SONNET. ,
(From the Danish of Kai Holberg.)
Woulclat have bell of deep and perfect sound,
So perfect that the metal melta in air
And is all music? Seek thou, then, with care
The fairest virgin in thy land around." .
So Chinese priests of making gongs expound,
Thnt all their folk may hasten, glad, to prayer,
"When thou hast found the woman pure and fair.
Id the hot metal then must she be drowned."
To me, a poet, came a maiden bright,
Who looked not back, who would become a part
Of all my music, die that she might give
My song new harmonics; in the fierce light
And flaming of the furnace of my heart
Her girlhood perished that my aongg might lire!

Waiting For Farquar. f
By CHARLES
i "What! A night like this?" The
.voice was bluff and good natured, but
the words, and the way they were
apoken, seemed to reflect the least
JMt upon the good judgment of the
younger lad opposite. "Why, man,
there has n't been an hour in the last
three days that a sensible skipper
.would think of putting out In, least
ways with a loaded boat. This winds
lip the season, my thinking."
"I told Farquar I'd be on the watch
for him," the other said. " 'Taln't
noways likely he'll come now that's
a fact." His purpose faltered a little,
(With his own rising doubts, and the
brilliantly lighted hall uptown looked
(wonderfully attractive to his fancy's
ye. "I guess I'd better hold on down
Jiere, though. It wouldn't be any
Joke to He outside all night such
.weather as this, and, besides, I've
promised."
"Just as you like, of course," the
young man replied carelessly. "Hope
you'll get your job." The light laugn
expressed Indulgence with childish
.whim. "I shall have to be moving
on. S'long!"
David Ellison found himself stand
ing alone on the slippery pier, watch
ing his companion's retreating figure,
frhere wasn't anything heroic In the
Eltuatlon, so far as he could gee, and
Brand Tatlock's parting words and
Incredulous laugh had left him feel
ing vaguely discontented and uncom
fortable. Why should a fellow be
everlastingly tied up to his work, es
pecially when there wasn't any work
In sight, as Brand had said, nor even
ft prospect of there being any? A
sudden veering of the wind drove a
dash of wet snow In David's face,
and he brushed it away with an Im
patient gesture, pulling his cap lower
over his forehead. Of course, there
wasn't a light schooner on the lake
to-night, and wouldn't be for months,
perhaps.
David Ellison had been In charge
of the dingy little tug. Josephine,
ever since his father's death, some
eighteen months before. The legal
formalities were easily complied
with, for David knew the port and
the boat as a bright pupil In the day
echool knows his spelling book, and
old Peter McHarg stayed by the en
gine. David was looking longingly
through plate glass windows at young
men perched on high stools, or bent
over desks in counting rooms, or
darting about alertly behind screens
of steel network In banks and offices.
That was a kind of life David
dreamed of, while the puffing, busy
little tug towed numberless small
craft inside the stone piers at Luray.
Luray wasn't much of with the larger
lake ports, but a good deal of lumber
was shipped In there from the numer
ous "landings" which formed a semi
circle around the lower end of. the
lake. Luray was pretty near the cen
tre of the curve, and had a railway
terminus. Most of the lumber came
down In small schoonners, and this
made business for tugs like the Jo
sephine. One couldn't trust the wind
Inside the stone piers.
There wasn't a better pilot on the
lake than John Ellison In his lifetime,
but the Josephine had a paying pat
ronage when David took up the work.
That was why he did it. It would
never do to take chances on a new
venture when there was a widowed
mother to be looked after, and Dan
nie half through his high school
course, and Mary needed at home,
while mother was In such poor health.
David dreamed, but his dreams didn't
Interfere with his faithful manage
. ment of the Josephine, and the men
who had known John Ellison said
David was a "chip of the old block."
David took that as a compliment, and
held his patronage by doing his best.
The season was practically over
now. Winter was In the air and in
the sullen, heaving swells of the lake.
Most of the cargoes were In, and pru
dent skippers realized that there
might be a sudden change of weather
almost any time, after the schooners'
keels went tripping their way through
the first scum of thin ice. "Jud"
Farquar was not prudent. It was the
last thing of which his best friend
or his bitterest enemy would think
of accusing him. He had a sturdy,
rugged will of his own, which hurled
defiance in the face of winter winds.
If they happened to come too eagerly
to suit his "rather leisurely move
ments. After the last boat had un
loaded, qnd put about, after the last
car had rattled away to the main
line, freighted with odorous remind
ers of the Michigan forests, the An
dalusia, snub-nosed and stanch, with
her rigging Ice-coated, like the rig
ging of an Arctic whaler, might be
expected to appear at any moment.
Once, may years before, skipper
still laughed at the memory between
iwhiffs of their black pipes the An
dalusia had "frozen In," despite
"Jud" Farjuar's toasts, and h bad

stumped the whole fifty miles back
to his lumber camps and mills, on
foot, sturdily refusing the aid of
steam cars and wagons.
It was Farquar, or rather the
chance of his late coming, which had
kept the Josephine at the pier these
last two days, her fires banked, and
McHarg within easy hailing distance.
The fine weather had "broke for
good," wiseacres declared, squinting
up at the leaden sky, and burying
their chins in coat collars or mufflers
against the chilly southwest wind,
which carried with it an occasional
"spit" of qold rain or a flurry of snow
flakes. Still It would be like Farquar
to put out with the Andalusia in
such bitter weather.
David went down Into the tiny cab
in and lighted a lamp, as soon as he
had watched Brand Tatlock out of
sight. He told himself that he would
brush his hair, put on his best suit,
and follow his whilom companion to
Mechanics' Hall, where the entertain
ment was to be held. He made no
movement to carry out this threat,
however, for, though David was de
cidedly "out of sorts," he had not,
at heart, receded from the position
taken, when he refused Brand's in
vitation. The entertainment would
be a pleasant break In the monotony,
and he felt a little sore at being "tied
up," but there wasn't a doubt that
the Josephine was the place for him,
until he heard definitely from Far
quar. That might be early the next
morning. It certainly couldn't be
later than the next afternoon, when
Farquar was holding his promise to
watch out for the Andalusia. Far
quar must know that "watching out"
was anything but agreeable business
In this kind of weather. Most fellows
wouldn't wait a minute beyond a
reasonable time, David assured him
self, letting his discontent make him
momentarily boastful. Hadn't Brand
Tatlock laughed at the Idea? And
Brand had been on board a Kanawah
schooner almost from the day he
could handle a rope, a manly, clean,
trustworthy fellow he was, too.
David perched on the edge of his
bunk, and picked up a three-days-old
newspaper, running his eye Idly down
the columns of the wrinkled sheet.
His secret grumbling was a mere es
cape valve for bis feelings, evidently,
for ho showed no signs of leaving his
post. It was a folly in which David
seldom indulged, but it's what one
does, not what one's talks about do
ing, which really counts. He listened
now to McHarg'g heavy boots clump
ing down the six steps of the companion-way.
"Wa-altln" up for Farquar, eh,
la-ad?" the engineer shouted In jo
cosely. His voice was heavy, like
his shoes, and he flattened his vowels
after the fashion of a Cornlshman.
"He'll ha-arly put In the nolght. The
wind's rolsln' a-and shlftin' a bit
fro" the sou-west. It'll be blawin'
dead offshore 'fore maernin', I'm
thinkln'."
"I'll keep watch till midnight or
later," David replied, without looking
up. McHarg'g Jesting tone nettled
him. Why must everybody treat his
waiting for Farquar in the light of a
Joke? There wasn't any Joke about
It, that was sure. "Look after the
fires, and turn In, when ever you get
ready."
David divided his, time between the
snug cabin and the comfortless pier.
The former wag much more to his lik
ing, but he found himself growing
drowsy now and then in the close at
mosphere, and, besides, it was nec
essary to keep an occasional eye out
for signals from the offing. For lack
of something better to do, he amused
himself by smiling at the improbabil
ity of seeing any. The wind was
blowing a gale now, and the air was
thickening with damp snow.

It wag late, and David must have
fallen Into a drowse. He came up
with a bound, flashing an alarmed
glance at the little nickel clock over
bis bunk's head. It was 'long past
midnight, and he rushed on deck,
without putting on his heavy Jacket.
He had the shamed sense of having
slept at his post, and it seemed to
htm at the instant that Farquar
must be Just outside the piers, sig
naling frantically for the Josephine.
Strangely enough, the fancy and the
reality blended almost as soon as his
feet struck the wet planks. .A flare
shot up out of the snow-misted dark
ness, and David only paused to note
the direction of the wind before he
dashed down tho companlonway,
shouting to Jacobs and McHarg.
"The wind'll be dead against 'er
In an hour," he warned, counseling
haste. "Start the engine the minute
it'll move 'er. If the Andalusia's
driven out a night like this, she's
done for. We'll have the wind with
us till we come up with 'er."
"It's reesky, la'ad," McHarg
growled under ills beard. "A fool
head taot Farquar has to bo abra-ad
the nolght. Who'd ever 'a' dr'amed
ov It." But David was out of hear
ing. The Josephine was under motion
at last, wheeling sullenly from her
moorings. It seemed hours to David,
though, fortunately, the fires were
well alive, and the start was only a
matter of minutes. The tug forged
ahead briskly, as she fell In with the
wind, her lights cutting a narrow
furrow through the black night. An
other flare flamed up, and another,
as though the Andalusia was grow
ing impatient of her plight, as Indeed
she was. She seemed to have shifted
her position; possibly David surmised
drifting before the wind toward the
open lake. He had a boyish impulse
to plunge through the glass front of
the pilot house, and drag the Joseph
ine faster, faster than the grunting
engine wag carrying her along. He
must not be too late he, the fellow
who had waited for Farquar these
two days, and slept at his post like
a land lubber at the last critical mo
ment, David was not too late, but It was
a close shave. Once, the Josephine,
caught up a huddle of rollers at the
stern, threatened to transfix the An
dalusia amidships. Once, the Anda
lusia darted away like a wild thing,
straight for the open water, but the
gust lulled to let the tug come up,
and heave her cable; then, the stout
cable parted, between a mighty puff
of wind offshore and the strain of
starting the tow, and David held
what little breath he had left until
a second cable was made fast.
It was a hard pull after that, the
engine below grunting and snorting
and hissing, like a black giant in
pain; the Josephine splitting the big
rollers into thin spray on her weath
er bow; and the new cable straining
and creaking, as though Its first ser
vice might be its last; but it was over
In due time,- as the hardest things
are sure to be, and the few skippers
in port pointed wondering fingers at
the Andalusia next morning, as she
lay at her moorings, a veritable ice
ship, coated from stem to stern with
the frozen spray, like an old veteran
bearing the scars of battle.
"So you waited for Farquar, eh?"
that eccentric individual Inquired
later the same day, when David came
on board the Andalusia, by appoint
ment, to collect his fee for the "tow."
"Wal, young man, if you hadn't, I
reckon nobody 'ud 'a' had the trou
ble o' waltin' for Farquar any more.
I ain't what you might call reel
timid" the stubby chin wrinkled
grotesquely at the suggestion "but
I don't mind ownln' 'at my back hair
begun to curl some little."
"Bad night," David admitted laco
nically. It appeared a small thing,
now It was all over. "Yes, I did hold
back a day or two, though I didn't
much expect you'd put out after the
weather broke. No" refusing a
proffered roll of bills "just the usu
al charge. We have to take the bit
ter with the sweet."
"Jud" Farquar was eyeing the
young face before him thoughtfully,
as his money disappeared from sight
In the depths of David's wallet. He
wag rather an undersized man, with
sharp, restless, beady eyes, and a lip
and chin which indexed his obstinate
self-will.
"We're short a man down below,"
he began tentatively, jerking a stub
by thumb In the general direction of
his last night's adventure, "One o'
them big concerns swallered 'lm up
a month ago, slick an' clean, like as
Jonah did the whale." The remark'
able comparison, apparently, gave
him courage to make the plunge, for
he went on briskly: "Bookkeeper we
called Simmons, though, 'twa'n't all

stance, and put my letters into shape
for sendln'. Don't s'pose you'd cars
to pen up under a root with such a
job's that, providln' a man would
make It wuth your while?"
"Indeed I should like nothing bet
ter," David responded promptly.
Wasn't It almost exactly what he had
dreamed of ever since his school
days? "I could give it a trial, any
how, while there isn't much doing
on the lake. I can't thank you enough,
Mr. Farquar."
"Oh, that's nothln'." David's out
spoken gratitude appeared to embar
rass Mr. Farquar. He chuckled soft
ly to himself a moment, then added:
"It Jus' Btruck me 'at I'd like to try
a fellow onct who'd l'arned afore

A standing puzzle is the almost
universal tendency of men and women
of all races to use the right hand in
preference to the left. Examination
of skeletons has shown, by the differ
ences of bone development, that this
tendency is of very ancient origin. It
Is often ascribed to the fact that the
left hemisphere of the brain which
controls the right side of the body
possesses, In normal persons, a su
perior development. But those who
think that the preference for the
right hand is an acquired habit, al
though one of immensely long stand
ing, suggest that perhaps the left
cerebral hemisphere has become bet
ter developed as the result of the
overuse of the right limbs. At any
rate, a society has been founded in
London for the cultivation of ambi
dexterity, and it will be for the phyBt
ologists of the future to determine
whether education in the use of the
left hand can affect the development

Governor Brown's Gourd.

succeeds the eminent Hoke Smith, evi
dently is of a purpose to be our great

apparent not only by the fact that hJ

brown but by the further fact that the
glass drinking vessels of an effete civ
ilization have been taken away from
the executive water bottle and a gourd
has been hung up for the thirsty.
There is merit In the gourd. When
it floated gently on top the cool con
tents of the water bucket or hung be
side the well or spring it was an in
vitation to the parched and weary. Tin
and water have no natural affiliations.
A metal cup is a makeshift of a gen

the gourd or which does not know its
advantages. Glass can be tolerated,
but Gov. Brown showed his apprecia

he hung the gourd up by the water

HOME TESTING
A Suro and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important ques
tion of coffee, whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
alls and approaching fixed disease,
one should make a test of 10 days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. Of course you can
take It back to your heart again, If
you like to keep sick.
A lady says: "I had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since I
was a little child, for my people were
always great coffee drinkers and let
us children have all we wanted. I
got so I thought I could not live
without coffee, but I would not ac

about Postum that I decided to give
It a fair trial. I had not used it two
weeks In place of coffee until I began
to feel like a different person. The
headaches and nervousness dlsapr
peared, and whereas I used to be sick
two or three days out of a week while
drinking coffee I am now well an
strong and sturdy seven days a week,
thanks to Postum.
"I had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a
day when I thought I would experi

that caused the trouble, so I began to
