His way now led towards the river-tid- e regions, and a cleansing whiff of tar was to be detected In the stagnant autumn air. lien with the blue Jersey and peaked cap of the boatman, or the white duck of the dockers, began to replace the corduroys and fustian of the laborers. Shops with nautical Instruments In the windows, rope and paint sellers, and slop shops with long rows of oilskins dangling from hooks, all proclaimed the neighborhood of the docks. The Admiral quickened his pace and straightened his figure as his surroundings became more nautical, until at last, peeping between two high, dingy wharfs, he caught a glimpse of waters of the Thames, the and of the bristle of masts and funnels which rose from Its broad bosom. To the right lay a quiet street, with many brass plates upon either side, and wire blinds In all the windows. The Admiral walked slowly down It until The Saint Lawrence Shipping Company caught bis eye. He crossed the road, pushed open the door, and found him- a office, with self in a long counter at one end and ofa great ships number of wooden sections stuck upon boards and plastered all over the walls. Is Mr. Henry in? asked the Admiral. No, sir, answered an elderly man from a high seat In the corner. He has I can mannot come into town to. age any business you may wish seen You dont happen to have a first or second officers place vacant, do you? The manager looked with a dubious eye at his singular applicant. he asked. Do you hold certificates? I hold every nautical certificate there is." Then you wont do for us. Why not? Your age, sir. I give you my word that I can see as well as ever, and am as good a man In every way. I dont doubt It. Why should my age be a bar, then? Well, I must put it plainly. If a man of your age, holding certificates, has not got past a second officers berth, there must be a black mark against him somewhere. I dont know what it is, drink or temper, or want of Judgment, but something there must be." I assure you there is nothing, but I find myself stranded, and so have to turn to the old business again. Oh, thats it," said the manager, How long with suspicion in his eye. were you in your last billet? "Fifty-on- e years." "What!" years. Yes, sir, In the same employ?" - D0YL3 but he set himself to do it with quiet resolution. At home they waited in intense anxiety to learn the result of the meeting. It was late before he returned, haggard and pale, like a man who has done and suffered much. W hat's this board in front of the house? he asked.

That's the bottom of it, isnt it, mother? You come and sit down here between us and tell us all about It. Harold sat down with a loving hand in each of his. It s not so bad as we thought, said he, "and yet it is bad enough. I have about ten days to find the money, but I don't know which way to turn for it. Pearson, however, lied, as usual, when he spoke of 13,000. The amount is not quite 7,000. The Admiral clapped his hands. I knew we should weather It, after all! Hurrah, my boy! Hip, hip. hip, hurrah! Harold gazed at him in surprise, while the old seaman waved his arm above his head and bellowed out three stentorian cheers. "Where am I to seven thousand pounds from, dad?" get he asked. Never mind. You spin your yarn. Well, they were very good and very kind, but of course they must have their money or their money's worth. They passed a vote of spmpathy for me, and agreed to wait ten days before they took any proceedings. Three of them, whose claim came to 3,500, told me that If I would give them my personal I. O.

The annual report of the superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey says, among other things, that the development of wireless telegraph systems during the year rendered it important that experiments should be made to determine whether It waa practicable to use the wireless telegraph for the purpose of exchanging time signals In the longitude work of the Survey. The Importance of & successful wireless telegraph system to a chart maker organization like the Coast and Geodetic Survey can be understood when it Is remembered tha the method of determining longitude by lunar distances Is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of accuracy and that by the chromometric method the cost of a longitude determination increases with the cost of travel between stations, and Its accuracy decreases as the time required to make a round trip increases. It has been customary In Alaska to obtain the results from seven round trips of a steamer for the determination of the distance of longitude between Important stations. The errors pertaining to the two preceding methods are either abolished or reduced to a minimum by the telegraphic method. It meets all modern requirements for accuracy and is comparatively inexpensive. Unfortunately for the accurate and rapid construction of charts, telegraph lines and cables do not penetrate everywhere. xi.1111 Ttrrirr " " Th Man Who Tried to Please.
