W hire Frank, Lily, and his mother'
were tee:Ilene-leg confidences over the

Jerry had taken Captain Denton in

Frank skilful ly piloted his fiancee
outside. "Now, Lil, he said softly,.
"I've. fixed up all this as a little plot
to make your fathoe consent to our
marviage be -fore the two years are up,
.an' Ije-t want you t' watch th' fun.
He's no r'ea what kind of a place we
hev up ileac, anI'll bet when he sees
what we've done heal consent right
away. In fact, I'm •so sure of it that
I've got th' carpenters overhaulin' th'
braise I beneg,thttfronn Cap'en Asa so's
t' be ready in a week or so. I've
ordered furniture, carpets, pictures,
an' boob, an' a whole eompiete fit-
• out, an' ef your father'll only consent,
well get married right away—"
"But, Frank, 1 have to clothes
ready."
"That's all right, sweetheart ---you
don't need t' make many preparations,
for our weddingtt be a, quiet one, with
only a few. Ef my scheme works out,
we'll be able to take a trip into An-
chorviiie an' git all you want. We kin
git th' rest when we mine back from
our trip."
"Have you planned that too ?"
laughed Lillian. "Where do we go,
Sir Galahad?"
Frank looker mysterious. "Guess!" b
he said.
"Boston?"
"No, further'n that."
"Montreal?"
"Furtive, south, sweetheart."
"Nae York?" •
"Further still. Give it utp?"
"Yes."
"What would you say to Rio Janeiro
in South America?"
Lillian Denton gasped. "Rio Jan-
eiro?"
Frank nod'de'd. "Yes, an' I plan
gain' down on th' barkyteen thar'.
Cap'en Thomas has hes wife aboard
an' a fine cosy little cabin, an' he said
he'd be glad t' take us. We'd call on
my friends •down in Rio an' I plan -on
corrin' back by Royal Mail •steamer to
New York. We'll g+o all up th' eoast
an' call in at Cartagena, La Guayra,
where the people in `Westward Hol' t
went, an' a number o' th' West Indie 0
Islands. Won't that be some honey- a
moon, LII?"
"Oh, Frank, it'll be a dream and t
simply glorious_, What a head my 0
fi ;heeniar 1 -as! He's planned every •
-
thing! Beta -what if papa doesn't -
consent ?" - o
We.sthaver waved his hand. "Lila
he said, "I have a hook baited for you
dad that he'll be bound to bite on
I'm a -gain' t' shaw him around th
plant this afternoon, en' you jest sa
nawtthin' but saw wood. He ain't got
a ehance to dive the twine, far
know jest exactly what an o1' sailo
likes,"
After dinner Frank took his visi
tors in hand. "Now, Cap'en, jest le
me scow you around our plant. All
that fish you see dryin' in th' flakess
for th' Brazilian Government. Thos
with th' long whiskers s'tickin' au
from the are hake; those with th.
black lines an' th' devil's finger -nark
on them are haddock, 'and theew's a
go. d p-l:e o' cod, Pollock, an' some Busk
among them. What are they worth:?
Anywhere from three to five an' a
half dollars a quintal or hundred
weight. Thar's 'asst ten thousand
dollars' worth o' fish out here now...
The work o' tendin' th' fish layin' of
tri' flakes is done by a lot o' th' 'boys
an' girls around here, as well as the
cid men. It's a good job for an old
man. He kin potter around turnip' th'
fish over an' eoverin' them up with
that burlap ef th' sun's too strong
an' when it looks like rain he jest
piles them an' covers them over with
tarpaulins. Not hard work by any
means."
Captain Denton grunted, and Lillian
began to wonder if this was the bait
Frank was holding out for her fattier.
Frank led the way from the yard
towards the big building. "Here's, th'
lower floor whar' we prepare th' fish
jest as it comes from th' boats an' th'
vesse, They're dressed first, gutted+
heads taken off an' Hien washed. After
that we put them into pickle with salt
and brine, These 'big hogsheads are
full o' fish in pickle, and when they've
Inn in th' salt long enough we take
them out, wash them, and after
kenchin' to drain off, we lay them out,
an th'flakes to dry in th' sun. After
they're dried, we store them up in th'
loft o' this buildin' ontil we hev enough
t' make a shipment,"
"An' from there they go down south
as bacel•ao for them yeller Brazilieros
to clhew," added Captain Denton. "Eh,
eh, but it's a great business:"
After leaving the fish -house, with
its score of busy workers dressing
and salting, Frank pointed out how
he had brougtht a supply of fresh
water down from the mill dam and in-
stalIed a earrier system from the
wharf to the main +building, "Fresh
water is necessary in washin' fish
properly, while this litter earrier is
one of the' best things we've got. It's
fist an ordinary farmer's feed an' lit-
er carrier run on pulleys an' a single
verhead rail, but I find I kin save an

"De you heave away all th' insides

There was the usual coterie of an.
tient farmers and fishermen lolling
upon the empty 'boxes:. piled outside
under the porch, and when the "young
boss" anal; his visitors steeppped*up, they
nodded respecltfuller. Frank opened
the door and' ushered the Denton into
the cool. shade of the building, and
it was fully evident that the old lap-
etain was iinterested.
"An' what dc'ye stock here, Frank?"
he enquired afiter a glance around.
"'Mostt everything-, Cep'en," ` ans-
wered the" other. ` Provisions, pota-
toes, butter, eggs, an' all sorbs osf eat-
able truck, We supply the village an'
th' vessel, y'lcnow. Then we hev ship's

gines, farmin' implements, an' patent
fencin' as well—in Tact, I'm 'represen-
tative in Long Cove an' vicinity for
nigh a hundred different concerns."
The old sailor looked around.the
piled shelves and the long counters.
!He scanned the pouters upon the 'wa! 1,
ur and the boxes,:barrels, and bales
, .which encumbered the sides of the
' room, The scent of tar, oil, paint,

I dd. sailor's notions of•trade.•The,
✓ fancies of long watches at sea came to
t his mind, and for a space he pictured

stove on•winter days, and lolling with

The Baby's Health,
The first three or fa u'r months
baby's life are one's Which mean mu
for the future health etf-t'ae child). T
mother's milk is the. only food tie
was ever •meant for ,the young bab
and all other foods are poor elitist
"tutes at their' best. 1f the moth;
finds she ceneot supply the need•
amount ef food, a bottle feeding give
regularly as a .supplement will usea"1l
overcome this dif tulty. In no cast
should she give up breast feeding a
long as it is possible for her to cot.
tinue and ,hold her own health.
The nursing 'mot+leer's diet is th
• one thing' that seens •oftenest to g
I wrong. Everyone she meet's tells he
of some article sof food she should n
eat. If she obeys all the advice sh
receives,. this poor mother has littll
left in her dietary which she dare t
eat. A good rule to follow is all tha
agrees with the ;pother will agre
with the :baby.
The mother should avoid sill excess
in eating, .and that ,being done, to eat
the food to which she was •accustomed
before baby carne, if it gives her no
indigestion. ' The diet should be a. gen-
eral one and a11• monotony • should be
avoided. Milk may be drunk 'between
meals, and with -•them, except where it
is taken to the exclusion of, or spoils
the appetite for other food. A light
lunch taken between meals to supply
the needed bodily nourishment is ad-
visable if it dines not retard the ap-
petite at meal time.
Books may .be written on artifi�cia1
feeding of infants, but when it is neo
essary to resort to this measure it i
more satisfactory as well as eongenia
to baby's health to consult the family
physician, and after diagnosing the
case, for him to prescribe food re-
quirements. Even then several form -
alas must be *thoroughly tried before
baby arrives at a satisfactory and
agreeable diet.
One mother, who is about to wean
her baby, asks whish is the best kind
of 'bottle to use. By all means, the
graduated one with a wide neck so it
can be easily and thoroughly 'cleaned
is the best. Immediately after feeding,
clean the bottle by first rinsing in cold
water, then let it stand filled with
boric acid solution. Finally wash in
scalding soapsuds and rinse in clean
hot water several times, and set to
drain.
A young mother says that her baby
has hiccoughs so much. Hiccoughs are
not serious, as a rule, but are uneom-
fortable and distressing. They are
caused by a spasmodic contraction of
the diaphragm and a simple relief is
to place a few grains of sugar upon
the end of the tongue. A few .drops of
hot. water given very slowly will usu-
ally cause the .cessation, of these
paroxyms, also.
A yeung mother of twenty is wor-
ried about her baby's eyes, for they
are sometimes. inflamed. She wishes to
take the best of care of them, that
they may be strong when the child
starts to •sehaol. The first care of the
eyes rests with the physician who
puts antiseptics into them to prevent
any infection that they may get der -
ng leaby's introduction into the world.
Alter that the •eyes should be washed
out each morning with a -clean piece
of cotton •soaked in fresh solutien ,of
boracie acid, using one level teaspoon-
ful to a cup of boiled water. This is
kept up during the first year. Any
discharge of the eyes should not be

How 11 Make My Rugs.
I take all the old clothes that I can-
not use for anything, and I use these
in making crocheted rugs. I also use
old plush •coats for •this purpose. First
I rip all the seams and then I place
them together so they will fit to make
the shape d'esired•. Then I take those
old, bags that are of no use. I trim
the ragged edges off and cut then to
fit the shape the coating is.•eut. About
two thicknesses Zif bag sewed together,
snakes it softer and holds the coating
stiffer so the rug won't roll up under
the feet. Sew all together with corn -
inion cord you get from the .store on
packages. These make good porch'
mats es they gather al1'the sand very
asp •. ,
When I inake crocheted rugs, I tear i
all iny, materials in strips about three•h
quarters of an inch wide and; instead
of sewing them, I tie then. With a
little care and. experience this can be
done and the rug will look as neat as
when stewed.Overlap . the • two ends •
to be joined about an inch, ,and, with
1 point .of scissors make a cut about x t
quarter of an inch. 'long in the centre
of that. overlapped. Then. take the end
e Iy
1 of the strip being adjoined and poke
end through this scut. Draw down
'firmly. This will make a neat, firm '
knot with a great saving of time. If
one is careful in combining color, very a
attractive and inexpensive rugs can
be matte. --Mrs. W. C.

precious a thing to be treated lightly.
The baby always seems. to be fasci-
