To Brittany, at the westernmost part of France, came in the tenth century many thousands of settlers ' who had just left that part of England | now called Wales to avoid the rule of the Norman. How strange and rude that Brittany! How rough and picturesque her peo- ple! “Arid as Brittany,” says L3 proverb; “Stubborn as a Briton,” re- torts another. And there you have in & few words the most striking charac- teristics of both. Fancy a succession of bleak plateaus spread over a hundred square miles of land, showing to the sun nothing but the bareness of their myriads of gran- ite rocks, and the vegetation that can extract a living in the interstices, un- der the action of frequent sprinkles and vapor baths exhaled by the Gulf stream; and blown over by the ocean breezes. This is the country! Imagine an individual of mean size, but sturdy, muscular, vigorous, and seeming to have inside the skull more elements of will, of tenacity, of ob- stinacy than the rest of the world. That {8 the man! hears the story of Marie Legoff, and, told by her countrymen, it is worth the ELAND, FLA., NOV. 21, 1914 ‘usi receivec, a conlplete 2 inch line of 10 ard 10 te 14 inch The Brinley Hlow is on is scid with a gu back. ————— .

Marie Legoff, then fourteen years G old, was the housekeeper of her fa- ther, a fisherman of Lannion, when the turbulent waves of the British channel crushed the old man and his boat on the reefs. The flsherman who found the wreckage on the sands went to Marie Legoff and told her about his discovery. “Poor girl,” he concluded, “what are you going to do now?” Then with Briton brusqueness, “You'd better go to an orphan asylum. Do you want me to do anything about it?” The sight of Marie Legoff was a piti- ful one at first, but her blood did not take long to reveal itself in pulses ot undauntedness, and presently, restrain- ing her tears, raising her bowed head, her eyes flashing a flerce determina- tion, she said: “Thank you just the same, John; but the sea took my living, and the sea shall give it back to me—or swallow me altogether.” | And two days after she went out to sea with an uncle. | The short trips of her uncle’s boat did not satisfy Marie Legoff, as she longed for a time when she could, on 8 bigger boat, fight and wrestle with that sea that had taken her father. That time had come with her mar- riage. Husband and wife having some money, put it together to buy a sloop of about fifty tons burden, and they went to sea, doing a coasting trade. If the husband had the brevet, the wife was the acting captain, and no' one on board would have chanced to say a word about it. People from dit- ' ferent ports of the coast have still that vislon of a sloop coming into' port crowded with sails, speeding in- solently amidst an anchorage full of moored ships, and steered by a tall, straight, energetic woman, a veritable picture of determination and daring. At the very moment when onlook- ers, breathless, anticipated a crash against pier or wharf, Marie Legoft uttered a sharp order, staysails and anchor dropped at the same time, and the ship, veering sharply, came quick- ly stern to windward and rocked her- self on her cable. i After years of high-spirited life, the end came. One day as the sloop, pur- ' sued by a maddened sea, was feeling her way through a snowstorm and . trying to enter the river of Morlaix, ' the boom broke, the spanking power | of the fore and aft mainsail slackened, | and she was driven helplessly against the rocks. Between the ship and the shore was a rocky reef, a veritable wall, over which the sea broke, raging furiously. Only one thing could save the crew from certain death, and it had to be done quickly. It was to swim ashore with a line, Who would dare to attempt the perilous undertaking? The sailors shook their heads and muttered: “That is a sure death.” Without a word Marie Legoft seized the end of a rope and began to fasten it about her waist, when her husband sprang to her and shouted: “What are you doing, Marie? There is just a blanket of foam on the rocks; you can’'t get across.” But the acting captain had not yet given up her command. She stopped him with her intrepid look and said: “Who told yvou that there was no more than a blanket of foam on the rocks? Not I! I only say that I will carry the rope!” | Without listening to further pro- testation, she sprang overboard and dived into the raging waters. After an age she gained the surface. Si. lence prevailed on board. Straining eyes watched her. She was dashed forward by a violent surge, drawn back and buffeted by another, but still swimming and struggling she made her way, dragging with her the rope. Suddenly a huge wave hurled her on the top of the reef, another one tossed her to the other s!de, toward the shore. She seemed then but a floating thing with her clothes bagged by the wind. Finally she stranded, still clasping the rope of salvation. She was seized by the fisher folk who had gathered and watched her audaclous act, but. .t s S e L s L e Y] H §“ While they last— , of her mother, who will be queenly in WATERMAN'S IDEAL FOUNTAIN PENS ST E BB PPOPE DR OFFICE SUPPLIES BLANK BOOKS DeLUXE LOOSE LEAF LEDGERS l | Almost Compulsory That There Should | Be at Least One in Debutante's Trousseau.

H The luncheon cloth that is appur-' ently two crossed runners of linen is now well known. From this idea, however, has been evolved one that Is even more attractive, that of the Greek cross. Instead of being cut in two oblong strips and then crossed, the linen is cut in one and in the form of the Greek cross. So that the surface of the cloth will not be too solid, insert medallions of cutwork or lace or drawnwork. Even strips of lace insertion will relieve the solid surface. A plain edging of cluny, torchon or coronation crochet may edge the cloth, or, it you wish the cloth still more elaborate, place an insertion of the lace within an inch from the edge. The insertion, of course, should match the edge. It you wish to complete the set, make four bare places that are left when the cloth is spread upon the table. These should, in embroidery and lace, match the center cover., S D BB P DG 3 Power of Imagination, An Indianapolis woman who took her summer outing with (riengs tn the woods carried wit snakes, which was a rattlesnake was killed 1n th, i s borhood.
