Ho did not think of him
self; he had resolve4 to die, and li
felt a bitter joy in not sacrtficing hi
life uselessly, by a foolish and cow
ardly suicide, but in the effort to
rescue a fellow -being from death, An
ardent desire to succee1 restored to
Inin his falling strength. He struggled
forward with a more powerful effort
with his inert burden, and once more
rose to the surface. The boat wee
not more than twenty yards away. A
choking cry escaped his lips, closed be
the contraction of the muscles. He
beat the water with his arm, while
Itis paralyzed leg remained motion -
les. The breaking of Pi wave upon
him turned bird over, and the salt
wated filling Iris throat strangled a
last cry. fle sank into the green
depths, the moon shinging down upon
him, with this idea clearly defined in
his mind, that if he released his hold
of his conepanion, lightened of his
weight he wouldbe saved.
But'he rejected the selfish coensel
of human weakness. He said to
himself:, "If I could save his life
bv the sacrifice of my own I would
gladly no so. Courage, then; one
last effort in order that he may not
die with me." He rose to the sur-
face of the water, gave a deep breath,
saw once* more the starry sky, and
suddenly found himself released from
the burden which was bringing him
down. He heard voices saying in
Italian, "'Here he is; take 'hold of
him." At the same moment a dark
mage, which seemed to Pierre of en-
ormous size, rose on the waves and
fell heavily over upon him. Ho felt
a sharp pain in the forehead. He
seemed to see thousands of stars, then
he lost consciousness, When he
returned to himself he was stretched
on a• heap of. sails in Wee. forepart of
a little vessel that swiftly cut the
waters in the moonlight. The furled
jib fluttered in the wind above his
head. The waves roared, cut by the
vessel's keel, and leaning over him
were three men with swarthy faces
who were anxiously awaiting his re.
turn to consciousness.
Ile tried to rise, but two arms held
him down. One of the men, uncork-
ing a wicker -covered flask, offered it
to him to 'drink. He swallowed a
mouthful of the strong brandy, which
restored him fully to the conscious-
ness of external things. -A burning
sensation in the forehead recalled to
his mind the shock which had caused
him to faint. He put his hand to his
face and drew it away covered with
blood. At the same time the night
air, freshened by the Movement of
the vessel, made him shiVer,eand he
perceived that he was soaked to the
skin. Then, in a voice which had not
ynt regained its.. strength, he said to
the men who surrounded him:
"My friends, if you take an Interest
in my fate, as it would seem you do,
in the first place give me some dry
clothing, for I am ,dying of cold."
"Hold, our comrade is a country-
man," said one or the three sitters
with a strong Provencal accent. "Let
*me- then have the privilege of placing
my wardrobe at his disposal."
The speaker disappeared through She
hatchway, and reappeared in a mo-
ment with a pair of trousers, a pair
of,shoes, a woollen shirt and a heavy
coat. He laid them down .beside Pierre
and said with in air of satisfaction:.
"Agostino will get over it; he ,begins
to breathe 'again. Ah, if he was not
struck by the prow of the boat as you
were, he swallowed a great deal more
water." e
• Pierre, at these words, recalled to
mind the enormous Week mass that he
had seen towering above him on the
waters the Instant before he lost con-
sciousness. He comprehended that it
was the boat, rising on the crest of
the wave, which had fallen with all
its weight over upon him. While he
was making these reflections, his com-
panions quickly exchanged his wet gar-
ments or (try ones. He found himself
at last seated on a coil of ropes, very
dizzy, but experiencing a profound
sense ofcomfort from the soft wool
which coinmunicated its warmth to his
numbed limbs.
"Who is Agostino," he asked,. turn-
ing toward the three men, who were
watching him with an air of satisfac-
tion. .
"Agostietes" replied the Provencal,
"is the comrade 'whom you rescued
from the waves under theetite of the
customs house officers."
• "And you yourselves," asked. Pierre
with brusque authoritativeness, "who
are -you?" •
The sailors -consulted together before
answering. "There is no reason," said
one of them in a gutteral voice, in bad
Italian, "why we should mistrust you.
.And any way, what can he do to in-
jure us?"
"Nothing at all," interrupted Pierre,
tranquilly. "And besides, even if I
could injure you, I should certainly
have to desire to do so,"
"Ah, you -understood what we were
saying, then?" cried the Provencal,
laughing.
"Almost entirely, but it semned to
me a patois your comrades spoke."
"Yes, it is the Sardinian dialect. We
are poor sailers trying to pass, free
of duty, and at the risk of our lives,
the goeds entrusted to us by the Mer-
chants 'of Leghorn and Genoa."
"You are smugglers, then?"
"Well, yes! •That is what they call
us. We were about the land some
silks, brandy and cigars when we
wore iriterrupted, Juat in the Midst
of our work, by those dOgs of customs
house officers. The •goods were alt.
oassed on Sherd exeept two bales of
Virginias, that fell into the sea for
the fishes to smoke."
"But you, monsieur, how was it that
egiii chanced to be on the sot, just in
time to get poor Agostino out of his
fix?"
It was now Pierre's turn to be em-
harrassed. Ito did not think it noesary to confide to his hosts of a day
the fatal project which had led him to
the beach at the point In question, in
Order that he Might there save an.
other's life instead Of throwing away
his own. Tho delay he made in an-
swering gave the sailor's reason to
think that he had Ills own Motives for
not giving an explanation of his 0011.

men to be feetOnitalied at this, and were

MERIT COUNTS
Any C.P.E. Employee May Become
President..
.11.•••••••••••••....10
In an organization so large as that
of the C. P. It., where under normal
eundltions over 100,000 employees are
on the payroll, one great problem is
epeak, dynamic, part of a living er-
that of keeping the employees, so te
ganization and not of a mere ma-,
thine. Zeal and ambition must bo'
kept buruing. Just as every soldier of
Napoleon carried a field marshal's
baton in his knapsack, so every office
Loy in the comeany must feel he is a
puesible president, not merely earn bis
dollar a day till pension day. One
systeut introduced on the Western
lines with this in mind has proved ex-
ceedingly efficient. Each superintend -
pat or foreman ,or head or a depart.:
ment makes two reports a year on his
etaff. Bright men are thus earmark-
ed for special promotion. If any man
is crittele,ed the report is shown to him
and initialed by him before lie goes to
Winnipeg.. Ile gets a square deal, and
if he has any life hi him he mendsehis
ways so that no such criticism can be I
made twice Then again there are in-
dependent scouts, looking for the •
bright men, the tidy station agent, the
eourteous trainman, the man cool in an
emergency, the inventive mechanic,'
the stenographer .who can run the of-,
fice when the chief is absent. These'
ecoute are eearehing for merit only, not'
ior faults.
Over the whole system of the Cana-,
dim Pacific ideas and suggestions
made by emp1oyee.1 are not only wel-:
vented, but lead to promotion. They
go to the Record Calve, where a state-:
!tient of the employee's career is at -
Melted to the suggestion before it is
nensidercd by a 'committee. If the
Idea Is adopted the record of the em-
ployee's career is then before the eveS
of the powers that be, and recognition
is sure to follow. The needle in the
haystack is easy enough to find *with
a magnet, and there aro a dozen mag-
nets looking out for merit among the
100,000 employees of the C. P. R.

"As you choose."
A few moments later, Pierre, his
head bound, uP, stood leaning against
the side of the cutter, looking at the
waves rolling past. MA, a sail was in
sight. In the distance a light shone
through the mist, appearing and dis-
appearing alternately. The young man
inhaled with satisfaction the fresh
sea -breeze, In the midst of these
strangers he felt himself delivered
from a crushing weight. It seemed tir
him that he was no longer the same
person, and that the insane and sick
Pierre Laurier slept now at the bot-
.
tom.of 'the sea, his pale and lifeless
form rocked by the waves. He breath-
ed a profound sigh which vibrated
through the silence, and murmured
softly:
"It is true, I am dead."
"Do you need anything?" asked the
Provencal, who had remained with
him to attend to his wants.
"My. faith, my dear comrade'since
you smuggle cigars, you have doubt-
less a little store of them on board. I
confess that it would give me pleasure
to smoke one." •
"That is easily done."
The sailor leaned over the hatchway,
and spoke a fete words. He soon re-
turned with a package of cigars tied
with yellow ribbons, which he handed
to Pierre.
"It is the captain who sends them
to you," he said, "and he charges me
to tell you that Agostino has entirely
recovered consciousness. Poor boy, if
we had left him behind us at the bot-
tom of the sea there would have been
many a tear shed in Torrevecchio."
"Where is Torrevecchlo?" asked
Pierre, The Provencal pointed toward
the distant horizon.
"Down there," he said, "in Corsica."
;le struck a light and handing the
Miming wcioti td 'Pierre, -
"Here is a light," he said.
Pierre chose a long, dark colored ci-
gar, lighted it carefully, and taking a
few quick puffs with keen delight, -
"Tell me," he said, "where is the
vessel bound for now?"
The Provencal shook his head. 1
"No one but the captain knows
that," he said. 'Me have rounded
the point of the Island of Elba."
"But what port is the vessel bound
for -Porto Perrino or where?"
"That is what we shall know when
we get there. We are in God's hands."
Pierre smiled and nodded his head
approvingly. Walking slowly toward
the heap of sails on which he had
found himself lying when he returned
to consciousness, he sat down upon it,
drew his woolen coat around him, low-
ered the hood over his head, leaned
against a coil of rope for a pillow, and
with his eyes fixed on the resplendent
sky, smoking slowly, ,his mind tran-
quil, and his heart free, for the first
time in many years, he lost himself
in a revery; which ended sweetly in
sleep.
When he awoke the slanting rays
of the smolt' which he was basking
like a lizard in the crevice of a wall,
fell warmly upon him. At first he
could hardly remember where he was.
The sails and rigging presented to his
eyes -a sight which they were not ac-
customed to see on opening in the
morning. Suddenly the recollection of
the events which had filled the short
hours of the night came to his mind.
His beart beat rapidly at the know-
ledge that his accustomed way of life
was at an end, that nothing which he
was ticoustomed to do was any longer
possible to him. Between his past
and his present yawned a gulf deeper
than the blue sea which separated the
vessel from the shore. And at the bot-
tom a corpse, that of a mad painter,
named Pierre Laurier, lay killed by a
fatal fall.
Yes, killed! He repeated the word
to hiniself that there might remain no
Poseible doubt in his still confused
mind on thld Point. He had announc-
ed his intention to kill Wiesen; he
Intel even written It to his friends. At
this moment they must be plunged in
astonishment or in eorrow. Ile could
nol reappear before them without
danger 01 seeming ridiculous. Chance
had placed him in the midst et new
surroundings whore he was absolutely
unhoown to his companions. All he
had to du was to let himself drift
along wherever chance might lead.
And then was it not allure% rya-, ;
ocace that his spirit longed -for? Ate
to emerge from the holt of a degrad- 1
lug intrigue, and find himself swiden-
ly cast into the paradise of a priori-
tive and altogether novel existerme:
To exchange the agitated atmosphere
of a coquette's boudoir, the vitiated
aft of a gambling hall for the fresh
and wholesome odors of Me Vessel

"You ao3 neither n fisherman, a

"Jelled', you are mistaken. I ant a
workman. I am a painter.'
"Ah, you paint pictures, then? Faces
of Jana and women perhaps,..loolting
out of windows in villae, or perhaps
sighs for ships. Perhaps Madonas at
Um corners of the streets."
"Preeteely," said Pierre. "And if t
could find werk to do in your country
I would settle down there for a titnes
"The Corsicans are not rich," said
the captain, "but if yini want to give a
dash of paint to Saint Laurent there,

"Certainly, when we arrive in port.
It shall be the mice ot my passage, If
YOU do not think it to little."
"Ir. is we who are your debtors," in-
terrupted the smugglers, "Whatever
you do to the vessel, we shall take as
a mark •of friendship; but as Or our-
selves, we shall still be in your debt."
"It is settled, theu," cried Pierre,
gayly. "And might one know where
we are going at -this pretty rate?"
"To Bastin."
Be It Bastin, then," said the paint-
er. "I have no choice, and provided
we do not make the niainiande 1
snail he satisfied."
"Are you obliged to try change of
climate, then? Does net the air cif
Prance agree with you?" asked the
captain, with an inquisitive smile.
"Not at all."
"Have you got your:lobinto some
scrape?"
"A very bad serape, Yes, a love af-
fair."
A Scornful expression crossed the
smuggler's face, and Pierre could see
that he had fallen in his estimation.
But although he had :succeeded in
making himself out culpable only, uot
criminal, he already felt himself more
at ease with his companions. "Hero I
am," he said to himself, "like Salve -
tor Rosa among the brigands. But is
the occupation of the men who sur-
round me any worse than that of the
People to whom I gave my band every
day? The only difference is in sta-
tion and in dress. Only that these
are more open to generosity and gra-
titude than my former friends. These
are more simple and upright by na-
ture, than the others. These bad fel-
lows, Who have all perhaps done some-
thing to deserve imprisonment, even
the galleys, it may be, are less cor-
rupt, less thoroughly evil, than those
with whom I associate habitually."
This bitter philosophy strengthened
him, and he faced with tranquility, al-
most with satisfaction, his new situa-
tion. He no longer thought of dying.
He no longer had any reason to curse
life. It provided him with novel sen-
sations which excited his active imag-
ination. Capricious and impresaionabe
as easily exalted as depressed, his ar-
tistic temperament made him form in
an instant the most flattering expec-
tations which replaced all his. former
anxieties. This change of environ-
ment made him feel, not embarrass-
ment nor annoyance, but contentment
and tranquility.• It seemed to; him as
If he had just escaped from a pris,ari
in which for long months be had drag-
ged out a weary existende. He rejoic-
ed in his independence, his freedom.
His vision refreshed and sharpened, as
were, was struck by a thousand dee
tails which had, passed unenoticed be.;
fore. The green. tint of the Waves,
fringed with silver foam, charmed his
sight. He studied the gradations oof-
color in the sky, of an intense blue at
the zenith and of an opal-like.gray et
the horizon. The slender. meets of the
vessel, the rigging, the red sails, 'dean -
ed against the clear background, the
profile of a sailor seated on the bow-
epigt, making fast a rope, these tab-
leaux vivants, arranged without pre-
meditation, attracted his attention
and afforded him delightful enjoyment.
Scarcely was he released from the
bondage of the woman who had held
him in her toils, then he recovered his
love for his art. and with extrabrdin-
ary fickleness, he retained only a
vague recollection, dimmer as if by
distance, of her who had been . his
torment. His degrading passion had
been dislodged from his heart' by Alm

of black =eke, on their way to Civita

the sails impelled the cutter swiftly
on, and already in the mists in the
distance could be seen the tall and
purple mountains bathed in the warm
sunshine.
Pierre called Agostino, and pointing
to the horizon, "What Is that countre
before us?" he asked.
."Corsica," said the sailor, in his
gutteral voice. "Those mountains over
there streteh from the point of Centurl
to Bonifacio, The little island close
to the mainland on the left is Giraghia.-
To-night we shall pass between her

Butter 'by the Yazd.
In Cambridge, lengla.nd, butter is
sold by the yard, not by the pound.
The dairymen of that town have for
many years rolled their butter into
lengths, a length being a yard and
weighing one pound.Neatly wrapped
In strips of clean white cloth, the
cylindrical rolls of butter are packed
in long, narrow baskets made for the
purpose and eo taken to the market.
The Cambridge butter leaders have
therefore; no need et weights or scales
for determining the quantity of their
wares. Constant practice and an ex-
perienced eye enable them with a
stroke of the knife to divide the butter
into halves or quarters with almost
mathematical precision.
This yard -long butter finds its chief
purchasers among the people a the
university. It appears that this butter

cessity. Underground passages ot
considerable width, resembling streete,
have been cut at regular intervals,

benches and seats, have been cut,
where occasional gatherings are held,
