Milwaukee Sentinel. THE OVEN. BY R. VV. CHILD. AM inclined to think that a girl's wit is quicker than a man's in a tight place, if the place is tight enough." Mr. Colchester had spoken after we had been silently .several 'minutes watching 3 Q I JL Sitting for the , mist that was? creeping over the moonlit water., and listening to uj. xue crictets in tbe grass. He always' began a story by stating the moral. His way was to present some conclusion and then prove it by a per sonal experience. "I was thinking of my sister," he explained. "She once saved us both from a fearful death. If it had-not been for her ready wit I should have been a biscuit!" r At this every one straightened up perceptibly., Mr, Colchester's stories were always interesting. "Perhaps all of you do not know that my father was a cracker manufactur er," he continued, "and that he shad a shop with machinery and three ovens in it; Of course that would be con siTS c .l, .... . sidered nothing to-day, when there are) bakeries that supply thousands of peo pla in every part of the country, but when I was a boy I remember I used to wonder that there were enough mouths to consume all that my father's workmen made. J" "I often went down to the shop, for it .was really fascinating to watch the mixers turning the great rolls of dough over and over, and see the cutting ma chines chopping & long strap of it into little sticky lumps. .Then old Carberry, the baker, would toss the pieces which had been patted and molded by hand on the tiled floor of the oven. Some times my sister Margaret used to go with me, for we were great chums, and it was on one of those occasions that we got into trouble. "The day, I remember, had been rainy, and after a discouraging attempt to amuse ourselves in the bouse, Mar garet said, 'Let's take umbrellas and go down to the bakery.' "I was so glad of the suggestion that I forgot it was the noon hour, when the men would be gone and the ma chinery shut down. It wasn't until we saw the deserted room that "we remem bered it. " 'Well,' said I, ve are bright, aren't we? But let's look round I'll tell you, let's look at the cool oven.' " 'Coofoven!' exclaimed Margaret, in surprise. , . "I explained to her that in the or dinary course of business only two ovens were used, and that unless there were extra orders there was always one oven which was out of commission, being shut off from the furnaces below by the big sheet-iron dampers "I raised the latch of the heavv door and bent down to look across the flat, tiled surface inside. " 'It's just like a cave, isn't it, Bob?' cried my sisterand I laughed at the idea and asked her whether she ex pected to see a bear or a robber walk out. " '.Of course I don't!' she said, for she always was on her guard against my making fun of her. 'Let's crawl in.' " 'Ay right,' said I, touching the brick walls to make sure I hadn't made a mistake; and then I followed her in side through the gloomy opening. "'Will it get my dress dirty?' Mar garel asked, out of the darkness. "No,;indeey said I. They have to keep these ovens clean as can be They're fussy about every speck of dust "I had hardly finished when the iron door behind us shut with a resounding clang. One of the workmen who had come back to work had closed itL " 'O Bob cried my sister, with a lit tie scream of fright, 'we're shut in!' I " 'Like two biscuits,' I laughed A11 we have to do Is to shout and some one will -come.' - ! "But Margaret was really scared and groped her way near me to put her hand on my shoulder. I confess the darkness and the close, stuffy air were far from cheerful. I began to'' call as louidi':l cooldii it arid not getting any answer, I creptj over to the solid iron door and beganj kicking it with my heels. After a mo-' inent I stopped, breathing, hard fronij my exercise, and" then I heard Mar-: garet's voice .behind in e, saying:. (,' ' Waith a minute, Bob ! Listen ' i"I strained my ears, and from the! outside I could hear a rumbling tnat seemed to come from far, f rfr away. 'It's the machinery!' I cried. It's after 1 o'clock, and they have begun toj work again. No wonder they couldn't hear us." "By that time I had become really frightened, and I suppose I must have, temporarily lost my head. I shouted! wildly until my throat was sore, but, it seemed only to fill our oven trap, with noise. There was no hope what ever that it would penetrate the thick brick walls. Suddenly I was startled into silence by a sound of scraping iron underneath us a familiar noise to my ears. Some one had pulled open the great damper that shut us off from the tires in the cellar below! They were going to heat our oven! " 'What was that?' exclaimed my sis ter, touching my band with her cold fingers. 'What did that noise mean; Bob?' She seemed to know our danger by instinct. I did riot answer, for with a sinking, heart I felt ou my face the first breath of warm air! "Tell me, Bob!" demanded Margaret. 'They are heating this oven, aren't they?' She had caught my wrist and pressed it as hard as a girl could squeeze, "'Yes!' I gasped, trying to speak bravely. I remember I felt that if I were alone I should not care nearly so niueh, but the idea that my little sister would have to die, too, put me into another panic. "A second breath of air a good deal hotter than the first fanned my cheek. I jumped up with a scream, and beat and kicked upon the rough brick walls and on the iron door in blind terror. Then, exhausted, I crawled along the floor to the place where Margaret sat. She was crying quietly I could tell be cause when I put my arm about her I could feel that she was shaking. ; " They will never, never hear us!' she sobbed. " 'Don't cry, Margy,' said I, patting her wet cheek while I tried to arouse my own courage. 'Perhaps there is another way.' "I tried to think, but the heat had then become almost unbearable; it stung my nose and seemed to suffocate me. Once when I touched a place on one of the tiles I drew my hand back in real pain. . There was no hope off breaking the latch of the iron door, and no one could hear us, though we put our mouths to a little crack at the top of tne door and screamed. I was sure we would be baked. My arm was still round my sister, and her hand was still in mine, as if she were seeking the com fort of the touch. "It was becoming hotter and hotter, but nejthiif ---a3Ak m several taoo- onds. Then suddenly Margaret started up and cried out, eagerly, 'Tell me. Bob, quick! Have you got a piece of paper?' "I felt in my pockets. 'Yes, I hav an old postal card! 1 exclaimed. What are you going to do with it?' ' rney can't hear us. out we can make them see!' she cried. 'Hurry! Give it to me and your jack-knife!' "I handed them to her, and she began to pick at the hem of her skirt with the point of the knife. " 'We need thread,' she explained, exn citedly, 'and if this is a chain-stitch on this hem we can get it!' I lighted a match. 'And it is, Bob, it is!' she cried I realized that she bad caught an end of, thread and was carefully ripping it; out. " 'Now, Bob,' she commanded, hand-. ing me the card, 'punch a hole in the card and tie it through.' Her voice was weak. From my own struggle to keep my senses in the awful heat, knew that she was nearly at the col lapsing point. "'What are you going to do with it?' gasped. "'The door!' she answered, faintly. 'Dangle the card through the crack inj the door!' Then I understood her plan at last, and crawling painfully over on my knees I thrust the postal card down the little crack between the door and the iron jamb. " 'Pull it up and let it down!' cried Margaret, with a final effort, and I jiggled the string so that the paper would dance upon the wall outside. My head swam with the effect of the terrible heat, and it seemed ages before any one came. "Then suddenly the latch was lifted, the door swung open, and in spite of the blinding daylight which poured in I could see the astonished face of old Carberry, the baker," peerihg in at us! "I caught my sister's dress, pulling her toward the opening with all the strength that was left in me, and fell out after her into the old man's arms. "That is why I say," concluded Mr. Colchester, as Tie looked round upon us with a smile, "that it was a girl's wit that kept me from being baked like a biscuit. And that is the reason why I say that a girl's wit is the best in a tight place providing tbe place is tight enough."--Youth's Companion. Kncfcnraginy.

SHOT INTO American Fishermen Trespassing in Cannadian Territory BIT THIRTEEN TiMfcS IN FLEMING American Fishing Steamer Has Ex citing Experience With Cannadian Cruiser Vigilant. Erie, Pa., Special. The fourth of the fih tug incidents of the past week took place in mid-Lake Erie when the Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the big steam tug Harry G. Barnhart with small shells from the rifle on the pa trol boat. Captain Nick Fassel, of the tug, admitted after he escaped that the Vigilant could have sent her to the bot tom if Captain Dunn had so desired. They rah more than eight miles un der full head before they crossed the boundary line and escaped from the Canadians. More than thirty shots struck the vessel and of those 15 of the small shells landed with telling ef fect on the upper parts, so that the boat careened to one side with the mass of wreckage when she came into port. Having been used formerly for a pleasure steamer, the Barnhurst is of a large size and well fitted with steam equipment. The fireman, Mag nus Johnson, faited in the hold from over-exertion is keeping the steamer going ahead. He was reported killed, but revived after reaching shore. The fishermen were cut in the fact by splinters shot away by the bullets. The Barnhurst, according to Captain Fassel, was about five miles over the line drawing nets when the Vigilant appeared. The other Erie tugs, the Alma, Valiant and the. Boyd, were closer to the line and ran away when the chase started. Captain Dunn or dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in stead of doing so, Captain Fassel put on full steam and started for the line. He took a southwesterly direction and cquld not be headed off by the Vigi lant. , It has become Quite the custom for the Erie fishermen to cross the line re gardless of strict orders from the com panies employing them, and having ex citing brushes with the Vigilance. They never think of surrender when there is a chance to run away. The Barn hurst; lost a large quantity of nets. Tars LeaVes For Home. Yokahama, By Cable Secretary of War j Taft and party sailed at 3 : 00 o'clock Sunday afternoon for San Francisco on the steamer Korea, amid Japanese enthusiasm. A reception was given at the American consulate by Japanese merchants. Before sail ing Secretary Taft said he thought the reports of the Japanese anti-peace demonstrations had been greatly ex aggerated in America. He and his party had traveled all through Japan and jracl found no trace of any anti foreign feeling. While prominent Am ericans had been involved in a Tokio mob, he ' thought it was because the American party was caught in the mob, and not because they were Amer icans. Other churches besides Amer ican churches had been burned There was ! several special reasons, in each case, but no general anti-foreign feeling was responsible. Secretary Taft said that he had ex amined the Chinese boycott closely The Chinese, he said, wanted Ameri can goods, and having already lost $15, 000,000 by the boycott, were finding out that they were cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
