She was a had -featured wofnan. ac-

world. She had" no Idea that she had
sown tbe aeed ofediecontent in a girl's'
heart. Jessie Was always peeky end
fanciful, and she was' that set on Dick
Liversedge that there was no arguing
with her. Dick was all right -a poor,
mild sort, that hadn't got a fling in him.
The dead -and -gone 'Alderson, who had
come home drunk regularly every Satur-
day night, had. been different to that.
s Everyone has their own standard.
Miriam Aidereon Weald havo.chosen a
son-in-law of another pattern.
But Jessie had chosen for herself, and
now, walking up and down Fishergate
staring at the hats in the shop windoWs,
she told heraelf that she had chosen bad-
ly. Her mother Was right. Dick was
"near," and Matha Cranfleld, Ins cou-
sin, who, had been after him for years,
would have a' fortune. All Preston knew
that. Three houses in Broad Street, a
bit o' Money in the bank. Jessie stared
at a bat with a rose in it, and failed to
see its charms throuth her tears. ,
"Let him 'ave 'er," she said to herself.
"I don't want him if he don't want me."
She turned suddenly. Someone bad
thrust his hand through her arm. Dick
Liversedge was looking at the hats,
too.
"Choosin' one ter the weddin', lass?
What's your fancy, now ?"
"What's yours," said Jessie. Her voice
was hard. She dld not look round at
him; he seemed so mighty sure of her.
"What do you say to that ?" he said,
pointing to cne of plain straw. with a
bow of ribbon on it. "Nice and neat
and natty."
"And cheap." said Jessie.
"And cheap I That ain't no fault.
You and me couldn't have it if it was-
n't."
"Couldn't we?" said Jessie. "Martha
Cranfleld has one with two roses in it.
I'm as pretty as her."
"A sight prettier," said Dick. "Mar-
tha's got to be fine, case folks should
forget to look at her. When a lass has
big blue eyes and yellow hair—"
feesie turned a discontented shoulder
to hlm.
"It's easy Wein'," she said. "Words
is cheap, toe."
They walked the length of Fishergate
In silence, and, turning up New Hall
I.nne, passed the mill where most -if
their daylight hours were spent. The
girl looked up at the grim building, with
its darkened windows and its chimneye
looming against the sky.
"Hateful old place!" she said. "Them
wheels gririd, the life out of you. I ain't
never- htn young." She turned Ito the lad
who tvalked beside her; her eyes blazed
all her rebellion at him. "You ain't

"We're old afore our time. I'm sick' of

not imagine other than that the floating
mountain was being driven up the bay
by some freak of win& and current, to
tie great danger of shipping. Its ap-
proach was responsible for some fren•

ping interests into a panic. Orders
were issued to hold up the sailing al

MARITIME INTERESTS EXCITED.
For several hours maritime interests
were intensely excited isy the unheard-
of presence of an iceberg in the bay.
Later when the 'true story of the wonder-
ful feat was flashed over the wire It
seemed so utterly incredible that the ex-
citement, if anything, was increased. It
was not until one of the taatest tugs in
the harbor had steamed down the bay
and wired verification of the story that
the panic was allayed.
Only the providential co-operation of
the winds and tides, and the most fa-
vorable weather conditions enabled the
lug to accomplish the feat. In spite of
the almost Inconceivable resits attendant
upon the berg's capture, not a member
of the tug's crew was injured.

Breakwater every man aboard eves muf-

The length of the iceberg was 500

sufficient to make up the ehortage in

slowly while he returned and recovered

walked very slowly and finally waited
he did not return, and at last, some-
what alarmed, she went back to the
church, which she found shut up. After
