CHAPTER XXXII.—(Cont'd,) an incredibly short space of time it
was alongside, the passenger find
climbed up the rope ladder, the gin -
pace had sheered off and the steamer
was once more heading towards the;
"The 'Princess Hilda' from South-
ampton, •to -morrow at midnight," he
repeated thoughtfully. "Well, it's a
big :business."
"It's worth it," Granet assured him.
"They may eall it a hospital ship but
it isn't. I am convinced that the one
man who is mere dangerous to us
than any other Englishman, will be
on hosed."
"It shall then be done," the other
promised. "So!"
He looked upward to the flag and
saluted Granet. A great sea bore
them a Iittle apart. Granet pulls
down the German flag, tied up a stone
inside it and threw• it into the next
wave.
"You can take me back now," he
told the boatman.
They were four hours making the
harbor. Three times they failed to
get round the last point, met at each
time by clouds o£ hissing spray. When
at last they sailed in, there was a
little crowd to watch them. Nichols
and Lethbridge stood on one side with
gloomy faces.

The newly -arrived passenger was
making his way towards the saloon'
when a voice which seemed to come
from behind a pile of rugs heaped
around a steamer -chair, arrested his
progress
"Hugh!. Major Thomson!"
He stopped short. 'Geraldine shook
herself free from her rugs and sat up.

ishment.

Lethbridge muttered something and
turned away. Nichols, too, deeiined.
"I am not sire, Job Row-.ieil," the
latter declared, "that I like your
money nor the way you earn it,"
Job Rowell stopped for a minute.
There was en ugly look in his sullen
face.
If you weren't my own brother-in-

shove those words down your throat"
"And if you weren't my sister's,

away, "Id take a little trip over to

Nichols' boat was duly prepared at:
nine r elock on the following morne
ing. Lethbridge shouted to him from;
the rails.
"Gentleman's changed his mind, Ill
reckon. He went off on the eight
o'clock boat for Penzance."
Nichols commenced stolidly to furl, d
his sails again,
"It's my thinking, Lethbridge," he 1
said, as he clambered into the dinghy,'.
"that there's things going on in this; ti
island which you and me don't under -t

Nearly all the women here are in

i the men on board are doctors. Where
are you going, Hugh?"
'Just to the Iia^ae and back again

'court-martial I want to attend."
"Still mysterious," she laughed.
"What have you to do with courts-
martial, Hugh?"
' "Too much, just for the moment,"
, he answered lightly. "Would you like
some coffee or anything?"
She shook her head.
"No, thank you. I had an exedIe
supper before we started. I looked at
some of the cabins 'but I decided t
spend the night on deck. What abou
you? You seem to have arrived in
a hurry."
" I missed the train in London," b
explained, "They kept me at the W:ar
Office, Then I had to come down in a
Government car anal we couldn't quite
catch up. Any rrws from Ralph?"
"I had e letter three days ago," she
told hien. "It was posted at Harwich
but he couldn't say where he was, and
oe couree he couldn't give Inc any
r a'e. Father came back from the
Admiralty very excited yesterday,
though. He says that we have sunk
four or five more •submarines, and
that Ra'^•h's new equipment is an im-
mense sucress. By -the -bye, is there
any danger of submarines here?"
"1 ehoulln't think so,' Thomson
answered. "They are very busy round,
the Scilly Islands but we aeem to Navel
been able to keep them out of thei
Channel, I thought we should haves
been convoyed, though," I
"In any case," site remarked, "we!
are a hospital ship. I expect they'd{
eave us alone. Major Thomson,' she
went on, "I wonder, do you really be -i
leve all these stories of the- horrible
oings of the Germans—the way they
have treated' drowning people attack-
ed by their submarine's, and these
hateful stories of Belgium? Some
nes it seems to be as though there
vera a fog of hatred which had
prung up .between the two countries,
and we could neither of us quite see
c early what the other was doing."
"I think there is something in that,"
Major Thomson agreed. "On the other
and, I think it is part of the German
rineiple to melte awe ruthlessly. I
have seen things in Belgium which 1
rd hall never forget. As to the sub-
marine business, if half the things are
rue that we have read, they seem to
ave behaved like brutes. It's queer,
oo," he went on, "for as a rule sea-
men -are never cruel."
They were silent for a time Far
some reason or other, they both
avoided 3nention of the one subject
lids was in the minds! of both. It
wore not until after the steward had
rought him some coffee and they were
more than half -way across, that
Thomson a little abruptly asked her a
uestion,
"Have you seen anything of Cap-
tain Granet lately?"
"Nothing" she replied.
He turned his head slightly towards
er.
"Would it. trouble you very much
he never came to see you again?"
She w•as. watching the misty dawn,
"I do not knew," the answered, "but
think that he will come."
"I ant not se sure," he told her.
"Do you mean that he is in any
1res�h•trouble?" she asked quickly,
"I don't think he needs any freak
trouble exactly,' Thomson remarked,
"but suppose we leave him aIone fore
a little time?' Our meeting wefts s0
unexpected, and, for nee, eueh a
pleasure. Dant Jet us spell it."
"Let us talk of other things," the
greed readii "Tell Y e me for in -

"I have never leen ono close to," he

He never finished his sentence. The
shock which they had: both read about
but •never dreamed of experiencing,
dung them without a moment's warn-
ing to their hares and feet. The
eteamer seemed as theugh it had been
lifted out of the water. There was a
report as though some great cannon
had +been fired off in their very ears,
Looking along the deek, it suddenly
seemed to' T'laomson that her bows
were pointing to the sky. The after

had struck a rock, and only a few

ing in every direction. There was a
great gap already in the aide of the
steamer, as though some one had
taken a cut out of it, Then, high
shove the shrieking- of the osoaped
steam and the cracking of woodwork,
the siren of the boat screamed out its
fratic summons for help. Geraldine
for the momentnt lost her nerve. 'She
began to shriek, and ran towards the
nearest boat, into which the people
were climbing like ants Thomson
drew her back.
"Don't hurry," he begged. "Here!"
He threw open the door of a cabin
which leaned over them, snatched two
of the lifebeits from the berth and
rapidly fastened one. on her. There
was some semblance of order on deck
now that the first confusion had pass-
ed. The men were all rushingto
et quarters. Three of the boats bad been
blown into splinters' upon their davits.
s- The fourth, terribly overloaded, was
e being lowered. Thomson worked like
a madman, was tying some spare belts
• on to a table which had floated out
e f• rom the cabin. More than on0e the
e boat gave a. great Ipiunee and they
had to hold on to the cabin doors, A
s huge wave broke completely over
r them, drenching them from head to
foot. The top of the rail now eves on

"You're not going to jump ever -

he explained. It's the only chance,

"Buwhat about you? You haven't

'"I can swim," he: answered quickly,

"This thing will support me easily.

to be frightened about. We can keep

A huge wave !broke right over their
heads. The beat, which had nearly
!Teethed the level of the water, was
overturned, and the air seemed full of
the screaming of women, the loud
shouting of orders from the bridge,
where the captain was standing with
his hands upon the fast sinking rail.
I The water 'was up to their waists now.
!In a moment they ceased to feel any -
thing beneath their feet. Geraldine'
found herself suddenly buoyant.
Thomson, swimming with one arm,
locked his other in their raft.

A Mother's Experience.
Though free information concerning
the care and feeding of infants may be
had from so many sources, the most
important item of feeding 'babies in
nt the country and small towns is often
left out. This is the care of the milk
tto make it safe for an infant's food.
In the city. where certified milk may
be procured, the above mentioned in -
e formation is all that is needed, but
living in the country it has been nec-
essary for me to solve the problem
myself by experimenting (think of
it!) with my babies' food.
CHAPTER XXXIII.
There was n shrill whistle from the
captain's bridge, end the steamer, es
which hast scarcely yet gathered way,

I man make myself mere clearly
!understood, perhaps, by telling the
story of my three }metes, whose ages
are two and a hall, sixteen months,
and three months. They were the
same weight at birth, end apparently
had the same strength and vitality.
They were fed one ef the proprietary
foods, combined with fresh milk for
the first three months, then milk pre-
pared with lime water and sugar. Tho
mills was mostly from the same cow,
the bottles and nipples were carefully
sterilifed for each feeding, the food
kept covered in a cool place in a
sterilized fruit jar; they were fed at
regular intervals, the right amount
of food according to age and weight,
but there was a vast difference in
their development, due to the handling
of the milk.
The first baby was fel kin -milk, as
I thought the stomach trouble she de-
veloped was due to the cream, though •
I now am certain it was caused by,
milk taken from the general supply in,
a tin pail., Though I took particular}
pains with the cleaning ef the pall,
there are too many seams where the
germs lodge, to make it a safe baby's
milk container, This baby's Iegs be-
came bowed as a result of the sl
milk. This trouble is a form of rick-
ets, due in tbis ease, I have been in-
formed, to lack of butter -fat, which is
essential to the proper growth of the
bones. This I corrected by giving her
all the rich milk, cream and butter
the would take, after sloe was weaned
and I di'seovered the trouble. and its
cause. However, this baby grew very
largo and strong and is to -day healthy
and large for her age.
The next baby was fed wholo milk
prepared by the dame formula, Milk
into sterilized fruit jars, strain}ng and
coating immediately, saved her from
having stomach and bowel trouble.
She did nicely until the moved and be
gen feeding the eows ensilage, when
she developed a very severe attack of
indigestion, which nearly took her Iife
before we discovered the cause, On
changing the cow's feed, she began to
gain back bar strength end to'grow.

even while teething.

three months weighs fourteen pounds
(he weighed eight !mends rt birth)
end keeps on gaining steatites. He has
been perfectly well from the first and
if nothing happens to interfere, I be-
lieve he will be a model bottle baby.
He lies in his ,-rib end kicks and plays
or sleeps, and all he asks it his food
at the proper time, his redo: -u bath,
fresh air and plenty of clean, dry
clothes. My care of him is mostly
hard work in the kitchen, but this
seems much better and easier to me
than the constant care of a fretful
baby.
I believe I have proven satisfaci;or-
ily that this is true: the cleaner the
milk the better the baby. There are
three things always to keep in mind
concerning it: Clean, Cool, Covered. I
have a large porcelain kettle with a
cover which I use only for the pur-
pose of sterilizing, and I have lots of
faith in nay kettle. Everything that
comes in contact with baby' food must
be boiled. - Milk kept in this way has
a delightful fragrance and taste. We
use about a gallon a day for the three,
the older ones thinking all they want.
One has to experiment at first to
find whether the milk is too rich or
not. If so, it may be skimmed a little,
though my babies take very rich milk.
During the day the food is warmed
by setting the bottle in warm water
and testing for the right temperature,
but the nipple should never be put in
one's mouth. The problem of warm-
ing the food at night may be solved
by buying a baby bottle warmer,
which heats it in warm water a.tso,
thus avoiding the danger of constipa-
tion. My milk fed !babies are my pride,
and though I must work so hard to
keep teem well and growing, in their
rosy cbeelcs and bright eyes I find a
bleated reward for my labor.

ahling accident once in seven years,
It may be oily a smashed thumb or a
sprained ankle, but It puts the sufferer
temporarily out of business,
if ono would avoid disabling thee
dents, the safest place is indoors, in
bed, in the cellar.
