A GAY STORY OF THE HECTIC
LIFE.
Before the luncheon the Duke and Duchess inspected various sections of the show, which in- clude exhibits of the King and the Prince of Wales, and after, they saw. the parade of prize- winners and watched the riding and jumping.
Some stowaways have wanderlust, Others want to escape from their own country. But only now and then doos one of them escape the Ignominy of apprehension and the solitary confinement which in theae. days has taken the place of ship's "irone."
The Immigration laws of the United States and Great Britain are now so strict that only auhorised people have right of ingress and egress. If a stowaway is dia- covered, he cannot be permitted to land. He must be closely guarded, and the steamship company is held responsible for his safety, support; and repatriation.
No wonder that stowaways are looked on with al- most as much aversion as mos quitoes."

Once a man is possessed of such a ticket he can come on board and mingle with the passengers until the ship sulls. Steamship com- panies now know of this trick, and officers, closely eyeing all the pas sengers, pass along the decks as soon as the ship leaves the Hudson River.
