And so tlu! captain went nn.
Nnw, Captain Sprowl wis not, ns you
might think from tlio name, a bald
headed old innn with bushy whiskers.
No; iiiiiuch lire very misleading. Instead,
lie was tall and slouder, with n
randy mustache, and had not a gray
linir in Ids head Ho came from Maine,
and although but thirty years old, ho
had been for six years captain or the
Edna Dunn, now lyiug at Constitution
wharf, in Boston, discharging her cargo
of sugar.
"Well," pulled the captain, "nothing
to do now but to get rid of the old sextant.
1 should go ashore next time if I
mid two sextants to navigate by. Muvt
work the old oil on sonic landlubber or
soincbod v."
The package was lying on an old newspaper
which he hud read through and
thr-nigh on his last trip out.
" I he very thing!" said lie. "I'll put
a notice in the paper?'Sextant for sale,
cheap,' and if somebody don't bite at
it, 1 miss my guess."
The next morning the only thing the
captain could see in the paper was this:
Sextant foraalo by a slop captain, iuirlv
11 civ an I in pjrfect orler; will l>j sjII
cheap. AiliirussO,, 41 (Slob; oHieo.
And now my story's begun.
lCtta Bourne had been at work in a
millinery tore in Boston for nearly two
years. She and her older sister Annio
had learned the trade with the village
milliner down in Kennebunk.
lint Annie, who had long been the
belle of tin village, got married, and
Kit a concluded to try her fortuuo in
Boston.
She was full of ambition.
So it fell that in her two years in tho
millinery store she stu lie 1 shorthand
an 1 ty| e vriting, with tbc intention oi
i. img lierseb* to lit u confidential dark.
Oa Sua lay she saw this advertisement
:
For Sa!> ? Frontier Typewriter at
hali price, be at use 1 less than a in anth; in
perfect on hi*. Addres-. < I? Globe otli.-e,
ICtta Bonnie, being a Maine Yankee,
knew a bargain when she saw it. She
wanted to own a typewriter, and so she
wrote a brief note addres-e I to "O., 47
(Jlobc (hiice," a king where the machine
could by v01.11, and dropped it. into the
letter box as she went to work Monday
morning.
No.v, ! -aid at the beginning that the
imvri. -nig i' "in was to OiMait*. IVrli;i|
tin- mi. t ike was put11 y that of Ktt?
Bonne. At any rale it will never he
knuwr.
The clerk wn; ?ortin^ the replies ami
putting thotn in their apropriatu boxes.
W'iion he t.on" to Kttn Bourne's letter to
i). 17," ! ?. lead it "O. 11" and put it
in the pigeonhole as such.
That was a very, very little mistake,
of course, But sou who have noticed
how things go ;u this world of ours have
discovered tha* the most serious changein
the course of our lives co;uj about
from just sin it little happenings,
Foi it w;t< that very day that Captain
Sprowl advertised his sextaut for sale.
Anrl Captain Sprowl was "O 41."
Kflw the tali captain was a very busy
rutin, nnfT it w;-j Fate that afternoon befote
he went to the office to gather in
the replies from people who wctc anxious
to buy a sextant.
Hut the - extant market was apparently
rather dull, for all tho clerk could
give him wut one solitary letter. The
captain tore the envelope open and tossed
it aside.
"1 saw your advertisement in the
Globe," rend the captain. "I wish to
buy a good " Oond-hand machine of
t'uidar I make, and if the one you offer
if in perfect repair and the prion is satisfactory,
pet haps ?\e can trade. But. 1
cannot give uiore than $5.1, and it you

?Hi . - .1

'Well," toliloquiied the captain
"IV# got ooc answer, anyhow. Bu
what docs a woman want of a sextant?
for this is certainly a woman's writing'
She seems to be in earnest though.
And #50! Conscience! I never exW'

she'll have to come on board, I suppose,
so I'll send her tuy address." And
standing at the public desk be wrote:

Edna Dunn, Constitution wharf, ???tw?*n 1
and 9. Edwix H. Sprowl, Captain.
The next afternoon about 4 o'clock i
trim little llgure walked rapidly over th<
rough planks of Constitution wharf.
"It's a 'jueur placj to find ? second
hand typewriter," thought Etta Bourne
"but I suppose the captaiu got tired o
if, or couldn't use it because the verse
pitched so, or something like that."
She saw the gilt letters, "Klnr
Dunn." A hit, bald headed man withi
little gingham apron on looked out tie
door of a box-like houio in tiio iniddb
of the vessel.
A broad plank extended fro.n tin
wharf acrors'the buTwnrks. The man it
the apron came forward.
"I wish to see Captain Sprowl," said
she.
"Yis, mini. Come right aboard, mini
on that there plank, mini. The captnii
is down in his cabin, iiiitn."
Etta Bourne stepped hastily along the
plank, and the stout cook, putting hi?
iirond palms under her elbows, lifted he
lightly to the deck.
"This way, mini," ami lie led hoi
around to the after-compnnionwny.
They went down the hrass-railw
ttaire, nnd as the cook knocked at th<
door Etta noticed how spick and spai
everything looked.
As a matter of fact tho captain, I:
vTbw of tile way's visit, Tla?T kept tti
cook scoui ing tlic wood ami brasswor
all the forenoon.
"Captain, sir, a lady wishos to si
ye."
llio captain, with half an hours wor
in his four-in-hand, bowed rcspec
fully.
"I nm Miss Bourne," began Ktta. 1
j came in response to your a Ivcrtisoinou
in tho Globe about a?"
J "Yes, ina'ain," said the captain, "thi
i is the place. Will you tako a seat?"
As Ktfn sank into an easy chair st
glanced about her in astonishment. 8h
had no idea that theso littlo low house
on ship's deck was so comfortablo a
this.
llere was a dainty littlo sitting room
with a rich, soft carpot, a hanging lam
of elaborate design, hugo plush eas
chairs and sofa, a pretty rattan rocke
and a table strewu witii tho latcs
niugaxincs.
nT beg your pardon," said tho tn
captain, who hud been looking curiousl
at her; "but are you not related to Mis
Annie Bourne, of Kcnnchunk V
"Why, yes, iudec 1, she is my ow
lister," answered Kttii, with animation
"1 used to go to school with her i
(lie old llerwiek Academy,years ago; in
I didn't know she had a sister."
"Oh, yes, I went to the academy my
self, but it was after she was graduated.
"And was old Brown principal who
you were there?"
From this they went on for ten min
utes, and each knew so many that th
other did that they soon became old acquaintances.
The captain at once noticed that sin
was a remarkably neat an 1 pleasant lit11<
woman, and Ktta Bourne thought th
I 1
! captain a line looking man, tall an<
' strong.
"Well ( inliiin Snrnivl." uiiiil alio
* * ?? -? -I" I ?v
| finally, "I iiiu n't forget what I cam
j for. I believi! you have a machine tba
J you wish to sell?"
i "Why, captain, won
tiering what on earth this attractiv
young woman could want of a sextant
"Ami bow did you eoiuo to want t
sell it," puruio I she, wondering wlui
u-e this soa-captaiu had for a typewrite!
"Well, (lie fact is," said the captain
reddening a lit'le. "1 bought a new on
the other day when 1 really didn't nee
it, and of course, I haven't use for two
And," continued he, "since tuin aboi
is fair play, 1 am going to a^k you ?vlu
you want of one?"
"To earn a living with," said she.
The eaptaiu looked pu//.!e I as he won
into the stateroom to get the sextan!
He had heard that women were becomin
the rivals of men in almost every trad
! and profession, and be vaguely wondere
if Miss Bourne was intending soniotim
'.<> become t'iptain Bourne.
"Well," paid he, coining track an
holding iho sextant out towards hci
"here it is. The ivory on the scale is
lit tie yellow, and the vernier glass has
little crack across the other c-lge, but ?
Me stopped. Miss B rume was hob
mg up her hands iti a-nn/. nneut.
"Why?why?what is this?"' bI
stammered.
"Why, it's a sextant," said the oaf
fain. "I thought you knew what tha
looked like."
"Hut there's some misunderstand
here. 1 don't have any u;o fur a sextant
It was a typewriter that I understood
1 you ha I to sell."
"A typewriter,"sai?l the eaptniu oston
i ishel in turn. "Why, no. Here's th
; advertisement," and iie put the paper i
i her hands.
Wow, as I have said, Ktta Bourne wa
a Maine Yankee, nud in less than te
I recouds she bud guest ed how the inistak
: occurred.
"Well, now," said the captain. "
; thought it was awful funny that a womn
should want to buy a sextant. Now yo
have disappointel ine, I don't see how
am going to sell it, unless I ieave it t
the instrument maker's and let him ge
j what he can for it."
Oddly enough, from this point thi
story runs along so nature. !y that you cat
tell it yourself.
The tall captain esc >rtcd Miss Bourn
up town, called on her two oi three time
while lie was in port, corresponded witl
her when he was away, and in less thai

Of

, ja ihould he in tlie summer outfit of every

being finished with a llonnce of the

sag?
has coat-tails, a velvet collar and revers o'
the woolen .material. The vest may b?
Igh' buttoned to the corsage. The sleeves have
^ flftring vol vet cuffs. Such ft costume as this
l)eH comes in very well for knockabout service
vith during t he summer, ami its masculine charJcj[
?cteristies give it a neatness and tiimnos?
very becoming to a good figure. With it
mnv be worn a tourist's hat in rough straw,
as nearly as possible of the same sh ide as
the dress. In no one particular do s the
well dressed woman show her good taste in
always wearing the right sort of a gown on
v the right occasion than when traveling or
moving about in public places. There is a
great deal in this. It enables her to preserve
h- r nervout equilibrium under trying
circumstances. It <s astonishing how some
women begin to fret and fume the moment
they set out on a Journey. I attribute it
hugely to the fact that tbev are not properly
dressed, tliey nre too warmly clad, or they
wear n dress that wrinkles or spots easily,
> and before they have gone 50 miles they
? present nn untidv and mussed up appear
ance. Not so with (he woman who is attired
in a neat and suitable traveling dress.
Nothing disturbs her serenity. The very
dust refuses to stiek to her, and at the end
of her journey she alights from the train
with a sin le that is comforting to 'ook
upon. Her friends welcome her with great
cordiality, for they feel instinctively that
she will tit into the household and add to
th< the general comfort of all.
and ?{her hand, the woman who is
owr sweltering in a heavy and unsuitable dress
loses her temper, her satchel, her baggage
' checks and her pat-ence, and usually suc>na'
coeds in robbing other people of much of
their comfort. I once knew a woman who
?v,! made a hOO-mile trip in a black velvet dress
jCU trimmed with black lire, There was not a
jVf* person in the same car who did noi heave a
aoe sigh of relief when she reached her destina"J"
tioii: they had been made thorougly iincoma."5
fortable by her restlessness and peevishr'a'
ness. She had averaged 10 questions
and IS complaints for each half hour,
>ow and even then it had been necessary to
,e3< toss her black hag out of the window to
in her.

park wagon running without horses.
(j' The wagon was equipped by the Presi1

00 a three-horse power motor and h twenty*

can climb any grade in Chicago.
