Cecily sat quite still with her hands
clasped. She did not understand what
had happened, and did not realise
that there was no possibility of
getting back to the island. She sup-
posed Jack's present movements
were directed 'co that end, but, as
she saw that they were drifting far-
ther away from it, she said—
"What has happened, Jack? Are
we is danger?"
He raised a very grave face towards
her, but said cheerily—
"We must abandon all hope of
going back to take them off, I fear."
"But—but—" began Cecily.
Jack however was using all his
strength to get down the mast which,
in their disabled condition, was an
extra source of danger. Finally he
accomplished 'chis, and then, having
thrown it overboard, he came and
sat down by Cecily's side.
"My darling," he said gently, "you
are a brave women, I know. It is
best to tell you the truth. We are
at the mercy of the wind and waves.
Unless the storm, which is rising now,
abates, or we are picked up by some
passing streamer or fishing -boat, we
are not likely ever to see land again."
Cecily drew a long breath, and for
some moments maintained a comple-
te silence, Then she putt her hand
into his and said softly—
"At least we are together, Jack!"
"Yes," he answered, "we are
together."

with solemn tenderness. So throu-
ghou'c that long night they sat hand
in 'hand, speaking little, but each
strengthened in this terrible hour,
when death seemed to stare them in
the face, by 'the presence of the
other, Once Cecily said—
"Take that honied black wig off,
Jack, that I may see you as I know
you best."
He obediently took it off and drop-
ped it overboard.
Another time she cried suddenly.
with a little sob—
"Oh, my poor father! My poor
father 1"
But for the most part she was
calm and strong. In tru'ch, though
she did not hold her life lightly, the
fact that she was with her beloved
brought atonement with it, Fate• it
seemed, had willed that they should
not live together. Then was not the
next bes'c thing that they should die
together clasped in each other's
arms?
Thus the night passed and the
dawn came and found them still
sfcting, white and haggard -looking,
but content, hand in hand. Cecily's

:read had fallen on Jack's shoulder,
and for a few minutes, overpowered
by weariness and emotion, she slept.
The storm had gone down. Already
the blue waves of the Mediterranean
were resuming their normal cairn.
The Bangor of being swamped had
passed, though the danger of death
from starvation was present.
"Benet•," thought Jack despairing-
ly, "to slip together into those blue
waters and so sink painlessly out of
life !"
He was still and cramped from
sitting so long in one position, and
his clothes, like Cecily's, were soaked
with the waves which had so con-
stantly washed over them during the
night. But the would not stir for
fear of waking her. Let her remain
as long as possible in oblivion of the
terrible fate that lay before them.
Presently the level rays of the ris-
ing sun, shining on her eyelids, awoke
her. She started up, and then in an
instant remembered.
"Oh, Jack!" she cried; and, look-
ing round her, saw the smooth sea.
"The scorn, is over!" she said,
"Surely, we are saved!"
He was silent. How could he
tell her that, though one danger was
past, the other was more pressing
than over and the more dreadful
fate of the 'cwo? His silence alarmed
her. A moment's thought showed
her the truth. For a few minutes
her fortitude forsook her, and she
burst into tears,
"Oh, my darling!" said Jack.
"Don't do that! There is always
hope that we may be picked up,"
She checked her sobs by a great
effort, and smiled at him through
her tears.
"I am very selfish," she said at
length. "Here (lave I been sleeping
comfortably all night leaning against
you, and you must be worn out.
You must lie down at the bottom
of the boat and steep. 1 will keep a
good look out, and wake you in an
instant if I see anything that looks
like a boat or a ship."
Jack was, in truth, worn out, and,
thougih for a few moments he resi-
sted, he finally yielded and, s'cretch-
ing himself at the bottom of the boat,
fell asleep.
Cecily sat and watched him with
tenderness. The rosy glow in the
sky deepened. Far away on the
horizon could be seen the hazy out-
lines of the Carrara Mountains, invi-
sible when the sun was high, but
now looking like rose-coloured clouds
with the sun coshing up behind then.
I3y-and-by the sun emerged com-
pletely, the rose, tints died off from
the sea, the Carrara Mountains
disappeared :frorn• view, and it was
it was broad daylight once more.
'.Chen, as Cecily strained her eyes
to gaze round the horizon, she fan-
cied she discerned a litde speck far
Doff upon the sea, eSho looked trem-
ulously from it to Jack's eleeping
face. Her heart beat fast, Should
She awake hips? • What if it proved to
be nothing., and she should have
shortened his much-needed rest for
a false hope?
The speck upon the water grew
larger and larger. Surely it was a
ship of some kind? It was not a
eteainer, for no smoke was visible,
but pesently as the sun caught the
object it became tolerably certain
that it was a sailing craft of some

was lying, bent over him softly brea-

"Oh,Jack," cried Cecily, with the
sletepnees of despair in Inc•voice, "it

"My cleared," said Jack, trying
to t al01 her, "they will not l„live tts
if they see us, but the difficulty is
to attract their attention. We must
put up some sort of signal. But
what have we got?”
"I have a white petticoat!" 'cried
Cattily, forgetting her despair in the
stimulating effect of action. She
slipped it oil' in an instant—a dainty
garment of lace and cambric—and
Jack found a spar., tied the petticoat
to it, and hoisted it up as a signal.
Anxiously they watched the little
bark on which all their hopes depen-
ded. Was there any sign that -those
on board her saw them? For a long
time it seamed doubtful; but she
was obviously coaling nearer. At
length she came so well into sight
that they could see she was a fishing -
smack, rather larger than the yach'c
they were in; and the next moment
a flag was run up to her mast -head.
Jack could not make out the signal,
as he had no glasses, but he did not
doubt that it was in answer to their
v,hite flag of distress. After another
five minutes this hope became a
certainty.
"We are saved!" he said, turning to
to Cecily. "They are coming to
fetch us!"
Cecily flung herself into his arms in
a passion of tears.
Jack's eyes were moist as he stro-
ked her hair and strove to soothe her.
Buc the long strain had broken her
usually strong nerves and she could
not immediately control herself. She
clung to frim, sobbing piteoously. It
was not until he told he told her that
the fishing -boat was approaching so
near that everybody on board would
see her that She roused herself to the
necessary effort of self -command.
The captain of the fishing smack
hailed them, and Jack in a few words
explained their situation.
The kindly Italian fishermen were
full of concern and sympathy. They
got up the little rowing -boat Which
they towed behind them, and sent
a man off in her at once to fetch
the shipwrecked pair. In a few
minutes Jack and Cecily were safe
on board the fishing -smack.
There was not much accommodati-
on for ladies on bourn the rough
little craft; but the sailors, who
were as handy as sailors are all the
world over, made their little cabin.

must be told now. Whatever he
might choose to say, she had made
up her mind she would marry Jack
now. They two, who had faced
death together, coujd never be parted
again.
"Jack," she said to him when she
fishermen had retreated to the other
end of the boat, "did Mrs. Mansfi-
eld ever speak to you—since you came
back to Alessio, I mean, in this
game?"
"Yes, she did," said Jack. "She
waylaid me one evening on the beach
and told me there was no use my
masquerading before her because she
had found me out."
"She .hadn't though," said Cecily,
"until 1 told her."
"Well, at any rate, she made;me
confess. And 'then she promised sho
would not betray me. She further-
more mysteriously hinted that if I
would leave myself in her hands she
would in some way so further my
interests that I should be able to
marry you before very long."
"She is fond of playing the Dews
ex machine!" said Cecily. "A little
too fond of it, I think!" She paused
a moment and then added, "Jack, 1
am ready to marry you whenever
you like!"
"My darling!" he exclaimed in ra-
her garments by their tiny stove and
had prepared food for her. She
quickly dressed herself and came out
of the cabin,
Jack rose hastly to his feet and
went to meet her, and the captain
busied himself in finding a sheltered
corner for her to set. Then Jack
came and sat beside her, and told her
that the fishing -smack was most
fortunatetly bound for Alassio,, that
they would pass the island, and if
the unfortunate captives there had
not yet been discovered they would
take them oft.
'Phis information recalled Cecily to
a sense of the affairs of everyday
life .
Jack could never again mesquerade
as Antonio the fisherman. If Mrs.
Mansfield had not already told her
father the truth on that subject, he
father will, seriously object now,
though he will be a little angry at
first at this absurd 'crick you have
played on him. In any case," she
concluded," whether he is angry or
not, I am going to harry you."
No consideration of the shipper's
presence could restrain Jack this
time from snatching a hasty kiss,
It seemed to Cecily after that that
the skipper tools extraordinarily great
pains to look constantly the other
way.
As they approached the island
both became silent, They strained
their eyes eagerly to see if there
were any people on it.
The skipper presently turned to
Jack,
"They are still there," he said.
"I can see them, Shall I put in 7"
"Yes, please," replied Jack.
And he and Cecily held each other's
hands as the boat ran towards the

Pullets 130 1.47 4.41) 2.90
Faeh yeer the pullets were more
profitable than the hens. It is noti-
ceable that the average profit from
the pullets during the three years
more than doubled that from the
hens. This is due to their better
production, especially in winter time,
the best season for the sale of eggs.
According to the above experiment•
it seems advantageous to raise, each
year, a sufficient number of pullets
to replace all year old hens, except
those required for the production of
hatching eggs. I•Ien eggs are usu-
ally more fertile and give stronger
chicks.
The hens must be carefully sele-
cted in the fall, only those of best
type and production being retained
for breeding.
According to our experiments,
the cost of raising pullets is more
than offset by the sale of the year
old hens in the fall

What Makes a Town ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a community
centre where may be established business, educational, relig-
ious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section
realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.
What Maintains it ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
op -keep. of the institutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
direohly connected therewith. Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tion,:, and undertakings no town could thrive,
Who is rimy j; cted?
Every citizen either 01 or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in canting on any good
cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should. ,, , T-LZI
Publicity is Required
In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
It is ever she champion of worthy causes and philanthripie
and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and
fully carry out its natural prerogatives, it must in tarn have the
financial eupport of the community it serves, When needing
