Instantly the little runaway stopped singing and perched upon the proffered finger. "Tweet!" he said clearly. "You rascal!" Nelson said. "Get out of that borrowed cage and come back where you belong.

Additional air, however, was pumped to raise her the few inches necessary to carry her over the dock sill; then by pulling, pushing and coaxing she was brought successfully to where she now lies on her own turrets and conning tower. A REMARKABLE FEAT. The marvelous character of this feat is not appreciated until it is understood that the great vessel came all these miles floating bottom upward and in charge of the three most powerful tugs obtainable. Fitted on her upturned keel were two temporary "deck" houses, one of which contained an air compressing plant which put in several hours' duty each day making up the air which was being constantly lost through her strained and The passing of this once mighty thing 610 feet long by 90 feet across, and looking more like the carcass of some monstrous whale than a ship, attracted much interest on both shores as she came up the Firth of Forth.

To bring up and run ashore an ordinary torpedo boat has become, to them, a mere commonplace event.

The towing was done by a German firm, one of whose vessels, Seefalke, is said to be the most powerful tug afloat and whose Diesel engines can develop 4,000 horsepower. A London tug also Doubtless the crew of eight, including two divers, who manned this unique craft on her last voyage, have now found more comfortable quarters than the "deck" house on the very unattractive, shell-encrusted and rusty keel where escaping air made every little pool of water seem to boil. at C.N.E.

Meanwhile Nelson studied carefully the "Lo6t and Found" colui daily paper, particularly the column headed "Found." There were many different things mentioned in that list; dogs, cats, horses, Jewelry, pocketbooks--everything except canaries. But he would not give up the search. One morning he came to the bottom of the "found' column with a sigh. Nothing to reward him this time either; he wished that be had the money to advertise for Timmy. Then he began to read the "Los*" column-- aimlessly, for that seemed useless Jhing to do. ^noved slowly through the advertisements. A tan-and-white terrier, a red cow, a lady's hand bag, a pearl pin--he was about to throw the paper aside when all at once his traveling finger came to a halt. "There!" he cried. "Ten dollars reward for the return of a yellow canary," he read aloud. That strange! Could some one have been kind enough to insert an advertisement for him? He was hurrying on to read the rest when a familiar fluttering sound in the next room at tracted his attention. He threw aside the paper and rushed into the bed room. Sure enough, just hoped, a little patch of yellow waa shining in the cage! The patch began to bob up and down, and Nelso cried out joyfully "So you're ready for your dinner, at last, you little truant! Well, I think it's high time!" He hurried to the cage and quickly shut and fastened the door. Then he turned to the window and was about to lower it when he noticed a knot of boys down on the pavement; they were looking up at him, "Did a canary fly into your house?" one of the boys asked. "Yes," said Nelson, "My own bird flew in. He got loos* last week, and he's just come back." The boys looked disappointed. "Oh, so it's your bird," they said. "We found him in a tree in the next block," one of them explained. "When we tried to catch him he flew Into a tree across the street, and then Into this window." "I probably would have never seen him again," Nelso said, "if you hadn't ffcooed him over this way. ' Thank As he turned to go. one of them said. "W for another canary wl eight of yours." "Oh.

"You've grown The bird hopped over to a little dish of water. As he tilted his head to drink he showed a ring of black feathers round his neck. Nelson started. Timmy didn't have a black feather on his whole body. Looking harder, the boy saw that one of the bird's toenails was broken. Timmy had no broken toenail. True, the black ring on the yellow feathers might possibly be soot, and the toenail might have been lately broken; but a dreadful suspicion had come to I Nelson. -" fn.nl I,-- for this year.

Nelson knew then that it was not his canary. He sat down in a chair and began to think. The ten-dollar reward came into his mind. How much that person love his pet to offer such a large reward! Presently he rose and picked up the cage. Well, one thing is certain, old chap," he said. "You've got to go back where you belong." went into the next room and looked again at the advertise-He found that the address was only a few blocks away--210 Allen Street. "They must be rich people," he thought, "to offer ten dollars for a ird." Putting on his cap and taking a firm hold on the cage he went trudging off on his errand. To his surprise 210 Allen Street proved to be a plain, weather-beaten little house set back in a gloomy-looking yard. "I don't wonder the canary flew away," Nelson said aloud as he went up the walk. A little old woman opened the door and peered out. When she saw the bird she gave a cry of pleasure. "I knew I should get him back!" she cried. Nelson banded her the cage, and a moment later the canary was in her hands. "His name is Ted," she exclaimed to Nelson, "and this is the first time he ever went away. I'll take him back to his care," she added, "You wait a minute." She came back fumbling in the pocket of her apron. "It's worth ten dollars to have him again," she said. Nelson had to admit to himself that the folded bill looked very attractive; nevertheless he turned away. "No," he said. "I couldn't take money for finding your bird--and I didn't find him anyway. Some other boys chased him into my window. Besides, I know what it feels like to lose a canary." The old lady looked up quickly. "You do?" Bhe said. "Have you lost one yourself?" Then she added abruptly, "Come into my sitting Wondering, Nelson turned back to follow her down the dark little hall. As he did so there was a burst of song in the room beyond.

Jew from other nations. They had many excellent qualities, but their temptation was to become very formal and legalistic. We learn Paul went to Jerusalem to complete his studies at the school of Gamaliel, a famous teacher, and rather liberal in his views. Some think that Paul was about fifteen years old at this time. This Jewish training was the leading factor in Paul's early life and it exercised a permanent control over his thinking. His doctrines were largely drawn from Jewish sources. He constantly appealed to the Old Testament, holding that the promises made to Israel would be all fulfilled, and though he afterwards fought for the position that a Gentile could beeome a Christian without becoming a Jew, yet he never rejected his early privileges. He insisted on the observance of the moral law as contained in the scriptures, and he sought to illustrate the doctrines of the Christian religion by passages in the prophets. His doctrines on sin, resurrection, judgment, were drawn largely from the lessons he learnt from Gamaliel. To his dying day, Paul was proud of his Jewish upbringing, and one of the saddest things in his life was the fact that his own people so often turned against him and rejected the promises made to the nation, while his fondest hope was that some day all Israel would be V. 6.

Born in Tarsus ... in Cilicia. Paui belonged to the Jews of the Dispersion, that is to those who lived outside the land of Palestine. It was natural that these Jews should be more or less affected by their Gentile surroundings, and that their conduct and opinions should reflect some of these new ways of life. Tarsus was an important city in what we call Asia Minor--was Greek in its mode of life, and was the seat of an important university where Greek philosophy was taught. Much has been made by some students of this Greek training, which Paul would have at Tarsus, and it must be recognized that these forces did play a real part in his education. He spoke the Greek language, wrote his letters in that tongue, and refers to the teaching of tl.e Greeks. But the opinion of the majority of scholars is that Greek philosophy and culture did not have s controlling part in the formation of Daul's views. The two greatest factors in Paul's thought were Jewish doctrine and the Person of Christ. III. his roman citizenship, Acts 22: 27, 28. Art thou a Roman? "Yes," he said. - .lis privilege was very highly regarded, and Paul was helped on many occa-cions by his rights as a citizen. This fitted him to go to all parts of the llb h , \ empire and we find that his language sijk nat) jg often colored by the different features of the great Roman rule.
