. BRISTOL HAY
Rthan Brett stood by ttie ship'
RMa, and one band rested lightly on
the hard awrtac of the rati. He wore
the blue clothe of the nary, and the
deep titn of hts skin was touched by
glow at excitement aa he watched
the econe before him. Bristol Bay waa
dotted with amall craft out to see the
aourxlron that had dropped anchor In
the harbor the evening before; there
were llttlo rowboata rising to the
crnst of erery wan, sail boats scud
ding before the wind, and Dolny mo
tor boats chuft-ohufTiiiR to and fro.
Drl'tnl was Ethan's nii'lvn tnvrn;
ho hid wolkM Its street Bnd mlld
f bey pvnr since he could rerr embor,
tintll that day when he liiul rebelled
SipUnst his teety old father, and de
oltired he would slave no longer In the
di!8ty factory, but would live as a fel
low with Ms irenns ought to live. It
bad her th rnotlun of the Q'-eeks
fctd ttio eenior lirett had prevailed ae
to Tru with fie p'ji'HiibtoK :au pre
ttJ! ovnr Mm vho has it not. Put
Fthan hud boldly one to jall Ihe Bi8
and st'Ut no word borne of his whero
aboutB; he didn't like to rptnouibcr
the b''p.'nnlrif! of that llff afloat, the
sort of thing that had taught the raw
lad to bond his Mok to a higher power
as h.'s father's rope-end had never
done.
Alone; the shore from the town was
a dUip of red brlrk butidtng cl'-iater-lng
shout a massive chimney, and a
thin smuke brratlied lightly from Its
height Into the clear morning air;
young Brett smiled a little grimly as
he watched It the establishment that
had for Its master, his tall, command
leg father; and the young man won
dered how It was that be could have
gone so boldly and let that door shut
him out Into the world!
"You've got three wishes coming'"
Barett nodded; he knew the ship
mate' voice and felt a hand on bis
arm.
"I wish I had enough cash to stay
around this mooring when my enlist
ment runs out," said the other.
Brett nodded again; his own en
listment would be out In two days.
"Can't you speak? Ill have the
wishes then that my father owned
the business yonder; that I had a
house with a whale's jaw-bone In the
yard I can see on the tip-top of that
break-neck hill, and that I had a girl
as pretty as one that's come on board
to see the lieutenant."
The fellow moved off with a laugh;
Bvett bowed his head a trifle; the
shipmate's Joking words had struck
home; that bouse with the great Jaw
bone In front was where Ethan had
been born, and his memory of the
tweet young mother who had died was
all In that setting. Only that third
wish, about the girl, hud no meaning
for him; there bad been a girl once.
child-sweetheart who had daintily
demanded that he fetch and carry for
her small whims, and whose face
wine back sometimes In the sailor's
dreams, but. Hi!en Beaver did not en
ter his reckoning of the scheme of
practical things.
Toe young man turned aud walked
along the deck, poised lightly to the
slight motion of the boat; he saw the
commanding officer at the gangway
taking a last word from someone
down below.
"You'll see him Immediately!"
Ethan caught his breath.
' "Immediately, sir!" said the man
on deck.
"Very welt slrl"
Ethan stepped to the rail and look
ad over; a little motor-boat was
starting to chug-chug off from the
trip's side, and at the helm he saw
bis white-haired father; opposite was
Vie fa'.reet face Ethan hid ever aeon.
the sweet, pure face of his chlld
sweciheart grown to the perfection of
womanhood.
"Brett!" called the officer.
Ktban saluted.
"Aye, aye. Blr.1" he arid.
The of!Ur gitneed ovwr the water
at the receding motor but; Ethan's
mouth vas g:iru nut at the tnought
that Helen Soavnr had brought that
Kght Into a strauge inn's eyes. Was
she not for him?
"Brett, your enlistment Is out In
two day a. There has ,ben a gentle
man here lnnolrlng If you will consid
er a place in his employ before you
le-ei.rist, uni ho wishes your reply
comjuunlcaud to-falm"
"I saw him, air!"
"Will you communicate with him?"
The young man drew a sharp
breath between his teeth. A girl's
fuce came between him and his curt
refusal.
"Yes, sir!" he said.
Two days later Ethan Brett stood
In the rope-walk office. His father
wiped bis glasses and put them oa
again.
Ethan threw back his head; the
civilian's clothes hampered him for
the moment; out of the window ha
could see the blue bay and the white
navy ship lying at anchor; the
thought of this grim man's watchful
ness touched him strangely and' be
turned back.
"1 want a new chance with you,
father 1 I want to commence at the
foot and work up to be your right
tumd man." his clear voice dropped a
little as he went on. "I've lived xleaa
out there, and I want another ctu-nc
here to try and win my old sweet
heart!" The older man put out both hands.
A ahade had gone from bis strong

FOR THE BRIOf-S.TABLS. t
By Miss Eunice Clsrkson. '
I"' I
A beautiful conception for a brlltkl
table la a "Cupid's. Road. "..'A' tiny
road the length of thi;t table, lsxnade
to represent Cupld'--'dr'jsiewarrhts
path Is "made of rife -bordered with
smllax and white rot-e.. All along
the thoroughfare are placej bisque
Cupids, and at the end of the wsy Is
a mixture bridal carriage decorated
with smllax and whim rosea, all ready
for the bride and groom to drive away
In.
Have suspended t-om the chandelier
directly over the tab's a large beH
made of white roses snd smllax. or
any flower which Is used. Place a
white roec at each place and for ouue
cards use plain white ones decorated
In one corner with a water color or
outline sketch of a bride and groom
walking up the stale.
A bridge of Dowers la suottier very
pretty scheme. In the center of tha
board rests a large circular mirror
bordered with (lovers. At each side
some distance apart are silver cande
labra crowned with candles and pre'.
ty abAdes. From one candelabrum to
another are stretched two stout wlre-i,
covered and hidden under a broed
band of ribbon. The rtbban I car
ried under the wires also, the two
bends being pinned together Invisibly
under little fern sprays and airy
bunche of white flowers. To give
the prettiest effect some of the blos
soms and greenery should fall natu
rally and easily over the edge. A
bisque Cupid should be placed at each
end of the bridge, and at the base of
each candelabrum are strewn flowers
and ferns. The Idea I a unlqu one
for a bridal table decoration, express
ing the Idea of crossing the flowering
bridge to matrimony.

. The strike was on All the tele
grapll operator In. the small City of
Jerome rer out of work, and the non
union men dare not fill the vacancies.
1 Hal Monson was desperate, for
his wife was sickly, and hfs three
children must be, fed as well. The
outlook ..for work was dark, and he
decided to go to Bolton, the nearest
city,. pd look for work.
, This . was s dnngerons venture
should It become known, but he could
not see his family want for foed.
One dark, rainy night he told hi
wife "that lf anyone called for him,
to say ho had gone hunting, and to be
sure end ask if there was any mea
saKo.." then he brfle her "good-by" and
told her not to wnrrv rf he did net re
t'lrn for two days.
He planned to go thro'tgh a dense
p'ece of woods nnd, lf pospible. take a
freight train from a way station. He
knew the engineer well, and had
saved him from drowning some years
bafore, so he felt sure of his ride
should he strive in time.
After walking shout five miles be
heard voices of men coining nearer
to him. He had only time to step
fronl the Mth and behind a tree,
when thejt wore close upon him.
This Is what be heard; "If we can
only wrk the express It will be a
great stroke, for the officers of the
Tel'ji-iaph t'ompany are coming to Je
rome to-iiieht to talk over the strik
ers It possible." His com pen Ion said;
"We muni cut the mires for our own
safety, and If the worst comes we will
burn the main office of the company,
and aa we have a busy night we bad
bvtteT. bo moving faster."
Hal was horrified at tbelr plans
and resolved to get that tseln if It
took the last bit of strength he had.
After a greet many falls and hin
drances by running Into trees In the
dark, at last he came to where he
could make bettor progress, although
bis boots wore heavy with the water
In them.
At times It seemed an Impossibility
to ever reach the station, but when
he t.houi-tit of the lives that were
Jeopardized and what the alternative
would be, he renewed his efforts and
tumbled on, till at last the goal was
In sight
Footsore and almost exhausted he
reached the door of the station, and,
leaning agnlnst It, ha , listened for
sounds of the train. None came and
he felt all wa over. No! He would
try and get a message through; It
might not be too late after all.
As Che door was locked he went be
hind" the building, sod finding a box
he. managed to mo-mt It and climb In
over a transom that had been left
open. It too, but a minute to light
the smoky lamp, and he called one,
two,4 three stations without any re
sponse. At last an Inquiry, "What do
you want?" J07 he waa In thne!
.Click, click, click went the key as
fast as his weak fingers could drive
It and this I what he sent:
"Danger; stop e buir. burs-
What? Was the wire cut? He tried
many times, but no answer came.
Alas, he had fallod again. He grew
faint and dlny at the thought and
must do something, so wrote on a tele
graph blank. "Danger; stop exprsss;
wife cut; help needed In Jerome,"
then nutting It In- his pocket he stag
gered to the door, opened it and sank
In a faint,'
. j The, freight, a half hour late, came
slowiy (oto . the station and stopped.
The 'engineer, BUI Graves, came over
to the platform, and seeing Hal, spoke
to him, and getting no reply, threw
tho light from his lantern on his face,
and wus stariled to ilnd his old friend
there at such so hour and uncon
scious. He went Inside sud found soma
ammonia, vhlrh he used to revive
Hal.
As Hal on.-f.edhU eyes. Bill said;
"Been a gl'.ost, Hal, cH fellow?"
"Oh. Bill. Is It you, and will you
help me save them?"
"Sure I will; speak up, man."
Hal sat up and said. "We must hur
ry. Detach the engine and take me
to Bolton at once with you."
"Couie on; I'm ready," snd to tha
brsfceman he said: "Display danger
signals untM I return.''
In five minutea they were speeding
as hevnr train had been run over that
crooked roftd before. On, on, on.
Would the end ever be reached?
Would they be in time? The sus
pense was growing unbearable and
Hal was straining every nerve to keep
up his courage.
At last Button was reached, an-l
beore the engine had come to a halt
Ual was off snd, panting, ran up the
street, and sewing a horse tied to a
post, he cut the strap and, mounting
him, went racing "ip to the main tele
