500 TRIMMED HATS
Every third month a broad-shoul-

when he walked along the quays, but
when ho disappeared he took up his
vocation of attending the lighthouse
on Bishop's rock
Why he had entered this branch of
the government service I have never
been able to And out. Now, at the age
of forty nine, he was filled with a hor-
ror of tho sea, and the Prince Albert
coat, which he wore during his week
off, be put on aa a protest against his
work. Nothing gave him more pleas-
ure than to be taken for a drummer.

"The sea Is as smooth as a pollBhed

house was dimly visible against tho

"Around Bishop's rock there are un-

IT IS OUR BEST WHITE SALE
Inside and outside, it is the Best white sale we have ever held.
Inside—Planned better, bigger and on broader lines; prettier daintier,
more serviceable undermuslins. OUT-SIDE, prices—Remarkably little
prices for good garments.
"I'll give my machine a rest, it needs it, incidentally I'll take a
vacation. It is useless to make undermuslins at home when they can
be bought ready-made at these prices." The logic of these remarks
is irrefutable. " The garments and the prices are here to substanti-

above the rock had been carried away
by the foaming waves during a stormy
night.
Zlegler trembled and stood up.
"Thank the Lord, I have only ^one
more winter to spend out there." he
said.
"And then?" 1 queried.
"Then I am to be transferred to the
North Foreland lighthouse and will be
able to live ashore with my wife and
boy. By the way, I wanted to speak
to you about Leopold. He will soon
finish school, and what are we to do
with him then? Come along home

Ashing village and involuntarily I turn j home o( Mrs. j. o. Digges. The bac-
ed my steps toward the signal house! ca]aureate sermon Sunday was de-
on the cliff. I was so filled wlth|iiverelj by Dr. Phil Baird of the First
thoughts of Zlegler that I was not at
all surprised to find his wife there
staring toward the lighthouse as ol
old. , „ ,
'1 had heard nothing about It, I
said as I shook her hand.
Then she told me how her husband
disappeared.
On Christmas eve the light was to
have been lit at four o'clock, but the
minutes passed and at half past the
Bishop's rock was still dark. On th«
island people realized that something
had happened and the cutter was
made clear.
Of the three men In the lighthouse
only two were found. They said that
Zlegler had taken the day watch while
the other slept. He was to call them
a little before four, but when they
woke up it was dark and Zlegler was
not about.
When they lit the light they saw
that he had made an entry In the
Journal at 3:40 that a schooner was In
sight. They looked everywhere, final-
ly descending the spiral stairway. The
lower door was open. From this a
narrow Iron ladder led down to the
little landing.
There was only one explanation.
Zlegler must have gone out on the
Iron ladder, then stumbled and fallen
Into the sea.
This Is what Frau Zlegler told me
and I wondered why she should want
to go on living here.
She shaded her eyes with her hand
and stared across the sea.
"There is the cutter from the light
house," she said. "Come down to the
harbor with me and shake hands with
Leopold. He la third man on the
Bishop now."
"You are surprised," she went on as
she looked at me. "Do you remember
that the last entry that Frederich
made was about a schooner? That
schooner went ashore on the rocks at
half past five that Christmas eve. One
man lost his life, the rest were saved.
That man was drowned because my
husband had not lit the light In time
and that Is why I gave my son in-
stead. If the Bishop's light goes down
this coming winter it Is only a life
for a life."
