" Halloa, boy, what do you wan ?" cried
the skipper, catching eight of him.
" Want my father, r -Sam," re lied the
youth, who had kept his ears open.
The skipper got up from his eat and
eyed him curiously ; Messrs., Lege, and
Green, drawing near, explained he situ-
ation. Now the. skipper ' was a worldly
man; and•Samuel Brown, A. B, hen 'at
home, played a _brass instrument in the
Salvation Army band. He rega ded the.
boy kindly and spoke him fair.
"Don't run away," he Said, anxinusly.
" I'm not ping to, sir," said Master
Jonee, charmed with his manner, and he
watched breathlessly as the skipper stepped
forward and, peering •down -the ferecastle,
called loudly for Sam.
" Yes, sir," said a worried voice.
. "Your boy's asking after you," said the
skipper, grinning madly.
"He's not, my boy, sir," replied ' Mr.
Brown, through his clenched teeth. '
" you'd better come up and see
him," said the other. " Are you sure he
isn't, Sam ?"
Mr, Brown made no reply, but c4ming on
deck met Master Jones's mile 'of ,greeeing
with an icy stare, and atarted convulsively
as the ekipper beckoned him aboaxd.
"He's been rather neglected, Sarn," said
the skipper, shaking his head.

violently. h' I tell you I've never .seen 'fin

the skipper—(" Hold your tongue, Sam,)

to manifest a little °once n in his wellfare,
the skipper calling Mr. rown up io fewer

•With the huoyancy of child t ood he had
forgotten hie trouble by the i orning, and
ran idly abont the 'ship as be ore, until in
the afternoon they came in sig t t of Dimport.
Mr. Legge, who had eonsid rable respect
for the brain hidden in that small head,
pointed it out to him, and wi h some curi-
osity waited for his remarks. ,

quietude fro the other side of the deck.
The boy, un onscious of the i terest excited
by his move ents, walked res lesely up and

"Boy's w rried," said the skipper, aside,
to the mate "cheer up, son y.'

which had a t on his brow wh n he thought
of the cold -b eroded` desertion if Mr. Brown
gave way to an expression of erene content.
" Well, w at's he going to o ?" inquired
the mate, in a low voice.
"That ne dn't worry us," aid the skip-
per, " Let hinge take their ours° ; that's
my motto."
He took t e wheel from Ha ry ; the little
town came c oser - the houses separated and
disclosed roads, and the boy discovered to
hie disappointment that the c urch stood on
grbund of it own, and not on the roof of a
lase red ho se as he had s pposed. He
ran forward as they got close , and, perch-
ing up in th� bows until they were fast to
the quay, looked round mearc ingly for any
signs of Sam.
iThe skipper locked up t e cabin, and
then calling on one of the a ore -hands to
keep an eye on the forecaetle, left it open
far the convenience of the a all paasenger.
Harry, Charlie and the cook etepped ashore.
The ekipper and mate followe ,and the lat-
ter, looking back from some • 'stance, called
his attention to the desolat little figure

" I suppose he'll be all rig t," said the
skipper, unetteily ; " there's o'od and a 'bed
down the fo'c's'le. You mi ht just look
round to.night and see he's to fe. I expect
we'll have to take him back ti London with
us;"
They turned up a small roa in the direc-
tion of home and walked on it silence, until
the mate, glancing behind a an acquaint-
ance who had just passed, uttered a sharp
exclamation. The skipper turned, and a
small figure which had just shot round the
corner, stopped in mid-caree and byed him
warily. The men exchanged neasy glances.

SLEEPLESSNESS
Most
Most CoMmon Amongst Women.
The Trouble is Easily Controlled.
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
• Produces
Prompt and Permanent Cures.
When women are afflicted with sleepless-
ness and the many ills arising therefrom,
they should be aware of the fact that they
can, by their own efforts, control and ban-
ish all troubles.
By the uee of Paine's Celery Compound
the impure blood that undermines the stom-
ach and the nervous system can be purified
and enriched, and the nutnber of red cor-
puscles increased. Sleeplessness that causes
much of the nervous prostration among wo-
men is a trouble that Paine's Celery Com-
pound never fails to cure.
Paine's Celery Compound, by its well-
Itnown nourishing powers,enables the nerves
to get back their control over the circul-
ation, so that the blood supply becomes
greatest where it is most needed, as in the
stomach after eating, and leaet where its
presence can only do harm, as in the brain
when sleep is needful.,
If wearied, worried, weak and nervous
women desire full health and a happy life,
we urge thein to give Paine's Celery Com-
pound a fair and honest trial. Paines Cel-
ery Compound has a marvellous record of
rapid and permanent cures that embraces
every city, town and ,village in our broad
Dominion. No other medicine is so frequ-
ently prescribed by our beet physicians ; no
other can so surely meet the ailments of
afflicted women.

Told of Greek Royalty.
The king and queen of Greece live in very
simple style, cheerfully adapting themselves
to the pecuniary circumstances into which
their country has fallen, and it is a well-
known fact, tha.; their .majesties often take a
tram when, they want to run down -to Ath-
ens. -The queen is quite.. an accomplished
yachtswoman, and is an honorary admiral
of the Russian'navy., The king, by the
bye, is probably one of the most prolific
letter writers among the crowned heads of
Europe, and it would be readily guessed
that his favorite correspondent is the Prin.
cess of Wales, Of course, nobody knows the,
contents of these letters; but those who
have had the opportunity of knewing 'say
that whenever the batch of letters for the
king are brought in, he always hurriedly
runs them over in order to see it there is
one from the Princees.-Tid-Bite.

1 Strange Power of a Meteorr-
A very curious observation of the effects
produced by a meteor seen at sea is made
p blic through tbe Hydrographic Bureau in
aehington. Captain Redrnan, of the Ileit-
is steamship Nerano when a little more
than two hundred ntifee southeast of Cape
CI;ear, during a recent voyage from Balti-
mere to Harve, saw a meteor which appear-
ed to pass close to the vessel.
lAn observation of the North Star, taken
son after the appearance of the meteor,
showed a surprieiog result. The direction
of, the ship's -compass needle had been chang-
ed no less than eleven degrees ! -,
That the meteor had caused the change
was indicated by 'the fact that within
tiesenty-four hours the needle returned to its
foemer position, moving slowly back towards

great effects have been produced
