HOW EVE MANA HER SEC With Accumulated Expe to Manage?Courtii Same as ai*qyv> Hiort thp rerord tells us: !i nuaui u*vv?, ,, but no account is given of Eve's! death. The story of her life closes 1 with the birth of Seth. Maybe Eve j ] married again?married one of those j4 mysterious "sons of God," about < whom the book tells us. I am in- '< clined to believe she had a right to a < second chance. Her first matrimonial i venture had not been a blooming : success. Adam had seen fit to trace J > back to her every family trouble, i With all her added knowledge and ? experience, she felt sure she could do 1 better the next time. One day, she i ? . went off in the brush, sat on a rock, 1 and began to work her mind?thus? ? ' "If it isn't good for the man to be 1 I alone, why is it good for me? There * was always something wanting about 1 Adam. I had an idea it was his ? missing rib. He said it wasn't?that s * in taking me from his side, so little l was taken that he didn't feel it. T , l When he had aches and pains, i usea i to ask him if his side hurt him, and '( he always answered in italics with a!1 snap, 'No!' I saw he was trying to j3 belittle me. One day, he growled, \s 'If a dozen women like you were j > taken from my side I'd still be a full'( i. j man.' That was his conduct. Adam jT always was mighty conceited, and 1 was powerful stuck up in his ways." |T So, Eve went back to her shack 1 there on the border of the land of Havilah. He mind was full of the c new scheme. Under the shade of a J terebinth was Abel's grave. Cain i was out and gone, a wanderer on the face of the earth. Eve had now also j % the double office of mother-in-law, * I for Seth had brought in a woman one day, saying she was his wife. Eve looked at her with big eyes. ^ She stood in doubt about this other woman. Most women do. ' * ' :* ' Jr When early autumn came she diked j , out in her deer-skin hobble skirt, and ! j > told Seth to look after the chickens, c that she was going on a visit. Her I r mind had been made up. She was j t going out to look around?to find a j f husband, perhaps. Some women have J \ - an aptitude for this sort of business. \ Eye was one of them. She hadn't J t ^ gone many miles before she came i j upon a man?just a mere man?de- j >] scending from an apple tree. She j s J^^ o finrivanient hush, hut ! > U'JUgCU UC111UU ?, vv/u. , , left enough of her person unconcealed to enable the man to see her. That's an ancient trick. Seeing but a small part of her made the man anxious to see the whole. Man has always had that failing. So, the man she had found drew nigh to her. What kind of courtship they had, we must guess at, and pass on. We ^ , are in a hurry to get this second husband back home to the land of Havilah. But we may rest assured that it was just like all the court- 1 ships of to-day and to-morrow?two strangers who vainly imagined they ( knew each other entered into a com- 1 pact to have things common between them. Eve was mighty proud of the 1 * new ring on her finger. Adam had 1 never seen fit to give her one. { The wedding cake was barely cold before Eve began to reason out the proper course for her to pursue. She said, "This new man of mine needs " teaching. I caught him out yonder in the brush. I must begin at once to hedge him about with wisdom." And so she held up the lamp of the past 1 full in the face of the present. She shined his eyes, so to say. 1 This new husband, we may say, w^s named Heber. One day when he < came in, she brewed him a pot of J coffee, fetched his corn-cob pipe, sat j J ' on his knee, ran her hc.nd through ^ his hair, and began? j j* "Heber, much depends on getting { , started right. I want you to go out ( right now and kill all the snakes j about the premises. We'll never : have any trouble if the sources of 2 trouble are put away." Then she T kissed him, and told him all about the snake she had met in Eden?the i beast that ruled her, and how her ^ first husband had refused to shield t her. "Yes," she said, "it was mighty f t mean in Adam. He denied laying i ^ the blame on me, but I heard him ? say 4The woman whom thou gavest j me, she gave me of the tree, and I i did eat it.' I never could quite forcri-tro AHam far that t.hinar. I don't L feel that I'm bound to do it. It wa9 his duty to clean out the snakes? not mine. May be, Heber, it will 'y be best for you to plant no fruit trees. If that fruit had grown on the ground I should never have wanted it, snake or no snake. But it was up a tree. I had to climb for it. The fact that it was hard to get made me want it the more. I think it will be the best, Heber, to plant no fruit > trees?just plant grain and vines and things that don't require any climb GED :OND HUSBAN1 irience She Knew H< ig in Olden Times i Now. ng." About a week after that, while 5er was putting on his shirt, poked him in the ribs and s 'Adam could never stand that, ilways flinched and yelled. He i weak place in his ribs, the p Dut of which I was taken. He i t didn't amount to much, but 1 \ r'ou could have seen him jump w [ pointed my finger at his ribs, really glad I didn't come out of j side. I was always handicap vith Adam. He was forever tel He about my humble origin? le had one rib too many any ^ md I was made out of that. I st t as long as I could. One day nade me real mad, and I told f I could crawl back into his rhaky side, I'd give him eno strength in his ribs to lend som< lis backbone. Adam was mij vishy-washy about the way he ' want you to remember, Hebe iidn't come out of your side, nay call me what you please, rou can't say I'm just one of 5 spare ribs." That evening Heber stood on idge of the field thinking?"1 voman knows lots. But I've mar ler. A man who marries a wor vise widow may as well make up nind to take his medicine." As vent back home he cried out f he gate, "Is supper ready, Hone she said, "Yes, come in." And t lad honey for supper.

The big freighter Naronic was one of those boats whose fate the inso- ( lence of the Atlantic kept secret, c says the Philadelphia Ledger. The t Naronic on the day of her launch- s ing was the largest and strongest v ship of her class in all of the mer- t chant navies. Twin screws, then an ? innovation in freighters, gave her t He- tremendous power. Eight bulkheads I Eve were counted as the perfect protec;aid, tion for her hu-1. The biggest, saf- r He est, swiftest sea carrier was what t had shipping men called her. The Nar- a lace onic made six round trips from Liv- t said erpool to New York, justirying tne e vish boasts of her owners on each trip, t hen Then one day in February she nosed t I'm out of her berth on the Mersey full I our laden and fully manned, bound for r >ped New York. Capt. William Roberts ling was her commanding officer; a crew p said of 60 worked her, and 14 cattlemen p vay, were booked as passengers. The 5,- p ;ood 780-ton ship was weeks overdue I he when the first whisper of disaster fc him came shifting in from the Atlantic, t old The British steamer Coventry put t ugh into Bremen, out of Fernandina, t 3 to with word that when about 500 S jhty miles southeast of St. Johns, New- c did. foundland, it had one morning r, I passed a lifeboat, riding bottom up t You on the long swell. The name on s but the stern of the capsized boat was s rour hidden by the wrater. Later on the a same day the Conventry passed a r the second lifeboat, floating upright, but t 7hat almost awash.

No other trace s ;hey of the Naronic was found until five c and months later, when another of her ^ lich lifeboats was pickea ap off Azores, j , as This, too, was empty, says Harper's o iear Monthly. \ t say, Steamship men tried to reconstruct and the moment of disaster that had blot- c a ill ted from sight this biggest and safest e boat <^f her class. The place where d the Coventry had sighted the drifting s lifeboat was approximately 1,200 t 5 as miles northeast of New York and 25 g ihil- miies south of the eastbound winter t *r*5e track across the Atlantic. There t ?m" could not have been a collision, because no other boat plying in the W vicinity had been missed, not even a ^ Banks fisher. Icebergs had not been iave sighted on the winter track, subsen^s? quently it was not probable that the el?' ill-fated steamer had rammed one in *n" a fog or snow squall.
