~ZZ~i ero y he sd my friend the Bravery, Doctoi - qi' %th'n, third officer, isn't 'ch simp as you think it. One mas rve on one way, and another in , :ecalled Often enough, that whi7 ig called bravery is nothing more thav custVm. You wouldn't go up on the fo'C-roy' yard in half a gale to reef sfril, 47o9IJ You? Not you! You'd be afraid. Nell, you might think me a brave Jnan because I would. But then I'd be afraid to cut a chap's leg off, and YO0U wouldn't. That was what old Captain Hoskins, whom I used to sail with, could never understand. If a man was a bit nerv ous about the sea, he used to look down on him as all sorts of a coward. But there carn. a day when he learned better. It happened when I was with him in a three-masted sailing-ship, the Arrow. We lay at Singapore, along side Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading 'with a general cargo for Liverpool. The principal object in that cargo was a lion that we were shipping fur London. It lay in a strong cage of wood and iron. with a door in the front through which it could be fed. It was a fine big brute, and every time it stretched itself you could see the muscles slipping over its sides and the big. wicked-looking claws peeping out of the pads of its feet in a way that made you very thankful for the bars. We had a passenger or two, one of whom was a young girl who went by the name of Hilda Sandford. Directly the old man set eyes on her trim figure and her wealth of golden hair, he was struck all of a heap, so to speak, and I could see that he was promising him self a mighty pleasant voyage. The other passenger was a strange, lean. wiry man, who wore gold eye glasses, and kept peering about the sL,.p in a most uncomfortable way. He gave his name as Professor Hay. though we didn't find out what he pro fessed until later. An hour or tw.o before we started this Mr. Hay came up to the old man and began asking him a lot of ques tions. "Captain." he said nervously. "I hope 'we shall have a quiet passage." "I don't see why we shouldn't," said Hoskins genially. Mr. Hay looked up at the sky. "There seems to be a good deal of wind about," he said. "Pretty fair,'' said Hoskins. "That's . 1 .g'ng *-hdke us home. Not Ibeing a steamer, we can't do without :lt. "You're sure It's quite safe?" asked Hay. "Safe!" says the old man, getting on his high horse, "safe! I'm sailing this ship." The Professor smiled apologetically. "You will excuse me, Captain." he ~said, "I did not mean any oience'.

"A brave man and a pretty woman are two of the finest sights in creation. They ought always to be together. There was something In his tone that made her blush, and though she agreed w1th him. she took the first opportunity of -learing off to another part of the deck. Shortly afterwards we put to seA, For the noxt few days we had the best ,weather, and everything went smoothLy. I could see one or two things thlaf set me thinking. The first was that the old man was making htimself pncommiioniy attentive to Miss sandford. The second was that Mr. Elay, in a qltiet and timid sort of way, was thinking a' good deal of her too. For my part, I thought the girl fancied Hay rather than Hoskins: and though she couldn't avoid the "old man," and could not help listening to his sea yarns, I could see her eyes turning forwards towards the waist, where Hay was putting In his time looking at the lion. One afternoon the skipper was sit ting beside Miss Sandford on the poop deck, when Hay came up the com panion and made his way towards them. "There's something I want to tell you, Captain." he said. "It's getting on my mind and making me quite un comfortable. That man whose busi ness it is to look after the lion isn't doing his work properly. The animal isn't getting enough food. It Is de veloping a savage nature. And yester day, when I went to see the raan about it, I found that he was intoxicated. I really think you should interfere." Of coursn the "old man" should have interfered. JBut he didn't like being told his duty by the little Pro fessor, especially when the girl was about, so he just sneered. "I a. pose you're afraid of the beast escaping'?' he said. "I .should certainly regard it as un fortunate," the littl.e man replied. "You see. a drunke' man might he careless about the fastenings. I must really insist upon your speaking to iM." "He's not one of my crew," said Hoskins. "I have enough to do to look after them. If any of them get drunk, they'll hear of it. But this chap W g passenger. even if he Is only a steerage one. He can do as he likes with his spare time. If you're so darned frightened about the beast, you'd better look to the fastenings yourself." "Excuse me," said the Professor stiffly. "that is not my business. The animal does not belong to me. I have done what I believe to be my duty and can say no more." He turned away without even a glance at the girl. "That man." said loskins. looking after him, "Is frightened of his own [ STRAIGHT BETWEEN THE EYS" shidow. ILet me give you at lit of fatherly advice. Miss Sandford. WXhen ou are looking for a man to marry. never select a cow~ard. A "irn like you w ant~ someone 'who wi 11ll rotect her in im of dang~er: someone s.he can rely on and look up to. "I'm not thinking of getting mar ried." she said shyly. "lBut when I do. 'll bear your advice in mind. Cap~taim. "That's it." said Hloskins. "Think over it carefully. And as for getting married. I'd be glad if you'd think over that too." he started. with a fri;ghtened look. "Oh. Captain:" she said. "Please "Miss Sand1ford!" he said. "Hilda! haven't you a word for a poor old sea man who worships the very ground you tread on? Think over it. None but the brave deserve the fair. vou "You mustn't speak like this." she eclaimed, rising as though she were ditressed. "You are older than I am. and I don't know that you are a brave man. I have only your word for it. Please don't speak to me about this The "old man" saw that he had gone too far. "Waitr' he said. "don't be frightened. I promise niot to saIy a word until we reach England. Before e ge.. thri we have a bit of mnou weather, I'll show you the sort man I an. I should love a bit of da ger for your sake." About a week la.ter, the girl w sitting on the pocp-deek, reading book. The "old man" was marchiz up and down with a quarter-deck tr< casting glances at her and thinkli how pretty she was when suddenly I uttered a howl that would have frigh ened an elephant and sprang into tb port mizzen rigging. I was near t the time, and I looked at him, wonde ing whether he had gone mad. The I saw what he had seen, and I went n to the starboard mizzen shrouds a quickly as he had gone up the po; ones.- The girl raised her head an looked up at the Captain and he gape down at her and tried to shout. Bu for some time he could only mak face. "Look! look!" he yflled at las "come up the rigging! The lion 1 loose!" She sprang 'to her feet and looke about her. Not four yards away fron her the lion was playing with a co of rope, the terrible claws alternate. exposing and sheathing themselves The creature was paying no sort o attention to the girl at the moment but of course it might take it Into It head to spring on her at any instan1 As she stood, she was cornered be tween the stern of the ship and th cabin door. There was nothing to b done but to climb up the rigging She tried, but the first step was to high, and she could not manage it when she realized that, I thougLt sh was going to faint. Hoskins was just going down t give her a hand, but at that momen the lion looked up and saw hin and lashing its tail gave a mufflet roar. The " old man" stuck where h was then, and sort of shivered all ore like a jelly. As f'-r the girl. she moane despairingly, and gave herself up fa lost. Just then-out of the cabin cam Professor Hay, He took one look around and sav the lion. ThenI he picked up a broot that someone who had been washin decks had left leanIng against th deck-house, and pushed at the li with it, looking it straight between th eye He kept walking forward, pus: ing the beast gently before him righ into the watst and bao into its eage in spite of several ugly snaras. Whe: he had it safely fastened In, he cam astern again, looking not the least bl excited or worried, and put the broon earefully back in its place. The gir %vas ooking hard at him, and her eye were shining; but he didn't seem t be aware of it. Captain Hoskins ha come dowil the rigging and was look ing a trifle ashauied of pimself. Hi 44dn't known it was so easy to pus! lions Into their cage with 'a broom After a bit he spoke up. "That was a fine bit of work, Sir.' 2e said. "If I hadn't seen it, I couldn' iave believed it." "Oh, it's nothing," said the Pro ressor. "'It was my business. I havc tar'ed wild animals." After that he seemed to dismiss th( whole subject from his mind, and wen lown into the cabin. But I saw him !4ter in the evening, talking to tha -irl, and he must have hM sometihin important to say to her, for w~hen tlb "old man" met her next morning an: began making excuses for' luimself she cut him short. "Captain Haskins," she said, "d you remember advising me to Drr; a brave man ?" "I do." said Hoskins, a bit' puzzled "'Well," she said softly, "he askei me yesterday; and I'm going to tak your advice." All of which shows you, Doctor, tha bravery is very much'a nmatter of cus tomn.

This Exceptional Story, Hiighiy Ilius trated, Will Start in the Next Iasu of This Magazine Section-Be Sur of Your Subscription, so as Nc to Miss the First Chapters. We have arranged for the publ cation in 15 issues, of the thrillin story of love and adventure, "Th White Company," by Sir A. Cona Doyle. author ot Micah Clarke. Th Study in Scarlet, Sign of the Four, an the Shorter Sherlock Holmes Detectiv Stories. "The White Company", to writ whic~h Mr. Doyle read 123 contenr porary books, is a tale of the battle of England's Knight Errants, her ri doubtable men-at-arais and her woi drous long-bowmen, during the perio when nil France was harried by th famous Black Prince. In those time: when gunpowder was just coming t be us~d in a crude form, the Englis long-bowman could send his gra goose shaft, with deadly effect, a diF tanc of 420 yards, or practically quarter of a mile. The bows we! made of yew, tough and springy, an the arrows were of ash, long, an feathered and straight. "So we toast all together To the gray goose feather And the land where the gray goos flew." The White Company is the sequel 1 Mr. Doyle's great story, Sir Nigel. f< which he received Twenty-five Tho1 sand Dollars. In presenting the revised "Whi1 Company" we are offering our man readers one of the most stirring an powerful stories written by any moi ern author.

Lg t, This year has its share of fads and g frills quite as much as any that are e past and these a-e used with no small t- degree of art and precision. One e might almost think that the days of L barbarism had returned so wide and 7 fervid Is the era ze for beads, buckles and bracelets, were it not for the fact that each article which is donned gains that distin2tion by reason of its harmony or contrast. Color plays a great part in -he present sartorial drama and the fashionable woman is t always seeking for effect in its -ise. Beads In the fcrm of necklace are worn in all color- and they are used to further accentuate some color tone in , the costume. The necklace worn with s the lingerie blouse is often chosen to match the hat and gloves, or to offer . a becoming note -of contrast to a mono 1 tone ensemble. A girl of to-day does 1 not own one necklace but a dozen. some of them ecpensive but the ma jority costing from $2 to $5 each. f Some very beau-ful shades of green and amethyst ai e ,en in these beads. i while amber is returned to favor with a vengeance. - Among the prettiest necklaces re 3 cently seen are those of shell from i Honolulu with :oloring of wondrous beauty. They come in all of the > pastel shades, while the bl)ue-grays, greens, pale yellows and o1: rose are a beautifully comlined. The shells are very small and :live with color. The y necklaces are often long enough to t wind several times about the neck. , atplis, too, are causing consider i able Interest this year. appearing in . all manner of fantastic shapes and in r rare colorings.

Some very dainty heads of Dresden china are hand painted and tinted witlh the delicate colors for wear with the t white and flower. hat;, f-iryng' out this idea of artistic adornment are the flowers of soft satin ribbon which trim many dainty frocks and bats, The gloss of the rib bon as well as its softness and ex quisite shadlng give to the blossoms of ribbon a rare beauty which is sel dom seen in those of silk or velvet. Rare little bunches of violets or wild roses made of satin ribbon are fre quently worn'ai bodice decoration in stead of the real flowers, and while they prov0 gn ct'ellent suggestion of the flowers them:iselves, they have the added charm o: not crushing and of beingplways fresh, A lady of fashion recently sailing for Europe carried several beautifrl little corsage boquets of this kind.
