On one of these days he told her about what was weighing on his mind--of the fir he had had, and the fear that was on him of another coming. He told her of his family-how, when his father died, the farm had been sold; how his younger bro- ther had gone in for medicine, and after. managing with considerable saving and economy to get his degree, had gone out to the East to a place where he himself had seon that there was a good opening. He soon hoped to be able to bring his mother and two sisters out there also, which would give him the chance of seeing them some. times. It nover entered the thick red head of old Mag that all this feeling of sympathy, admiration and pity were deepening into the one great absorbing beautifying one.

Mao had never had a girl in love with him; he would have laughed as much as any of his mates at the idea of such a thing being possible. Not a week after he had made her his confidant they were both sitting in his cabin at ton-time when, with ́out a moment's warning, he fell back ins sensible in a fit. Horrified boyond measure, sho did not lose her head but seemed to rise above her usual self in face of the emergency. He had been sitting on the edge of the bed and fell back on it. She quickly tore open his white tunic, for a paperknife between his teeth. and began bathing his head with cold: water. Then, abutting the door after her, she ran to the doctor's cabin, and was lucky in finding him there reading in his bunk. In a few words she told him the facts, and made him promise it or of what she had dono.

Mac the impossible' he was always considered. In the days just before the end of the journey the girl appeared to have confided to her mother what she could not make plain to the man she loved.

Mac, who had been on duty during the night, was not even on deck to say good- bye, She delayed leaving until most of the passengers had gone down the gang- way. The special steamer mail train was waiting at the platform on the other side of the landing place. She ran down to his cabin and knocked. He had just finished dressing. She said she had just come to say good-bye. She said she would write to him sometimes, but that he need nevor write to her, as she would not call on him for a reply.

On the journey out a letter was waiting for him at Marseilles from her, a kindly friendly letter talking much about the voy- age and much about himself and his pros. pects, and hoping he would soon be able to bring out his mother and sister. She ap- peared to have forgotten no detail of all ho had told her but there was no address - only the London postmark on the envelope. At Port Said there was a still longer letter, which cans overland, by Brindisi. She said she would now not be able to overtake him with a letter until a week after the ond of his voyage, but he would get another from her then, and several on bis way back, This time there was no address either, but the postmark was from a little town in Scot land. Mac was much moved by these. His comrades aid he had become mondy and

Oft the island of Perim, near the southern end of the Red Sea, one evening lascar stoker fell overboard. Mac was on the bridge at the time and saw the accident. He jumped overboard for the fifth time after a drowning man. The sea was glassy calm. It was a much easier task thao AC- veral of those he had successfully performed before. When he rose and shook the wa ter from his carroty hair he struck out eastern with powerful strokes. He was not twenty yards behind the ship when those watching saw one of his arms fly straight up--at the same instant in a swooping curve the back of a shark appear ed for a second next it on the surface. The water swirled in the wake of the steamer, now stopped and began to reverse, but on sign of Mao again appeared.

A week after, at the end of the journey, a letter came for him, and one at each end of the three ports on the way back. The last I heard was that letters were still com- ing, as if the movements of the ship wore being carefully followed, because I heard of one having arrived even after the ship had been changed to another route. I don't know how long these continued. They may be coming still for all I know. One or two were opened, but there was no address.

RUSSIAN CRUISERS. The appearance of a Russian cruiser on the Cape routa has evoked renewed protests from the pross. The Times says that, in view of Russia's formai undertakings in roferenco to the Volunteer cruisers, if the cruiser really is the Smolensk, the question has relapsed to an acute stage demanding prompt and vigorous treatment.

1. The Domestic Tariff is made uniform for all places in China, thus abolishing all

2. The Domostic. Letter rate is raised

from 1 to 2 cents and the local rate from to 1 cent, per oz.

3. International letters and postcards will be passed free all over Chins na be. fore, but heavy mail articles will be subject to Domestic charges to and from all inland places in addition.

The increase of the letter rate from 1 to 2 cents is a small price to pay for the abolition of annoying extra charges, for the previous rate of 1 cent was too cheap. Even two cents is loss than a halfpenny at the present rate of exchange, and to for- ward letters all over this vast Chinese Em. pire for two cents still makes it one of the cheapest rates of postage in the world.

Let us hope that these Regulations may meet with ananimous, acceptance, and so avoid any further changes for a good while progress in any public department than to come, as nothing is more detrimental to

continual alterations in tariffs. There may possibly be some who will still find fault with the now regulations, but few can deny their great improvement upon the last.

Mr Looker said that the facts of the oase were that the boys boarded one of the Company's oars, of the class that was originally intended to carry first class passengers only.
