Of the ma-king of books there is no end," None can deny the truth of this assertion, and judging by the great increase in the number of books made year after year, and the constantly increasing demand for more, it may also be said that Of the making of books there never wiii be an end." One important question, however, that arises is, How is this increasing demand to be met? And the reply is, By the invention and application of improved machinery." Perhaps to no other class of work does this answer apply with so much truth as to the manufacture of Account Books. Accountants and secretaries of large concerns, such as Colliery and Steamship Companies, are no longer content to keep their accounts in the old conventional style, using books made to stock" sizes, with pages simply ruled with £ s. d. colmnna. They must have books with pages so large and so intricately ruled that every item incidental to their business can be shown in a concise and comprehensive manner. The Western Mail Limited have special faci- lities for this class of work. and are daily turning out from their works Account Books of every description, from the simplest form to the most complicated.

BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT—COPYRIGHT.] I A SON OFANAK I By M. LOUISE i By M. LOUISE CUMMINS I "And there were giants on the earth in those days," wonderingiv quoted Kitty as she shot a glance over the bow of the eloop yacht. It was scarcely her fault that the glance was barbed. Mother Nature had done that- for the e\veet2 £ t eyes in Essex county. The Titan at Whom it was levelled occu- pied the centre thwart of a dory just- ahead. Behind the vigorous Ewing of his mighty arms the becalmed sailboat was being drawn lr rborward. "Who is he, Brad?" Kitty turned to the brother who had joined her in the bow. "The 'strong man' of the village, my dear, Captain Angus Rowe, and engaged, I under- hand, to that Junoesque girl with the rather plain face and splendid hair." "Oh, the girl who launders my frivols?" "I suppose so. I hear that nothing but a naphtha engine stands between them and their 'own fireside.' "How's that?" "Why, if our 'son of Anak' could afford to put naphtha in his boat he would be indepen- dent of the fickle 'breeze o' wind' which played as such a scurvy trick this afternoon, and could double his profits." "I see. Well, anyhow, I'm glad his strength came to our rescue to-night. I did not want to be late." "Of course not. I suppose poor Ross is cing on shore to try his luck for the twentieth time, if he can get leave." Kitty made a protesting move. But as she stepped from the yacht's deck to the wharf her eyes wandered to the fleet of warships which made the little harbour of Windhaven look woefully overcrowded. Perhaps the truant eyes accounted for the mis-step which followed. Captain Angus' big arm went around the little figure like a flash, lifting it to a place of safety. "Oh, thank you!" There was a breathless gasp of gratitude and another barbed glance from the brown eyes. "Look here, Kit, you mustn't smile a hole through that fellow's oontent." her brother admonished as they turned away. There seemed little fear of that as the "son of Anak" strode to where the glory of a set- ting sun marked out what to him were as harbour lights-the rich gold of a girl's head and a little silver chatelaine watch, which rose and fell upon a Hebe-like bosom. That it rose and fell so rapidly just now 1 was due to that misstep of Kitty's and the eight of Angus Rowe's arm as it shot around her. The girl's eyes were not lifted from the square of drawnwork in her bands as the man drew near. "Been waiting long, Bill?" His hand descended with tender strength upon her shoulder. The tall head stooped involuntarily as though his lips would like to reach her hair. "Waiting! Well, I guess." "Bill" drew the shoulder away coldly and Captain Angus smothered a sigh. It had been a hard, unprofitable day. The naphtha engine seemed farther off than ever. With a deep, disc-oura-ged breath the tired man dropped on a rough bench near which they stood. The sound was as a. match to the pent up fuel of Bill's jealousy. "I suppose you're going to take her out again to-morrow?" she flung around at him. "Who?" "Who?" The girl laughed aloud, and it was not a pleasant sound. "The lady. The one who stood in the bow to talk to you all the way in to-day—" "She didn't talk to me." "And who you were so almighty careful about just now!" The man turned his head wearily to look at her. Was she getting tired of waiting? Four years was a long time. Then his mind wan- dered back to the subject of their discussion a.nd he said the worst thing possible under the circumstances. "Why shouldn't I be careful of her? She's pretty and kind, and a—lady as you said." Bill was quite eilent, but her body fairly quivered. All that day 6he had stood over an ironing board-she, whose father had owned his own vessel before he went down with his ship off the coast of Greenland— her deft hands bringing to a state laundered perfection the costly lawns and laces of a girl, no better born than herself, who could go sailing in Angus Rowe's boat at any hour of the day she chose. Xo wonder life looked all distorted to her tired eyes. "And if we're ever to be married-" Cap- tain Angus broke in. It doesn't much matter," the girl's voice was choking, I—I'm losing interest in the whole thing, anyhow." Angus Rowe stood up slowly and the dying sun seemed to hold out sympathetic arms towards another death—that of a man's happiness. His face was very white, although his voice when he epoke sounded flat, even cold, to Bill's ears. You don't need to say that a second time, Wilhelmina," he said, and her mIl i name was as a death knell to the girl. "The way out was always open to you. I don't blame you that you've taken it." Was he relieved by the breaking of their engagement? It almost eeemed so to the girl's distorted senses. She had never had a ring. With trembling fingers she unfastened the one pledge between them—his only gift to her-the little silver chatelaine watch, and laid it on the bench beside him. Piteously loud its protesting tick sounded on the hard wood as Angus turned upon his heel, while with blinded eyes Bill stumbled to the little cottage above. Kitty Armstrong was walking beside a broad uniformed shoulder two hours later, watching the searchlight, from the Rear. sarge play on harbour and shore. Kitty, dear-" Lieutenant Ross Dunster bent over her, trying to corral her wander- ing attention. "Oh, see there!" She sprang quickly forward. The white streak of light which her eyes were follow- ing rested for a moment on something- something almost human—a tiny silver watch tickling away on a rough bench. "Why, it's a watch! And it's going. Some child-" Kitty reeled back against the uniformed shoulder, her speech broken in two by the force with which it was plucked from her hand. A tall figure which had been crouch- ing near the bench towered above her. Then she had a vi-sion of it huddled on the rough wooden seat while the searchlight rested on a head of copper-gold and Bill held the tiny timepiece to cheek and breast as though it were indeed a living thing. There were tears in Kitty's eyes as she turned away, and the Lieutenant drew her hand, unresisting, through his arm. Once she looked back. for the thought of that cowering figure hurt her woman's heart, but it was standing now and another loomed beside it. I—I'm not-losing interest-in it." Bill wa,a sobbing within Captain Angus' arms. "'twould mean death if I did!" His lips did reach the glistening hair I this time. Never mind, girlie," he patted her quiver- ing shoulder. And say, Bill, there's lots of business ahead of me. I heard to-night that the warships aren't going out till the en< of the week, and for the next three days ^visitors will be allowed on board. That me3.DS that I must be hard at it from morn- ing till night putting folks off to the ships. But -with good luck I ought to clear the price of the naphtha engine. Think of that, sweetheart!" Half-way up the cliff path they paused, hand in hand. A rich baritone voice was rolling joyfully out on the night air "The eailor's wife the sailor's star shall be. T-cave ho! m'latte It was Lieutenant Ross Dunster striding down the gig which waited to carry him back to his ship. and who found it hard M be conventional just then. For Kitty, sweet, illusive Kitty, had at last said a definite Yes."
SIXT'Y-FIRST TIME
SIXT'Y-FIRST TIME By F. A. MITCHEL The sham battle was at its height. A young officer galloped up to the Tenth infantry standing in an open field and called out to the colonel: "The judges have decided that your Ttgi«. ment has been slaughtered.' "Field officers all killed?" "Every one." "Good," said the colonel. sheathing his sword and unclasping his belt. "Since I am dead I'll take a ønad." The colonel called for his havereack, spread his luncheon on a napkin, ate his fill, washed it down with a pull at his flask, and lighted a cigar. He was rather young for a colonel, only 25, but a bloody war had killed off a lot of men ahead of him. The sun waa hot, and he was very drowsy, so he left hit men and walked away to a tree, under whoee limbs he stretched his graceful figure. He was sleeping soundly when one of the contending generals rode by, the general on whose side the colonel was arrayed. He was accompanied by his staff and his daughter, riding a brown filly and olad in .& habit trimmed with gold lace. "What's the matter with Colonel Lieterr" demanded the general. "He's dead," replied the lieutenant-oolonel, coming up. The general's danghter shrieked, threw up her hands, and would have fallen from her horse had not the chief-of-staff canght her. There was a sensation among the officers present, but no one laughed. A sudden thrill, like a death struggle, passed through the colonel's body, but beyond this he ehcewed no signs of consciousness. The general flashed a glance at his daughter, as though he wished a stray shot would knock out her Billy brains. "He's not really dead, Miss Rosamond. whispered the chief-of-staff. "This is a you know." "Oh!" gasped the lady, turning crimson. one could tell whether she was pleased Of grieved at the information. "Didn't the Tenth carry the -works an Chuckers Hill?" asked the general. "No, general," replied the lieuteoant- colonel; "the judges decided that we wws slaughtered and all the field officers killed." "Humph!" replied the commander. "The matter should have been reported to me-ui once." And, putting spurs to his horse, he, rode on, followed by his daughter, staff. &-OA escort. They were no sooner out of sight than, the colonel sat np. "That's the most ridiculous give-away I ever heard of. That's why we can't make soldiers of women. No matter how strong a front they present there's no knowing but that, if a mouse should run through their mnks, tbay would give way to panic. Here I've been hanging about her for months, cringing, pleading, she throwing me ofr, fool- ing me all the while,'only to let, it out in this silly fashion. Well, she's in for it now. It'll be the talk of every garrison in the army, and if she refueee me again they'll all say that it was I who didn't come up to the scratch." The soliloquy was interrupted by a. roar of artillery, volleys of musketry, huzza*. Then the bugler sounded a re-call. The battle was over. "This corpse," remarked the colonel, rising, "goes to quarters. To-night he gooeø to receive the surrender." Taps was sounding when the colonel rang at General Pertle's quarters. He called for Miss Rosamond, and. after considerable-delay, the lady came down. "Rosamond." he said, "pardon me for coming to you again after having been so lately refused for the sixth time- "The sixtieth, you mean," she said, tapping "her silken sandalled foot" on the rug. "It will be the six hundredth before I give you up." "Doubtless, your boldness this evening comes from that ridiculous mistake which occurred on the field to-day." "What mistake?" "Don't tell me that you didn't bar-- She hesitated. "Do the dead he-uP" "They certainly do not snore." "Well, then, do those who snore hear?- "You had ceased to snore when I-when the lieutenants colonel "Never mind, Rosamond. what the lieu- tenant-colonel 6aid. I have come for the seventh time-" "The sixty-first, you mean?" "Well, the sixty-first time. to ask the woman I love. the only woman I have ever loved, or will ever-" "Can't you change the form of your pro. pœa.l? You have used those woreta every time." "I win try. It is whispered among -the offioerw wives-" "None of their wives was present." "Their husbands told them-that I had won your heart only to throw it away; that yoc. not I "Cease such gossip. I do not wish to hear it." "At the officers' mees this evening I saw by their looks that something had happened, and I overheard a remark coupling my name with yours. 'It is false: I said. 'Gentlemen, I have the honour to announce my engagement with Miss Rosamond Pertle.' "You dared to do such a thing?" "I did. I beg of you, Rosamond, sweetheart, to confirm what I have said." He put his arm about her and drew her toward him. "Go at once to your father and tell him of oar engagement." "There is no need to do -that." "Why not?" "Because," she said, dropping her head oa his breast, "I an-notmoed it to him as moon as we returned from the sham battlethis after. noon."
