CITAPTEIX VII.
Tho next morning every ono was
glad to hear that Zavortal's predic-
tion had been verified, and that
Lord Darranmoro was not much the
worse for his faint at the dinner -
table. It got to be generally known
throughout the ship that the boy's
heart was affected and when he
came on deck during the peening,
looking pale and seedy, ho became
the victim of a universal sympathy
which didn't best please him.
"ft's all rot," was his indignant
mel* ly when I met him and remarlced
that he would have to "go easy"
and take care of himself. 'There's
nothing the matter with me --at
least, I nevor had anything the mat-
ter before. I, expect 1 had too much
of that meringue cream,"
Theweather continued fine and
sunny, with just enough breeze to
revive the jaded among the pa..'sen-
gers without making them .unoom-
fortable. Being now clear of the
Channel, my presence on the bridge
was seldom _required, and I contrived
to have several delightful chats with
Aline, Mrs. Brinkworth discreetly
making opportunities for a portion
of then to be tote -a -tete. At the
same time I did not allow my love
affair to obscure my duties to the
other passengers, and I worked hard
to add to the general yacht -like life
on board. All sorts of amusements
in the musical anr• theatrical line
were being projected, the doctor
showing untiring energy in discover-
ing amateur talent whore it might
least have been expected. IIe even
laid an embargo on General Waldo
to give a character recitation from
Rip Van Winkle at a variety enter-
tainment that he was planning for
the succeeding night, Tho Yankee,
veteran was discussing Zavortal's en-
terprise in a constitutional wo took
together before tiflin.
"Wonderful puslling fellow, this
doctor of yours, Captain," he said,
as we paced the deck. "You and he
are just cut out for running a mar-
ine hydropathic show like this. He's
an old partner of yours, I reckon,"
"On the contrary, I've only known
him a week," I replied. "This is
my first voyage In the Queen, you
must remember."
"Ah, but friend Zavertal
iasn't
always been at this game, I opine,"
returned Waldo, with ern Impatient
gesture and ono of ifs quiyafcal
glances, "You can bet he qualified
in a wider school than 'kis. I guess-
ed you might ]rave pulled together
previously."
"No, teeneral," I said, wondering
a little at his persistence after my
first denial. "Tho doctor and I 'aro
quite new acquaintances, though I
must say that I hope we shall one
day bo old ones. Ito is a pleasant
companion to sail with, and about
the best man for the berth of ship's -
surgeon I ever carne across."
"A responsible position—that of
ship's doctor," remarked Waldo,
more thoughtfully than as yet I had
heard him speak. "It entails the
power of life and death—the porfoet-
ly unchecked-. power of life and
death,"
On the top of this conversation I
was .rathor. amused when Zavertal on
the same afternoon took an oppor-
tunity of mentioning •Waldo to me
from much the same point of view.
"Fine specimen of the globe-trot-
ting American, that neighbor of
yours at the saloon table," ho said.
'You and he seem to hit it oll to-
gether uncommonly well, sir."
"Oh, he is all right—up to date,"
I replied. "Perhaps one might gct
bored in Ulna with his everlasting
yarns of Western life."
"I thought you might have met
hint before—you seemed so friendly,"
Zavertal said in the careless tone of
one who really wants to know.
"No, I never saw the General ho -
fore on sea or land," I said, "Ho
is not the sort of man one would
forget either. Ile has a peculiarity.
Ile strikes me as being a little morn
'twangy' than most Americans of
his class nowadays."
"You are right," replied the doc-
tor, "and it is bound to be genu-
ine. That is about the only thing
an American wouldn't exaggerate
purposely."
I had got pretty intimate with
Zavertal during the four or five days
we spent together before the ship
sailed. I had told him of the •Am
erican, Kennard, who had called at
Nathan's office while I was waiting
to be engaged, and I had since dis-
cussed with him his strange for-

If you watch the newspapers for
the next few weeks you will find
that the death record is a large
one, and* mado up largely of per-
sons in advanced years and of weak
. constitutions.
Vitality seems to begat low ebb
at this time of year, and the sudden
changes of temperature and humid
atmosphere are moro than a weak-
ened system can withstand. A lit-
tle over-exertion, a little unusual
exposure, a little neglect of the
body, and health is undermined,
physical break -down inevitable,
If you could but realize the re-
constructive and upbuilding ,in-
fluence of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food,
it would be. easyto convince you
of the; wisdom of using this pre-
peration at this season of the year.
When the blood is thin, weak and
watery, Dr. Chase's Nerve Food en-
riches it by increasing the number
of red colpuseles. When the nerves
aro exhausted, enorgy gone and
strength declining, this great food
cure builds up the system, restores
and revitalizes the wasted nerve
cells and rekindles the spark of life.
No physician can give you a bet-
tor restorative than Dr, Chase's
Nerve Food, for it is prepared in
accordance with the most modern
and most scientific principles, and
contains in condensed form• the moat

folturo of his passage, Zavertal re-
marking playfully that perhaps the
gentleman with the pistol had met
him again and load not been so for-
bearing'. I was now on the point of
mentioning casually how for half
a second on the previous night 1ya1-
do's oxprt asion had reminded me of
the absent passenger, but some ono

n from the bridge and the

A little later on the afternoon of
that third day out Zavertal propos-
ed a game of 'hide-and-seek, and
was soon surrounded by a number
of younger passohgors eager to join.
Several of them olid in turn, and
were found in moro or less probable
hiding-places—under the companion
stairs, behind the piano In the anisic
room, while ono adventurous maiden
gave a longer chase than usual by
stowing herself in the flag -locker be -

non -players, were sitting under the
awning watching the game when it
chanced on to the upper deck, and
chatting to myself and to General
Waldo, who by thio time was on
speaking terms with every living
soul. on the ship. Thus we four were
together when Lord Darrenmore
came out of the deck -house to hide.
The best placeson the upper dealt
having already been exhausted by
other players, the ladies expressed'
the opinion that he would have to
go below if he was to show good
sport.
"With due submission, I guess
not, " remarked Waldo. "The
young'un has got a best bower to
ploy, to judge by. his .manoeuvres."
It seemed to me that the General
was right. The boy did not hesitate
for an instant, as if doubtful where
to go. but turned and went forward
011 the port side till he came nearly
abreast of the doctor's cabin, op-
posite which our steam -launch was
slung., -The davits supporting it were
turned inwards over the deck to
prevent any risk of losing the launch
in heavy weather, so that it was ac-
cessible without danger of falling
overboard. It was covered with a
tarpaulin, and to reach it would be
necessary to swarm up the davit,
but these difficulties were not going
to deter an agile Eton boy from
availing himself of a hiding -place so
likely to be overlooked. Zavertal
was standing in tho door of the
companion -way ready to give the
word to the searchers, and he smil-
ed and winked at us as the young
Earl began to slain up the davit
loand-over-hand.
Darrienlnoro soon got a grip on
the bulwarks of the launch, and we
watched hint raise the edge of the
tarpaulin, duck his head beneath it,
and slowly wriggle out of sight. As
soon as no had disappeared Zaver-
tal gave the word to the seekers, acid
they came trooping out of the com-
panion -way to commence the search.
The quest had hardly begun in
earnest when Lord Darrannoro's
head reappeared trout under the
tarpaulin, and it was seen that bis
face wore a toluic expression of
010011 and excitement.
"I say, thisgame's of," he cried,
clambering out of the launch.
"There's a chap hiding in there al-
ready,"
"Nonsense, said Zavertal, going
up to him as he reached the deck,
"You must he mistaken, Lord Dar-
ranmoro. There can't by any one
there."
"I toll you I'm not mistaken." re-
torted the lad hotly. "There's a
man lying huddled up in the bows.
I heard 11in1 breathing first, and
then I put my hand out and felt
him."
"We'll soon settle it," I said,
d joining the group with Waldo and
a number of other passengers.
"Here, Smith," I added to a quar
termaaster who was passing, just
take a look under that tarpaulin,
nein see if you can catch a stow-
away.'•
But before the order could bo exe-
cuted the boy's statement was veri-
fied in a different way. Tho tar-
paulin over the bows of the launch
was raised, and a head coveted with
touzled black hair appeared, Pre-
senting such a woebegone figure of
fun that some of the passengers
laughed. Tho apparition looked like
a foreigner, and certainly did not be-
long to the ship. As for myself, I
felt considerable anuoyanee, for a
stowaway was a pest against which
I had taken no precautions, it not
occurring to me that any ono would
try to sneak a passage on a ship
not known as a regular "liner."
"Come down out of that," I said,
"We will see if wo caujt find you
better quarters in the bold with a
brace of anklets to steady you."
But the Hereat fell flat, "No spik

"Por fellow, he means that he is
hungry. Don't bo hard on him,"
pleaded Aline, who load come up with
the rest, and to that sweet inter-
vention tiro stranger owed the treat-
ment that was mated :out to him.
By signs he was at length induced
to leave the launch, and on reaching
the deck loo stood revealed as a tall,

The run acmes the clay Of Biscay

and on tho morning of the fifth day

anchorage the great grey 111008, with
the straggling town at foot, Was
soon to bo as gay as a geranium
bed with the blaze of British scar-
let,
My instructions from tole owners
were to allow a clear twenty-four
hours at this port. to enable the
passengers to go ashore and explore
it thoroughly. Numerous parties
had already been !OO11Led for the
purpose, and our boats were soon
busily engaged in transporting sight-
seers to the landing -place. Among
the first to start was a boat -load g
personally conducted by Zavertal,
comprising Lord Darramnore and his c
tutor, Mr. Orlenar being also with
the party. The latter had been e
drinking heavily ever since he carne s
on board, and 1 heard the doctor h
trying to induce 'lira to remain
quietly on the ship snider the pre-
text that the excitement of a day's
outing would be injurious to hint.
But this representation only had the
effect of increasing lois determina-
tion to go, and Zavertal yielded—
somewhat too readily, I thought.
Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth had a
ar-
range(' to join a party which was e,
going under the escort of General t
Waldo, and at the last moment,
finding that there was nothing to s•
keep nie on board, I decided to ac- a
company them. On landing we e
strolled through the main gate and u
up the steep street t0 the post office
for letters and telegrams. On en-
tering the building we were met by
the doctor's party just leaving after
making a similar call. His convoy
were mostly busy with their corres-
pondence, but 'Gametal himself le
crammed a cablegram ho was read-
ing into his pocket, and calve up to
me, loolcing worried and anxious.
"That infernal fellow, Orlobar, has
given as the slip," he said. "Per-
haps I ought to have been more
careful, but as ho gets all he wants
on the ship and I didn't think that
he would seize upon the chance of a
shore racket. I expect he's soaking
himself in some wino -shop by this
time."
"I shouldn't trouble about it," I
replied. "The man is a free agent,
and so long as he doesn't mako him-
self personally offensive to others
we can't very well control hini."

SHAPE IN PRUNING,
The normal shape or a well
trained apple tree Is that of a vase.
Three or four lead branches start
from the trunk, as low us possible.
This is convoliient in gathering the
fruit, when the wagon may be
driven between the trees, and the
bulk of the fruit gathered oy hand
without a bruise, and placed direct-
ly into the barrels. It is a bar-
barous way to beat the three with
poles, and bruise the fruit this
way, and thus lessen its selling
value one-half or two-thirds. In-
deed, the fruit may be picked and
wrapped in soft paper, and put in
the barrels or the boxes once for all,
and the selection thus made at the
first handling, lessons the cost of
this work ono -half on the start.
This inay be clone if the trees aro
headed low at the planting, and the
pruning is done to complete the
work year by year. It is thus seen
how valuable may be the tvorlc of
shaping the trees at the right time
in several ways. And the right bine
is just now. When the well pruned
tree is viewed from a short distance
it will appear as a gracefully foam-
ed spreading vase through branches
of which the light conies freely and
evenly, The trunk will be clean and
smooth, and the limbs free from
cross branches and long slender
twigs.
, IMIGII GRADE POULTRY.
Producers of high-grade poultry
neat must learn to improve its at-
tractiveness by shaping. Shaping
troughs and boards can bo used by
anybody after an'cxperimont or two.
High-grade poultry in France and
England is always shaped artificial-
ly. At the Canadian stations when
tho chickens have been picked, the

That may be a board six inches
wide, placed against a wall at an
BONE FOR POULTRY,
Wo may obtain some eggs for win-
ter use without feeding cut bone,
but by its use we can materially in-
crease the number. The owner of
100 hens is losing the price of a
good cutter every winter by de-
priving them of the material which
Ile would bo able to furnish at a
very small cost. We have discovered
that for early hatched chicks it is
indispensable. 10 raise strong,
healthy, vigorous chicks_ a sub-
stitute most be found to take the
place of the bugs, worms, etc., on
which they thrive so well later in
the season. A mineral substance is
also necessary for hardening the
frame of the growing chick and ex-
poriments have proved that chicks
fed nn green cut bone aro never
subject to leg weakness. But it is as
a winterfeed for laying hens that
we derive tho greatest profit from it.

beef, he can fill his pasture to the b
full limit with cows producing
calves, and he will realize on the
calves 12 months from the date of '
their birth. Capital is turned an-' e
mucky instead of once in every three t
years. The farmer's grain will pro-
duce from 50 to 100 per cent. moro ,n

farmer can market his heifer calves p
at the 801/10 price as his steers, and s

As a rule, be it acid, with a man
poverty does not materially atleot
his affections, but than it is 'seldom,
that the stress of strained circum-
stances falls upon the husband, From
a business point of view, his clothes

date ; his food must be of a fairly
substantial order or his health would

and, though perhaps oho may not
have as much money to spend in
frivolity or luxury, as in the bygone
days of wealth, nevertheless he is
not harassed to any groat degree
With the wife, however, things are
very different. From . a financial
point of view it is not necessary,
that she should dress in the latest
fads of fashion, so she appears sea-
son after season in the same gar-
ments, and misses the prime joy of a
woman's life—bargain hunting, and
rushing after milliners and dress-
makers. The question of diet, too.
resolves itself into how much she
can do without, while holidays and
outings are items unrecorded in the
programme of her life.
Tho problem of making both ends
meet Is sorely trying, for the mere
plan, be he rich or poor, having
handed his better half
THE ALLOWANCE

his home, does not worry as to how.
it is expended, so long as nothing
further is demanded from him finan-
cially. And the girl who leaves a
rich home for the love that is pro-
mised her in a cottage, seldom if
ever, realizes all that will be de-
manded of her in the way of self-
abnegation and sacrifice. For mar-
riage and courtship aro estates as
widely apart as the poles themselves
and when the commonplaces of the
former overshadow the illusions of
the latter, love is apt to fly at the
chilling touch of realism. Friends,
too, do not flock to the new home
as they did to her father's house,
and, feeling lonely and deserted, she
is then apt to blame the man for
whose salve she has given up every-
thing.
Unfortunately, men do not see
things in the same light, so with
the first word of grumbling or re-
crimination all the lover vanishes,
and a husband aggressive and un-
sympathetic, much after the typo of
other women's husbands, is left in
his stead. Cupid looks on awhile,
then departs to pastures now, where
love promises to develop greater
excitement than that afforded by the
tiffs of his erstwhile lovers.
Where sudden change of circum-
stances makes domestic retrenchment
necessary, the case is even sadder
than that of the young wife, for.
where thele are baby lives to suffer,
the iron strikes very deep into the
mother's soul, and it is here that
poverty kills love with one fatal
blow from the sword of Fate, for
unless the father's affection be very
strong,
VERY TENDER IN AFFLICTION,
no woman can withstand the trial
that is so peculiarly hers where
It touches her children.
But at the same time it must bo
remembered that love alter all, is
but a human emotion, subject, like
all other feelings, to fluctuate with
the environment of circumstances:
Love, however, differs from other
emotions in one respect, and that,
is, it is capable to a great extent of
Bing controlled by the being loved,
Thus the man on whom Fortune has
frowned, may defy poverty to 1ci11
or even mar his wife's love, provid-
d his owl affection will stand the
est of trial. His must be the strong
man's arm to fight her weak wo-
man's battles, for though his bo

sealed in patience, for a tired
eary woman, fretted with the ever'
resent worries attendant upon
traitened means, is apt to be very
ractious andeven trying at times.
She may, perchance, say things
that are inconsistent with love, but
lie will know they are not meant, he
will feel that physical and mental
atigne rather than want of area -
ion are responsible for her seeming
ukindness, and then his only anr
wet' will be to take her in his
arils and ldss away the linos that
tire has traced, And the Wolman,
he true woman who is verily and
awl her husband's better hall,
surely she, too, will exert mer 'best
efforts to prevent poverty killing the
love that shone so bright, so pure—
ere it was overshadowed by mis-
fortune,
A tongue that is. silent to blame,
that is over ready to pralso in sun-
shine or storm, will work wonders in
keeping love as strong and true in
poverty as wealth.
