had said. Murray wanted no further testiâ€" mony. Dixon, dying that day three years £go, had called his man a "rumâ€" guzzling coward." Because he was dying, Dixon‘s language had ‘been mild. penter, "we‘re going to the hotel to licker up! Sorry for you!" Murray saw the man‘s hands twitch and his mouth work;.

He looked at the changed man and saw a sneer on the thin lips. Hot rum had weakened Carter‘s judgment, and the words of a story that would make Murray sit up rushed to his lips. But he choked them back and swallowed them. It was all right to tell Rollins fragments of the story of the filibustâ€" ering expedition, but he mustn‘t get started on it when he was in a temper, else he might tell the truth. ‘ "Why don‘t you tell us a story?" Murray asked, and Carter heard someâ€" thing in his voice which had not been there before, something pregnant with menace. He half rose and attempted to put his arm across Carter‘s shoulder. Carter shook him away, and he sank into his seat again. _ C "Say," he said, as Murray presentâ€" ly paused to refill his pipe, "why don‘t you tell us a story, Carter? You was tellin‘ them to me when I was your buddy. Ain‘t I your buddy no more?" Murray lit his pipe, gave a cigar to Carter, and began to talk. Rollins failed in his attempt to roll a cigarâ€" ette and slumped down into his chair. On the thirdâ€"night they had been to supper and had come back to the barâ€" room to resume their drinking. The continued excesses were particularly noticeable on Carter and Rollins now. Rollins was sleepily drunk, The progâ€" nosis in his case was easy. But Carter was exhilarated beyond the safety point. His eyes had lost some of their furtiveness. He was even able to look Murray in the eye with a kind of defiance. ‘ The drinks which Murray took scemed only to logsen his tongue. He showed no other signs that the alcohol was in his brain. It was amazing, even to a seasoned drinker like Carter, what he could get away with. Once or twice, going to meals, Carter had been unsteady, while Rollins weaved back and forth waiting for some one else to lead the way to the dining room; but Murray sailed directly for the door, possibly risirs a little on the swell, but no more. Carter wou‘d have a moment of hesitation, ard then the voice of Murâ€" ray would go smocthly on.. Carter weou‘d ficget in his chair, but he would }isten as he had byzn listening hour by hour. pale most of Murray‘s. But he had to hold his tongue, lest he go too far.

Good rubber rings are not necessarily white, red or black. One way of testâ€" ing a rubber is to stretch the ring all round the edge and then lay it on a fresh unstretched ring. The stretched ring should have sprung back so as to be of exactly the size of the unâ€" stretched one. Another test is to fold the ring and press between thumb and finger at the fold. If the rubber cracks or if the crease remains, the rubber should be discarded if it is to be used in canning. meats or vegetables. It is economy to throw away a dozen or more rubber rings, as compared withl throwing away canned foods. Canned foods represent not.only money but time, fuel and precious human energy as well. When the housewife loses canned goods, she often loses courage as well and will not try again. But if boys and girls, in their clubs, can learn how to can perfectly, any woman ;lifting â€"tray must be made of wood ior metal which is raised at least on» | and oneâ€"half inches from the bottom | of the canning vat to prevent the jars | or containers coming in direct contact | with the heat and to permit a free |circulation of water under them.

Never use poor rubbers and never, no never, use old rubbers no matter how good they look or how poor you feel, when canning vegeâ€" tables and meats of any kind. lard can, or something of that shape, is better than a boiler because it is easier to place and remove containers without tge'ir tipping and because of being able to sterilize a larger numâ€" ber of jars over one burner of a flame stove, thereby saving fue! and heat.
