Through the sheets the sand was wet and sodden. but as the tide crept higher the booming of the surf grew louder and, mingled with the noise of wind and rain, al- | most drowned the voices of the men gathered about the table in the sta- iuon. { Four of them were playing cribbage, another was reading near the gray window and several others lounged about the room. In the adjoining room was the life boat, trim and ship- shape, ready for instant response to a call of distress. Up and down the beach patrolmen in oilskins were tramping, eves shaded with dripping bands and ears attuned to sounds of sea disaster. “Fifteen—two, fifteen—four—and— what's that?” ejaculated Peter Ran- tom, laying dowa his cards and turn- ing toward the man by the window. His companions turned also and all of them stared at a dark winged form beating against the heavy window pane. “It's a sea gull,” eaid another of the card-players. “If 1t is, don't let it in,” sald Jerome Garret, enapping his cards nervous- Iy. “It's bad luck to let a gull into the house.” “I'll go out and drive it away,” sug: gested Henry Horn, pushing back his chair and crossing the room toward the door, but the man in the chair near the window tosed aside his news- paper and arose to his full height. “Henry Horn,"” be drawled pleasant. 4y, “this is a life-saving station, isn't £ ok “Yes, of course it 1s," returned the other impatiently. “It doesn't say what kind of lives and we take it for granted that it means only humans and maybe pet dogs if they're carried aboard!

What—sa—ay?" He looked good-nat- uredly around among his companions and they gazed back at him with min- gled expressions of amusement, per plexity and doubt. “You're the capt'n, Tom,” sald Hen ry Horn sourly. “We've got to do as you say and I hope you'll take your share of the bad luck that follows it l you let that bird in here.” “I'll agree to take all the bad luck provided youll let me have all the good luck that comes In with, it,” smiled Tom Joslin as he opened the window and admitted 2 wet flapping bird and immediately shut the sash again. The bird fiopped wildly in the firing | gloom of the corner where it had o0 | wing and showed a small aluminum ; cylinder fastened there. D( “Give the critter something to eat,” | suggested Jerome Garret, relieved that the stranger bore mno {il Juck in | its train. “The fire needs poking up, Henry.” he hinted to the most oblig- ing member of the corps and Henry Horn adopted the suggestion and even prepared some warm milk and bread for the After awhile, when the bird had re covered itself and would sit snuggled in Tom Joslin's hand pecking at the food, Henry Horn once more gathered up his scattered cards. “Now that all superstition is laid at rest, Capt'n Tom,” he said, “I s'pose any message contained in that there cylinder belongs to you.” “That's right, it does, Capt'n Tom,” volced the otbers in chorus and with an appreciative smile Tom removed the tiny roll of parchment from its cylinder and read aloud the message it contained. “‘To the finder of this message which s born by Carrier Pigeon, Love Iy Lady, sent from Sea Wall, N. J, October 10th.—Please communicate with owner and oblige. R. L. Sprague.'” “Sea Wall, New Jersey—that's not far from where your sister lives, is it, Capt'n?” inquired Jerome Garret. “Not more than twenty miles away,” returned Tom musingly. “You know 1 start down there tomorrow on my leave of absence and I believe I’ take the bird back to its owner.” “Maybe you ought to send it out und let it find its own way home, "sug gested Henry Horn. “I would do that only it's rather a young bird and I think perhbaps this is its first long flight. I'll risk taking it back to Mr. Sprague,” said Tom with decision, and so the matter was set- tigd. The next day dawned clear and crisp with no signs of the heavy storm save the drift-laden sand and wind. tossed stunted trees that had bent still lower before their common enemy. Tom Joslin started on bis journey and when he reached Sea Wall it was an easy matter for him to find the residence of Robert Sprague. owner of the small shipyard. “Well, I'm mighty glad you brought her back to me, Mr. Joslin,” said Mr. Sprague heartily. “Lovely Lady is & young bird and this is her first flight as you bave surmised. She is the par ticular pet of my daughter, Mary, and it was agalnst Mary's wishes that I sent the bird out Tuesday in the face of the threatening gale. To tell the truth, 1 hardly dared to hope she would go very far. I've taken her to different cities and aflowed her to fly home but this is the first mesage she has carried forth.” a Tom Joslin was Interested in the companions of Lovely Lady and after Mr. Sprague had shown him all the other carrier pigeons he took him up to his pretty cottage where the life eaver had an opportunity of meeting Mary Sprague, fair and sweet and quiet of demeanor. She was delighted at the return of her pet ar? around the supper table that nigh: ‘Tom Joslin related the story of t'% storm and how Lovely Lady had tapped for ad- mittance at the window of the station and of the thriil of superstition her tap had caused among the men. “1 hope Lovely Lady hasn't brought you bad Tuck, Captatn Joslin,” cried the shipbuilder when Tom had con- cluded his story. Tom removed his eyes from Mary Sprague's lovely face and sald slowly and with a depth of feeling that he alone understeod: “If things ceme out the way I want them to, Mr. Sprague, Lovely Lady will have brought me the best luck of’ my life!" Toys for Baby. Among a dezen toys that have been given my bady there were two rattles with hard rings at the ends—just right for a baby to stick down his throat. There was a ball trimmed with loosely sewed bells that the taby immediately pulled off and put in his mouth. There was a worsted bail, so fuzzy that it furnished mouthfuls of lint. The only thing that it was pos- sible to leave him with was a rubber ring too large to get in his tdroat.— Altogether on the Skin on Which It Grows. As the hezlth and luxuriance of any plant depends on the fertility and richness of the soil from which it eprings, so do the health, gloss and sheen of our hair depend on the state of the scalp. The care of the hair in- volves the care of the scalp, or rather is the care of the scalp; the care of the bair matters but little; for from a healthy scalp can only healthy and beautiful bair grow. The luster of the hair depends on the amount of light that is reflected from each particular fiber; this, in turn, depends on whether it is cov- ered with an excessively thin coating of oil or mot. Unless this oil, or some artificial substitute for it, is spread over the whoie length of the bair, we see that dull look which s so un- sightly and which takes away all the beauty and brightness of an other- wise healtby head. The hair should be brushed thor- oughly every day so that the ofl is distributed evenly and uniformly throughout its whole length; a second reason why it should be brushed is that in this way the dust is removed from the hair. —— Simple and Effective. My little boy, three years old, trou bled me considerably by going to the homes of peighbors without permis- slon, so 1 followed this plan, writes & mother. Whenever 1 give bim per- missiol to go 1 pin on him a little card on which is written the word “permission.” When the neighbors gee the badge they allow him to stay and play with the children. If he ap- pears without it, they send him home. The card can be used many times, and the boy tnjoys wearing it. et Both Are Happy. If a woman gets what the wants to wear and a map what he wants to eat, there's no reason why they shouldn't live together and be bappy. —Tatler.
