NEW GAOOLINE
CARO ARRIVE

The First One Arrived Monday
by the Ferry From New
Westminster

Monday afternoon one of the new gas-
oline cars to be used in the service on
the V. & S. between Sidney and Victoria,

arrived in Sidney on the Great Northern |°

ferry from New Westminster. Mr. Van
Sant and several other officials were in
Sidney to meet it and made the first un-
official run to the city. -

Mr. Hugh Moore, an old time resident,
had the distinction of being the first pas-
senger to ride on the new car.

_ On Wednesday afternoon Mr. Van Sant
made a trial trip to Sidney with the new
car and a trailer added fo it.

These cars develop 250 horse power
and should be a means of giving Sidney
amuch better service than they have
had in the past, in regard to both freight
and passenger service.

SIDNEY BEATS LATHERS

In a Closely Contested Game on Saturday
of Last Week at Victoria.

The Sidney lacrosse team journeyed to
Victoria on Saturday, July 12, via the
B. GC. Electrie Railroad to meet the Lath-
ers, of Victoria, in an island intermed-
iate championship game, and won from
their opponents by the score of 2 to 1.
The score hardly indicates the play, as
Sidney held the ballin the Lathers’ ter-
ritory fully two-thirds of the time, and
the Lathers scored their only goal while
E. Munro and Sid Humber, of the Sidney
team, decorated the fence for minor
fowls. [he winning goal was scored for
Sidney by Percy and Sid Humber after
fast work on the part of the whole team.

The Sidney defence played their usual
cool, hard checking game and anything
that got by them was handled easily by
the goal keeper. The teams lined us as

TRE REDEMPTION.

“Then-you wish to eall the engage-
ment off?” =
Bettina raised defiant, tear-filled
eyes to the white, stern face above her.

“T can't help it, Larry,” she sobbed.
“T ean’t help it, but he simply fasci-
nates me. And those cruel things you
said arn’t true—you know I wouldn't
have seen so much of him if yo et!
_But Lawrence Marshall could con-
tain himself no longer. ‘If I hadn’t
been off earning money for that little
home we used to talk of,’ he burst out
fiercely, finishing her sentence for her.
“You're not treating me fair, Betty,
and you know it. When a fellow’s en-
gaged to a girl, he doesn’t expect her to
trot around with other men the minute
he gets out of sight. And Win Shel-
don! Betty, do you realize how he
drinks, and——”

But Betty had sprung to her feet,
furious. Truth to tell, her conscience
had begun to prick most uncomfort-
ably and she was glad of any excuse,
however scant, to end an interview so
unfavorable to herself.

“Gol” She eried, standing very
straight and pointing melodramatically
to the door. “A man who comes here
to accuse the girl he is supposed to
love and to blacken the name of his
comrades—oh, for pity’s sake, go!” She
caught her breath in something sus-

Crash!

The fog lifted as if from the force of
the blow, disclosing a huge black hulk,
vague in the darkness, which, towering
high, was drawing slowly away from
the erushed, already settling mass
which had onee been the gallant erui-

ser Avenger. The water rushed in

through a gaping hole in the starboard
side.

On board white-faced order

reigned: boats were launched, life-pre-

servers donned, men divided into
groups to await their turn for the
boats. On the bridge a little group

gathered around the captain, who, his
grizzled face its bronze,
stood directing now this, now that, in
a voice

after boatload shot off toward the vast.
Waiting hulk close by, and disappeared
in the heavy darkness. And all the
time the Avenger settled lower and

lower in her watery bed.

A wreck in mid-ocean is not a thing
to be forgotten, if one lives to tell the
tale, and Lawrence _ Marshall's eyes
were haunted for years by the sights
they saw that night. He was eévery-
where; he it was who placed tenderly
in the waiting boat the crushed but
still living body of the second mate,
who had been caught by the prow of
the other ship and ground against the
railing of the boat he loved; he who
earried little Jack Midge, the scullery
boy, sick of a fever; he who knocked
senseless a2 man caught trying to
spring into an already overcrowded
life-boat.

But at length the last boat was ready
and only three men stood still on the
bridge—the captain, whose anguished
eyes wandered in a last farewell over
every beloved detail of his gallant
ship; Lawrence Marshall, white and
straight, and close by, clinging to the
broken rail for support, his handsome
face beginning already to show signs
of constant dissipation, Win Sheldon
stood watching with fascinating eyes,
as the water crept slowly up and up.

Suddenly a ery came from below,
‘Room for one more.” As by a com-
mon impulse the two young men
turned to their captain, but the old
man shook his head with quiet final-
ity.

The others stared at one another for
a moment in dumb despair and their
eyes were moist; then Marshall point-
ed to the waiting ladder.

“Hurry, Sheldon,” he said.

Sheldon shook his head and a spasm
of pain crossed his face.

“Tm no good in this world,” he said
hoarsely, “you g0 ” then, as Mar-
shall drew back, his voice rose to a
seream. “Go!” he cried, “for the sake
of the girl we both love—who loves

you

Marshall straightened up haughtily.

“Tf you please, let us leaye her out
of the question ’ he began coldly,
but he did not finish. Sheldon, know-
ing the desperate need of haste, drew
back his arm and with a swift thrust

struck him full between the eyes, and,
catching him as he fell, dropped him
gently to the outstretched arms in the
boat below. Then as the men put off,
looking back in silent tribute he clam-
bered back to his post beside the cap-
tain and stood, his slender figure out-
lined against the night sky, Straining
his eyes after the departing boat until
it was swallowed up in the darkness.
—Boston Post.

“You should have a thermometer to
ascertain the proper temperature of
the water,” said a fond mother to the
colored nurse who was giving the baby
a bath.

‘Whaffor?”

“To tell when the water is too hot or
too cold.”

“Don't need no sich dockerment. Et
de chile turns blue de water am too
cold, and ef hit turms red den hit am
too hot.”

And now the colored lady is looking
for a place—Texas Siftings.
