"Business Correspondâ€" ence" by Harvey Lee Marcoux (D. Van Nostrand Co:, New York) covers this field admirably. ‘The chapters deal on the mechanical requirements and generl principles of the business letter, sales letters, orders, credits, acknowledgements, etc., etc. Every business office requires a book of this kind, and "Business Correspondâ€" ence" will be a valuable instructor and handy adviser in all cases of doubt. ‘The diseovery of Ankhor some sixty years ago by the great French naturalist Mouhot remains to this day the richest find of ruins of anâ€" cient civilizations and indlcatlons‘ are that there are still greater treaâ€" sures in store in this magic city.

Someâ€" how his mind felt respect for any boat his father had built. She was sound. Every plank and rib, every rivetâ€"butt, sound! She had never gone down with Gustaf. He had died ashore, died wet, but on land. ‘There was proof of a good boat. He ‘jerkâ€" ed the trailing wire to a spark plug. Once more he spun the flywheel. Twice, a third time. Still no life. Another hour he labored. ~He stagâ€" gered forward at last and peered through the sprayâ€"blown glass. He could see no light, only the black face of night, shutting out winds and water and fast flying sky: He returned aft. His foot tripped near the engine. Stooping down, he felt a square obâ€" ject. The battery box! What a fool he was! No wonder she wouldn‘t start. ‘The box was out of place He never had thought of the batteries. He wedged them back where they beâ€" longed, working now in the dark, by the sense of touch in hQ chill bruisâ€" ed fingers. ~ His shoulders had stiffened this time when he twisted the wheel. The exertion tore their cords. His nose was bleeding. it was dark, he could not see blood, only he tasted it zs he opened his mouth, gasping for breath. The priming can rattled against the cups. Again, with a heart breaking effort he swung over the flywheel. The engine ~ sputtered, with a small clucking noise as if surprised at itself. He cranked the wheel again. Suddenly, so suddenly that Norman teetered on his feet, Gusâ€" taf‘s motor sprang back to life, beâ€" gan an unexcited and even vibration, purred easily. There in the cabin its voice rose in a calm, competent murmur, a positive tone, sane in the midst of a world gone made outside, an unbroken tempo under the exploâ€" sive vociferations of the elements. ‘Norman struggled toward Mcâ€" Carthy He shook his wet shoulders. "I say, Doctor!" The doctor stirred. One knee bent convulsively. "I‘m ready to go back up!" Norâ€" man shouted. "You better crawl forward there. Under the peak. . get a bit of ballast. . . . keep you from rolling." He dagged the physician past the threatening flywheel and stowed him forward under the bow deck, bracing him down with nets and a cork belt. At the steérn he lifted the.trap and staggered out again into the sight less immensities of the night. It was hideous this time. For oae} sickening minute, Norman considerâ€" ed retreat. At least he couldn‘t see down there in the cabin, couldnt‘ see the waves or feel the wind. Burst the hinges off hell, old Stocking had predicted. Or was it his father who had said that? Weakly he clung, half bent, to the wet, tipsy, cabin rail, suddenly remembering that story, hearing Gustafs singsong voice: ‘‘Waves so big we was glad when night come so we don‘t have to see them!" land." 7 A moment Norman faltered. Then he slammed down the trap. A sea slapped his, face. The tiller yanking at its lines under foot, banged against his left ankle. He released the lines and gripped the cak bar between his heels. The boat gladly answered the push of its proâ€" pellor. It nosed energetically through an overwhelming wave. Norman, clinging to the hand rail, felt the water as it swept over him, tearing the sou‘wester from his aching head. He closed his eyes . . . . funny McCarthy and hé both losing their hats.

He heard a sound down the squal ling wind, an infinitesimal sound, far His tried eyes picked through the darkness. Fresh squalls of wind flung buckets of stinging spray into the air, slanting across the cabin against his face.

He‘d need a distress signal himself in a minute.! unbroken suppliant blast. "Distress‘" Norman told himself; he squatted low against the cabin. "Vessel in distress. . Continuous blast." + ‘The storm doubled its fury. In an immense Barbaric temper it flung screeching and shrieking across the distracted waters. ‘Norman cried aloud, his teeth chattering. . "Can‘t get worse. . . . that‘s the turning point!" . The night laughed. Insolently, to prove that he knew nothing of its strength, it slapped a million new winds, booted, roweled winds down ipon him. He sought the sky helpâ€" dessly. A faint luminance shone above the port bow. It spread across che mists, pierced the dull opacity of the night, threw a pallid ‘glow upon fog and water. It was day. The horizon ran backâ€" ward, halted at two hundred yards, and held fast. The ‘blast of the vessel in distress snorted down . the wind. A long steamy cry Much nearer. It seemâ€" ed close by. Norman stretched his aeck forward. . Five minutes blew past. ‘Then a blur of dark solidity ‘broke out of ihe watery walls. He could make nothing of it for a moment. Shapeâ€" ‘ese, high, a bulky immensity, it moved with a slow even motion. Then from one side an iron proâ€" peller took shape. It was the stern of a freighter. Useless rudder and propeller, trees high in the air. Her black funnel solled. Gradually, as she came nearâ€" er, her bow heaved into view, low in the water, with breakers smashing across the pilot house, flooding tre pbservation. An ore carrier, she proved to be, of old built and eight or ten hatches; sinking by the bow. The storm pushed her toward Norâ€" man. His eyes strained. The misty forms of five men clung to the taffâ€" rall.~ Forward of the coal bunkers, hanging to a line, he made out others. Easing to port, he felt the protection of the vessel‘s side and drove ahead, around her submerged bow. He saw empty davits swinging iike supplicating arms above the deckhouses. Empty. Their lifeâ€" ‘boats had been lost then . . . . . smashed, no doubt. The men were waving mechanical ly. But even as they waved a grayâ€" ish roller depressed the bow, flung up the stern, twisted it in a sideâ€" long gesture and amacked it down. It would have ripped to broken planks any craft venturing near just then. Norman steered off warily. ike a gull his boat rode high for a perilous moment; like a . gull it What could he do! How could one man in a small fish boat even hope to help those poor devils? Beâ€" sides, he had his own passenger to consider. Down there in the cabin was the doctor With windâ€"burned eyes he watchâ€" ed the tall carrier, glanced to lee ward, looked up toward the roiling funnel, felt icy spray in his face. ‘Nothing to do!

SOME GOOD ADVICE Take a vacation that will benefit all the family alikeâ€"a place where there are no annoying little chores or the . everlasting housekeeping routine to attend toâ€"a place surâ€" rounded by the wild beauty of the northern woods, yet having the conâ€" venient facilities and comfortable accommodation of the city home. Nipigon Bungalow Camp, situated on the east shore of Lake Heélen in the Nipigon River district, is easily reached by Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way or Great Lakes Steamers. French River Bungalow Camp, loâ€" cated on the beautiful French river a mere 200 miles from Toronto, is also served by the Canadian Pacific. In these camps one enjoys the privacy of a cozy bungalow, comâ€" fortably furnished and electrically illuminated, with maid service to take care of details. Charges which are very reasonable are "American Plan" and meals are served in the big dining room of the Club House, 1or, in hot weather out on the wide, gcreened, cool verandas.
