A frightful loneliness, an awful hopelessness, came over us." "It?they did." "Yet you were brave, so brave!" She looked at me admiringly. What could I say? I waved a hand carelessly, and smoothed my" tie. "While there's life there's hope," I murmured. "You bade me keep up my courage Ah, I needed your comfort then! Life was very empty for a while.

"Maybe she's a training-ship," I suggested. Helen blinked. "Starvation stared us " "You said that once." "With a groan you covered your face with your hands " "Yes, yes," I cried. "Then, like a flash, I remembered that in the captain's cabin I had seen a box of beefsteak and onions. With an exclamation of joy I dashed headlong down the companionwny. The box was still there. Seizing a large, thick steak, I hurried to the galley " "You're quite wrong," interrupted Helen, inexorably. "Hunger has gone to your brain. You've had nothing to eat for three days, and " "No, no, please! Not three days! One, if you must, but not " "For thrco weary days," she insisted. I groaned aloud and passed a trembling hand across the front of my shirt. It was true! The pangs of hunger were already biting. I looked longingly toward the shore. "But that was not the worst!" "Stop, stop!" I beseeched. "The next day we drank the last of our meagre store of water. Then : indeed Death hovered nigh." "Tell me one thing," I begged, in broken whispers.

Helen looked across at me pityingly, ; and shook her head. With an anguished cry I hid my face in my hands. 1 "We found the cask stove in and the bottles broken to atoms." "Did we?" I muttered, vacantly. "I had forgotten." "Without food and water " "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink!" I gibbered. "For three days we have drifted over 1 a cruel, glassy sea, under a burning, pitiless sky." "Pitiless sky," I echoed, with parched 1 lips. "And yet?and yet through it all ; there lias been one thing to comfort us, one bright spot in the darkness of despair." I looked toward her eagerly. "I 1 knew it! I knew it! There was one bottle saved! He had hidden it in his bunk!" , "Hush!" she said. I sank back again, weak and dispirited. "And that," she continued, with a wrapt, dreamy expression in her eyes, "and that was our love for each other." "Eh?" "And that was our love for each other," repeated Helen, softly. "Oh?er?yes; that, of courser* I said, hurriedly. "What though we had known each other less than a fortnight? Love " "What though?" I murmured. "Love is not horn of time.-" It may blossom in a day, an hour, a minute." "A second!" "So with our love." She paused, and looked dreamily over the sea. Was she, too, thinking of luncheon? But no. "We loved each other at first sight." "We did," I affirmed, heartily. Helen faltered; her eyelids fluttered; a tinge of pink crept over her hungerpallid cheeks. "Yet you would never have spoken had not Fate thrown us alone together here thousands of miles from shore." I glanced startledly towards the beach. It was not there! .In a panic my eyes swept the horizon. Thank heaven! It was over my left shoulder! The tide had swung the dory around. "For there was a gulf between us," Helen continued. "I was an heiress, and you were merely a second officer." "Oh, I say!" I demurred. "But danger brought us together. Position, wealth, all else was forgotten. We loved each other; that was enough." "Quite," I said, with satisfaction. "There, with the tempest howling In our ears, tossed about by the angry waves, alone on the ocean, the-seal of silence was broken. Danger drew us together. You spoke. Wrapped in each others' arms, for a time all was forgotten. Love held our souls." "Eh?did I?that is, web, did I kiss you?" "No," said Helen sharply. "Oh." I considered. "Not even one tiny, little kiss?" "No." Helen considered. "Well, I perhaps one very, very small one," she allowed. | "I thought I remembered it," I an swered, brightly. "And did you? J er " ! "But then came the awakening," she hurried on. "Oh, we woke up?" I asked. "Suddenly a gust of wind forced us apart " "Cruel wind!" I sighed, dolorously. "And with a loud report the sail was torn into ribbons.' "A ribbon sale^'" I inquired. "The rain fell in torrents, the lightning flashed across the sky. .At the mercy of the elements, our frail bark was borne onward at awful speed. Suddenly above the sound of wind and i wave the roaring of the surf upon the i shore reached our ears. The moment of supreme peril was at hand! A flash of lightning, more intense than any heretofore, lighted up the scene. Before us, scarce a cable's length away, rose a towering cliff of jagged rock.

Houses Are Matle Far From Where They Will Stand. Many of the great steel structures that are being built in every city are planned and modelled iu some distant city?like the material for Solomon's temple of old?hundreds of miles away. ' It Is in some rolling mill town of Pennsylvania that most of the gigantic frameworks for the modern skyscrapers are built. All that remains is to put them together and the building rises up like a house of blocks. Every piece is fitted together and , numbered before it Is taken away from the steel mill. So exact are the measurements that not even the drilling of 1 a'hole is ncessary for fitting the rivets which fasten the plates nud girders I' together. The watchlike precision with I' which these parts are made was shown in the construction of one of these buildings which is*noj.v being erected in Chicago. . t I One of the large cross girders was missing in the framework of the second ( floor, and though it did not interfere with the placing of the framework on all sides and above it,.the contractor was worried to know- what had become of it. When the framework had grown ' as high as the sixth or seventh story and the missing piece had not been found around the railroad yards or heard of from any other source, he wrote to the steel mill, describing it ' as closely as possible, ordering that it 1 be duplicated. " J By the return mail he received tho following reply: "As ground space is more valuable in 1 Chicago than here in the country we < are storing missing girder for you. We < know that you would need a steel der- ] rick on that floor, and kept the girder out so you would have room. Will ship i it after the remaining stories have been S completed." i The mill men had figured correctly oli '1 the building hundreds of miles away, i and the girder could not have been placed in positron, even if It had been on the grounds, on account of the der?

Columns could be written on the pathetic struggles of the woman who travels to stow her wearing apparel away in the coffin-like confines of a lower berth. Any right-minded woman prepares to shed tears when she thinks of the next morning state of her traveling skirt. Time was when porters looked after such things, and could be induced to preserve garments over-night in mysterious places, but these days, on nine sleeping cars out of ten, the porter is instructed to inform you that ho can't be responsible for anything Intrusted to liim. These things being as they are, I feel that I owe a debt of gratitude to a lady? , name to me unknown?who showed me how to dispose of a whole wardrobe in a sleeping car. She travels a great deal, she In- ; formed me, and she never leaves home ! without at least a dozen of the big safety pins and hook combinations , that people use to attach curtain rings ?I forget the technical term for them, if I ever knew it.

Slie said the idea was all her own and that It was the greatest comfort in the world to know that every-. , thing was hanging up neatly, just as It would be at home.

Washington Post. s^. . -i - * .. f ' *&**? - How the Sparrows The sparrows in the squares have two ways of taking a bath, that is, two Ways one can discover in a tenminute's loaf around the fountain?, says a writer in the New York Evening Post. The first is to fly through the spray as it falls from the fountain. The second is slower and much prettier. A little chap flies to a lily leaf on the top of the water, and his tiny weight makes the leaf sink, just a little, so that it becomes- a miniature bath-tub with enough water in it to reach the bird's feathers. The longer the sparrow stays in his bath-tub the deeper his bath gets, for the leaf keeps on sinking with his weight. After some fussing of beak and flapping of wings, and much tossing about of water, away he flies and his bath-tub comes back to the surface again. To Achieve Success.

United States, the great convention of 1 American teachers In Boston paid espe- ( cial attention to manual training. The j j distinguished experts who discussed j this subject before the convention did not allow manual training to run away | with all training, but they conceded L that in an industrial society and in a j J powerful commercial age like the pres. ent the education of the senses is of j pre-eminent importance. Hence the , value of drawing to discipline the eye, and of manual training to discipline the j sense of touch, and the nervous and muscular systems were favorably rec- j ognized. The commercial course, the manual 1 training course and the art course do j i not necessarily draw essential attention j 1 from other branches if the time be j * properly utilized, because these new i 1 ~,-rtof tlm miml nnd thus ' I'UUiarj ivoi kuv uouvi - economize time. But these new courses 1 also develop aptitudes which under the ( old system would have been quite dor-! i mant but for the opportunities fur- j < nished in rural communities in ihe ! i form of manual training under parental ; 1 control. 1 As this is an age of tools, it is essen- \ tial that manual training be developed ^ in the use of power tools. In all proba- 1 bility the electric motor, moving power tools, will be more generally introduced ] in the next decade in the public schools | i than is now in evidence. The rocogui- j ( tion by our teachers of the importance j i of manual training is cue of the hap- j piest signs of the times. ; The variety of things to bo done and the relative oversupply of people in the learned professions, and tb > undersupply of men and women in the scientific professions, show that our 1 schools need to be adjusted to the present conditions of the industry of j the age. That the teachers of the United ' States are keenly alive to this demand is a happy omen for the generation that is now passing through the public schools.

Spools .From Pnlp The process of making spools from pulp has been iu course of development for the past two years, and many obstacles have had to be overcome, before the spool was perfected. It was comparatively, easy, says the Hartford ' Courant, to mould the spool into the proper form, but. after It had become dry -and hard the difficulty . was to grind or turn it into the proper size to hold the required amount of thread. This trouble has now been overcome. Pulp will be used only for the large size of spools, as it is not practical to make the smaller sizes of that material Many of the large spools are nearly four inches in diameter, and up to the present time they have been made of Wood. When they were first made they were turned from a single piece of wood, but it was discovered that in many cases the pressure of the thread as it was wound on the spool would push the head off the barrel, although it was the same piece of Wood. In order to remedy this diffinnltr. it became necessary to make the large spools from three pieces, the barrel and two heads, and when the heads were closely fitted to the barrel and glued, they were found to remain better than when they were one piece of wood. What He Might Save. Members of the budget committee, says the London Chronicle, have been relating some, amusing anecdotes at a recent; meeting, with a view of illustrating that economy is not always practised with as much care as could ! be wished. A former minister of war j was the hero of one. This officer liav- : ing been asked whether he could not contrive to cut his estimates down a i little, promptly replied that the thing I , was impossible. "Now, tell us i frankly," continued the politician who j Was interrogating him on the subject, "if you were to be condemned to be j shot, if you could not immediately ! realize some savings without disor- j ganizing any of your services, what would you do?" "Well, in &ueh a case ; I think that I could dispense with j 50,000,000 francs," was the candid i answer. Objectionable Politeness.

Of the navy of one of the oldest of old countries, China, very little Is mown. That China was once much nterested in sea affaire is, however, jertain. It is said, that long before my other people, the Chinese knew something of the wonders of the lodestone, and even if the mariner's compass was not invented by them, their cnowledge of the magnet was certainly sufficient to aid them in navigating :heir ships, and helped to extend their :rading, and probably their battles, nto strange waters. So the Chinese were bold voyagers ages ago. un :heir cruisers' bows was painted an iye to denote watchfulness; and red, i sacred color to them, was displayed n strips of cloth which decorated the various parts of their ship. Chinese enterprise on the sea unfortunately received a death blow from >ne of their own weak and self-loving monarchs, who forbade his subjects to :ruise in waters outside of the China Sea, for fear they should learn in their travels any ideas which might lead them to rebel against his tyrannical government. He also ordered, rain" and unwise man that he was, that all vessels should be made in the shape of his imperial foot! Alas, poor ships! this strange shape destroyed all seaworthy qualities, and any ambition in the direction of a Chinese navy was for the time extinguished.?From "Some Ancient Fleets" in St. Nicholas. .
