"You sail to -morrow evening, Jack?" said Flower, with a careless half -turn towards him. "About six," was the reply. "We sail Saturday evening at seven,said Flower, and took the girl's hand in his own. "It will be odd to see you on board, Poppy, and not td be able to speak to you' but we shall be able to look at eae1 other, sl.an' we?" "Captain Martin is a strict dis- ciplinarian," said Poppy. Well, he can't prevent us looking at each other," said Flower, "and he can't prevent us marrying when we get to the other end. Good -night, Jack. Next time you see vs we'll' be an old married couple." "A quick ,passage and a safe re -i turn," said Fraser. "Good -night." Poppy Tyrell just gave him her' small hand, and th:.t was all. Flower,' giving him a hearty grip, accompanied him as far as the door of the room.. He looked back as he gained the pave- ment, and the last he saw of them they were sitting at the open window. Flower leaned out and waved his hand In farewell, but Poppy made no sign. CHAPTER XX. In the rising seaport of Bittlesea • Captain Fraser, walking slowly along the quay bn the fateful Saturday, beard the hour of seven strike from the old church wedged in between the' narrow streets at the back of the town. The little harbor, with its motley collection of craft, vanished he heard the sharp, hoarse cries of command on the Golden Cloud, and saw the bridge slowly opening to give egress to the tug which had her in tow. He saw her shapely Hull and tapering spars glide slowly down the river, whsle Poppy Tyrell, leaning against the side, took her last look at London. He came back with a sigh to reality; the Swallow had dwindled to niicrescopica: propor- tions, and looked dirty; Bittlesea it- self had the appearance of a village with foolish aspirations to be consid- ered a port, and he noticed, with a 'strong sense of pity tempered with disdain, the attentions of two young townsmen to a couple of gawky girls in white frocks. With a feeling that the confinement of the house would be insupportable, he• roamed idly about until the day gave place to twilight, and the red eye of the lightship on the horizon peeped suddenly across the water. Bittlesea was dull to aching point; a shirt -sleeved householder or two sat in his fragrant front -garden smoking, and a murmur of voices and fumes of tobacco floated out from tavern door- ways. He paced up and down the quay, until the necessity of putting a stop to the vagaries of his crew furnished him with a little wholesome diversion, In their quest for good beer Mr. Green and Joe bad left themselves in the hands of the other members of the crew, and had gone off with then] in a • body to the "Cap and Bells," where, in a most pointed fashion, Mr. Green, t who had been regarding the fireman's 1 complexion for some time with .much. 1 displeasure, told }he boy to go back' Ito the ship and get his face washed. "He's all right, ain't you, Tommy ?"! said the cook, coming to the rescue. "Boys ought to keep their faces clean," said Mr. Green, impressively; "themes nothing more unpleAsant than a face what wants washing. You don't want to grow up like that, de you? Louk at it, Joe." "It might he cleaner," said Joe, thus appealed to, slowly; "likewise it might be dirtier." "It might be much dirtier," said Mr. Green, emphatically; "anybody with eyes in their 'ed can see that. There was an awkward pause, dur- ing which the fireman, 1vi.h one eye peeping furtively from beyond the rim of a quart pot, saw both Joe and the cook kick Mr, Green's foot to call his attention to the fact that his words might be misconstrued by another member of the party, "I 'ate toffs," he said, deliberately, as he placed his nr,>_g on the counter, "They're all right when you know 'em, Charlie," said Joe, who was averse to having the evening spoiled at that early hour. "A real Colt's had enough," continu- ed the fireman, "but a himitation one --(Nth:- Ile buried ]tis face in the pewter again, and laughed discordant- ly. "You go aboard and wash your face Tommy," repeated Mr, Green, "1I should think you'd find plenty o' soap in Charlie's bunk," "Do you know what you want?" de- manded the fireman, regarding Trim fixedly,. •"I know what you want," said Mr. Green, with a supercilious smile, "Oh! Wet?" said the other, The polite seaman rose to his feet and watched him carefully. "A banjo," he replied. It was not the reply according to time-honored formula, and Charlie, who was expecting something quite different, was at no pains to hide his perplexity. "A banjo?" he repeated, slowly, "a banjo ---a ban—?" Light came to him suddenly, and he flew at Mr. Green with his fists whirling.

Skim -milk is a very economical food material in the opinian of experts, and might well be more largely used as human food—this in spite of the fact that it is nine -tenths water, Whole milk is an indispensable food for the young, and even in the diet of ' the adult it is comparatively economical, The only nourishing ma- erial taken from it in skimming is the )utter fat. There is left, therefore, n the skim -milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about four and a half .parts in every hundred, and all of the mineral substances, but also rt r.:t 4`, 1,1 Pt 11 • •0, - . all of the protein.

A Meat Loaf Recipe. Soak two cups of bread crumbs in one cup of boiling water. Rub the soft bread crumbs and 2 cups of cooked oatmeal through a fine sieve. One and one-half cupfuls of cold boiled meat, run through a food chopper three times. , Now rub the meat through a sieve, add the oatmeal and bread crumbs and one and one- half teaspoonfuls salt, one teaspoonful onion sauce, 1 teaspoonful poultry sea- soning, one cupful thick cream sauce. Mix well and pack in a well -greased mold and bake for forty minutes in a moderate oven. set the mold hi a pan of hot water. Serve either hot or cold. If serving hot, a brown or tomato sauce should be used• To Clean A Blouse. A very simple way of cleaning white blouses, which has been found effi- cacious, is to line a box with clean white paper, cover the bottom with Fuller's earth, spread the blouse care- fully over this and put another layer of the earth over it. Spread anether sheet of white paper over this and put the cover an the box. Let it remain untouched for five or six days; then shake out the blouse, which will be quite clean. Mending Hints. To mend a glove that is split at the thumb or near a seam buttonhole the kid either side of the split and then sew the buttonhole edges together. The result will be a new firm seam that will never tear again. When buttonholing take a good hold of the kid, otherwise the stitches will pull out from the kid. All stockings, ir- respective of the material, should be darned with darning silk. Not only does it make a neater darn, but it wears better and does not hurt the foot. •(lone -Made Hanger. A handy clothes hanger for children can be made of a broom handle. Make a cross of two pieces of wood fourteen inches long, three inches wide and one or one-half inch thick for a standard. Fasten together', bore a hole in the center and insert the handle. Screw half a dozen hooks in the handle, paint or enamel any desired shade and the hanger is finished. Small children will enjoy hanging their dresses on this henget, thus teaching them to be neat and tidy, an uproar, and the well -meant and self -preservative efforts of Joe and the cook to get the combatants into the street were frustrated by people out- side blocking up the doors. They ' came otit at last, and Fraser, who was passing, ran over just in time to save Mr. Green, who was doing his best,; from the consequences of a somewhat' exaggerated fastidiousness. The in -I eident, however, afforded a welcome' distraction, and having seen Mr. Green off in the direction of the steamer,' while the fireman returned to the: public -house, he bent his steps borne -1 wards and played a filial game at cards with his father before retiring. 1 They sailed for London the follow -I ing afternoon, Mr. Green taking a' jaundiced i'iew. of the world from a! couple of 1)1(1(10 eyes, while the fireman) openly avowed that only the economi- cal limitations of Nature prevented him from giving him more. Fraser, a prey to gentle melancholy, called I them to order once or twice, and then left them to the mate, a 1)1511 whose talent for ready invective was at once the admiration and envy of his peers. The first night in London 11e spent on board, and with pencil and paper sat down to work out the position of the Golden Cloud. He pictured her with snowy pinions outspread passing clown Channel. He pictured Poppy sitting on the poop in a deck -chair and Flower coming as near as his work would allow, exchanging glances with her. Then he went up on deck, and lighting his pipe, thought of that never -to -be -forgotten night when Pop- py had first boarded the Foam. The next night his mood changed, and unable to endure the confinement of the ship, he went for a lonely tramp round the streets, He hung round the Wheelers', and, after gazing at their young barbarians at play, want- ed found and looked at Flower's late lodgings. It was a dingy house, with broken railings and an assort- ment of papers and bottles in the front garden, and by no means calculated to relieve depression, From there he in- stinctively wandered round to the lodg- ings recently inhabited by Miss Tyrell. He passed the house twice, and noted. with gloom the•already neglect- ed appearance of her front window. The venetian blind, half drawn up, was five or six inches higher one sine than the other, and a vase of faded flowers added to the forlornness of the ;pic- ture. In his present state of mind the faded blooms seemed particularly appropriate, and suddenly determining to possess them, he walked up the steps end knocked at the door, trembl- ing like a young housebreaker over his first job. "I think I left my pipe here the oth- er night;" he stammered to the small girl who opened it. • "I'll swear you didn't," said the small damsel, readily. "Can I go up and see?" inquired Fraser, handing her some coppers. The small girl relented, and even offered to assist him in his search, but he waved her awe'', and going up- stairs salt down and looked drearily around the shabby little room. An ex- ecrable ornament of green and ]pink paper in the fireplace had fallen down, together with a little soot; there was dust on the table, and other signs of neglect. He crossed over to the win- dow and secured two 00 three of . the blooms, and was drying the stalks on his handkerchief when his eye sud- denly lighted on a little white ball on the mantelpiece, and, .hardly able to believe in his good fortune, he secured a much -darned pair of cotton gloves, which had apparently been forgotten in the hurry of departure. He unrol- led them and pulling out the little shrivelled fingers regarded them with mournful tenderness. Then the smoothed them out, and folding them with reverent fingers placed them carefully in his breast -pocket. e then became conscious that somebody was regarding hia antics with amaze- ment froth the doorway.

Incident in South African War Which is Characteristic of a Boer' Lender, Of the three groat figures that emerged on the Boer side in the war of defence that developed often Lady- smith -Botha, Do Wet and Delarey— De Wet was much the most impres- sive. His face was a study in resis- tance, says Mr. Harold Spender in Gen. Botha, the Career and the Man. His body seemed all muscle. Look- ing on him, one could understand the fear that he inspired i11 his own men. But it was his schemes of escape, al- most miraculous in their cunning, that perplexed an empire and puzzled a planet, On one or two cecasions I have seen his face light up When he referred to one of his own achievements in eva- sion, and of those achievements one still stands out in my memory. One evening, after a long day's march,—so he told us, --all his wand- erings seemed to have come to an end. The lights of the British bivouac fires twinkled from every point of the hor-. izon, De Wet, as was his wont, went apart from his amen and sat alone in dumb despair. Then there came to him softly one of those wonderful scouts who served him so well, The scout had discovered a slight gap in the British lines '`between two regi- ments that were not quite keeping touch. In a moment De Wet Was on his, feet. Within an hour every horse's foot was muffled with cloth or wool and every wagon wheel was swathed, Tho Boer camp fires were lighted and, were left burning brightly. Then the! whole Boer force crept out through the darkness of the night in utter sir- ence, penetrated the gap in the British 1 lines and started on a now course of fugitive warfare.

English Phrases Being Adopted in War Zone by Native Population. Cur Canadian correspondent In Franee writes the following: "Righter" Everywhere one hears this word of general utility in that part of France in which British troops are quartered. The French use it as they use the word "sport" and many other adapts tions from the English language. Long after the war Dada, perhaps centuries hence, when the great struggle is but a bit of difficult history for school children, the people of northern France may still'indicate cheerful ac- quiescence by singing out: "Righto." New words make their way into a language easily and quickly in time of war because of the need for forms of expression that will be easily 'under- stood by the sojourner. When they get it they stay, Funning Under Difficulties. The patience with which the peo- ple bear the long -continued hardships and perils of military occupation is beyond praise, To -day from a To- ronto artillery officer I heard this story, Up near Armentieres close by his battery was the tiny farm of a peasant, who was well-to-do in that he owned two horses. When the bat- tery located near him he was prepar- ing his land for a crop of wheat. When the Germans replied to the Canadian fire most of the shells fell in the prospective wheat field. They were what is known as "light stuff," and the holes they made were filled in without too great difficulty. The work of preparation was almost completed —under daily shell fire, be it remem- bered—when a bursting shell killed both the old man's horses. It was a sore stroke, but the offer to loan a pair of battery horses was thankfully accepted, all the shell holes were fill- ed, seeding was completed, and the Canadians remained long enough to see the plucky old fellow reap a good crop in spite of the Beebe. For Native Land. That represents one sort of pa- tience. Another is displayed by tens of thousands of householders, from the owners of the fine old chateaux to the colliers of the mining villages, who have had men of alien race bil- leted in their houses ever since 1014. It is borne uncomplainingly "pour la Petrie." Often, alas, the room of the eon of the household would be empty but for "les Anglais." The French- men who have made the last great sacrifice are numbered by hundreds of thousands, and the end is not yet. The suggestion is heard occasionally, that there will be many marriages be- tween British soldiers and French girls after the war. Assuredly much laughter, that is not all masculine, is heard in billets and elsewhere. There are very many men in transport and similar services located all the way from the English Channel to the bat- tlefront, It would be strange if the little archer did not hit some of them• ?alliances With British. The resultant crop of marriages— big or little—will be to the advantage of Trance, because it will- bind the people on opposite sides of the Chan- nel still more closely together, One of the great discoveries of the war has been France's finding of her soul. Another has been the discovery that the supposedly soft and degener- ating, if not already degenerated, Englishman is as hardy and tough and resourceful a fighter as his an- cestors, who followed the great Ed- ward or the dauntless Henry to France centuries ago. A little icicle] intermixture might benefit both na- tions, Britain needs France's men- tal alertness and adaptability; France could find a place for English phy- sique and resolution.
