Special Fair Attractions
The past five year* the director* of
the Tillsonburg and Dercham Agri
cultural Society adopted the policy of
contracting for special attractions
only with the largest and most repu
table agencies in North America, and
again this year have signed contracts
with Worth and Hamid, Inc., of New
York City. Perhaps it would be inter
esting to the general public to know
that among the fair* this company arc
supplying free acts for this year, arc
Canadian National Exhibition. Toron
to; New York State Fair, Syracuse,
N.Y.; Great Ready Fair, Reading Pa.,
Great Brocton Fair. Brocton, Mass.;
Quebec Provincial Exhibition, Moris-
set, Quebec; Western Fair, London,
Ont.; Canada's Great Eastern Exhibi
tion, Sherbrooke, Que.; Genesee County

Lewiston, Pa.; and three hundred
other North American fairs. The
above firm have built up a business of
international fame, and have under
contract only acts that are the
cream of the amusement world. The
increasing Rate receipts year by year
is a sure indication that our thousands
of patrons appreciate the money spent
for special attractions. On August 21.
22, 23, the directors promise you the
greatest assemblage of free attractions
ever presented outside of the London Fair in Western Ontario, and include
Hip Raymond and Mildred Maison.
Le Favor and Pierce, Paulus the Nerv
iest and Rosa Rentz Duo. This week
let us introduce Hip Raymond and
Mildred Maison, who present one of
those sure fire comedy acts that bubbles
over with infectious humor. Raymond
is one of those droll pantomimic
comedians who apparently does every
thing wrong but accomplishes many
sensational feats in balancing and ac
robatics. Miss Mildred Maison, who
attained fame a short time back as one
of the original Mack Sennett Bathing
Girls, is a beauty in every sense of the
word. Blessed with a physically perfect form, a face of angelic beauty,
she prove* an admirable foil for Hip’s
comicalities. Incidentaly Miss Maison is
an accomplished athlete and excels in
all sort* of outdoor sports. She is an
excellent swimmer,” inside of hundred
at golf, rides like a Cossack and an
expert with fire arms. The conclud
ing feature of the act is the sensation
al rocking tables, in which the famous
catchline, "Did you see it," figures
prominently.

This creates a huge problem for Ox
ford County, according to the county
clerk, as practically all the roads in
Oxford in the county system are less
than the required 66 feet in width be
tween fences, most of them varying
from one or two to six feet short. The
regulations will entail the purchase of
land along these roads To bring them
up io the standard width. This sum
mer a starat was made on the road
between Springiord and Tillsonburg
by buying the necessary land, but it
was not expected that a peremptory
order covering all county roads would
be made.

Woodstock, July 23 — The great
danger of the “death-trap" stretch of
nucadam east of Woodstock on pro
vincial highway No. 2 was again im
pressed upon motorists when the
week-end toll of wrecked cars on this
greasy stretch of road reached ten.
Following five skidding accidents on
Friday afternoon at least five more
cars went into the ditch in the course
of a heavy rain on Sunday morning.
Fortunately although all the cars were
badly wrecked, none of occupants sus
tained very severe injuries. The worst
accident was one in which it was
claimed that the condition of the road
was entirely to blame as only the one
car was concerned in it. In this car.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Weiss of Inwood
Place. Buffalo, N.Y.. were badly bruis
ed and cut and both had their backs
severely wrenched; Mfrs. Weiss more
so than her husband.
The latest series of accidents has
greatly augmented the already con
siderable local comment on the con
dition of this dangerous piece of road
and on every hand is heard the
opinion that something should Uo-donc
at once by the department of highways
to treat the surface of the road so as
to remove the greasy menace to life
and property. The general view is
taken that while local people arc
aware of the danger o fthc road when
wet or under a hot sun and govern
themselves accordingly, the road looks
as safe as any other to the stranger
to the district. Among the suggestions
made are rolling in stone chips to
resurface the road or at least erecting
signs to warn strangers of the dang
erous nature of the road.
1 Recollections of the Past
Dereham Lady Retail. Pioneer Dayi
on th. Occasion of Het 87th Birth.
<Uy. —-----
iFrom Our Mt. Elgin Correspondent)
Few of our older residents today
have lived iong enough to recall from
personal experience the early pioneer
I life in this district- Mrs. D. H. Gilbert
> is one of few. and is indeed a very re
markable lady. In her eighty-seventh
year, she has outlived nearly all of the
,old residents of Mt. Elgin district, and
I is one of the oldest residents of Dere-
ham township, in which she has lived
! for seventy-eight years. On July 20th.
Mr*. Gilbert quietly celebrated her 87th
birthday at her home in the village oi
’ Mt. Elgin, receiving many congratula
tion*-from her many friends, also kind | remembrances of postal cards, beauti-
I ful flowers and gifts, for which she was [ so thankful.
Despite her 87 years, she still enjoys
i a fair degree of good health, and lakes
i a keen interest in all that is going on
around her. Her memory is fairly
I good. and she likes to talk on subjects
old. and can recall with vividness many
I incidents that occurred when parts of
this district was but a wilderness. Mrs.
' Gilbert has for a number of years suf-
, fered from the effects of shortness of
'breath, and a weak heart, but. seated
[quietly and comfortably in her rocking
; chair on the porch at her home she
thoroughly enjoys the summers, and
employs herself in light needlework,
which she can still do exceptionally
well for her years, and at the same time keeps herself fairly well posted on
what is going on with the aid of the
daily newspaper.Mrs. Gilbert, whose maiden name
was Hannah McEwen, was born in
Pickering township, near a village call
ed Clairmount. not far from Toronto,
which was then called Muddy York, in
1841. Her father, the late John Mc
Ewen. had come to this country on
July 4tb. 1832. and was a native of the
County of Down. Ireland. Lat-r on in
years he bought a farm in Pickering,
<>n which he lived for aliout 17 years,
and in 1850 he moved his family to
Dcrcham township and !>ought a oneiixativn. Agri-. . ..the hundred acre farm one mile south and
one mile west of X'crschoylc. where
Mr. John McEwen. Jr, now resides.
Mrs. Gilbert was 9 year.- old when she

clearly that moderation in eating is

Trip to Royal Fair
Canadian National Arranjei Compe
tition for Dominion Challenge Cup
for Calf Breeders.
An announcement of general interest
: to dairy farmers in Eastern Canada
and of special interest to their sons and
daughters has recently been made by
the Department o: Colonization and
Agriculture. Canadian National Rail
ways. Montreat According to this an
nouncement, arrangements have been
i made whereby the Canadian National
I Railways will give assistance to the
I Boys' and Girls' Calf Breeding and
I Purebred Heifer Breeding Cubs which
I have been organized by the Federal
I and Provincial Departments of Agri-
I culture during the past few years.
, This assistance is in the nature o:
a free trip to the Royal Winter Fair,
Toronto, tor the Provincial champion
ship Boys' and Girls' Club team. The
fortunate winners of the Provincial
championship in club work will have
the opportunity of visiting Canada's
premier live stock show and also oi
j competing with teams from .Other
provinces for the championship oi
. Eastern Canada. Medals for each
contestant and a championship chal
lenge cup arc being provided by the
i spon-ors oi this competition.
It is interesting to note that while
l the Boys' and Girl.' Calf Feeding and I Heifer Breeding Club, have only been
1 conducted a few years they have made
excellent progress. In Quebec they
have played an important -«art in rais
ing the standard of dairying. In the
Maritime Provinces a small number oi
calf feeding clubs were in operation in
1927 and these proved so successful;
that the number organized this year]
[ha, been more than trebled. From [
[preliminary figures supplied it is esti-1
: mated that 174 club* will lie. in oper-
|ati*»:i in Eastern Canada this year.
I which will represent approximately
[2.9.15 boy* and girls between the age,,
of ten and eighteen or in other word*
have a direct effect on dairying on.
uearlv a, many farms. This indirect;
effect upon club di-tricts as a whole,
will be much greater bitt difficult to
accurately estimate.
Dr. W. I. Black, who i* director ot
the Department of Colonization. Agri
culture and Natural Resource*, tor the
Canadian National Railway*, ha* re-,
evived many request, iron: officials of
the different department, oi Agricul
ture. to give th:- assistance to the[
Boys' and Girls' Swine Clubs over Can-,
ada in connection with the Bacon Mog
Competition which also culminates in
the Dominion-wide competition in I
connection with the Royal Winter Fair.|
Th:, latter competition ha* proved of i
real value in effectively assisting thej
bacon industry in Canada, and it is.
hoped that assistance to the calf club*'
will have a similar effect in developing
the dairy industry through the medium
oi the boys and girls resulting in bet- .
ter breeding, feeding and management
of dairy stock which would in turn in-,
crease the average production from1
dairy cows, consequently increasing,
the prosperity of dairy farmers in |
Ea-tcrn Canada.
The Importance of Rest
Life consists oi alternating periods
of activity and rest. To live in a1
healthy condition, it is necessary that ‘
these periods lie balanced one with the ,
!: activity be too prolonged, there
is a loss oi efficiency. The tired eye '
sees les well, the tired mu-cle, do not
respond as quickly, the tired workman
produces a smaller quantity and a
lower grade of work, the tired brain
:» lei* efficient.
It i, a well-established fact that a
much higher jxrcv-ntage «»£ accidents
occur in factories towards the end of i
the day. Even under the stimulus <>t a
patriotic fervour, it was found that the [
number of shell* pfUduced per week.
i during the Great War, was increased
by reducing the hour of work in the -
i elimination of Sunday work.
A change is a rest. Recreation or
play is a change which provides rest
in one manner. It doe, not. however,
provide ret all. ways. It is rest in
the sense that it is a <liver*i<>n. but it _
is not re'tful in the sense that sleep,
i*. Play furnishes relief front _ the >
monotony of work, give* a fresh;
mental stimulu*. but it does not provide tor the rest that is needed to.
rebuild and restore the body-cells -
broken by activity. _ -
Period, oi activity, cither at work r
or at play, must be balanced bv .
|»criods of rest, and the ideal form ot
rest is sleep.
When disease attacks the body, rest
is one of the essentials of treatment.
The jiatient is put to bed and is kept
as comfortable as possible in order
that bv means of rest, the body may
make its best fight against the enemy
—disease.
Persons who arc below par. adult* .
and children who are underweight. ;
benefit by added rest. Children fre- .
quently gain in weight with no other .
change in their routine oi hie except
a rest period after meal*.
Rest costs nothing in money, but it |
mean* taking time from -Cther thing)
for the purpose. To do without suffi
cient rest is to wear out the body
prematurely. Rest •» required just a*
much in summer a, in winter, which
is a truth that iwople arc apt to over
look. both for themselves and for their
children.

Picnic, at th. Park.
The local parks are proving very at
tractive this season. On Wednesday
two picnics, one from Springfield
United church, and one from Avondale
United chbrch, Tillsonburg. were held.
The sports programs for both proved a
real fun-fest, that of the former con
taining an auto-tire competition, which
elicited the most merriment. Also the
matrimonial trip proved a real fun
maker. On Wednesday a large crowd
also thronged Memorial park, it being
the annual S. S. picnic from Norwich.
A good program of sports was also
provided for this gathering, which was
closely contested. On Saturday. Mem
orial park accommodated one of the
largest picnics of the season, when In
gersoll Trinity Anglican church held
their annual outing. A special train of
nine cars was required to convey t^e
visitors, about five hundred in number,
A large number motored to the park.
The train was run on a siding skirting
the west side of the park, which, when
alighting, made easy access to the park
The fine program of sports occupied
practically the entire afternoon and included a softball game between Port
Burwell and Ingersoll. Owing to the success of the visit last year to Mem
orial Park, the management, under the
leadership of the rector. Rev, Mc
Millan. decided in favor of Memorial
for this year. One of the most pleas
ing features of the outing was the ex
cellent program given by lhe Ingersoll
Highland Band, who accompanied the
picnickers to the Port. The traiif con
veying the party arrived at 2 p.m., leav
ing again for home at 8 p.m.
Sudden Death of G. A. Ault
On Wednesday afternoon the whole
town was shocked to learn qf the sudden death from heart failure of Geo. A.
Ault, while attending the Port Burwell
baseball tournament. Mr. Ault, who
was 58 years of age, had spent much
of his life in this place and vicinity,
had arrived with his family at their
summer home from their home in Cleveland on Saturday. Mr. Ault, who
suffered from heart weakness, had

On 'Sunday B. Hill and troupe of
Hawaiian pupils motored to the
Houghton sand hills where they gave a
musical program during the afternoon,
returning to the American Hotel in the
evening, where they dined. They
again provided a delightful musical
treat for those who were fortunate
enough to hear them. About thirty in
lumber, the troupe arc well worth icaring.

B. Y P. U.
On Friday evening the regular week
ly meeting of the local B.Y.P.U. was
held in the Baptist church at 8 o’clock
and was well attended. The meeting,
which was in charge of W. E. Schultz,
was opened with a hymn and followed
by prayer offered by Miss Bessie An
derson. who is a teacher in Northern
Ontario. Following the scripture read
ing. which was in charge of Mr*. F.
Darrk, a splendid musical program was
given as follows:—Violin solo, Master
Omar VanSicklc, of Campbellville;
vocal solo. Miss Merle VanSickle of
Toronto, Miss Gladys VanSickle of
Toronto being accompanist in both
cases;, a violin solo unaccompanied, by
"Billie’’ Bending of London, who is
perhaps the best boy musician who has
appeared before the local public in a
number of years. Billie, as he is familiarly known, is holidaying in the vil
lage. and although receiving a hand
some remuneration for hi* services in
London, was delighted to lend his talent
to the B.Y.P.U. program, which pro
vided a real treat for music lovers.
Although only in his ’teens, this youth
is possessed of a real musical enthusi
asm, which, coupled with hi* excellent
expression and interpretation, will go
far toward his success in musical cir
cles. Following the muskal part of the
program. Rev. King of Broderick Bap
tist church, St. Thomas, gave an excel
lent address, choosing for his subject,
"The Prism of Redemption,” and using
colored crayon sketches on a black
board to illustrate hi* remark*. The
E~ m of redemption is the human
rt black- with its. sin.. The pure
light of God's love shines in and Hi*
red blood cleanses white as snow. As
a result of its cleansing the prism radi
ates the rainbow color* in twin rain
bow effect of patience, kindness, gen
erosity, humility, reverence, unselfish
ness, good temper, guildessness, pure
sincerity, long suffering, trustfulness,
confidence, hopefulness and stability,
which when summed up is really the
love of God, as found in 1st Corinth
ians 13. "The love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Spirit," said the speaker. “It is said
the hand that rocks the cradle rock*
the world.” he continued, "and would
to God that every mother in the world
possessed the love of God today.
What a perfect world this would be."
The address, which was excellent, was
a three hour address which the speaker
was forced to give in one hour..

The Open-Air Meeting.
The open air meetings on Iroquois
Park on Sunday were held under cover
of the pavilion owing to the inclement
weather. The morning rain prevented many from attending, but in the after
noon and evening fair crowds were
present, coming from Kitchener. Lon
don, Owen Sound, Detroit and the sur
rounding district. In the morning and
afternoon, Rev. J. A. Johnson. B.A., of
Talbot street church and radio CJAC,
London, was the speaker. Mr. Chile
craft, also . of Talbot street church,
London, being the soloist at these ser
vices, assisted by the Hebermell Or
chestra of Courtland. In the evening
Rev. A. J. Schultz continued his series of addresses on "The Holy Land—In
His Steps," extracts of which arc as
follows:—"And leaving Nazareth. He
came and dwelt in Capernaum” (Matt.
4:13. Last Sunday we tarried in Naz
areth. the boyhood home of Jesus. To
day we will linger a while in "His own
city,” Capernaum. Born in Bethlehem,
reared in Nazareth. Capernaum His
home during hi* Galilean ministry: and from Jerusalem He cried. “It is fin
ished.” The traveller gets his first view
of the Lake of Galilee and it* environs
nearly a thousand feet above water.
The picture is singularly beautiful, as
well as deeply impressive. The sweep
of vision is limited to the northern half
of the lake, but it includes most all of
the localities which have been hallowed
by the ministry of Jesus. Lying 682
feet below the level of the Mcditerra*
nean Sea, and having just come over
the mountains which gracefully curve
around this inland sea. one see* it*
deep depression so because, shutting it
in at every point except where the
Jordan makes its entrance and its exit,
mountains varying in height from 1300
to 2000 feet rise abruptly from the nar
row plain which borders the lake.
Some of the beaches are pearly white,
with millions of minute shell* washed
by the limpid waters of the lake, and
here and there a fringe of oleanders,
rich in May with their blossoms red
and bright. The Jordan descends from
Lake Hulch to the Galilean basin,
through a narrow gorge in a succession
of rapids, for the descent is more than
ninety feet to the mile. Such a foam
ing. swirling torrent, entering the Sea
of Galilee, and passing right through
it. as does the Rhine through the Sea
of Constance. The waters of the sea
are bright and clear, and almost as del
icate a blue as the Bay of Naples. It
is a water-mirror of rare beauty and
great reflective power. In the rich,
warm glow of the setting sun, which
seem* to impart to this lake region a
peculiar glory somewhat like John must
hart seen in the holy vision, which he
described a* "a sea of glass mingled
with fire.” It is safe to say there is no
other place on earth where so much of
the divinely-beautiful life of Jesus is
seen: where so many of His works
were done. There we stood, one great
memory lingering, and every spot hal
lowed ground. Here He spent His
busiest, happiest hour* of His earthly
life. To this place He came again, after His resurrection, to meet His dis
ciples. 1 confess we dipped our hands
and washed our faces in the clear
waters, standing possibly where He
had often stood, at the place where
the fishermen must have landed. We
picked up pebbles and shells, and
ancient broken pottery, some of which
I hold before you in my hands. Here
at Capernaum, amidst the ruins, was a
newly excavated synagogue. A stone
tablet bearing Jalius lhe ruler's name
records, broken of course, which made
us turn to Luke 7: 5. Vine leaves and
the pot of manna are still to be seen
among the rich carving of the lintel.
The very one* that Jesus may have re
ferred to when He said: “My Father
giveth you the true bread from
heaven." Were we at the real Caper
naum? So long it was lost and so
many doctors have differed as to its
real site that it would be presumptu
ous in me arbitrarily to decide, but this
I know: Capernaum was once exalted
to heaven—Levi and Matthew were
called here—Simon and Andrew be
longed there—Jesus healed the Ccn-
turian's servant there and Simon’s
wife’s mother—healed the paralytic—
the nobleman’s son came from here—
and that uncertainty of the site for so
many centuries only show* the exact
fulfilment of its doom foretold by the
Lord: "And thou, Capernaum, which
art exalted into heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the
mighty works which have been done in
thee had been done in Sodam. it
would have remained until this day.
But I say unto you it shall be more
tolerable for lhe land of Sodom in the
day of judgment than fdr thee.”—
Matt. 11: 23, 24. Think of it, friends,
Capernaum, above all cities of Israel,

A Woman Wronged
The Secret of a Crime
BY CAROLINE HART
CHAPTER VI
A Woman Wronged
The words seemed to strike her dead
and dumb; she stood and stared at
hint, with large agonized, sightless
eyes, as a corpse might have stared
while her tongue seemed paralyzed,
and her limbs deprived of sense and
motion. Presently life came back to
the horrified eyes, and speech—low
and uncertain, and in a voice so hoarse
and strange that it seemed like any
one else’* in the world but Helen’s—to
the white and quivering lips.
"Not your wife I" she murmured; and
then, still staring at him blankly, put
one hand into her bosom, and drew
forth a paper. “I—I. was certainly
married to you. Here"—folding her
other hand over the paper, and press
ing: it close to her breast—“here is the
proof. And now you say I am not your
wife I” She paused, waiting for him to
speak or look at her; but he kept
silent, standing with eyes cast down.
She uttered a moan of anguish as she
watched him. "You talk in riddles that
1 cannt comprehend." she went on.
“You will explain, of course."
James Trevor prepared himself to ex
plain "she was a girl of character and
nerve, he knew, and it would take more
than one bitter blow to crush her—al
ready she was rallying from that first
terrible shook. Something like Mac
beth’s misgivings arose in his hard
heart. "I have scotched the snake—
not killed it. She'll turn, and be her
self again!" He felt no pity for her at
all; she-was too strong and resolute
in adversary for that—she compelled
from him a certain respect and fear,
that—in a nature so selfish as his—
utterly destroyed compassion. He be
held in her, now, neither the woman
who loved him nor the woman whom
he had wronged—she was simply a dangerous enemy, in arms against him.
and as such she must be crushed and
destroyed. So he began hi* “explana
tion"
"It \vcry simpk" hc began, sull
enly, "though, as things have turned out"—with a furtive glance at her—
"it is very serious, and—and deplor
able, too for you especially. As for
the child, which you make such a fuss
about, it really need make no differ
ence to the child. 1 will do all that lies
in my power—as to money matters, I
mean—and you can go to some place
where you are not known, and call
yourself a widow, by some other name,
and who is to know the truth? Plenty
of women have gone through the same
experience before, and survived it;
why should not you? It only needs a
little strength of mind. For my part.
I am willing to—"
She stopped him there,' with one
swift, imperative motion of her up
lifted hand.
Glancing at her face he saw her eyes
aflame, like two sparks of fire.
"Plenty of women, who have been
the victims of heartless seduction or
base betrayed, may have done as you
propose," she said, indignantly; "but I.
although unhappy enough. God knows,
am not one of these most unhappy
ones. You married me! I want no
plans and proposals from you for hid
ing my child's birth, as if its existence
were a crime. What I require of you
is that you shall explain upon what
pretext you have dared to say to me—
to me, whom you wedded lawfully—
You are not my wife ’I"
"Here it is. then," hc cried savagely,
his slight stock of patience giving way
at once, under the strain of her im
portunity and his own nervous fears.
"Here's the whole truth of the story.
You were a pretty and imprudent girl,
and 1 conceived a passion for you.
You were innocent and virtuous, for
sooth"—with cruel contmpt—“and
only a marriage would suit you. So I. humoring your scruples (to combat
and overcome them would have been the wiser way!) went through a form
—a semblance of a ceremony, which, in reality, was null and void, because
it was really not in my power to make
you my wife; before I met you I was
already married!"
She fell back as if hc had dealt her
a blow. Not a cry, not a word did she
utter, but hc heard her labored
breathing, and felt the fiery
glance he shrank for meeting. He was
literally afraid to look upon the wo
man hc had wronged—her silence
alarmed him more than the wildest
frenzy of words could have done,—it
grew almost intolerable. •«-
“Why the devil don’t you say some
thing?" he broke out at last, still with
out looking at her. "I'm a scoundrel,
and an infernal villain of courtcrand
you'll feel all the better if you will tell
me so. Not that Ihere'll be any truth In
it"—with a selfish and cowardly insinct
to make his own cause good—"it was
your fault as well as mine. Some men
wouldn't have dealt as honorably by
you as I did—wouldn't have given you
the excuse of thinking yourself a wife.
What right had you to pick up an
acquaintance with a stranger, and
trust yourself in hi* hands? . Your
own imprudence------"
She stopped him for the second
time, her voice so low, and hoarse, and
fierce that hc scarcely recognized it.
"You coward!" she said, and the
intense bitterness of her tone made
him start as if lhe cut of a whip had
stung him. "You villain, and liar, and
coward first of all! My fault! my
imprudence! Do you measure me—a
confiding, loving, inexperienced girl of
eighteen—against the wiles, the arts,
the plots, of a man of the world; a
libertine, a roue of thirty? What if
you had won me, through my deep
affection, to dispense with the form of
marriage? Your crime would have
been less, if I still had fallen, for love’s
sake, at least 1 should have seen and
known the height, and the depth, and
the greatness and blackness of the
abyss into which my folly plunged
me. But you laid a trap for my un
wary feet, and caught me in a treacher
ous snare—you arc a traitor and a

coward! A man might be a villain and
yet not be these, and I might have hated you without despising you!
You made me believe myself a wife,
and now, oh, God! what am I? And
what must my child be? This is what
I am, James Trevor!" She drew her
self up to her full height, and her
voice ro*e dear and high in it* tone*
of »corn and passion. "I am an in
nocent woman, foully wronged, and,
just as surely as God sees and hears
us now. you shall live to feel my
vengeance!"
"Your vengeanceI" He looked at her
now, for lhe first time, and as hc
looked he laughed—low, bitterly,
mockingly. "I am not much afraid
of your vengeance, my girl." with a
contemptuous sneer. "Who and what
are you, without a dollar and without
a friend, if your sharp tongue drives
me away? Better be wise, and make
the best of the bad. I am willing to
make what amends I can to you, and
provide for both you and your child.
Come!" hc held out to her a careless
hand, arc you going to prove a sens
ible woman, or a fool? Arc we to be
friends, henceforth, or enemies?"
She struck his hand away with a
gesture of scorn and loathing.
“Enemies!" she answered him, with
towering passion and scorn. "Enemies
to the death. James Trevor! i'll die—
and what's harder. I'll let my child die,
if need be. rather than accept a crust
from your treacherous hands!" She
raised her eyes to the dark and threat-
ning sky, and lifted her hands on high,
like one who registers an oath in
Heaven—"Front this time forth wc are
enemies to the death!"
CHAPTER VII
In the Lightning’* Glare
As the solemn words rang out upon
the dense night air. high up in the
cloud* the sullen thunder answered
them—a clear, loud, rattling peal that
announced the awakening, in earnest,
of the storm, which for the last half
hour or more, had muttered and
threatened only. One flash of light
ing, sudden, vivid, broad and, leaped
from the black bosom of the murky
sky, a clear, white sheet of flame—and
enveloping for an instant these two solitary human forms’ and throwing
them out, in bold relief, against the
surrounding gloom—played fancifully on
the rock* around their feet, and then
flashed away over the tossing waves,
and vanished into lhe darkness. Ab
sorbed in the greater and wilder
storm of their own emotions, neither
Helen nor her false lover noticed this,
nor saw what the flash revealed at no
greater distance from them—a vessel
in the offiing, with white sails spread
and anchor weighed—slowly and caut
iously passing the dangerous Black
Point, and letting forth upon a three
year*’ cruise for Africa.
A man stood on the vessel's deck—
her captain, a handsome, ' manly, fair
haired fellow, of not over twenty
seven years old. Hc was anxious and
grave, for the aspect of the night was
threatening, and this was hi* first
experience in actual command of a
ship; and not only the safety of the
crew and welfare of the vessed were in his keeping, but on the success of
this voyage depended the happiness of
hi* life, ay—and of another's a wo-
nian's-lifc—a thousand times dearer
than his own. With his mind full of
a variety of cares and thoughts, it
was of thi* dear woman hc was think
ing first and most of all?—of her deep,
dark eyes, that had gazed into his own,
and her soft, sweet lips, that had kiss
ed him such a fond farewell but a few
hour* since,—of her he was thinking,
first of all, as he sailed around Black
Rock Point, sweeping the dim horizon
carefully with his glass the while,
suddenly a broad and vivid flash of
lightning lit up the scene, and show
ed him,'for one brief *ccond, the
lonely rock, and two form*—those of
a man and a woman—Handing at it*
extreme point,—clearly defined, in
that vivid, instantaneous glare, against
the black and lowering sky, and, in
the next instant, gone.
It was not because he had recog
nized cither of them—for he had not—
that his thoughts flew away, on the
instant, from the woman nearest and
dearest to his heart to another only a
few degrees less dear—his only sister,
almost hi* only relative, Helen Clare.
"To leave without good-bye.” he
muttered. "That seems hard, Nell!
What in the world could have kept the
child away? Those Gordon* refused,
at the last minute, to let her come,
most likely. Oh, hang them, for a
purse-proud, heartless set! Poor Nell!
She has been looking paler and sadder
than she should, of late; I doubt she’s
none to happy with them, poor little
sis! Ah, well, three years won't be
long, to her, in passing—not so long
as two sweethearts, like Florric and 1;
and when I come back and claim my
sweet wife and make her a home.
Nellie shall come and live with us."
Then his thoughts reverted to the
swift, brief vision on the rock. "A
man and woman in that lonely place,
and in such weather.f and at this late
hour," hc mused; "what can it mean?
I wonder if it is any one Helen
know*." And hc swept the dark hori
zon with hi* glass once more, eagerly,
anxiously. "I don’t half like it." the
bluff sailor muttered to himself. "On
such a night modest women and honest
nten ought to be in their home*. What
sort of fellow would take a woman to
such a place at such an hour—nigh on
to ten o'clock? We're almost opposite
the Point now, I reckon. I wish the
lightning would Hath again, and let
me see their face*."
Hc would have seen a light to be
rembered if hc could have looked on
those pale, pa*»ion-woni face* at that
moment. Enemies they were, from
that hour. These »omc time lover*,
whom the church and the Law had
nude “one flesh." were twain, from
henceforth and forever; and. as they
faced each other, fierce and open foe*,
out of the eyes of the woman looked
rage, and grief, and an eager thirst
for vengeance—and out of the hand
some. shifting, treacherous eye* of the
nun looked furiou* anger, murderous
hatred, and a cruel thirst for blood.
“If she were only dead!” he thought,
with hi* wicked, baleful glance retting
on her like a blight. "It must come
to that in the end. too! Her death is
the best, the safest, the only way out
of this trap for her, for me, for all of
u»!"
And he cast a swift glance around
him, marking how dark and solitary
was the place, how utterly she was
in hi* power, how close—within a few
feet of death!—how clote to the edge
of the rock Helen wa* standing.
“One push,” hc thought, “one reso
lute push, and all this trouble would
be ended. If they ever found her it
would be suicide, of course. Why
don't I give that push? Why don't I
rid myself of her?"
And a* he looked at her. still silent,
resolute, pale, a sudden revulsion of feeling, something of terror, swept
over him, and made him sicken and
quail;—it wa* because in that instant
hc realized what “wild work" it was
that the devil had tet for his hand* to
do between that night and the morn-
realized that he was standing
to face with a hideous crime

The Crime and the Witness

that had fallen between them; he

; hc had yet the most important
portion of hi* task to perform, and hc
cared to lose no more time in idle re

Helen's face to the certificate she still
clasped in her hand.—if she would give
it up quietly *o much the belter, for
her!— if not—well;;his eyes gleamed,
and he *et hi* lips over a bitter

"Enemies be it then," hc said,

you to study and treasure that mar
riage certificate—now that you know
it has no value for you or any one—
be kind enough to give it up to me!"
He pul out his hand, a* if to take it from her; but she drew back,
with an angry frown and thrust the
paper back into her breast.
"The certificate belong* to me.” she
said, "and I *hall keep it." Then with
a sudden flash of half hope, half sus

Do you suppose I am so weak and
spiritless a thing that I shall sit down
and fold my hands under this cruel,
infamous wrong, without so much a*
an effort to set myself and my child
right in the estimation of the world?
You don't know the woman of whom
you have made a foe! I am not so
utterly defenseless as you think, while
I have the will and the spirit to defend
myself—and. besides, I have still a
brother. Ah, when he meets the
wretch who has ruined hi* *i*ter's life,
will hc not defend and avenge me?
I shall keep the certificate to prove
my honor and truth to him when hc
returns, just as I have already written
to him in the event of aught happen
ing to me. So that you will not
escape me!" *hc continued, in wild
excitement. “If death were to come
to me—oh, 1 wish it would!—this very
night, and this very hour, the letter
would still be placed in Herbert's
hand some day; and I should reach!
out and strike at you with vengeance
in my hands, even from the very'
grave!’’
She was excited almost to the point I
of frenzy. Her voice rose high; her eyes gleamed bright, and her head1
wa* thrown back proudly, while the j "yellow, mermaid's hair, that Trevor '
had once so much admired, freed from j
her hat by the blustering breeze, fell |
over her shoulders like a golden veil.:
all heavy and damp with the night
dew and the spray. All her old beauty
had returned to her in this terrible
hour, with something of weirdness and
wildness added to it, that seemed
prophetic of the horror that was to
come. She was, indeed, on the verge
of madness, from anguish, and shame,
and rage; Trevor, on the contrary,
was curiously quiet, and self-possessed, and cool; but it wa* with a calm
ness that boded ill to hi* hapless
companion, and a coolness that was as
icy, and as hard, and as relentless
and fatal too, a death.
"People can never do much after
they arc laid in their graves," he said I
coldly. "Best take care you don't [

Men have been known to murder,

hand upon her arm—"you said you'd I
written a letter. Your brother was to I

such a letter as you, say why has he I
not answered it?”
"I did not say I had sent it!" She writher under his rough grj*ep, trying '
to lake her arm away.
“It is in my desk at home. I said j
that, if harm should come to me, it I would be sent to him, or hc would get
it on his return, and he would know how to avenge me I Let go my arm!
You hurt me!"
Bu| he only tigH|enc’d his grasp
upon her arm, and, drawing her
toward him, thrust a rough hand into
her breast. "The certificate!" hc
muttered. "Give it up quietly, girl;
it’ll cost you your life to refuse it!"
And he tried to tear the paper from
her bosom.
She fought for it as for her life.
"You shall never have it!" she cried,
passionately. "I will keep it to prove
that—as I believe!—I am your wife
indeed, or to prove your crime against
me, and send you where you may re
ceive just punishment! You bigamist I

The Flag
Bonier Citits Star
Canadian* who watched the great
Knights Templar parade in Detroit
yesterday were particularly struck
with the number of flags displayed on
the line of march, and the general re
spect paid them. Frankly, it was in
contrast with what one sees in our
own country.
Two traffic policemen were stationed
directly opposite the spot occupied by
the writer of these lines. It was not
iced that every time an American flag
appeared—and such emblems came
along every'four or five minutes—both
officers formally saluted. It wasn't
done for effect, but but merely as a
matter of course. And, despite the
intense heat, the heads of the great
crowd were continually bared as the
flags moved past.
All for show and quite unecessary.
we hear someone say. But is it? We
think not. There isn't a nation in the
world that has more respect than the
United States for the nationl emblem.
It is drilled into the boys and girls from
the time they are able to understand
anything. They arc taught that the
flag means much, that it symbolizes
the greatness, of the nation, and that their nation is the greatest on earth.
Some of us on the outside may dispute
the latter idea, but it is a good way
for Americans to think. They have
supreme faith in their country*. To
them there is no land quite as fine,
quite as powerful, quite as worth
while in its citizenship. This is a
compelling thought.
One of the things that has made the
UnitcdStates what it is today—one of
the first three, at any rate, of the
nations of the world—is the spirit of
patriotism instilled in the hearts of |
the people. In a country such as the
American republic, a country that has
within its borders and among its citi
zenship. the representatives oi practic
ally every race under the sun. the flag I
is of especial importance. It is the
great canopy under which all races
and all tongues come together to form
the blend that is the United States. It
is the symbol of Americanism. It is
the banner of liberty to which millions
in war-weary Europe have turned
their thoughts and steps.
There is a lesson for Canada in the
devotion of the American people to i
their flag. The Knight Templar's |
parade in Detroit—one of the largest
peace-time processions in the history
of this continent—demonstrated to
Canadian visitors just what the flag

mean* to the American*—to Ameri
can* of every class and every race.
One doe* not mean that Canadian* do
not respect their flag. They do. But
in comparison with our friends across
the river. Canadians arc careless in
their flag manners. A parade can go
down the streets of Windsor and
many heads will be covered a* the
flag passes by. We do not lay enough
stress on flag observance. Indeed, the
newcomers within our gates often put
u* to shame in this respect. If it is
important for the United States to
have emphasized the flag all these
years, for general reasons and to aid
in the Americanization of the millions
of new citizens rolling in from Europe
and eleswhcre, it is just as important
that Canada should do the same, be
cause we are attracting immigration
from all quarters of the earth and will
attract more and more as the years go
by. These newcomers, we hope and
believe, will become good citizens of
Canada and they and their children
and their chidrcn's children, will be as
upstanding Canadians as those of us
who had the good fortune to be born
in this country. The educational sys
tem of the United States has often
been criticized, but certainly it can
never be found fault with on . the
ground that it neglects to teach the
children, the natives and the foreign-
born, the greatness of the nation and
the glory of the flag. One can easily
understand, after such a demonstra
tion. how a dynamic figure like the
late Theodore Roosevelt, with his in
tense nationalism, gripped the imagin
ation of the American people. Some
person* called Roosevelt a flag-waver:
perhaps he wa*. but he did thing* for
his country and he helped immeasur
ably in the task of placing her in the
forefront of the nation*.
Every now and then incident* ari»e
in Windsor and other point* as a
result of American visitors flying flags
on their motor car*. In The Star's
Letter Box, a day or two ago, appear
ed a letter from a Detroit reader tak
ing vigorous exception to the action
of a Canadian who tore down an
American flag flying from the radia
tor cap of a Michigan car in Walker
ville. The Star cannot approve of
discourtesy to visitors, but at the same
time it must admit that the visitor,
in thi* case, got little more than he
deserved. The affront is unintentional,
of course, but it is none the les* an
affront when a machine rolls down
the streets of the Border Cities gaily
decked with American flags. Cana
dian motorists, we feel sure, would
not be permitted to reverse the pro
cess on the other side. If an Ameri
can desires to fly his flag here he
should have the courtesy to place a
Canadian emblem alongside. Plenty
of the latter arc available. If this was
done, such unpleasant incidents as the
Walkerville one already referred to,
would not happen. Indeed, it might
be the part of wisdom for our Cana
dian custom* and immigration officers
to politely speak to any American
visitors whose car carries flags, sug
gesting that they be removed or a
Canadian flag be added. Stocks of the
latter could even be kept on hand at
the ports of entry and sold for a
nominal sum.
There is nothing unreasonable in
this suggestion. No reasonable Ameri
can would object. It is simply a mat
ter of international courtesy, of ordin
ary flag manners.
Canada should place more emphasis
on the flag.
American Looked
For Eskimo*
Residents of Hamilton are chuck
ling over an American tourist who
passed through there equipped with
heavy clothing, a toboggan and a
tleigh. He asked a policeman how far
north he could gel before it would be
necessary to put on his heavey under
wear. Many American tourists express
surprise at finding the weather so
warm this far north, but this visitor
was the first noticed this summer pre
pared for Arctic temperatures.
The world could be twice as bad as
it is. Suppose the seasons were six
months instead of three?
The story is told of Henry Ward
Beecher that after the great preacher
had finished a sermon and stood by
the pulpit yet in the fusing after-heat
of high discourse, a parishioner came
and said to him:
“Mr. Beecher. I enjoyed your ser
mon very much, but I noticed one
grammatical error you made."
“One?" said the preacher. “I'll bet
my hat there were twenty."—Printed

VUhcn Canadian National Railways introduced the single room sleeping cars on
the eleven o'clock night trains between Montreal and Toronto, it very soon
became evident thap this type of high-class service would be welcomed by the
travelling public. As a result of the immediate popularity, it has already been
found necessary to place these cars in service on other trains of the company, and
since June 20, these cars have been in service also on the ten o'clock night trains
between these two cities.
The single room sleeping car meets the demand of those who require a little
additional comfort and privacy during their travels. Each car contains fourteen
single bedrooms, and each room is completely fitted with toilet requisites. The cars, introduced in Canada for the first time by the Canadian National System,
arc designed especially for night journeys, where the passenger boards the train
between ten o'clock and midnight, and reaches his destination at an early hour
next morning. As they arc not intended for daytime travel, there b no additional Mating accommodation in the bedrooms. In these rooms, which are delightfully
decorated, the tiasscngcr fir. Js a real bed awaiting, which is placed cross-wise of the
car instead of lengthwise as in the case cf an ordinary sleepjng-car berth. Each
pair of rooms have a connecting door, to that couples or parties travelling together
may use this door, which, however, has bolts on each side for use when the rooms
arc sold individually. The rooms are equipped with every device for the comfort
and convenience of the passenger and arc filling an important place in furnishing
the traveller with added comfort and convenience during his journey. .
These cars arc operated in addition to the club cars and other latest equip
ment which has become a recognized feature of the all-steel Canadian National
Railways trains between the two cities.
vidual giving a topic, the meeting was
turned into a personal testimony
meeting, with'everyone taking part.
It w-a* a great joy to sit and listen
to this group of young men and wo
men testify to the saving and keeping
power of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. All the young people of Courtland and of the surrounding neighbor
hood arc heartily invited to this ser
vice.
Saturday evening the young men of
the Baptist church will continue theii
open air meeting in the town of Till
sonburg, weather permitting. A time
of blessing was witnessed last Satur
day evening when a large gathering
stood on the street corner and listened to the young men, one after the other
giving their testimony of what the
Lord has done for them. Many of
them are able to join with the psalmist
of old in his proclamation, "He
brought me up also out of an horrible
pit, and of the miry clay, and set my
feet upon a rock, and established my
goings. And hath put a song in my mouth, even praise unto our God.
Many shall see it and fear, and shall
trust in the Lord." You are heartily
invited to this open air service every
Saturday evening.
The Baptist church announcements
for Sunday, July 29, arc as follows:—
Straffordville town hall. 11.00 a.m..
Courtland Baptist church, 3.00 p.m..

C.G.I.T. Meeting
The Courtland Banner group, GG.
I.T. entertained the south Middleton
group Wednesday, July 11. on the par
sonage lawn. Songs and hymns from
C.G.l.T. song sheets provided the
opening part of the program, but the
most interesting part was the bible
story-telling contest, in which three
girls from each group took an active
part. Audrey Wilkinson and Vera
McMahon, were first and second prize
winners, while the other competitors
Jean Birdsall, Mary Simmons. Elma
Holbrook and Annie Burnett, were
deserving of honorable mention, and
received prizes in order of merit.
Master George Harvey made the
presentation. A letter from an active
Children's Aid Society worker , in
Simcoe was read, telling the girls
how they may help a great deal by
gifts of fruit, vegetables, outgrown
clothing, etc. No active plans were
made, but if the interest of parents,
too, can be enlisted in the children of
our country, under the care of the
C.A.S., much aid could be given. Sing
ing of round songs and games provid
ed much amusement, and a picnic
lunch concluded a pleasant afternoon.
The girls arc looking forward to a trip
to the GG.I.T. camp at Normandale.
in the near future.

Rev. L. G Harvey will preach next
Sunday at the United church on lhe
subject; "No Excuse." There will be
scrvivcc in South Middleton church at
11.00 a.m. and here at Courtland at
7.30 p.m. Sunday school at the usual
hours.
Just a real good time in store for
everyone who likes to come to the
social evening over at South Middle
ton church again on Friday evening.
Varied program—a friendly crowd-
no collection—a welcome to all.
Rev. Harvey expects to take Sun
day, August Sth and 19th, as holidays.
By action of the official board preach
ing services will be withdrawn at all
the appointments on these two Sun
days. The regular services will be
held on August 12th. It is hoped that
the congregation will avail themselves
of these two holiday Sundays to visit
friends and other churches, so that
when holiday time is passed the
people may settle down to regular and
loyal attendance. It is generally con
ceded that a minister needs some holi
days during the year. Perhaps such
a holiday as that suggested may be
beneficial also to the congregation.
Next Sunday there will be a special
service for the Orangemen at the
Guysboro church. The hour of service
will be 3.00 o'clock; suitable music is
being prepared and the minister of
the church has been asked to give the
address. It is expected that there will
be a large attendance and that the
service will be one to remember.
The way the little boys and girls
took part in that cradle roll service
at the United church last Sunday was
rcall- splendid. Of course there were
several talks, but undoubtedly every
one enjoyed most of all seeing the
kiddies take their parts in short reci
tations and songs. Much praise is
due Mrs. R. Herron and Mrs. J.
Rennie, and to others who assisted in
arranging the program. This fine ser
vice with so many mothers and babes
present should be an impetus to the
work of the cradle roll during the

sweeping the horizon with his glass,
wishing for another vivid lightning

Clare realized that a murder hat
escaped, while his victim sank to death
in the dark, heaving waves that rest
lessly surged and swelled around him.
Man the boats! A woman over
board! Quick men, for the love of
Heaven ! This was the thrilling order,
given in stentorian tones, that rang
through the ship, and startled the
crew into rapid and eager action.
Quicker than seems credible or poss
ible two lioats were out, and manned
by pitiful hearts and willing hands,
were pulling away over the dark and
troubled surface of the sea.
"Keep a sharp lookout!" the cap
tain shouted to the creew. "She wore
a light dress, and had long, fair hair,
and one or the other will show on the
dark waves when she rises; God grant
you find her!"
But in his heart he knew there was
scarce a chance of finding her while
life was in her. and. as he realized
' that he had been the witness of the
brutal murder of a woman, his very
• very soul revolted with detestation.
I and disgust, and pain, and he swore
, deeply to bring righteous vengeance
on. the cowardly assassin.
"I shall know him again!" he mut-
’ tcre<*- >*. with the glass in hand once
more, he followed the movements of’ the boats. “Alas! poor soul, they see
no signs of her! But I’ll make him

I’ve seen him somewhere before to-
• night. I fancy, and I shall know him
’ again. Ah! what’s that near the rock!’
’ His voice rang out over the waves
again, in its loud, clear, clarion-like
tones. "Pull for the rock, my men!
there she floats—ah! she’s going
down again! Pull. pull, for your lives!"
CHAPTER IX
“My Sister! Helen!"
: "Pull for your lives!” shouted the
: kind-hearted captain of the “Saucy
1 Jane." The men in the boat*. hearing
: his ringing tones, pulled with a will,
i indeed, straining every nerve and
muscle to their task—striving to save
; the life of the hapless woman, whose
I light dress they now distinctly saw,
r floating on the dark waler at but a 1 short distance from the boats, and
‘ close to Black Rock Point
"They’ve got her!" said a voice at
■ Captain Clare’s elbow. “They’ve got
! the poor creature, thank God! Though
whether there’s life in her is a doubt-
• ful matter, of course. Well. I’ll go
. down below, and prepare for her. We
• must leave nothing undone to save
’ her."
' Captain Clare answered, quickly and
• excitedly, without ceasing to watch the
‘ scene through his glass:
e "That’s it. Ned; ’leave nothing un- 1 done to save her!’ By Heaven, sir,
• they have got her in the boat! Oh,
r if we can only save her life! I’m tak
ing this long voyage for a woman’s
’ sake—as you know. Ned—and I’ll take
‘ it as a fortunate omen if. at the very
: outset. I may save this life. What a
• lucky thing that you should be aboard
s —a doctor! That improves her
r chances! Take my c^bin. Ned; order
- what you. please; if she’ll live she shall
e be mistress of the ship. Lord bless
>’ her! If she’ll only live! And I don’t
- see why she should not. For. unless
I. that cowardly brute has given her a
f slab or a blow, she has only been in
r the water for a few minutes. Ah!
o here they come!"
K Here they came, indeed; and here
: came the storm, too: lashing the
d waves into while foam with sudden
K fury while one tremendous gust of c win’d struck the “Saucy Jane" so hard
- and viciously that she reeled and
s shook under the blown, and rolled
- over almost on her side. This happen-
cd just as Helen and her rcsuccrs
c came on board, and Captain Clare—
• with his whole attention given to the
s saftey of the ship—did not so much
y .is see the face of the woman whom
d he ha<l saved from a watery grave.
c Dr. Searle—the man whom the cap-
1 tain had called “Ned”—received the
d dripping and senseless form from the
- men’s •ugh. but kindly hands, and I
carefully carried her below. Here, in
the captain’s own private cabin, a bed
was hurriedly prepared, and Dr.
Searle applied himself to the task of
recalling the |>oor girl to life and con
sciousness.
He was a man of considerable ex
perience and skill, though young in
brim- not over thirlv. Hi* hfe
had been a hard one, until, during the
last year, the death of a distant rela
tive. who, living, had never noticed
him. had suddenly and unexpectedly
made him rich. Worn out by hard
work in a city hospital, and a large
but by 4io means lucrative practice
among a poor class of patients, he had
eagerly seized upon the opportunity
for rest and change which his new for
tune afforded him. and had shipped as
passenger, for a three years’ cruise,
with his old friend and school-fellow,
Herbert Clare.
"As if on pur|)ose to give this poor
soul a chance of life," he muttered, as
he applied restoratives to the inani
mate form, "for what chance would
she liabe had. in a storm like this,
with none but rough or ignorant sea
men around her? Poor thing! A lovely
face," he added, as he swept back from
the marble-like features the long, wet,
golden hair. “I’d like to save her, for
her beauty’s sake, as well as for mere
humanity, and the wish to gratify
Bert. I guess Florence Hamilton
would pronounce her too young and
fair to be ’mistress of the ship, as
says she shall; a face like this might
tempt from his allegiance even so true
a lover as Bert Clare. She’s not
dead,” he added, as he detected a faint
pulsation of the heart under his hand.
"She’s not dead!Ah!” as the practiced
hand and eye of the physician made
another and more startling discovery
—“my God. what’s this? Poor girl!
jtoor girl! Tips is why yonder brutal
coward flung her over into the sea!
He did his foul work effectually, I
fear—” he went on muttering, as he
raised the lids of the sightless eyes,
and watched the convulsive laboring
of the beautiful bosom as breath came
slowly back under his fostering care.
"She trill pass from one agony to
another before the night is |»ast, and.
ready and close at hand, to claim her!"
though she lives indeed, it will not be
tor long. I doubt. Death is standing,
ready and close- at hand, to-claim her.”
Meantime, on the deck, Herbert
Clare had almost forgotten the girl
whom he had saved from a terrible
fai<-—if, indeed, he had saved her. The
Captain of a ship had enough to do. on
such anight as that, to secure the safety
of hi* vessel and her crew without be
stowing many thoughts on anything
beyond them. For two long hour* the
winds and water* raved, and the
“Saucy Jane” scudded along before
the Kale, now riding high on the crest
of some great wave, now plunging
deep into what seemed like a valley of
black wreck and death, yawning and
eager to ingulf her.

an hour past midnight, when the fury
of the storm began to abate—when
the wind began to wail and sigh,
where formerly it had shrieked and
roared; and the waves, racing after
and around the good ship, seemed to
sob and moan because she had escap

tired. excited, drenched to the skin
with flying foam and spray, hoarse
with shouting orders to the crew—but happy, and proud, and thankful withal
at their escape from tempest and wreck—Captain Clare started as if a
ghost had suddenly appeared to him,
when Ned Searle quietly touched his
arm, reminding him of the incident
that had preceded the storm, and of
his unkown, and as yet. by him, unseen
passenger.
He asked the question in a tone of

And once in the midst of her great

in a tone that pierced my heart. Oh.
