"I did the beat I could for you," said the other, with a touch of sever- ity. "If I'd treated you as some men would have done, I should just have let you walk straight into the trap." Flower gave an apologetic cough. "I've had a lot of worry lately, Jack," he said, humbly; "come in and have something. Perhaps it will clear my head a bit." "I told 'em you wouldn't be back till twelve at least," said the mate, as Flower rapidly diagnosed his com- plaint and ordered whisky, "perhaps not then, and that when you did turn up you'd sure to be the worse for liquor. The old lady said she'd wait all night for the pleasure of seeing your bonny face, and as for your be- ing drunk, she said she don't suppose there's a woman in London that has had more experience with drunken men than she has." "Let this be a warning to you, Jack," said the skipper, solemnly, as he drained his glass and put it thoughtfully on the counter. . "Don't you trouble about me," said Fraser; "you've got all you can do to look after yourself. I've come oub to look for a policeman; at least, that's what I told them." "All the police in the world couldn't do me any good," sighed Flower. "Poppy's got tickets for a concert to- night, and I was going with her. I can't go like this." "Well, what are you going to do?" inquired the other. Flower shook his head and ponder- ed., "You go back and get rid of them the best way you can," he said, at length, "but whatever you do, don't "Not before we sail at three in the morning," said the mate, glibly; "exq haps not .then, X often have to take the ship out without bilin,.WO been' away six weeks at a stretch before now." "Well, we'll stay here till he does come," said the elder lady. "I'll have his cabin, and my step -daughter '11 have to put up with your bed:" "If you're not gone by the time we start, I shall have to have you put off," said Fraser. "Those of us who live longest '11 see the most," said Mrs. Tipping, calmly. An hour or two passed, the mate sitting smoking with a philosophy which he hoped the waiting mariner at the "Admiral Cochrane" would be able to imitate. He lit the lamp at last, and going on deck, ordered the cook to prepare supper. Mother and daughter, with feelings of gratitude, against which they fought strongly, noticed that the table was laid for three, and a little later, in a somewhat awkward fashion, they all sat down to the meal together. "Very good beef," said Mrs. Tip- ping, politely. "Very nice," said her daughter, who was exchanging glances with the mate. "I suppose you're very comr fortable here, Mr. Fraser?" The mate sighed. "It's all right when the old man's away," he said. de- ceitfully. "He's got a dreadful tem- per." "I hope you didn't get into trouble through my coming aboard the other night," said Miss Tipping, softly. "Don't say anything about it," re- plied the mate, eyeing her admiringly. "I'd do more than that for you, if 1 could." Miss Tipping, catching her moth- er's eyes, bestowed upon her a glance of complacent triumph. "You don't mind us coming down here, do you?" she said, languishing- ly. "I wish you'd live here," said the unscrupulous Fraser; "but of course I know you only come here to try and see that fellow 'Robinson," he added, gloomily. "I like to see you, too," was the' reply. "I like you very much, as a friend." The prate in a melancholy voice thanked her, and to the great annoy- ance of the cook, who had received strict orders from the forecastle to listen as much as he could, sat in sil- ence while the table was cleared. "What db you say to a hand at .cards?" he said, after the cook had finally left the cabin. "Three -handed cribbage," said Mrs. Tipping, quickly; "it's the only game worth playing." No objection being raised, the mas- terful lady drew closer to the table, and concentrating energies of no mean order on the game, successfully play- ed hands of unvarying goodness, aided by a method of pegging which might perhaps be best described as dot and carry one. "You haven't seen anything of this Mr. Robinson since you were here last, I suppose?" said Fraser, noting with satisfaction that both ladies gave occasional uneasy glances at the clock. "No, an' not likely to," said Mrs. Tipping; "fifteen two, fifteen four, fif- teen six, and a pair's eight." "Where's the fifteen six?" inquired Fraser, glancing over. "Eight and seven," said the lady, pitching the cards with the others and beginning to shuffle for the next deal. "It's very strange behavious," said the mate; "Robinson, I mean. Do you think he's dead?" "No, I don't," said Mrs. Tipping, briefly. "Where's that captain of yours?" Fraser, whose anxiety was be- coming too much for his play, leaned over the table as though about to speak, and then, apparently thinking better of it, went on with the game. "Eh?" said Mrs. Tipping, putting have a scene. I'll stay here till you come and tell me the coast is clear." "And suppose it don't clear?" said Fraser. "Then I'll pick you up at Green- wich in the morning," said Flower. "And suppose they've still aboard?" said Fraser. "I won't suppose any such thing," said the other, hotly; "if you can't get rid of two women between now and three in the morning. you're not much of a mato. If they catch me I'm ruined, and you'll be responsible for it." The mate, staring at him blankly, opened his mouth to reply, but being utterly unable to think of anything adequate to the occasion, took up his glass instead, and, drinking off the contents, turned to the door. He stood for a moment at the threshold gazing at Flower as though he had just dis- covered points about him which had hitherto escaped his notice, and then made his way back to the wharf. "They're still down below, sir," said Joe, softly, as he stepped aboard, "and making free and as comfortable as though they're going to stay a month." Fraser shrugged his shoulders and went below. The appearance of the ladies amply confirmed Joe's remark. "Never can find one when you want her cards face downwards on the table him, can yob?" said the elder lady, inH and catching his eyes. "Where?" playful allusion to the police. "Oh, nowhere,'' said Fraser, awk- "Well, I altered my mind," said , wardly. "I don't want to be drag - Fraser, amiably.

Fraser hesitated. "Well, I'll come with you, if you like," he said, slowly. "And suppose they go away and leave you behind?" objected Mrs. Tip- ping. "Oh, well, you'd better stay then," said the mate, wearily, "unless we take a couple of the hands with us. How would that suit you? They can't sail with half a crew." Mrs. Tipping, who was by no means as anxious for a sea voyage as she tried to make out, carefully pondered the situation. "I'm going to take an arm of each of 'em and Matilda '11 take yours," she said, at length. i " `,r M2ri4u"'o$lVtgE .Ni=v' WIVfPA` t`elEMZENM.si" isi. 1.x:MMint {+!1 is paged by automatic machin- e in strong white cotton bags ancl cartons at the refinery.

"Well, we'd like to see him," said Mrs. Tipping, after a pause. "You see, you put me in a difficut- ly," said Fraser; "if the skipper doesn't come aboard, you're going with us, I understand?" Mrs. Tipping nodded. "Exactly," she said, sharply. "That'll gab ane into trouble, if any- thing will," said the mate, gloomily. "On the other hand, if I tell you where he is now, that'll get ane into trouble, too." He sat back and drummed on the table with his fingers. "Well, I'll. risk it," he said, at length; "you'll find him at 17, Beaufort Street, Bow."

"Go on," he said, nodding. "Wot, ain't the rest of you comin'?" inquired the cabman, eyeing the crowd at the gate, in pained surprise. "No. 17, Beaufort Street, Bow," said Mrs. Tipping, distinctly, as she put her head out of the window. "You could sit on 'er lap," continu- ed the cabman, appealing. No reply being vouchsafed to this , suggestion, he wrapped himself up ua various rugs and then sat down sud- denly before they could unwind them- selves. Then, with a compassionate', "click" to his horse, started up the I road. Except for a few chance way- farers and an occasional coffee-stall,1 the main streets were deserted but they were noisy compared with Beau- fort. Every house was in absolute darkness as the cab, with instinctive deference to slumber, crawled slowly i up and down looking for No. 17. It stopped at last, and the mate, 1 springing down, opened the door, and handing out the ladies, Ied the way up a flight of steps to the street door. "Perhaps you won't mind knock- , ing." he said to Mrs. Tipping, "and don't forget to tell the cap'n I've done this to oblige you because you insist- I ed upon it." "Not loud enough," said Miss Tip- ping. The bolts were drawnbackloudly and the chain grated; then the door was flung open, and a• big red -whiskered man, blinking behind a candle, gruf- fly inquired what they meant by it. "Come inside," said Mrs. Tipping to her following. "Ain't you come to the wrong house?" demanded the red -whiskered man, borne slowly back by numbers. "I don't think so," said Mrs. Tip- ping, suavely; "I want to see Captain Flower." "Well, you've come to the wrong house," said the red -whiskered man, shortly, "there's no such man here." "Think," said Mrs. Tipping. Mrs. Tipping, seizing the knocker,? knocked loud and long, and after a ; short interval repeated the perfor-' mance. Somebody was heard stir- ring upstairs, and a deep voice cried; out that it was coming, and perempt- orily requested them to cease knock- ing. "That's not Flower's voice," said Fraser. I. SOP Ito was flecked with tallow. "Go away directly," he roared; "how dare you come disturbing people like this?" (To be continued). The proof of Mother Seigers Syrup is in the taking.

How the Coldstream Made An Im- mortal Charge Against Great Odds. "It was worth living, even if I am killed to -morrow, just to have seen such men charge," said one com- manding officer whose speech to his men after the Guards had been into action will be remembered, almost syllable by syllable, by all who heard it. Nor in war at any time is any scene more moving that when, the battle over, a regiment lines up under some shelter in the misty dawn to take toll of the missing, 'writes W. Beach Thomas, who is with the Brit- ish armies in the field. However gaily men fight, at that moment they love not war. And the Guards fought the gayest fight of which I ever heard news or any troubadour dreamed; and fought it against bitter odds. For the first time in history three battalions of the Coldstream Guards went over in line. They were swept and raked by rifle and machine-gun fire from many directions, and all the while the shells fell right and left. For 200 yards the blast in their front and flank was enough to have stopped a locomotive. It did not stop the men. In the midst of this blast, suddenly they came upon a trench from which ranks of enemy rose. The sight was all they needed to add the last touch to their fighting spirit. Irresistible Bayonets. The enemy fired rifles and threw bombs. The Guards used only the bayonet. Each man, they said, got his man. The enemy fought now in the open as well as below ground, and the sight of these new regiments, body to body, hand to hand, stabbing, hitting, even wrestling, so stirred the Irish- men coming up in support that they rushed forward at the double to take their part. The enemy bad fought well. He thought he could stop the Guards; but the bayonet was irresistible, and of a sudden the desperation of the struggle broke. "We've ilt hed 'em and they rose like a covey of partridges." The battle became.a chase. The prisoners who surrendered were just given leave to hurry back without escort to our lines, and took the permission at the gallop. All this while, whether advancing or stopping in shell holes or trenches, officers greeted one another as if they were meeting in Piccadilly, with familiar greetings and Christian names and the common chaff of the regiments. Some golden moments were vouch- safed in this immortal charge, which carried the Guards over a mile and more of shell -raked and bullet -raked desert. No Pursuit Apology. Some figures emerge from the ruck of battle in almost ghostly silence. An officer who felt then and afterwards that he had never lived so splendid, so exhilarating a'day in his life—such Hien do really exist—took no cover, but went exultingly forward to any nucleus of resistance he could dis- cover. He killed man after man, some with the pistol, some with a stick. One of his men, as great an athlete if less endowed with Valkyrie spirit, rushed a machine-gun post, shot two of the men, bayoneted a third, and "caught the fourth a clip with my fist." Some rival of another company then claimed the captive machine gun; but the Irishman settled the dispute by taking. the weighty thing under his arm and carrying it back deliber- ately across the open. AFRICA'S WEST COAST. Deep Love of Country Affects Those Who have Lived There. West Africa seems to exercise a kind of fascination over men who have lived there for any time. There is a saying, "Once a coaster, always a coaster;" and out of the most terrible of the stories told to newcom- ers upon West African boats this deep-seated love of life on the coast invariably emerges. Fever -stricken melt leave for civ- ilized countries swearing mighty oaths they never will return, but a few rest- less months at home and they at•e back again, ready enough, no doubt, to abase West Africa, but secretly sub+ jest to its gran fascination.
